Ycon 2005: Thursday

So, I got 4 hours of sleep, but we got to the airport at 10:30am, and we actually made it onto the 11:30 flight!!! Angelica and I were each sitting in the middle seat of the middle aisle of our respective rows, so we weren't sitting together, but she was sitting right behind me.

I watched anime! Although I didn't get to watch up to episode 47 of Bleach like I wanted to (I'm up to episode 38 right now, I believe), I did start watching Full Metal Alchemist! I saw up to episode 6 on the plane, before my laptop battery got down to 20% and I didn't want to keep it on any longer. But I watched two more episodes today, and I really, really like it! Ed and Al are cool and angsty and awesome, and I like them.

The plane landed around 2:30 and after bumping into Jana upon entering the hotel, luckily, we were able to get into Christine's room, even though she was out and about in Chinatown at the time. We dumped our stuff and went to meet up with jana1x2x1, merith, hyanan, and several others to Japan Town to meet up with zerotwofan, dc_logan, Susan & yaoichick, and others! We spent lots of time in/near the Kinokuniya in the mall there, then went to Iroha for dinner (which was omg yummy yummy food).

I do so love Ycon; it's the only chance to get together with all these people! Oh, we do have so much fun and laughter together!

Ycon 2005: Friday

We woke up at 8am in order to meet the group for breakfast at 9am at our hotel's restaurant. We were in a large group of 15, and then ravynfyre joined us, so it was 16. Hanging out with them all was really cool, and I had a really nice conversation with hyanan toward the end of breakfast, which was cool. =D

Afterwards, everyone split up to go to several destinations in SF. Angelica and I went back to the hotel room 'cause we were expecting Nicky at around 11am. While waiting in the hotel room, we watched two more episodes of FMA, so now I've finished 8. I really do like the series very much! Sharon mentioned a fic that she'd read, a sort of crossover, where Duo is in the FMA universe, which I'd love to read, which I'll have to remind her about so she can find/send me the link.

Nicky showed up a little later than we expected -- some time after 12, I believe. We hung out in the lobby for a while (free internet connection for wireless laptops!) and then Nicky showed up. We took her stuff upstairs and then went out to go eat. We came back to get our badges and such (expedited by the wonderful head of registration, Ravynfyre), and then went out to SF to go get my nose pierced!

There's a place on Haight and Masonic that is highly recommended by Nicky and her piercer at Sub Q in Sacramento, called Mom's. We had a hell of a time getting parking, but finally found a 30-minute-limit meter and ran over to get me pierced, and made it back just in time for the 30-minute mark! Vaughn was the guy who pierced my nose and he was really cool in going over aftercare stuff with me (although I know most of what he tole me already). Surprisingly, it didn't hurt all that much! I think it hurt less than my conch piercing, certainly less than my industrial. My left eye did water, but that was mostly it. For the first half hour, I felt the end of the L-shaped stud up in the back of my nostril, and it felt pretty darn odd. After that, the sensation went away (or I just didn't notice it anymore), bute every time I tried to yawn, it would feel a bit sore and the feeling of soreness would interrupt my yawn, so that I couldn't complete it. Only when I get tired enough to be unable to resist completing the yawn, am I able to do it.

Now, every so often, in certain positions, I feel the end of the stud in the back of my nose, and it feels like I've got something up there that I really want to get out. And then I remember that it's the stud. So yeah.

Gotta go get on line for the bishounen auction now, but will return with more Friday reporting (and maybe some pics!) later.
