I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season! I certainly did! I finally have a day off work tomorrow where I can sleep in and just laze around, and I need that so badly. I'm totally exhausted. Crazy season at work still isn't over, though, orz... I just have to make it through the next few weeks and things will go back to normal!

I'm a bit sad because I won a Chikorita plushplush a few weeks ago, and I was excited to win it. It's something I've wanted for a while, and of course they're not common... But the seller on Y!J sent the item to the wrong person, and attempts to recover it have failed, so no more Chikorita plushplush. T____T At least I was refunded in full, but I would have preferred the Chikorita plushplush... Oh well, nothing I can do about it, except continue my search! If anyone sees one for sale in good condition (with tag, preferably), please let me know! I'm also after the Larvitar plushplush. (And I'd love to get Porygon2, but I doubt that will happen because I probably wouldn't shell out more than $150 or so for one.)

I'm getting serious about wanting to go to Japan next year. I got some money for Christmas and put some of it away for that very purpose, and I have some ideas of how I'm going to make it happen. I'm thinking of going in October, just because I think that timing would work out well--I don't have any conventions then, it's not too busy at work, and it's not the middle of summer. I'm not set on that, but I think it's a good time to aim for, anyway.

I was finally ready to order two things on Amazon: the canopies for my chicken coops, and the Gyutto Eevee plush. The canopies went out of stock and Gyutto Eevee's price went up $10, so for now I'm not ordering either. Gotta get those canopies as soon as I can, though! orz of course they go out of stock as soon as I'm ready to order them!

Aww, well that sucks...I will be getting the Charmander plushplush with a little ripped and chewed on tag, but I still am so super happy <3333

Yeah, it's too bad... At least I used the money I got back to pay for a cel I won, but that means the hunt is still on! I hope the next one that pops up is MWT and doesn't go too high...

Congrats on your Charmander! :D I have Pikachu and Eevee so far, both MWT! Plushplush are so gorgeous.

Oooh, which cel did you get this time? I hope you can get it too <3

Thank you so much!! They are indeed super cute, can't wait for mine to arrive!

And aaah, I kind of wish I could go with you to Japan....I could maybe do it to save money till September, but i would have to buy my flying ticket now and I don't have that much money now X'D

Sorry about the plush and I hope the trip to Japan works out. At least the yen to dollar is pretty good now. :)

Thank you! Yeah, let's hope it stays that way for 2014! I'm serious about going, so I think it's going to work out. :)

That is a shame about Chikorita...:(

I'm wanting to go to Japan too. Rodney has no interest in going, but I don't want to travel alone. Not sure if it would be possible, but maybe we could go together?! If you'd rather go alone, then I understand. Let me know what you think...;)

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's too bad... I'll find another one eventually, though, I'm sure. Just have to be patient.

Oh, that would be great if you want to come along! I'd be happy to have a companion. Better start saving! :D

Seems LJ is not sending me notifications...:\

The best part about collecting is the thrill of the hunt...:3

Cool beans, do you have a general idea how much it will cost to go?! I'll gladly close the purse strings to go to Japan...:D

I'm thinking of going to Japan next April! :D
.. but I think most people go in July for the movie. It would be great to meet up if we're there at the same time!

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I wish I could go that early in the year, but I have to save up first so I don't think that'll happen. ;; And yeah, I considered going in July for movie time, too, because it would be really fun, but I go to a ton of cons in the summer, and again the saving up thing. However, I'm sure this won't be my last trip, so I hope we will be able to meet up in Japan (or elsewhere) sometime!

By the way, I got your message but just haven't had time/energy to reply lately--I will get to it soon!
