Let's see... I got a DVD (Pretear), manga volume (Aria vol. 2), a couple non-custom keychains (including one of Sailor Mercury) and my custom keychains were of some of the Pokemon girls, including my fan-made trainer Lisa. Oh yeah, and some autographs :) It was over 24 hours both ways since I rode there and back on a Greyhound bus. But the conventions near where I live aren't too great, and the one there was one I attended back in 2010 when I went to school there so it wasn't totally unfamiliar.
Unfortunately, I think my allergies arew going to be a bother for the rest of winter. And it's not actually the allergies themselves but the medicine I take for them - one of the side effects is sleepiness and when I take the stuff it knocks me out like a light. Right now, I'm divided about the new games... I really, REALLY like the design of the girl trainer, but the 3D graphics just don't look like they belong in a main Pokemon game. And I really don't care for the starters all that much, I'll have to see if they grow on me. I'll need a 3DS too, but I might get my brother's once he gets a 3DS XL - that could take awhile now since he just had to pay $300 to replace his computer...
Okay, I'll let you know :) I'm looking forward to my move more than ever now, especially since my neighbors here seem to drink too much beer and get into loud fights just about every day - I hate waking up every morning to slamming doors, and loud cursing:/
