Now that I have gotten all that anger off my chest.....on to brighter, happier times.  I had a freakin' awesome weekend!  I went to Anime Weekend Atlanta.  I bought a few things from the vendor room on Friday, including three t-shirts (two for me and one for Adam), and a pillow for my sister.  I noticed that they had less vendors this year than in 2005 when I attended last.  They had more of the things I wanted last time, but this weekend was still so worthwhile.  This time around, it was Ambrosia (Amber), Anna, Jennifer, and me.  We eventually caught up with more of Jennifer's friends from school too.  It was nice to see everyone again.  The highlight was definitely the big J-Rock concert.  Three bands played back-to-back from about 9:00 'til past Midnight.  The Captains totally catered to the fangirls and to everyone that loved Naruto, which was awesome.  The last two bands were The Emeralds and Peelander-Z.  This was a new experience for me...my first time seeing J-Rock bands live, and I can't say that I was disappointed.  They were so fun to watch.  I got a kick out of their performances and we caught the most random things on tape.  It was so funny to watch recorded moments at the con.  I laugh at just about anything.  One of the videos was actually of a random guy telling this cosplayer to stop.  Another was of this guy dressed up as a sushi piece twirling around.  It was so damn hilarious!  I was laughing my ass off.  Then Anna taped me and Amber doing the "Naruto, Naruto, lubba Naruto" dance.  I hope she doesn't post that up on youtube.  >,<  lol 

Most of our time was spent in the vendor room.  I didn't spend as much money this year because I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, plus I barely had enough money to even pay for my part of the hotel room!  Talk about embarrassing.  I obviously didn't plan my finances as well as I should have.  Oh well....shit happens.

Anyway...I really wanted to see Paprika on Saturday but there was a line for every video room.  Everything was packed this year, so that was a bummer!  We didn't even get to see the Costume Contest because it was overcrowded.  I shrugged it off and hoped that maybe we could do that another time.  Jennifer suggested that they have events in more than one hotel, and in bigger rooms....makes a whole lot more sense to me.  That's what they did for Dragon Con...the biggest Sci-fi convention in the nation.

We watched Mushi Shi...it was interesting to say the least.  I wouldn't buy it, but it was worth watching to get a feel for it.

We went to the mall after driving around for an hour trying to find Outback Steakhouse....it wasn't at the address listed and we couldn't find it, so we instead had a delicious dinner at P. F. Chang's.  That lemon chicken is to die for!  Try it!  It's worth the money.

This weekend may have been a little crazy, but it was outstandingly good!  Even that's an understatement.  I feel like I could talk all day about how much of a wonderful time I had.  If only I had that kind of time.

The most priceless moments were spent with Jennifer.  We had some extra one-on-one time together, and in a friendship, that is the most I could ever ask for.  She really helped me out a lot with the issues and bullshit going on in my life. 

Jennifer....you encourage me in the most enthralling ways that can't be described.  I love you!  You are such a good friend to me.  You're the best!  ^_^

Just a few more days! I can't wait! ^_^ I have been so stressed lately and so piled up with reading that it makes this trip even more worthwhile. It's nice to get out of town occasionally. ^_^
