Sad Weekend

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.

I do imagine it would be quite interesting to see the MLG in action. 'Tis a shame the way events panned out. You shouldn't have to require a companion to avoid harassment, but I suppose that's an unfortunate truth of the matter. Don't get too down about it, hopefully you can go to another MLG event or Quakecon or such sometime.

~Game on, Fsjal.
 
Yes, it's hard to get your heart set on something and it not go through as planned. I know the feeling of not having the finances to go alone. But hey, one time I drove to Las Vegas with very little money. I cleaned up in a laundry restroom, even asked the attendant if I could iron a shirt in the restroom and she agreed. I spent the night in a multilevel parking garage, it wasn't all that comfortable but at least I got some sleep.
 
hmm..sorry to hear that..hapend to me one time either...we were about to play call of duty..hahaha..really a bad day for me that day...
