Wee! Just got back from two days at Anime Expo. Also best 4th of July ever...

So to AX started Thursday and ended today but I didn't go all four
days cause i'm lazy and I didn't want to pay that much for parking.
I live like 15 minutes away from it (if I go 80 on the freeway lol)
I was just going to go on Sunday and didn't plan on going on Thursday
but I woke up Thursday morning and just randomly decided that I'll go.
So I get there and I try to find people so I called C4tspajamas/Cat but
she said she was at the hotel a few blocks away taking a nap cause
they had been running around at the convention all morning and told me
to call Axelai/Rachelle since she was still here but at a Pokemon gathering
and it took me a while to find it and eventually I did see the massive
gathering of Pikachus sitting on a wall.


Here are just SOME.

I did see some gjinka cosplays that I liked like this Houndoom here:


This girl made a giant Furret!


but there was just way too many people there and I couldn't find Rachelle
so I just stood away from the crowd and I noticed a small gathering of
disney cosplays right next to me and I was like sdkljfghkdljfshkjfhjkfghfgh
and then soon after bri-chan showed up in her Alice costume and I was like
ALJGHKLDJFHGKJDSFHKGJHDK FJGKDLFJHGI&%^&*?!#?IERGDFHGKFHBJKVNBKJHFFFTTTT
and I asked to take a picture with her haha. Then more and more disney
cosplayers showed up and I just kinda left the pokemon gathering and followed
them instead haha.


AMAZING Tinkerbell costume <3


Peter Pan rescuing Wendy after the Tinks had tried to tear her apart. They're not
too pleased about this.


Aurora and Briar Rose twirling!


Bri-chan C:


Christy as Ariel and her voice is being taken away by Vanessa/Ursula! Oh no!


I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ariel on the right. She has such a cute bubbly
personality and she's looks like she's singing her heart out here.


CUTE POSE.


It's Giselle!!!!!


This guy did such a great impersonation of Jack Sparrow vocally and really
capturing his personality


Oh no! Run Ariel! or...hop since you don't have legs.


Twirling!


My favorite twirling shot.


All of the disney group including Esmerelda, Snow White, Maid Marian, Fellow
Pixies, Kida, and others. Belle, Pocahontas, and Mulan were others that were
seen but not at this gathering.

After that Rachelle and I headed inside and looked around Artist
Alley and I saw alot of my friends and classmates there selling their
work and then I saw these two Silent Hill nurse costumes and I was like
I wonder if I know them....so I looked closely at the back of one
of their ears and saw a familiar tattoo on her neck and I was like
YES IT'S PING AND CHRISTINE.


I didn't take these but these are them.



Then Cat called us and told us where to find them and she
was with skratch234/Kody and robozombiekitten/Chelsea and we headed
outside and waited in line for the bus to take us back to their hotel
but while waiting Chelsea had an asthma attack and wasn't feeling well
and we wanted her to get back safely so Cat asked if there's anything
she can do and Kody said that Chels just needs a little bit of caffeine
so when we got to the hotel Cat and I made a MAD DASH to the bar and the
shops looking for Mountain Dew and then we finally found some and ran
back to the elevator, up to the 25th floor, and ran down the halls
and into the room. While Cat made her way to help Chelsea I was
approached by a 3 people at once going "omg Immy? Is that Immy?
Omg it's Immy!" And I was like ^_^' hello yes it is i. Can't
remember all their dA names right now but one of them
was bohemian-moon! And they were all so nice except Rachelle's
bf who would come creepily close to my face. Haha no he's cool.
But he'd be like "Are you Immy?....Are you...Imagec0rrupt3d?" And I'd
be like O.O yes. yes i am. And we just kind stuck around the hotel
for a couple of hours and we were stalking people below us in
the pool and we were stalking this big guy in this red shirt.




Look how high we are!

And then we placed Cat's pikachu and Rachelle's Raichu on the window
and so they stalked people as well.


