For those of you don’t know already I’m attending MegaCon 2012! And I’m going for two out of the three days (one of them I get to go for free)! I’m soo excited! It’s been a few years since I’ve been to a comic convention and now I’m going with a new perspective of it all. When I went to MegaCon the last two times, I went on Sunday (the last day) and I only spent a few hours there. I didn’t really know what to do or see, I bought comics and manga and plush toy the two times I went.
This though I’m going as published novice comic book writer-I wrote two stories-one for the Womanthology book (a four page story art by Kelly Turnbull coming out soon) & the other for the Womanthology Holiday PDF (art by Brenda Kirk). I’m going to be on the Womanthology panel with Kate Carelton, Sherri Rose, Rachel Pandich, Barbara Kesel, Jennifer Mercer, and Heather Royston (Saturday February 18th 1:40pm to 2:30pm Room 221C) which I’m excited about. Though I don’t have a clue as to what I will say-I’m just a novice trying to get my foot well my toes in the door-and well I’m also a little anti-social and have social phobia-I probably won’t talk much but I still be excited and grateful to be there. I’m also dressing up in my Wonder Woman inspired outfit/costume!
Okay now to the matter at hand: what does speed dating have to do with any of this? Well plenty! There’s a speed dating event taking place at the con two times on two days and I have signed up for one of the sessions. That’s right this anti-social, socially phobic lady geek with a mix of depression and anxiety is going to try this. Why? Because I’m curious and it would be nice to have a boyfriend.
I haven’t been on a date in a few years-because well I’m not really worrying about love, it’ll happen when it happens and it never does then life goes on and so do we…
What do I know about speed dating? Absolutely nothing except what I’ve seen on TV and the movies…and that’s basically what everyone else that I’ve asked knows about it too. Apparently the ladies sit down and the guys shuffle around every couple of minutes or so to talk to each lady…and that’s all I know about it…
For the speed dating at the con it’s going to be three minutes twenty-five times. As to who will be moving every three minutes-whether it’s the guys, or the ladies, the ladies, or both folks I’ll find out when I get there…
Well that’s all I can say about it now….
