I felt that I spent more money on other people more than I did of myself. But, I did buy a few novels, a doujinshi I'd been looking for (only got part one, but oh well), an Edo pillow, and a few keychains/backpack clips.

[Sunara Ishi]

Saber plushie

I am in envy. I didn't see one!

How didn't you? They still had one on the last day. O.o?
It was at anime palace. (The 1st row of booths at the back.)

[mDuo13]

I must have just walked straight past them! Man, I feel like I missed out, now, after seeing what everyone got!

[-zoxan-]

I got a Japanese hoody that said "Now Accepting Applications For Japanese Girlfriend",an Inuyasha Figurine,A Robotech transformer,A Ghost Files shirt for my li'l cousin, Ryouchi Koga's Ninin Ga Shinobuden. That would be 25+15+10 = $50. And quite a lot of money in the Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune Arcade stage. Started from scratch and I have a BNR34 with 600HP. And no,I distributed most of the points evenly.I just have two more blocks more of power. Yeah Arcade would be around $30.

[ryoji.kun]

This year I went with the usual idiotic mistake I always make.

I bought a Kingdom Hearts II Formation Arts box ($12), thinking that it'd be simple for me to get anything other than Goofy -- which is the freakiest character alive, seriously -- and, opening the box, I got Goofy. Scared the heck out of me. So instead, I went off to get some other stuff.

But the KH2 thing kept bothering me. So what did I have to do? Go back there again the next day -- Sunday -- and buy another one. Went over to the e-Gaming room without opening it, showed it to my friends, opened it -- and what was in there but Goofy again -- though this time, it was the monochrome one.

Fully convinced that the dealer I bought from only sold Goofys, I traversed the couple feet from the e-Gaming room to the Dealer's Room with my friends (who were laughing a considerable amount), and had them get some boxes to prove me right, and I (foolishly) bought yet ANOTHER one. (The first box should have been a warning. But nooooo, I had to be stupid.) One of my friends opened hers. Ansem. Another one of my friends opened hers. Jafar. I opened mine -- and proceeded to close the box, wanting to promptly strangle someone.

In the end, I basically blew off thirty-six dollars on complete and utter idiocy, though I managed to give away a Goofy because I felt nice slash evil. Gave it to someone who we thought was goofy. Mmmmhmmm.

This marks the end of this year's idiocy, though I still had a little money left to pursue more...fulfilling desires. Yeah, so smack me upside the head with a large trout, I'm just stupid like that. :D)-/

[go2sleep]

I spent hella money. About $120 worth of stuff i don't need lol.

Final Fantasy Tradings Arts vol. 2 set (w/o Turks Vincent) $54.00
Kingdom Hearts Formation Arts (2 random boxes) $30.00

I tried to get Cloud out of those Random boxes but I got Jafar and Oogie so I ended up just buying Cloud...

Kingdom Hearts Formation Arts -Cloud (colored) $40.00

I should have just bought the whole KH set for $80 since I spent $70 for Jafar, Oogie, and Cloud. I don't even want Jafar and Oogie, i just wanted Cloud and Kairi. Oh well....i'll try to get rid of those.
