"Do not fear failure."

Somehow, this was even funnier when read aloud.

On the other hand, taken seriously, and applied to, say... writing, it's a good sign. At least I'm taking it as one.

Also, Alpha peoples... have you ever tried to explain to someone why rejections are a good thing? o.O I tried today. He didn't get it. At all.

A thought

You know, I think it might be an interesting idea for all the Alphans who have websites to link to eachother. ( I'm specifically talking about those in the years I've gone, because they're the ones I know, but I'd totally be willing to link to other people as well. ) It just seems... well, right to me. Someone give me feedback before we all start posting linkys.

Cross posting this in [livejournal.com profile] alpha_alumni as well.

So, for the first time in my life someone I know has died. Or at least, someone I knew and was relatively close to. My grandmother's best friend, and like an aunt to me, passed away in her sleep the night before last. She had cancer, and the last year or so has been pretty bad, and everyone is a little relieved that it was an easy death with no trauma and not too much pain.

But I have to wonder why I'm not emotional about this.

Sure, I'm going to miss her. I loved her. She was great. But I'm not feeling a great sense of loss or anything. I'm not close to tears. Nothing. I heard the news last night, I accepted it. Done.

Which leads me to wonder about my emotional state. Sure, I tell people all the time that I'm heartless. And for intents and purposes, it's true. Being "heartless" and unfeeling is just a way not to feel any pain. I know, everyone is thinking, "But then you don't feel the happiness too," and you're all wrong. I get sad, sure. I just don't feel emotional pain, I think. Which has been, in the past, not an issue. Like the fact that I have a hard time trusting people fully. ( Which isn't to say there aren't people I trust. Hell, there are a whole lot of people I would trust with my life. ) But I don't fee anything over her death. She's just gone. There's nothing I can do.

Well, whatever. I'm sure that was supposed to help me figure something out.

Here are some pictures of Sky from Alpha and Confluence.

So yes, home. At 2:30 am. At that point I had been awake for more than 36 hours. >.< But it was worth it. Really worth it. I had lots of fun.

I still want to go to Alpha again next year, and I might get the chance to, as a staff, though it all depends on who gets voted for by the administrators. Here's hoping that they think I would be a good staffer. :D

Confluence was amazingly cool. I bid on and won two pieces of art in the art show. I got them for a total of $35. Which is pretty great. Between now and the next time I post, I'll take pictures of them for people to see. Because really, they rock so much.

No, I still have not read the 6th book. I was waaaaaay too tired on the trip home. I slept through the whole trip basically. Which was fine. I'm sure nothing interesting happened.

My Howl's Moving Castle book didn't ship until I was in Martha's Vineyard, and then didn't get to me until I was at Alpha. So I didn't get it until just now. ( Well, last night, but I haven't started reading that either. ) Fnar. Silly Amazon.

We're leaving for Confluence pretty soon. WHich means this is my last post until either I get home, or I get onto the supposed free wireless at the hotle. Either one.

I shall be cosplaying, as you all know, and I will take pics for all of you curious people. I wish I had remembered to bring my digital camera. But no, Sky is a forgetful creture, and she didn't remember. And her father wouldn't buy her a disposable one when she asked. Woe is Sky.

Er... I totally had something else to say in this post here. But now I don't remember what it was. >.< Mother fucker.

...

*snickers*

Anyway. Er... Can't remember. Oh well. See you all on the flip side!

Ok, I admit, the food here is... stomachable, at least. But pizza for every meal gets a little old... So yes, a bunch of us went out for chinese on our last night here. XD Mmm, chinese. And proof that Sky a) eats and b) eats dinner!

So, tonight is our last night here. Tomorrow, we all get to sleep in! Yay! We have to be out of here promptly at 2 pm, and have no classes on the last day, so I think that people will be sleeping til 12 at least. I don't know if I will be. I don't think I will, because I want time tomorrow to do computerly things, like check my email and what not. ( Unless the hotel has an internet connection, and then Sky will be among the happiest people on earth. )

HBP, TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT. ( OK, that's really Saturday, but I keep thinking of it as if it's tomorrow. ) I'm wearing my Slytherin shirt tomorrow for most of the day, and then I'm going to put on my Ravenclaw uniform. ( I would wear a Slytherin uniform, if I had the tie. Sadly though, I only own a Ravenclaw tie. So that's what I'm wearing. And then on Sunday, I'll be pirate-y. )

Er... there was totally something else I was going to say, but I don' remember what. So off I go!

Mwaha. I actually got sleep last night. THis is a good thing. Why? Because I will not sleep for more than three hours for the next two weeks. So I have some sleep stored up, Score.

Note: About the computer issue, thanks for helping me out guys, or... y'know... offering... I still have yet to figure anything out. As usual. -_-;;

I miss my iPod. *sniffles* But my parents are considering getting me a new one, and you know what my dad said as he handed me $100 for Alpha/Confluence? "You know what you should see here? One third of an iPod." My response: "...gee. Thanks."

Yay!

I have been here not even 12 hours, and I have already been completely soaked by the rain. That's PA for you, I guess. *snickers*

I think I'm going to like... shoot myself without my constant inflow of new music. It will all be old and I will not be able to deal and you all will laugh at me. A lot. And I will whine like the poor pathetic creature I am. Yup. That's how I see it all going down.

It's probably a good thing I already have a story idea. :D
