Has it really only been 5 days since my last post? It seems like longer. Oh well.

Thanksgiving was okay. Nothing really happened. Same with the rest of this week.

Steven and Cam came over last night for movie night. I have confirmed that the fewer people are at my house (no lower than 3 though), the better it is. There isn't a whole lot of room in my basement, and it's a lot less chaotic with just a few people. Well, it's not really any less chaotic if Cam is one of those few people and I stupidly offered him soda again. But you probably know what I mean or something.

I wanted to hang out with people today, but I couldn't. Cam and Steven apparently went to Tim's to make more of their movie, but I didn't have a ride until later, and even then I couldn't get a ride home, so I couldn't go. I tried to see if anyone else could come over to my house, but no one was home. Oh well, there's always next weekend.

So... yeah. That's basically everything I felt like saying.

eh? news ahoy!

Liz is talking to me. I thought she hated me or something. Oh well, it's not like that's a bad thing, just kind of surprising, I suppose. Eh.

Anyway. Still nothing to do. I'm gonna go hunt for a ruler so I can finish drawing. Meh.

So, not much has happened. Life is still... um. Well, just life. Uneventful. But not bad or anything.

Just thought I'd give some sort of update so people know I haven't fallen into space or whatever.

Oh yeah, tomorrow's the last day of school for the week. Thanksgiving and whatnot. So hopefully I'll be spending the weekend doing stuff with friends. And stuff.

Uh.. yeah. That's all. See you all whenever.

We're having some test tomorrow... it's like a pre-pre-ACT or something. Ridiculous. Oh well.

Hmmm... I'm going to go draw/try to figure out photoshop now. see you all whenever

I had a really good dream last night. Ask me about it and I'll tell you if I feel like it, but I'm not going to talk about it here.

Um. I really don't have anything else to say. I guess I'm just bored right now.

I should go... draw something. Yeah. jaa ne.

Oh man, going to GameQuest with Tim and Steven today was pretty fun. I kinda wanted to buy the Super Scope they had there ($25) and mount it on my wall or something, but I didn't have much money and it's not really worth it.

Then we went back to Tim's and made fun of him trying to play Metal Gear Solid. Man, he sucks at that game! heheheh.

Then um. Well that's pretty much it. I'm gonna go reminisce about FFVI now.

Oh man, movie night was such a beast.

There's too much to explain, and it's all pretty vague anyway, but suffice it to say that it was frikkin' sweet.

aaahh I get to go to gamequest tomorrow! Brian, Tim, and Steven have been talking about it ever since they went (last year, I think). I'm really excited now too. ahhhhh

I kinda wish Brian was here though. Oh well. I feel bad cause he misses so many Movie Nights... Hey, why does he go up north every other weekend anyway?! It's November, he would only get cold! At least it made sense over the summer. Blarg.


Well I think I've had a bit too much coke (one can, actually) because I'm really hyper, so I'm gonna go do something now so bye!!

DUDE. It was freaking awesome. This past weekend was easily one of the best weekends of my life.

Obviously, I'm talking about Youmacon. It was awesome beyond words. I guess I'll just explain everything in order.
Friday:
Unfortunately I was only able to stay for about 2 hours on Friday. I basically just followed Paige, Sasha, Sara(h), Kerry, Tammy, Allison, and Jessica everywhere. Most of us got Dave Anez's autograph. Actually, through an odd turn of events, I ended up with Dave Anez's signature in his own freaking book. He jokingly said that it'll be worth a lot of money someday, but I don't really doubt it.

I was surprised when several people asked me for my picture. I kinda forgot about that part of being a cosplayer (I did mention that I was going as a Black Mage, right?). Oh, and one girl asked for a hug. So yeah. Apparently Black Mages get a lot of girls or something. Dunno how that works.

Saturday:
Jani and I picked up Tim and arrived at the con around noon. We wandered around for a while, then went into a Kingdom Hearts panel. After a few minutes, we realized that it was basically an online forum in real time. In other words, it was totally boring. So we left that and hung out some more, making fun of a lot of cosplayers. Specifically "Dogiroth", a Sephiroth cosplayer with a very doglike face. Bwahahahaha... we're going to have a lot of fun with the pictures of him.

