I want to know if there's a bigger one out there somewhere. Just so big it can look over the top of a two floor building.

Meh, I wish I didn't have such crippling anxiety about reaching out to jobs verbally. I know I really need to do it yet can't get myself over the finish line.

[ShiraNoMai]

You did it though! Should pat yourself on the back for at least that much. Better and better each time, practice makes for near perfect!

Anxiety sucks though. Wishing you could just figuratively turn that switch off so you can rationally handle things but when your brain is like "JSLKDFJALKDSJ;FADSFJDKFAK" it's hard to ignore. It's like a fire alarm that won't shut off.

What sucked for me was I rationally knew I should just do it and stuff, but I think just my fear of rejection and failure makes it hard for me to take the step. I did manage to call one of the Publix stores nearby today to see if they have any work for me, but the manager wasn't in again so I left my number this time so they can call me back.

I wonder if anyone here who plans to watch any of SGDQ will manage to catch Shira and I in the audience at any point next week.
Although funnily enough I'm more excited to go to the Mall of America just because of how big it'll be and seeing stuff like rollercoasters inside a mall just sounds so alien to me that I can't wait to see it for myself. XD

[ShiraNoMai]

I mean heck, there's a whole ass Legoland in there! I'm looking forward to the food options though more than anything at that mall; I saw some interesting things I'd like to try

[Mr EliteL]

Damn that sounds like such a fun trip. Have to look at what that mall looks like. I'll try and get a look in on the SGDQ stream and look for you two. Do you think you'll be checking just games you know about/played or will you sit and watch runs of random other games too?

What the heck?! XD I didn't think there would be a whole ass theme park in there too.

I expect we'll sit in on any games we don't know if we're not out anywhere else. Most likely in the mornings and evenings when we've only just got up or are winding down for the night before sleep.

[Mr EliteL]

Dude, just looking at the images at Google, although I haven't found Legoland yet, there's freaking rollercoasters in there and other rides like a theme park. Man I want to go there just for the atmosphere of people having fun. Also seen 4 floors for the mall, possibly more? Frick me there's a water park as well. How huge is this place to fit so much stuff in?

Why does this not look big enough?!

[Moonface]

I won't look at the images because I want to try and go in blind. I'll try to make a note of everything I see in there and share it here when I go. XD
A water park in a mall is just mental though. I can't even imagine thinking of taking a swimming outfit with me to a mall for the purpose of using it at the mall.

Just woke up from a short nap to try and not be dead by the evening. It took a lot to not just go to sleep for the rest of the day honestly.

Hows it going?

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hi Neb! How was your weekend?

My weekend was mostly spent working since I'm going on vacation for a week starting today. Currently on my way to the airport and should hopefully reach my destination in about six hours from now.

[ShiraNoMai]

An airport that's actually efficient and convenient? I dunno what happened to make this like this but I'm quite content: restrooms and food right next to the gate, and all the gates being next to each other in one big circle!

Looking forward to seeing all the sweaty nerds that await me at the other side

[Moonface]

Too bad it wasn't efficient when we landed though when it came to hotel transportation. A hotel that is packed with people this week who are mostly coming in around now, and the shuttle runs once an hour and holds like 12 people.

Flight was okay but I got a bad migraine from it so I'm not feeling too good. x.x

[ShiraNoMai]

Is Minnesota at a different elevation? I'm wondering if that's fucking us up. I had horrid sinus pressure in my eyebrows as we were descending, which I've never had before? It felt like someone was pinching my eyebrows really tight. >.<

That was pretty silly with the shuttles though. I've seen cons use full ass buses to shuttle guests to and from other hotels. This was a shuttle van. Incredible.

[Moonface]

Holy shit the Mall of America is insane and we've only seen the roller coaster area so far!

[Mr EliteL]

So that Mall can keep you busy when not watching SGDQ then, eh? I take when you went in you could barely see what was in there straight off, so a lot to venture about in there to see everything?
