ANIME EXPO DAY 4 (of 4)
So on day 4 I showed up in decora-ish wear. We missed the GoH free for all but it was okay because I had already gotten autographs from 12012 and Kitamura Ryuhei, and that was enough for me. We met up with Ayu in the Hilton and she did my hair. She gave me little hair clips and ice cream hair ties! She even let me keep them :3
Sarah and me in decora~
So we went into the convention center and I saw the cutest little kid in the world. I asked the parents if I could take a picture because she was so cute! XD
:DDDDDD
Anyway according to Richard this was the big sale day... but I didn't see too many big sales. And the booth I wanted to buy from was gone! But it was okay because what I wanted was at another booth too. Unfortunately there wasn't too much of a discount but I was able to get a gift for Katherine (still undisclosed for the time being). Then I went around looking for something cute for my sister. I was going to get her a Totoro tshirt but money was running short so instead I found some Hello Kitty things at 1/2 price! I got her a hat and some barettes and she seemed to really like them so I was happy :D I couldn't find what I wanted for Kathy so I decided on a cell phone strap XD
During the whole time Richard was being kind of emo and wandering off everywhere so I was kind of worried about him~ I kept turning around and all of a sudden he wasn't there anymore! Just like how little kids get lost in department stores (well... I got lost in a Target once? XD) But afterwards we helped him buy the Kenshin DVD box set so he was happy again! :D It was kind of funny. He needed something like $78 or something... and so everyone gave him money... except I didn't have any money to give... so I gave him my $0.58 XD And then he was able to get a bargain on the DVD set! XD It took a while though.
After we went shopping (and after most of us ran out of money) we went out of the dealers room and sat around taking pictures.
There were lots of Sarah and me, but here's one of Ayu and Diana XD
We waited for a while until we decided to eat lunch. But we had a hard time deciding where. At first we were just going to do something cheap like Quiznos, but since it was the last day we wanted a nice lunch. So we went to the Marriot and decided for that food and those prices we should have just gone to the Quiznos. XD Instead though we decided to walk to Downtown Disney and go to Rainforest Cafe.
While we were walking (and it was a pretty long walk) we decided that we wanted a group picture to remember the day. And so we found a random guy on the street and he agreed to take our picture. Unfortunately for him, there were like 7 cameras. XD
From left to right: Mike, Mike, Richard, me, Ayu, Diana, Sarah
So we continued our walk and Richard and Diana decided to take a little "shortcut" through the bushes. It ended up looking like they were walking through the jungle!
As the two explorers brave the perilous jungle....
Hahah when Diana came out she looked like a model.
Well, a model with lots of things she bought
We got in the air conditioned Rainforest Cafe and shopped a while before being seated. Then we got in and decided it was Richard's birthday. Sarah made ME tell the person serving ;o; I was really embarrassed haha. Richard and I each had a sandwich so we hald half of each others. Anyway the food was.... very filling, and I think everyone was too full by the time they brought out the cake for Richard! XD It was really huge too... We should have just gone with the small one but we thought it would be nicer~
The cake was supposed to be a volcano.
We took a group picture... again xD
Earlier everyone had joked that Richard could pay for everyone because he had a credit card. But he took it seriously! (That's why he's trying to give someone back their money in the picture XD) Ayu and Diana left early, so it was Mike, Mike, Richard, Sarah, and me. Anyway, after we half-settled what was happening with the money, we started walking to the parking lot of the Tiffy's. Mike and Sarah and Richard all couldn't decide which way was the best way to get back but somehow we found the Tiffy's! We messed with our cameras a little and Richard realized he had all these functions he had never even known about~ It's actually a pretty nice camera :]
We learned it took composite pictures like this
But this one turned out prettier
We also took a bunch of movies in the car that were kind of stupid but really fun! Here are the links...
Part 1 - Random things XD
Part 2 - Introduction of the marshmallow plush
Part 3 - Azumi Nerdiness
Part 4 - Why I'm recording Richard instead of Sarah
So we dropped Richard off and Sarah came to my house. And Sarah and I messed around a little and ate dinner with my relatives. And then we went to watch the fireworks! They were pretty... a lot of new ones this year~ By then the "I miss AX" was setting in and so after she left I was like "awww AX is over D:"... but overall it was a great experience :D
So~ Hopefully I'll see everyone again in Long Beach next year! :D
