AN 2011

Yes, so I returned from the con yesterday, and just let me say, I love going. It's a really excellent place to go, and I suggest everyone attend an anime convention. I don't even like anime, that much, and I have a great time. I get to see my friends, spend the weekend hanging out and experiencing things one doesn't normally experience. And I suppose, unlike a comic con, most of the people there are about 15-25. There are a few older people, but usually they're parents or people who liked anime before it became super accessible.

We pretty much grew up with anime, dubbed of course. Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Digimon, etc. And because of the internet, we can really see more. Online manga. I had a friend who would read the untranslated manga for a series she really loved. Crazy...

Anyways, here are some photos of the con. I took some pictures of people and what they were wearing. And there are tons of awful pictures of me!

My friend who I ran into. We had a ten minute hug fest where I hug her a lot for ten minutes. Today is also her birthday, and I very much love her.

I loved these pants >.>

DRAGON BACKPACK! I must get myself one...

This picture does not capture her tallness. 

NINJA WITH LOBSTER! Best thing I've even seen. I even got to touch the lobster ^_^

Snorlax needed to be breast fed.

Barney! What?! Did I mention Barney also had a pedobear mask on underneath...

Posing in the mirror of the hotel. Yes, I actually have friends...

I think I was trying to give a puppy dog face. It epic failed.

We found a Jack Sparrow, but he was a girl. She was also very much in character, and that makes cosplayers so much more fun. I honestly love Anime North. It is amazing. 

And if you want to know what I did... Friday was the J-Rave. It's like a rave where the play Japanese music, but they rarely do. I dance really really badly. I should take a video and you can see how badly. It's a lot of jumping and elbows and such. Sorry if I ran into anyone/elbowed, except for the person who I did that on purpose to. I'll mention this now, I dance dirty. Not in the Dirty Dancing awful grinding sort of sense, but in the if-you-come-near-me-and-bump-into-me-or-something-I'll-kick-you sense. Unless you're a girl. I'm sure if I hit a girl in a club/when dancing, she'd hit me back. Guys don't really hit girls back. And especially at AN. If you hit a girl there, she'd either passively take it or rip your eyeballs out of your face and eat them. Some girls are epic crazy...

I also went to a panel on writing fanfiction. It was somewhat helpful. Apparently I had the wrong definition of a Marysue. I thought it was someone who got kidnapped and was whiny all the time. Apparently it's just an ultra self insertion character. And then I learnt there are tests online. And I took the Mary Sue test, and my fanfic character is not a Mary Sue! I told my parents this, and they gave me these blank looks. 

Also, attending this con made me forget that I am a bit of an internet nerd... So, to get out all those repressed internets stuff out, 9000, brushy bat, double rainbow, troll face. Alright, and I am done with the memes since there are over 9000.  I'll post some outfit pics for today later.

**Note

If you see a picture of yourself and would like it taken down, please tell me and I shall do so as quickly as I can. 

Howdy Y'all!

It's Anime North weekend, and that means awesomeness. I am leaving tonight even though it starts Friday. Everything should be awesome! I love AN, because it's just a wonderful place. Everyone is super friendly and awesome. Plus I'll have lots of pictures for you all!

I passed my G2 road test today. My super cruel parents think it's a miracle. I just think it's because I am good at driving. My sister went for her G2 earlier this week and did not get it, so my parents are being jerks, like always.


See you all in a few days!

So, pretty much, it takes me like forever to get dressed. I change my outfit like 20 times and make a huge mess. Today, that was not so the case. I was kind of thinking Midsummer's Night Dream, except you know, I guess it's less obvious. No faerie wings, floaty dress or flower wreath. Though when taking the pictures, I felt kind of Mat Hatter-ish.

Tank top- H&M

Skirt- H&M

Petticoat- American Apparel

Belt- H&M

Shoes- Joe Fresh

So yeah, I felt kind of mad, and did some awkward dancing whilst photographing myself. I`m 100% dork, and I am not afraid to admit it. I feel like my personality shows more in this group of pictures. 

This weekend is Anime North, and I am hella excited. It`s honestly the greatest thing ever. It`s my 4th year going and I just love spending time with my friends, looking at all the amazing costumes and buying things. I`m not heavily into anime, but it`s a great experience. Perhaps we`ll even go to Yaoi North again! :D

The best thing about this outfit are the shoes. I got them for $5 at the grocery store. And they are SHINY!
