Go check out Destructoid's collectible toy culture blog, which I proudly run:

Here is a list of things you should know about me:
I'm a female game/toy blogger living in New Orleans.
The NES is my favorite system of all time, closely followed by the PS2.
My DS is more or less glued to my person.
I can't resist playing Contra. Ever.
I think toys are the best solution to not wanting to grow up, and I have an always-growing collection of them, which is why I started Tomopop.
I require sushi for living.
I'm hopelessly addicted to Japanese dramas and skinny Japanese boys with awful hair.
I love wandering around used bookstores for hours.
I think about throwing rocks at people a lot.
I replay The Legend of Zelda about 5 times a year.
I read a lot.
I can't live without music.

Kon-kon!

This Pedro guy is pretty good.

And these RetroforceGo! people aren't so bad.

Actually, the people I work with are pretty freaking awesome in general.

Sometimes I put on costumes, too.

PAX 2008: mad community love and why I fail at socializing
Colette Bennett \| 1:23 PM on 09.03.2008	49 comments

[img]http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/102283-pax-2008-mad-community-love-and-why-i-fail-at-socializing/PAX08 017-noscale.jpg[/img] I had a rocking time at PAX, as usual, but unfortunately I contracted Con SARS on day two and spent more time than I would have liked ferverishly tossing and turning in my hotel bed. I wanted to post here and let all of you know that it was a huge thrill to meet you, and know that shaking the hands of the people that make this community the amazing family that it is is a humbling experience in more ways than I am able to describe. Much love to all of you and I hope the next time I see any of you, I won't be all germy and gross. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Chooly

Hand Sanitizer, we nerds are a germy breed

randombullseye

Collete, we *ALL* fail at socializing. That's why we're on the internet.

ONE OF US, GOOBLE GOBBLE! WE ACCEPT HER. GOOBLE GOBBLE!

-D-

You don't need to apologize! It was great meeting you. Much <3

Darren Nakamura

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I can never seem to contract the diseases going around nerd conventions.

GuitarAtomik

I need to visit you guys in Miami! Also it sounds like you fell under the spell of the creeeEEEEeeeeEEEeepppy monorail driver's voice. I'm just going to blame it on that.

Kryptinite

:), guess we'll just have to come down to Miami to chill with you there.

Victor Stillwater

Well, here's to hoping you're better now. :)

CountingConflict

LOL Colette when I met you and Niero I always thought that you'd be the quiet one for some reason. Instead, I got you cursing like a sailor in the back of the rental car, and I only hear Niero say one word the entire time.

You guys are fucking amazing. I can't wait to hang out again sometime.

Also, I'll be bringing the facemasks to the next convention. We'll all look like Japanese subway riders, but we'll have the increased immune system.

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

king3vbo

I'm trying to recover from ConSARS today... it fucking sucks

Justice

OMG SAMBA DI AMIGO HAT!

riomccarthy

I LOVE YOU COLETTE! :D I just had to get that off my chest. :P I had a great time hanging out with you the little chance we got. Next time I'm just going to cling to you and not let go. :3 Mom says you can come be my adopted sister anytime so if you ever find yourself in Missouri you know who to call :P

Samit Sarkar

Colette, I <3 you. In so many ways. It was awesome to see you again...I hope you and Niero can make it out to NYC sometime soon!

Also, my immune system rocks! Whoo!

Um, sorry for the gloating...hope you're feeling better!

Mr Wilson

I agree with GA and Kryp...Something should be arranged in Miami...Im right up the street in Ft Lauderdale.

Sorry to hear you got sick and wish i could have been there to meet everyone :(

Demios

Get well Colette, the sheer magnitude of the community love should nail those frickin germs!

Also, i hear Chocobo plushies have +20 germ resistance so keep wearing it! :D

Bioautographical

Ugh, what IS it with random travel sick-getness? I was in California for two days last week, and I came down with both pink eye AND a gnarly cold.

It's like a germ-spraying security device goes off in me if I DARE leave the South.

The Incredible Edible Egg

I love you this manies Colette!

*holds out arms like a big hug*

wardrox

It was awesome to meet you, however briefly, glad your not SARSed up anymore :)