After lunch, we dropped Tim back home, picked up a disposable camera, and went back to the con. Where I did a lot of nothing for a very long time. In other words, I just hung out in the lobby watching the Spoony Bards. I have become totally obsessed with them.

We were going to stay late so we could watch the FMA movie, but I was having too much fun with the band to leave, so... I kept hanging out there. A little before 10 PM, they started something that I believe is the most epic thing I've ever seen. They played a crapload of songs in a relatively short time, with very little or no pause in between. One Winged Angel (Sephiroth's theme), the FF Victory Fanfare, Spoony de Chocobo, Gerudo Valley, Vamo 'alla Flamenco (some FF9 thing), Slam Shuffle (FF6 Zozo), Those Who Fight Further (FF7 Boss), and they finished off with Korobeniki (tetris!!!). It was awesome. I danced like an idiot the whole time, and I don't care, it was great. There was also a huge crowd there as soon as they started playing OWA.

Throughout a bunch of this stuff, I made two new friends, Karen and Amanda. So yeah. I met Karen in line to get Matt Hill and Patrick Seitz's autographs, and Amanda during the whole crazy dance thing. I think I talked with Amanda for well over an hour before deciding it was late enough and heading back to my dad's.

So, that means that minus lunch and autographs, I spent about 9 or 10 hours just standing next to and listening to the Spoony Bards. They were nice, too... Some of them would occasionally smile at me, and it really made me feel welcome and stuff. So yeah, Saturday freaking rocked.

Sunday:
This time Jani and I got Andy, and also Jani just kinda dropped us off instead of hanging around.

We checked out the dealer's room and stuff for a while, then went back to the lobby to watch the Bards. I met up with my two friends from before and got their email addresses. Eventually, Andy went back to the dealer's room, but I stayed with my friends and the band. I also got all of their autographs! Even the people that weren't really in the band, just with it. Heh. It was most awesome. Then I got 3 or 4 pictures of them. After my friends had left and before my dad came to pick us up, I asked Andy if he wanted the sammich that Jani packed for him (and I already knew I didn't want mine). He said no, so I gave it to the band. Truth be told, I was pretty hungry, but I thought they deserved it more. One of the violinists (I think he was Chris... I'll have to memorize their names) was really excited, and said something along the lines of "Oh man, thank you, we always need food!"

So having done all this I felt very accomplished. I have to say, other than the Bards, the best part of the weekend was the feeling of belonging that I got. I felt right at home at the con, as though everyone there was family. I miss it already...

A few other things worthy of mention: Someone came dressed as Raptor Jesus. That was pretty awesome in and of itself, but then he proceeded to march around the convention for about 15 minutes with 2 of the Bards following him, playing the theme of Jurassic Park. Luckily, Tim managed to get part of it on video.

Hmm... what else happened? Oh yeah! On Saturday, I noticed someone walking around with a free hugs sign. (go here if you want to know what I'm talking about: http://youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4). Within a few hours, it seemed like every third person had a free hugs sign. It was really moving... I hugged everyone with a sign, except the gross-looking kagome cosplayer on Sunday.



Okay, semi-done talking about the con. As for today, well... it was an okay day at school. But seeing the crowds just reminded me of the con, and I really wanted to see all the cosplayers again, even the really bad ones. I decided after 3rd hour to carry a free hugs sign myself. Only 2 or 3 people wanted a hug, and most people just stared or laughed. But I don't care. I felt a lot more at home.

Heck, I put my sombrero from my costume back on for a while when I got home. I felt much better. I can't wait for next year to see my "family" again.

Anyway... I should go do my homework now, before it gets too late. *sigh*

I should be taking out the trash so I can go to bed, but I felt like writing a bit first.

It seems that my mom had too much to drink again. I believe that this is the fourth time I've seen her like this. Ugh. As usual, she was really immature, woudln't tell me why she had a 3rd drink (normally her limit is 2), swore at me, etc. It took me about 15 minutes to convince her to get off the couch and to her bedroom. And chances are she won't remember any of it tomorrow. Dammit.

Anyway... so, that incident included, a lot of nothing has happened today. That is, not much took place, but it seems like a big deal for now. I won't elaborate on that, since I've promised not to. I just hope everything turns out alright.

Anyway... going to bed now. g'night people.
