As the title says, I started a conversation with a random stranger. This is extremely rare for me. In fact, I don't remember ever doing it before.
So, I was at a Starbucks, and I was just sitting down with my drink, when I saw this girl with the Attack on Titan Survey Corps emblem on her pants. Because she was in close proximity, and I had nothing much to do besides drink my green tea-type-thing, I said to her, "I like your pants."
We had a pleasant conversation. We talked about our favorite genres, though we didn't get deep into any specific anime. Turns out she's going to Anime Central, too. She told me that she would be cosplaying as a Naruto character.
"Which one?" I asked.
"An OC," she replied.
"So I guess I'll just look for the headband then," I said.
It might have been a little foolish of me not to ask what village emblem would be on her headband. Heck, I didn't even ask her name. Nor did I give mine.
ACen is a huge convention, so I don't know if I'll run into her. I hope I do. She seemed like a really nice person.
Guess who's up at 5 AM after only four hours of sleep? ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess who had nothing better to do than register for ACen? ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So... anyone else going?
How long has it been? Four months? Funny, it doesn't seem like Anime Central was that long ago.
I've abandoned that comic that I was trying to document my experience with. Still, I want to record my memories of the con before I forget it co...

Should've updated this on Sunday, but whatever. I had a great time at ACen. I'm working on my little badly drawn comic about it. I have two pages done. *Shot.* Well, I have a cover page, too. *Shot again.*
I'll post some pics on DA and link them here. Apparently the photos I took are too wide to fit on my World.
So I guess this update is more like a non-update. I'd tell my whole story, but I'd just be retelling it when I post the comic.
There are only a few more days until I go to Anime Central, and I am psyched! I bought all the pieces to my cosplay, although I still have to do a teeny bit of assembly. I'll take care of that tomorrow, along with a test run.
ACen is practically all I've been thinking about for who-knows-how-long. And it's finally happening. I'm gonna cosplay! And finally do stuff at a con besides wander around the merchandise booths! But I do plan on doing a bit of shopping. I have to load up on t-shirts because the only other place I know that sells anime-themed clothes is Hot Topic, and they're a bunch of art thieves. Sure, there's online, but I don't want to pay for shipping. After all, I AM GREED.
So, anyone else going? It would be freaky if anyone did, because in my 12 years of Internet socializing, I've never met an online friend in person before.
