Convention Day 2

So during the night we finally succeded in getting more prints at a light night CVS, later we stayed at Crowne hotel? It was cheap, so we were greatful for that, our hotel points reduced the cost greatly. We got the hotel in Miami so my brother and other siblings can rest for the night.

In the morning, I drove with my brother and younger siblings back to the convention to start the official opening day in artist alley. Since there were only 2 exhibit badges, and I was only let in yesterday due to the fluke of it not being open to the general public yet.

I thought that I could still maybe try to get in today since I still had my Move-In wrist ban and the convention wasn't open to the flood of attendance yet, but once I saw that security guard guy through the window, I knew it was over so I had to opt out unfortunately.

So we dropped off our younger siblings at the convention, and I said goodbye to them and that I love them.

It was very nice of them to send photos of the event and give me calls and updates.

I wish I could have been there with them today.

In my regret of losing my gambling winnings with more gambling, I saw a bus with a casino advert. Ugh, gosh. 

Also, some days ago before I lost like $350, I heard an employee in Walmart talking to a co-worker about betting $10K on black.

I think that kind of influenced me to get into some risky thinking.

Anyway, it's totally insane how I've turned $50 into $350, $200 into $470 and $100 into $355, only to lose nearly all of it when I needed it most. Gosh, I was so ahead. This is so ironic, I tried to make all this money to avoid not having enough money for this week.

I won't beat myself up too much, because my sister and youngest sibling was still able to attended, at least.

All I tried to do was make enough money to pay for enough tickets and hotel accommodations and stuff, but now I can't even pay my health insurance bill, lol. I'm so cursed.

Anyway, it seems like my younger siblings are having a blast at their convention and I'm honored that I was able to at least help them setup the table yesterday and order the prints.

There's another convention coming up in August, so hopefully I can use this as a learning experience and not unintentionally mess things up again in the future.

Also, when I was at McDonald's earlier today I tried to use the women's restroom but it was locked. I had to request the bathroom to be unlocked.

I didn't want to ask to unblock the bathroom. I was afraid that they'll misgender me and unlock the guy's bathroom, so I just held it in.

When I got my order, the McDonald's Lady was like order for Alan.

I was like, that's me.

The other McDonald's Lady said, that's her order.

I felt so awesome that they aknowledged me as a she.

Anyway, after that my brother took me to race trac to use the restroom.

At race trac the women's restroom was locked so I had to use the guy's restroom, ironically.

The toilet squirted water from a long distance when I flushed it before I used it. That was gross.

Anyway, I feel pretty optimistic about the next convention, hopefully redemption.

Because I still have in my mind my eldest sister asking a wig from me, and me saying yes and that'll order one.

Only to give up on it eventually when the reality sank in that I have ran out of money for extra tickets. I felt so bad and disgusted with myself for ruining everything, my gosh. This week was supposed to be perfect.

I had the money, but I guess I tried to make more and ended up failing brutally.

But, hopefully next time would prove better for us, me and we.

Thanks for reading!
