To whomever got the Escaflowne eyecatch cel at Taro (for
all those that missed it, yes I said eyecatch), I just
wanted to congratulate you and say that I hope that you
realize what a special you cel you found. I know that you
would probably never consider selling it, so I won't
bother asking, but congrats on a great find. It's nice to
know that withlist cels do pop up every so often, even if
I am not quick enough to grab them.
To all those that lament over what they missed, it really
is true that there will always be another cel. I missed
this one, and yes, I will probably never see another one
again, but that is how it goes, and maybe someday I will
get lucky. Everyone gets lucky sometimes...
If you cannot be optimistic and grateful for what you have
gotten and the beautiful cels that you own and are special to you, all I can say is that it is time to find a new
hobby. And one that does not involve collecting because invariably all collecting works the same.
I have never left a message on the forum and I always swore
I never would because I like remaining anonymous (don't
even have a gallery up), but I felt I just had to say
this. I feel like the forum is mostly used to complain,
and I much prefer the people who share their victories than
their defeats. We all miss the best cels sometimes, even
wishlist cels. And we all get the cels sometimes.
There is nothing wrong with asking someone if they would
consider selling a cel to you, but that is very different
from complaining about how life is unfair becasue you miss
out on some cels. This is not even related to anything posted recently, so I hope nobody takes offense, but it what I have been thinking for months and months, but never
felt the need to share. I thought I should wait until I
miss a true wishlist cel before I judged anyone else's
misfortune. Now that it is happened, I know what I felt
before was right. Yes I would give my firstborn for that cel, but no, my life will not end without it.
Sorry for running on like this, but I guess after keeping
my mouth shut for so long, everything is just coming
gushing out. Gomen nasai, and thanks for reading...
By the way, while I do love the cels and collecting is
great in and of itself, lately I have met such great
people and have made some really wonderful new friends that
I think are actually better than any cel out there (that's
to you Trish). Keep in mind what is really important in
life and remember what really matters. I feel like some
forget this at times. A hobby should be more than just
this one cel or that one cel. Again I apologize for rambling and now I will officially shut up (probably for
another few years).
