All Things Woompty

Suddenly sort of miserable

Have you ever thrown a party, and gotten really excited about it because a whole lot of people said they totally wanted to come and wow, it's going to be so awesome and hey, they can't wait?

And then a few days later a bunch of them say that they might not be able to make it but that was okay because dude, you still had a TON of other people who were going to come?

And then after you've made reservations at some swank restaurant for like 60 people, half of them end up saying "Oh, I can't come after all" and you get totally dejected because dang it, you planned an AWESOME party and it's going to be so fun and now NO ONE IS COMING and everyone must hate you and you hyperventilate a little over the gigantic deposit you already put down and the contract you signed saying that the restaurant would make a gajillion dollars off of your party, pinky swear?

If you have, then you know where my head is right now. Because PEOPLE!!! Why are you not registered for JournalCon yet? Haven't you heard that there's going to be Guaranteed Karaoke? And a possible girl fight between Weetabix and Plain Jane? And possible girl love between ....well, all the women of JournalCon. And I've heard rumors of a high stakes Texas Hold 'Em game being planned on top of all that.

So if you haven't, you seriously need to get your butt in gear and go register. Because you know what happens to all those people who don't come to the party you planned....they all end up being left out of the "you had to be there..." stories and giggles and gossip. And you definitely don't want to be one of them.

(Ans also, I just typed all of this with one eye open because I am having some freak allergy attack. That is how dedicated I am to you.)
