Best Friending Meme Ever

Hi to the new peeps on my f-list from the above meme! ^o^ Here's my thread if you're curious to read it.

Anybody going to Anime Expo this year? dyxlisa and I have been working on cosplay stuffs the past few weeks. We're planning to reprise FF13's Vanille (me) and Fang for sure, and it's highly likely we'll have done Homura

Blah blah blah, TIDAL WAVE!

I've always wanted to go to an anime expo, but the nearest one is at London, I have no idea where its located, and its always held at highly inconvenient times. xD

I have yet to get to the point where Rita can say that -- I must fix this someday O_O

Ah, there aren't as many anime cons in other parts of the world, huh =x Previous years AX was simply hard to get to since it's in Los Angeles way down in Southern California (I live in the north part) California just happens to be lucky to have many bigger cons happening in the summer. In the state of Ohio where I went to school, except for one which happened during Spring break, I didn't go to the cons with my anime club because they were right before midterms 9_9

*gasp*

(I finish games in a week or less if I really get into them. xD)

There are hardly any anime conventions in this part of the world, alas. I guess its because the vast majority of voice actors are from some part of America or another, so its more convenient for them. Much as I'd love to travel abroad and experience one, it'd cost a fortune and I don't even have a passport, so...yeah, whilst England is most delightful, its damn boring. xD

Though, hearing from people I know who've gone to England or other parts of Europe, there's so much history and background everywhere that the USA simply hasn't been around for long enough to have =O But I guess I'm just thinking idealistically since I haven't seen much more of it than pictures, haha. (I really should travel more, there's so much out there I haven't seen yet just cause I've always been busy with school...)

I'm not entirely sure how true that is, but then, when you've grown up in a particular culture or area, you don't really notice much about it as strange, you just take it for granted, because its perfectly normal to you. Whilst the USA doesn't have as much of a record of "civilisation" as other countries do, I'd say it has other indicators of a historical background - some of the natural landmarks, for example. I'd argue that these are better than historical records written by man, but then, I'm a cynic.

...although I've read a lot of ancient texts relating to the Roman period, so I think that, for once, my cynicism is perhaps closer to realism. xD
