[life] - BACK.
Back from Animagic. Best con I've been to to since Lucca 2007, honest. Let's go by day.
Thursday, 30th July;
I slept like 5 hours, and then it was more mauling my hands with finishing Patamon and sorting out my other cosplays. I BARELY finished everything - I literally slaved myself off since Monday after my last exam to get it all done... but yeah, at about 2PM 'Daddy' Strippy came over and hung around for a bit, before Sasu and Draco came by pick me up. That was 10PM. I took Allen's pants (still wet out of the washing machine) onto a clothes hanger and took them with me into te car still wet. Yeah. We went to get Mie and get the roof carrier on - but Strippy broke one of the holds. u.u; It held out anyway. Midnight met us halfway through the Karavanke tunnel from Slovenia to Austria.
Friday, 31th July;
Ever wondered how 3 people slept in a backseat of a car? I didn't really, but - yeah. Like Dominos. God help me, after 1000km and 13 hours of ride through the night we somehow made it to the hotel by 1PM. Our GPS died a little way out of Bonn. Cue panic. Cue us trying to understand what the shit the German signs were saying (shouldn't those be at least in English, too?). Tho the overall mood was good. We sung, we poked fun out of the state we were in, and so on. Came to the hotel to realize Lavi made wrong reservations. We had the lady fix the reservations; which put Strippy, Mie and I in the same room. I dropped my bags on my bed and literally went back to work. I fixed Timcampy's wings (sort of), did my cursed hand dressed up as Allen (the shirt + red ribbon type). I thought I forgot to bring my boots, so Mie lent me her black sneakers and we hoped it wouldn't show. >_> I did my exe-curse with red duct tape, etc... and bound really hard. I could barely breathe. x_X; I felt every bump and every push and shove on our way to the con. I couldn't wait to get out of the car - but of course we had to get lost on our way...
So once there it was something like 4PM, lots of people, but it was a small con. We met up with Eniko and some toehr people we knew there. Heaps of DGM people. @_@ A Noah Allen gave me a vanilla Black Devil cigarette to smoke together! <3 I at first didn't want to smoke it at all, but Sasu ( Devitto) convinced me to share it with her, so... we did. XD I don't smoke usually, but I know how to and since it was a gift~
Nothing too much happened that day that I can remember. We went home after 3 hours with every intention to go back to the hotel, not having slept the night nearly at all. We got lost again... at which point I got pissed off enough to actually pay attention to where we were going and half-saved people from ending up in Koln. Not that Koln isn't awesome, just... yeah. *facepalms* It was a good thing though, because we found a McDonalds on our way and got some dinner before crashing in the hotel.
My cellphone was being a bitch, so I sent Nick a txt about the next day; and then started working on the Michael wig, which made me want to cry it was so goddamn awful. It didn't want to curl. u.u; I spent a ridiculous amount of time on it, before just spraying it up and leaving it to dry. I slept like the lead.
Saturday, 1st August;
Woke up at 6:30AM, dressed as Byakuya and worked some more on the Michael wig. I managed to tie it... but I was really despairing by this point. I hope I can shop it up a bit... Either way, we had breakfast, when I noticed Nick had sent a message back to my friend's cell to call him; which I did immediately. We agreed to meet by Beethoven's head at a point; which we did. Cue glomping. XD And talking. And andand... we we hung around for a long while, he eventually dissappeared to his friends every now and then for a while, but basically was more with me. <3 So... I claimed a Rukia sister. A random one, cuz we didn't have one in out group and she was so sweet~ <3 Basically I dragged everyone down to the riverside (Nia (Szayel) took a WEEK to get there with her released form... X_X;) to practice the skit. Thing was, we missed it. Which was mighty fine by me, actually. >_>; So I went to have some pics with my afore claimed sis instead and then ran off to get Nick again to change to Keru.
I change in the car. XD I dropped my pants in front of him. Well, he was watching~ XDD The lulz were epic. This is the point where the con took a whole new awesome turn, actually. I was slightly self conscious about the beige shorts and my huge hips, but er... I forgot about it by the time I was being lead around the con underarm. Also the pics we took... I don't think Strippy realized why we COULDN'T do 'in-character' pictures. What would that have been, I'm afraid to think...
We met some other Digimon cosplayers that had a Digimon meeting. BECAUSE IT WAS 1ST AUGUST. TEN YEARS SINCE SEASON ONE! <3 Such a memorable date. We took some pics, and then we were off again. Mie didn't feel okay, so I asked her to gove me her ticket for the day so I could give it to Nick; and so we went of shopping inside for stuff. Nick fell in love with a Soul Eater bag and some posters... while I ganked the last Kon cellphone holder (HELL YEAH!). Lots of pictures were taken by then; I managed to learn how to balance my patamon on my head. XD His wings flapped when I moved, too.
