I swear that felt like the shortest convention ever. It seemed over in a blink of an eye. It’s all just a blur, like I lost time. Maybe I was abducted by aliens and didn’t notice! LOL

I’m afraid I will probably inflict pics from today’s con on you tomorrow. Assuming any look okay. Don’t worry, I will confine it to one posts.

Lovely. Just as I’m trying to get to sleep, I see a bunch of posts hating on something I not only like but have a bit of in my collection. It…irks me. Like if you hate them fine, but really wish people wouldn’t bash anyone that likes it.

Look, I get it. Funko Pops aren’t cool, and they aren’t high art, and in some cases they can be boring, but they were the last collectible figure type thing I could afford and they offered me characters I couldn’t get anywhere else. And you know what? Even though I had to stop buying even them a while ago the ones I have make me happy.

Honestly, I don’t get it. Even as a kid I thought Bert collecting paper clips and bottle caps was cool since it made him happy. I didn’t bash beanie baby or pog (pogs??? Fads are strange) collectors back in the day, well, unless they saw them as “investments”. TBH I think anyone that collects anything as an investment might as well just take up gambling. But if you collect a thing because you like it I don’t care what it is.

My thinking is, if it makes you happy, you don’t spend more than you can afford to, it’s legally obtained, and you don’t expect to make a profit then it’s all good. Even the things I personally have zero interest in, find stupid, or even ugly.

It occurs to me that the way some people wear things that warn of allergies or medical conditions in case of emergency, I should wear something that says “Feed my animals!”

While it wouldn’t make any difference if I drop dead at home, where I wonder how many weeks it would take anyone to find my body anyway, if I get into a car accident or keel over out shopping it could save the life of my beasties.

Well, I guess I’ve decided. When I go to the convention tomorrow I’ll be wearing this shirt and will wear all my pins on the strap of the cross body type bag** .

Fingers crossed I don’t break or lose any of the pins. I’m a bit worried about that, but since I made them to wear at the con I’ll risk it. The sensible thing would to pick just one to wear, but that would mean I’d have to decide on either a favorite or one that seems most durable. Too bad I see them as about equal. I don’t have the energy to worry about that when I have to worry about money and the drive and making myself halfway presentable. If I had someone to show them to and ask what they,,..

Oh, I could have done a poll! Too late to think of it. Ah well, maybe they will survive unscathed.

Anyway, if you go to the Greenville NC comic con*** and you see a woman in that shirt, slightly too tight and the image obscured by a bag strap with a horde of dragons pinned to it….that’s me!

**Funny about the bag. It’s this ugly canvas thing that’s been hanging on the gun rack for so many years I stopped seeing it. It was certainly more than ten years. It looks like military surplus, but it was actually a purse from Walmart and still had the tag from when one of us bought it on clearance for $3. I guess it looked like it might be useful for carrying….I dunno, a camera or something. But there it hung, collecting dust and spiders, until I made these pins. I spent ages rummaging for something, and then I realized I had this hanging there the whole time. TBH it’s awful as a purse, but it’s perfect for pin display.

***You won’t. What I mean is, I’m fairly certain that even the very few followers I have in North Carolina live in other parts of the state. They have more options of cons, with celebrity guests and all, so I can’t see them heading our way. And 99% of you that make up the rest live a LOT further off!
