To me, such functions are like supermarket openings.

I get paid very well and am happy with what I make, but I'm not in the super-rich bracket. I shop in a supermarket like everyone else.

I don't like to go to premieres or openings. I don't like to have to put on makeup.

Though a bill in supermarket showed saving of 200 bucks, he had purchased unnecessary things worth 500 bucks, so a net loss was of 300 bucks.

Forty freaked me out. I didn't see it coming. My life was in a state of chaos - I was moving jobs and moving house - and it just hit me like a ton of bricks.

I have friends who are majorly into the cosplay culture and have urged me to go to a convention for no other reason than to meet others like me.
