I tried to attend the several nerd-talk-to-girls panels but they were always full.
I was going through a fit of depression on Sunday primarily because I had some 15yr old mock me for still being single; at the time it didn't bug me because it was all in good fun while waiting for the Pokemon tournie to start, but I think that fact, losing the tournie, then the simplicity of not having any other event to go to to (totototo) keep my mind off it, everything seemed to just pool up and hit me.
Went back to my hotel to kill some time and ended up lost in thought for five hours in bed, moping. A friend came by and got me back into the fold of things, we went to go get something that would induce happiness, but it didn't work and just seemed to have the opposite effect, keeping me awake until 5am in the dining area.
I wasn't quite sound of mind and posted on Craigslist on the random chance of someone even checking.
So yeah, I had an awesome time at Fanime until things went downhill, I wasn't myself Sunday/Monday. x.x;
I partook of many hugs and conversations with random people, because yeah, Fanime was a gathering of my people; another possible reason I may have gotten down was because the last Fanime I attended was in the early-mid nineties. I was so not used to big groups of people, so I think I may have just had an anxiety attack or something.
Can't wait to come back next year though, thinking of going as child-eating Totoro. =D
