But I go to them anyway.
I realized today that I seriously don't touch this thing enough. I'm always updating my LiveJournal, and always forget about my VOX. But even then, I haven't exactly been touching LiveJournal much in the past month or so lately anyway. Even moreso within the past couple of weeks.
Anyway, I decided to make a short Anime Expo post for my VOX friends. 8D This almost seems pointless considering 90% of you already have my LiveJournal added, but whatever. XD
So. I saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in forever that I missed a lot, but didn't get to spend much time with them because a large majority of them were running around with 20 billion different costumes to do shoots for. Even when they weren't busy, I was busy running around going from some movies and performances, to the dance, to drinking like crazy, and just... being completely worn out and collapsing on someone's bed. It was so hot, and I spent 90% of my time walking between the Hyatt and the Westin. Which sucked so much ass. I was sore for the rest of the week after AX ended, heh.
As far as cosplay goes on my list? I brought a lot, but only wore three. Even though I wore three, I only got pictures of two. The one I didn't get pictures in was one that I decided to wear to make myself feel better about missing the Final Fantasy Complete gathering (after hearing there were other FF6 characters, anyway) and walked around in that for a grand total of 20 minutes.
My Friday started out with me wearing this sexy, sexy costume. I woke up around 7, and had to get dressed and stuff by 8-9ish because Anson needed to borrow my car to go pick up his paycheck and deposit it (he's weird like that). Of course, I didn't care because I'd be getting a free full tank of gas out of this. 8D But yeah, I had to show him where I parked my car and lend him my hotel key so he could get out without paying anything. I ended up walking around in März for... a pretty long time, actually. The heat was literally melting me, though. D; I had planned to wear the costume during the SKIN concert, because the Capcom vs. SNK gathering was almost immediately after (assuming everything was on schedule, heh). So, I wandered around the outside of the convention center, constantly getting stopped for pictures, when all I wanted to do was walk over to the Westin to get some food and drinks over from Jesse's room. Sorry, I just can't resist ice cold Asahi. ;o There were only two left anyway, so I took one and then Scott saved the last one for me. :DDD By the time I got over there, it was 10:30 or so, and I just drank fucktons of water and made myself some cup ramen. I was just hanging out in their room for a while until Anson got back.
So, after that, Scott, Kevin (as Freddy from Cromartie, also known as Susan), and I went to go meet up with him and Jesse over in the exibit hall for a bit, which is where I ran into Andy and got all these sexy pictures taken. 8D Sooooo, we hung around in there for a bit, then Kevin wandered off somewhere, and the four of us got some food over at Sharky's before heading over to the SKIN concert since seating should've started at 2.
Apparently, that wasn't going to happen on time at all. We ended up standing around in the heat for a good two hours before I decided I was dying too much in März and went back to my room to change, and headed back over to the concert line of faggotry. Thankfully, the line had been moving a lot, and Anson and Jesse were just sitting in the shade while they waited for me, and for the line to get shorter. It didn't really matter if we were in line or not, since we already had assigned seats. We just wanted to get in where the sun wouldn't have to be so gay. Eventually, we got in (after cutting like mad XD) and it sucked a bit more because uh, I was all worn out from the heat, and Anson wasn't feeling too great because he ate too much, ahaha.
So, the concert finally started around 6:30, as opposed to 4:00. What the fuuuuuuck. Whatever. At least I got to see it. It was fun, though Gackt looked way too much like Ren (from Nana), and Yoshiki looked way too much like David Bowie. XDDD It was amazing, hahaha. Jesus, Gackt's facial expressions throughout the entire concert were just... what the fuck. XD I loved it. Miyavi is a dork. And Sugizo needs more love. Like, a lot more love. ;((( I think I got eyeraped a couple times there, too. D: But yeah, I was surprised. They sounded really good together. Now all I need is to see X Japan later this year and I can die happy, haha.
After all of that, Jesse had to leave for Pop Shock Masquerade (lo:lita was playing), and I went back to the Westin with Anson to go be gay with his anime club. I don't know what the fuck Colin was drinking, but jesus. He gave me so much rum, it was amazing. XD I swear, the coke was just for coloring. Eventually, all of us left to go watch Jesse play in his gay band. XD Interesting night.
I think that's probably the most I did in a day all weekend. Saturday, I was so tired and sore that I was just relaxing in my room half the time. I went and saw all 5cm per Second with Anson that night, even though we were supposed to go with Anthony and Devin (who got there really late and we couldn't get seats by them even if we wanted to, so they were forced to sit in the front whereas we happened to find two seats towards the very back, right in the middle :D :D). Symon, Ari, Mary, and Wes were there too (who I was supposed to see it with first! but then those other three fags decided they really wanted to go, too XD), but again, we couldn't sit by them either. I met up with them when the movie/series/whatever ended and Ari and I discussed different ways to go kill ourselves because jesus, that movie was incredibly depressing. I think we were all ready to go throw ourselves off a train. XD It was so good, though. But I didn't cry. I want to own it. ;_;
After that, we were all pretty worn out and retired to our rooms for the night. And then it was Sunday! Another day that involved me waking up at 7ish with very little sleep, like the last few days. In the morning/early afternoon, I put on Relm for a bit and walked around looking for food. I ended up buying some really expensive pizza that came with some really delicious pasta. I think that was the most I ate all weekend, heh. I ended up taking that back to my room having been starving and satisfied at having so many people recognize me in my costume and stop me for pictures (that NEVER happens when I'm in Relm, but apparently FF6 is getting more popular now? hooray! :D). I don't really remember what I did between then and 5:00, so oh well. I changed into Morita for Honey & Clover gayness at the ferris wheel over in the Pike. :D We got some really good shots, but not all of them have been posted yet. This is just one of the preview pictures that Jason put on his LiveJournal. Andy took a lot of pictures too, and I really can't wait to see them all. X3 I've had this costume for over a year now, and I'm finally getting pictures of it. And with an Ayu and a Hagu! :D Stella was nice enough to bring her old Ayu costume, and Julie was nice enough to do a last-minute Hagu for me. :D Apparently, she had always wanted to cosplay Hagu, so she was really excited that she finally got to.
After all of that was done, I changed and headed over to Anson's room to go hang out with his drunk ass + his anime club, and watched some live action Nodame Cantabile. I kept telling them that it's amazing, so I guess Ken decided to bring it and we got a lot of people to watch it and they all seemed to love it like they loved the anime~ Such a good series. It makes the classical geek inside of me so happy.
Uhh, can't really remember what happened after that aside from getting drunk for like, the third night in a row, dancing a bit, aaaand watching Ken and Levi sing the old Harlock opening in karaoke. XD It was pretty awesome. OH YEAH. I finished watching the Hunter x Hunter musical with Kevin and Scott. Hisoka is so amazing, ahaha. (Yeah, we had been watching that entire musical when we had time on Saturday and Sunday night...)
Then there's Monday. Monday was just finishing up the packing I started Sunday night (didn't get back until 4 in the morning or so), and heading over to the Performing Arts Theater to watch Transformers with everyone. Sadly enough, Will didn't get back on time and they wouldn't let him in, so he couldn't see it (even though I swear he was probably looking forward to it more than some of the other people we were in line with). Anson went to go see it with him and Dan a couple days later instead, so yay. :3 But yeahhhh, Transformers was good. Like, really good. That was probably the best thing that happened on Monday. 8D
So yeah, I think that's all the important stuff, ahah. Ahhh, this post is really long. >_> I'm thinking of going to Infirmary tonight, but not sure if I really want to yet. I should see if Dan and Anson are going. If they're there, I'll go. ;_; I want to do somethingggggg.
