   Well az promised here's my sad convention stories post lol ^_^
Ok I know you have all been dying to hear these.... lol ya they really are quite sad... but funny too so I'll go in order from the first one that happened to me to the last one

~*~ Can't find the hotel ~*~

Ok I had just goten to the convention center and I waz staring in awe at all the cosplayers *it waz my first ever convention so I waz bound to act like a newbie* anyway I get there and I had to get my badge in order to get pased the doors... and I would've pre-registered but a few kids in my club JCC said "Oh hey I can go! I'll ask my parents and bla bla bla..." I told them to RSVP me at *insert date here* but none of them ever did... But me being a lazy bum kept putting it off and putting it off until a few dayz before the con I waz like "OMG THE CONVENTION!!!!" So I flew onto the website to do all that but when I got there it said...... "We're sorry, vut pre-redgetration iz ova...." and then it had a cute little countdown clock... That I staired at for 3 hours due to I waz in shock... Ya well anyway I stood in line for a while and my mom HATES-- no LOATHS standin in lined so she gave me money and told me that she would be in the hotel...

-3 hours later-

"I FINALLY GOT MY BADGE WOOOOOOOT" I screamed out as I danced with my badge and then I bolted out of the redgestration center in search of cosplayers and to explore! And with it only being me, myself, and I, I could do anyhthing I wanted so yay!!!

-2 hours of exploring later-

"Ummmmm ok....? Where's my room?" I looked around the hotel that was connected to the convention and my mom had written down the # of my room..... 1310.... *Yes I know the ledgend of the 13th floor of a hotel sheesh...* anyway I went to the top floor and the room numbers only went to 1266.... so I'm like.... "Ok... well maybe the 1 meens the first floor and 310 iz the room...." So I walk over to 310 knock on the door and I'm greeted by... this.... HIPPIE!!!! I MEAN OMG!!! So I'm like "Oh-- I'm sorry I have the wrong room!!* and I walk off....

I wandered from one area to another in hopes of findin' my room and after about an hour I saw this girl holding a little Godzilla plush and I walk up to her and I'm like "He's so cute!!! *pets*" and she laughs and says "Thanks!" So me being utterly exhausted from wandering I sit down and talk to her...

-25 mins later-

I told her my sad story and she said that my hotel sounded like hers so she said for me to tag along. *her name waz Natalie BTW* I did... and it turned out that she was in the same hotel as me and only she was on the 7th floor *YAY* she also told me that the first # of the room number was the floor so I was on the 13th... I finally got back into my room and fell face first on my bed at about 12:07....

~*~ That's the way the film gets exposed ~*~

THe next morning I woke up at like 8 for some odd reason so I desided to mess with my dad's camera. Last night I had used up the entire roll of fil and I couldn't get it to rewind... I thought that it did so I opened it to load the next roll in.... I was wrong it didn't rewind and I'm like "OH SHNAP!!!!" and I close the back as fast as I could... *smart ain't I?* Well the convention wouln't be open for another hour or two so I called up dad *who was gonna be at the hotel later but I didn't wanna wait* and I asked him how I rewind the film.... He told me that there was a little leaver that you had to pull back and then push a button that had a little R on it.... I have yet to see how the fil came out... but I hope not too much got exposed..... Because I got some REALLY AWESOME PICS!!! Man... such iz the fate of an artist such az I....

~*~ Lost.... Again........ ~*~

I went on a serch for Greg Ayers after I saw the pillows *wich is when I took the armor I made out of tin-foil off.... It got completly destroyed....* anyway I was looking ALLLLLLLLLLLLLl ova da place for him but during my search I ran into Vic and I got his autograph and what not!!! ^_^ Anyway after that I continued my search... and sonehow or other I lost my bearings..... and I mean I knew where I was but.... ugh I can't describe it but you guys know what I'm talking about right? Well anyway I sat down for a while 'cuz I waz BEAT!!! ..... I sat there for a good 15 to 20 mins when Vic passed me and he looks down at me and says "Well hello again! ^_^ Anything the matter?" I looked up at him and smiled and smiled and said "Ya I'm a little lost... Can ya help?" He says sure and I follow him like a dog on a leash but I enjoyed it ^_^ and in the end I WASN'T LOST ANYMORE!!!! WOOT!!!

~*~ Nearly colapsing isn't fun ~*~

After returning to the hotel room I sat down and ate for a little bit... *Over the course of thouse three days I only ate soup and salad... and the occasional chips and dip* anyway it felt good to sit down cuz MY LEGS HURT SO BAD!!!! Ok you know how you can pull a barbie's legs off and then pop them back in *that iz if you want to...* Anyway the pain in my leg hurt like that... it was like then inner mucel hurt... Ya well I waz bound and detremined to find Greg Ayers if it killed me... I had stumbled upon a lead the night before but I never found him... Ya well I got a scedule and fliped through it and I found out that there waz an autograph session going on a little later so I finished up my food, grabed my scetch book and some other random things and then ran for the convention center! I wandered aimlessly for a while buying things here and there...

-the list of things I bought is below-

A pin of ever Megatokyo character
a really awsome picture of all of Hayo Miazaki's creations in a forest like place ^_^
a shirt of Largo saying "PH33R MI L33T NAKK3D SKILLZ!!!" and it says "Practice stadic safty... Hack naked...." lol
I got the autograph and picture from Fred
and 6 manga that were all 20% off ^_^
and I got an unpainted figure of Ed for 5 bucks from a girl who didn't want it and she said that she bought it in a box set so yay!

Anyway getting on with the story...
I bought my things and then sat down to read my manga... and I guess time must've slipped away because I asked some really nice ladies what the time was and they said 12:05 and I'm like "OH SHNAP!!! The autograph session!!!" So I run off like a loon to the session and then met up with some of my other friends! So they were nice and let me cut *yay they were at the fromnt of the line lol* ^_^ Ya So I got Greg's autograph and I was happy and then I stuck around for eveyone else's so I felt really happy! ^_^ and then I collapsed in a chair for an hour... cuz my leg's wouln't move at all.........

~*~ Missing the closing ceramony sux ~*~

After regaining the circulation in my legs I ran out of the convention center waiting for my mom and it figures her friend who does nothing but baby me... *I think that if you put all of my haterid together with how much I HATE to be baybied.... I think I would have enough outmatch all tha hatrid for Kikiyo....* Ya well anyway I tell them about the convention and then I told them that the closing ceramony waz like the biggest thing and then my mom was like "Well you should've told me I would've let you stay later!" and then I go "Well I would've but you weere about to kill me so ya...." Then I got baybied bly my mom's frind and then I was about to kill her.... but that's another story......

And there ya go my sad convention stories I hope you enjoyed em! RANDOM PICTURE OF THE DAY!!!!!!
