Youkoso!

"Welcome!"

I'm so excited to have a new Blog: a clean slate. I'm always so bad at staying dedicated to these things, especially when I hate everything I write. I feel like my Blog needs more of a purpose than simple rambling. So my purpose? To document things! Well, more that than just rambling.

So, let's get it started. I suppose the most logical place to begin would be this past weekend's big event: Otakon!

Thursday evening we went to pick up our pre-reg. It was my first reality check of how much we'd be walking all weekend. There was a funny building across from our parking garage (where we parked for free! (hence all the walking)). It said "BROOM CORN." So we walked and walked (luckily it was the only grossly hot day) all rushedly and finally got to the BCC. There was virtually no line, so getting badges was a cinch. It was harder to pick them out! :O Especially since they always use a bunch of anime that I haven't yet seen (or even heard of). None of them looked all that awesome either. I ended up choosing #1 (Paprika) because it intrigued me. I watched the trailer earlier and it looks potentially really awesome!! So.. gotta see that when it's on dvd! I think the badge makes a nice little addition to my collection. Anyway, after we got that business out of the way, we went to Uno's for dinner. Omg, the service SUCKED. We hated our waiter lol. I mean, if the food was just a little bit slow or if it was really busy (which it absolutely wasn't), I wouldn't blame him, but he treated us like barely an afterthought. It took about 10 minutes just to get our drinks. Gosh. But we gave him a crappy tip, so that helps. Onto the food!

My best friend and I both got raspberry iced tea, which, as she put it, "tasted classy."

We got some potato skin appetizers. You can tell just by all the grease that they're horrible for you haha. Of course the picture would have looked nicer if I took it before everyone dug in, but I forgot.

Here's my Honey Crisp Chicken salad! The "Small" size, which was actually pretty realistic.

Closer-up.

And I think I'm going to take a break and probably continue my Otakon weekend in a different post. Otherwise this will get very lengthy.
