So as those of you that I know in person probably already know, I had the chance to go to the AMAZING Aki-con this year, but I've just now finally found time to do a journal about it.

So on Fri. I went with some friends, most notably zentoko on YT!
Soooooo, zentoko was driving with me in the passenger seat and two more friends in the backseat (she has a tiny car lol) and the first time,, we made the right exit, BUTTT we made the left turn one street too early and ended up back on the freeway headed back home XD

Then the SECOND time I was a TOTAL backseat driver and we missed the exit because of it (oopps XD ) so we had to take the next exit and double back and FINALLY on the THIRD attempt, we made it to the hotel XD

The only costume I wore was my tribal bellydance costume and that was on Fri. and Sat., Sun. I was just too lazy to dress up and just wore normal clothes because I was tired if taking upwards of an hour to do my makeup in the mornings.

On Fri. I got to take a MySpace-style pic with due to Walmart-camera-illiterate friends XD

Unfortunately, my friend ~private-min woke up with the stomach flu on Sat. so she couldn't make it but I got a pic of in her AMAZING Shippuden Sasuke cosplay.

On the whole I spent most of my time in the Manga Kissaten, and I was the one who suggested putting the energy drinks on the pocky tower as turret-things lol. I was also the one who asked Danielle what she would do if Slaveboy fell while in the Gundam suit at Closing Ceremonies.

As for the stuff I didn't like,

the AA and Dealer's room was pretty frusterating for me, I REALLY didn't like having to hear the blaring gamers while browsing for souviners to spend my hard earned money on, also the air quality in the garage made it impossible for me to stay down there and shop for longer than like 10 minutes.

And I almost lost my badge like 20 times because of the lanyard clasp. The design was really cute and original but it got really beat up and I had to re-punch the hole at home because it ripped off even after tapeing the top before I even put the thing on for the first time. I would suggest making the badges out if plastic next year if possible.

But all-in-all, I really had a good time at Aki-Con and I'll try to make it again next year!

Now I'm off to deal with un-reasonable step-sisters, who've attempted to turn off the comp several times while I've been writing this journal. I just LOVE being the oldest [/sarcasm]
