back, only a little bit dead. :D from ping pong
Okay! |D Well, there was Animania this weekend, so that's where I was if anyone wasn't wondering. :3 After checking the flist: many phoneposts over the last few days. XD I thought, ahh~ that's a brilliant idea! :D I'll just do that - since I'm always lazy about typing stuff up after the fact, but then. Duh. D: There is a camera sitting on your desk for a rea~son, genius. You took pictures. Voicepost + Picturepost = No. :D So I thought I might do a voicepost anyway, since I'd already looked up the FAQ and done the settings and crap, but then the PHONE RANG IN MY HAND. For May. So I took that as a Sign from God meaning, no. Don't waste your papa's money on international call rates without his permission, girl. XD;
Also, I got a haircut. :D
♥
Animania was... tiny. XD There are no other words. I think there were three rooms. One for dealers, and two for screenings/skits/karaoke..? Three dealers, including Madman (well, there was also one artists' table, and one Animania stand thinger). XD; TINY. And quite boring, to be honest. But amusing all the same. 8D
I did, in fact, go as Sanada. :D Completed the goddamned jersey at 4am, con morning. THE SEWING MACHINE HATES ME. Kept spewing thread, and the needle broke three times before I gave up on it (not to mention I was running out of needles >_>), and finished it off by hand. :D; Half my time was spent unpicking things, I swear.
JERSEY OF DOOM. The logo, it is so huge. XD; It took me a godforsaken amount of hours to make, and comprises layers of iron-on patchmender, butchered skivvy, double-sided tape and MUCH PAIN. <-does things the masochistic long way, oh yes. The detail on the sleeves is actually electrical tape. XD; Which came off. But I am really quite proud of the fact that collar came out at all. :D;
Kamio!cosmic_kath and I. :D :DD Who has chicken legs? Yo! 8D Sanada has chicken legs (and a slight nervous instep, too). I am so pale, ick. XD; Also, you can't see them, but randomly bruised! *counted six?* <-could've done a bone fide Shishido. The shorts kept riding up. :D;; I had to wear them low on my waist, because they were my youngest sister's, and well. She is little. And kinda doesn't wear them anymore.
♥
A random assortment of terrifyingly brave girls. D: (Most of these wacky camera angles are entirely unintentional. 8D) I do believe the weather was 14°C, windy and raining somewhat. |D
♥
I got asked twice if I was Echizen. D: Probably only because I had a raquet. 8D;; But, seriously. XD; BRIGHT YELLOW BUMBLE BEE =/= ECHIZEN, YES? (Also, amusingly, there was a group of girls surreptitiously eyeing me from a couple of metres away. |D <-could hear them. "..'s a chick?" Then, I started smiling. XD; "Yeah, a chick." So. Way to look more effeminate = smile. |D;; I need to practice scowling more.)
Only two people (strangers |D) knew who I was, as far as I'm aware. XD; One of them was this guy. He was, um. Slightly odd. 8D; And very professional with a camera, taking multiple shots and stuff. :D; He gave out business cards and asked if he could post photos to his site, which is randomly here. Iii.. don't know how to navigate it. XD;
♥
Echizen Ryoga and his cosmic_kath. ;D I was amused by how he looked like he had ears, and - oh, Kathu~ your expressions of glee are priceless. XD
♥
This guy was so awesome. Omg, his goggles! Mask! Poses! Scarf! And the dude he was with? Opendressshirt!Sasuke eleikjafla! It was so much elkejalkjfalleffel! *puddle* Their hair was so awesome! 8D; You can't see it too well here. XD; But hey. It was awesome.

Obligatory Badly Taken Photograph of obligatory Good Kakashi Cosplayer. |D <-didn't crop; merely fails at zoom and centre.

When Sanadas try to crawl out of TVs, they die. :D When Sanadas die, their hats fall off.
iniaes as the Ring's Sadako. ;D
♥
I don't know. XD; Crossovers, yeay? Leonard and I.
♥
Oh, man. |D Karen and I were on such a Hyoutei Myu kick.
KATSU'N WA HYOUTEI. MAKERU NO SEIGAK.
(I kinda really fail at poses, too. 8D;)
*INSIGHT* Oresama no bigi ni... yoi na.
♥
This Reno was so full of spunk. |D *hearts*
♥
I really need to watch Gundam Seed/+Destiny, now. XD; There were eight possible characters to get (lucky-dip type thing~ my sister got Shinn Asuka [sp?]), and omg! The Asuran was so cute. :o But I got the grumpy green guy who I have no idea about. Bought another (because, Asuran!), and got the girl (she is a girl..?). 8D; Leo bought me a third, and I got the blue-haired kid with the bad fashion sense. XD;
Actually, I really didn't buy much many articles, all in all. :D Those three, and a tiny Shikamaru keyring. |D The boy is so grumpy! I really wanted to buy Loveless manga/artbook, and Nanae Chrono's Black Moth artbook (which I saw at Manifest last year for $50 but didn't have cash on me at the time elkajflaj..). So that was good. 8D; (Echizen kyoudai plushies were there for ten bucks each! And they had matching oranges. T_T But, I already have a Ryoma plushie and didn't don't need another. XD;)
Pride of yay: $110 artbook. |D The Hikaru no Go one, 'Sai'. 8D *so in love with Obata Takeshi* My favourite series... andand, the guy was selling it for $100. |D;; But then brought it down to $95, because Karen is Honk he didn't want to take it back. XD; *had to get it, then* It's massive (like, 27 by 37cm [10.5x14.5in] size) and hardcover! :D 175 full-gloss pages of gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Obata Takeshi goodness. SO PRETTY. Nobody knows I have it. XD; (Well, 'nobody'. 8D) Not even my sister who was there. :D :DD <-intends to keep it that way. (I'd get shot, otherwise. But. Omg. It is so pretty. *wibbles*). I don't know where to hide it. 8D; It doesn't fit on my shelves. XD; I guess the closet will do.
♥
Didn't end up seeing lethanon after all, but oh well. :D Manifest, maybe! <3
Crashed at Karen's, and... uh. D: Watched more Myu stuff. Cried at Yanagi and Endo being so ridiculously squishy. (Yanagi~ ;_;) And watched a movie called Ping Pong. About, why yes, the world of competitive high school table tennis <3 It was possibly the most wonderfully... er. XD; I don't know. It was awesome. But really, really bad at the same time. Actually, it was bad. :D;; But really, really awesome at the same time. Yeah. And yet again, I proved the ability to sleep for obscene amounts of hours. |D <-didn't have her alarm clock.
So. :D That was the weekend.
Tomorrow, the dentist for two hours and two fillings <3 ...I hate Mondays. XD;
Edit: A couple of cosplayers and a cameraman ran around tapping random people on the shoulder, then standing next to them and BOHAHAHA X-ing. 8D; And getting them to BOHAHAHA along with. XD Possibly, that was the best part of the con <3 Except for the guy who was grating metal-style to high pitched J-rock Rurouni Kenshin theme during karaoke time. 8D In iniaes' words: wailing/screaming/dying karaoke dude! 8D onegai, onegaiiiiiiiiiiiiii~ *screech*
