Hey guys, I know it's been ages since anyone has seen me on this name. I've been...kind of avoiding it, to be perfectly honest. ;__; I do love all you guys, even if it doesn't seem like it sometimes.
Anyway, this last weekend is alternately the greatest and worst of my entire life. I went to ACen with a good friend of mine. It. Was. Amazing. Well, what little I actually saw of it. But bad news first.
Friday night, on the way home, Stars and I missed our last train and had to sit in the middle of Chicago. We were there about an hour and a half in the cold while my dad came to pick us up. When we got back home, we picked up my car from the train station and were on our way home when I fell asleep at the wheel. We'd been up almost two full days with maybe a couple hours sleep between us. It...wasn't a pretty crash. I'm not quite sure what happened but we hit my dad's van and almost wrapped around a pole. My poor car is totaled. Not sure how the hell we got out of it alive, much less unharmed. The worst the both of us got are bruises and whiplash. No broken bones. No blood (except for a few tiny glass scrapes). We're both just peachy. The pictures of the crash though? Absolutely awful. I can't think up a single reason why either of us are alive except for divine intervention. I am not kidding. It was the scariest moment of my life. I don't want to drive anymore, I jump when I hear squealing tires. Those of you who have never been in a car accident, there is no possible way you can understand what it is like, or what the aftermath is like. I'm just lucky I haven't dreamed of it.
With that out of the way though, I have to say just one thing that a million people across the country will understand immediately:
Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic!!!! Vic was at ACen this year, when he shouldn't have been. He went last year so when we planned the trip we had no idea he was going to be there at all. But he decided a few months ago that he really wanted to go this year too and OMG he is SO awesome! He's so sweet and fluffy and he gives the best hugs in the world. The panels he was on were so funny. >_____< It was the best weekend ever. We didn't get to go to his concert Saturday cause we passed out all day and were so sore, but we made both autograph signings (the only reason it is okay to stand for three hours in a row), the Ouran Q&A and the Vic Q&A. It was amazing. We also saw like 345972345 million awesome cosplays, including the second hottest FFVII Cid I have ever seen. We also made two yaoi panels. It was so much fun. I didn't get much loot, but I got a CrossxAllen doujinshi, a sexy dark fanart poster (siiiiiiigned) and got my badge signed by Vic, Colleen and Caitlin. 8DD
The weekend pretty much balanced itself out but if I had the chance to go back to Thursday and decide not to go in order to avoid the crash, I would have gone anyway. Just cause the con was that fun. SOOO many awesome artists.  If I could have, I would have spent the entire weekend in Artist's Alley. I would love to have a booth there, you know? If I practice enough, I could be apart of that one day. ;____; It'd be so epic. I think I have a dream now.
Gaaah, the colors! >.< If any of those who read this had a booth there, then I totally love you. 8D |
