Oooh! Yeah. I got a lot of worrying from everyone when I said I was going to D*Con, by myself, to meet people I didn't really know and stay with them, to boot.

So...I'd calmly explain that I was a little nervous, too, that I had known people for almost a year, that other people I'd knew vouched for my roommates, that if worse came to worst, I could always cry on someone's shoulder and they'd take me in out of pity, and that I would have my cell phone in case of emergencies. :-)

I want to meet up with you someday, too. Maybe next year, on my way to Spain? If that happens? Which...Spain! *feels pang of longing for Seville*

I'd love to take a look at the Terracotta Army or the treasure--I have a bad habit of missing the cool exibits when they come through town, and I don't know why. I always plan to see them...
