Mission Statement: TEN THOUSAND POUNDS OF YAOI
Alas, it was not to be: it was 90% sold out by the time we got around to witch-hunting about for it. Only we had no intention of burning it.
Truth be told, my friend wouldn't have gotten any yaoi, whatsoever, if it weren't for this guy who kind of popped out of nowhere, claiming to be a friend of her brother. (It turned out to be a true claim, after all, but that's kind of beside the point.) Mostly because of having drunk the free water (or so I suspect), he went on an insane yaoi hunt, digging violently through every booth selling manga's stock until he found at least something with two boys feelin' each other on the cover. And a parental advisory sticker on it.
"Hey, check it out! They're both explicit! We'll take 'em all!"

No really, though, everybody who drank the water went a little off. It was kind of creepy. O_o

I spent a lot of time waiting for certain unnamed party to show up, which they never did. While sitting at the table, listening to my friend's brother's friend talk about the Condom Country stick-on tattoo he found lying on the floor, I attempted to eat a drumstick. Note: attempted. The chocolate shell kept breaking and the ice cream was all melty and the nuts kept falling off and it was overall not worth the effort of getting up and waiting in line to pay for it. It wouldn't have been worth the effort to get up and fetch one, were they free. Especially since it almost...bled, if you will, all over Gaara. >: O

That's right: I am now the proud mommy of a Gaara plushie which scares the crap out of my family. My dad's thoughts on it were along the lines of, "That fuckin' Chucky thing is going to kill us all in our sleep." Which was pretty funny to hear.
I doubt it will scare my mom into locking it in the bathroom like she did with the Furby (God, I think I've forgotten how to spell it by now. -_-), but hey.
So I guess you could say my Gaara plushie is a surly little fellow, without eyebrows. He has the word "LOVE" stitched into his forehead, however, but no one believes me when I tell them that. *tsk*

I also got the most darling little grossly overpriced hat imaginable, then decked it out with myriad pins, which I believe I have described before.
Anyway, the hat itself is a pleasant blue, with pink on the inside of the ears. That's right: ears. I now own a kitty-ears hat. Piro has nothing on me. >: D
Also, it has a picture of Jin on it, which is just duplexomely AWESOME, beyond imaginability. And this cute li'l' stylization of Kakashi. And, of course, "YAOI IS GAY". Or, as my dad says, "Who the hell is Yadi? O_o" Haha--"Yadi". I guess the font makes the O look reminiscent of a D, but still. Yadi. *falls over laughing*

Volumes two and three of PLANETES are now mine, as well, which is always a good thing. Honestly, it's one of the best series in existence, me not being alone in saying so: the guy who sold them to me was all, "OMFG FAVURITE SERIES DUD!!!11" Actually, it was more along the lines of, "Oh, I love PLANETES. It's my favourite manga--I just love how intricately the characters are developed and how realistic all the technology seems. You can tell the guy really has a passion for the story while you're reading it." But still--a fanboy, no less. *shrug*

Also, three prints and a neat yellow t-shirt with some bug-like creatures on it. Wai.

There were people dancing and singing karaoke, which was almost bearable. I was tempted to go up and see if any one could sing if they wanted to, but then I couldn't think of any good anime songs to sing, so I didn't. Also, I wanted to get more shopping in. (And my voice sounds weird when I try and sing pop music, anyway, so eh.)

Lots of costumes, most rather lame. However, a few stood out: Lulu, Princess Peach, The Prince of All Cosmos, Domo-kun, Killik, and Seung Mina, to name a few. Thankfully, Killik was both shirtless and nice looking, unlike most scantly clad males present. Fat, hairy FFX2-style Yuna's are not my idea of anything at all...holy. Or good. Or even simply not pure evil. *cries in a corner*

Some fat old guy in a Hello Kitty t-shirt tried to lift something, but got chased down by Faye Valentine, Kakashi, and some guy with a light saber.

Also, the hotel across the street seemed to have caught alight around 4:00pm.
G: Well, it would seem the Flame of Recca people got a tad overexcited.

o_o;;

More on the con later.


Well, I am finished all my exams for this year. The exams that will govern whether or not I fail mathematics. Am I worried? Fuck yes.
I have no idea how I did on, well, anything math related, so I don't think I'll torture myself by mulling over it.
But I can't not mull. I mean, fuck. *kicks stuff*

This school year is the worst I've ever had, in terms of grades, events, and just about everything. I'm really sick of my current school, so a change will be nice next year.


I am tired of my hair. Je les deteste. Either it's mostly gone, neatly and with the aid of the correct brushes and scissors, by Saturday, or it's mostly gone, with the aid of hand scissors, over the bathroom floor. Grr.
Actually, methinks it'd be pretty funny to just cut it now and see my mom's reaction upon arriving home. *smirk*
