well the trip to otakon was to say the least interesting and fun. like everything there were ups and downs. the night before we left i stayed up all night trying to finish what was left of my costums, and realising that it was almost 4:30 i floored it to kaits place(aka meeting point) got gas and drove there in less than 15-20 mins. then found out i locked my keys in my trunk, pissed off, cause i had my apartment keys with my car keys so i had to find a way to get into my apartment to get my spair apartment and car keys... called home parents weren't too much help, told me to call the all night service at my apartment to let me in, bitching at kait just cause they thought she was being a bad friend. then there was me flipping out cause just the week before i got my car towed, and i'm trying to fight the urge to yell, since it was 5 in the morning. after telling them to leave, cause i would be able to find a way to catch up, they did, i felt better, cause i hate holding people up. anyways wait at there place for 1 hour, then get on the bus and my parents call to tell me that they are coming with another spare.... ya after waiting an hour they finally decide to run the keys up to me (making me wait another 1 hour 1/2 *drive from my home*), i get to my apartment guy calls and can let me into my apartment, so he does, cost me $50 up front... just barely had enough since i gave kait most of my money for paying for the trip. so i wait another 1 hour for my parents to get here, and talk to me again about what happened, and all i said was "i'm done talking about it stop." anyways i finally left around 11. drove the 4 hours, almost falling asleep at the wheel, getting followed buy a person that road my bumper for 3 out of the 4 hours. get lost in the getto area of Baltimore, get asked if i had pot at the gas station i got directions from (turns out i need to drive through the getto to get to the city).
Finally get there meet up with everyone, happy i'm not driving and that i finally made it. didn't really dress up, but went to the con for alittle bit that night with everyone, and looked around, was fun got to see many different things. then getting back to the hotel i realised that we weren't in just any normal room... but the handcap excessible room, with the lowed eye hole and unque shower, was interesting, but i had no complants, i've been in worst and probably paid more. the Sat. was far better than Fri.(i just wanted friday to end but it never seemed it would, pissed me off). got into my costume (Yunsung) and everyone else got into theirs kait(talim) jen(another soul calabuir charater but i couldn't spell the name for the life of me) chad (spike) vonn (naruto) and sean (shirtless snake). got many pictures taken of me in my costume, and many hugs and comments of how they liked that i dressed up as yunsung, i enjoyed it made me smile. went back to the hotel to drop off megs guns, and walked back with the group. more pictures, and waking then finally got back to the hotel for the night, relaxed and fell asleep. then sunday, just a bunch of running around, looking for people, buying of my swords, and only having 2 people take my picture of me in my jim hawking outfit, which made me happy they knew who i was haha. then got back in my car and showed vonn how to get to the highway to get home, lead the way, almost fell asleep again (that tends to happen when i drive alone) made it back home and slept for a good while. I hope everyone had fun, other than the whole hotel issue, which i won't get into, cause i'm not 100% on what happened. and i'm still tired from this weekend, having gotten much sleep, and fell asleep in class today and got yelled at by my teacher haha oops. anyways that is about all that happened, time for a short nap, i need it haha. bye all
