Convention Adventures 002

[NOTE: Considering as last entry : Convention Adventures 001]

Hello. I once again went to another convention this week, trying to conquer again the Increasing Potential of the Nerd-Type Status. What new things did I see? Not a lot of things I could tell, but the awesome thing were the people where I was along. And also it was awesome to buy some things. I guess I will talk about the key points of this convention.

I was happy to be with some friends at one time and at another time of the day. First we saw what they sell: t-shirts, figurines, plushies, posters, manga books, anime series, trading cards and related stuff. Also sushi and other Japanese food, and pizza... Also the most noticeable thing: the cosplay they have the people in the convention. Most of it anime characters, but I think there wasn't a lot of people cosplaying, or I think I didn't recognize a lot of characters. There was no Naruto character, neither a Mario character. I saw one Link and one Pikachu girl. The pokemon cosplay were more noticeable: Team Magma cosplay, some person with a blue cape holding a Piplup, the new characters of the Black/Withe version..... Also then was Sakura from CardCaptors, some Japanese school dressed girls, and a lot of people from colors of black and red (I was in a red t-shirt so...).

As always, there were the cosplay contest, a karaoke contest, a drawing contest, a videogame place and a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament. Some person came who makes dubbing in series and movies. And there was a Touhou dancing (I guess it was part of the cosplay contest) where a lot of girls danced to Cirno's Perfect Math Class (one of the most amazing things happened in the convention, of course I like Touhou Series...)

Also the things I bought: I got one Pikachu plushie *Yay for my nerdy accomplishment*. When I saw it I remembered the aspect of the first Pikachu when appeared on the Game Boy Red/Blue version, some Zelda Poster and some keychain.

Now, the things I liked from going there. It was always a doubtful idea of going alone and only see things and do nothing interesting. Luckily I was with people I know and also they know me. School and other things were something hard to get along or difficult to talk because of the time, but when we are here, we could be anything more than a simple student or a normal person. Even so, I know the things we understand also we can get into consideration and say awesome things because they have appeared. Like Pokemon stuff, recognize the characters is awesome to share. Also when I get to know more people that my friends know. Nothing is getting low, only we need a perfect moment to be what we really are. Conventions are important in order to be more open to the real me and everyone could understand I'm no weirdo in the group of the Nerd-Type Attribution.

And so, after I thought I have saw enough I returned home. When a convention ends, I could get more Motivation Points to continue on course into the Adventure. Sharing the things with my friends one more time, we return to our duties and make homework due tomorrow...

-"It's awful there're no many moments like this, but when they come, the Nerdy Kind will be attracted by the awesomeness of the event.."
-"And you took photos of those of the Touhou girls..."
-"Touhou girls will be cool, and Pokemon also will be cool!"
-"Oh, so when will be training your 'captured' Pikachu?"
-"Huh, but I have 'other' Pokemon to train..."
-"OK... so it will be my pleasure to train your Pikachu!"*rushes at the Pikachu*
-"Wait..."
-"Oh, Pikachu! What a cute little one we have here, let me teach you some awesome moves and you'll be a powerful Pokemon you'll see."
-"Well..."
-"Oh, sure I can have it when you're occupied with your 'work', right?"
-"Well..., I t-think so..."
-"Of course, because you need time to train it..."
-"It's only a plushie..."

[By the way, most of Touhou characters are girls, and as you can see, my Nerdy Part can be nerdy at some times... *weird as it seems*]

