Share Opinions!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen:

Welcome, welcome...! :applaud:

You're not the first, and hopefully not the last... No weirdness, no betrayal, nothing wrong with being enamored with another culture... Diversity is educational and cool... :thumbsup:

Pull up a chair and get to know everybody...! :D

It's just that people I know think that it's odd that I'm in love with the Japanese culture, but I really don't care much about what they think. Soon I'll be living in Tokyo and they'll envy me!

Only as weird as a white guy whose interested in Japanese feminist history, so I'd have to say nope.

I don't think you can betray a "race"...culture doesn't have anything to do with that anyway.

Welcome!

What's in it if the European Constitution gets the vote?

Doesn't matter, fucking french voted "No". 55% of "No"...
I'm so sad... I'm going to commit suicide...
:shamefulcry: :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry:

yeah i saw it too, and now infact they r expecting a NO from the dutch also.

in fact with these 2 No's they were also talking of a snowball effect for the rest of the countries who have to vote still.

AHAHAHA, I paid $0 :P

Got Press Pass! It's awesome! I had the power to cut in front of everyone for music events and stuff. Although I think next year I'll probably play a more active role in the Asian drama stuff so I should be able to get some more free passes.

o0o0o, who played there?

Kumiko Kato was one. No one really big, just some new artist trying to make a name. I'm guessing anime expo would get the bigger names.

You mean 12 today? It ends on Monday so yea they might have been closing it down a little. Usually the people are all inside but there was a bunch of people on Saturday and I would assume Sunday as well. I didn't go Sunday so I don't know. I did go back today at like 3 to try to get some good deals from the vendors but the dealer room was closed and the dealers were packing up. However, I did get in anyways with my press badge and said I was here to help a booth clean up :hehe: :hehe: I ended up getting the Gokusen anime box set and 2 Gokusen jackets for $40! :woot:
