>MFW Trump killed AX and Comic Con

>Go to ALA
>No one talks to me

>Have eye on something for a while but it's sold out
>Saving up money to buy myself a computer
>Almost saved up budget for computer
>Thing comes back in stock
>Trying my absolute fucking hardest to not purchase the item
Jesus christ, I have such little self-control. But I just know that if I don't buy it now, it'll just appear on secondhand markets later probably at a higher price than what it originally sells for. I'll most likely end up not buying it, but it hurts.

Multiple feels here.

First:
>Still kind of new
>Have 2 AP OP's, one AP JSK, one Taobao OP.
>Already made dress wishlist
>Two wishlist items up for sale right now
>But haven't even gotten full sets for the dresses I currently have
>Set of accessories, shoes etc coming for the taobao dress and the jsk that I have at the end of the month
>My two AP OP's have complicated pattern/prints that I really want to nail because one of them is my dream dress and I have high standards
>Can't find anything that matches/lives up to my standards for these two dresses
>They sit in my closet all day because I don't have full outfits for them
>Sad feel

Second:
>Don't have proper full length mirror in house
>Full length mirror I do have is very narrow, can't see the full scope/shape of dream dress with poof when I put on my petticoat
>Looks awkward in the mirror
>Try to figure out what's wrong
>Spend 30 minutes trying to determine whether I have boob loaf, wrong body shape, cursed with wide ribs, too short, too tall
>Compare pictures of others in dress on instagram to how I look in the dress
>Get idea
>Stand in front of window and set lighting just right in order to be able to see dress to full extent
>The poof actually looks fine, great even, and it was just the shitty narrow mirror that made it look odd
>Relief but also frustration

Third feel:
>Trying to branch out hobbies/interests
>Want to build my own computer and save up money to buy it
>Two wishlist dresses for sale right now
>Also want to really start taking care of my skin for the first time in my life (I'm 20), so delve into korean skincare routines/products
>Saved up a decent sum of money over the past few months
>Not enough money to invest in all three of these things
>Can't/don't know which one to invest my money in first
>Dresses could go any day now
>But if I spend the money now it will take more time to save to buy parts for computer
>I'm also not getting any younger
>Not sure what do
>Conflict

At least I get to vent

>Looking for shoes to match in my coord
>Many shoes that look alike that I can match in my coord
>Look at cheap version of the shoes, not in the colour I want
>Look at slightly more expensive shoes, not in my size
>Look at expensive shoes, have my size but the colour is slightly off

It's posts like these that make me wish I had friends. I know they're all kinda 'horror stories' but it'd be nice to have moments like these.

The picky friend who only eats from certain places and needs a special late-night adventure from the hotel to some obscure place to get food. The crazy friend who terrorizes some poor Japanese guest with their intense fandom. The 'cosplay anything' friend who doesn't give a shit and will cause untold commotion to event staff with a hugely impractical prop or costume.

Standing in line at someplace you never wanted to be making jokes about something or seeing some crazy shit while a friend waits for an meet and greet. Missing the last train home and being stuck out somewhere because a friend lost their ticket. Hearing everyone's crazy views and opinions and stories at inappropriate times.

It all sounds so golden. I wish I had friends.

Forgot to submit my event for Ame. Yet to even decide on cosplay. Don't even know what friend group I'm going to hang out with/will accept me.

Please tell me I'm not alone.
