  1. Needed a pic for something. Failed terribly at the "Myspace method". Result: sort of a hipster Anne Frank :\ Yeesh. Not photogenic.
  2. @Alex_Plalex had independent confirmation of my theories re: which movie panels are likely, so...yeah I'm in for it at least a little :)
  3. @Alex_Plalex aside from awkward grinning at the television, I'm fine. Smitten yes, emotionally destitute no. ;) Get back to me after SDCC.
  4. Shocker: I'm not that into chocolate. Like it, never "crave" it. Shocker #2: have never eaten ice cream from the tub while crying.
  5. @Alex_Plalex hahah. Life enrichers! ENRICHERS.
  6. My mother bought it for me. Figured since I like British actors, a candy bar was a fair substitute? #justleavemewithmychocolatendtears
  7. Having a nibble on some British candy. Called a Yorkie. Far as I can tell it's just a giant brick of milk chocolate. #insertrudejokes :P
  8. I'm still thinking about this convention idea. Percolating. Think it'd require good definition & the right "known" people to be involved.
  9. @comixguru sorry about the layoff! :( Boy does that ever seem to be going around, how sad. Best wishes to stick the landing.
  10. @ToshihikoKimura hrm. Yes, that's true. C2E2 had a local bakery who'd won Food Network challenge; arguably, THEY were the cute mascots...
  11. You guys, I am totally into this idea of a creator-owned properties convention. Comics, toys, music, fashion...food? Mm.
  12. @kyubikitsy @ToshihikoKimura @ShivaeStudios re:comics, personally I'd love indie/web ppl anthology so I can sample large group of work.
  13. @kyubikitsy @ToshihikoKimura @ShivaeStudios there's DesignerCon for vinyl. IMHO it could work, but needs some out-of-box thinking.
  14. @kyubikitsy personally would like to see con ONLY for creator-owned properties. Maybe stronger w/more than just comics. Toys, etc.
  15. @kyubikitsy uphill battle w/15-25yo, roughly, to convince them "it's not free" & "you can love more than one thing at a time"
  16. @kyubikitsy 2long for Twitter but I think it's delayed effect of internet culture shock. Younger kids more discerning, independent thinkers
  17. @kyubikitsy weirdly my best customers for original stuff have been a) comics creators (lol!) b) children under the age of 14. It's very odd.
  18. @kyubikitsy FWIW it's not just anime cons. At general cons have experienced ppl just want to hang out, if they buy it's only fandom stuff
  19. I'm eating Pez out of Thor's head right now. Just thought it was worth mentioning
  20. Got a weird email just now from someone who wants to pay me for a "text advertisement" on my site. Nothing re: for what. Uh, think not.
