book signing and neat clouds

[aimeekitty]

I'm now obsessively planning out my Japan trip.
We are leaving this weekend and I have to check and double check that I have all my reservations and all my addresses and more stuff than I actually need. I'm really excited but there's a lot of stuff to do, and when I get back I'll be really busy, too. I'm glad I got to be lazy and sit outside a lot this week. Sitting by Balboa lake with the sun and the breeze and good company was absolutely lovely.

My VOLKS YoSD Lin joined me for my book signing this past Saturday. :)
We saw Miguel Ferrer in the book store.
(I quietly squee-ed in inside)


Sitting with me (that's my blue skirt) in Van Nuys... the clouds are starting to get ominous!


OMINOUS!

Aw, your little friend is so cute! It looks like you two matched that day. I was curious, did you get a good turn out for the book signing? I wish I lived near by, I would have stopped by to get mine signed.

Lovely views!

I know, I've got so much to do before leaving...but it will be fun! Are you going to Sato? We have reservations for this Sunday. I now have to figure out what time. And pack and all kinds of other stuff.

Have lots of fun on your trip!

What a cool doll! I need to bother some people that bring them at a convention I'm heading to because I want to see how the eyes fit in! haha that sounds weird but I'm intrigued!

I love the last picture, it's so neat to see the rain before it hits you :)

Hello! You have no idea who I am but that's okay! I found your journal on GoComi and anyone who loves cos-play, drawing, Japan AND Hello Kitty... I just had to add you!

I finally bought your book, and as a fellow Hello Kitty fan from Asia, I wanted to pass on this little tid-bit! It is an unproved rumor, but still fun to know!

When the designers came up with Hello Kitty, they believed it was importand for children to learn to say "hello' in every language ((or most, anyway ^^)) They thought that as she made her way around the world her name would be changed according to the language... Hello Kitty in Mexico would be "Hola Kitty". In Africa, "Jambo Kitty". In Ireland, "D'huit Kitty". It would be a tourist collectible if nothing else.

That's not what happened. It BOOMED and as Hello Kitty made her way around the world, so did her name. Oh, I'm sure some places translate it, but for the most part peole learned how to say "Hello" in English ^^

As I said, an unproved rumor told to a bored classroom in the Phillippines ^^ But still fun!

The guy you saw was the voice for the Heretic leader in Halo 2? Mike (boyfriend) probably would have wanted his autograph ;D If he even knew who he was :x.

Have fun on your trip! :)

I wouldnt have wanted to bother him, but it was neat to see him there randomly. :)

Can I smuggle myself in your suitcase? I'm pretty small-ish.
