Otakon and other things
WELP, I wanted to post an entry about Otakon...ohh. A whole lot sooner than this, lol. But despite being very NOT busy, life has FELT busy. Or something.
Anyway, it was really awesome fun, I bought FAR too many random things, saw lots of people and had a really great time for the most part. But I just wanted to sort of...list off some of the things that stick out the most to me.
- CHOCOLATE. Or, uh, Kari made everyone truffles! They were so, so good and I'm sad that they're all long gone by now. >_>
- As usual, there were fun cosplay pictures! This year, though, I was actually in cosplay! XD As Eldryia. It was a costume that got thrown together so last minute, it's practically a miracle it worked as well as it did. I have an entirely new respect for her now, to carry around such an annoying ball-and-chain attached to her ankle! O_o
- We played a really, really fun game of apples to apples as our characters...XD;; While Nako drew our characters...stripping. LOL. Of, course, for whatever reason, what stuck out to me the most about that was...this quote. (paraphrased, forgive me!)
Nat: Oh, yeah, Gaston would definitely bend over! ^_^ ...*worried look* What, exactly, are we talking about?
I have no idea why but...it just...for some reason remembering that never fails to make me smile, haha. But many laughs were had and it was a great game all around.
- Watching Nako and Xenon brutally tear apart crabs! It was actually very interesting to watch. And so messy! Crab parts and juices everywhere AHHHH!
- Getting to meet Tessa, the creator of Hanna is Not a Boy's Name! Even if I had to stand in line for like an hour to do so. And Uny was a real sweetie and lent me a bit of money so I could actually get a sketch! >_>
- Chocolatea. That place was amazing. Their hot chocolate was just...the best I've ever had, truly.
Really, it was just great getting to hang out with everyone, and it was over far, far too quickly! D:
