Missing Out

WHYYYYY?!

So I just go through my junk mail and find a newsletter on the Supanova event this year- and I find out that Teryl's going to be here which is just so cool because Janet rules and is the coolest doctor that SG-1 ever had and the writers were so stupid for ditching her when they could never find anyone with a fraction of her warmth and compassion and chemistry with the others. 

And then I find out it's being held this coming weekend. And there's NO way I can organize my way up there this quickly. I have permission to do the Chris Judge evening *next* month, and I had to organize it *last* month to make sure my parents were on board with it, if that gives an indication as to how much planning goes into these things to get the green light from them. So the proposal of a last-minute dash up to see Teryl is not going to go down well. Not to mention we have a family thing over the weekend anyway. There's just not enough time to call people and find out which day Teryl's going to be there [it's a three day event], to get times and info on whether she's just talking or doing photos and autographs or whatever, to organize transport up there, to get someone to go with me because I get lost after two seconds in the city, to beg and compromise and make deals with my parents to let me *go*...

Janet. *whimpers* So not fair.

Try...

Oh you MUST talk your parents into letting you go! It would be so amazing to meet Teryl, and just the whole experience -- I can't even imagine. Tell your parents that you going into the city would be challenging, and therefore life-afirming and confidence-bolstering. Finish with: "and Amanda said I HAVE to."

Nope, didn't work out. It wasn't the best timing, my parents are stressed out of their minds trying to work out the house/land stuff and talk to bank people about loans and all the rest of it. So glad I'm not involved. *shudders* I'm only interested when the house is actually built and I can put up posters in my room, lol.

Also, Katherine, the sci-fi friend I usually go to these things with, had her anniversary this weekend, I believe [it's only been a year, but it's an achievement for teens these days] and seeing Teryl doesn't match up to a romantic occasion with her boyfriend, unbelievably. *rolls eyes*

I'm trying to block the whole thing out and just focus on Chris Judge on April 23rd! Although you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to choken down the resentment that I'm stuck at home, working on an essay due tomorrow... XP
