I had such a great time at this convention. <3 Such a nice break from the week of school beforehand. There were a few unexpected problems, but everything got worked out and everyone had a good time. (At least, I hope so!)

WRITING THIS UP FOR ONCE before I get too lazy or forget it all. (Sorry it got to be so lengthy! xD; )

I got home after class on Friday and panicked trying to throw stuff in my bag before *Phantom-Shadow murdered me pack in time. After an unexpected car ride with lots of crying and singing of the ABC's song, April and I finally got to the con. Went to the room and got situated, SPAZZED for a few minutes while it was still clean, and then ~Admantius, *alcblueyes and their friend joined us. (During this time we had *blueheart29 on the phone, probably wondering what the hell was going on. xD) I can't remember most of the conversation, but it was glorious and random. It was nice to get to see you guys again! <3

After leaving beautiful voicemails for LOUIIIIISE-SAMAAAAA and going to Carl's Juniors with *ChibiK, ~SabienStrange, *Phantom-Shadow, ~Seraphim-Sephiroth and Wes, we met up with the rest of the group and left the room to go hang out around the second floor at the empty artist alley tables. Eduard, Timo, and Dirk walked around looking for picture locations as a fabulous target train. The rest of you fail for being lazy. We got a lot of pictures this time with most of the AO group (EXCEPT DANIELLE, TAYLOR AND CAITLIN. WE MISSED YOUUUU), which was really nice as we usually fail and forget to do so. : D; Some time during the pictures we started seeing this old photographer... hobo... WHATEVER HE WAS who really needed to change his sweatpants or something. D: ~Twilight-chan, ~MellonCollie23 and I just looked at each other as he walked by and we KNEW. We kept seeing him throughout the weekend, too. Ick.

We had this plan to try to get up at 11-12 or something on Saturday, but that was kinda thwarted. I think Kim, Nat, Nadia and April actually did (YOUCRAZYPEOPLE xD <3) , but the rest of us wanted our sleep. 8D We were all glad that Taylor-- whose lolita outfit was adorable-- was finally able to join us in person for a while as we were getting ready. (Just wish you could have been with us longer! You shall be kidnaped at ALA. : D <3) Anyway, we got out of the room at 4-5 and wandered around for a while. Eventually Tawny, Dannie and I went to go get some food for everyone-- and saw that creepy hobo man AGAIN-- while the others went to change and deal with hotel room issues and whatnot. We found a table by the stairs in the lobby; in the few hours we were sitting there we met quite a few Kuroshitsuji cosplayers including ~RILARO and ~mickyslover. (Did any of you guys get anyone else's contact info? D: ) Lots of random, Cielcest and Sebastiancest ensued. (And I think there was some ButlerGrell/Lau rape in there somewhere, too. Lolwat.) I think it was around this time that we saw Stefani and ~Fullmetal-Tora as Gil and Oz with the rest of their Pandora Hearts group and we rant to say 'hi.' (Your costumes looked great! <3) It was great getting to talk to you guys! It's been a while. D:

Not sure quite when this happened, but poor ~Twilight-chan was walking down the stairs and broke most of the pieces of her tea set on the platter she'd been carrying around all day. ono The whole room went silent for a few seconds, and a crowd of people ran to help pick up the pieces that scattered all over the stairs. xD;


... Okay, so she didn't actually drop it by accident. But a lot of people thought she did. : D

Later the group split up and *ChibiK, ~Twilight-chan, ~MellonCollie23 *Phantom-Shadow and I went back downstairs and scored a couch. April was feeling her face up and flailing around in her full bodysuit and scaring/chasing Tawny. This somehow led to all of us being piled on one side of the couch and so *Phantom-Shadow noticed the tiny buttons on the back of ~Twilight-chan's butler!Grell coat. Then ~MellonCollie23 pointed out that they looked like back nipples. Ron had been talking in an amazing nerdvoice this entire time, and professed his love for them: "Anticipation for the exploration, skin collecting condensation, giving me heart palpitations for SEMPAI'S BACK NIPPLES!"

I was hardly there on Sunday (today? xD) so I'm not gonna bother to write anything up for it. Did finally see ~Aya-Frost for a second on the way out, though. Sorry I didn't get to see you beforehand! D8

Some of the other jokes and highlights from the weekend:
- CUP THE BALLS, DIRK
- "Jack the ripper." "Seam the ripper!" "Fart the ripper!"
- "This con is two minutes big!"
- "Yaoi? Is that the thing with gay men?"
- ~Indeed-Cosplay is apparently a group of klutzes and should not be trusted with open ramune bottles.
- Ron sat in a giant bowl/vase on one of the tables and some lady passing by thought he'd get arrested for it.
- "'EY. The front desk doesn't need to hear about peen!"
- "Wendy! Come to bed!"
- It's okay, Joker. Wendy and Peter's bodies are basically the same in the dark anyway.
- Dagger's grandpa slept with his woman. GREAT GRANDPARENTS DID NOT APPROVE.


Shoutouts to and everyone else whose dA accounts I do not have. Seeing you guys is what makes these events such a blast every time. 8D <3 (And that goes for all my friends, whether you regularly go to cons or not. I STILL LOVE YOU GUUUYS.)
