List the things you accomplished at NDK this year...

- Doing an awesome Kino crossplay.
- Pictures of me as Kino dueling other gun wielders.

Hmmm, my main goals at this con were to count how many people recognized who I was on Friday (17!), protect mah bestest girl from being accosted by her ex (he behaved!), and participate in the karaoke contest. ^_^ I won the English portion of it, so...

Mission accomplished! It was a great con.

I personally think this thread is a great idea:

-The Forum Awards was my favorite thing to do.  I really enjoyed the turnout and I think a lot of positive energy came out of it.
-Getting in line early enough to see the AMVs and the Cosplay contest
-Starting the chants of "Zombie!" and "Go...Fox!"
-Actually buying something from the Dealer's Room this time
-Spending time equally between all of my friends
-Finding a good parking spot
-When one of the cosplayers top piece broke during their walk-on, shouting encouragement for them to continue and that everything was okay.
-Making it to every panel/event that I wanted to
-Productive time, less wandering this year
-Being able to actually provide a ride this year, instead of asking someone for one
-Staying for the whole NDK
-Not wearing my headphones or listening to music once
-Reading only 20 pages at a three day event
-Not sleeping during the daytime
-Making new friends

I think just BEING Fox is accomplishment enough, props to you, my friend, you really got some attention out there.

Thanks! That's partially why I put "making it to all my shifts on time" on there...I guess that excludes one time. Oh well! It was still good to actually get to cosplay a mascot this year!

The list is massive, and I have a tendency to ramble, so I'll just keep it to the basics.

-Had my own room, instead of mooching off someone else.
-Joined in on a lot more things instead of standing to the side, watching.
-Was very careful with purchases, only getting a couple things from the artists gallery/pavilion/area.
-Danced without reservation or self-doubt for the first time.
and the most important one for me:
-Did not feel alone in a crowd, as in previous years.

Whoot!
-Talked to two of my "friends" and didn't get punched by one of them.(long story there....)
-Gained an entire new group of friends
-started a new cosplay group.
-had more then a fair share of "breast examinations"......sometimes it's best not to ask.
-Had an entirely Square Soft/Enix convention.
-found a Cloud.
-actually had an atrium room, which the balcony was promptly decorated.
-had more pictures taken then I could remember.
and finally:
-not only brought Yuna out, but didn't fall over, get hurt or reveal anything. She even got pictures with her bahamut.
Love the life you're given, live it to the fullest!

Well it sounds lame, but dressing in my Ninja Monkey Master costume, with my stuffed ninja monkey(don't know, you may have seen me wandering), I got more hugs that my ninja monkey, unlike last year.  It sounds stupid, but made me feel pretty good to get more attention then a stuffed animal...wow that did sound lame...but oh well!
