Excitement

[kestrell]

I just learned that my proposal for a Readercon presentation titled "Ask a Blind Person: What Good Writers Still Get Wrong about Blind People" was approved, hurray! This is the part where I start begging my friends and vague acquaintances to show up for my presentation so I won't be talking to an empty room, and yes, I would too notice!

Also, it is beginning to seem like I may actually really be getting a new right eyeball--I go to my ocularist on Monday, and I have already told LJ user alexx_kay that he is to take pictures of everything, including my ocularist's head exploding when I explain that I haven't changed my mind about wanting the mismatched Delirium eyes.

And I'm also looking forward to Monday because my sweetie will be back after five days at GDC. Of course, it will be a rainy Monday, and Alexx has never been very good at rainy Mondays--he has a rainy Monday face which is very close to his curmudgeon face, but a little lower on the adorable expressions spectrum. Oh well, a sleep-depped zombie sweetie is better than an on-the-other-side-of-the-country sweetie and I'll still be the only one with the detachable body parts.

Wow! In a further act of recursion, next time They decide to muck around with your eye sockets, you could get prosthetics imprinted with the picture of your ocularists' exploding head.

Do you get to do your ReaderCon presentation on your ownsome?

No, no, no, my ocularist has requested that his name not be mentioned in regard to any mismatched eyes, and I'm pretty certain that would include his face and/or head, exploding or not, which could be used to identify him.

I'm planning on the presentation being solo, as many Readercon presentations are, unless someone comes up to me and says, Oh, I know a lot about this subject and want to be in on discussing the subject, although I think this is unlikely.
