Hi dears, anyone going to the Dokomi in Düsseldorf this year? I'll be there, probably with some friends, but the more the merrier, so let's join forces :D

For me it's talking to other people who have the same hobby, interest or music band that will get the conversation started. From there out the conversation can just keep rolling. From those things you can learn. Showing interest in the other person always helps and be sure to actually listen when you're in a group of people, so you can ask for details when you're talking directly to that person.

Welcome to Mai :D Keep on singing, the world is in dire need of good vocalists ^^!

Watched it on cartoon network every chance I took in my childhood, but now that i'm an adult I have the anime on dvd and looking forward to see what going to happen next in FLCL. XD

Inter_change - I did similar, but I attended a lot of cosplay panels since that's my biggest interest at cons. It's hard for me to start conversation, but easy for me to avoid it. My worst convention experience however, was when I had to deal with an ex-friend who went to a con and free-loaded the entirety. Firstly, we had to drive her up, with her last-minute asking us for a ride, then she bummed the reg money from us, then she got a chunk of money from another friend because that friend had found some on the ground (we went to lost and found and they couldn't do anything about it, so she kept it). Then that friend ditched us for the whole weekend without a trace, not even coming back to the room or giving us heads-up about her condition. Not even a "thanks for the free night at hotel and money and etc." She ended up crashing with a another set of friends, which she was previously kicked from for the same reasons. She is now out of con circuits because everyone kicked her from their groups, at least last I heard. I haven't talked to her since. Oh, and the only way we were able to contact her was through the other group of friends' phones. We waited an extra hour to leave the con when we were updated "oh, she already left with them."

For anyone interested I'm running a dating Discord sever cause well i guess i get kind bored plus keeping up with the chats on here is kinda a bust. CHECK IT OUT https://discord.gg/C5A88ge PS: I'm looking for admins

Thanks Yea it just a random poem came to thought of a friend who whined on what she wanted.

Children of the Starlight Sea December 27, 2016 | Andrew Ó Catháin Drifting aimlessly through the dense thick fog that is my memory, I feel as if the ground beneath my feet, my reality; is slowly being transfigured with each weakened step. My consciousness a quicksand, myriad of rage and reason. I am a child birthed by the vortex of thought, connected to the luminous moon by fate; my only anchor to my primitive soul. Ever so scintillating in her captivating glow, she is increasingly bright tonight. I obey her willingly with all that I am, all my discord and balance. I am we, children of the lost. We all exist in this void, thousand man multiplied, screaming forth in our rapture. Vagabonds are we, the wandering children of these shattered heavens. Celestial beings, remnants of the scattered starlight sea; carried far by the winds of fate and time. We are all the chaos young. We are feral, frenzied and explosive. The darkening brought on by the great eclipse of comprehension. We have fallen, we are the intrinsic rain of undiluted passion. We have all descended from our cosmic home, yet we are still all so very heavenly. Madness woven in sublime reason, dripped and dyed in yearning. We are all calculating, all trapped in the dementia of our own creations. We these little dark children, always on the verge of ecstasy, our nova; our mental climax. We are true cataclysm, we are our own apocalypse. Neither good nor evil, we have consumed both, raised by both; the devourers of all. We are the destined children of infinity, blazing brightly with the intensity that is all eternity. We are the black broken fragments of the once resplendent heavenly bodies. We are now the consumers of knowledge, life, reason, love and hate. We are both life and death, joy and pain. We exist now as both the discord and balance of life itself. Madness ever unfolding within us, the brood of all thought. Tags: Balance Belief Emotions Philosophy Reason Spirituality http://www.aocathain.com/single-post/2016/12/27/Children-of-the-Starlight-Sea
