Your Favorite Annoying Teen

So...I am too much in a half coma still to actually do homework so I am going to give an update.

Other parts of yesterday.

THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE!!!
Apparently Sunday was the light day but there was a place where you could look down at the whole convention and it was huge and people were like a bunch of ants. There were something going on everywhere.

Naturally there was a crap ton of comics. Tina must have hunted through bins half the time looking for specific ones she needed.

I just had fun people watching. There were a lot of anime cosplays since the anime scene is huge. There the classic star wars, some Watchmen, batmen, the flash....lots of people in tight clothing (men in Spandex is really really awesome) and at least three Poison Ivys that I saw. Some of the cosplays were hired I think.

There was a TON of free stuff. Really you didn't even have to buy anything if you didn't want to. My purchases ended up being a Gotham City Police badge pin to go on my pin hat, a graphic novel by the woman who wrote Persepolis, Marjane ... called Embroidery, Monologues for the Coming Plague by Anders Nilson another graphic novel, and finally a good practice sword. It is a katana but I am happy with it. It was $10 and a pleasant weight and I don't feel like I will break it when I wield it. I now have three practice swords beside my bed at Wells and one display sword at home...though really I want to move on to maces and bashing weapons.

Other cool stuff...The Wizard booth! The guys there were so cool. They teach you how to play D&D and Magic and all. The DM of our game was pretty funny and enthusiastic and did voices and everything.

Notes:
*I need to go to a fantasy convention. Comic books are somewhat overwhelming when THERE ARE SO MANY!!! I am simply not nerdy enough for the comic crowd.
*I am not so much in to the super hero comics or anime. I like the graphic novel sort of style or Cyanide and Happiness (they were there but I didn't end up seeing them). I am still exploring the realm.
*Anime is taking over. Period.
*Costumed people are awesome
*The Watchmen is FREAKING HUGE right now!!!
More notes to be added later when I am more conscious.

***Notes on New York City***
Never in all my gosh darn life should I learn to drive would I ever want to drive in that city. Holy bob traffic is TERRIBLE!!!
Buildings are tall and crammed together. There is stuff everywhere. I understand why my school is such a huge culture shock to NYC people.
The city seems to recycle itself. Every bit of space is used and none of it taken for granted.
The Lincoln Tunnel is gosh darn scary and claustrophobic inducing for a country gal the first time going in it. Yikes.
New Yorkers beep their horns a lot.
The architecture is pretty awesome.
The Javits Center is just awesome.
Time Square is serious sensory overload.
People at Comic Con at least were not nearly so discourteous as people in NYC are said to be.

Ben and I had a bit of a blow out.
My patience snapped and we were both really really on edge. I was tired of his inward dwelling sadness and not being able to anything about it. I was tired of being pushed away because it makes me feeling the conflicting feeling of wanting to hold on and run away at the same time. It makes me sad and angry at the same time. It makes me worried. It makes me even more crazy to have so many emotions pounding my system and then I get somewhat nasty when my attempts to bring it elsewhere or try to help fail. Lots of frustrated feelings result in me going KABOOM and saying things I should not.
I took him to the edge as well.
We came really really close to breaking up. Although in my mind there is not much of a difference between friend and lover. I think it is still at this sort of in between state.

I think my emotions just need a few days to rest peacefully.
I think I need to be more promptly honest rather than let things build up.

Yesterday was good for both of us. He had long talks with people and I had long times in thought without sound. He sounded a lot happier on the phone which I was glad for.

I think I do need some time to just be before I am asked any serious questions. I am content with interactions with him. I will talk to him. I just don't want stress right now.

I'll see if I can add any details to this later but for now I need to go to class.

Peace.
