I know it's likely my professor will send out an email tomorrow saying we got extra days but I haven't heard anything and school is cancelled tomorrow so I wanted to get it in just in case since I had Thurs-Sat to work on it.. which I didn't.

Never procrastinate school work or a hurricane will kick your ass for it.

>quietly lurking since i was 13-14
>knew of jfash brands in general, loose idea or what lolita and fairy kei was, adored the dresses and different substyles
>often browsed mbok and y!jp just to look at simple cutsews and skirts in awe, loved banana fish

I'm 18 now, almost 19, and I just recently have accepted the reality -- there's no way around it. I'm going to become a Lolita. (Not baiting, being cheesy and dramatic deliberately.)
This actually is such a revelation for me. I always suspected I'd be content with cooing and awing from afar, checking daily coords and dressing in pretty colours. But I've developed my own taste and my selected my own dream dresses... there's no going back now.
I guess this is so monumental to me because I'm a poorfag who spends her spare time rolling in the dirt (obvious dramatization-- but I did grow up on a ranch..) and actually purchasing any of my fave brand pieces is going to take a while.

I know this probably sounds like whining, but I'm just actually so excited. I'm elated that I've FINALLY come to the conclusion that I'm gonna participate.. it feels so nice.

Sorry for the giant ass blog post. Forgive me this one time, please.

>tfw keep hearing this

>finally get to go to a con with my best friend for the first time in years
>will probably be the last con we go to together because she's moving
>start planning things out with her
>doesn't want to book a nearby hotel and instead wants to do the 2 hour drive there and back for all three days
>is planning on bringing her baby to the con (which will be at most 2 months by then)

I'm happy that I get to go to a con with her one last time, but I'm worried this won't work out well. I might try to gently convince her to find someone to watch the baby and convince her that we can pool together for a room.
