We do yaoi commisions!

There is an unhealthy number of people in the world that simply cannot see the benefits of standing in line, outside, in the cold and wet for an hour to get into an equally-crowded ballroom-like facility without a working payphone. Thank the Powers That Aren't that I am not one of them; that's right: it's convention weekend in T.O. again! We thought going at 10:00am would get us in, as it opens then. Boy, were we ever wrong. Next year, we are so showing up at 7:30am. But that's not the point. The point is I got a Sakura plushie. It, much like Pocky, is better than you. (I payed $25.99 for it, and I am the only--only!--one who touches it. >:^O) I also got a Shikamaru figurine^.^, volumes three and four of the new-edition Nausicaa releases, two identity cards that give "the license holder immunity over any law within Japan", a free booklet with a school-girl running into the bath-house from Spirited Away, and two fabulous fan-prints! *does a dance* The first print is of Sakura-chan as a jounin, with a mask covering the bottom third of her face. I chose it over the comical one of Lee saying, "Wachoo lookin' at, foo'?" (at least, it looked like he would have been saying that XD) was because of the colouring. Aaa--and it is gorgeous! The style is beautiful, and the water and mountains in the background are simply astounding. However, nothing could ever match up to the second print; Shikamaru, Kakashi, Sasuke, Iruka, Lee, and some one else who you can only see the hand of, all in a pile with Naruto on top of them. Sasuke is grabbing at Naruto's ass, and, at the top, it says "mine." (<--there is some punctuation difficulty here, but I did the right thing--it's ugly; i'll change it back...) It was the last copy, too! The lady who was about a foot away from me lost it by a second. Muahaha...! Godel strikes again! Truth be told, I was astounded by the number of Inuyasha's that were walking around. There were a few Vash's, alot of Sakura's, a few Sasuke's. Two Gai-sensei's, three Lee's, two Orochimaru's, about five Temari's. Oh, and the Gaara's! Unbelievable! Never before in my short life have I seen as many paper-mache gourds at once, in the same place!^^ There was even a Nabeshin--I think I must have been the only person to identify him to his face, because, when I screamed out, "Nabeshin, we love you!", the guy's face contorted into the widest expression of delight and relief I've ever seen. Heh. And he dind't even have a pink jacket. >:^O I also managed to correct a few people's ideas about who Godaime is, talk to a Neji look-alike, have a discussion about male-male butt-grabbing with some people selling prints (Guess who I bought mine from... They had a sign saying, "We do yaoi commissions!" with a picture of Naruto and Sasuke kissing! How could I not have bought something from them?!), talk about Sasuke's over-popularity with the plushie-selling-lady (I thing I got that address right--haven't been to the site yet, so don't kill me if it's in any way disturbing. XD), and much more! Oh, and I got a name-tag.^^ (I plan to use the A.E.G.I.S. I.D. in my wallet, if I ever get one. Well, one with an I.D. holder-place. : / My current one is...cool. : D ) I have yet to wash the cross-scar from my left cheek, and damn did today own or what?! The only sad thing was that Sammie-chan was too sick to come! *cries* You would have loved it there, dude! Especially the guy dressed as Lee who sold me my first print! He was cool.^_^ *runs around in circles screaming*
