I think that the reason I want to attend many conventions/events as possible next year is due to the following reasons:
1: I had to cancel my original plans, and I was super excited about spending a week in each city that I like.
2: I’d get to see new things or at least ones not available in Alaska.
3: As frustrated as I get by working with the public, I might actually enjoy socializing with people with interests similar to mine.
4: I’ve been busting my ass trying to shed fat, put on some muscle, getting used to contact lenses, and overall preparing to cosplay for the first time.
5: Live music.
6: This town I live in is less lively than an abandoned cemetery!
7: This is something that I never thought would happen, but…..I’m thinking about re-entering the dating scene. I gave up in 2010 due to prior experiences feeling just not worth it, but in the last few years (especially after my two trips to New Orleans and mutual flirtations with women I met), I’ve been feeling that spark return.
Yet more reasons I’m hoping that vaccine, treatments, etc help 2021 to be a vast improvement over the insult to dumpster fires that was 2020.
