ad_exiaHey all! It's spring break! Yeah! ^_^
First off, I went to Megacon in Orlando today. Jen and I got up at the unholy hour of 8am (^^;), turned ourselves into tennis players, and headed out about 9-ish. We got there at 11, met up with Brandon, and went conning. (Hm, there needs to be a better verb for that...)
Mostly I went to the con for the dealers' room, and oh was it pretty. O.O Some good-sized amount of money later, I came home with the following:
- Gundam SEED Destiny clearfile with Athrun and Shinn! XD
- Two Gundam SEED collectible figures: they turned out to be Milliaria and a *really* hot Cagalli o.O;; (And I got the website of a great place so I can get the Kira and the Lacus, and hope that they get the Athrun in soon!)
- The WORST-dressed Inui plushie ever. It was horrible. As soon as I got home I fixed that. ^^;
- 58th Squadron patch - since Megacon was an all-around sci-fi, comics, and anime con, they had SAAB stuff! *squees*
- A birthday present for my mom. Yes. I got her something from a convention. <<; I think she'll like it. I hope.
Things I REALLY wanted but could not buy:
- ZAFT and EAF flags!
- Teh cutest Daisuke clearfile ever
- Ryoma plushie with a mouth!
- Taka plushie (I will get one!!)
- GUNDAMS! Dammit, why are Freedom and Impulse so expensive?
- Teen Titans poster (I still want one! I didn't see any >>)
- Ichigo's wristband (again, just didn't see it)
BUT! I SAW AN ICHIGO!! XD All was happy. He was 1337, as Ichigo tends to be.
Right, so in other con news... quite a few people actually knew who Jen and I were, so that was really cool. Usually we PoT cosplayers get ignored because no one's seen our show. ^^; We also found a Momo-sempai. ^_^ Who made bad puns like a dork. And a Kevin Smith who tried tomolest me all evening... and kept getting whacked with a fan for it (go Sanjiroh!). It was actually quite good fun, though as usually happens at cons I was very tired and headache-y. -_-; But it was fun.
Anyway, I headed out about 9pm-ish, and got back right about 11. And I have NO idea what I've been doing between then and now. o.O; Anyway, I should go to bed very soon (as in at least half an hour ago) so I can get up and go running tomorrow. Oh! But before I forget, my list of things to do over spring break! (For my own purposes, really.)
- Look at apartments - and possibly decide on one
- Get tickets to Boston (Jen and I have picked them out, I just need to make sure she can pay me back and click "order")
- Possibly/probably get a haircut >>;
- Work on Heihachi and maybe even start Kira
- Finish my crazy PoT fic
- CLEAN! (My apt. and my hard drive)
- Spend more time with my kitty
- Study for ISM and do the reading for Radio
- Perform some maintenance on my bike
- SLEEP!!
I'm sure there's lots more to do, but I'll likely think of that later.
BEDTIME!
