Sick :'(

I hate being sick. I'll post the convention and Atlanta tomorrow after play practice, or maybe before if I have time.

Cosplays, Atlanta, and Celtic Woman, Oh My!

By the time you read this, I will be in Atlanta. It's for a lego tournament in the Georgia Dome. GO BANANOS! Being state champions of Minnesota is awesome. This will be a great oppurtunity to meet some people who share our passion. Even teams from 38 different countries will be there! I've been waiting for this since January!

Once I get back from that, Wednesday the 18 I'm going to Celtic Woman! I saw them last year, but I want to see them again! I love Celtic Woman!!! I can't wait to see them! Especially since I got their new CD as an early birthday present!

After that, it's No Brand Con in Eau Claire, WI!!! My first convention, since the other one was sold out, and this time I pre-registered!!! YAY!!! I'm going with my friend Mei, so this will be great! I'm hoping to improve my Asuna costume some since I've had more time. Maybe I can find a thrift store in Atlanta......

A Day of Mourning, Loss, and Tragedy

The first day of spring for me will forever be tarnished with sadness. My mother passed away this morning, the morning of spring's first day. I was in Social Studies at the time and got a call to go to the office after class. Another call came in for me to go right then. It was about 10:45. I had no idea how serious this was going to be until my neighbor was waiting for me in the hall. Tears were streaming down her eyes as I gaped at her wondering, "What was wrong?" She then told me, "Hurry. It's not good." Shock flew over me as I realized what was happening. I kept thinking, "Oh, God, mom. Please hang on until I get there."
Going twice the speed limit, we finally reached my house. Before the car even stopped I was out and running. Through the open door, up the stairs, not caring who else was there. My dad saw me and said through sobs, "I'm sorry. Mom passed away." Utter shock took over my body and I ran to her screaming, "Promise me you'll look after me!" I didn't care about the police officers (although they probably think I'm a freak now.), I just sat by her and cried. We had been through so much together, and now, after a 4 year fight with ovarian cancer, she was gone from this world forever. I know it sounds strange, but I don't feel sad or guilty. I know it sounds cruel, but I'm happy she passed on. I had a good relationship with her, and I'm happy that her suffering is over.
Over the next few hours, processions of people came to give their condolensces and make their peace. She had her last rites and we said a prayer. I feel like as long as I'm in this house, I will feel her with me. I don't feel empty like I thought I would. I feel at peace and happy. May she finally lead the life she had always wanted: a happy, cancer-free one!

On another note, I really should post more often....poor blog! So neglected! *pats blog* *slaps self for blog cruelty* Anyway.........that's about it.....i..guess.......yeah....

How to cram all the holidays into One Saying.

HAPPY CHRISMAHANNAKWANZAWINTERSOLSTICA TO YOU!

And there you have it. Christmas, Hannaka (Sorry if I spelled this wrong my Jewish friends, I am not very good at spelling), Kwanzaa, and the Winter Solstice. I know most people go "Winter Solstice? That's not a holiday!" Ahh, but it is my friend! The Wiccans celebrate the winter solstice! A time to honor the sun's return on the longest night of the year! See, I bet you learned something new today! :D
