Topicless thread

[Bella]

I just read your review. It's good to hear it's at least watchable, since I've heard quite a few bad reviews. o.o

Speaking of reviews, the Outdoors are hot and humid and full of insectoid terrorists, 1/10 would not go outside again.

Except my dad's gone to work for the next two days and I have to take care of the lawn for him so I sorta have to, barring a heavy rainfall. *ponders doing rain-dance...*

If I could, I'd send some rain your way; since its supposed to rain this weekend

When in doubt, sacrifice to the Allfather. 10/10, would blot again.

So my cousin graduates on tuesday. I probably don't have to tell you what that entails this time, so stay tuned for pictures of random people spraying booze over each other and driving around town in huge, overdecorated truck beds with way too many speakers pumping way too loud music everywhere.

Did I mention booze? Because there's going to be a lot of it.

A. Lot.

@pent: *goes to read*
@pizza: oi, this year was fucking AWESOME. don't knock it till you try it. >>;

I would sacrifice a goat for the Black Lagoon poster.

That's a big part of why I avoid cons and other such clubs/meetings relevant to my interests.  As everyone here's probably full aware of, I don't like people in general for a variety of reasons that generally boil down to having high standards of social behavior.  So that very rarely meshes up with things I'm willing to do or meet with in public since most other people sharing relevant interests just aren't people I want to deal with off the internet where topics are limited to our mutual interests.  Totally different story with the OSC crew though, and I did attend thirteen consecutive Shenandoah Valley Railroad Club Model Train Shows until college took me away from home but cons just give me a ton of anxiety.

if i had known you liked that series i'd have gotten you one. i'll see if any of my friends are willing to give up theirs. -w-;

also, don't knock cons till you try it. sure, i'm only highlighting the bad aspects of the people, but the people there are overwhelmingly GOOD. hugs, compliments, fangirling over things with complete strangers, willing to hold on to plushies till you have something to trade? it's all good. i made friends with people who just happened to be sitting next to me in a panel. we formed a team for a game show just because we didn't have enough people alone. i'm facebook friends with Krystal and her sister Kendall now because of that and i love it. :3

You sure have a pretty badass time at cons Choco.

Well today I saw a man that passed out on the street. People were standing around/peering at him.
Some dude called an ambulance and junk, but I thought I should just go home and forget about it.

@Kari: Always nice. It's why I want to go to a con :3

@Leaf: That's odd. Hope it wasn't anything too serious :\

So, I now have the money to get the car in my name on Monday >:3

ROAD TRIP PENTI

[Nichi]

Indeed. My sister and I are planning a trip out of town once I have my doctor's bill paid and have the car ready to go
(Then, of course, will come the epic road trip when I'm moving eventually)

[Chocofreak13]

AB 14 IS IN 10 MONTHS PEOPLE LET'S START PLANNAN NOW

@leaf: oh dear. :\

it's funny that i mentioned Krystal since she messaged me on FB right after i posted that :3

[Nichi]

Once I have these bills and whatnot out of the way, and can start adding to my moving fund again, I'll take a look to see about maybe taking a trip for the con. Depends on what my savings account looks like by the end of the year :3

Which, since I cashed one of the savings bonds I had, this should allow me to pay off the doctor's bill a week earlier than originally planned; which will be quite nice

[Bella]

@Nej: Send your cousin my congratulations. Have fun and stay safe!

@Leaf: I'm glad somebody called for an ambulance, at any rate. It sickens me to hear stories about people who are obviously in bad shape or in need of emergency assistance and have nobody notice / care enough to help them. :/

@Stew / re: attending cons and such: The things that have held me back from going to any anime / fan conventions are money and transportation, but I think I would enjoy them. I get by okay with pretty much anyone who is open-minded or at least tolerant of other viewpoints, but I feel immensely more comfortable in the company of people with whom I share common interests / experiences. There is something very comforting about being around people who are (on some level) like me - be it something as relatively-trivial as being in a shared fandom or something serious and personal like having a similar sexuality or gender-identity.

And heck, even if I wasn't interested in talking with and meeting people, I'd want to go to conventions just to appreciate the art on sale, look at / buy swag, go to panels and the like. -w-;

bells, srsly, start saving! we can go together! : D
