Anime Los Angeles
OKIES! >< I am gonna do a some highlights of the day for ya:
Kelly and I got there, we got out badges. And the entire tiime in the line I was COMPLETELY hyper and stuff because everyone HAD to have a postcard with my art on it in order to GET their badge so, it was just cool.
We met Chaz, who then gave us our art table. We only had half legally so, Kelly and I just shared half (we later discovered that the owner of the other half wasn't appearing that day so, we could have had Kelly NOT squished... heh heh )
we got a bunch in commissions ... $70 between us, charging $1 (but people COULD pay more ... >> which some did). We had some people who were really nice and then we had some who were just a bit rude. This one group ordered multiple commissions and stuff and almost made me cry. I almost cried because I felt ... trapped. They were just STANDING and HOVERING waiting for their MULTIPLE pictures to be done. This started to make me feel a bit pressured, but what did it was when I had messed up a picture (in my head) and the girl said "yeah, you really did mess that up". So I said she could take her money back with the picture. She then suggested "why not just draw a different picture and you can keep the money"... I said "ok" and did one. It was pretty big and stuff, and she took it when done and STILL took the first pic I didn't like. THAT PISSED ME OFF >< I mean, she ONLY PAID ONE FUCKING DOLLAR AND SHE GOT TWO COLORED PICTURES! And it was around this point that i was starting to feel pressured and trapped. Luckily, Ryan and Kelly were there and they got me to go away to the dealers hall to cool off. I was on the verge of tears and yet those fucking people just stood there staring at me waiting for THEIR PICTURE TO BE NEXT! I DESPISE BEING STARED AT! It really freaks me out and stuff, so ... I got freaked out and ALMOST broke down completely... yeah <<
Got other people to bring me food.
Got a Mega64 DVD for free because I asked to buy one, and yet they didn't sell me it at that time. Then this nice group of girls who we had talked to earlier spoke up for me seaying "she just wants to buy the DVD so she can return to her art table" and they had me go up and then they gave it to me for free. YAY!
DDR was cool
I was dressed as Cloud when he was cross dressing. Spiked my hair, wore blue contacts, wore the water polo suit to make me flat ... and only ONE person guessed it correctly. Doesn't matter ...
stuff stuff, and I will continue this later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is me continuing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okies, I am continuing.
There was this Wolfwood cosplayer hitting on me WHEN I WAS WEARING THE WATER POLO BATHING SUIT = NO BOOOOOOOOOOOOBS ... I thought, wow, he'll take anyone. -_____- any girl, he would hit on. But, since there was a FREAKIN CHAIR NEXT TO ME, he chsoe to "sit down" and freak me out more. I crossed the line at touching my art supplies without asking. YOU DO NOT TOUCH MY STUFF WITHOUT ASKING .... evar -_____-
Whilst leaving, Chaz Boston (the dude who MADE anime los angeles) came up to me and handed me A GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR ONE POUND OF SEES CANDY!!!!!!1><
Then his two buddies appeared (the other two top in charge dudes) and one was all crazy about how my drawings were soooooooo expressive and that I was really good. And then one had his hand out to me, like to shake it, so i was going to shake his hand .... AND HE BOWED TO ME! HOW FREAKIN AWESOME IS THAT! !!!!!!!!!!!!! >
