i cant hope to drive soon, i havent gotten my permit yet and i dont really anticipate to. my brother got his permit at 16 and then finally got his license just 3 months before he turned 18. and hes not allowed to drive on freeways, so i have to find a way around that if i drive. then my parents have to trust my friend to drive me which will require like 10 months. like i wanted to take part in the sketbook tour but if my parents saw me getting mail from someone they didnt know theyd freak out.

Wow, that would drive me crazy, I got my license like 10 days after I turned 16, and got a car like 20 after that.

Not even having my permit yet would make me sick to my stomach, I drive everyday, and have been for like 10 months.

I think this thread was sad from the first post up. Sad, pathetic, and devoid of human law. What are you going as? Dumbledore and Potter?

why do you let your mom run your life :P?

Are you an only child or something? Anyways thats kinda fucked up though, you have such an outgoing personality and to have it sheltered in or whatever is kinda a shame.

Anywho, i think you should go, you dont HAVE to tell them youre going because yuo are gonna meet ng users.. its a comic con.. 95% of it has nothing to with NG or anything, i seriously doubt that they would make the correlation that thats what you went for unless you said so.

You gotta know how to work your parents man, every kid growing up figures out angles and things they can do to steer their folks to do their bidding.... omg if my mother is reading this post im in such deep shit.

Scratch me off the list. Summer school is kicking my ass and they won't let me off.

But your 20...?

Anyway, hash, your parents need to know they can trust you... Need to prove it somehow...

You were just looking for an excuse... besides most everyone will be there on saturday i hear.

well the biggest problem is that id have to convince my parents to drive (according to mapquest)

Total Est. Distance: 415.89 miles

Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 21 minutes

ive asked them if thy would drive me to san fran before, (but didnt say stuf about comic con) and they said it was way too far away and its an 8 hour drive.

A C and you have to go to summer skool O.o...

I failed 2 classes, just a D in another one and I'm not in summer skool...

Yeah, I feel what you're saying hash, my mom was the strictest person ever, then I just kinda rebelled and she gave up on me, kinda feel bad now bout it but I'm more free than I was :D...

Anyway, I wish I could go out to comic-con, maybe next year when I can drive :D...

dont you have to make up the credits, or are you just going to take the class again

Well, one was art, the other was biology..

Art doesnt matter since it was 1 cred and an elective at that, most highskoolers end up with like 5 extra creds...

Bio, I need to make up next year, my teacher lost my state required labortory activity, so i wasn't eligible to take the exam, so that one wasn't even my fault...

Isn't Wade going? Or is he staying behind to look after Sherbert?

Guh. This is a basic illustration depicting why I cannot go to Comic-Con. >:U

I have people sending me more frownie faces then I have ever received in my life, so let me illustrate my problems as short as possible.

I hate school. God I hate it, but I should do it because I feel its very beneficial. So the past three years, I have been taken maximum units (20-21 per 10 week quarter) to graduate early. This is on top of having a full time job in Flash and a full time job in a secondary job, which usually concerns a protein synthesis lab or a tutoring Adobe products job. Overall, I probably work a good 60 hours a week on top of over a full time school schedule, and I work it in both Summer and year round (I have to pay for college because my mom doesn't want to, another story).

So at the end of Spring, I was supposed to graduate. However, due to a magnificent screw up, I now have to take two writing courses, a workshop in Flash, and a scuba diving class to graduate and get on with life. These classes are pretty hard work, I have a 3-6 page paper due in each every other day.

So when it comes down to "hey, lets go to Comic Con!" I look at my calendar, which tells me I have two final exams that weekend for Scuba Diving, and the additional problem of an 18 hour waiting period to decompress from Nitrogen Narcosis post-dive. I also have a flurry of assignments due in the coming week.

Welcome to my life. Woo. Thank God school is over in three weeks, then I get to make my graduation thread.

I'm actually speechless here. Why do you have to do Scuba diving at at school?

That story made me unhappy. I'm sorry for you :(

Comic-Con sounds really good, but I haven't really found any place that tells you what it really is, anyone got a link?

If I wouldn't need to hide my face for fear of being seen anywhere near comic con I'd go =P...

I'm up in Palo Alto with a couple friends that week anyway, I'd end up stopping by if it wasn't for that...

People dressed up as things they're not also scares the fuck out of me... I end up thinking everyone there is insane.

You could have read the FIRST POST...

Comic Con

I just can not describe how I would feel surrounded by strangers dressed up as various things. Haha. Uncomfortable just scratches the surface.... I could probably do it if I had my friend with me, but she's mad at me and wouldn't go anyway. ='[

Comic con is comin up quick, its next week :)

Anyway I'm gonna talk to BomToons this week and see if i can arrange some sort of lunch or something, theres some cool places in the gaslamp quarter..
for anyone coming, what day are you gonna be around anyway? Im thinking saturday would work out best.. that way if you came out on friday you could decide we are much too uncool for you to hang out with and you can just not show up the next day or whatever... i dunno

if you dont feel like announcing it here you can just pm me.. also pm me for the cell.. I will say that comic con is alot more fun when you are over 21.. but yea

OH UR IN MINESSOTA HAHA, i totally missed that, sorry, tought you were australian or something... being at the oposite side of san diego in the globe and uhh... just forget it :/

Pfft... I'd much rather have those sexy accents than go to comic con.

Since i no longer have my business number on my site i figure i'd spam this thread with it.. if anyone going to comic con just MUST know where everyone is, you can call the hotline:
seven o three - eight six three - o eight six four.

umm anything planned already?

well i heard everyone was planning to go and watch simpsons movie on friday after the con.
