Oh my frikkin gosh.
I cannot believe this.
I just needed to update because this is so, so very cruel...
In a totally random burst of the Universe showing how infinitely evil it is, on the
ONE DAY I just completely randomly will be in Wellington in oh, the last YEAR AND A HALF, is the same day that
FRED FUCKING GALLAGHER is going to be in Wellington. And the con entry fee is
EIGHTY FUCKING DOLLARS! Oh my gosh, the AGONY. THE SOUL-SPLITTING AGONY!
Because most of the people reading this journal arent gaming geeks as well as other forms of geeks, I will explain. Fred Gallagher is the author/artist of
megatokyo; a comic that in a lot of ways, sums up my brain. I have been reading this comic for
four years and as a New Zealander, had completely resigned myself to never meeting anyone involved with it's creation, ever. Then I find out Fred is coming to New Zealand, and I joke about flying up to Wellington just for the sheer glory of meeting the guy (even if it would be lame and all, "Hi, oh my gosh I think your comic is great and I think you're a genius!" *gush gush gush fangirl gush fangirl* Him: "Thanks, I'm glad you like the comic." *signs something* Me: *Leaves with vague sense of disappointment*) but yeah, just a joke, right? Then I find out that I'm going to BE THERE, THAT NIGHT. And now I just want to kill something small and fuzzy because it's SO TEMPTING. Even though I have NO MONEY and even if I did have money I need to spend it on winter clothing because I've been away from true-cold for so long that all my old warm-things are dying.
But I'll BE THERE.
Oh hell, the AGONY!!!!
