Ok here's how the drama unfolded

I was on my lunchbreak at work on a Friday 
afternoon in October, and I decided to check the 
cels tracker for updates.  Nothing on the first 
or second page, then jumped on to the third page 
to see the Japanese sites.  Anime World Star 
supposedly updated 6 hours ago.  SO I look around 
and hit the adult section.   I click page A, and 
wham! There it was my ultimate dream cel for only 
25000 Yen 18-036A is the order number Pia Carrot 
OVA.  This cel is a picture of Shouko an A-1 end 
cel from Menu 2, the karaoke date scene...this 
scene is very special to me.

So once I saw the cel, I went berserk, it was 
Saturday Morning at 12 am or so in Japan, they 
updated at 6 pm, that means 6 hours passed by 
with my dreamcel up for grabs to any fan-boy out 
there, especially japanese fan boys.  AWS doesn’t 
allow international orders so I e-mailed their 
international section through that A bank, they 
probably don’t open on Saturday, so it’s a bust, 
I would have to wait till Monday…also the dep 
service I usually use is closed on weekends.  The 
ultimate wish list cel of mine…sitting up there 
the whole weekend was too much for me to bear.  
So at work I contacted the other popular deputy 
services, Anime Dep (Sato), and Celga  I figured 
whoever could reach them first would get it for 
me.

So the day passes on and I check my e-mail like 
100 times, no answer from anyone  I get home and 
write to my regular dep service at her personal 
home e-mail asking her to buy it for me, and next 
I e-mail AWS in Japanese if they could hold the 
cel for me.  I continue to check e-mails for 
Anime Dep, Celga or ACJ.  So I go decide to kill 
time and watch the remaining Tylor OVA, then play 
some MSH vs SF on Kaillera.

So about 2:00 am on Saturday I check hotmail 
again there are 2 messages…both only a few 
minutes apart.  The first is from AWS, I get 
estatic.  They tell me If I get my friend to 
hurry up and fill out the order form they can do 
it.  SO I go then read the next e-mail from Anime 
Dep.  Sato tells me everything is ok, he just 
ordered it for me.  So I go nuts…I e-mail AWS 
telling them Sato ordered for me, and I forward 
Sato the correspondence I sent to AWS.  I go to 
bed, wake up Saturday Morning, I get one more e-
mail from Sato saying everything is good be 
relieved for $269.00 I can get my ultimate wish 
list cel!!! YES!!   The other dep services got 
back to me during that day but Anime Dep had 
already gotten it for me.  

This may seem petty but I prayed to god every 
night hoping that my cel would arrive safely-
,tracking the package on the net. 

Well I received the cel on a Sunday November 11, 
2001.  I even tipped the mail carrier $5.00.  I 
open up the cel and voila, my dreams have been 
answered.  I thank god and Sato for uniting this 
cel with me!  The sweet thing is I got this cel 
for such a "Cheap" Price. ^_^
