IMPORTANT
Okay, this is pretty important. My parents have decided to put parental controls on my computer again. So, until I find a way to update without them knowing (probably from another computer), there won't be updates. I don't know how long that will be, but I WILL update again. I'm going to try to send everyone on my Friend's list a PM, but I only have a few minutes >.< I'm not sure if I can still do IM, but I'm thinking I'll be able to.

Wheee... I have returned.
There is only one word that can discribe that convention: AWESOME!!! We finally got to Atlanta Friday night, and after dinner and unpacking I convinced my dad to let me go to the j-music sleepover for a few minutes. The only bad thing was that we were at the hotel across from the convention center and the hotel it was attached to, so we had to run across eight lanes of traffic to get to and from the con so I couldn't go by myself... So anyway I stayed there until about eleven and then my dad said we had to leave... but they showed a bunch of awesome j-rock videos. Anyways then Saturday we ate breakfast then went to the Ed and Roy Show, which was a panel with Vic Mignonga and Travis Willingham. After that was the autographs with them, and that alone was worth the entire trip!!! I was cosplaying as Ed for that part, and Vic signed my Ed cloak thing on the sleeve, and Travis signed his picture in the convention book. I got a picture with them too, and Vic's newest CD called Metafiction!!! Lemme tell you, Vic Mignogna is just about the nicest person I've EVER met. He's completely awesome with the fans, and so it Travis.

After that, I went back to the hotel room and changed into my Inuyasha costume and got my money for the Dealer's Room ($200). In the dealer's room I bought some keychains for my friends, a Vincent Valentine pillow for kakashi s, a Zelda t-shirt, an Inuyasha poster, the FMA movie, a T.M. Revolution CD, some Japanese snacks and drinks (including waaaay more pocky than is good for me), an FMA poster, a Kenshin pillow, an AWA t-shirt, and in the Artist's Alley I bought a KH2 Axel and Roxas print, a REALLY awesome L print, and a cool Battousai print. I think that was all I got... but $200 went a long way!!! Then I ate lunch and went to the AMV awards (though the AMVs weren't that good actually...).

Then it was the Miniskirt Army panel!!! THAT was fun. I'm actually a member of the Risembool Rangers and not the MSA, but my mom said that we had to eat dinner while the RR panel was going on. Anyway, Travis was late, so we entertained ourselves for a while. It was a pretty small room that was packed with people (with tons of people waiting to get in if anyone left), so I ws standing in the corner against the wall with my dad. They had an FMA trivia thing and I won a mint for knowing what Mustang was named after. After I answered the question, the unofficial leader person at the front goes, "Hey, Inuyasha? SIT BOY!!!" So I sat. I just slammed into the ground and everyone started laughing, and one guy was like "DANG!!! That must've hurt!!" It really didn't but I guess it sounded like it did ^_^ Then, after seeing the Sacrificial Ed (who was a cosplayer a little older than me, who was attached to a leash and led around all day by Vic and Travis... lucky >.<), one Miroku cosplayer walked up to the front to fix the microphone. Someone in the audience shouted "Hey, we've always wanted to see some Miroku/Ed yaoi!!!" Everyone cheered, and my dad started looking for an exit... it was pretty funny. So the Miroku cosplayer glomped Ed and then put his hand over her mouth and kissed it, it was hilarious because the girl who was cosplaying as Ed blushed so much her face was closer to purple than red ^_^ But then Travis finally came and told a few stories about how he got into voice acting, etc. One was about how he ate a rotten Snack Pack pudding thing once... that story was completely hilarious.

Then it was dinner, and then the cosplay contest. There were some awesome costumes (pics wil be up later) but I was stuck in the back of a HUGE room because it was standing-room-only when we got there. Then, we were going to watch Helling Ultimate OVA, but the people messed up and didn't chase the people from the previous showing out... so we didn't get to see that because the next showing was at 11:45 and there was a Peelander Z concert I would NOT miss. So we sat for a while, then I decided to check out Ouran High School Host Club in another video room. I could read the subtitles because there were heads blocking it, and I got a headache from the fangirls that screeched every time one character came on the screen, but from what I could tell it was pretty good ^_^

Well, the opening band ended up staring an HOUR LATE. So we stood in a giant group of con-funk ridden people (it was hot and stinky)... and finally at 1 AM they let us in. We were in the front row. So we watched the opening band (TsuShiMaMiRe) for about an hour, and then it was the Peelander Z concert!!! They are the most insane group I've ever seen!!! They did the human bowling thing, threw mass amounts of gum out onto the crowd, and then Peelander Red duct taped the microphone to Peelander Yellow's head (hair and all!!!) So he climbed up on a ladder in the middle of the crowd and ripped it off, along with a huge chunk of his hair. It looked incredibly painful.

