So lemme just say: Almost the best time I've had at a con EVER. Also the worst CONVENTION I have ever attended.

Lemme just jump right into this with me getting to the con center on monday dressed as the Mormon Elder Price from Book of Mormon the musical. I actually got recognized a couple times which was pretty awesome lol So waiting in line I get to meet up with the fabulous and along with a slew of other fabulous people I got to meet ^_^ Thankfully line wasn't toooo long, but when I finally go to pick up my badge they say I shouldn't have had to wait in line cuz I had a premier badge. Problem was, no one was directing anyone towards the spot to pick up your premier badge. So uber fails there. Chilled with teh Hana and Kaitlin after getting badge and had some goood times xD

Next day I show up to con again as Elder Price. I get there at 9:15 for the AX Idol check in time which is at 10:00... And hour goes by and then they only take in the singing portion, and tell the voice acting people to come back at 12. I so happen to be walking around the place at 11:15 and ask if its still 12, and the staff member there tells me "Oh, we started a while ago come on in." so they're not sticking to any schedule. I come back at 1:30 for the 1:45 beginning of the auditions, and they tell me to come back at 2:30 for them x.x I go, I wait, I do my audition( I KICKED ASS AND THE JUDGE WHO IS A DIRECTOR SAID WE NEED TO MEET AND TALK OUTSIDE OF ANIME EXPO), but because its so late I have to leave early to go meet to get into the fabulous Axel cosplay let me borrow ^_^ Lets just say I looked and felt good in the cosplay, and we got a bunch of pics taken of us and I got a bucketful(HAHA) of hug requests XD Anyway, night came on, I changed out of Axel and returned to teh room I was sharing with and a few other awesome ladies. Tried to crash early, woke up when everyone came back to room and stayed up late sharing very offensive jokes xD

Saturday we all wake up WAY later than we planned on, and as a result were all scrabbling to get into our Homestuck cosplays. put together an AMAZING group of people to cosplay the trolls from Homestuck, and had asked me to be Gamzee. April did my crazy make up and let me use her Gamzee cosplay, so then it was up to me to be in character >3 Oh boy, was I in character xD We got to the gathering a little late but it wasn't too bad. Oddly enough, as the crazy mother fuckin troll I felt like the bell of the ball. Everyone seemed to love my timely outbursts and horn honks, and this one adorable Karkat gave me a custom Gamzee bucket 8D It was SO cute and she was soooooo sweet^_^ We finished up the gathering before heading inside to wait for and Candice (Our Karkat and Equiis). AND OH MY GOD SABIEN IS THE BEST KARKAT THAT EVER WAS! Ugh... She was absolutely FANTASTIC and if you haven't seen pics GO LOOK. After we all met up we went to go do a photoshoot, but as we had to walk through the entire con center to get to the spot, Sabien and Candice take out their log for the ipod, and we just BLAST Stayin' Alive on loop and swagger through the con being MEN. We do a couple fabulous shots, and I did the Troll "YES" dance together, which was fantastic xD Anywho, then we all went back to the room to get Pizza, where we were joined by (who was a fabulous John xD) and another Rob(Cool guy, that Rob). Pizza was nommed, trolls were touched up for makeup, and then we headed back to the con to do another photoshoot.

My God, this was the absolute BEST Photoshoot I have EVER been part of. So many amazing peeps, and the pics...DEAR GOD THE PICS. Lets just say I am not always as Violently Insane as I am in all of these pictures xP We also took a pic with everyone save myself on a ledge with their heads making it look like its a row of severed heads behind me. What we didn't know was that it was a TINY ASS FUCKING LEDGE and there was a HUUUGE drop just inches away from where they all stood. >.< SHIT WAS REAL. All that needs left be said about the fabulous shoot is that Gamzee can man up and tell a creeper "GeT ThE FuCk SoMeWhErE ElSe!" and that both and his Barbesol are gifts from god(MeAnInG Me lolxD) We got some really epic shots and like I said, BEST photoshoot I've ever gotten to be a part of.

Next day honestly wasn't all too great to begin with unfortunately, but I still threw on Pluto and walked around the con. Not many kuro cosplayers around so not much recognition, but it was nice not having to wear layers of clothes ^_^ Around the later after noon i head back to the room kinda saddish and sulky, but with the help of I was able to take off my beard(inside jokexD) and burst forth in sparkles as the fagtabulous Edward Cullen. Once again, I was the Belle of The Ball as soon as I stepped foot onto AX XD Got a lot of laughs and TONS of pics taken of me, to the point where I was rooted in a pose for a good 3 minutes straight.

Anywho, it was sunday's NIGHT that was possibly my favorite night I've ever had at a con. I got to first go chill with , , , and as well as an adorable little Trap named billy, and that cool guy Rob. xD We got to chill and Kelly and Ada and I went to the hot tub and did balletish things xD Finally we all headed up to see the ever glamorous and . We all laughed, talked shit about Adam West batman (THE SOLEIL HOTEL!) and I had to rush over to mah room to get into Mah raver clothes SPARKLING EDWARD CULLEN DANCES LIKE A FUCKIN MIRACLE. Anywho, once all hot and sexy we all walked to the rave, got in, and we had some super fun times dancing together(Guys. The power rangers rave song. How fucking boss was that? O_O ) Around 1:30 in the morning only , and and I from our little gang are left dancing there, and so we finally head back to the hotel, where the massages started >3 oh bby ;D lol Then Ada and that cool Rob guy and I went on a Pajama adventure, creating human tetris with light up squares on a building, and having just a fun little adventure ^_^ Back to room, watch cake boss, crash and fall asleep.

