pacificpikachuSo, I'm back from Anime Expo alive and well! It was absolutely this year and I hope to do a report of some sort at least, even if it's just a summary. Everything ran so smoothly this year and overall it was way more relaxed than any other AX I've been to. It was lots of fun! I actually liked the new location a bunch even though there was a ton of walking and it was a bit expensive.
Also, I'm very embarrassed that I put Tomokazu Sugita instead of Toshihiko Seki in the last entry. It was written on almost no sleep--I do know the difference, I swear! D: Between Toshihiko Seki, Tomokazu Seki (who I have also met) and Tomokazu Sugita it's confusing when you're sleep-deprived, in a hotel room with a bunch of fun distracting people, and not proofreading.
I'm fairly tired despite getting a lot of sleep in and out of Lynn's car last night, and I'm feeling somewhere between extremely happy and just the slightest bit gloomy for no reason (combination of post-con gloom and PMS, I suspect).
Those who I saw there--it was wonderful seeing you, even if it was only briefly! Those who I didn't--sorry I missed you!
While I was there, aside from all the great stuff I bought (nearly everything I was hoping to buy, actually!) I won a lot of forty-five Pokémon plush on Ebay for $73 shipped. :O :O :O OMFG, I have no idea how they're going to fit in my room, but I'll be keeping around fifteen of them and selling the rest. So very excited. I also bought eight Pokémon plush there to begin with so...LOL, my collection. It is painfully large. I need to post it someday but I always ALWAYS have things in the mail so it is hopeless. :(
So everyone knows, I am reading your f-list entries from when I was gone. :) I am not replying to the vast majority of them, however. Sorry! Just know I read them. Not including communities, you guys posted more than three hundred posts in the last five or six days. I think there were around a thousand posts while I was gone if you include communities, so I have a lot of catching up to do.
I hate to do it, but I think an f-list cut is imminent. I spend way too much time and energy every day reading my friends-list and replying to posts, and while I like all of you there are a number of you who don't reply to my comments or post in my journal at all, and there are several people I can't even remember who they are. If you're reading this, you're probably safe (and if you've replied/we've talked recently you almost definitely are), but if you have any doubts and want to say you'd like to stay (or that you don't mind being cut--I won't be offended and it'll be drama-free, I promise!) feel free to reply. The comments aren't screened, but if the comment is of a personal nature or whatever you can just PM me instead or I can screen it once you post it.
Like I said, I hate f-list cuts and I don't want to do one, but I'd also rather concentrate my time and energy on people who actually care and make an effort to keep in touch than people I never hear from. I'll allow the cuts to be contested as well if I cut you and you really wanted to stay. ^^;
I got a new cell phone today on the way home. It's just a minimal one, but it's nicer than my other ones and at least its battery will hopefully not freak out over every little thing like my old phone. (Those who talked to me on the phone at Anime Expo got the old "Sorry, my phone is dying!" at least once.) Thankfully all my contacts were transferred so no one needs to give me cell numbers again.
Anyway, Anime Expo was a big success this year for me and now I'm looking forward to relaxing and going to smaller cons until next year's May and July roll around. :) I get my birds back tomorrow, and tomorrow I'll probably post about the things I got at least and maybe do some photos/talking about the con.
NOW TO WATCH MACROSS FRONTIER 13 *___*
