I just decided a week ago that i'm actually going to go this year. With music business taking up so much time I thought I may have had to miss, but my NDK combo will be going strong for it's eighth year!
So there won't be a C-C-C-Combo Breaker this year? Hoorah!

Today we're gonna go get minor little things for the NDK... like glow sticks. :B But after that, BRING IT ON~!

Just a reminder this thread is not about what you need to get for con or whether or not you are coming.  Please stay on topic to whether you are getting the "last-minute con panic" or not.

I'm usually pretty good about not getting anxious or overly hyper until a day or two before the Con, but mostly because I'm a horrible procrastonist and I've gotten used to being calm and then exloding like 8x more later.

However my subconscious likes to give me anxiety Dreams about NDK. I've had like 4, the first being like... a month ago. Most consisting of Not having things done or forgetting something or being attacked at the con.  Am I the only one who gets NDK Anxiety Dreams?

Nope.  I'm right there with you!

Breath, Multi, breath! :uses a potion and a tranquilizer(from Final Fantasy 7) on Multi: You'll make it.

(pant pant pant) Thanks. I needed that. (flops onto the floor) I actually feel slightly better in reality now, for some reason, but I bet that's gonna change later. XD

It's definitely starting to amp up for me... even though I've got 6 previous cons under my belt, I'm still getting a little freaked out(is my costume packed? Do I have my id, my psp, etc? Do I have my pillow?). Pre-con panic happens, and I've definitely had another dream where I had some anxiety about the con(though I can't remember much about it). Still can't wait, though.

My digital camera decided to be a butt and completely stop working. It has been psyching me out whether it works or not for months - it had juice spilled on it last year - and right now, just before NDK it decides to stop working entirely. Awesome. D;

I still don't have my actualy costume and I need to style my wig and get my car and repaint my shoes... hfkiajhgrkjgrlgt

In other words, I'm really excited for next week.

I just had another minor freakout. One of my buddies gave me a Look over AIM and reminded me not to bounce around in the chair so much; I might accidentally sit on my cat. XD (Well, it's my cat's fault for leaving me a lousy eighth of the chair to sit on.)

Does anyone else feel guilty about leaving their pets as well as get last-minute con panic?

Guilty for leaving my pets? Ha! I left them for 7 days when I went to Anime Expo, they can surely live without me for 3 for this convention! Now I'm not a animal abuser (I had my parents check in on them while I was gone), I love my cats, but they can deal with my weekend fun every once in a while.

As for last minute con panic, its sorta kicking in....costume is starting to kill my budget, grr..

I take it your cats aren't the vengeful type. XD My parents are gonna look after my cat too, but I'm worried about he might express his unhappiness with bodily functions. That almost happened to a pair of my shorts once.


Four days to go, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Here I am, like 3-4 days away and I still don't have my glasses for Kyoya. Or my tape for Lee. I'm FREAKING out. And eating a lot...-.- And I have to get into tiny green pants. D: I've been freaking out for monthes. Even now I'm biting my lips and ready to die. x.x

Definitely getting a little bit more excited; I was watching the intro for "The Simpsons", and I just started squeeing out of nowhere... all I gotta do is get my paycheck, talk to my new boss, let them know I'm gonna be available next week(after NDK), and that the only plans I'm really gonna have are for meet-ups and NDK NYE 2010.

Freaky part? I had a dream this morning with Keiki and a friend of hers, and they were making out and we were running around con and people were sitting on the floor(along with some of the con guests) playing Magic The Gathering.

It's definitely full out "last minute con panic" now - it's so close! D;

I was snipping my wig's bangs to fix a teeny thing and I almost ruined it forever. That scared me.

This is my first year running panels and I decided to take on three. I've been freaking out for the last month! One would think that would help me get things done but I still have things to do...
