As you LJ folk know, I am off travelling for a year and I'm currently going through and getting rid of a lot of my stuff (so that I don't _completely_ take advantage of my parent's generosity, and attic space ( Read more... )

Time to update this, really ( Read more... )

Yesterday Jon and I booked our Round the World trip. Not only did we get every stop we wanted, but we managed to get a free overland part of the journey in NZ and a free trip to Hong Kong added on :D!

It was great to see everyone again, and get to know some others better like Donna and Nert, as for me the conventions are all about seeing my friends really. AmeCon yet again lacked that certain something, the thing that makes Minami so great? I don't know what it is, maybe the ( Read more... )
