Otakon, and Other Things.
Hey everyone, nice to be back and everything. Oh shit... Hold on! *runs off*
*comes back* Screw that, I'll just room into someone else's reservation. It's too much of a pain to handle that myself. *nods determinedly* This is all about Otakon 2007, which is from July 20th - 22nd.
Anyways, on to the Otakon report, starting from Thursday!
Thursday
It all started when my ride was late in picking me up. Not by much, but they didn't arrive at the property till the time when I was hoping to actually leave. Due to that, we skipped over breakfast completely. They were lucky that I thought ahead enough to come up with my own food and drink, meant for the weekend itself.
Maybe it was around 1:30 when I finally arrived at the Wyndham, checked in, and gathered up at the room with those whom already arrived. Those that weren't there yet could just go about picking up their room key at the desk, as I had all of their names ready and everything. Afterwards, I called Jin Moon to make sure she was at the hotel. Good thing she was, and thus I went over to the Renaissance in the worst kind of footwear possible in a city; Flip flops.
My feet were aching, but we rejoiced in a hug while I tried on my Blue costume. A bit short, but I already had the perfect shorts to go along with the coat. It was better than a skirt, too, because no matter how thin my thighs would get, my legs go in a way so that they're always against eachother. Thus the safety with shorts. Upon returning to my hotel, I found something horrible. Both feet, at the padding up by the toes no less, was blistered to the point that the skin was gone and raw with some blood.
It was then time for pre-reg pick up, while trying out the Blue cosplay. Boots and everything, with the life savor of comfort soles already placed in them. I was 'suffering' but also tolerating a heat exhaustion episode, thanks to sitting down in a very cool corner and not throwing up. The rest of the day was spent watching Gatchamon, Tank Police, and G Gundam.
Friday
Friday... I woke up early, to iron out the Muraki clothes and actually get ready. Even after all of that, I was basically late for, though not by much. With the blisters, I was having trouble walking around a lot. The Yami no Matsuei photoshoot had another Muraki, Hisoka, Tsuzuki's and even a Touda! One of the pictures was even a Muraki on Muraki shot.
Then, naturally for me, it was time for LARPing. I had gotten my character, talked with some others, and went about LARPing from 4PM to 1:30AM. Upon returning to the hotel, we watched more Gatchamon, and then a bit of Evangelion.
Saturday
The pain from the blisters was getting to the point that I was near screaming. I didn't, but that's only because of how stubborn I was. Due to the blisters, I LARPed, but ended up missing all of my photoshoot opportunities. At least in the LARP, I was able to harass people as Muraki. xD That, and told Sephiroth the following:
"Jenova sucks.
Cloud Pwns.
We all know that your masamune is over compensation."
Thus sparked the existance of Writer X in the LARP, which was a moogle the whole time.
Upon getting back to the hotel, we spent the night watching Full Metal Panic; The first, and not the others. And just so you know, the whole time we watched anime, we were making jokes about it all, and pointing out every single fan service.
Also, today I was able to head down to Artists Alley. Saw the Akabane from Anime Boston's Dating Game, and something even greater. I was able to give Mookie my fanart shirt. He actually liked it, and I learned why there were never normal Dominic Deegan shirts with the site on his site; he never liked the site being everywhere. But apparently he liked what I had done. Possibly because the site name was small and up at the neck without blocking out the art. That, and it meant his lady friend would have a night shirt now. xD Hey, you know how us girls like wearing the guy's shirts at night for pajamas.
Sunday
Another Blue cosplay day, and Wolf's Rain photoshoot. Really, I was still having trouble walking about, making this very difficult. This even showed with every single damn tiny step. After the shoot, I went to the dealers room and caught up in some of my manga. Not only that, but finally I was able to get something that I couldn't last year; Sai daggers. I've been wanting these for a long time, and finally I had gotten them.
After, we went back to the hotel, watched anime and ate pizza. This was our goodbye party, as the next day everyone whom was left went about heading home. All in all, it was a good group at the hotel, and convention despite certain debilitating issues.
Monday
This isn't just a convention report, but something that scared me. I checked out of the hotel quickly enough, glad that my calculations months before was pretty damn accurate. After a wait, I was picked up and headed home. Thing was... I had plenty of rest, but things were going on in my head. Voices saying things; Hurtful things that I never wanted to hear again. Several things at once, pounding against my head. My mom was upset, thinking she was making me pull alligator tears to have my way, and I was thinking about how it'd be nicer to stab myself.
Actually, it went to the point that I exhausted myself down to sleep, muttering 'shut up' outloud even to the voices. When waking up, they were quietter, and finally we were getting something for my blistered feet.
Now it's Wednesday. The breakdown schizo scare is still... Well, scaring me, to say the least. Ah well, I'll handle it day by day, ne? Still is making me depressed on what everything could mean. *shrugs* I better end this now, before it gets too long, ne?
Ja ne~
