Pressure, argh, damnit.

I have been flailing about for a couple days at this point. I am in extended flailing mode. Not in a good way, either.

I have so much to do. I would list it out here, but that would be depressing for me, and boring for you.

I am also feeling so totally cranky and angry about everything, which is not my normal state of affairs. I've broken out the chocolate I planned to take with me on the trip, so that should tell you something.

I leave Friday, will be gone for 32 days to AZ. I return for a week, then I go to FL. I return for a week, then I go on my long cross-country trip. Then I return for a week, and then go to LA (PR, hooray!), and then I'm home for a couple weeks, and then I go to WI for three weeks, and then I'm home, and then I go to Prophecy, and then...

...I fall face down on the bed and sleep.

I have so much to do before I go. I have done far less than I hoped.

On top of this, I really am not caring for the moody crap, nor am I appreciative of the sudden tremendous drop in fannish self-esteem I seem to be experiencing. grrr.

No commiseration necessary. I feel better just having snarked to the universe.

I've only been to one HP con, Lumos (Click here for my summaries of Lumos (http://valis2.livejournal.com/tag/lumos)), and it was a blast. There is "programming" to attend, which is comprised of panels (3-6 or so people who talk about the subject back and forth), round tables (the participants talk about the subject with one person acting as mod), and presentations (1 or 1+ people give a presentation, or present a paper about a subject). The subjects are usually interesting, covering Snape's possible redemption, crack!fic, you name it. There were also feasts with presentations, a welcoming feast and a leaving feast, and a small room where you could buy HP merchandise.

There are lots of informal events, as well, where people put together small gatherings of like-minded fans (for example, Ron Weasley fan gatherings), or just meeting up with a good online friend.

If you're snupin-minded, snapes_patronus and I are setting up a snupin get-together, possibly. Check out the snupin_meetup for more details.
