I'd post these to wtf_burando  if I was sure they hadn't been posted already. Seriously, Meta, these are OOGLY jsks! I know you were going for a Christmas theme, but I wouldn't even buy wrapping paper that looks like this.

 I think I proved my devotion to the art of RiffTrax last night. Went to the encore presentation for RiffTrax Live in absolute ass weather. That alone was awful. Having to walk through three feet of water to get to my car afterwards was even worse. Much of South Florida is flooded at the moment and it's still raining now. I've got nothing else, so enjoy Gaylord the dog. He comes with a bone of his own.

EDIT: Holy shit, LJ's new search is WEIRD.

In other news, got another article published. I'm always paranoid every time I get something published though. I'm so paranoid of making a mistake. I usually can't bring myself to read my own articles, which I guess can be likened to how a lot of authors don't read their own books or a lot of actors don't see their own movies. I know if I do I'll start to knitpick and freak out.

Anime Club picnic tomorrow. Not honestly sure if I'm going to go.

I doubt I'm very well liked around the group due to having been friends with the former officers, who are pretty much seen by the rest of the club as having been totally evil, soul-smashing totalitarians. Probably even more looked down upon for being the annoying voice of skepticism during the regime change. But even before the former vice-president, treasurer and secretary were declared to be villainous rapscallions I was never quite fully accepted. I've never been invited to the parties outside of club or to join along on convention trips. I wasn't even invited to the former president's wedding.

It probably says a lot that even among a group of people who've been labeled nerds and outcasts that I still manage to be an outcast. That's like being the stinkiest turd in the toilet or something.

It probably doesn't help that I'm still skeptical about whether or not the final outcome will be the best thing in the end. I guess we won't know until we start planning for our convention, but there's no denying that everything that's happened has put us at something of a disadvantage. A lot of the people who were most active in planning for it are gone now and we're left with a group of people who are going to be feeling around in the dark. And if they think other people who've been involved in planning in the past are going to step in and show them the ropes, well, I think they might be mistaken. Even if that does happen, it might just explode into diverging opinions on how the event should be run. But only time will tell, and I do think it's possible to overcome. After all, it had to have started at some point with people who had little to no experience with running a convention before.

I agree with the sentiments that maybe we've grown too big for the university, being that the majority of the most active members aren't students, but the sad truth is that without the club probably wouldn't exist and the convention wouldn't even be a possibility without any other source of funding.
