Ever stumble upon a dream cel that you didn't 
even know was a dream cel until you saw it? You 
know, something that maybe you had forgotten to 
ever think about because your current anime 
obsession was slowly taking over your mind and 
efficiently erasing any memory of past series you 
watched, or the desire to collect things from 
them?

And than you're sitting there, looking around at 
auction when all of the sudden, there's this cel. 
It brings back so much nostalgia that you didn't 
even know was there, and it's just really cute to 
boot. It's from one of your favorite scenes, and 
would be the perfect cel of this character.

So you bid.

Despite owing money on other cels as it is, you 
bid. You can only pay the opening price, or a bit 
after that (up to your max. bid), because despite 
how cheap the cel is you really need to save your 
money.

And you watch and watch, and no one else is 
bidding. You get really happy, because you think 
you might actually get by and get this cel with 
no competition. Natch. I took a nap, woke up, and 
found myself outbid. Still one and a half days 
left, and I'm outbid, and I can just TELL the way 
this is going to go. And I'm just sad...but I 
guess every cel collecter knows the feeling.

I don't mean to be whining, I'm just really sad. 
Sure, it would have been better if I had been 
outbid at the last moment, or right away, but 
this is just cruel. Now, for a day and a half, I 
get to see this every time I search eBay for 
cels, and know that I can't win it.

Ahhh, well, like I said, I'm sure every collecter 
has experienced it. Sorry for taking up time, I 
just needed to get that off of my chest.Besides, 
I suppose I'll just wait until the perfect Fish 
Eye cel floats my way (this one was of him 
putting on make-up, and I really wanted it, but 
right now I'm gonna go eat rice-a-roni to calm 
myself). Thanks for your time, all,

-Misha-chan

-P.S. And you know what just hit me? I was just 
at the post office that sells IPMO's today, and I 
was so tired I forgot to even go in and get one. 
Was mailing taxes. So, I'll be sending that IPMO 
tomorrow, Megan...sorry ^^;;; I think I was 
functioning very well today considering I got 3 
hours sleep, hehe ^^;;
