Posting about Otakon: Day Two!!

So Saturday..hmmm. Well I woke up as I wanted to, five thirty. So I quickly took a quick shower while it was still dark. I try as hard as I could so I didn't wake up anyone and I pulled it for for the first half hour. So I got read and put on most of my costume. The shirt's butterfly paint was dry by then so I quickly make the lines a bit thicker with white marker and was ready to wear it. Once I had almost everything on, I woke up my sister Grecia so she could help me with my hair. I didn't wear a wig, I used my own bangs but I did use extentions and put that into a pony tail. I forced Grecia to change into her work clothes so she could help me with the butterfly in my face and arms.

Once my hair was up and all long, it did get a little tangled and wasnt a smooth as when I bought it and it bothered me alot. I felt like going to the store and buying another one but of course that would be crazy. But then things went crashing down when Grecia didnt know what to wear and then I got a little worried and hurried her up a little bit more. I didnt want to be late and the Bleach photoshoot was at 1pm, yeah plenty of time XD So after we started drawing the butterfly in my face, after I showed her a little model we scored first try. She told me though that the ink will go away if I gets near water, in other words, if I sweat.

Then came the butterfly in my arm, that didnt come out the first time so we had a little trouble. Plus, Grecia had to leave for work less than 20 minutes. So with less than 10 minutes we got it done and it looked great. So after those hard drawings were done with, I still needed a bit more help from her to fix up a bit my hair. I wasnt so satisfied with it @_@ So after that, I got the rest of my outfit on and I ran downstairs for breakfast. I ate and we got our water ready and food to later eat if we were hungry. And off we went. My uncle was visiting the morning and was outside, great. Since as a child he would make fun of me, I got a little worried that he would laugh at me but of course in front of my parent's he wouldnt. So he just smiled and asked me where I was going all dressed up.

I shruged and said "convention". So off we went to Baltimore, I was really excited! So when we got there and parked, I already felt a little unusual in my costume but I sucked it up cause I was gonna be like this all day. So once parked we left and the people at the parking lot give me a funny look. The weekend in which they shall see costumes haha. So once I got into the con, it was a little too early so it wasnt crowded as much I knew soon it would be. I almost went every where and well-nobody noticed me. It was all good though cause maybe I looked in a hurry cause I went here and there, this floor and that floor. But then in one corner my mom insisted that she took a photo of me, and she did when I was walking to her, hoping she wouldn't take one and she did. So I walked away, heading to the water fountain and which is like behind a staircase and all of a sudden, a guy who is coming down picks up his pace and tell mes "Hey! Can I take a photo of you and your nice costume!".

First person and of course I nodded happily. He was coming along with some other people whom I guess were his friends. I think one of them too snaped a photo. So I slid my leg a bit father until I was in kombat position and there, waited. And my legs and the stretching hurt. While I waited for them to say thanks, in my head I said "Oh jeez..this hurts!! Hurry up people!!" XD but it was definitely worth it. So walking here and there, thats why I mosted did I guess. 7 people asked for my picture in total and the best one I like was when I was sitting at the fountains off to the side, sitting on a big block when some asian guy about..20's says "Yoruichi-sama, can I take your photo?!" ..how can someone not smile to that. I jumped off and posed away. Another encounter, my mom was really tried from the walking so she left me to walk here and there, she went off to the third floor outdoor terance. Which is like..a big balcony.

VERY peacful I must add. And so when I caught up to her in there, she had told me for the 2 hours we were away, she had fallen asleep. My mom rocks, yo! So she was feeling WAY better than the day before. And while we just chilled, a Soi Fon, off to the side, randomly sees me and waves at me. While I just ..wave back? My mom whom I had told her what Soi Fon looked like pleaded me to go snap some photos with her. So we walked up to her and we greeted each other. We got ready for photos. I ..have this never happened before, I was VERY nervous. Fot one shot she handed me her badge...which was a string all around her neck. Keri-chan..said on it..if I remember quite well. "You can hold on to it, I'm your..*low voice* bitch" and I just smile and grab away.

