Just a real quick journal to tell you all that I can't come tomorrow. DDDD:
Super sad, -insert angst here-
Super happy journal outlining all of the awesomeness comes tomorrow. C:

Ok! Here it is! 8DDD
WARNING: WHEN I SAY OUTLINING EVERYTHING, I DON'T LIE. THIS IS LOOONG. 8D

So me, ~DragonRayne-kun, and my cousin Jessica got up jumped out of bed at 6:00 to get ready. I was kinda surprised that I was the first one to finish dressing. xD
~DragonRayne-kun went as Princess Zelda, I went as Link, and Jessie went as... a lolita. xD
After having a donut and a bottle of Ramune and calling that breakfast, we ran out to the car, and my mom drove us to the parking lot of Target (Britt had to pick up her boots and I needed my chainmail; she forgot them. xDD ) and then to GVSU. The whole time I was having a spazz and going "ZOMGJAFAXISHEREICANTBELIEVEITIMSOHAPPYFFFFFFFFF!!" On the way there, I waved at people in their cars. You should've seen their faces, man! xDDD This one guy was just like "O_O;;;" So now I know what that face looks like in real life! xDD At Target while we were waiting, I had my head resting sorta out of the window of our car, and this one guy drove by, caught a glimpse of me, and looked back about...5... 6 times? xD It was funny. :'D

So we finally got there, and I didn't quite know how everything worked or where to go or what to do, 'cause this WAS my first anime con, after all. xD
We waited in line for awhile before the doors opened, and my picture was taken by my mom, a Vash with a giant fish (LOL <3 ) and... I think she was dressed up as Yuna... I dunno. Dx All I know is I was standing there, she ran by, said "OOH! OOH!" stepped back a bit, took a picture of me, and ran away again. xDD It was awesome. :'D <33

And then this girl in the line next to us was pushed up to me by her friend, and her friend said something along the lines of 'This girl would like to declare her love for you. She doesn't speak english. C8'
And then she said something in another language and made a peace sign, apparently agreeing with what her friend said, and I was kinda like " .... 8D;;;; -thumbs up-"
... First anime convention, while still waiting in line, a girl declares her love for me.
...
Yeah. xDD
I should've given her a hug or something. I was too confused to think at the time. xD;;;;

And when we got in the doors to the sign-in place... thingy... I saw my friend Heidi from a couple years back. We hugged each other~ :'D

I did NOT know where ANYTHING was. 8D;;;; For the first half of the day, I was leading my group in circles around the main building where the vendors were. So after the opening ceremonies, I went back to Heidi and asked her where the Artist's Alley was, and she told me after she took pictures of me and Zelda. xDD

We got there, and I found ~PhoenixWildfire and bought this little ADORABLE charm from her. x3 <333 He's sooooo adorable~
LOL I managed to walk past ~bjhu about 4 times and miss her art posted ALL OVER THE WALL BEHIND HER before I found her later in the afternoon on our second trip to the AA. D8
But when I did find her, she and my mom chatted for awhile, and I think my mom invited her over to our little (big) Filipino picnic. C: I hope to see her there~ That would make it SO much more enjoyable. 8D
She was really nice, and I wish I would've actually BOUGHT something from her instead of running off with that picture of Link she gave me. :'C /guilt
Next year! Next year I will buy five of your prints, ok? 8D
Overall, I wish I had gotten more from the AA. ;~;

So we walked around and had fun. Me and ~DragonRayne-kun had our pictures taken a bunch~ 8D
I met my buddy, ~EssenceOfEvil, who was dressed as KH2 Sora. @w@ <33
She was awesome! We saw each other in Henry Hall, and we were all like ".... Waaaaiiit... Are you--?" And then we hugged and took pictures together. C'8 <3333 Buddy! <3
AND! There was an Imp Midna there! @w@ <3333 When I saw her I was so happy~ We took a picture where she had her elbow on my shoulder and she was posing all snazzy like~ 8'D <333 I was so happy! I hope I see her again sometime! She was so adorable! @o@ <33

