well this is a little late... o.o

Here's the video of my EXP Con experience! ^^

[link]

Where to begin… o.o

I guess the beginning! xDD

So on Saturday, I cosplayed as Grimmjow and my sis was Roxas [and a popular one at that…] and my sis’ friend was school-girl Kairi.

Soo we get at EXP Con at like ten in the morning and are greeted by some crazy Roxas fans who glomp my sister every ten steps [I didn’t have my mask on yet so noone knew who I was xD] and I found an Ulquiorra! We got our passes and then just walked around, looking at all of the purdy artwork and I put on my mask.

After many glompages later, we headed over to the AMV contest. I was truly humbled by many of the videos in there [I was one of the few people who used Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy]. Alas, in the end I didn’t win anything, but the people who did truly deserved it!

Then we stayed for the costume contest and there was the most adorable Toph cosplayers there! I was gonna go say hi but she was surrounded by peoples… and I don’t like crowds…

Soo afterward we went to the dealer room where I got two Bleach posters, one Final Fantasy poster, a Bleach wall hanging, a Bleach wallet, Bleach pins, and Grimmjow and Renji key chains [which are ADORABLE btw]. I was gonna get a Grimmjow action figure but it was gone when I went to buy it… D:

Next year I’m gonna get a sword! ^^

Then we left for an early dinner, going to Cracker Barrel and surprising many old people!

After that, we went to the mall [still in costume! haha] and a lot of people recognized Roxas! lolz

We went back to the con and stood in line for like an hour to get into Anime Night LIVE! Which turned out to be a HUGE disappointment…

Moving on…

On Sunday, I felt like being comfortable [without waxing my check with spirit glue…] soo I put on my red wig and did some Axelish make-up. My sister was still Roxas so we made a good team!! hahaha!

We were only planning on staying there for a few hours cuz I wanted to meet Vic Mignogna but apparently we missed their Q&A but got there in time for autographs and pictures… I got him to sign a CD of his and another piece of paper…

And he picked me up! xDD

Like BRIDAL STYLE!!!

[btw, all of these pictures are on my myspace so just message me for the link! ^^]

After that exiting adventure, we went back to the dealer room and I got some Pocky! 8D it’s very cookie like ^^

Overall, we had an amazing time and are sooo planning on going next year! :lalala:
[we just wont stay after five cuz that’s when the REALLY weird people get there… o.o]

I will have a youtube thing up sometime when I’m done catching up with the 40+ pages of AP World History reading to catch up on because of this con

Later~

Just a quick update on the events going on this weekend...

Yes I will be at EXP Con at the World Golf Village tomorrow and possibly Sunday...

My Grimmjow cosplay is just about done... we just need to fix up the collar but it will be done by 2morrow morning ^^

right now we're running around, trying to do last-minute stuff... silly us!

anyways, this is gonna be a blast and I'll update you'all on when I get the chance (cuz my AP World History teacher just HAD to assign forty pages of homework THIS weekend... bleh)

~later

Well Hai Thar!!

Mkey… here’s a little update:

□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■

1) EXP Con Craziness!

Goodness! I’m soo exited for EXP Con!! 8D
If you’re interested in it, here’s the link: [link]
It will be the 9th - 11th [but I’ll only go the 10th and maybe the 11th]

I’m planning on cosplaying as a kinda femalish version of Grimmjow Jeagerjaque on Saturday and then something more Kingdom Hearts related on Sunday… like Axel-ish… I’ll figure it out eventually! XD

I’ve also entered some of my videos into the AMV contest
You can see my entries on YouTube here:

[hopefully I’ll win something ^^]

I’m also planning on making a little video blog of me at the con looking for awesome cosplayers and just goofing around! 8D [I’ll be their all on my lonesome, my sis though has her cosplaying group of Kingdom Hearts fans… she’s a very cute Roxas!] I’ll be sure to post that video on Youtube and I’ll add the link here [insert link here]

And before I go to the con, I’ll take some pictures of my costumes and post them on here

My costume is ALMOST DONE! I’m planning on going shopping tomorrow to find something that I can alter to make Grimmjow’s jacket… I’ve been having some trouble with that! Also, my dad is planning on making my zanpakuto [his katana/sword] some time this week/weekend [he’s a very skilled woodworker] but it’s not really needed for the costume… I just kinda want my own Pantera! [that’s the name of his zanpakuto btw, I Googled it cuz I haven’t gotten to the part in the show when he releases it… thus saying it’s name… silly English Dub!]

OHH!! Random fact: to release it, he says “Grind, Pantera!” which I find rather hilarious! Honestly Grimmjow… Grind!? [I also looked it up in Spanish, cuz he, like the rest of the Arrancars/Espada, have very Spanish-y terms… it’s “Mole, Pantera!” I’m only in Spanish 2 at school so please correct me if I’m wrong ]

Anywho… I’m just really excited about this, cuz I’ve never been to a con! Dose anyone have any advice for me about going to one of these things?? I’m a total noob at this! haha

□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■

2) Got Bleach?
Dang, I’ve been obsessed with Bleach lately! XD [and if you don’t know what that is, I highly recommend you watch it! [link] ]
The only thing that’s bugging me rite now is that there hasn’t been any Grimmjow for a few weeks!

AH WANT MAH KITTEH!!!

□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■

3) Diseased

Yush, it’s true… over the past 9 days, I’ve had the flu

I’m all better now! Just getting over a strange combination of pneumonia and bronchitis…

□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■

That’s all for now

-sarcastic voice-

Well isn’t this just FANTASTIC!

At the moment, I’m home sick from school with what might be that dreaded H1N1 flu that’s going around. There have been confirmed cases at my school so it is quite likely that I do have it… bleh.
It’s not, like, terrible… the worst part right now is the chills… and my head… and my fever…

So I may be here a lot for the next few days, it all depends on what this virus does... I usually only take three days to get over something, hopefully this is still the case.

Anyways peoples, just be careful…

Moving on to a more colorful topic:

I know I already said this before but I’m gonna be at the EXP Con [this October: [link] and I’m planning on cosplaying as a short, female version of Grimmjow Jeagerjaque from Bleach. My wig hasn’t come yet and I still need to sew up the jacket… but when I’m done with it all I’ll post pictures on here of the costume [and maybe a video blog on YouTube…].

I’m extremely excited about this!! 8D

-tummy growls-

And NOW my appetite is back… I’m gonna go eat something but I’ll still be on so I’ll get to replying to your comments very soon!
