AI was SO much fun! I've made myself at home in the forums, and became involved in a lot of series and shoots, so I ALWAYS had something to do XD

Friday
Arrived at the con hotel around 10-ish or so in Blair~ got my badge SUPER fast since I pre-registered :3 I met my friend Annica who was cosplaying as Ash (freaking cuuute), Sophiana who was SNJ sasuke, and Teny, who hadn't changed yet, all in line. Then dunkmeinariver as Stein caught up with us and HOLY SHIT his Stein was awesome--his screw clicks really loud, and he even made a scythe : D

Moving on, I met up with Harukoshi and Temanocosplay after getting my badge, and met up with them being Eruka and Medusa  respectively. Then I waited in line with Haru for like 2 or 3 hours to get her badge XD there I saw Malindachan as Gary and HAD to take a picture. Her wig is seriously amazing *_* she's really kind in person, and actually kind of...shy? XD

we later met up with Momokochi and we got SO many pictures taken! I was stunned XD Unfortunately, my hat kept on FREAKING FALLING OFF D<<< and it wasn't until I walked to a mirror to fix it was when I realized "...Wow, I made this thing huge." And CNJ was like "No shit" XD it was REAL durable considering it was made out of foamies, a music folder, a witch hat, a foam board, and lots upon lots of hot glue. the only thing i had to buy was the witch hat--everytihng else was around the house XD

we went to Pokemon, which Anni headed and it went SO SMOOTH for such a large shoot! and toooons of great cosplays : D

we went to the First Vocaloid shoot, which was pretty good~ afterwards we held Soul Eater, which was AWESOME. It was really especially awesome because the only witches were from CNJ XD

After this, I bolted to my room to  change into Denzel for the shoot, but I had to wait because I didn't have everything for my cosplay :/ I was supposed to host it, but it was a disaster because someone took over and wasn't organized at ALL.

and then the next page if you want to see everyone agree with me XD

after FF, I went up to change once more into Lelouch, cut and styled my wig the wonderful Teny bought me in like 5 minutes, and ran off to YGO. The Yu-Gi-Oh! shoot was AWESOME. First we were on the back patio, where I was with Anni, Deanna, and Sofa I think and we took pictures of Malindachan in Yusei : D We asked her some questions and touched her wig haha. She's sooo nice. We got rained out, so we had to move inside to the stairs. But YGO was ROFL. Fanservice everywhere, all the time 8D and then we yelled CARD GAMES ON MOTERCYCLES which got yelled many times during the con XD

After YGO was Code Geass, which was hosted by Deanna (an amazing Zero cosplayer) and I. It went nice, and it was simple and fun--not too many people to be a hassle, but definately enough : D it was held in the library, which was a nice location, but the lighting sucked D< oh well XD

Then meet and greet! it was SO FUN. I love the mods : DDDD

I then went to my room and changed into casual lulu, and we went off to perkins to eat. First time I ate all day, and I think it was...like 10:30 at night lulz. ate, hung out, uploaded pictures at my hotel room, and went to bed.

Saturday
Woke up and put on my Neliel cosplay : D i was kinda pissed because I cut my shirt too short and flashed like 230943289048 people with my hot pink bra u.u i went to dealers room and commissioned something from an AWESOME pokemon artist, then, pandora hearts, dealer's room again, went to naruto shoot and got pics with a renji and some ichigos, had the Kuro shoot, and then total freak out time for our Kuroshitsuji panel. Everything was totally just like GAHOHMYGODWHATAREWEGOINGTODO the first fifteen minutes, then it went rather....nice. Hopefully we'll host again, we'll see XD everyone said they liked it, so I hope so!

after that, changed to casual blair then masq time! really fun : D then it was boring waiting for the winners lulz. then changed to full blair, ate pizza and  RAAAAAVE! i was up till 4:30 with anni and kuro-samsa w@

sunday

woke up at 8. My god. went to tales shoot as nel, then went to bleach at 10. the patio was SCORCHING i thought i was oging to burn my feet off XD

later i changed to Meiko for the second =vocaloid shoot, and it was awesome :3 I freaking BOLTED down the patio and made it in time for my shot XD

then i went to dealers room, and then autographs~ waited in lin e for like 2 hours for greg XD and a lot of the guests loved my name :3
