Dear diary,
I've missed you! Sorry I don't update as much as I should. But here's a quick rehash of April, or at least the big things I remember ;) For the second time, I attended Anime Boston. I posted about it here. I went as Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls, but I felt uncomfortable in the skirt, so I changed out my cosplay. I want to go next year, but I really want to think and plan my cosplay. I don't want to throw it together at the last minute like I did this year and the year before.
But on a sidenote, I got to meet Wootinie!!! He's a gay video blogger/ writer for gaygamer.net. I'm not that big of a video game player anymore, but it's still nice to hear someone talking about the field. It's the same reason I follow the mathematician Vihart. He was very nice, a got a photo and he took one of me, but the greatest thing was he signed by shirt! I felt like a totally fanboy, and I wish I spent more than a couple minutes hanging out with him. But if he does another meet-and-greet next year, I hope to attend that one as well.
Another important thing to note: for the first time, I was in a gay environment and I was totally comfortable. You know I'm not the wing-wearing, drag queen kind-of-gay. Sometimes when I'm near people like that, I want to be somewhere else. It's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's just my sexuality is only a part of my personality. And for some of people - it's all they have so they flaunt it. I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself right, but it was nice to be in an area where it was ok to be gay (and let's face it, not every place is like that) but simultaneously, it was ok to be more than gay.
Moving on: school's done! I've gotten three grades: 2 A's and a B. I think the only two will be B's as well. Whoo!
On a sadder note, April 28 was the ad club competition. I was one of the presenters and once again, we came in last. But at least we got a higher score this time. Awesomely enough, the very next day I saw one of the judges at the local hipster hangout. We talked, and it was kind of nice. Sort of like a "what a small world!" kind of thing. I think that's everything. Although, I promise I've forgotten something important :)
Goodnight and love always,
Joe
