T_T And all Sat my Hawkeye was being distant (you should be ashamed of yourself xD) and I was missing Hughes and people were making fun of my gayness and ET finger. ;_; It wasn't a very fun con. And then SUNDAY was just ugh...
Glad I still saved your butts, though. >_> I just about had to bust mine. I was actually brushing the Winry wig in the elevator. XD
