        Greetings... the name's Aqua Lion, you probably already knew that. And if you came here from Aqua's Den, you likely know I can get a tad obsessive... about very strange things, no less... but not all of my obsessions result in mass quantities of fanfiction. Some result in long car trips and the whole family wanting to kill me. Like the memorable time I dragged mom all over southwest Ohio looking for the MechWarrior 3 expansion pack. Or the several states we ended up in looking for a Mega Blocks set... ANYway, the difference between then and now is that NOW I have a digital camera. One that actually works.
        So, the latest crusade happens to involve that wonderful store known as Half Price Books. In my quest to complete the Battletech series, and getting nothing but the same 10 or so books at 'normal' bookstores, I dragged the parental unit off to a Half Price Books store in Cincinnati.
        My life would never be the same. And, since every Half Price Books store has different books, it became necessary to run all over Cincy to all of the different stores. And, before long, to Columbus. And, soon enough, one fine Spring Break, I convinced the parental unit that we had to go up to Cleveland.
        This was an overnight trip, so my teddy bear (YES, I sleep with a teddy bear! Got a problem with that?) Aokuma came along for the ride. For some odd reason, I got the brilliant idea of taking along said digital camera, and taking a picture of him in front of every store. Just for the heck of it. And why not put it on a website so people can confirm, again, how nutty Aqua is?
        My goal is to visit every Half Price Books store in the United States, at least once. And Aokuma is coming along for the ride.
        Oh, by the way. Since everyone who knows his name asks: Aokuma translates to 'blue bear,' not exactly the most original of names, but I'm not the one who came up with it, I just liked the suggestion and took it. ^_^ (I also don't think it's grammatically correct, but oh well.)