Yoruichi pwns all Soi fons!!! So after that, my mom just..loudly says "Fight!" and we didnt know what to do, seriously. We just..did what we though of first..and it was so akward. I think I made a fool out of myself. The sun was blazing in on us so it might look like I'm about to close my eyes. Other people too just came up for the photos too. So after the photos my mom took which was three. We..just kindly..randomly walked back. We did say the thanks and by and a huggle. Though I wished I asked for an e-mail or something. We grabbed our stuff and left, while heading to the door, another person whom is #6 askes for my photo. "Can I take your photo, before I miss you again, heheh" and I didn't do the cat pose..my legs hurt alot. So I just almightly just stood there, one had on wasit.

Oh yeah I rocked.

"Thanks" "No problem!" and I smile and am on my way. I wanted to go to the dealers room but it was closed. So..about to be 1PM, I made my way fast to fountains. At first it was so small and I was TOO shy to actually go up to someone and speak to them cause..I suck man. I'm not very social. This is long so to make it short, soon enough the gathering formed and formed..and it was WAY TO HUGE! Everyone was minding their own buisness, we needed order and people kept telling us to split into squads. But the vizards, arrancar, Yoruichi's and Urahara's were there too..what would we do? It was a little fustrating cause a Hisagi cosplayer who is Uchiha Nick on cosplay.com keep telling us we had to split into groups if we wanted to make this photoshoot.

At first I hung around with a Nanao and Shunsui, very funny and kind. Next thing we know, the staff at the con told us we had to take this outside.

OUTSIDE in the blazing sun?!

Well..good thing it wasnt litterally in the sun, we had some shade. So then there it began the HUGE shoot of Bleach. While getting a little more organized I notcied two people from cosplay.com. One.is someone I admire so much cause she's made her own manga, published by TokyoPop, and totally kills at cosplay, she was that arrancar..Ulquirrioa..I dont know how to spell his name-such a pain too. And CPhoenix, another Yoruichi cosplayer, she looked fantastic. And so the Bleach photoshoot started. First up were Divisions from the Gotei 13. As expected, first, second, third, forth,fith, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelve and thirten.

All in order and everyone from that divison stepped into the empty space for pictures. As I next to two other Yoruichis were off to the side so most of the photos I took were a little off. Its so long so I made it short, and yes we did the "BwAHAHHA" thing. Oh yeah. Bleach photoshoot done, good time. Though I didnt get any e-mails or usernames..I'm so anti-social.. We walked back in and I was back in photo mode, going to gatherings that were going on. Then out of nowhere theres a huge crowd. And then all of a sudden, girls scream. Anyone guess it? Sephy stripping.

And then came Captin Jack Sparrow!! This was cool and I HAD TO RECORD IT ..and I did. I showed it to Enin, pwuaah. Yes Captin Jack stripped for us ladies and gentlemen. That Jack was soo accurate, hand motion, drunk motion was sooo him! Then I took more photos and got asked for photos. It all came down to seven people asking me. Even though it was seven out of the trillion!! It was good. Then theres another crowd and this one was insane..the show. Random people went up there, dancing, fighting, doing these moves, trying to fight. The crossover of anime and in action. It was so dorky style yet so funny and entertaining. But once you go in the little hole of insanity..your in for it. With crazy people. Kicking..trying to fight. That kind. A girl cosplaying Termari got kicked in the face.. Yeah it was THAT crazy folks. Yet..she was okay and the show continued. It was about five minutes until security told them to stop: no fighting. Overall, it was a blast, theres WAY more to Otakon Day Two but I would blabber the whole night.

Okay thats it, I'm dead tired. Evil your love post is next post for sure babe, along with the pictures so dont miss it!!! Cause you already did =P Pictures next post folks. And updates from me. I just saw Bleach 91 and 92..I hope the fillers will end..Jesus christ. School is almost near people..and I haven't done when I've been told to do. Yes the reading and math. GOD HOW DO I HATE MATH WITH ALL MY MIGHT.

Seriously..I hate math. I'm so retarded in it!
