Well that was a fucking rollercoaster of a convention, and I wanted to get off Mr. Bone's Wild Ride the entire time. To quickly go over the Dealer's Den stuff, it went way better than past years. Actual on-site sales were about the same as usual for this con, so decent; but I also got one, possibly two kigu comms, so that's a nice change. I sold out on big cheese wheels, though weirdly melons didn't sell as well this year as previous ones. Anyways, actual con stuff. As usual, stagecon tm be stagecon, loud. I dropped my tablet and had to buy a replacement :( Some dumbass fucking livestreamed in the fursuit lounge, which escalated into them getting trespassed and the police getting called. (lmfao) Saw the guy who bought the birb partial, I'm glad he's happy with it. I ate a "fun" brownie... it did absolutely nothing, maybe increased my pain tolerance a bit? eh. Derresh and I had some "fun" emotional annoyances due to a certain nosy person. (No I'm not going to explain any further than that.) And the usual staff melodrama continues weeeeee.... Thank fuck I'm back home, honestly. I'm looking much more forward to Camp Drakewood, that will actually be a chill time.

   Not dead, just hibernating, as depression havers tend to do. So um... Derresh and I bought a house! I know, in this economy? But like always, there is a catch. Yes, the place was dirt cheap, and the land it's on is huge and has a pond with frogs in it!! That being said, the place is/was a literal dump. No, seriously. It was an ex-hoarder house, and the place was just completely gutted after the previous owner died. The house itself and all the plants were just left there for over a year after that to rot as the inheritence sorted out the ownership of the place, and then the new owners squabbled about how much to sell it for. So now Derresh haggled it down to a more reasonable price, given the state of the place, and we've been working our asses off renovating it, tearing off the old drywall and wooden paneling and all that. It's a shitton of work. Not to mention the yard is an absolute jungle with some really nasty plants growing in it that have huge taproots I have to dig super deep to get out. Thankfully the ground is pretty soft so digging is relatively easy. We'll probably be able to move in in like... August-September or something, though that doesn't mean the work will be done by then. That's just the point where we have bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, maybe even not a kitchen.
   So, as for the rest of the year of backlog... Honestly, not much happened, shocking, I know. I meant to write an update after EAST last year, but um, some shit went down that I wanted to see the end of, but the shit has been going down for THIS long. Yes, really. Basically without going into too much detail that might get too personal, (to the people involved, not me personally,) the secu department (which Derresh is part of) did a little revolt because the management was absolutely garbage. As a result, a lot of people got banned/shadowbanned, HOWEVER, contractually that was um, kinda not enforceable, since the person that could do that was one of the ones getting kicked, lol. Anyways, lots of waiting and people being dumb later, turns out the staff have no fucking clue what they're doing and beg the old secu people to come back. But there's a major problem with that. None of us reg'd for EAST because why would we after being treated like shit? So basically they don't have the fucking balls to apologise publically, and a compromise is made where they kiss secu's collective ass instead. (I thought that was pretty fucking stupid, just apologise and own up to your fuckup.) So secu people are back, but again, a problem, we didn't reg, so they have to jam us in somewhere, not our problem, lmao. Also part of the reparations was that I and the spouse of another secu person got into dealer's den, which is why this is relevant to me. So um, that's a long story to say I'll be at EAST this year, and I'll also be on Dealer's Den! (Oh right... I forgot to mention DD last year...)
   So, Dealer's Den on EAST last year... It's not a big story or anything, but me not getting in was quite a large factor in the whole, fuck this con, I'm out dealio above. Basically the guy that picks who gets in didn't know who I was and I didn't get picked, which essentially made the whole con kinda useless for me. SO I BECAME THE TRAVELLING CHEESE SALESMAN! Yes, I went around the con with a pocket full of cheese (also some eggs,) and sold it around the con. I sold so much goddamn cheese lmao, this meme is so dumb, it's great. Basically in the aftermath, again, no apology (of couse, because taking accountability for your fuckups is sooo haaaard, ffs), but they learned who I was at least, and they know exactly who they pissed off by doing that. *cough* Derresh *cough* So yeah, I'm in again this year, Dunno how they squeezed me in there, but not my fuckin' problem, lol. So all of that being the case, we (we being Derresh, a few others and I), are now the villans of the con, (at least according to some of the staff) and we are happy to be so. :)

So I turned 30 on March 30th, I guess it's somewhat surprising that I managed to survive till now. Not much to say about it other than that, I certainly don't feel 30, I feel like I have no idea how to adult still. Been extremely tired lately, I think because I've been taking the medication that allows me to sleep a lot lately. So, fuck? Not much I can do about it other than stop taking it for a while and let my sleep schedule go to shit. Still waiting on stuff to be done for my headbase mold testing, but it's almost there I think.
