Conventions anyone? Anime Next / Otakon

So this coming weekend, I'll be going to my first con of the year.
This week is going to DRAG ON so MUCH. T_T
But anyway, I was just wondering if any of you were going to be there?
It would be cool to meet up with a few guys from TheOtaku. :)

A few friends and I have a room at the Double Tree Somerset Hotel. We will be getting there Thursday around 3:30, 4:00.
Hopefully we can take a dip in the pool to relax a bit.

And then, next month, there's Otakon, which I think is by far, my favorite.
For that, I'll be staying at a friends house, and she lives about ten minutes away, which is nice.
The only down side to Otakon, is that I suck with maps, and get lost often. XD
But it's, cause it's just awesome!

Let me know which cons you guys may be going to!

Anime and manga habbits...

Someone had asked me why I am picky with what kinds of anime I watch, they said it was odd.
But them saying it was odd that I was picky, was really odd to me.

One needs to be somewhat picky in order to find things that they enjoy, right?

Something has to be able to catch my interest quickly in order for me to enjoy it. To me, the animation also counts. If I think that the animation sucks, then I just won't give it the light of day, no matter how many people have said it's amazing or what not. That may seem odd, but it's just the way I am.

For instance, I used to enjoy watching the Naruto anime, but I can't seem to stand watching the new Shippuuden episodes, mostly because the animation isn't the same at it used to be, and it seems rushed.

When I read manga, like Ouran for instance, right away I felt that if the anime wasn't up to par with my "standards" I wasn't going to ever want to finish the anime. But Ouran is actually one of the anime that I do love, and I think it did the manga justice.

I like both the Fullmetal panic anime and manga or I only watch the Inuyasha anime. My habbits are odd.
But it's just my preference.
What about everyone else?
Anime, manga, or both. Which one floats your boat?

Also, does anyone have any ideas that I should write about.
Let me know!
