I'm not going to any conventions this year. I registered for AC for Adam's sake, but I cannot simply find myself excited/interested in it. To be honest, I'm a little tired of the fandom in general. I need to focus on other things, try to rediscover what I liked about it in the first place. Now, please understand that for me, fandom is separate from the people I have met and have been honored to have a least a little bit of a relationship with. I don't like these people -because- they were in the fandom but because I think they're pretty cool people. I'm a horrible friend because of my own shortcomings, yes, I'll freely admit that.

That said, it makes more sense for my spot to be taken up by someone who will appreciate it and take advantage for it fully. I know that there are already people in line to take over, so I'm happy about that. Also, it makes more sense considering the economic situation Adam and I are in. Its a lot cheaper if we only pay for one plane ticket and he splits the hotel and meal costs with other artists. Considering the time constrictions we have because of our jobs and the rising cost of gas, driving to and back is simply not an option.

Maybe next year, if I haven't given up completly.
