Letter to God

Dear God,

I had a great time at the con today. I learned a lot about book marketing and took notes for my new novel ideas and saw authors whose books I'd loved since childhood.

I really like SF cons. People there are generally intelligent and well-read.

I would like to continue going to such functions without feeling paranoid, though. So, quit it with the creepy people already.

I thought the incident at Worldcon '01 was mildly disconcerting, but that was no one's fault. No one could've known he was a nudist.

But today's married guy with kids: "I don't want you to think I'm hitting on you. But what are you doing this evening?"

Not ok, God. Please stop.

If I am doing something to make people think I am an easy target for this kind of thing, help me figure out what it is.

If I am doing something to make halfway-sane, intelligent, kind people--the type with whom I would actually like to have a stable relationship--go out of their way to avoid me, help me figure out what that is, too.

I don't want to walk home again thinking I know how to use the keys that are in my hand. I will scream and go for the eyes.

Thank you.

Note to self: if inclined to attend a con, bring a companion.

A good measure to take. *snugs Eredien*
