A-kon was freaking awesome!

This past weekend was a-kon and I have to say, I had a really good time, even though I was not all that impressed with the convention this year (cosplay running long is not an excuse to be 2 and a half hours behind!).  We had two para para panels and two performances and I think they all went very well.  We met a ton of great para para people who I hope to get to talk to more at future conventions.  I really feel bad about not talking to them more, but I felt a little shy as they all knew each other and I was nervous about being the odd one out (its just something that happens to me in large groups of people I don't know, I get scared they will all hate me, I know its stupid, plus they were all so much better than me that I was self conscious).  But there was much para para love and hopefully next con I see them I can start to get to know some of them a bit better.  Perhaps if I get on some of the forums and such we might talk, I dunno. 

But con was fun.  Our second panel was one of the highlights for me.  We had a smaller group so it was more manageable to teach and they all did really really well!  I wish we could drag them all back to A&M with us to stay on the team.  We need to form a parapara scholarship.  ^_^  Ran into a ton of people we knew from A&M, that was fun.  I was really nervous about our cosplay halftime performance, and I screwed up right at the start, but after that things seemed to go better.  We were all a little off cause we had to run up on stage and were all a little flustered.  Also the crowd just wasn't very into it, but they were most likely just really tired of sitting through cosplay.  The sad part is that like no one we know saw us dance!  Evan did though...and sat with us while we practiced and hung out with us and sat through our panels...he deserves a metal.  I think he's our parapara groupie.  ^_^  But no one else saw us -_- and that makes me very sad. 

I got some cool stuff from dealers room and spent a ton of money on manga, but I got almost all of both this and next months new releases so I should be set for a while (Yay Death Note a month early!).  I also got some bleach figures and a bunch of my new favorite candy Hi-chews!  I could live on those things...  I also bought an expansion pack for Zombies which we all still need to get together and play *coughamycough*  and a few other small things that aren't all that important to list here.  Though they are important to me...But other than a few unnecessary drama moments the con was great.  And I'm so glad we stuck with one room.  It was so worth it and it wasn't near as bad as everyone thought it would be with 11 people.  I actually thought it was fun having that many people around.  And the Westin was a good place to stay, we may consider booking there again if only to avoid the con elevators. 

So I got up this morning to go to work to see what time I was supposed to be there since neither of the guys I asked to call me did, and I come to find out that I have the day off.  So I woke up early on my only day off this week.  Got my paycheck though.  I'm working 39 hours this week, all closing, bleh.  I love the hours, but I would much prefer the morning shift.  It's not as busy and the time goes by faster.  Plus Eric works mornings, so when I have the late shift I don't get to see him.  But I'll make due, I'm just still tired from con and really hope I don't have many angry people cause I really don't want to have to deal with them.  But I'll make due, I always do.

Well that's about it for now, I'm still pretty tired so I'd better go get some sleep.  I'm sure no one reads this, since no one comments anymore, but I still update every now and then just in case (that's a hint for all of you to comment!).
