It's been a while since I've been posting to LJ, and I feel kinda bad about it, because I really am neglecting this blog. :/ My new New Year's resolution will be to manage this blog and remember to update regularly.

This week has been hectic. 14th-15th were less busy, but full of people to celebrate my brother's and my own birthday, so, was good.


The rest of the week was spent preparing to sell some of my homemade amigurumi (info about that sometime later) along with my friends' prints and fanart at this year's Comic Fiesta 2009 (19-20 DEC), which is this huge anime/manga convention they hold every year. This year was AMAZING. And I managed to make quite a bit of money for my hard work put into my amigurumi crocheted SUSHI :DDDDD

Happy person am I! Not to mention the size and atmosphere of the event. I think it was a lot more enjoyable that last year! The fact that we had AWESOME neighbours (HEY THERE BOOTH ONEON! :D) made it better because we had a LOT of fun talking and being generaly otaku-ish with them.


I realized I'm very very distanced from my otaku-ism. And this made me quite sad because I love this bit of Japanese culture a LOT. And it was the thing that got me generally interested in Japan in the first thing, from the very first episode of Rurouni Kenshin that showed on TV who knows how long ago. ALSO, at CF09 this year, the first day was spent by me and my friends just wandering and buying LOVELY prints by some of the more famous artists of my country (many that I followed when I used to keep up with deviantART regularly) but generally not buying MUCH. But there was such GREAT fanart and stuff that people were selling and displaying, especially from K-ON and APH/Axis Powers Hetalia, I felt so LEFT OUT OF THE LOOP. So, what did I do?


After the first day, me and the girls came back to my place.

I proceeded to watch 30 episodes of Hetalia that night.

NO JOKE. :D I slept at four to keep my friend who was doing commisions company (and distracting her with Hetalia) and satisfy my otaku needs.

WHAT CAN I SAY? I am in love with this show. If you have no idea what APH is about, please, go watch it. It only has 48, 50-minute long episodes as of current, though the manga is longer. Long story short, it's AMAZING. An anime where all countries are depicted as boys/men. YEAH. I KNOW. Sounds odd? IT'S AWESOME. I am amazed at it, and am currently fangirling over it so badly. The timeline is around WWI and WWII and circles around the Axis Powers of Germany-Italy-Japan, and the Allied Forces: US-UK-China-Russia-France. It's INSANE and full of CUTE LOVE. Go google it. You will find a treasure throve of great things.



not to mention, it satisfies my bl/yaoi fangirly needs.

The next day of CF was A LOT better because I could see the amazingness that was Hetalia everywhere. And proceeded to get very broke by buying prints, badges/buttons, postcards, a notebook and a US/UK calendar. All of which are related to Hetalia =.=''. And very America biased, because I love him A LOT. :D A LOOOT.

I got 2 birthday packages in the mail this week, made me happy :D
