Pleeease *is on hands and knees*! I really really wanna go to Anime Vegas, but I'm going to require some money. This is the last time I'm going to be able to go to a con for an entire weekend with my best friend! She's going to northern California for college in September ):...that's very far away ;A;! So please help me out!

Any little bit helps! I need to raise some money specifically for the cost of my badge and my share of the hotel fee. So please commission me! Any little bit helps, it really does. My commissions won't be open for very long either, since I'll be busy with college and work and stuff later on. OPEN UNTIL MID-AUGUST.

Here's the best part of commissioning me--I'M PRETTY CHEAP! Trust me, I've paid way more money for less art than this...which is why I don't buy art too much. But darn some of it is just so dang pretty! Anyway, please consider buying something from me.

OK! So, no more than 3 characters in the same group pic please, although I prefer no more than 2. If you want more characters, then they'll be seperate pics.

Sell the image for profit or claim that you drew it yourself

Other than that, use it how you like. Just be sure to give me credit. A link to this journal isn't required, but it would be awful nice of you ^^.

Weeeeeell, I've had better con experiences. AX 08 is at the bottom anyway. But I still had fun...even though the bad outweighed the good. I think I'll rant a bit...

I have officially decided I'm not too fond of larger conventions. And I HATE Los Angeles...stupid , STUPID convention center D:! It smelled outside, the food inside was expensive, there was no food nearby outside, had to walk down 5 or somethin' blocks in the blazin' heat!, crappy service at Denny's when we did get there, got back late to the con and didn't get in to ANY signings because they would close the STUPID lines (fire hazard how?!), I was dehydrated (didn't figure that out till later lol), masquerade line was unbelievably long, and the people on stage at the dance were super creepy and gross....phew! I also went with a group of friends too big for my liking. It's hard to keep up with so many people D:>. I'd rather not keep track of 10 people next time.

Oh yeah, and there were plenty of people I was perfectly willing to call the cops on. I am NEVER taking any kids to AnimeExpo.

As for the good, I got to talk to Vic Mignogna...for like 10 seconds (too many people!). But anyway, he remembered me ! Yay! And then later while we were chillin' on the floor, we met this super nice girl. She just randomly came up to my friend and asked what she was drawing. We chatted with her a while. She's so cute and sweet! She even bought us some fries ;_;! Tammy was her name, and she drew me and one of my friends cute pics of us. She also invited us to her house if we were ever in LA again . She was 18 like myself but just moved out here from...Taiwan I think? Anyways, we felt real bad leaving her when we went on our wild goose chase for the masquerade.

Hm, oh yeah, and I saw Jack Sparrow go up against 5 ninjas with a blow up Chiquita Bonita Banana...lol.

EDIT: Forgot to mention 'cause I typed this in a rush, but will now, due to my free time...

I also met up with a girl there that I had met on Youtube earlier that week. She's from Hawaii and was gonna be there all alone, so I told her I'd meet her there and hang out with her. Cons aren't as fun when you're by yourself. If any of you are going to a con that I'm going to in the future, and you need someone to hang out with, or you just wanna say hi, I'd totally love to ! So let me know ok?

I have recently decided I will be attending Anime Vegas, which is August 29-September 1...in Las Vegas lol. Yay! My first out of state con

Seriously. Why is it that I can never go all 4 days?! It NEVER works out! The first year I wanted to for one day, didn't go at all. Last year I wanted to go for 2 days, went for one. This year I wanted to for 4 days, I can only go for 1.

Basically it's because the friend I wanted to go with can't go for 4 days and I can't pay for the hotel by myself D:. I don't know of anyone else willing to let me stay with them sooo yeah.

I'll be going on Saturday. If anyone else is let me know ! Maybe I'll see you there!

...honestly, the first weekend of the new year was the AWESOMEST weekend of my life! It was completly Vic filled. I got LOADS of pics and bought lots of stuff. I even got videos! YAY! I can't figure out how to get the videos up though...

But anyways, lots of Vic! I got so many pics with him, and hugs! Many hugs. Not to mention, he kissed my forehead! And he was always patting my hair ^^. Oh-em-gee he is SO nice! He signed lots of my stuff too. I was so happy to get front row for all his panels. Easiest to take pics and video that way.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find out Vic plays Takenaga in The Wallflower. I love that show! Someone asked Vic who was the best lady's man he played, and he could only think of Dark. I suggested Takenaga and he hugged me in thanks for reminding him. He choked me for not being a Risembool Ranger though, lol fun stuff.

And Michele, his girlfriend, is soooo nice! I sat right next to her for 3 conecutive panels. I let her have my seat so she could sit in the front row. We took "myspace pics" lol. She's so fun .

And oh my gosh we even got talk with Vic and Michele by ourselves! No crazy crowd of fangirls around ! The closing ceromny was going on, but Vic left so we went to go eat. That's when we bumped into them again. So we got to say good-bye and take some last photos.

BEST WEEKEND EVER

I FINALLY met them! After years of wanting, I finally met them. I went to Ani-Magic in Lancaster purely to go to Vic and Aaron's panels. (In case you don't know who I'm taking about, they're the voice actors for Edward and Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist...and shame on you!) Unfortunatly I was not at my full thinking capacity, I was surviving off of 4 hours of sleep and no food since the day before.

So so SO awesome! Seriously, the HAPPIEST day of my life! It's been nearly a week, but I'm still excited! They're so funny and nice! I bought Vic's Metafiction CD (that he signed). I love it! Such pretty songs. Sad one's too. And funny one's like Soldier A and Legend of Middle Tennessee. I REALLY wanted a Risembool Ranger t-shirt too, but I didn't have enough money ;_;. Vic's girlfriend was really nice and told me I could call her down from the main desk and get the shirt the next day, but I wasn't able to go back! It's not like I live there. I'm still upset about that. I want one so bad! Especially since they were the last shirts of that kind. Major tears I cry D:.

Anyways, on a happier note, I got signatures from them and took pics with them. I asked Vic to sing Brothers . I got a hug from Vic too! I swear that was the best hug EVER! Seriously he gives really good hugs, adding to the fact that it's him. After that, amongst the many questions I asked, I asked Vic to say a line from Phantom Dark. Not only did he say it, but he called me up and said it in my ear, using my name. It was too much for me to handle lol. In case you wanna see it, here's the link: [link]

Too bad my cousin missed the part where he said my name ;_;. Oh well *sniff sniff*

And Aaron has the prettiest eyes! Oh my feakin' gosh! They're like a greyish green. They don't come out like that in the pics sadly. That's boys so chill . Whatever he's says is funnier 'cause he's says it so calm. He's barely turning 15 this month, and he's so tall! I got a sig from him for my friend and I called her while he was doing it. He wanted to talk to her (so cute!). So she got to talk to him! She owes me her life . Muahaha. For some reason he asked what she was wearing lol. I'll forever and always remember the way he laughed with his head thrown back. Her answer was alittle weird xD.

So many more awesome things I remember. But that's just a few. Now if only my cousin would upload the rest of the pics we took .
