Anyways, OTAKON. Yeah.
I was less enthused about it this year, which bothered me severely as it approached (since all year I've been like "OMGWILLOTAKONCOMEALREADYIWAAAAANT ;3;") This probably had something to do with the fact that I spent a wonderful five days at Disney World a few days BEFORE Otakon. Which put a damper on the con-wonder. Nothing can quite measure up to Disney~ xD
I'm going to go off on a slight tangent, here... Disney was amazing. I love it, love it, love it. I will never stop loving it and will continue to visit until I get sick of it, which will never, ever happen. So, basically, I'm going to be going to Disney until I die :3
It's all my childhood dreams and wishes all wrapped into one, big place. It reminds me of happier times, but never fails to create even happier ones, for which I am eternally grateful. <3
I conquered my intense fear of the "droppy feeling" which is basically what I call the horrible feeling you get in your stomach when you drop (on roller coasters, etc.) for I rode THE TOWER OF TERROR >D I am extremely proud of this fact and, because I knew no one would believe that I rode such a ride, I brought back a little pass that says my name on it from the gift shop there~ x3 I also rode a bunch of other cool rides that I never would have even considered riding before, such as Expedition Everest, Space Mountain, the Rockin' Roller Coaster... yeah xD
One of my faaaavorite parts of the WHOLE trip, though, had to be lunch with the princesses (I'm a five year old at heart, people... I've told you this xD) I was up and ready and rushing everybody out the door to get to that lunch on time and, boy, was it worth it! When you go in, you get to greet and take pictures with one princess right off the bat and, as luck had it, my FAVORITE princess was right there, waiting! Belle, from Beauty in the Beast (love her, love the Beast, love that movie... LOVELOVELOVE) So, me, being the mature, eighteen year old adult that I am... squealed like a little kid and passionately threw myself into line to wait to meet her, bouncing up and down with excitement as all five feet and eleven inches of me towered over all the little five year old girls waiting along side me. I think I was even more excited than them xD
Meeting her was FANTASTIC x3 She took the time to talk to me (she called me "princess" and "darling" which made my heart squeeze xD), signed the only scrap of paper that I had on me in one, fluid motion (not even LOOKING at the paper as she did it O.o) and led me over to pose for a picture. I was caught in one big daze and managed to smile stupidly as she put her arm around me and clasped my hand while the photographer (and my beaming mom <3) snapped pictures of us. And, just as I was about to let the moment pass me buy with saying nothing but my name, I grinned at her and squealed out "You're my favorite princess!" She smiled, said I was wonderfully sweet, hugged me and that was that!
I tell you, I didn't TOUCH my meal once we actually sat down to eat xD I was much to excited and terribly busy leaping up to say hi to each princess that came by the table. I took pictures with all of them and was on cloud nine for the rest of the day xD
Five. Year. Old.
All in all, Disney was an absolute blast. I cried (as I always do) when we left. I took a long, painful moment to say goodbye to the castle (my castle, as I call it... right xD) and said "so long" to Disney with one wave and a blown kiss. And a few dozen tears ;3; xD
So, you might be able to see how I wasn't quite as excited for Otakon as I had been? XD
It turned out to be good, though. My baaaaaby Michelle (one of my best, best, BESTEST friends ever <3) visited for the con, as she does every year and that made it all the more wonderful~
We had our first successful group cosplay on Friday (though the group dispersed rather often during the day... but we were still in our costumes... so it counts? xD) It was a Pokemon cosplay and I was my faaavorite character, Sabrina the Psychic Gym Leader. We also had an Ash (
), Misty (
), Brock (
), Erika (my friend Erika, ironically), and a Gary (Karlee). We got a lot of pictures, took a picture with a group who had a guy Misty, which was interesting, and walked around with this Pokemon group that had a boom box playing the old school gameboy game music... which made my life, truly~ : DI also found a Phantom of the Opera, which made me spazz, run to him, and start singing xD Which then he joined in and we had a little moment xDD He was awesome x3
Saturday, we didn't have a group cosplay, but I cosplayed Harley Quinn (FINALLY : D) and had a wonderful time doing it, save for the murderous heels that I wore with the costume. But pain is the price of beauty, right? XD It was an amazing costume made by the fabulous Katie George, whom I love like the big sister I never had x3 She's amazing and made the costume for me and, due to extra costs, didn't even make as much as she should have... and STILL didn't make me pay extra. Which I love her for ;3; <3333
I've also never gotten a response for a cosplay like I did for Harley... I was SOOOO HAPPY x3 As soon as I walked into the con, people were asking for pictures. It got to the point where I couldn't move xD Someone would ask for a picture, I would say "Sure!" and pose, and then it's like they SWARM. Because as soon as I posed, a bunch of other people popped up with cameras and started taking pictures. I was having problems trying to look at all the cameras! So when everyone finally dissipated, I would go to pick up my stuff and keep going, when someone else asks for a picture and the whole process repeats itself xD It was awesome and I felt really cool ;3; <3
Sunday wasn't much of anything, other than me being sad the con was ending xD I didn't cosplay and was sleepy from the rave the night before (which was fun, only Michelle and I dipped out early 'cause we're wimps and our feet hurt xD) I found a Sirius Black in the Artist Alley and ran up to him excitedly, got pictures, and hugged him~ I told him that I cosplay Bellatrix Lestrange and he gave me this sad look and said "You killed me!" I was all "I knoooww, I'm sorry!" xDD I really do love Sirius, no matter how much my alter ego doesn't :3
Aside from the slight (or not so slight xD) bit of drama that plagued us, which seems to happen every year in some way, shape, or form, Otakon 2010 was a success! And now I reeeeeally want next year to come... soon xD
I'm already planning my cosplays... Because I'm a dork like that ;3; <3
Delighted
