I'm Going to Houston

[icemink]

Okay, just this morning, on the spur of the moment I decided I'm going to the Vulkon Slayer convention in Houston. I have my tickets and everything. Can I just say I'm terrified. Which is kind of funny. When I was in the Navy I traveled to both Hong Kong and Egypt completely on my own for vacations. Yet Houston which I've even been to before (heck I lived in Texas for four months once) scares me. It's actually probably fear of the money I just spent on plane tickets. I would have rather driven, but I just didn't have the time. Unfortunately even with flying I won't get there till Saturday afternoon. Not that many flights from Denver to Houston, and I couldn't leave Friday night.

Still I never do stuff like this. In fact the two vacations I listed above, are the only two vacations I've ever been on in my life (not that they don't count as great vacations). In my family we travel to visit other family members, we never just go places. So I'm excited, scared, have huge butterflies in my stomach, feel guilty about spending the money, and just can't seem to choose the right emoticon.

Okay I'll stop babbling now. In other news, I'm now on Spring Break so I should be able to finally get some more writing done.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fun. If nothing else I just need to get away from my life for a couple days. Not that my life is bad, but it's nice to be able to redefine yourself every now and then.

I'm sure you'll have a great time in Melbourne too. Heck, I'd love to go there just in general (of course since I'm not Australian it's a bit more exotic to me).
