Hi everyone, anyone know of any information about, anime, manga, or cosplay convetion at Osaka?

In a dark place I dwell. I fear of many things. I fear of my appearance, for I want to be pleasing to the eye. I fear my heart, for it can betray me. I fear my mind, for I am afraid to even think. I fear my faith, for I feel I am failing the one I serve. The truth of life I liken to a raven of my shoulder. The companion stays with me, talks to me, and will give alarm when a predator nears. However, if left untreated, my companion will waste away and may even die. I fear of losing that which I value. Faith, body, mind, and soul. I want my companion with me, and I want to fit myself to be worthy and pleasing. I am like the I'll man that son healed so long ago. I want to be worthy of the trust given, and I want to be able to enjoy the gift that is life. But, even if I fail at everything, my friend the raven I must keep. For if I lose my companion, I am nothing. I want always to hear my friends warning, for without it, I would surly fall. I hope to rejoice in the time where such things and worries will be done away. I must live my worry at the door and put trust in my friend. Let him guide and worry for me, and talk to him, so that I may be peaceful. There is a certain thing I want, something the inside desires. Not immoral, but must be careful in selection. My friend knows, and perhaps he will seek it out, but until that day, I must do for him as he has for me. Serve, serve him as strongly as he as for me. Show that I am worthy to be at his side, just as he is at mine. Only then, will I perhaps know the pleasure of what the inside seeks. Many things come in passing days. But I know only this, without the raven at the shoulder, I would surely be lost.

They do magnified lenses, that's what I got. So long as you know the magnification you need you can just order what you want, and they ship to the UK.

For those interested will be holding meetings Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m., the Tuesday meetings will be in science building 1086 and these Thursday meetings will be in Tivoli 442.

The last episode of Baccano! actually has some interesting ideas on this subject in the dialogue between the Vice President and that little girl.

In the future, Sherflow and I may move to Japan. I lived there for a while before and worked as an English teacher, and now I'm CELTA certified, so I shouldn't have much trouble getting a job. Maybe if we don't go there we might try Taiwan, since I have a friend over there too.
