Hey hey
Well, since I'm feeling slightly more energetic right now, I'll update my journal.
Anyway, I went to Animania on Saturday as most of you probably know. Loki, I'm gonna kill you, you know I will. You sent Kat after me =_=
Anyway, when I got there, there was a hhhhhuuugggggeeeee queue. Naturally, my reaction was like this---> OAO;;; but then I saw John talking to Kat. I went up to them to say 'hi' and where the end of the queue was and ended up merging with Kat's group ^^;;; however, I wasn't there for long because I saw
perfectdays and
miyukiko lining up a few people behind us, so I left Kat's group and went to join my fellow D.Gray-man cosplayers. It was fun talking to new people rather than sticking to my usual crowd. So yeah, when we went in, I went on a spending binge to buy stuff for V's birthday and for my sister as well (I bought Griever!!! yay!!! =D Now I can be at least a little bit like Squall~) and quickly headed upstairs to spend more money on art... mostly from Fiona's table ('cause everyone there has such great art *________*). So after that, we met up with the rest of the group and we headed out to go get photos taken by Miyu's dad but we couldn't even take 2 steps without people asking us to stop >_O;;. When we finally got out, we went to buy cards and then ate lunch. When they ate lunch, I ran back inside to the food fair to meet up with
sil3nt_dreams and
bakashoe but left shortly afterwards to get back to my group who had already started to take photos... so I missed a few ^^;; ah well... I'm an antagonists anyway... why would the antagonist mingle with the protagonists? <-- trying to reason self out of guilt ^_^;;
Anyway, after that, we had a little split up... I just hung around the main hall anyway because... I have no sense of time and so that I could spot people easily when time did come. After that, we went to the marshalling area to wait for our turn for cosplaying and by that time, our feet were aching because we walked around a lot and most of us weren't used to wearing anything with heels. During that time, we talked to a lot of people and I saw a year 11 girl from my school two spots behind us. She was cosplaying Yuna and she looked so awesome *_* so I said "hi" and we talked for a bit. Anyway, we did our skit after that and I think half the people in the audience thought that Kanda was a girl so they might not have gotten the joke *sigh* and the anime is coming out tomorrow in Japan... by this time next year, there were be tons of DGM cosplayers and then, we'll just be there, shaking our heads and saying "So last year~" XD So ahead of our time >=P. What was the highlight of the cosplay comp? There was none since everything was SO AWESOME... the sword demonstration went on for too long though... so yeah... but it was awesome. When the Kurama guy came on Miyu looked so distressed ^^;;; I kinda was too... but meh, I grew out of YYH a while ago so it didn't affect me as much. Micky_P's cosplay was so cool too, NO FACE and then, there was the Kamui and Fuuma that made out on stage... something that made the inner-fangirl in me squeal but what was the best skit of all? Cattypatra's DIRTY DANCING RIKU!!! They really did deserve to win XD so I was so happy when they did and when Ouran got best group, it was so expected... well, at least we got nominated =D.
After cosplaying, I stuck around with Cassie near the front of the stage and talked to people. That was really really nice, meeting people with similar interests... they were all very interesting people... but I'm probably never gonna meet them again... so... yeah *sigh* maybe next year? By then, I probably won't recognise them and vise-versa though... anyway, the cosplay results kept delaying and well, we kept hollering... it's not like we didn't know how much effort everyone put into it and all, we are just... impatient people ^^;;; but yeah, when our group was called out, Cassie and I just stared at each other going "Was that us? Eh? Was it?" and rushed on stage, still confused... though we didn't get anything at the end, I was still really happy to have done it this year and to have met so many wonderful people, unlike last year when I drifted around with no purpose whatsoever, bored out of my mind ^^;;;
Anyway, guys, thanks for all your effort and hardwork. To my group, thank you for being so wonderful and you guys looked fantastic in your costumes. To the volunteers, you guys rock! Thanks for all your hard work in getting everything together and making everything good for us. I hope to see you all next year!
-Love, Nataku
PS. You're dead, Loki, so very dead...
