(Transformers) :(

For some reason which I can't quite decipher, reading Ben Yee's writeup of BotCon 2004 and browsing his gallery of photos from it is making me incredibly depressed.

It sort of relates back to my What have we lost entry. I don't get it. Why does thinking of my toy collection make me depressed?

It might be partly the nostalgia, partly the having lost touch with some friends who are involved with the hobby. I mean, heck, Swiper works for Hasbro and Malin's now an official PR rep for OTFCC or something like that. Am I sad because I never quite shot for my hopes and dreams? I don't know that I really even had any specific hopes and dreams that I could have shot for.