By the time the concert was over (around 4 AM), I was still wired but my dad seemed like he was sleepwalking. We made it back to the hotel room, but my mom had fallen asleep and out room key didn't work >_< So, here I am, once again in my Ed costume, my dad looks like a zombie, and we come crawling down to the front desk at 4:30 AM to get a replacement key. They wouldn't give us one. So some guy had to follow us up to our room to make sure our key really didn't work and that it was our room. I finally got to sleep about 5:30-ish. And then woke up at seven >_<

Anyway, I think I just set the record for my longest post ever. Hope your eyes aren't bleeding too badly... Umm... yeah.... CRAP!!! I'm missing Inuyasha *runs to TV*

ANIME CON!!!!
YAYNESS!!! It's 12:03 AM right now, and I just finished packing and doing my homework. Tomorrow after school, me and the rest of my family are driving to Atlanta for Anime Weekend Atlanta ^___^ I can't wait!!! I've got somewhere between 200 and 250 dollars saved for the dealers' room this time around, not like last time when I only had like fifty. My dad's going with me for most of the con, and I really don't mind it because he's also an anime fan. Anyways, tomorrow night I'm going as L from Death Note because it's a quick and easy costume to get into. Then Saturday I'm going as Inuyasha for the morning, afternoon, and early part of the evening, and then I'm changing to my Ed Elric costume. I was gonna try to fit Kenshin in, but there's not enough time >.< Oh well... I'm also really excited that I'll finally get to meet Vic Mignogna (Ed Elric) and Travis Willingham (Mustang)!!! I was suppossed to go to this same convention last year when only Vic was coming, but I had to go to a wedding instead... Anywhoo.

I should probably go to sleep since I have to wake up earlier tomorrow to pack some more. Do you know what one of my most favorite things about a convention is? Sure, the dealer's room and guests and cosplay are all nice. But, the best part is when you're in a wacky costume on the elevator with about three other people in insane costumes and a regular person not attending the convention steps on. The look on their face is priceless... At the last con I went to, I remember me and my two friends were eating lunch, amd this older couple was walking around, completely confused. They sat down at the table next to us, and the lady pulled out a cellphone and called someone, telling them that this was the weirdest thing that they had ever seen, and that there were weird people running around in bizarre costumes. She said it was too bad she didn't have her camera. She asked us what the heck was going on (of course we were all in costume too) and we explained everything, and she was still confused. It was really funny...

Post...
Hello people! Once again, I'm bored out of my mind. I was forced to stay at church this morning for three hours because it was some special service... and those pews are REALLY uncomfortable. A cusion of some sort would be nice, but whatever. And last night they didn't show Inuyasha!!! Now it's moved to Monday through Thursday at 12:30 AM... I've already seen most of these episodes but I kinda wanted to see the dub... And my dad hasn't seen them at all yet and he was really looking forward to it, but I guess the new schedule is better because they're showing more episodes. Oh well.

Let's see... in about an hour my dad and I are suppossed to go to this new bike trail that is apparently pretty hard. It's short (only about 10 miles total) but someone said it had tons of hills, tree roots, gravel, and other stuff like that. So, I guess I'm looking forward to that.

In other news... The Inuyasha costume is finally complete!!! YAY! I ordered the pants off of eBay because, quite frankly, I suck at sewing. I bought the wig at a costume store and got the ears and necklace from eBay also. And I just finished making the two shirts with some help from my dad, so now it's complete!!! BWAHAHAHA!!! It is complete awesomeness, and now all I need to do it make a fake katana. I'll just put that in the sheath from one of the real katanas I have, since they don't allow weapons (duh). Once I do that, I'll be completely ready for the convention this weekend. We were suppossed to leave Friday at around twelve, but since I missed a lot of school when I was sick, I can't get out early. So we're driving down to Atlanta after school, and my dad and I are going to the con possibly Friday night, Saturday, and the early part of Sunday. I CAN'T WAIT!!! We were planning on going to AWA last year, but we had to go to a wedding instead >_< But this year we're going, and Vic Mignogna and Travis Willingham (Ed Elric and Mustang from FMA) are going to be there!!!

FRIDAY!!!!
It's... FRIDAY!!! *happy Friday dance*

Ahem. Anyways. As of yesterday, I'm not sick anymore! Yay for finally being able to eat stuff. Umm... let's see. Not that much has happened really. Well, for anyone who cares, today is Kakashi's b-day. I didn't know but at school today one of my friends ran up to me and was REALLY excited and told me. Anywho. Today in math I took a quiz that I barely knew any of the stuff on because I've missed school, so I just kinda guessed on how to do a lot of the stuff. If I get higher than a C I'll be in total shock. Then after math my teacher (Mr. Li) started talking to me and one of my friends about Naruto, and I was completely lost because I hadn't read that far. It was really funny because Mr. Li kept going on about sharingans and then he said something that was apparently a HUGE spoiler that my friend didn't know yet! Then he was apologizing literally for about two minutes. Then after school I had to stay until five because I had piano and I had to do make-up work and stuff (of course yesterday I was there until six thirty because I had karate too). I missed a total of 4 quizzes and 1 test >.< So I'm going to be studying my butt off this weekend... if I don't procrastinate like I usually do... oh, YAY!!!! Time for dinner ^_^

