Just woke up from a dream, but it wasn't one I can really post about. I'll just say...

Hurray! I don't have to get a Tetanus shot! \(^ ^)/ (or have a puncture wound)

Yeah, that's him :D

/endthreadhijack
And I told him about the Anime Five Cities convention, I dunno if I'll be able to visit him during that time, I live in San Jose. ^^;

Final Fantasy XIV all the way! \(^ ^)/
Sooooo much new info~~ <3

On a side-note of sorts... I do buy my favorite manga provided they're released here, but with some works (like Tsutomu Nihei stuffs) I actually prefer reading it online since the actual manga can be too small to take in all the details.

Mmm, can anyone interpret dreams? I'm starting to think my dream was some sort of Fanime metaphor.

Here's the both of us at the Maid Cafe, with our lovely maid Hima. ^_^   l

He's on the right.                                                                              v

OneManga, just cause I've never heard of Manga Fox. ^^
Recently, they've started redirecting from OneManga to their sister site 1000Manga for series that used to be taken down when they'd get licensed here in USA. I'm sure its to circumvent some legality.

Hmm... my bf also lives in Morro Bay, I'll tell him about this. Not really sure how close the two places are myself.

Aww, did people need to really point that out? I kind of feel bad for the girl.

I have another~

I was browsing the Artist Alley with my bf and stopped at someone's booth to look more closely at stuff. A girl decided to inspect the booth more closely too, and just as she walks in front of me my bf decides to touch my butt. >_<;;

I protest loudly and the girl thinks I did it because she cut in front of me, so she started to apologize and ran off. I tried to explain what happened but stopped myself and she got away. :s

If you read the forums, I'm sorry for scaring you off random girl! I hope you stopped by that person's booth later. ._.

Anyone have any dreams lately? Well, I think people dream almost every night and usually just don't remember, so... Anyone have any dreams they remember lately? ^^;
I just woke up from one. Actually two, but I don't remember the first one anymore. It was a short one.

I'm sitting by the sidewalk of what I think to be near where I parked every day for Fanime now that I think of it. It's Halloween (barely, its like 1amish into it) and I see people with costumes on already. Actually, everyone I see pass by has a costume on which is kind of weird. But then I see a group of people all about my age with some different article of clothing with black and white stripes on, so they all match. I realize my long sleeve shirt underneath my short sleeve has black and white stripes on it (I really wear it like this in real life too), so I start following them.

They all glance at me and I say, "I'm not following you, I just.... OK, I'm following you. ^_^;;" and they all laugh and let me join. I start whistling the "This is Halloween" song until we reach a sort of apartment building/clock tower. We climb all the way to the top, and the stairs just go up one side and down the other, there's no real last floor there, so we just look out the windows and sit all around.

We passed a single person sitting on the stairs without a costume on... I keep remembering details as I go. o.O;

Anyhow, we decide to do something requiring money, so we all start chipping in. Lots put in a couple singles, someone puts in a twenty, I put in a five. Just as I do that I check the time on my cell phone and its 2:34 am. I start panicking because I'm supposed to be working every day overnight this week ("I should've called in sick!") and reality hits me and I wake up. I check the time and its only 8:00pm. (-_-;)

I could've hung out with those people for another hour. ;  ;

I don't think I've ever caught anything at Fanime. I've also heard that about 40% of your immune system comes from your diet.

I went with the protesters. All the others I kind of half-expect at any con, but the protesters are a nuisance that I've yet to get used to.

So here's a topic for your funny/sad/weird/etc anecdotes that you'd like to share. ^_^

On Friday morning day 1, me and my bf were walking to the Con to pick up our badges (we had pre-reg'd, but got there too late on Thursday to get our badges early). I parked in a small $7 flat rate parking lot behind the con, but wasn't too sure about how to get the convention center from there, so we decided to follow someone who was walking ahead of us in cosplay. We took an unexpected right turn behind some buildings, which we assumed was a shortcut and just kept following.

Soon afterward, we saw him disappear behind a wall. Once we turned the corner we found ourselves in a big warehouse area, and the person we'd been following was nowhere in sight! I saw a small group of people in the opposite direction, so we headed over there. A Fanime staff member nearby realized we were lost, and escorted us through the Dealer's Hall (which was still being set up) and into the main concourse area. ^^;

Adding to that, we then took the stairs down into the registration area and lined up in the surprisingly small pre-registration line... Later after getting our badges and walking around a bit, we realized we had cut in front of a giant section of the line outside the room. ._.;

A couple times I'd be walking around fanning myself, and suddenly it'd feel like I just got slapped in the face. >.<
I only smelled it a couple times, in the dealer's room and the main concourse area, but what it lacked in frequency, it made up in potency. ;  ;

I wanted to make it to this, but I wasn't able to wake up in time. ^^;
Will you be doing something like this again next year?

Oh hey, I never did get my Chinese fix. :O
I'll be happy to join. ^_^

Oh wow, I was actually thinking that it keeps getting better each year.
I went to more panels than any previous year, and there always seemed to be something good that I hadn't seen before playing in a video room between the ones I wanted to attend (thank you, Nostalgia Room!). I fell in love with the Artist Alley this year as well. My only "complaints" were that some dealer booths I was looking for weren't here this year, and that I missed out on Evangelion 2.22 on Monday cause I was dead tired and they changed it from 8am to 10am.

I was talking to one of my in-staff friends in the Arcade room during the wee hours on either Saturday or Sunday (sleepless nights sort of blur together) and he was even more enthusiastic about it than me.

Dunno what to say about the 'aura of blandess' mentioned, but I'm of the opinion that if you managed to get bored during Fanime, chances are it's because you're a boring person.

I have Soul Eater, http://s289.photobucket.com/albums/ll215/Wisedomdragon/Fanime%202010/ starts on page 3

I browsed everyone's pictures (cept the ones requiring facebook) trying to find spot myself a la "Where's Waldo" and I was just about to give up when I found a very nice shot of me and my bf! \(^ ^)/

After Friday I completely forgot about this. ^^;
Filled out form though~ Would prefer meeting up somehow.
