this is not faiiiir, last year i got there at nine thirty and yet made better time

my body feels like one gigantic heatstroken sunburnt bruise

i know and understand the entire boyband cult marketing strategy and am aware i am just playing their evil psychological game by doing this, i wish i were ignorant since knowing just makes it more embarrassing

why can't we buy this crap on the internet as god intended

last year i swore i'd never do this EVER AGAIN EVER EVER EVER, venue-limiteds be damned, NEVER AGAIN, it was the worst experience i ever had as a fan. last year it took five hours and forty-five minutes

this year it took SIX hours and forty-five minutes and i got there at six-thirty in the morning this year, the ONLY reason i might rate it as a slight improvement was that this year at least i wasn't all alone and it was cloudy in the early morning (but i still got sunburned later on)

i don't see how anyone could do goods in the morning and go to the con in the evening at that venue, i was sooo wobbly on my feet getting out of there and felt sooo sick.

ugh and now I'm going to bed and not coming out for YEARS, I am so so so glad I am not going tomorrow so I can recover from this ;w;