A "Perfect Friend" and a Second Chance

    Friendship, I don't know exactly why I still gather information about it. It seems that I'm so obsessed about having friends who share their thoughts to me and be with me all the time, someone who has the same activities like me and being along to all places I go. My vision of friendship was in a certain way wrong, confusing, not understandable, weird…. I considered that being with a friend will get me more into knowing more about friendship: sharing things and ideas, experiences and activities of life.
    The problem was, they don't seem to share most of it with me. I could see it, those who I consider as friends, sharing more things to the other people, getting into the detail more, giving the time with them, and other similar things. Maybe they share the most important points; maybe they believe I won't give a good response of its awesome activities; maybe I’m not his best friend, only a friend of the moment, or maybe I don’t have something good to share or an interesting thing to comment.
    “They are always the same.  They have the same behavior: being silent with me, not saying something when we gather in a place, talking things I guess they don’t know what to say, because maybe that’s not the thing they want to talk or maybe their normal activities are not for my ears to listen….”  Those were the words I conclude of all the gatherings I had with my friends. And I was trying to say something at that moment, something appropriate, similar to the conversation we were having now, to get the attention of my friend, to let him know my friendship is good and innocent. Nothing came to my mind, and they would say I was a timid boy, a boring person, someone whose life would not get the attention of anybody…, I don’t know if my life would be interesting, or worth of tell.
    But, the thing is, they’re right. My life has little interesting things to share; I was poor of experiencing activities of life; my experiences of life were inferior to those of great notoriety. It’s confusing, because I don’t get quickly what things they like, and if I share those things they like, or something similar, would they get the idea of my sharing? So time got on me, but at that time I could finally know what things I could share, and get the confidence of sharing with my friend what I really like. But when thing happens happily, they would expand their horizon to the world and sees something better….
    “They are always the same. They have the same behavior: finding other person, being in the group or in the same moment. That person joins in, and we have a fresh start, but the circumstances of life make a radical change, and the friend’s position get the attention more on the new person he has joined in. Maybe he knows that person in some place I didn't know, but new events would end in an awful moment….”  Those are the words I got when I know I have lost a friend. And I defended my position of getting the idea of being friends, overcome the situation we were facing and getting again the attention of my friend, to let him know my  friendship was still worth it, and I would never leave that. My defenses were broken, and I got hurt, because of that silly situation that wasn't so important; exaggerated the situation and blame the damage to them. And they could think I’m a perfectionist for a friendship….
    Unfortunately, they’re right again. Those little things they did to me and didn't know they would hurt me would broke my emotional control and end a good friendship, because they acted like children and made a bad joke on me, didn't say sorry of that and ignored the situation… or because they didn't consider that friendship as such, or because they were wandering in their own minds, blocking a friendship they didn't want, or because they leave the state of moment of life unexpectedly, or because they didn't know that friendship was so important to me. That, because I only wanted to be with somebody at recess….
    But all those conclusions made me think friendship it’s not about being perfect in finding something they would not hurt you once and being mad at him. It only occurred once, and others were because of misplacement of moment, or an end of a stage. But other than that, those were the friends I had at that time. Other people didn't become friends of mine, so the maintenance of friendship wasn't practiced a lot. Only if they had taught me or tell me what would be having a best friend beside you at that time.
Also, those made me think I could give a second chance on anybody I knew in past times, if they wanted to at least talk with me, or give me a message or other things if they have at least five minutes of their time.  Give a second chance of those who had leaved the space of moment, and get there. Because, when I lose contact with a friend, I find difficult to talk with him again, even I want it so, I could get afraid of see what is going to happen. So a second chance is also a new opportunity to me to get in contact to people I know and I want to talk to him, so they can see that in the time I was so shy to talk to that person, I have a strong interest of knowing him more.


“- A second change means telling the people I’m not as shy as I used to be.”
“-And also to see you’re not the Mr. Perfect guy who didn't want to cry because of those shocking events….”
“-I was afraid at that time, but I didn't want them to be concerned on me….”
“-But now everything has changed, you have overgrown in time those moments…”
“-And what if I make somebody happy?”
“-I don’t think they would get the attention that way….”
“-Mmmm, but why I can’t select my own friends? I think they could be awesome if they were friends….”
“-Maybe they don’t consider that the same. Also the circumstances would not be appropriate….”
“- They only don’t have time for me. It’s not fair…”


     I know I could be friends of anybody of the same sharing of ideas and also I could give the time on them if they consider the position I offer, only they need to understand I’m shy, so if you can get into my shyness, you will obtain my real personality. Also it would be fine not having any friend, because I spend emotional energy to maintain that friendship, if I don't get the retribution, my energy gets low, so a not refundable friendship is exhausting to me. But friendship is needed, because of the energy flow. Having not friends is fine, but the energy flow will not happen properly. Having friends will get fresh and positive energy, spendable to enjoy the best moments of life.