And Chelsea was feeling a lot better and she showed me a drawing
that she did of me and her together ^_^


And I don't know how she does it but when ever I'm not looking
she'd lift my plaid skirt to see what underwear I'm wearing
and KLSGHDJKFGHDFKJGHDFG I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT I NEVER NOTICE WHEN
SHE DOES THAT?????? SHE DID IT LIKE 5 TIMES AND PEOPLE WOULD JUST
LOOK AT ME AND BE LIKE UM...IMMY? And I'd be like what? and look
down and there was Chelsea with her head up my skirt and I'd
be like KDFJGHKDSHGUSRHFDJKGHKFJHGKFGHFGH
HOW DID I NOT FEEL/NOTICE THAT?????? A ninja she is.....a true ninja.....

So we chilled out, had some pizza, stalked people in the pool,
watched some you tube videos, and poked each other silly. And
for those who have spoken to me in person you'll know that
I have TERRIBLE hearing. I can hear a mouse squeak from a
couple of yards away but I MISINTERPRET what people say
to me SO BAD. So when Rachelle's bf was tickling her and
she asked me to use my Magical Powers to stop him I
somehow heard Menstrual Powers which just made it
more interesting xD Cat, Chelsea, Kody and I made our
way down to the 4th floor of the hotel to the Gaia
dance party and we danced there a bit and then head
back up and Kody pointed out the warning sign in the elevator.



Then we came back to the hotel room and chilled a bit
and Chelsea actually got Cat into a corset haha too bad
I didn't take snapshots of that. And then they're like
oh we're going to a rave later and I'm like oh i've been
to a rave and they're not really my thing so I'm gonna
take off and see you guys sunnndaaayyyyy and then
masterofraviel showed up and we're like OH HAY LOL.

I'm surprised I didn't see that many Kingdom Hearts cosplays this year.
I saw like two axels and a good amount of soras, roxas, namine, and kairi
but didn't see too many org members. Saw a sitar with no Demyx and I saw
ONE Marluxia. And one Larxene. I was totally expecting a bunch of
org13 members with their gag weapons. Oh god that would have been
priceless to see.

So the next day my friend Kelly called and asked what I was
doing that night for the 4th of July and I was like...nothing
so she was like oh i'll kidnap you and we can go see the
Disneyland firework at our friend, Robert's, house and I was like
yay CB so we get there and Robert and his friends were chilling
watching an Angels baseball game that was going on like 3 miles from
where we were and we can see the stadium from their rooftop. And then
up there around 9 and we had a reallly nice view. There were firework
shows going on all around us and then we looked at the Angel stadium
and they had won so they started their firework show and around the
same time Disney started theirs and they were pretty close together
so we could see them both standing in one place. Though I have to say
the baseball fireworks were a little better. I think Dland extended
their firework show for the 4th of July they also added red and blue
star shaped fireworks but the baseball game had that too PLUS sperm
fireworks. Srsly. It's fire work that flies up and looks and wriggles like
sperm it's hilarious. After that we headed back downstairs and played
with the wii but then I was more interested in the pet rats that
they had.


Three rats ^__^ They actually don't bite you, they lick you like dogs xD


Aw my fav. one, Elfie. She was so cute and chubby and a little
attention whore. I was sitting in the chair in front of the cage and I
looked back at them and Elfie comes running towards me and stuck her
nose out of the cage bawwww


I got to hold her and play with her CB


I fed her some nacho chips and put her in my shirt and let her wander around xD
She seemed to enjoy that.