Last day is pack it all up, MIRACULOUSLY load all our things into April's car and then venture out. However, I'm not the only sparkly queen this time xD I was joined by my new friends jill and kristen, but instead of having a twilight apple, they have a jar of applesauce and spoons and hello kitty bandaids on their necks xD We ran into and again before venturing off. Got to be in a few OrgiXIII pics as a sparkly vampire xD Eventually we headed off for lunch, which was.... well...I'm just gonna say eventful.

All around, I had an amazing time at AX and I was so happy I got to spend it with some really fantastic friends. Everytime I see all of em we get to know each other better, so basically every con has been better than the last xD

Bunches of love to the following fabulous people that made my con:


(If I don't have your DA you know who you are ...You dirty fuckin bucket sluts <3)

Its pretty late coming, and after my last journal this is a great way to get out of bad mental space

SO!

Fanime was absolutely AMAZING. It was definitely my best and favorite con experience to date, and I don't think I could've asked for a better con! ^_^

The story of my fanime begins a bit before the actual con, so bear with me xD

It started off on the monday before Fanime, as I was staying with my dad in the bay area in the meanwhile. So before I came up to the bay area, I had made plans with and to hang out on wednesday.

Now, on monday around noonish I get a call from a number I don't recognize, and I answer and it turns out to be asking me if she was supposed to pick me up and wondering if we were supposed to hang out that day. I wasn't doing anything that day so eventually I made the long BART trip out to meet her. She picked me up and we spent the day working on some stuff for her Red XIII cosplay.

On wednesday then I headed back over and got to hang out with both and . We had many adventures, including a mall trip, to walmart to get me a new creme foundation (found out I'm pale as fuck as my color is "Porcelin" xD) and then we went back to Naru and Sasu's place, where I tried on Naru's Zack cosplay. Fit amazingly, and I felt so pretty xD More adventures and escapades were had that day, culminating that night with sasu saying "Just shut up and put it in your mouth! D:< " xD

Then comes day 0 and the first time ever cosplaying as Elder Kevin Price from The Book of Mormon the Musical. After loading up my huge bags and cases I went down to san jose. Got my stuff in baggage check at the hotel, and then had to head to the marriott across to street to acquire a (Yes you guessed it) Book of Mormon. After acquiring one, I headed back over to the hotel, but as I was going across the cross walk, I run into my roomies and my BEST FRIEND FOH EVAH . After lolling at my mormonness, we went up to the room and I got all my stuff settled. After that was done, I headed over to the con for pre reg. I hadn't pre registered, but I waited in line with 2 of my roomies for the con: Ashley and Kitsy. In line I got confronted by 2 actual mormons: one who was butthurt, and another who shook my hand xD

The next day I got up buttfuck early to go save a spot in line for my other roomies who hadn't prereged and candice ^_^ Actually got a really good spot, we got our badges, and then I headed back to the room to get into the Zack Fair graciously let me borrow!^^ I headed back to the con and wandered around a bit and ran into the ever so lovely . It was absolutely wonderful getting to see her and spend time with her again. We wandered around together for a while before I met up with the Final Fantasy Advent Children group I was included in ^^ The group consisted of , , , , , and (Sorry, I don't have the DAs of everyone else in the group x.x). With strong assertive Cloud leading us, we headed to our shoot location, picking up an ADORABLE Aerith along the way. The shoot was super fun, and at some point during the shoot, I ended up doing the single ladies dance for everyone as Zack xD Yes, there is video on the interwebs. That night I went by the swap meet and legally bought my first ever yaoi mangas from Naru, Sasu, and Danny^^. Later that night I changed into my casual Edward Cullen outfit and raved with Naru, Sasu, and Aoi for a bit, before heading over to the marriott where I was officially given my douche persona of Tyson Denmark(Sparkle Douche) and inducted into the circle of douche's, otherwise known as Last Missed Chance(Was later brought into the band as the electric xylaphone player). And it was then that I really met the AMAZING and . After a long night of partying it up, finally went back to room and crashed xP

