go team venture!
Now comes the time to choose. Should I go to two Harry Potter conventions next year, or do one convention and one [other trip] that is To Be Announced... It's getting to be the first price hike for Leaky Con, and that would be the one I'd substitute.

In other news, I will be having a job interview at [major airline] soon. It's better pay than I make now, does not involve flying, and will give me and family free plane rides. That will be pretty much awesome. So here's hoping I get it and can complete this semester without scheduling conflict.


In other news, the hobo community user on computer number 1 smells heavily of mothballs and cologne. Or maybe it's some sort of mothball-scented cologne... Do they make that? What am I saying, of course they make that! Cologne, as far as I can tell, is intended to have an overpowering stench, so as to make women pass out. Thus immobilized, these ladies are easy to drag back to one's cave by their hair.
When I was very young I used to wonder why anyone would want to crush moths into a ball. Now I wonder why that's not how mothballs are made.

I'm planning to go to both cons next year, so I'll see you at one of them, at least.
Good luck with your interview. I hope you get that job!
LOL @ mothballs. Did you know that one of our traditional dishes is called Fishballs? Most Americans laugh when they hear of it ...

Mmm, fishballs. Anything can be made into a ball. Balls are a superior format for food.

So true. I prefer fish fillets to fishballs, though. And I don't think I want to eat a mothball. Xena, on the other hand, would enjoy the mothballs very much. I saw her catch and eat a moth, I'm sure she'd love a whole ball of them :-D

Yeah, I want to. If I get [major airline] job, I may be able to go to all three depending on time off rules.

You should definitely come to Azkatraz as that is the only con I'm going to. But I suppose the rest is up to you.

Good luck with the job interview. Which airline is it for?

Loves you, Sonia :)

Not going to say which airline in case I get it and want to complain in a public post without fear of them finding it.

Well, we'd love to have you here in Malfoy territory, but as I do not know of the other trip, I can't advise you.

I've always wondered why cologne is so stinky. I've never smelled a single one that was neutral or better.

But, then again, I have a strong sense of smell for chemical-y, perfume-y things. Even scented deodorant really gets to me.

AccioCon
I'm doing this in April. It's a Vampires VS Werewolves, Harry Potter VS Twilight. I'll be doing my first CosPlay and I'm quite excited. I am not sure who I will dress as but I know I could pull off a Slytherin, most definitely. I'd love to go to Azkatraz but I know i won't have the funds to do so. I am told that a Slytherin prefers either werewolves or vampires. I find myself attracted to both. Remus vs Cullen. Oh well. I'll definitely be at Infinitus in 2010. Check out AccioCon here: http://acciocon.com

Hmm, that's an annoying website, but the idea of a larp intrigues me.

Re: AccioCon
I'm not sure why you think the site is annoying but it seems I didn't make the cut and won't be considered for the cast. I was misinformed about the deadline to apply being told I had until the end of the year. When I wrote to tell them when I would be sending my photos very soon I was then informed that the cast was already in place and they wouldn't need me. I might still go as I am a fan of Wizard Rock and they have an awesome line up so far. I really want to go to Azkatraz but I don't think I will be able to afford it. Like I said though, I most definitely will be attending Infinitus in 2010.

I've honestly only smelled maybe ONE pleasant cologne. Ever. How sad is that? I agree with your theory.

Humm major airline...in atlanta... Airtran or Delta. I know they have reservation offices here. I actually almost considered getting one of those jobs but my mom talked me out of it. Trust me as an airline brat the perks are awesome but it can be a pain in the ass job. Either way good luck!

I'm not saying on my public blog which airline in case I get the job so that I don't have to worry about getting in trouble for talking about it. My current jobs are pains in the ass, so I figure at least this one will pay well.

Good luck with the airplane company job! Free airline rides sounds AMAZING. I definitely need that. For med school interviews and whatnot.

I say go for Azkatraz for sure. It's going to be so kickass. I would have loved to go to LeakyCon myself, but it conflicts with school. Why must they have it in May when a lot of people are still in school?

If I get the job, I probably won't take classes in spring, so I'd be good to go.

Mothballs: "Stay away from my clothes, or this will happen to you!"

Cologne: ... heckuvathing. Women have given me cologne. This either means a) They disagree with your theory, b) They're sheeple doing what they think they're supposed to, or c) I smell so bad that the horrific stench of cologne can only be an improvement.

Cologne is in fact made with eau de mothball. I try to breath through my mouth whenever around it :P

Also, I agree with [info]lord_harrymort you need to come to Azkatraz so Team Third Floor can be reunited! You know I can't live without those "THAT GUY" references :P

Anywho, what position are you applying to that gets you free plane tickets! I want it!! I kid, I kid, I should find something like that though. The commute from Puerto Rico to Canada and throw in Con plane money is making me poor.

Yeah, seriously, free plane rides would make everything fun easier and cheaper. Without plane tickets to worry about, I could go to a lot more cons because I could crash in a full hotel room for cheap.

It would be customer service, so it'll be equally as sucky as the clothing store.

Equally sucky for the fail, but at least you'll get discounts and stuff on plane tickets!!

*spams airlines' sites with own resume* =P
