Caffeine. That was my Colossal-con weekend in a nutshell.
I brought 8 2-liters of Mountain Dew with me, and when the dealers room opened we were greeted with a sight that brought us close to tears.
Bawls.
The first dealer that was visible when we walked in those doors had Bawls on their table.
I feel I must explain, I had got without caffeine/super sugary products such as Mountain Dew and Bawls for at least a month before the convention, and this was to be my last big weekend before an even bigger cutback on sweets and other things my doctor warned me about. Super high cholesterol and triglycerides.
But the Bawls called me so strongly, so we bought them 2 cases of Bawls. 48 bottles, added to what was brought up by my friends we had 50 something.
Other than all the great food products (Ramune, Pocky, Giant Pocky, Bawls, Botan Rice Candy, ETC.)
the Convention wasn't all that fun. The anime and Manga selection was fairly limited compared to other conventions I have gone to.
But the weekend was still fun, better than helping me family put shingles on the roof.
You may have noticed I have deleted all of my other posts, there is a reason.
When I type, I ramble. When I ramble, I lose track of what I am talking about. Right after I finish typing I feel a sort of adrenaline rush of relief that I got something off my chest, but when I read it later it seems so.... juvenile. What I once thought was good, or at least okay, seems petty and riddled with incomplete thoughts and my erroneous grammar makes me sick.
So I deleted everything.
So, life. Life goes on the same as it always has. I have so much I need to do and I can never get around to doing it.
Oh, but Ohayocon planning is under way! My goal, and I WILL meet it, is to bring at least 2 cases of Bawls. Now that I have finally gotten the hang of convention going, I shall enjoy myself immensely. Panels, Gameshows, Cosplay! Instead of sleep one can watch anime, and Video Games! Have to bring a TV though. =-/
I think this will be wrapped up now, I am going to go play Shining Force on my PS2, Go Action Replay!