Then I played some Smash Brother Brawl, Mario Kart Racing, and Star Wars on the wii
and then Kelly and I left around midnight. The I woke up next morning early to
do my hair for my lolita cosplay and then I went to pick up Kelly and we drove
to AX and when we got there we met up with our friend Tony and he was like
you know there is a Pedobear running around....
and I was like....i need to see this.
And this random guy DECIDES to join in our conversation but he doesn't even like
CONTINUE the conversation. He was apparently dressed up as his Naruto OC. And
we went on and on and on about it and he was mainly directing himself towards
Tony cause he knows more about anime and poor Tony would look at me every once
in a while and give me a "oh god make him stop talking" look xD and then Tony
turned to me and was like hey you know Mana was here and I got to escort him?
(Tony works as a staff at AX) and I was like LSKRJGHKFJGHDFGDFGKL YES I KNEW
HE WAS HERE AND NO I DID NOT KNOW YOU GOT TO ESCORT HIMMM. TELL ME. IS HE
AS PRETTY IN PERSON AS HE IS ON SCREEN AND IN PICTURES?????????? and Tony is
like well he was wearing a big hat and glasses so it was hard to tell. And
then that naruto guy STARTS TALKING again but not about Mana. No. HE GOES
BACK TO TALKING ABOUT HIS OC AND HOW HE GOT HIS COSTUME? IT'S LIKE...WE DON'T
CARE. YOUR COSTUME IS NOTHING SIGNIFICANT NOR DOES IT LOOK VERY NICE OR
PUT TOGETHER. JUST PLEASE STOP TALKING TO US. aauuurrrggghhh. Too bad none of
us were blunt or forward enough to say that to him. Eventually he left and we
just kinda stayed behind so then the three of us started talking and this old
guy with a camera comes out from behind this pillar and took a picture of me
and I was like kasjdhgkdjhfgdfg that was creepy, you're like 50, not dressed up
and you didn't ask to take a picture of me...what are you going to do with
that picture? Please don't fap to it like the guys at Comic Con last year....

Anyways Tony had to get back to work and Kelly and I didn't have badges to
get into the dealers hall (where you can buy things) so we headed up stairs
and chilled until we found some friends who had two extra passes that they
can lend us. And while we were waiting I caught a glimpse of these two:


Tails and Knuckles. They were quite the attraction since people kept
trying to get picks of them.

And here's kelly trying to snipe them with my umbrella.


LOL ME. Sorry for the Bidoof. If you want to see the picture w/o
the bidoof you'll have to see the Friends Only post cause I'm weird like that.



The Kelly's friend Brian found us and was like oh hey we have badges
you guys can use since we're all pooped out and already did everything we
wanted to do so Brian gave me his badge and Kelly got his friend's badge
whose name I can't remember but I do remember we had a hard time pronouncing it.
So yeah we were guys for the day since our badges said so. But they don't really
check the name on the badge, just that you have one. So we went in and
walked around Artist Alley so I could go bother some people I know and then
we met up with Cat, Chels, Kody, and their friend and we just wondered around
looking at stuff people were selling and Chels stopped by the yuri booth and
I played with Cat's pikachu and her fox tail haha and then Rachelle met up
with us and then we just chilled at the convention lobby waiting for people
to show up and we took some pix.

Me and Chelsea


Me and Cat


(lol again if you want to see the pix with out the bidoofs it'll be in
the Friends Only post. Again cause I'm weird like that.)

There's a Chelsea under a hidin' under my umbrella.



Pika Booooooo

She's been trying to lift my skirt all day trying to see my underwear all day
but has failed due to the insane amount of ruffles in my skirt but she actually
managed to catch it when I was squatting and talking to Cat skdjghkdfgfdhgdfg
I was like damn it I didn't even think you can see it but apparently Chelsea is
a ninja.

And this other guy (around 30 or 40 years old) taps me and asks me for a picture
and he was like OH YEAH I WAS EYEING YOU SEVERAL HOURS AGO WHILE YOU WERE UPSTAIRS
AND I COULDN'T FIND YOU AFTER WARDS BUT I WANT A PICTURE OF YOU
and I was like skjhdkfjghfdkgjhdf creeeeppyyyyy but okayyyyyy.

And then some more people showed up and they had to part their ways
so we said our goodbyes and I took pix of some people and Rachelle's
BF wanted me to take a pic of him but he was frowning so I was like
SMILE and he gives me this derp derp face



And I'm like KDJGHKSDFJGHDKFJGHDFG LOL
oh god that face.
lol.
Aw I'm gonna miss seeing them. I'll have to wait until next year >.<
Then I hugged Cat and everyone else and then I drove Kelly home where her parents
looked at me funny cause I was still in my lolita outfit lol.

Mood: happy
