I'm just trying to stay in Cali, and maybe go to CSU Bakersfield as a safety school because my cousin goes there. But I want to shoot for USC. Meh. Probably not going to happen even with all the sleepless nights these classes will mean for me. And I'm thinking of running another marathon, but is that going to be enough to get them to want me just from my personal statements?

G'day G'day all, had some questions regarding this convention i was looking at, for starters, how much does it cost? (per person), does one gotta cosplay to attend or can one just go as is?, and finally anyone got any advice for a first timer? (if i did choose to dress up)

You might run into those people again if you go this year. ^_^ The only people I know that will be going (besides my brothers and one bro's friend who are rooming with me) are a couple girls I went to ACen with. The downside to knowing people there, is that I won't try to talk to strangers. I walked around Anime Detour alone most of the time, not talking to anyone. I ran into one of the girls I went to ACen with (I had met her before Detour) and we hung out a bit. At ACen, I wasn't really walking around alone... When I was alone, I wouldn't talk to anyone. I might volunteer at AniMinneapolis, just to force myself to talk to others. XD

I've already responded to several topics but I guess it's time to actually introduce myself. Hello everyone. Hope to meet other fellow anime fans. I shall be attending AX 2012 in a few days so I hope to enjoy another year of it. I'm already excited on what's to come ^_^b

HI! There is absolutely nothing going on..except there's Metrocon and EXPcon? I think..those are the only cons in the area. Omg..-squee- another Floridian cosplayer..I am not alone..

welcome bro! definitely the site you want to be at if you consider yourself a true otaku! i joined last week and have seen that this community is really welcoming :D enjoy your time here and make sure to tell your friends about it too! im sure we'd all love for this community to grow even bigger with each passing day

I'm moving up to Missouri for college and hope to find some friends around here >,< I'll actually be living in a smaller town called Aurora, but it's not very far from Springfield and Springfield if where I'll be attending classes (psychology major ftw). Anyone else around this godforsaken area? XD

With the Navy, the most discipline you'll ever see is in the first 2 months (boot camp). After that, you'll just have to exercise the stuff you'd do anywhere else. That discipline involves showing up on time for work, making sure your uniform is on point, staying healthy, and being able to do the right thing even when no one is looking. As far as what the Navy is like, there is just so much to say about it. Its like a roller coaster in the sense that you'll experience some of the highest highs and lowest lows in your life with the pace constantly changing, and see some of the most amazing things in the world that many people that stay in the states are oblivious to.

I'm pretty good at digging stuff up from the internet graveyards, but there isn't anything I can do if the grave has already been emptied. >< I did find a pretty good clue that you can build upon if you didn't know this already. The user who uploaded the video went by the name "catz424" and the link WAS "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AjlrkAbvCc" and description WAS "i am well happy with this one lol! i think its gone really well, thanks agen to lauren nd a special thnx to sarah ( metalmiss) who was here when i made it n helped witht he edits ! plz rate n coment" good luck! any other requests?

Nice to meet you miss. Being new here, I'm just browsing around these different forum threads. Good luck with finding that Mr. Right cause I'm continuing my search in looking for Ms. Independent =P ...from what I've noticed is that this website isn't so active in the first place.
