In the s4 club while we were waiting for the Bride party , I kept hearing so the 90s pop songs that I used to enjoy back when I was young. Sigh, I am old.

First and last time on wearing low cut top
I promise myself I will never dress such a revealing dress ever in my life.
So my friend insisted in going to S4 the dance club last Saturday. Since he asked me to find the latest costume looking costume from my set, so I picked the short skirt with the low cut top. I've never worn that set of clothing in the public before since I tend to think that my back doesn't look good. But, again, this was the closest I could get.
Interestingly, I was both glad and disappointed that only one person came by trying to hit on me. But then maybe it's because I had my friend around and guys usually hit on single ladies.

Bad make up started my bad day
I am still introspecting trying to figure out why I didn't have fun at A-kon this year.
I think it started with terrible make up. I don't do make up well in general, but the one I did on last Saturday morning was terrible mainly because the room I did my make up at was too dark. The light source, which was the sunlight at the back reflecting on the mirror I used didn't gave me a clear image of my face. As the result I applied way too much make up and it was way too dark. By the time I realized that it's too late, and I only got enough time to slightly decrease the damage.
And then my wig was too tight. Actually I shouldn't wear the wig I worn cause it wasn't look good on my face. So I felt like I was like a freak. The negative self-awareness made carry a grumpy face, which did help in an occasion that was all about being socialize .
Finally, somehow, I felt like I don't enjoy crossplaying among teenagers anymore. There's such a big generation gap that I really found myself not fitting in.
Anime convention is like a high school experience with anime skin. I also realize that , just like in high school, if I am not attending panels, there is still not much stuff that I really enjoy doing at anime convention. It's just like when I was in highschool I didn't do much other stuff besides taking classes. I also don't find much common stuff to chat with my fellow Cosplayers, just like there's not much conversation between me and my classmates back when I was in high school.
So basically there's not much imporvement on me. I was an anti-social geeky guy back in the high school, and I was an anti-social geeky cosplayer in the anime convention.
Now that I realized this, I should put a stop on attending these conventions.

A-kon 20: Long lines at registration and mean people
I cannot believe that I totally forgot what made me unhappy at A-kon 19 last year. Now I remember it: it was the freaking long line at registration. I was reading the notes I took on my iPod Touch while I was waiting in the on site registration line. Very stressful considered that I had to carry a comestic case and a heavy bag with my Tablet PC in it.
Maybe I was in bad mood, but people around me seemed less friendly compare with last time. Sure, teenagers love shit talking, but boy some of them did have shit spreading from their mouth.
So let me give myself a note-to-self: never come to A-kon again.

Elder people
Somehow only elder people asked me to take photo at A-kon 20 this year. I guess the blue fighter costume looks either too old fashion or too odd for the younger people.
Best iPhone instrument to play while you are waiting: Bass
Based on my experience on waiting in a ultra long queue at A-kon 20, the best musical instrument to play on iPod Touch (also apply to iPhone) is Bass guitar. Hands down.
I want to explain this as coincidence, but it's just too strange. When I drove to Dallas to attend A-kon 20, I took an exit and filled out my tank. It was a Shell gas station, and I was surprised that the price of regular grade was just $2.089 per gallon. Considered that all the other stations I'd seen so far were at $2.2 or above, 2.089 seemed a very good deal.
When I got back to Houston from Dallas, I had a need to fill up my tank in the middle of the road again. I exited at 164, found a Shell gas station, and shockingly found that the price was also $2.089. In fact, based on the surrounding, I felt like this WAS the gas station I went to during my driving from Houston to Dallas.
Wicked.

Stronger
What doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Such an old saying, but so true, and really help you to get through some tough time of your life.

Doing laundry ... for A-kon 2009
Sometimes I can get too picky on cleanness. I am doing laundry now solely for A-kon as I want to make sure that everything I wear next weekend smells good :-> .
I am also syncing my iPod Classic now. The 4.5 hours Dallas trip need something to keep entertain me.
