How kind... compliments are *always* welcome (I don't get many!)

	Well _I_ have. I've also sat through the entire Queen Millenium AFTER
Wings Of Honnainiase and Naussica (what WAS the programer thinking)

Aha! You've found one that I'm not familiar with at all... (Queen
Millennium, that is, which I haven't seen. I wonder if there's
even a copy in existence in the UK. Have to ask Dave Row about
that...)

When a few of the sleepier fans (it was 4AM) made some cracks to stay awake,

Oh lord, you've tried the Amazing All-Night Neverending Video
Programme too, eh? I've never done it at an anime con, but the
last comics con I was at had the Marx Brothers at 4am (don't
ask...)

I've insisted on sleeping in a room in the hotel ever since...

the Old-School rep blasted everyone telling us if we didn't like it we
could leave. I stayed as I found the story interesting (except the bogus
catapults versus spacecraft scene) That he had such respect for the film
didn't bother me in the slightest. That he was the LOUDEST wisecraker
during the Tenchi showing disturbed the hell out of me!

*sigh*

Unfortunately a person's age no longer has much to do with their
ability to be polite, and advancing years is no longer a
guarantee of courtesy... if it ever was.

	What annoys me are CERTAIN older fans, the ones I try and look up to in
respect for their years of expierence, who pat me on my head and send me
off to watch Ranma or Tenchi with a cookie (not that I mind TOO much, I
could do with a nice cookie right about now) I've been an Anime fan for
over ten years. I've made it a point to watch and find the glory in the
shows whitch precede and help shape the shows I'm watching now.

It's nice to know that somebody cares... and you beat in fandom
by 5 years, as I've only been an active fan for that long... Of
course, UK fandom is younger than the US variety.

BTW if you find the cookies, send me one - I'm hungry...  ^)^

	I'm an enigma of an Anime fan, I enjoy Leji Matsumuto as much as Rumiko
Takahashi (though I probably misspelled both) I enjoy subbed as well as
dubbed. Some Anime/Manga sucks and there's nothing that can be done
about it, but I refuse to let a series pass me by without at least
giving it a fair shot!

Oh, if only there were more out there who think like that. By all
means say you don't like something - but please, only after
you've actually seen it!

told him I was
dressed up as a CLAMP character.  

CLAMP?  ^)^  ^)^  ^(^  ^_-

	Yeah, I have a gripe about the younger (what's with this Harlock crap)
generation as well but that's for another post ;)

(I'm a naughty fanfic writer, a naughty fanfic writer!)  

In which case, where are your naughty fanfics?  ^)^
