*BAWL*

Cel collecting is such an evil hobby, I swear to GOD. Sometimes I wish so badly I never got into 
it..

Let me tell you how my past few weeks of searching for a TV Nuriko cel have gone.

1. I check EVERY single English speaking cel dealer's site I can find on the internet. Not one of 
them have a Nuriko up for sale.
2. I check EVERY private gallery with a Nuriko cel in it to see if they have any for sale. They 
don't.
3. I email at least 10 private gallery owners with Nuriko cels making insane offers. They can't 
part with one, even if they already have a big handful of them. The one person who IS willing to 
take offers.. well.. I'm too afraid to even make an offer on his...
4. I email someone who is selling her whole cel collection to ask if she will sell me a Nuriko. 
Oops, that's too bad for me. She sold her last one earlier this week. 
5. I check Ebay, CONSTANTLY... no Nuriko cels...
6. I stay up ALL night one night waiting for an update that *might* have a Nuriko cel. No luck. 
7. Ask ISL if she's willing to sell me a Nuriko. ISL gives me look as if I have COMPLETELY lost 
my marbles. I probably have at this point.
8. Anime Game uploads cels. YAY. Nuriko I want! PERFECT! I EMAIL RIGHT AWAY!! Oh, thanks 
for your order, but we've already got that one on hold. Damnit.
9. Scrutinize all my friends in #anime-cel on a daily basis, asking them if they have Nuriko 
cels. Those that do ignore me and hide them and make that ^^;;;;;;;; face everytime I bring it 
up. 
10. Check Yahoo Japan.. CONSTANTLY... no Nuriko cels..
11. Keep an eye on Keep Track at all times though everytime there's an update, it's always 
Anime Taro updating with cels I couldn't care less about ever buying in my lifetime. 
12. Email Nancy to see if she has any FY cels left. No answer. I think she has dropped off of the 
face of the Earth. 
13. Email another dealer... she has decided to stop selling anymore of her TV cels. The only one 
in her collection she'll sell is an ova cel that I like, however I don't believe in paying tons of 
money in OVA cels. 
14. Megan puts Nuriko up for sale. Get emails from multiple people telling me to go to the 
forum right away. Too bad for me, someone else is getting to buy the cel because my name 
wasn't pulled out of a hate. Go figure.
15. Hate myself for not buying a Nuriko all of the hundreds of other times I had a chance to 
about a year ago.
16... More to come, I'm sure.


I'm a lunatic. 
So help me God.
Amen.
