kippurbirdGoing down to Comic Con tomorrow. By myself. This is the first time I've ever done something like this. I'm very nervous and excited. It's a very normal adult thing to do. I've pretty much done everything by myself. Found a place to stay, registered, gotten my pass, got food to eat for lunches and dinners, planned stuff, written my paper.
I will be completely reliant on me. No one else.
Though I do know if something happens my parents are merely a phone call and two and a half hour's drive away.
Still, for an autistic person, this is a huge step.

Going it alone?
That's badass.

Date: 2010-07-21 08:13 am (UTC)I hope you have fun anyway! Try not to freak out too much. As a going-away gift, here is a quote I found in a book today. It's one of the very first ever copyright notices:
Hold! You crafty ones, strangers to work, and pilferers of other men's brains. Think not rashly to lay your thievish hands upon my works. Beware! Know you not that I have a grant from the most glorious Emperor Maximilian, that not one throughout the imperial dominion shall be allowed to print or sell fictitious imitations of these engravings? Listen! And bear in mind that if you do so, through spite or through covetuousness, not only will your goods be confiscated, but your bodies also placed in mortal danger.
~Albrecht Durer, 1511
They certainly don't write 'em like that anymore, and boy do I wish they still did.
