Truly, I used to fly to Japan with fewer lists and less anxiety than attends a train trip to New York. Mind, when I went to Japan I could see-- or rather, read maps-- with no difficulty. That may be what makes the difference. But I suffer a new and 21st century anxiety, which is that when I get there it'll all be so difficult and I won't speak the language. And yes, I'm talking about New York.

Otherwise, I keep mourning that no one here shares my fandom, and then mourning that other people elsewhere do share my fandom and oh how I wish they didn't.

o to be young again ... you're going on a trip? That will be something to look forward to. Lists or not. ^_^

and fandom has taken on a strange feel for me these days. Like a friend I used to know but not certain how to approach now. And every now and again I'll ask how they are.

But most likely it's other things that are just keeping me away.

New York for the weekend. By train, which is a different kind of stress than by plane.

For me, fandom needs to be domestic now: my FL, people I know. The big world Out There isn't my thing any more.

I'm currently in a state of pre-vacation anxiety myself. Sympathy.

In spite of doing it every year and in spite of how often one's done it, yes.

Yes, precisely.
