So I've been in a bit of a down state the past week. As some gamers know MLG is an event that happens a few times a year. This weekend starting this morning was the beginning of MLG Anaheim. I was supposed to go but unforeseen circumstances changed that.
Originally I had no desire to go. I like these kind of events but rarely go seeing as how I do not enjoy going alone and I did not really have anyone who would have wanted to go with me at the time. I have gone to Animecon before during my teenage years, and the harassment you receive as a female can ruin it if you are not with friends. About two weeks ago my friend Lauren whom I have not seen in about five years asked me if I was going to go. After discussing prices for admission, food, and lodging, I agreed to go.
After agreeing to go, I became very excited and looked forward to it quite a bit. I contacted many people who I often play games with and made plans to meet some over the course of the event. There was one guy in particular that I really wanted to meet up with. We had planned to meet up the first day and he and his friend would hang out with us over the weekend.
Unfortunately My friend had to cancel on me due to some family circumstances. I understood as it was not her fault and the situation was unavoidable. However I could not afford a hotel room on my own along with the other expenses so my plans were put to a halt as well.
While I am not bitter towards Lauren at all I cant help getting upset that it was brought up to me for me to get so excited about. Also the guy I was going to meet sending me texts like "I wish you were here" with pictures of him with some of my favorite League of Legend players, is not helping my situation either. I can feel myself getting resentful towards him as well even though I know he means well.
Ugh at least I can see the tournament games from my computer. If my team wins then maybe it wont be a total loss of a weekend :frown1:. Just going to do my best to keep my mood up.
