Things... and Bronycon. · 4:09am Jul 25th, 2013
Well, my dad's mom passed away before I could get home and visit her. It's sad, yes, but at the moment it's also so very distant. She's gone, but it's just kind of a thing that's in the background of my life at the moment. I'm sure it'll hit me at the memorial like it did earlier this year when at my mom's mom's memorial. Because of this I've had to reschedule my vacation and related flights. It sucks, and it cost a lot of money. And I've never been so glad to have opted for the travel insurance.
I just wish I'd gotten to see her one last time once we'd realized that her time was close.
But now I have another decision. Suddenly I'll be around for the first weekend in August and Baltimore is only about two hours away - chump change when it comes to distance driving. Do I take advantage of this and go? Do I save the money and maybe miss a golden opportunity for a major MLP con? I can't stop thinking about the massive amounts of pony goodness that will be right over there...
Who all may/may not be there?!
First thing's first: I'm terribly sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
As much as I would love to go (only to stand around for a few hours, realizing I could have used the plane ticket money to buy a gun instead), I will not be attending. Sadly, I'm not as big into the fandom as those who will be attending are. Although shaking the hand of best pony (if she's even there) would be nice, I'll just have to settle on re-watching episodes, and attempt to fulfill my fantasies about my marshmallow waifu.
