"We're grown-ups now, and it's our turn to decide what that means."

[enamoured]

This post was going to go much, much differently than originally planned.

And that is because I saw this.

Here's the thing: I have made a lot of progress on the "no shame in liking what I like" front, and I have been griping about not having been on a real vacation in forever to anyone who will listen. At the same time, around the start of July, my mom told me that my uncle's girlfriend invited us up for Labor Day weekend. Said uncle lives in the New York metro area. I also have a longtime friend who lives there too.

So, theoretically, I could have a place to stay should I go on this endeavor. There are but four flaws in the plan, and they are:

1. School will be back in session, and I'll miss (at the most) two days of classes,
2. $200 for the tickets to this thing, and that doesn't include
3. Airfaire.
4. I've never traveled on my own before.

BUT, since I could possibly be not-leaving on a Wednesday/Thursday, it might not be too terribly pricey if I look up tickets now or something, right? There's still the factor of finding a place to stay and having spending money, and, I mean, I have a little bit in savings.

And really, as far as fannish things go, this is much, much more feasible for me right now than Comic-Con. 

I just really want a vacation, y'all. And to meet my teen idols, okay? I JUST HATE SPENDING MONEY.

I may have gasped aloud at seeing that link. If only I lived in the area and/or had the money to go. Hot damn, I would be there in a heartbeat.

You should really look into it though! Things like that don't happen very often and it would be amazing.

I am seriously looking up ticket prices and trying to figure out the best way to convince my family that I should go, because I know people in the area and they will not let me be axe-murdered.
