One Abnormal Girl

So, just to be sure I chronicle this, because I’ll never remember otherwise, here’s what I bought while I was at y-con this year. :party:

The Doujin:

• The top-left one looked promising, but it turns out it was by a circle I’m not particularly fond of but hadn’t known the name of. RoyxHavoc.
• The middle-top was a gift from cryogenia from the circle Cherub! <3 It’s a HughesxRoyxHavoc where they seem to be trying to outperform each other.
• The top-right one has such a pretty cover. The art inside is nice too, but it didn’t seem to stand out. RoyxHavoc
• The bottom-right also has strong art, another RoyxHavoc. I liked the cover, which seems to state that Havoc is a full head above Roy.
• The middle-bottom is THE MOST ADORABLE DOUJIN YOU WILL EVER BEHOLD. It features Hughes and tiny kitty!Roy out for a visit in the country. :kitty:
• The bottom-right is a HughesxEd from the excellent Mulberry. First four pages are in color. Lovely art. <3

Other:

• CRAZYLOSTSTAR BOUGHT ME A COHEED AND CAMBRIA DVD AND PATCH from a concert she went to. 8D
• I finally found Ponderosa’s table to snag that little drunken kiss between Hughes and Roy.
• crazyloststar bought me the EdxAl print <3
• Found adorable artwork in a corner of one of the art rooms and picked up the keychains of Roy and Havoc. She had an amazing FMA calendar, but it was a bit pricey.
• I also got a Kyo (Fruba) t-shirt, but I forgot to put it in the picture! D:

I should maybe unpack my stuff?

I had to blur out a filename that had my name in it.  It was my resume.

I’m tagging:

1. crazyloststar
2. cryogenia
3. lacidiana
4. pollinia
5. burningvigor

Optional of course, just curious. :3

This y-con I got to hang with crazyloststar, cryogenia, edchii, wiccat, and mikke!

Hard to say what went on this y-con–I have such a hard time keeping up with a timeline XD But I arrived around 5pm at LAX–that’s L-A-X, not lax–and miracle of miracles, crazyloststar found me at the airport after I got my luggage! Then we hung out at her parents’ for a bit, got food, and took off around 10pm for the drive up to San Mateo with her awesome sister, Itch.

We made it into San Mateo around 4:30 despite our exit being completely closed, and because crazyloststar had requested early check-in, we were able to get into the room. The prospect of having a bed at that point almost obscured the fact that they got some kind of half-suite room of awesome. But I would be headed to a full suite the next night, so I had it good all around.

I waited all summer for my toad lily to bloom, and it finally did about two weeks ago. This is the first bloom. They’re tiny flowers, about an inch across at the top, but there’s a lot of them.

Also, here’s the first preying mantis I ever saw first-hand. And had it not been on the other side of my screen I would have flipped out. Okay, okay, I know they won’t hurt me, but holy shit, that’s a huge insect.

(I had this written pretty shortly after I got back, I just couldn’t do anything with it. >O)

The best thing about any con is the people! So I’ll start there.

Notice that according to the chart, there were 12 people at Sky’s house, including me. XD It worked out well though; it’s a big place.

(If you’re arriving here via the Hemingway WordPress comment I left, I ended up switching to Lightbox, so it’s no longer relevant.  Thanks for taking a look, though. :) )

Just uploaded some kitteh pictures to my Photobucket, d’aw. See ‘em under the cut.

These photos are all Jen’s! :D And they were taken during Otakon of 2007 in Baltimore. My photobucket account is private, so if you’re able to see this post, please do not spread these around.
