    Ummm, I mean, I just love those look-and-find-and-wiggle-things games. *Dice offers Mon some tissues.*

    Holy Cow! 3500! Congrats Mr Mon :p. You could have posted something better than disbelief in my gaming intentions :D I'm amazed you have survived the zombies this long, you should serve yourself a drink.

    The problem with food stores in general is that it is a source of one of my weaknesses.

    For me a 500 gr lasagne sometimes is a snack.

    Really disappointed right now, I'm going to an anime convention tomorrow and at the last second one of the people I'm sharing a hotel room with bailed out; now me and the other person don't have enough money to stay at the hotel. So now I'm going to have to drive up there all three days; I live relatively far away. This also means that I'm going to have to pay an additional $60 for parking. I'm trying to find a free or cheap parking lot near the hotel (where the convention is being held) though. There's also a bunch of other stuff going on concerning this, such as the fact that my friend has my costume and I'm not sure how I'm going to get it; if you don't have a costume you have to pay an additional $5 on top of the ticket price to attend the convention.

    RAGE! RAGE! RAGE!

    Wouldn't a fake mustache be considered costume? :D

    Well Arctic, you could find a free parking lot, spend your nights in your car, and then go to the convention dressed as an icicle.

    Okay, I managed to work everything out. I will be driving my friend to the convention and she will give me gas money. We found a cheap parking lot across the street from the convention for $3 a day. It's about 45 minutes away from my house, which is a pain (driving there and back three days in a row). I'll manage though!

    Hey! I thought 45 minute drives were a piece of cake for Americans. ;) Still, driving back and forth every day is something I imagine you'd rather avoid.

    You could skin the person who bailed out and dress up as a doppelgänger.

    I'm creating a backup character for a table top D&D game now. It's gonna be something arcane (Warmage/Transmuter/Ultimate Magus). Since all my earlier characters were warrior types, this is something completely new to me. Current stage: Spell Selection. Pfffffft!

    Today is an awesome day - I got a nice gift from somebody special and I dropped off a resume and got to tell the person who was hiring that one of my qualities is that I can gut a fish :D.

    @ T2 .... and how would you know that hmmm?

    This is incredible! How have I never gone to any of these things before? I effectively crossdressed at the convention as I was cosplaying as Chibitalia from Hetalia. I'm glad I did though, as I met a bunch of awesome people, most of whom were Hetalia fans. Also, please note that every single girl in the entire convention will walk up to you and give you a hug.

    I got knocked out of the Super Smash Bros. tournament on the first round, but it was a touch match and I dragged it out to three rounds (it was best of three). Playing with 5 lives stock, I beat him the first round without losing a single life, I suppose I got cocky after that though, as he beat me (narrowly) the next two rounds.

    The best event by far though was the Metal Gear Solid event, sadly there were no boxes, however. We had a war with dart guns with MGS music playing in the background, it doesn't sound like much but it was quite intense. I was the third to last person eliminated on my team and I received extra points for my "great dodging skills." It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, from running out in the middle of the battlefield and dodging every single bullet on a lone wolf ammo run, to kamikaze rushing enemies head on, it was great. The kamikaze rush is what got me killed, however, as the guy I was chasing had his teammate flank me and shoot me.

    The third event I went to was a Black Butler event, which wasn't really my cup of tea. No pun intended, as it was effectively a tea party, but with hot chocolate. They auctioned off a pair of panties and human beings. Yes, they had a date auction for one of the people who set up the event. I wasn't really paying attention, but I believe someone payed at least over $40 just to go on a date with her.

    I spent most of my time at the convention just hanging out with various people, be they the Hetalia group or a few other people. I also experienced my first kiss today, though I'm not sure it actually counts, as we were playing the pocky game and it only lasted for a second. Regardless, the convention is a blast so far, I'm about to pick up my friend and head up there for day 2! If you want, maybe I can share some pictures with you guys?

    P.S.
    Anyone here at the Kawa Kon convention in St. Louis, Missouri?

    Sure Arctic, post some pics - that would be cool. Tal probably has the best idea where you should put them - maybe in your profile?


    Congrats on the first kiss btw ;)

    Arctic, some pics would be cool, yes! :) Upload them to your personal album and then add some of them (the non-dreesed up ones, if it's up to me) to the SPMP. We're in need of more pics there. ;)

    Also, I don't think the kiss would count as your first kiss, sorry to say. IMO, a kiss has to last a bit longer than that and needs to be unrelated to a game. Unless she looked you in the eyes after that and kissed you again, perhaps. :) But that's just me. As long as you enjoyed it, who cares what's it called or if it counts? :D
