well here it is... i'm blogging, again, something i never thought i'd do again. but yeah, things need to come off my chest, and well... yeah. i could write in my RS blog, but i figure if no one is going to respond to the entry, perhaps it will hurt less if no one knows its there. Yet that is still a blatant admittance that I have no friends...

Well join the club, pull up a chair. ^^; But I think I'd rather be friendless or ignored instead of having people be nice to me only when they want something from me. Which has been happening lately. So I'll see your *bleh* and raise you a *meh.*

As for selling the cels, I can only suggest breaking them up into smaller groups. It can be intimidating to buy into a large lot of cels, no matter how cheap they are. Maybe you can find a local anime convention where you could sell them? Cons are a great place for impulse buyers and if the table rental isn't too high that may be the way to go. Honestly, I've had more luck selling my stuff (my own art mostly) at the local cons (and Anchorage is very small market) than I have online.

Yeah, I have/had a 'friend' decide they only need to talk to me/hang out when they need something from me. Oh Laura, I need some help moving... oh Laura I broke my Halo 3 disc can I borrow yours... oh Laura I need work clothes for tomorrow and the laundry mat is closed, can I use your washer and dryer. Yet any other time they ignore any communication w/me. It's annoying. So I do spend much of my time alone w/my 2 cats.

And the cels... I tried selling them on eBay individually... Items I paid $25-$60 for couldn't even get a $.99 starting bid (w/no reserve). So I thought I'd try a huge lot. I wish I had the nerve to do a Con alone. I'm really not sure I could do all the setting up alone, not to mention dealing with the people alone. I'm not sure but I think the most local con for me is about an 1-2hr (one way) drive away. I live in such a Podunk little town in Ohio 4,300 people and we're the largest in the county. LOL. It is something to consider though, for right now the items are back up in my gallery under their old

Ah, but how can you feel lonely in an election year? *lol* Except you can't turn on your TV until after Nov. 4th.

I wouldn't say I'm the most extroverted person. . . in fact I think I've been called *reserved* a time or two. I almost always end up doing table sales at a con by myself. . . I just put on my game face and soldier on. But getting that first in-person sale is kind of exciting. You'd definitely have to weigh the expense versus the return though. At the local conventions here the table rental is really cheap so I only have to factor in around $25 plus gas. So I don't have to worry about doing spectacularly well. . . it's when I travel by air that I angst about sales.

Oh yes the election year, is so much fun... I always have OBama or McCane with me in my living room. Though it does require a lot of showering since I usually end up caught in the cross-fire of the mud-slinging. o.O

On the con front you are so much braver than I am... ^_^ Though I think your talent with watercolors is defiantly something to give some courage/ability to put on that game face. ^_^

I don't really have any friends I hang out with here, but I don't care about that
