Messy semester
Well I really feel like I started this semester with the wrong foot. Not that things have been going wrong, it's just that they've been disorganized, and I'm very anal about keeping an organized schedule in my life. So I went to Otakon last weekend, it was awesome, but it could have been better. Since it was my first time and didn't have the time to do teh research, I didn't exactly know what to expect of the convention or what I should be ready for. There were many activities I couldn't go to, I had to leave the masquerade early, not to mention I would have loved to participate in it, but I found out about it too late. I had no idea you could take a professional picture of yourself so it would be posted on the website either. Oh well. Next time I guess.
Other than that, overall it was really great. The flight was just dandy, I got to see the most amazing sunset and moonrise from airplane view. The weather over there was fine, and the twins's aunt was the sweetest woman in the world. The houses over there are beautiful. I wish I could have had more time to cruise around the area. It had been like 6 years since I last visited the US. Anyways, my cosplay as Temari came out perfect, and the hair, well, the first day didn't come out THAT well, but the second day it looked perfect. I could have been more blonde though, but, eesh. Anyways, Yeli did a kick ass job on that hair. We would spend over an hour every morning getting it to look right. The first two days we were all over the convention, I took oodles of pics, there were a bunch a people cosplaying as Naruto characters, there was even a Naruto photoshoot. I was in it, but I still haven't seen me on the internet. If anyone sees me, let me know! Everyone went crazy over my fan, kept asking me where did I get it and stuff. Good job Narnie! I didn't get like specifically friendly with anybody, which kind of got me down. I figured I would at least have made one new friend on this trip. Oh well. I went to this japanese writing course but they just taught me things I already knew. I wanted to go to a voice acting panel and stuff but I never made it for some reason. The masquerade was fun, there were some really funny, emotive (and really painful) skits. I would have loved to do one. If I ever go back, I'm so participating in it.
so of course, I went nuts in the dealers room. Although ironically, I went even crazier in the art gallery where the artists sell their stuff. Cause in the dealer's room they just had some stuff, but since Temari isn't THAT popular a character they didn't have that many things on her, and they had like nothing on Shino and other characters I like. So I got most of the cool original stuff from the artists. no to mention that most of the things they were selling in the dealer's room were things I can get off the internet for a lower price, so screw that. I just bought things I had never seen before.
The last day of the convention Yelitza and I went back to the art section and we had our anime style portraits done. They are so awesome! They came out great. That day we also walked around the harbor area and went to the aquarium. It was nice, only we had bad luck. We got in a half hour late because the fire alarm went off, and we didn't get to see the dolphin show because a calf had just been born and it was cancelled. :'( nevertheless it was still good. Next day we came back to PR, the flight was extremely long cause they made us take a detour because of some military activity. Damn military.
So maybe it was because of this whole Otakon thing, plus the teeth surgery, plus I dunno what, but I haven't been able to like really settle in or get used to the mechanichs of this new semester. I hope I'll get in sync soon. I'm sure there were other things I wanted to talk about but hell if I remember now.
Oh! important. I HAVE A NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS. PRTC WENT BOOM. So from now on my new e-mail is temari15@mac.com please e-mail me here in the future. Arigato!
Well I'm gonna go now. I have to get ready for Beaky's party. HAPPY BDAY BEAKY!
