Ah, the glory of the Nerd Prom Marscon.
Hauled the girls up there. For a smaller con, they really take excellent care of their guests. Chatted with some of the other web comics folks. Made a few good contacts. Nearly decked a guy for being a snot.
Took the girls with me too, and they looked all over the place wondering where in the hell I'd brought them this time. Wish I had a picture of the guy in the Darth Vader suit tickling Nicole's chin. Quite the surreal moment.
My sole moment of cleverness was pushing the stroller past a bunch of guys in Storm Trooper get-ups and waving my hand in front of them. "These are not the rugrats you're looking for." And then rolling on. Apparently, this passed as hilarious.
I'm wondering when I fell off the Nerd Train? I used to be able to geek it up with the best of them. Now I'm looking at all this stuff that the con-goers are just drooling over and I've got not a single clue about any of it.
Neither did Chris which led us to wonder, if we've fallen off the nerd train somewhere, does this somehow make us cool? I mean when we think of going to a con our first thoughts aren't "what are we going to dress up as?" We were probably the least freaky looking people there that weren't actually working. So, we're off the Nerd train, and yet could care less about what is "hot" or "popular". I don't think we're qualified enough to be "hip". It's like some sort of weird limbo.

I am officially in Miami! Aventura, to be specific, better known as "Southern Manhattan". xp I'm a block away from Kosher Kingdom's Grocer, and you should hear the accents. I thought I was going to shake the sound of Jersey, but it seems this is not to be.

Chris Powell I'd like to hear the story of how you almost committed some physical violence, please? 3nodding Not much of a story. Me and Chris are chatting up our comic and Chris is showing his art, and the guys at 2wcOnline.net are pretty interested. Offered him a gig. Anyways, he's telling them what our comic's about and some a** hat chimes in real snotty like with "That's not very original?" Then I chime in. "Who the hell are you?" He starts to tell me and I cut him off. "And what makes you think you can go around dissing other people's work?" "Well, who are you?" He askes kinda taken aback by the fact someone's got the stones in that place not to take s**t. "I'm the guy who created the story." I glared at him with my 'yes, I know I can dismantle you' stare. "You want to judge me? Where's your work? C'mon, whip it out?" This amused a few people, but the guy went with the whole I don't have to prove anthing to anybody stance. If that was the case, he'd have kept his mouth shut to begin with. He didn't say a whole lot after that, likely because whenever he looked like he was gonna open his yap, I shot him a stink eye.

Actually, barring the move into the new place (which is looking good, the mom thinks she's found THE ONE) this is officially home sweet home. I don't hafta drive anymore, yaaaaaay! 4laugh
We shall see how I adjust to Florida living. I may hafta get a night job, it's JANUARY and the night-weather is perfect. I'm going to die of heat in the summer's daytime. gonk
This makes my eleventh move. :B Twelve, if you count living in dorms for one year.

Jaeger_Ayers Three moves is worse than a fire. Dude, you haven't lived until you spend three months in a hotel because of a kitchen fire. Twice. eek I wish I could say "Hey, Hellboy, let's get coffee! I'll be in Florida in February," but unfortunately I did not have the money nor did I get the time off to go. emo Have fun down there.

SO I just got into my first auto accident. I got nailed from behind and skidded into the car in front of me while stopping. The car that bhit me started to pull, over, I pulled over, and the car sat in the far lane, glancing at me, then back at the light. I got out of my car to go take its liscence plate but the light turned green and the b*****d bolted.
since he hit me while we were both in motion the back of my car looks fine, but the car in front of me was slowed down just enough for my headlights to be crushed. There was barely enough evidence to get it marked as a hit and run. I'm out one car, but still thankful it happened to me. If I wasn't there as a cushion, the little girl in the back seat of the car I hit might have gotten hurt by getting hit a LOT harder.
Still sucks though. I have no money saved up and I want to start school again next quarter. In the meantime being able to visit my girlfriend would be nice...

Insurence, brother. That's what it's there for. Your rates shouldn't go up since you were the one who got hit.
I hope you gave a description of the car that started this to the police.

I fliped my Honda a few years ago ten feet into the woods. causing all of my Magic cards to be spread around the forest and some of my comics to be crushed. crying Not to mention my trunk was mashed in half and the dvd's i had there were scrached beyond repair. Do you have a friend that can drive you around while you're saving? Or possibly a public transpertation?

I hope you gave a description of the car that started this to the police. *nods* your insurence will go up but you'll get the money for how much the car was worth to put towards a new car. Oh that reminds me. Your insurence might give you a rental aswell. Some of them will do that.
