Hey, Shauni, if you make it across the pond to Otakon, we would love to meet you, of course.
A friend of mine really wants to go, and she was the one I went to Japan with, so you never know, in the next few years I might just be there to do that!
Its a dear old do though, but god it would be worth it. Where do they actually hold Otacon?

Hi! Otakon is in Baltimore Maryland at present, though it'll be moving to Washington DC in a couple years. Not sure when I'll get to go again, with the Hawaii job and all, but I may be able to combine it with a trip to visit my grandparents sometimes.
I heard Otakon is moving 2015, so next year. They'll have more info on that soon.
Also, the Mafia style games are my favorite. There is a board game of Battlestar Galactica which involves unknown Cylons in a very similar style, and it's been a lot of fun to play. The only problem is that it is very long.
I'll definitely enjoy Japan better when I'm not here with my sister and her boyfriend. It's been fantastic, but I forgot how much they bicker... So far Osaka's been my favorite city, and Ritsurin Park was my favorite garden.
It was nice meeting you, Josiah. (Oh yeah, this is the thread for saying Hi to Josiah... Hi!)
Yo, Stevenson. It would be nice to see you again, by the way.
Congrats on Graduation, Poision! And Congrats on being accepted, Cheez! Good luck to you both!

Hi! Yeah, traveling with other people has its pros and cons. On the one hand, I sometimes wish I spent more of these trips traveling with friends or family. On the other hand, when I am traveling with other people, there are certainly times I wish I was by myself so I could do things my way.
Anyway, I'm halfway through my six days on Kyushu. Other than being behind on travelogue entries, things are going well and I'm have a lot of fun. That said, I'm closing in on six weeks of constant traveling and touring between China and Japan and definitely starting to get a bit worn out. Not exactly sure how relaxing things will be back in the US though, seeing as I've got that move to Hawaii to deal with.
MK! Listen young man, I'm tired of all these late nights out. You're a growing boy and you have a bed time. Now, I'm sorry to have to do this, but it's for your own good... you're grounded, mister. I want you to think about what you've done. Oh, and go do something productive, like join the Mafia!
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate." Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
And done. Also, just so people are aware, I'm going to talk to Josiah about changing my name to my current alias. I will put it in my signature that I'm formerly Matrix Kirby, but just wanted a sort of heads up.
Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?
Aloha! It's been quite a busy time for me, working, getting ready to get back in to college, and working on my cosplay for Otakon. I will be Foxy the Silver Fox from One Piece, much to the viewing displeasure of the attending public I'm sure.
Oh, I also updated my signature.

Hi! I should have my packing done today, minus a few things that have to wait until the last minute. Still don't know when my stuff is actually getting picked up though. The car could be any time this week with 24 hour notice. I asked for the boxes to be picked up on Friday but they said it might have to be earlier in the week and that they'd let me know the exact day. Makes it rather hard to plan my week.
Other than that, been catching up on movies, Netflix stuff, and the like. Maleficent was pretty good. Edge of Tomorrow was good but had little, other than the basic premise, in common with the book (which is better). If anyone is interested, the book is called All You Need is Kill (Japanese English and all). And now I'm finally watching Doctor Who series 7.
So. Um. Hi.
Yep. One of those people who keeps popping up and then vanishing randomly. I don't really know what to say about that, except... sorry?
But I haven't forgotten you guys! That should be obvious, considering how I'm posting now, right?
...Well, that, and I'm doing a research, and I would really appreciate it if you all could take a moment to look over here.
But I'll try to stick around as long as possible. I've just been busy for the past couple of years, trying to get my life (well, mostly myself, if I'm honest) together.
It's been fantastic, but I forgot how much they bicker... So far Osaka's been my favorite city, and Ritsurin Park was my favorite garden.
