um. otakon?
ahaha...ha
soooooo...there's this thing called otakon 2008. It happened...about, oh, 3 months, a week and few days ago?
In any case, it's long overdue especially since it's one of the first things that I promised to talk about XD
FAILURE!
I'm too lazy to post a million pictures, so I'll put up the ones of mostly us (lyse, mike, meg, and myself).
FRIDAY:
first of all, this hotel room was made possible by mike's verizon company discount and lyse's bologna sammiches. meg and i also wasted no time in damning our entire experience witha bit o' bad luck.
mike and lyse were mr. x and maki from an anime called argento soma. it's awesome and the characters have serious no-nose syndrome. they look absolutely smashing. so much so that the shittiness of my camera will not cheapen that.
that goddamn apple XD
slickness
i tell you, there is nothing in the world that can stop this woman from lookin' absolutely bitchin'!!
all right, ya'll. this is high point of otakon no. 1. everybody looks so cute! And let me just say that I have the best friends in the world for not only tolerating my fangirlism but also enabling it...whether that's actually a good thing or not...I'm sure it's at least 50% 'cause it's entertaining to watch me freak out so bad XD I straight up embarassed myself but I just didn't care. We were walking up on the the floor above the fountain area and we look down to gawk like we always do and my hands immediately fly up to smack myself in the mouth and I go, "it's them." lyse was all awesome and was like, "well, go get 'em! they're gonna leave!" And I do that nervous thing where I'm like, "yeah!oh, no, I can't. i just can't...oh god!"
So, we jump onto the escalator and, fortunately, I'm not the only one who wanted pictures so they stayed a bit. I realize how ridiculous I was being because when I look at this objectively I can't take validate it. But I can say that I really wasn't trying to be funny at all XD I was seriously spazzing. they saw me and got a laugh out of it. My friends were like, "Sey's looking at you. ohoho!" it was awful XD i know it was cause I was losing it like an idiot XXDDD
The deed was done and I, reduced to a sobbing weak-in-the-knees blob of a fangirl, held fast onto my friends because if I didn't we wouldn't have made it up the fucking escalator. We made it back upstairs and I proceeded to embarass my friends further by stopping to crouch and cry like the giddy fangirl, that I, evidently, still am XD
really now. I just gave up on getting a grip. thank god I was at a con because i'm too old for this shite. jeezus.
that night, we headed back to our room to prepare for the next day. even after all that work that lyse did on mike's klavier jacket there was still work to be done. So we meg worked on that jacket 'til the break of dawn. during this whole thing, mike had managed to capture meg flipping the jacket around. It freaked us out cause it totally looks like a killer bird demon. I'm sorry if you can't see it. but we can. and it's gonna eat me. also, I had to borrow mike's hoodie because i was a skanky ho and didn't bring warm clothes.
SATURDAY:
saturday was phoenix wright day. fo realz. it was super fun going to the photoshoots and I do have a bunch of pics from those, but I'm just feeling oh so lazy.
But I am diligent enough to say that I HAVE THE HOTTEST EMA AND KLAVIER IN THE WORLD! EVAR!:
"glimmerous foppy mcfopper-ass."
lookin' guuuuuuud.
"LOVE IN AN ELEVATAH! LIVIN' IT UP WHEN I'M GOIN' DOOOOOOOOOOWWN!!" lyse totally called it. nothing would have stopped me from singing that song. I mean, c'mon. we were in an elevator. and given the circumstances, it couldn't have been more fitting.
i love this picture. it looks like a cover of a fanfic novel.
investigating scientifically is so much fun! I love this picture. it's so intense XD we felt a little bad because that is a real marked off scene in the hotel we were staying in...but not bad enough to not use it as a picture op? ;;;
meg takes awesome behind the scenes pictures of the back of us.
please pardon the right side of this photograph. high point of otakon no.2. We had awesome luck and managed to bump into the geass crew again today. I introduced myself and nearly died of sheer mirth thereafter. this is where i learned that, given a situation like this, i exhibit crazy behavior. some guy came around and gave the geass crew some candy, jj's fell out of her mouth onto my shoe...and i ATE IT! MY SHOE HAS BEEN ALL OVER BALTIMORE and i ate off of it...ugh. but jj's awesomeness must have protected me from the baltifilth on my shoe cause i was completely fine afterwards. I'm just glad that my retardedness didn't totally ruin the encounter. it brought people down to the floor laughing. wasn't really expecting that XD
ahahaha...lyse enabled my camwhoring that night. i seriously need to stop puttin my arms up like everyone wants to see my armpits XD
no pictures, but meg and i got to meet brian who we met through lyse and does the amazing pyramid head/"red pyramid", valtiel, etc. He was so nice! and super soft-spoken XD we had lunch/dinner (i don't even remember anymore) with him in the food court. twas splendid times.
hooookay!! SUNDAY:
We were casual superGALS! which means closet cosplay for happy sunday. I love how sassy and cool meg looks in this pic!
note to self: when the dress you're wearing underneath has a built in belt do something about it before you consider layering or be fated to look like lumpy potatoes.
i look like a rapist XD but lyse and meg look tres adorable!!
holy crap, our eyes are so fucking puffy! typical sunday con faces. they're gonna kill me for putting this up. just let me know, you guys, and i'll take it down in a jiff ♥
XX333
MY FRIENDS ARE SO GORGEOUS!! AB-SO-LUTE-LY FABULOUS!! ♥♥♥
c'mon, ya'll! didn't you know? donkey teeth are sooo in! get with it! also, i LOVE lyse's face in this one! so cute! and meg is doing a poor job being emo aya. what can we say? she's a happy girl.
we watched these girls dance for like 40 minutes XD a mario and luigi waltzed on in and filled in the guy parts. they filled 'em pretty good too! it was really cute.
OMAKE!!:
cosplay that made me so happy i had to take a picture:
out of the many many phoenix wright pictures taken that weekend I had to include this one because these apollos are the cutest mothaluvin' apollos ever.
it was soooo fucking pretty O_O i'm more of a chrono trigger fan but i will get around to getting through chrono cross one of these days.
♥♥♥
I. LOVE. ODIN SPHERE.
it might be considered to be a shitty picture but I love it because the lighting is so appropriate. I think it's lovely.
gorgeous yukari ♥
I could see her from a mile away. so cute and pink and cupcakey!
they were cute kids and i love tales of eternia
pretty kickass. and it was a chick inside which is awesome.
also, i am in love with the ring i purchased in the artist's alley.
The make or break of a con can ride a lot on who you go with and I am so pleased to say that Otakon 2008 was so fulfilling in so many ways because of my beautiful company. I had, at the time, gotten out of some really rough and emo shit. I was so afraid that my friends would get exasperated with me but they were more there for me than I could have ever asked for. We all made sure that we had fun and I had a really great time. I was so in need of that.
thank you guys!
