And man I'm pooped.
But it sure was a lot of fun~ X3

Wednesday:
I left to the train station, and rode for roughly 45 min. to NYC.  From there, I took a shuttle and walked over to the bus terminal to meet my friend Jyacchan. =3  We were going to ride the bus together to Scranton, Pennsylvania, but Jyacchan was rushing over from work, and we literally missed the bus by 1 minute!! -o-;;;  So we waited another hour until the next one came... and rode that for about 3 hours...

After the bus ride, we went to our friend JJ's house, and met Matt and Peter there too.  We were all going to go down to Baltimore the next day.  We watched JJ beat Chrono Trigger.  I love the music for that game~   I have the soundtrack, but I've never played it before... =_=;; I don't have the american Nintendo... I wonder if I could find the japanese one somewhere... We also watched a Crayon Shinchan movie that I burned together. XD; I used to grow up watching that show, and I still love it, hahaha.


Thursday:
Left Scranton around.... 1PM? Or maybe even a bit later?  It was definitely past noon, I can say that much.   Bought some food and several bottles of water on the way, went back to JJ's house to pick up stuff (XD; ), and we were on our way~  I'm guessing the car ride took about 4 hours... X_x;;

Checked into the hotel, and walked over to the convention center to pick up our tags... and was devastated by the line of people swirling around the building.   But we lined up anyway, and it wasn't so bad afterall.  Despite the crazy length, it was moving pretty fast. =3  I was so happy when one of the picture choices for our tag was the Freedom gundam~~~ I'm such a dork. XD;  Yes, I got that for my tag. X3


Friday:
We started later than I hoped... I think we were still in our rooms at noon, but ah well.  We needed the time.  Another friend, Will, joined us that day, so we waited for him to get his tag while we readied ourselves with our cosplay outfits.

Here's our group~~ X3

Will as Kamen Rider V3:


JJ as Reno from FF7:


Matt as Rude (with hair XD;; ) from FF7:


Peter as Elena *snickers* from FF7:


Jyacchan as Tatara from Basara:



We went to the Seiji Mizushima panel (director of FMA).  I actually really liked it - he seemed like such a passionate and energetic person with a great sense of humor.  I only hoped that his translator could have sounded more enthusiastic...

Went to Artist's Alley and met awesome people like , , , and ~~   I mean... I found ~mazokugirl's table that time, but couldn't find the actual artist...   Also looked through the Art Show~   And the Dealer's Room~~   I believe this is right about when our group decided to go around the convention separately... We always lost each other when we walked around these rooms. XD;

I saw soooo many cool Gundam models and figures, Will and I were going "aahhhh~~" and "ooohhhh~~~" *o* all over the place. XD;;;  But I didn't get any of them... they were too huge to carry back home, since my bag was already packed as it was with my cosplay stuff. -_-;  Plus they weren't cheap... But I did buy an Athrun plushie!!! X3  I wanted to get a Shinn one too, but they sold out... T_T  Also got Suikoden doujinshis~~~ I couldn't find my top choices (anything with Luc or Sasarai in it XD; ), or at least I thought so until I flipped through one of them....

It had Luc...




SCORE!!!! XDDDDDDDDD


I checked out the Gundam SEED doujins, and was amazed that the entire collection left consisted of KiraxMwu doujins... O_o;;  ..........yeah... I passed on those.....  Leave Mwu for Murrue, dammit!!!

I later went to the Gundam SEED photo shoot~~~   That was really something...

More pics!! XD

Hail ZAFT!!:


Shinn bonking Kira (me XD;; ) with a Haro:


I kicked him back later... but I didn't have that pic in my camera, buuuuu T___T  I hope someone else will upload it sometime soon, 'cause keeping that leg up wasn't very easy... in fact, it was rather painful... XD;;

Cagalli stepping on Shinn XD;; :


Two Kiras:


Yeah... we had two Kiras in that outfit that day... and like... 5 Lacus... XD;;;;

Oh yeah.  There was this really enthusiastic and good Yzak cosplayer, and she helped me with taking some photos and poses. O_O  Thank you so much Yzak!!  I'm still new to this cosplaying thing, and I wouldn't have been able to think of any of those poses and shots in a million years. X_x;;

Like this one *giggles* XD;

We also tried a KiraxLacus kissing scene, roflmao!!!! XDDDDD;;;;;; Yaaa, make a clueless n00b pose for a kissing scene, hahaha.

And so we gave it a try...

...and I started laughing, I'm sorry... XD;;;

...and we tried again... XD;

...ya... sorry... ; It ain't easy when you've never had someone's face that close to yours before, aiiii~~~ @_@;;;;


Uhh... after that I changed into my Sasarai oufit~   Went back to Artist's Alley and found ~mazokugirl at last! XD And ended the day with the AMV contest.


Saturday:
Mostly the same stuff as the day before.  Except I lined up for the autograph for the FMA director + voice actors... and after standing in line for nearly an hour and a half, they decided to quit it, just about two groups before I was about to get my turn.  That really sucked... T_T

Another Gundam SEED photo shoot. XD;  But this time, with Bleach shinigamis killing us off. XD;;;  Those shinigamis were jealous, just because SEED got to be around for two seasons, ehehehehe~~ *snickers*

Athrun about to smash a Haro on a shinigami

He was gonna execute Lacus.... O_O;;;

OMG he killed Kira!! O_O;;;

Watched some of the Masquerade.  Sat through the Kumiko Kato concert before it. We were amused by all the people waving stuff in the air... like their cellphones, plushies, Ichigo waving his Zanpakutou, and someone waving their LAPTOP (it should be a little next to the huge fan).

We left at 9PM to get to Will's cousins house about 30-45min. away to stay for the night.  It was a squishy ride. XD;  6 people in one car...yah... not comfy...   And it didn't help that we didn't know how to get there!! -_-;;  So Will called up his cousin with his cellphone as the car drove this way and that way... and we eventually got there, thank goodness. XD;  His cousin was a really nice guy, and so was his wife.  Such awesome people.

The rest of the night was spent with much World of Warcraft and Guild Wars played by the guys and observed by the girls. XD;  This lasted until 2AM.


Sunday:
Not much done today.  We got to the convention center at 1PM, just in time for Piano Squall, which surpassed my expectations by far.  it was incredible!! *_*  And it was so sweet when this couple were called up to the stage, and after Squall played Aeris' theme, the guy proposed to the girl!! X3  So so sweeeeeet~~~   And Squall topped it off by playing the victory theme from the FF series. XD

After that, I had to head over to the train station... and the guys in the group were so nice to let me ride with them to the station. T^T  Thank you so much guys!!  Then I just....sat... for a little less than 4 hours... in the train... and now I'm home. =3


Yah... I didn't wear the Sasa outfit that much... just once on that Friday night. -_-;  I was planning to wear it Sunday too, but I wasn't so sure about it after thinking over my train schedule and everything... so I decided against it.  Here's a group shot of Suikoden cosplayers from last year that I have.  I'm all the way on the left~ [link]

...and I DID take photos other than Gundam SEED ones at this year's Otakon. XD;; I just didn't put them up here.  Just look through the rest of them here.

Good night then~~ I go sleep now
