Sydney: Kinokuniya Bookstore

...I'd cursed.

Why, of all days, did there have to be a freakin' festival/event at Kinokuniya Bookstore? And a Cosplay Competition, plus an autograph session featuring several comic writers?
I don't give a damn.
Because, truthfully, I don't really care about Cosplay. Na. It's the truth. I'm not really interested in it, and I think the past year I was faking some excitement... not quite sure; after all they're just clothes. Oh, yes, now I realised. My "well, they're sort of cool, but I don't really care that much" towards Cosplay just turned into "meh, I don't give a damn about them - actually, I wish to never see them again in my entire life, if possible" because of my experience shopping earlier.

...I still don't know why I hated the shopping so much, by the way. ...I'm just hating everything at the moment, I guess, because I hate the world, so in turn I also begin to hate everything in it. Yes, maybe that's really it... Hmm... :/

So because of the damn event, Kinokuniya was hell crowded, making something that was supposed to be a happy moment for me terrible... I'd endured through approx. 3 hours of tagging along and spent around 20 minutes walking to Kinokuniya in the freezing, cold, windy air, and was finally at the location of desire...
And the world just had to put the damn event on today. =*=
Meh, I guess it's our fault for coming today. Yes, our fault..

I brought a Bleach book thing; it has all those extra information and stuff, plus something that I had wanted to read for quite a while now... and that's Death Note: Another Note, The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases novel :3. I was going to buy Bleach: The Character Book of Souls 2 as well, since I had the first book, but my money was short so I had to get rid of some stuff.
And there was another book that I had to return to the shelves; a certain series that I had wanted to read for a while, because of the main character's description. I'm sure I would like the main character quite the amount, (unless he changes because of some ridiculous twist in the story...) and the series that I'm talking about, is, of course, Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei!! :D I was immediately interested in it as soon as I'd read the blurb at the back; I'm sure I can empathise with him nicely and not become annoyed at his attitude. :)
'Tis the blurb:

From MyAnimeList:
Itoshiki Nozomu is always in despair! Even simple things like paying for the toll on the subway can send him to a despair so deep only attempted suicide is the answer. How Strange is it then, that he should be the teacher of a High School Class filled with students with even more emotional problems than his. This great Comedy will leave you in anything but 'Despair' as you meet each of his students and watch their wacky adventures.

From AnimeNewsNetwork:
Itoshiki Nozomu is the world's most negative person. To his way of thinking, there is no hope or meaning in this existence. Even the three kanji of his name become the two-kanji word zetsubou, "despair", when compressed. What an ironic twist of fate, then, that he becomes teacher to a class containing his precise opposite, the invincibly positive-minded Fuura Kafuka

But if this series ended up being something that tries to make people think positively or has some sort of positive twist to it... I'd be madly disappointed. :(

Anyhow, apart from those books I just brought a few pencils and pens... that's all...

...Let me finish the post with this;
Ahh, how I hate living.
