   Lol, so much fun. Fun, fun, fun.....
I loved this weekend. I took so many pics it wasn't funny, lol. I don't know when I'm gonna (if even) post my L cosplay pics. They came out horrible. Not that it wasn't fun to dress up still. And No it's not because I'm... big... that the pics came out bad (that would be some of my RL friends first thoughts, lol). No, I just had to leave my hair long didn't I? :[ My hair would not mess up OR spike. It went flat, even with a ton of hair spray and moose (I refuse to use gel, even if it probably would have worked better...)

I'm gonna write it timeline style. It took a good 4 pages to describe my weekend for a writing prompt in class...

Let's see... Saturday:

4 AM - 8 AM: wake up and get ready to go

9:30 AM: arrive and stand in line for around about a half an hour.

10 or 10:30 AM: is finally let in and me and my friend (the one who bought us the tickets) head for the dealers room. There we bought stuff and took a bunch of pics...

* Chibi L (Death Note) Tote bag
* Fox Squirrel plushie (Nusicca and the valley of the wind)
* Heartless plushie
* Light & L Yoai stickers (no matter how much I dislike yoai they were cute, I had to grab them)
* Tsubasa vol. 7
* D. Gray-Man vol. 4
* 2 Death Note posters (1 for me and 1 for a friend)
* A Tsubasa poster (for another friend)
* A Tamaki Plushie (for a friend)
* Ayumi Hamasaki's CD "I Am..."

12:55 PM: From the dealers room we rushed to the Voice actor Q&A panel where I met a new friend (and Ayres fan like myself ; since I'm gonna mention her again I'll label her...... Airwalk *she had the same Airwalk bag I did but hers wasn't camo*)

2:50 PM: Greg's "Meet Greg Ayres" Panel was over so we all moved across the hall to go to "Meet Luci Christian" Where I got a free Maburo vol. 4 (that belonged to Luci herself) (Did you guys know Luci was getting married this year?)

4 PM: We left to go and get us some dinner where my friends aunt kept asking me the same questions my mom did when she went to her first con. "Why are they dressed like that?" and "These people have so much energy!"......

Between 4:30 & 5 PM: We head back to the convention and walk around aimlessly taking pictures of cosplayers (I had over 200 pics by the end of the con...)

5:30 PM: We walked over to the game room and found nothing to do so we went back to the dealers room

7 PM:We sat on the hill in the back watching people and listening to our Ipods while her aunt was on the phone

7:30 PM we headed over to Building A to wait for the dance

7:45 PM: We were kicked outside and had to stand in line next to some guy who cosplayed Naruto in 2006. He scared me... badly. He kinda gave me that "I'm a stalker, You?" Vibe... I don't know how my friend could be around him with out being creeped out.

8:30(ish) PM: We were finally let in and that guy continued to hang out with my friend. That's why I left. When I finally found someone to talk to my friend had to come and scare him off too... Made me so mad...

9:15 PM or somewhere around there: We (after finally getting creepy to leave) met this fifteen year old guy who was way cool. We hung out with him for a while... Like to the point where my friend just had to go find creepy...

10 PM: I make her take me home, I was tired of being around the creepy guy and I was tired of bouncing around (the dance was mostly jumping and rocking back and forth. There wasn't much room to do anything else)

***********************************

Sunday:

6 AM: (after having gone to bed at just past midnight) Woke up and got my stuff together.

7 - 10 AM: Texted my friend while I waited for her to come pic me up again.

11:30 AM: We get back there and walk around (you guessed it) the dealers room taking pics.

12: 55 PM: We head over to the "Sub vs. Dub" panel (which if you where there that is not what it was about at all, it was about how the anime/manga industry is going through hard times because of people watching everything on youtube and copying/downloading anime instead of buying it) where we met the cooler guy from the dance the night before. Lol, my friend ended up with his phone number....

2 - 3:30 PM: some how or another my friend had found creepy while walking around the dealers room so I ditched her and sat outside the three main panel rooms (in my, by then, perfected L pose) waiting for the line to start for the "Cosplay Zone: Full Metal Alchemist Beyond Worlds" and Masquerade to start (no I wasn't in the Masquerade, although the thought had crossed my mind a few times).

3:45 (ish) PM: I See Airwalk again and call her to come sit with me, which turns out was the right move cuz the a few minutes after she joined me we got up and moved right where the line was starting.

4PM : Since no one knows how to stay in a line for very long we had to go out and stand in the rain...

4:30PM (ish): They let the line back in and start seating us. Luckily (as I said before) we were in the front of the line and got some of the best seats (were were RIGHT in front only a little bit to the left of the stage. We had the best veiw ever... well besides those directly in front)

lmao, while every one was sitting down there was this huge clique of Naruto cosplayers sitting to the left of us, and one of the Itachi's did a strip tease show. He sat there and "striped" off his Akatski cloak and was getting spanked by some chick with a yoai paddle. It was so funny.

5PM: (An hour late) The play starts and was really funny. Ed and Al use a time machine and are warped into a few different conventions where they are attacked by fan girls and such, and Kohona where they are annoyed by Naruto for a while. It's impossible to explain, you had to be there and seen it.

6:15PM (ish): The play ends and the Naruto clique are being weird (like before). Me and Airwalk talk for a little while (did I mention she's 6 years older then I am?) about different anime and voice actors and stuff until the masquerade started.

6:30PM (ish): The masquerade starts and is amusing. A Brock cosplayer revealed the truth about Poke blocks. They are not Berries but grounded up pokemon. He made a poke block of Bonsley.

7:30PM (ish) (if it isn't obvious yet I've begun losing track of time around now): We get to see a hip hop dance crew that is made up of (really, really, really, really good) kids and teens from ages 7 to 20. They are gonna be on that MTV dance crew show too. I think they where called "Foot Klan".

7:45PM (ish): the anime director for comicon sings a Japanese song for us (which I have recorded to my cell phone, she was good)

7:50PM : the announce the winners of the masquerade

8 PM: We see the guy from the dance and say bye to him (the one my friend collected a number from). I was surprised with myself. I actually gave him a hug before we left. I've never done that before, besides to my one guy friend who was moving. I never hug guys.... He was really nice though about everything so maybe that's why... Idk... I was shocked that I did that (and my normal friends, the ones who see me as stand-offish around guys, were even more surprised when I finally told them today)

Well that was my weekend. How was yours guys'?

Oh and I'm put the pics I took on my photobucket account so here's a link k?
