Commenting on a Comment

Okay...
First off, was that an offer to pay for me to go to Anime Central? If it wasn't, and it was just a suggestion to ask one of my friends who could afford it, I don't think that any of my friends could... Like I've mentioned before, my friends have more important things to spend their money on, and I, unfortunately, still don't have a steady job. Now on to the approximate costs of going to Anime Central: Gas: ~$40-45; Toll booths: ~$10; Parking: ~$20; Hotel room: ~$60-280 (depending on which hotel I were to stay in and on how many people I would be sharing a room with); Admission: ~$45; Food: ~$45-60; Misc.: the sky's the limit (even though if I were to go, I would like at some money for miscellaneous expenses since there are birthdays coming up, and ACen has some pretty cool stuff to buy). So, let's see...Anime Central would cost anywhere between $220 and $460 plus miscellaneous costs. Then there's still the issue that my boyfriend would also want to go, and I just think it's not fair to have told him that we're not going and then saying "See ya. If you wanna come too, you're gonna have to find your own sugar daddy or mommy". Plus, my boyfriend knows more people at these conventions, so it would probably be more worth his while, I guess...
Anyway, on to the next remark...ummm, well, thank you for the compliment! Sometimes I'm pretty good at writing and at other times I just suck, but that's just from my point of view. Other people might actually like most of my writing... And as to March 10th's post about the babysitting qualifications...yeah, it should probably be in a newspaper because I think it's an important issue and I'm probably not the only one. Parents (people in general) need to be aware of what they're asking for in a babysitter. I mean, just because you provided the semen or the egg and/or the womb for a child, that doesn't mean that you are granted with universal baby-rearing skills... If we were to set up the same qualifications for parents that they set up for babysitters, there would be far less children than there are now...hey, that would be a great population growth control method...hmmm... Anywho, even if we were to do such a thing, that doesn't guarantee that those parents would be good parents. So, yeah, thank you again for the compliment!
Well, I now get to play the guessing game about who wrote that comment... It's not my boyfriend because I already asked him; it's highly unlikely to be my professor from last semester (she usually uses her Blogger ID); it's not any of my German friends (they would have written in German and they probably don't the time to do much of anything); and it's probably not any of my American friends (most of them still don't know about my blog and all of those who do know about it, have yet to post a comment). So, who could it be? I'm going to go with my mother because she usually posts comments as "anonymous", and even though she didn't write in German, I just get her vibe through her writing, so I'm going to go with her.
However, I always have this twinge of doubt, so if the real "anonymous" could please stand up and either confirm or correct my guess, I would be very thankful.

Okay, that's all from me for today. You people take care and I'll write soon...I promise!!!