Saturday (day 2) arrived and I groggily got into Dr. Horrible. As usual I was recognized a lot and got a fair amount of pictures. I then ran into a fabulous red coat dr. horrible, who had the most accurate dr. horrible cosplay i've seen yet. I discovered early on though, that wearing the sturdy white rubber boots was EXTREMELY uncomfortable, so at about mid day I went back to the room and changed back into Elder Price. Got to walk around in upbeat mormon fashion, trolled some of the religious protesters and helped out staff at the same time. One of my favorite adventures from the day was going to Karaoke and singing The All-American Prophet from Book of Mormon for everyone xD That day I got pictures with Raptor Jesus, the cast of Anchorman The Legend of Ron Burgandy, Panty and Stocking, and the super yaoi bros xD In the evening I attended a dagger workshop and then went with to the spear workshop. (Yes, I can be manry. I <3 martial arts, weapons, and swordplay). After the workshop, and I went on a trip to get my Pluto wig from her room^^ For any of you who don't know Red, she is one of the most honest, caring, and empathetic people I have met with this world. Once she had changed into her Slytherine attire and I had changed into Pluto(Then Professor Lupin), we went back to the con center and then to and Harry Potter Party. The amount of Harry Potter trivia that was known in that room was... awe inspiring xD We eventually ventured out to the con and I went to the rave with , , and . Best time raving ever was there too ^_^ Was a little frustrated by 2 Rovers that showed a touch of homophobia, but other than that the dance was a bunch of fun! Finally headed back to the room(MUCH too late), and slept for a few hours.

Sunday (Day 3) I woke up kinda groggily, showered, and got into the cosplay that I was most excited for this con: Pluto from Kuroshitsuji. The original plan was to do a punk version of Pluto along with who would be doing a punk version of Ash. I had a leather jacket, royal blue leather collar, chainmail bracelet, torn jeans and white leather boots. To my surprise I actually got recognized quite a bit, though Red decided she wanted to go change into her Ballgown Angela. After wandering, I went to the Kuroshitsuji gathering. I was excited to both see so many Kuroshitsuji cosplayers, and that I was the only Pluto there. I have to say, after spending the past 10 months working out and doing pretty regular cardio, I was really glad to have a cosplay I both felt comfortable in and got to show some of the body I worked for ^_^ Though being the only Pluto did let me be a bit of a diva, as I got stuck front and center for a quite a few pics. ^^ Unfortunately, the gathering was VERY poorly run, and I took a moment to consult with the William T. Spears cosplayer that was there, and we decided to lead a kind of "redo" gathering afterwards. Once the official gathering was done, I borrowed the megaphone and announced the 2nd gathering, and a sizable amount of the kuro cosplayers and photographers followed William and I to a spot outside on the Hilton side. It actually turned into a bit more of a pairing/crack shoot/gathering, but everyone had a good time and some really fun pictures got taken. After the gathering was concluded, I was approached by 2 Kuro-cosplayers that had been in charge of the official kuro tea party for Fanime, and they asked me if I wanted to be in charge of the official Kuroshitsuji gathering for next fanime! ^_^ I hopped on board and if you think you might show just post on the fanime forums! Anywho, after the shoot, I went with William ( ) to the cosplay repair station to fix her death scythe (that i bumped into and accidentally broke x.x) . We hung out for a while, then we went and changed into our formal outfits for the Black and White Ball. All I can say about the ball: If you're going to go, THEN GO SUPER EARLY BECAUSE A MASSIVE FUCKLONG LINE FORMS VERY QUICKLY.

Ball was fun, then left and went back to hotel room. Once there I changed into my derpy cosplay for the lulz: EDWARD CULLEN. The super duper fun times were had there, I must say. After playing the traditional game of Kings Cup, , , and I headed to the con to go to the rave. Raving was supah fun as usual.

Now, one thing most people don't know about my Edward Cullen cosplay is that in order to have the proper sickly, tired look for him, the last night of the con I party hard and don't sleep AT ALL. Surely enough, on Monday morning I was DEAD tired and sparkling like a motherfucker.

Monday (Day 4) started off well by having coffee and talking to . Like I've said: At this con, I met amazing people. The friends I made there really seemed to get me, and were so welcoming and friendly even when they didn't know me. I am SO grateful that I got to go to Fanime, and meet the fantastic people I did. Anywho, once the dealers hall opened I walked around there for a little bit. I got many a laugh for cosplaying edward and acting in character. I stumbled upon the crunchyroll booth at one point, and they were filming the live feed from the con floor. Now, because I am both a performer and I was buttfuck tired and therefore irrational, I ended up doing the thriller dance for the live feed, which everyone loved. Then immediately following I did the single ladies dance, which got the crunchyroll booth 2 fire safety warnings because of the crowd that formed xP I then had to make a mad dash back to the room to pack up before check out, and for the first time at a con: I DIDN'T LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND! YAY! Put my stuff in baggage check, then returned to con, getting more lulz, more laughs, and getting to see more friends.

Fanime was the best convention of ever been to, and I can honestly say legitimately changed my life. New friends, new memories, new cosplays. All of it was amazing.

Thank you everyone for making the con so memorable and wonderful for me. I can't wait to see all of you again soon ^_^

i'm just fucking done.

FANIME IS FAST APPROACHING AND I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED! I've been wanting to go to this con since I started cosplaying, and I'm SO happy I get to go this year!

I'm especially looking forward to getting to meet some awesome people I haven't seen in person yet! Namely and . After talking with them for so long I'm really psyched I get to hang with them finally, and I'm sure we'll have boatloads of fun!!! (<3 you two)

I'm just as excited about getting to see some really dear friends of mine I haven't seen in quite some time. I am so happy I get the chance to see my friends such as and and
