30: A song that reminds you of yourself

Jess: It doesn't even matter what the context is.

Jess: "Dick, your parents are dead."

I've "graduated" from Rutgers, but I still go to the Japanese Visual Culture Association and help them out. Why? I always manage to have a great time there.

I remember going to JVCA (back when it was just known as JCA) in 2006 when I was a freshman, but I stopped going after one meeting because of my shyness. It's funny that I start going to JVCA again when I started graduate school (though I did attempt to go one time senior year with the help of two of my good friends...but there was a snow storm that day...).

Things did go a bit slow during that first year back, but I did manage to keep on going throughout the year. It was that next year that a lot happened. I interacted a lot that year, made friends, etc.

I'm sure that without the encouragement of the JVCA president in 2010-2011 and the amount of interaction the JVCA president in 2011-2012 made, I wouldn't have continued going to JVCA. I would still be very shy. The Lone Cosplayers gatherings I did for Anime Expo the past two years probably wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have been able to make friends there. I wouldn't have went to MangaNEXT. AnimeNEXT 2012 wouldn't have been very exciting. Otakon 2012 might not have happened. Again, I wouldn't have been able to make friends there and a lot of the good things that came from me going to Otakon wouldn't have happened. Well, I won't continue on with that because I don't need to.

alex: sorry, i'm not trying to look at your butt

jess: you're just craving my mcnuggies

I’m sorry.

I'm not mad.  I was a bit miffed because I was /trying/ to comfort you.  But really, it's fine.
