Anyone else have an irrational need to be early for stuff?
No?
Oh.
Have you never noticed my tendency to be sat alone in an empty convention hall at 8am?
no, because I have an irrational fear that no one will show up to my panels. So if *I* show up early, then I have to sit there and count the time till when ppl are SUPPOSED to come, and then i convince myself no one is going to show up, possibly not even the other panelists, and thenm I will be a failure at conventioning and everyone will know that *I* was the panel no one showed up to… so, y’know, I just rush in right at the time it is supposed to start cos it saves me the mental anguish of picturing an empty ballroom for untold minutes.
