I always feel so tired the week after a con.

Holy shit I met Super Eyepatch Wolf at AN. I texted Ve immediately and she just replied "...who is that?"

Montreal Comic Arts Festival / Festival BD de Montréal

Montreal was so fun I spent all of Monday asleep in my coffin. I felt really at home, everyone at night dresses like vampires hahaha. But it's nice to get a long quiet and peaceful sleep after 3 nights away from home. I jump scared Ve on the way to the washroom, she said all day she thought she was home alone. I made a lot of noise coming up the stairs in the morning though! My hood slipped a little and I got a little burnt by the skylight in the stairwell. How could she have not heard me screaming? She says she's a heavy sleeper.

I got to talk to a bunch of other comics people about craft and shop stuff. It's so refreshing, I feel at cons all people ever want to talk to me about is the business like who's your manu, how much money did you make, and which cons are worth doing? I don't know man, Alibaba, an ok amount, and it depends?

MCAF is outside, but luckily it was cloudy almost every weekend, and I brought my new Nuit Atelier hood.

Wasn't too hot either, but it was windy and sand coated my table in this icky film. The locals told me it was construction dust and it was normal? They also weren't joking about the potholes in Montreal, I always figured i was a tough Toronto girl who's seen it all, but there was a pothole with a pothole INSIDE IT.

Anyways, now to get ready for AN hehe.

Going to Montreal Comic Arts Festival!

Haven't posted in awhile! Just packed up to go to MCAF. I'm dreading carrying these heavy suitcases down the stairs (I live on the third floor). While I was gone at Anime Ottawa the elevator decided to stop working so when I got back I had to carry all that luggage up the stairs. I had to do Calgary Expo too. Oh my god, while I was there it snowed, was April! I've gotten stronger since he's been gone, but isn't there some kinda law about accessibility regarding these things? It's been over a month and it hasn't been fixed!

New roommate had to move in too while the elevator was down. She was not happy. You won't believe who I'm living with now, it's a crazy coincidence, local Toronto celebrity crazy if you will. Haha, hope she doesn't find this blog.

Roommate Hunt

Just got off the phone with the EI lady, my unemployment insurance payouts end in April. After that I just have my income from con, luckily this year I managed to book an unholy amount of cons, including DASHCON TWO. Brap brap brap.

Landlord was up here last week, I always pay up on time so he says he trusts me but, I'm an idiot and showed him my bank statements and he says I have to find another body to help with the rent. Sometimes I wish I didn't have that fight with my last roommate but he was really draining me dry emotionally.

You'd think being on Bloor and Spadina renting this place out would be easy, but I put this place up on Craigslist and when people show up to take a look they're really turned off about the whole not having any windows thing. I don't know, I think it's a plus!

I wanna start using Tumblr more in 2026, I just feel so contained on other platforms.

I feel so jealous of the people who got to go to MCR. I’m not even a fan, I just want 🩸🩸🩸🩸
