Y-Con 2008!
Sep. 29th, 2008 01:02 am* Still on semi-hiatus, especially as far as commenting goes. I'm working on reading all the posts I missed while I was gone, though! :) There's a lot of them, but I'm enjoying reading them.
* YaoiCon was fantastic again this year! Maybe just the slightest bit less fantastic than last year (simply because last year was like EPICx1000000000), but still completely and totally awesome! YaoiCon is definitely my favorite small convention. :D I felt so, so, so much happier and more upbeat and like myself while I was there... It was really a relief. I smiled until my cheeks literally hurt, laughed loudly and often, cheered at things I'm glad none of you can see, had weird conversations with people, and giggled to myself when I ate some corn at Fresh Choice on the way back. My brain is now addled with innuendo, so if I say something a bit "..." any time soon just blame it on the con, haha. I do encourage anyone who is tolerant towards yaoi (no need to be passionate about it or anything--I know I'm not) to go at least once for entertainment's sake. It's a fun and hilarious ride, and overall just a great con. Wonderful people, funny and interesting events, and a good time for just about everyone.
I'm sad that I only found
toggy,
ensuing,
astrokittie, and
xel_ko at the last minute, but at least I got to see them and have fun with them for a little bit before leaving. :3 I made lots of awesome new friends and got to see and spend time with a lot of old friends as well. I'm not always a super-social convention person, but for some reason YaoiCon seems to have an abundance of great people to talk to.
I won't say I'll post more about it later because if I do I'll curse myself into definitely not writing about it, haha.
* We have Bob kitty at our house now! I'll most likely rename her, but we'll see, haha. She's been scared and hiding for the last few days according to mom, but I just went in the garage to visit her and she was totally affectionate and sweet, awww. ♥ She seemed to really appreciate the affection--the lady who was taking care of her before got her with the house she bought and is allergic to cats, so while she likes her she can't touch her at all. I'm sure it's a hard switch for the kitty because she lived at her previous house for seven years, but I think and hope she'll be happy here. Here she can live outside and get lots of love and care.
Now my calico CC is sitting on top of me, hee. I can't believe I have three cats now! I've never had more than two, and the last cat I got (outside of foster cats, but they don't count) was CC...and that was at least nine years ago.
* Downloading the last episode of Macross Frontier right now. I must admit, I'll miss it once I watch the final episode. :( I spoiled myself to a few of the things that happened, but nothing too major. I don't think it'll hamper my enjoyment of the ending, and I'm hoping I like how it turns out. I had fun discussing Macross F with some fanboys at Y-Con, haha, because they were rooming with us one night and I was singing Neko Nikki to myself as I was packing, which caused us to get in a conversation about it...at 4:30 AM. Thankfully one of the two was a Ranka fanboy so it's not like it was the AnimeSuki forum but IRL, hahaha.
At least there's going to be a movie to look forward to once I finish the series. It's certainly not the best or deepest or most amazing series, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't enjoyed it thoroughly.
I need to find time to watch more anime. I've missed watching a bunch of series and getting to talk about them! ;___; I want to start Natsume Yuujinchou and...a lot of other things I can't remember because I'm braindead.
* Still utterly stressed-out now that I've returned home. I don't know if there is an option outside of withdrawing from Physics at this point. :( I'd hate to do it, but... I just can't seem to keep anything together this semester. I don't want to go on about it because I have all of tomorrow to think it over and I'd rather try to focus on positive things at the moment.
I have a bunch of other things stressing me out (no motivation/energy still even though I felt fine and energetic at the convention, forty-some packages that need to go out but haven't been packaged, no money, screwed-up sleep schedule, and so on), but yeah. I'm just going to move on from that for now because I'm falling asleep and don't need to stress myself out again.
