Silly Ellen.

I'm such a dork.

I posted on a yahoogroups list about a convention I went to in 2000 that I lost my shirt at (well, about $1000....) in reply to a 'does this happen often?' query and now I feel terrible, 'cause the guys in charge were really nice about it, and I'd consider them friends. I didn't mention their names or the location, and I even tried to put a positive spin on things, but I still feel badly for dissing their con in public.

It was justified, it feels good to rant a little, I wasn't that accusatory, but I still feel like scum.

There is a Tanith Lee (I think) book about a prince who is cursed to be a raven an hour a day and his sister, who is cursed with being so nice it's silly. I really relate to that poor girl.

eh, I wouldn't worry.

Ah Ellen, I read your post on the group and I think you were rather nice about it, myself. ;) People have been worrying about the particulars of being stiffed in such a way, so any input and experience shared is welcome. Pretty much the purpose of the group and one of the reasons I've been on it ages.

So yes, no guilt and no second thoughts at all! ;)
