(no subject)

I made it home safe from otakon. What a weekend...so much good stuff in three days should not be allowed ^^

But first..the bad. I did not get Seki's autograph *buckets of tears* I was foiled at every turn. Every attempt I made to get an autograph was met by great difficulty. I did make it to his panel on Friday and for that I am very happy because he is just made of awesome. When he was doing the voices like Yzak and Chichiri I could barely sit still XD That man is my hero and I hope he comes back to a con I go to soon so i can once again try and get his picture.

So now on to the good..in very brief:

1. Kurogane. I officially love deathgod02 forever XD When she showed up at the fountains wearing Kurogane...I will admit it here..Yes I did cry. She was not lying to everyone XD That was by far the greatest surprise ever and it made my entire convention weekend. I had ABSOLUTELY NO idea she had made the costume...and apparently everyone else did and had managed to keep it a secret from me XD Kudos to you guys XD This was how it happened:

Me (with one of our friends): What could she possibly be changing into? I thought they were doing Kingdom Hearts tomorrow.
Friend: Don't know. She didn't tell me.
Me: I wonder how long...*starts to flail* Oh my god a Kurogane! I need my camera..need my..
MAN: Can I take your picture?
Me: *in head* Damnit >_< *to man* Of course *poses*
-once done with picture, realizes who the kurogane is when they get to the bottom of the stairs, runs over, hugs, immediatly breaks down-

And of course...we get asked for pictures as soon as I pull away. XD So sorry to those few because I'm sure Fai was a wreck XD

So yes..many happy Fai moments were made at Otakon this year.

2. Cain. I don't think I've ever had as many pictures taken in my life. but the best part...people's reactions when the wings were extended right in front of them XD I managed to stay in the costume for about 6 hours...much longer then I had anticipated. I probably could have stayed in it longer but my shoulder was hurting for some reason and I had to use the bathroom XD Not a whole lot broke over the course of the weekend..but in all 4 of the 6 wings are now in need of repair. Including one of the large onces which basically snapped at the joint when a huge gust of wind came up on my way to take the costume off. But the costume was a massive success..more so then I even imagined. Now to only finish it XD

3. Jyuunishi Challenge. By far the biggest year yet. Not only did we have the biggest cast (All but Shigure, Ayame, and the rooster) but we had the biggest turn out. We gave away all 13 awards and the entire cast said they would return again next year. This makes me feel good...because I want to make sure I am not forcing people into it, but that they are actually having fun at it. It really was a huge success and I thank everyone that played as well as participated. We WILL return next Otakon.

4. Subaru and Seishirou photoshoot. I swear..this was my weekend of favorite pairings. Hurray for Edgar and being able to go off and take pictures together. He was hilarious and made it very difficult for this Subaru to appear angsty. We got some great pictures and it was fun to hang out.

5. My roommates. I know I was a bit of a pain in the ass XD But you guys...you all are excellent minions friends. Argent and Susan, thank you so much for helping me get into Cain. 2 hours and 15 minutes worth of work to get ready but without you guys I never would have been able to do it. Susan, thanks for being my wing extender ^^ You both make excellent wingmen ~_^ Kakyou, you rock. Plain and simple. I don't know why you stayed with me as long as you did XD Thanks for holding my half eaten apple after every bite when I kept getting asked for my picture. Thanks for being my stool carrier and photographer. Just..thanks. And Sanzo, thank you for being there. For the pictures and the memories and for hanging out. I know I had my grumpy moments but you still stayed by my side and helped keep me company. Thank you for the apple. Cain needed the energy ^^ I hope the pictures I took for you came out just as you imagined. Your new costumes looked great and I hope you enjoyed yourself.

6. Getbackers. Hurray for slowly gaining more members ^^ Kakyou as the great Kagami and Xana as the awesome Akabane make the 2 happiest bad guys ever XD And of course deathgod02 as my excellent Ban-chan who will forever protect me from Akabane XD I love all our new getbackers pictures.

I know there is so much more...but I really can't think of it at the moment.

So simply...thank you everyone..thank you for such wonderful memories.