I met a random Asian Sora who was really sweet too (And no, Nick, he's not my boyfriend - you're just teasing me cuz you're jealous!). Before deciding to... go on a 'date', sort of. We went to a Subway and had a sandwich split in half... and I know squat of German, but I think we got mistaken for a couple (cuz he ordered for me?). Sorry? xD So we went outside to find somewhere to sit... and the sandwich was really good, but I managed to only get a half of my half down; I couldn't eat the rest because of my binding... so Nick finished it off instead. <3 Then it was store-time, we needed something to drink. We talked heaps; about random and less random things, and slowly went back tot he con. We went inside one last time, mostly to look for the rest of my friends; thank you for looking for them with me. <3 Such a gentleman~ but they found us instead just as we wanted to exit the hall. We slit up then, with him promising he'd make some time for me the next day. He also said something about a concert... which I transmitted my ma friends later and they wanted to stay and see. I... didn't want to nag to him at this point; I essentially kept him away from his friends the whole day, so I just stayed with my group and partied on - dressed as Takeru XD That was neat.
We came home exhausted; but I took a bath anyway; I really really really wanted it.
Sunday, 2nd August;
Woke up at 6.45AM, had breakfast and dressed as Ben10. Whom nobody seemed to recognize. O_O So... I wanted to change back into Byakuya, but my friends forgot to bring the white hairpins. So I had to go Takeru (not that I minded, even tho I look better as Byakuya, imo). Since my group intended to just wander around aimlessly, I instead txted Nick to meet when he was ready again; they were taking some group Pokemon photos while a sweet Kari found me and told me there was another digimon meetup and I went with her to wait for the others... I met another 02 Kari, too! O_O and then there was a third Kari with a Daisuke. u_u; They were all holding hands and really clingly, so I stuck to my Kari instead. ;P And my Nicky. What the heck ever~ xD Also, we met a really sweet Ken! He gave me candy. XD And a lovely Jyou and Mimi... and Biyomon and Renamon! @_@ I got kids wanting photos too, the little bugger even told me 'thank you' in English cuz I let him hold Patamon for the picture! *cue ultra squee here* I have no idea how many times I got stopped for photos... I got told I was the best TK around? *flattered* ;_; That was touching... This made up for all the hard work in sawing the costume. It's also amazing motivation to get better; I'm gonna do my best to really be the most awesome Takeru all around by Lucca...
Nicky... SPANKED ME. AND GROPED MY ASS. AND WANTED MY SHIRT OFF. Just you wait, you sexy Ruby, you! XD But that's okay, cuz I made him BEND OVER... I think the Jyouji form Weiss Cruz asked if we're dating gain? Not 100% sure, my German is patchy at best... I think we freaked Biyomon out some by randomly having some semi-IC the__digiverse banter. IT'S NOT TRUE MIKEY WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR KERU, DAMN YOU. XP
Then it started raining. We ran like hell froze over, but got wet anyway. Oh yeah, we got wet in the rain, standing under the same umbrella, wasn't that really romantic? <3 Actually, not. Not when you know you left a poster behind and when your cotton-filled Patamon is getting soaked... but okay. XD I'd still have wanted a pic of that... he later unzipped my hoodie cuz it was wet - said stripping me was his job. Again, GODDAMN, I wish somebody would have filmed that! XD Fanservice on a stick, that was. Still, we should do that again for Lucca, cuz he's coming! He has to. I'm talking to Matsu tomorrow, if we can squeeze him in, we just have to! >_< I want my Mike for Lucca! <3 (never mind that Lucca's like... the biggest con EVER, four digits of people just onstage each year, never mind the unbreakable crowds that pound the streets of the old city walls and huge pavilions of panels that stretch from plazza to plazza... I promised he gets a Patamon of his own if he comes, so... he has to. xD I would have sent it either way, tho, now that I have a pattern, no stress?
Anyway, he had go at about 4PM to catch his train and I walked him to the station like a good ex-bf should. u.u; Goodbye could have been more tearful... but I hope the massive hug summarized that I had an awesome time. ^^ I hope he had it, too? Even tho he had to be a translator? And labeled me a pedophile, a sugar daddy collector, a boy (yay? xD) and er. I forgot the rest of the list of offenses. I dunno about him, but I didn't feel awkward at all, it felt truly natural. Like we'd talk on MSN, but better; with all th real hugs and lovin'. Thank you so much. <3 I hope you'll let me take you on a second date in Lucca in November~?
After that I soon found my friends. A random person from the Digimon group came back and hugged me? x////x? And some Narutos took my pictures... and Imp-mon. ;_; she was so adorable. She ran back into me inside and clung to me for like half an hour. So cute. <3 Then Helli (another guy from the group) found me. And fed me pizza, cuz I haven't eaten till breakfast. And then took me inside and sat me at the karaoke. He also fed me salad int he hotel. ;__; And we had a huge debate about lj rpgs, he said he's really interested in them. ^^
On our way back, I volunteered to go by train; so we ran into Ken again and took pictures! X3 We got lost (...) but managed to find our way again. XD Yay for subway maps? Helli took pics and videos of us getting lost. Should be amusing...
Either way, we them bunkered in his room and drew and discussed RPGs and eventually everyone gathered around and we talked about the con and laughed an joked. I love my group sometimes. For all the drama that comes with it, sometimes we're like a family, and this was one of those times.
Monday, 3rd August;
Woke up at 7AM, had breakfast, hugged everyone and left; 13 hours of ride back - good god. I wish we can get a plane next time, seriously. X_X; Even tho I think we'll be in London next year
But yes. I'm home, I'm dead, and I need to shower and sleep now; Lucy's coming tomorrow.
My summer vacation, short as it will be, has finally begun. And in the best possible way. <3 YAY!