I actually thought the big photoshoot was supposed to be at 11:00 at the Clock Tower instead of 1:00 at the big fountain. I'm dumb like that. @n@;; But eventually we got there. 8D At first, everyone was together around the massive fountain. I sat down to rest a bit, and this Gerudo guard comes up with her spear and points it at me! xDD I held my shield up, and we got a picture of that. C: She was awesome! Earlier I saw her running around as a Happy Happyist from the Earthbound/Mother series. xD Snuggie and hood... It was epic! 8D
When I really started dying of heatstroke, I ran behind the bushes and hid under this little tree. We also got pictures of that. xDDD

Someone from this site called The Enthusiasts took my picture, she said it would be online. C: _{Lavi was wondering who the people with the big fancy cameras were, so I gave her the card they gave me.
... I never did get it back... xDD lol}

That was about the time when the Gaia Online people showed up and took all our cosplayers. ;C xDD
We ended up moving to under the archway, 'cause it was WAYYY to hot in the sun. D:

We met up with another Link(I think her name was Beatrice, she was SO adorable! <33 ILU <3 ), Nabooru, the same Gerudo guard, and Midna again~ <33 I love them all! They were so awesome!
I remember there was this one short guy that came up to us, saying "HEY, HEY." At first I was like "... Hey..? 8D;;" But then he kept going "HEY LISTEN LISTEN HEY HEY" xDD
I think Nabooru grabbed the Guard's spear and tried to stab him. xD;;;

For our photoshoot, we all posed together kinda normally at first, I had Midna riding piggyback on me. 8D This one dude was like "TURN INTO A WOLF!!" xDDD It was so funny~
And then we had this harem shot with me and Beatrice bowing to Zelda. :'D <3
And then there was this one where me and Beatrice posed with the Gerudos, I was lying on the floor 'dead', so I didn't see much of that. I bet it was funny, though. xDD

If anyone has pictures of the big photoshoot, tell me! I'd love to see them! <333 ;o;

Hehehe... We got a picture of Italy and Germany MAKING OUT kissing~ :'D <33 The Hetalia cosplayers were so awesome! >w< <3333 I think Italy and Germany were real life boyfriend and girlfriend. I think. :3 They look so cute together! 8'D <33

The Roxas and Axel in the photoshoot were smooching a bunch, too. I think I remember Midna saying "Stop with the kissing, already!" :'D <33

I don't remember quite when the rest of the stuff happened, but here it is, anyway. C:

This guy RAN up to me and hugged me. It was cute~ But he hugged me just a little too long... 8D;;;; yeah. xDD
Right after that, this other guy started running up to me with his arms all spread wide for a hug. I kinda ran away, and he got all sad and turned around with his head hanging. D:
I felt bad about that, then. ;o;
I would've hugged you, dude! Just... Wrong time! xDD

There were these AWESOME Shy Guys there, and I hugged them about... three or four times. xD
One of them raped one of the pictures someone took of me, I'm told. xDD
They popped their head in behind me. :'D I was totally oblivious. xD

Oh! My mom got these awesome silk umbrellas in the Vendors' room. ~DragonRayne-kun used one of them outside, 'cause you know how hot it was, and I kinda stuck my head under it, and we walked around like that.
Then this one guy yells, "Come on, Link! You're making Zelda hold the umbrella?!" :'DDD

Ah... When we were in the sub showing room watching FMA: Conqueror of Shamballa, this dude sitting RIGHT in FRONT of us had a seizure. DDD:
I was so scared! I wanted to help, but if I did, I'd probably make things worse. ;u;
He managed to walk away, though. His friends seemed to know what they were doing, so I bet they're all OK. I heard them say they didn't need an ambulance, so yeah. D:
Freaked me out, man. ;o;

I saw Zero/Lelouch, but I didn't get pictures. ;~;
I saw Hikaru and Kaoru a few times, but I didn't get pictures. ;A;
I saw Hunny and Mori, but I didn't get pictures. ;~;
But I did get a hug from Hunny! 8D She was soooo cute~

And then we left and the rest of the day sucked 'cause we found out we couldn't go on Sunday.

I still have to tell myself
I'm not Link.
I'm not Link.
I'm not Link.
...
Yesterday was very disorienting. xDDD

And so ends my first anime convention ever. C:
