omg there's finally an option to switch back to plain text mode! just when i'd gotten used to this one *grumble*
gah so much has happened!!!
but first, AMA in a cut bcos i have so much to say abt it!!!!!!
So me and my mom drove down to ohio on thursday (of last week) so that Natalie and Ian would have a shorter drive from Kentucky to pick me up. They got to my grandparents' house friday morning and then we took turns driving to Richmond, VA until 11:30pm when we got there. Breakfast took a little longer than i liked, because they decided to eat at a restaurant in case there wasn't food at the convention, since Ian needs sugar or bad things will happen. But i had the BEST EVER waffles with strawberries and caramel and whipped cream and syrup and sugar. Natalie had to finish half of it for me tho lol. So, then we went and i got a pre-registered badge and they bought ones just for Saturday,and then we began our wandering. We got to see the AMVs, but they saved the comedy ones for the end---altho it was worth the wait, bcos they were HILARIOUS. I grabbed an extra list so i could remember the names, but i think i left it in virginia or kentucky... Oh, and we all forgot to bring cameras but Ian had a nice camera phone for emergencies so it was kinda ok.
Anyway, my favorite part was watching the cosplay! It was a lot of fun, and i think the best part was the interaction between tech crew and the guy who was announcing everything. Tech crew had a camera and a projector, so they could project everything onto a screen behind the stage, but they also typed up things to project. Here's some of the funny ones i remember:
Announcer guy: *glances suspiciously at screen behind him* I'm always afraid they're gonna say something about me when i'm not looking. *glances back again*
Screen: You smell.
Audience: *explodes*
Announcer guy: *smells self* Well...you try standing under all these hot lights in a three-piece!
Tech crew: *turns everything off*
XDXDXDXD
Then someone from tech crew says, "I wonder who would win in a fight between Darth Vader and a monkey"
And then at some point, they started playing this dance music and the screen said, "Dance, Monkey Boy!" and the audience exploded again and when they started turning the music off, they got upset so tech crew turned it on again, but the announcer guy didn't dance.
Then, there was a group of girls cosplaying as these cats, i didn't kno what it was from tho, and they went off the stage on the opposite side from the announcer guy, and when he came back on he kept walking after them XD and when the audience started laughing, he said "well, wouldn't you?" lololotr.
The screen also said something like, "try shaving off that beard, hippie" to the announcer guy :D I think he may have been a character too, he looked like an amish guy with a flatter hat and a beard/goatee. Not sure who he was.
There was also a musical number with people from final fantasy 7!!! Much roflols. Sephiroth kept forgetting he was a bad guy and started singing and dancing :D:D
I wanted to stay for the entire thing---the intermission and afterwards when they announced the winners, but natalie said the speakers were too loud and they were starting to bother ian too (i was like, it'll get better! stay! stay!) but then the actual cosplaying finished so we left. And then natalie said that we should have taken a picture with the person who cosplayed Vincent, and i was like, YES! WE MUST! It was this girl who looked JUST like him and she had the best costume ever, but we had to go back in to find 'him', and then natalie suggested we just forget about it, but then i said i'd cry myself to sleep for days if we didn't take a picture with 'him'. So eventually we found her and she looked kinda worn out but she let us take a picture with her :D:D <3<3<3 sparkly floating hearts. Ian has it on her phone. We were talking it over later and we were like, "What we said: Can we please please please take a picture with you? What she heard: PICTURE! PICTURE!" since she looked tired and didn't say much.
i can't remember what else we saw, besides the artists and authors stuff, but there were many many many venders there. i didn't buy as much as i'd planned to since everyhting was so expensive, but i did buy a fruits basket cellphone charm, and a Momiji (sp?) bunny, a wall scroll of alucard in all his vampiric glory (oh so pretty), a little badge that says 'pirates', mini handcuffs, a dragon necklace with some chainmail on it, and the 7th hellsing manga.
We got absolutely no free stuff, which was very disappointing because the pre-registration thing was $30, and to pay for saturday was $25. And a lot of the cool things to see were on Friday, which was weird. But it was a lot of fun. We'll have to find a bigger/better one to go to next time tho :D
Then we drove to kentucky, and i stayed at natalie's house for 2 nights and the second day me and Ian drove back to saginaw, and then she drove to detroit for the week.
My bedroom has new paint! yay! The roof is light blue and the walls are aqua, and when the carpet gets here it'll be purple. Sigh, but the room itself is all messed up because of the construction: the one window i have is blocked by a terrible view of the roof of part of the extension, and the rest of it is blocked by trees, so i can't see the sunset (or the sun or any light at all) anymore. Plus the irritatingly large closet blocks access to the window as well. And i'll need to buy a new computer table since i don't have anywhere to put it because of the closet and window. *more grumbling*
********EDIT******* Bollywood Party Reloaded is on Saturday instead of Friday, since we're driving our grandparents down on friday. Otherwise it'll have to be some other week, after Appna and everything...so if there are any major conflicts, let me know. ********EDIT********
Bollywood Party on friday!!! I feel like we need to give it a title, like Bollywood Party Reload or something :D:D. It starts at 4:30pm friday, and finishes around 11am or 12 on saturday. Bring sleeping bags! We're planning on watching Bend it Like Beckam, Kal Ho Na Ho, Where's the Party, Yaar? and something else that i can't remember, and Aladdin!! :D:D There shall be kettle corn, cookie dough, tollhouse cookies, and other snacks. perhaps spicy cheetos.
Fatima has the cutest little kitten ever!!! She's white with orange stripes and they named her Simba O.o. She was so hyper, and everyone kept wanting to hold her instead of dancing :D. I was happy because at the end of the practice when people were leaving, she fell asleep in my lap while lying on her back! It was adorable. *wishes she wasn't allergic to cats* Waqas says she should be named garfield. But that's a boy name too. She likes to play around by clawing and biting! Like me! lol well, sometimes. Waqas is bored. But i'm not because i'm on a rambling roll. *meekly apologises to those who read all of this*
Superman on tuesday!!! We need to buy advance tickets because it's playing at 10pm Tuesday (the 27th). Fashion Square, i believe? *must remind parents*
Oops! almost forgot, i FINALLY have Kingdom Hearts II!!!!!! ISH HAPPY! It had the longest introduction tho. And i kinda feel like i enjoyed the first game better...but then i've only been to 2 worlds so far (beauty and the beast and mulan).
*abruptly stops rambling.*
