I am finally, and regretfully, home from AC.

It was so nice to see everyone again. It was especially nice to have so much time with , I miss you dearly my love.

It was nice not having to try and peddle my wares in the AA this year, I haven't taken a break since '09. This year I was being the consumer, and although it devoured my moneydollars vastly, it was all well worth it (especially given that I spent a good portion on my girlfriend :>).

I only got one commission at the con, which is a bit sad since I was hoping to get about 4-5 artists to draw for me. And I didn't get any of them I planned to. However, the fact that I got to commission (I'll scan and upload it soon, I promise!) makes me happy beyond belief. Never did I ever believe I would manage to get artwork from her D:

As the title says, people seemed to be getting engaged everywhere at AC this year (3 couples), including 2 the ranting gryphon himself. Every proposal that happened seemed to be well thought out/planned and I wish everybody that got engaged much luck in the future.

There were several first time experiences for me at this AnthroCon; two of which were food. I ate at Indian Spices, and enjoyed my spicy chicken tikka greatly. I also experienced the foodgasm that is Tonic this year. I regret not having gone there since my AnthroCon attendance began in '07. I literally think I shed a tear at how delicious the food there was. Another first for me was tattoos; not on me, my design is not yet finalized. was alone for most of the con, holed up in his room waiting on people who stupidly forgot to ADHERE TO THEIR APPOINTMENTS. So, on Saturday D-chan and I went up to hang out with him. Eventually, over the course of this visit D-chan got herself some ink! A tiny little thing, that I got to fill in some of :D I caused my girlfriend permanent physical scarring and she enjoyed it V:

To the people who I was supposed to hang out with and stuff, I'm sorry we never got to sit still and speak for very long D: There were a LOT of you this year so i can't even fathom everybody I should list here. That also goes for everybody I got to meet for the first time!

What drama did happen around me this year happened merely in my vicinity and never directly involved me. I can say I'm happy for that, but what drama still reared its ugly head was most unappreciated.

At any rate, I'm gonna try to relax now, and stave off this PCD. I shoulda bought booze tonight...
