MONDAY: game over
It all ends
some when
The Monday morning merely consisted of me finishing my packing and going
to the cafeteria where the committee was waiting to receive people’s
hall keys and to give them back their deposits. Most of us, including
me, decided to hand a little more money over instead to claim our place
at Amecon ‘06. A quick ring and taxi journey saw me back to Leicester
station to meet up with my friend Mai-chan who I was staying with while
in town. All in all, a damn good anime convention. I was very pleased
and can’t wait until my next experience.

Rial quotes;
"I'm really not that weird... wait, yeah, I am that weird."
(in reference to Excel
Saga) "Forget the song, I just wanna vomit blood!"
"Neo
Ranga sucks!"
(in reference to things
she does to prepare for her voice acting work) "You drink Sprite...
it kinda lubes your mouth up."
(in reference
to her habit of acting things out in the studio) "God, if you guys
could see me, I'm retarded. Gah…" *slaps own wrist*
(after the whole BBFC
story) "I was going to England, where I can say words like ‘bloody’
and ‘bugger’"
(in reference to Hugh
David having to check through UK releases) "Darn it... boobs...
there goes our kid rating... that's gotta suck."
(in reference to Kiddy Grade) "I love working with Colleen,
because we're Eclair and Lumiere and we remind people of that every day."
(on the topic of dodgy
lines she and other’s have read) “With Hyatt I had to say
‘I've never ridden anything that goes up and down or in and out
before.’”
(when Princess
Nine was put on the video screen behind her and there was no sound)
"I'll just dub it." ^_^
Other quotes;
Will Blewitt doing
a prefect impression as the crowd mumble about Amecon'06 being moved to
Birmingham; “For heaven's sake mankind, it's only four light years
away you know.”
