Ahh skool starting, Otakon Day 2 wrappup not written, good times...good times.
So Yeah instead of Otakon Day 2, I'm just doing a regular post I'm sure your all very dissapointed. Sk00l started this monday and i had to go through crud, because one of my classes was cancelled, "Intro to Computer Tech", so I had to go sign up for another section, or another class all together, because otherwise I wouldn't have enough credits to be full time...and if I wasn't full time then I wouldn't be covered by Health Insurence...and that would be bad. So yesterday I went right in and the lady was crazy and gave me stupid options and somehow I ended up getting signed up for "Intro to Terrorism" when I thought it was supposed to be "Intro to Political Science". So I went home told my parents I was taking this class, they looked at me funny and asked "What do they do...show you how?". Being that I would never take such a class, today after my 8am class I went back saw a smarter adviser, told her I, "I want you to know I am firmly against all Terrorism, and will have no part in it." So I am now into another "Intro to Comp Tech" section. Which is all well and good, it just makes my precious Wednesdays more painful. Wednesday I have an 8 - 9am class, a 12 - 1pm class, and a 5:30pm - 9:20pm class, and now I added a 2 - 4pm class. Which means I have an hour to get comics between 1 and 2pm, oy the things I do.
I also have just been setting up my desktop here at skool making it all pretty and functional, its so sexy now. I just have to transer w.blogger from my house, and my version AIM because it won't let me install either, and the copy of AIM I have currently is old, and wierd diologue boxes pop up whenever it start up, I just want it to auto sign-on.
Thats all for now, off to class.
Whats I"m Up To

8.20.2003
Just a short blerb watch this video, it pleases me despite it using RealPlayer. Hawksley Workman rocks my socks.
Hey there, Ho there, its me the Yanni, the ladies choice. Oh the drama, busy busy busy. Despite the fact I have plenty of days off from work, I still feel like I havn't stopped doing things since I got back from Otakon. And now of course its 4 days before school starts. Which makes it funny because I will more update more when I am up to my eyeballs at school, than i have during the summer. So lets talk. :-)
Otakon 2003 was quite fun. The five of us left my house at about 12:45 and thus began the 6 hour drive to Baltimore. We only stopped once for gas and bathroom. Matt drove the entire way, he was quite goofy and tired by the end of the trip, being the only one who was awake the entire time will do that. I myself only got like 30mins of sleep. The hotel wouldn't let us check in early so we had to wait till 3pm. Obviuosly we went to the con early, and started our wait in line.Me and Jim didn't pre-register for various reasons, Ferro, Matt, and Jay didn't have that problem. Our line was about 30min to an hour longer. Before the con opened the line was just on the side of the building, Jim slept on the sidewalk for a while, heh. We got inand pretty much just walked around taking in the sights, lots of nifty costumes.
For the rest of that day we pretty much just waited for the Dealer's Room to open, which was better than last years i think. Bought plenty of t-shirts. Megatokyo was there at their booth which definetly had the longest line in all of the dealer's room. We went to the webcomic panel at night, which was hillarious. It consisted of Fred Gallagher (Megatokyo), Pontus Masden (Little Gamers), Ian J. (RPG World), Matt Boyd, and Ian McConville (Both of Mac Hall). I t was fun to see, Matt asked them what the thought of Sprite Comics which obviously is what we do on the Mighty Matrix, Mac Hall told us that even the man who does 8-Bit Theater doesn't like webcomics, which was funny, they also said that for Sprite comics it has to rely on good writting *strikes pose* :-D. I have to say Ian J. was definetly the funniest guy there and that says a lot. Masden is from Sweden, he's a funny guy, but as of late his comic has become too topical, against Bush and stuff. It was just really stupid at some points where he essentially says "Americans are stupid" and everybody claps and stuff. Me and Matt just look at each other and shake our heads. From there we went to Mystery Anime Theater 3000, which as always was funny, at one point there was a little Strong Bad Moment where he and the Cheat were on screen for a sec during "commercials" the whole place went NUTS really emphasized how popular Homestar Runner is. Once that was over the last thing we did was goto Artist's Alley where we noticed Megatokyo was there signing stuff still. I had my Megatokyo book so i was all set. Jim Hanley was like smacked in the face, he didn't want to lose this chance since the line was short Jim said hold my place in line and he preceded to run all the way back to the hotel room over 9 blocks away mind you. The line pretty much got short my stuff got signed and we told Sarah (Seraphim) about our friends plight trying to get back here, so they stayed a bit longer cause the room was getting ready to close. We all thought, if Jim didn't get back in time he's gonna cry, and we were all gonna feel really bad, but thankfully Jim got back very tired mind you, got his stuff signed. All was good and we went took the long trek back to the hotel room.
End Day 1
This kind of ended up being an Otakon wrap-up, I can live with that, more later. Oh and I am working on getting the Otakon pictures up just gimmie some time cause it takes a while, plus...I have to find this time also :-P

Well here's my second attempt at a post, my first attempt was lost to four winds...was kinda ticked off by that. So we'll see how this goes.
Well its been a while since I've posted here as always, and a few things have happened that I feel like talking about. Ready? Go!
1) Well I turned 20 a week ago, finally out of my awkward teenage years, and headfirst into my awkward 20's. Had a birthday dinner with my fam the night before the actual day. Just had my bud Jim come over, and we hung out. The 'rents got me Homer Simpson slippers which are kinda creepy since your feet go in his mouth, the prerequisite pants, a wierd clock, and the old 70's Batman Movie with Adam West (who is the man in case you didn't know). The next day i had to spend much of it with my dad since it was his day off, but later that night I got as many friends together as i could, and we all went to Bombers, so we could be filled with Chili Cheese Fries, which I highly recommend. That was fun, then we just came back to my house and hung out and everyone slowly left as the night went on.
2) Catherine is currently on Vacation and I miss her terrably, this is the longest we've not been together since we've started going out. She left before my birthday, which she felt really bad about, so she spoiled me :-P, and also got her revenge. At her birthday I wrapped her gift in like 15 layers of newspaper with Ducktape, she swore revenge. So when she gave me my present, it was this large box which I started upwrapping, 40 layers or wrapping paper later I had gotten to the box which was full of poland spring water and another wrapped gift, so another 40 layers later I got the second box open, which had a piece of paper inside, with lipstick on one fold. The sheet of paper said "Revenge is Sweet" and that was it. She is deliciously evil, and thats why I love her. Then she went out to her car and gave me my real present. She got me GTA: Vice City, a nice controller, RE: Code Veronica, and the card game Chez Geek that i have become addicted to. But yes she will be gone for a totalof 2 weeks before I see her, the last time she was away it was for a day and 1/2 and neither of us could bear it, but we're managing with phone calls.
3) My parents are also on Vacation this current week, leaving me to my own devices, and being on my own and fending for myself is kinda fun. But it bothers me cause I can't enjoy it as much as I'd like because of obvious reasons :-P
4) Also Otakon 2003 is coming up this weekend, so the gang is geting ready and making our final plans for that, which should be exctiing. We'll take lots of pictures which I will share with you for a much needed photo update to the site, Since ferro never gave me his pics from last year :-\. This is my summer vacation and I will be surrounded by Otaku...I hope I survive the experience...again.
Mighty Matrix slowed down a bit, but we're getting back in the game. So please goto the site and click on the funny papers link to help us stay in the top 10.
