What Being a Blogger is all About!

This weekend was one of my most busiest weekends in recent history. It seemed that I didn't get a wink of sleep from Wednesday night until Saturday. Most of the pressure was from shopping for a Halloween costume, from which I unfortunately report, was a bust again this year.

Here I am dressed up as my Broski, Zack Ryder. They didn't have the sunglasses though.

Well, now that the big ol Halloween celemebrations are over, I got to do one of the greatest things for a blogger, meet up with a fellow blogger. Susie over at Relentless Writings, aka Xanaxjunkie, and I met up at Karl Strauss in Costa Mesa. It was exciting for me because I have chatted with many people on the net over the years, across the country and the world, and I've only met a few of them.

The best part is to actually put a face and a voice to somebody you've been talking to for months and month. Every time I read her site now, It'll make more sense XD.

I hope to meet more of you guys in the future. I'm hoping to make it to Japan in the next year or so.

Pardon the ramblings

Here is a picture of me and susie, btw. That asian guy in the background was pretty weird sitting there and writing on his napkin.

Too bad more of you guys don't live closer so we could have a grand meetup. I would definitely love to have a Sakamoto Ryoma discussion with you if that ever happened.
Maybe we can all meet up in Tokyo one day!
It was great meeting you... now that I have internet again, I can actually blog about it now. It was strange being at such fancy ass places and them trying to charge you an arm and a leg for internets.

I hope to meet other bloggers when I can. Also the humidity did amazing things to my hair :$

Ugh... I feel the same way every time I go to vegas. I just want to check the email, not download a movie. You don't need to charge 20 bucks for 2 days of internet! Thank god I have a smartphone now so I don't have to look for a starbucks.

I really want to head up to your area sometime soon. I haven't done real nature in forever.
Yeah you have to come up, it's so nice. It's funny on the drive up just as we came up the hill and down into Camarillo you can feel the air is moister and cooler... but damn it if the whole weekend I didn't have nose bleeds and end up with my sister's flu.

I get nosebleeds all the time down here because of the dryness. I had a double header back in July. A nosebleed on each side at the exact same time. It was the most talented thing I've ever done!

I remember driving into Camarillo a few years ago. It really is a big difference once you get over the hill. Were there any hot air balloons while you were driving back up?
Not that I can recall. I was mostly napping and feeling all around ill on our drive back. We were going to stay Monday night but I just wanted to be sick in my own bed. The A/C in the hotels didn't help my sick and nose dryness much. :<

Looks like you two had fun. I suggest buying Halloween stuff in July...avoid the crowds ;)

That sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, for me, Halloween is kinda like Christmas where its a mad dash the day before to find something decent. But I have an awesome costume for next year!

Do you ever hit up the stores afterwards for the excellent discounts?
Nice.

I recently met a Twitter friend after a couple of years of knowing each other online. She was only in Japan for a few weeks and I think she was on a mission to give herself alcohol poisoning before going home, so the actual meet-up was a bust. But, have met a couple two times in the last two years, both of whom I follow on Twitter, and they're pretty cool, so win some, lose some.

Glad to see you guys had a good time hanging out.

I guess when you go to a different country and you know nobody will remember you after you leave, it works out well doing stupid stuff, I guess. I hear many people go for the alcohol poisoning when traveling there. I personally would love to see the sights. A couple of temples and maybe Shinjuku. Hokkaido would be nice too.