Yay... and Boo.
As you know from my previous post my sister has been pretty sick, and so on Sunday we took her to the urgent care place for a blood count and stuff. This is what I find funny: first the PA (not even the actual doctor!) came in and took the blood sample. Then he told us he'd call later with the results because it took a while to see what the white blood cell count was, which I know for a fact isn't true (it really only takes like 10-15 minutes, and there were NO other patients there). Then he calls a few hours later at like eleven o'clock at night at says "I didn't see any elevation in the white blood cell amount, and my physical examination concluded that there is nothing wrong. My best guess is that she is pretending to have an illness to get out of school." Meanwhile, my sister is puking her guts out in the bathroom and doubling over with abdominal pain again. OF COURSE there's nothing wrong with her *twitch* But wait, it gets even better from there! I woke up at two AM yesterday morning and I was all sick, so my mom hauled both of us off to our regular doctor at like 10 AM (I feel so sorry for her, especially because my sister expects to we waited on 24/7 while she's sick), only to conclude that my sister had a UTI and a stomach virus, and I got the stomach virus. Whoopdeedoo. My only question is this... If my mom was taking care of her the whole time she was sick, and I stayed pretty much away from both of them the whole time, why is it that I got the stupid virus? ANYWAY!!! At least we know my sister doesn't have appendicitis and won't have to get surgery. Only a stomach bug that she gave to me, which is now cauing my stomach to feel like emptying itself again... ugh, I need to leave...

Greeeat...
Lemme start off by saying my little sister has been sick since Thursday with a whole bunch of stuff: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, no appetite, low feer, etc. Well yesterday after I got home she still felt really bad and said the middle and side of her stomach kept hurting really bad, and she pointed to her right side. Up until this we just assumed it was a stomach virus or something that would go away on it's own fairly soon. So today she says her stomach hurts even worse and she's doubled over from it like twice already. So now she's at the doctor getting her blood count and if it's high then it's probably appendicitis. What fun for everyone T_T Ah well, I guess if that is what it is then she'll be completely back to normal in a week or so. But if she does have to get surgery she's going to be in hysterics... She was completely petrified when they had to pull one of her teeth *shudders upon remembering the day this happened*

Ladida...
Let's see here... I went over to Kakashi s's house last Friday and stayed until about 6 PM yesterday. It was awesome (as always ^_^)! She got Dirge of Cerberus a few days ago and I finally got to see that game's awesomeness!!! I COMPLETELY suck at it because (in my opinion) the controls are kinda awkward, but hey, it's still a really great game. Oh yeah, before she picked me up she had some kind of caffiene-packed drink and she was spastic for quite a while... So we pretty much just drank even more caffiene-packed stuff all night and watched Ace Ventura pet Detective (hilarious) and Inuyasha. Then we passed out aroud 4 I think... Oh yeah we when we were watching Inuyasha she decided to hang off the couch thingie upside down and we found out that it causes a few things: You can't stop laughing when you're in that position and you start laughing, you can't understand what's going on in the episode, and most importantly, Sprite spills all over you and goes up your nose when you try to drink it like that ^_^ I guess common sense would have told us that, but then again we have none. Yeah then yesterday we went to the Greek festival but there really wasn't too much going on so we just ate a bunch of stuff and watched the little kids dancing on stage. I had a snowcone and she had cotton candy and then we split a boklava sundae which was SO COMPLETELY GOOD!!! After that we went to see Talladega Nights and it was also really funny.

Nooo... *sadness*
Well, this really doesn't have anything to do with me, but it made me really sad. Steve Irwin (the Crocodile Hunter) just died while he was shooting a documentary in the ocean. He was stabbed by a sting ray in the heart. He was 44 years old. I IDOLIZED this guy up unitl I was about ten. I even did my third and fourth grade biography projects on him (anyone who knew me before fourth grade would definately agree that I was obsessed). My mom sat through that movie with me so many times I'm surprised she didn't pull her hair out. The schedule for that show dictated what I would do that day. I just feel really bad for his wife and two kids... judging by the time he was pronounced dead, his family should have just found out about an hour or so ago. I just can't believe he's dead.

Weeeee...
Okay, yesterday kakashi s went with me to see the FMA movie!!! YAYNESS!!! My dad drove us 2 hours to some theater in the middle of nowhere where it was playing, and the movie was COMPLETE AWESOMENESS!!! I got really really confused in parts of it because I didn't know which universe they were in, but my dad and kakashi s were confused too. Anyways after that we drove all the way back and ate dinner and went to Blockbuster and rented Naruto Ultimate Ninja and Devil May Cry 3. Kakashi s kicked my butt in Naruto but she had played it before. I only beat her once... Then we tried DMC3 and now we both agree that it has to be one of the BEST video games ever! We both suck at it, but it's still awesome... Then we played this game that I got at Gamestop a while ago called Chaos Legion because it was insanely cheap, and it's a good game in my opinion and the graphics are awesome, but I have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER of what the plot is. It gave this really short movie in the beginning that was suppossed to give you a general outline of the plot, but everyone was talking really really fast and it was just confusing. Anyways then we went on my computer for a little bit, then we watched Advent Children and then we passed out. This morning my mom woke us up early and made me go to church and kakashi s go home :( So now I have to go do my massive pile of homework.
