i'm going to wiscon! i look somewhat like this, only i will have either shoulder length wet hair, or it will be up in a ponytail. i need a new picture of myself. oh, also, eight years older. seriously, i need a new picture.

i am a hugger. i like hugging people. if we have previously hugged, i am all for hugging again. if we have not previously hugged, please ask first. please beware that i am a stoic minnesotan from a long line of stoic minnesotans-- i seem to have body language that says "i would be most comfortable if you stood another six feet farther away from me" even when i am thinking about hugging people.

i am responsible for two departments at the con, which means that if you say hello that there is the off chance that i will say hello i have just been paged and am urgently on my way somewhere! if that is the case it is not that i don't want to talk, just that there is either a kid-issue or a party-issue that i have to go pay attention to right now.

i like eating meals with people. i will be carrying around my program book writing people's names in the meal slots.

i also have low blood sugar issues, which means that i am *not* up for the "it's a half hour into the dinner slot let's stand around in the lobby and see how many people we can gather and then spend fifteen minutes discussing where we're going" thing. i am a fan of planning these things out in advance; see above note about program book.

i will have a juggler with me. he is the quietest person i know, but funny.

i will talk for about sixteen hours in a row about my dog. ask to see pictures if you'd like to win my heart.

the adoption is going very very very slowly, and i am likely not up for talking about it much. if there is any big news, i will probably post something here on the adoption filter (let me know if you want on it).
