Anime Nebraskon!

There are many things i can say about Anime Nebraskon. It was the first convention i every went to. It was the first real place i went with diabetes. But let me back up for a second. It all begins at school. Nothing more then a friend from anime club mentioning a convention moving to omaha and asking if i'm going. At the time it seemed more like a dream, actually going. But as a birthday present my dad gets my sister and i tickets. (As a present to me not her) About a week before going at the mall (where i almost began this story) I am reading manga when one of the workers comes up and we end up talking. She ends up bringing up nebraskon. After her friend shows up, we also find out that the random guy in the manga section is also going. That's six people in one spot. Amazing quwinkidink.

    All those good times and the con hasnt even started. When we do finnaly make it, it quickly becomes the best weekend i ever remember having. We already knew the place from being to the resort water park. Which is a really nice place. The people there were just as amazing. Everyone was friendly and entertaining. Of course i don't know why they keep giving them duct tape but thats another story. (lets just say Duct Tape amoeba) all the people i talked to were Great, though i mostly stuck with the people i knew (Just that first year though.) And when two of the staff members did the team rocket motto during the opening ceremonies, I couldnt imagine being anywhere else.
   The pannels, the reason you would go, were so much fun. The was hardly an hours time when i had nothing to do or nowhere to go. Anything and everything seems to happen there. Including Hello Kitty parties to martial arts demos. There is always something for everyone. It's somewhere i would suggest if you can go, you should. Check out there web site.   Google them. If you in the area and are interested in anime and manga, going is not something i've known anyone to regret.

P.S. if i had the chance i would have worn my crochet kimono around to propmote it and enter the contest they had this year for free tickets, but my photographry couldn't make it. she was also my ride around. I mentioned it in my anime iowa post (nebraskons better) Not that i haven't worn it around and talk about nebraskon but, getting free tickets for it would be nice.

Don't worry, there no vomit

well this will be short because i had something written then the internet crashed on me. Lame. I have a cold probably from non stop going for a week with minimum sleep. It seemed worth it at the time but dosent everything? And i talked about how my sister is afraid of diabetes and how even if she dosen't want it i do believe she has implied she would feel better about it if it was her not me that was diagnosed. I feel the same way, that im glad it was me and not her. I know im resilient enough, but then again she probably is too.
   I know from reading that kids with diabetes often grow up quickly. I feel that i grew up quickly too even though i wasnt diagnosed until i was almost 18. it still changes almost all your ways of thinking. I know it makes me feel like the expensive child. Sometimes it feels that umless we win the lottery (HA) that will always have my medical bills looming over us and still have to worry about affording next weeks supplies and food. I still rather have all that hanging over my head then hers though. Maybe it's just an older sisters way of thinking. Maybe it's my own way of being selfish. Because i still dont want her to have to help me with shots or anything else. Though i have made her get food for me when im low. It still amazes me how much my mom helps.
   I know if not for my mom i would have made it any where. It would be a lot more black and white to me without her. I dare to dream because of her. Love them both. going to go now BYE!!

Traveling and Anime Cons!

 I am finally going to do it. I am going to travel with diabetes. Going cross state with some friends to... AN ANIME CONVENTION!!!!! It's five count them 5 hours away driving. Without my amazing mommy there to help me. PANIC!! I'm so excited and happy though. it will be nice to get out of this house. CRAZY people live here. And not the good kind i like to hang with. Diabetes is hard enough without them.
  Anyway back to the topic at hand. This will also be the first time i will be far from back-up supplies. Scary thought. but i have friends that will make sure i bring enough stuff. YAY.  So far i have packed all the clothes/outfits packed. all but my p.j.s which i took out cause i can't run around the house in my underwear. Darn living with unrelated couple and their children.
 That's my suitcase, i have a night bag and a make up bag also. My bag has shoes that i may wear accessories and things that i may need to get to in the car(not done packing it) and the make up bag is holding all my diabetes supplies except for what will be in my purse. Most of whats left to pack is last minute everyday stuff. Wish me luck! Hope the big D behaves!
