I. Going there
1. Have you ever gone to an anime or sci-fi convention?:
Yes, anime
2. Are you planning to go to one in the near future?:
Fanime con! ...on Memorial Day!
3. You have been to 1-5 conventions?:
Total of two.
4. You have been to 6-10 conventions?:
Someday, I hope...
5. You have been to 11 or more conventions?:
It's a goal.
6. You rival Richard "Pocky" Kim in your con count?:
Don't know him.
7. You've been to a con for one day?:
Nope. First time I drove each day, second time I shared a room.
8. You've stayed all three days of a con?:
Hell yes. That's the way it should be done.
9. You've had more than 4 people in a hotel room?:
Not officially.
10. You've slept on the floor of the hotel room?:
No way.
II. Social Behavior
11. Have you met someone you knew online at a con?:
Not yet.
12. Are you now good friends with an online friend?:
No.
13. Are you now dating an online friend?:
No. But a friend of mine almost did once.
14. Ever glomped someone?:
No.
15. Ever been glomped?:
Nobody ever glomps me. I think I give an anti-glomping vibe, though I have nothing against being glomped and don't know why. ::dramatic sniffle:: Poeple I don't want to be loved, I guess...
16. Ever have a fangirl/boy moment?:
In the elevator, just me and this guy in a Final Fantasy X Wakka costume that involved a mostly-naked chest, staring at each other. But I didn't even know who his character was, so it was mostly just a boy-drooling moment.
17. Was it over yaoi/yuri?:
No.
18. Cons are the extent of your social activity?
No. Because then I would do one social thing a year, and sometimes not at all. Which would be even more depressing than I already am.
19. People know who you are, even if you don't know them?:
No. I'm can't even attain coolness amongst fellow geeks.
20. You're a FansView Con Personality of the Week? :
No.
III. Cosplay
21. Ever cosplayed?:
Once, half-heartedly, so much so that no one even realized that I was in a costume.
22. Worn 2-3 costumes over a con?:
No.
23. Worn 4-5 costumes over a con?:
No.
24. Hell, you're changing costumes every other hour (6+ costumes)?:
Nope.
25. Do you bring a camera to photograph cosplayers?:
No, but I do like to look at them.
27. Won an award?
No.
28. Been complimented on your costume?:
See answer to question # 21.
29. You're recognized by your local fabric store employees?:
No. But my local Mexican restaurant knows me.
30. You take commissions?:
Oh yeah right. If I don't have the time for my own, how could I make someone else's?
IV. Life At A Con
31. You usually stay up past midnight at a con?:
Heck yeah.
32. ...Past 2AM?:
Yeah.
33. ...Past 4AM?:
I have, but I try not to.
34. Sleep is for the weak?:
Depends on what's showing in the screening rooms.
35. You like Pocky?:
Never tasted it.
36. You've gotten sick of fast food by the end of the con?:
I don't eat fast food. I eat a lot of junk food though. And I sometimes go out and buy food, though I don't like to step off hotel grounds until the con is over, if I can help it.
37. You've gone broke from eating hotel food?:
No, but I'm still wary of making that mistake.
38. You've survived off Ramen the whole weekend?:
No. But that's a good idea.
39. You've blown at least $100 in the dealers room?:
Everyone does their first time. It's an initation thing! No one's a real fan until they've busted obsene amounts on fandom crap they don't need because it's so pretty and oh, it calls to us, my precious, yes it does, and we wants it...
40. You've managed to spend nothing in the dealers room?:
Oh, sure. And I have some bridges for sale, if you're interested in an investment.
V. Everything Else
41. You hang out regularly with con buddies?:
No. My social life on that end has been wavery since high school. To do so more would be good, though.
42. You go to school/work with con buddies?:
Not anymore, really.
43. You drive more than an hour to see con buddies?:
Nope.
44. You preregister for cons?:
Yes. Cheaper that way.
45. You plan months ahead for the next cons?:
Yes. Well, I think about it but don't actually do anything until the night before except save money.
46. You've driven more than 6 hours to get to a con?:
Nope. Can't afford far away cons.
47. You've taken a plane to get to a con?:
Can't afford those either.
48. You've volunteered at a convention?:
Nope, but that would be fun.
49. You're staff of a convention?:
Nope.
50. You're starting your own convention?:
Not likely. But I'm happy to go to other people's.
