anime expo
last friday i went to my first anime expo! ^_^ but i doubt it will be my last. i was with aki, yuki, mike, and blake. but some of our other friends met us there, too. the day before we went.. yuki suggested that i cosplay light, from death note, since she was gonna be L. it was funny cause we put this costume together literally the day before AX, and we found the perfect pants and shirt at a fabrics store, both of them were only 7 dollars together! (~￣▽￣)~ ♪
the day before was funny, mike and blake were working on mike's sword for his ichigo costume, (from bleach) when we got to blake's granma's house. we stayed there for a little bit, then yuki and aki had horseback lessons, so they went to those. blake had a class at COC from 2:15 to 4:15, to between then me and mike wandered around the campus, we found the machine that'll give you free drinks, if you push the top and let it slam down! :3 so we got about 12 drinks, and stored them in mike's backpack! XD
we left and later that night aki and yuki came back to blake's grandma's. we ended up staying up all night, switching between playing super smash bros, the tv, talking and joking, cooking food, (and making a HUGE mess) and eating it! with blake making the sword in the garage, the saws and sanders were too loud for him to know that the noodle sauce splattered all over the stove, things were being thrown, crumbs were everywhere, and i spilled the salt shaker ALL OVER THE FLOOR! O__o;;;; everyone was going crazy it was chaotic!! ＼(o⌒▽⌒o)ノ we cleaned before he even knew what hit that kitchen, though. (o ＞▽＜o)ノ before that and after, yuki was putting the patterns together, and aki sowing mike's costume, the sowing machine over heated at 6am, and they couldn't finish it! x__x; that whole night was fun, but mike's costume wasn't finished for the first day of anime expo. -￢_￢-;;;;
we all went home for an hour and showered and stuff, then gathered and drove to long beach in blakes car! it was a long drive, and we finally arrived only to wait in line for six and a half hours!! =TT^TT= hahaha the longest line i've ever been in, too. we got in just in time for the J rock show, SKIN. ^_^; a whole bunch of artists were playing. soon after, our group scattered, and it was just me, yuki, and mike. we were totally sleep deprived, =_= and we were passing out in a nice spot around trees on a sidewalk near all the food places. hooray we were AX bums!! °∀°after an hour or so we started searching for blake.. he was at the rave. for a whole hour we looked for it, around the outside of the convention center, since it was at a nearby hotel. we ran into a crazy drunk lady that yelled at us O___x;; and people that gave us the worst directions ever!! >___<;; people even threw crap at us from their car! (´￢。￢｀；) aaaaand that's why i hate long beach. ⌒ω⌒♭
after everyone found each other, we drove back home, or to blake's house. x3 we all slept there for the night, all on the futon or floor.. hahahah!! we overslept a little, and didn't get to long beach that day until 6pm or so. but we had fun, we saw another live show, but ;__; we missed the oreskaband, the japanese ska!! x__o;; ohhhh wellllll. later that day, after walking around the convention center, we went back to our same spot, near the palm trees on the sidewalk, and sat and talked for like 2 hours! some weirdo named david asked us for directions, then stayed to talk. he look 25, or so. hahahaha he gave us candy, and we accepted it as a polite gesture.. hahahaaaa but yeaaaaa after he left we kinda tossed it. (~ -￢ω￢)~ those whole two days were really fun, i was handcuffed to yuki for them too, which was funny, because the yaoi fangirls saw us and freaked out! next time, though, for october's con, i'm going to actually make my own costume. (with the help of my granma and yuki!) ミ☆ (⌒▽⌒= )
