hope things get better for you, so i can see you at akon. if not, i'll take pictures
and don't worry about the teasing. just realize those people are stupid and you don't need them.

Well still looking for two possible room sharing types. If you can follow simple rules like, don't steal, shower, at 4 am if your drinking sitting 3 feet from someone and a guy talks to someone else 30 feet away don't raise you vocie so f'in loud you can be heard 2 floors down…and basics common sense let me know.
Course you have to deal with these two freaks.
Yeah I'm Vash in this, But will be Shanks, and if done Crocodile. (maybe Vash Sunday for chuckles… or a few hours Saturday. Os here like to be Mario but with some good old brainwashing he'd be a perfect Lucky Le Reoux for the slowly forming Shanks Crew. Got a room in the Con block, two beds. Just ask a help on the tab (yeah up front as I know the last minute skip outs) Friends is friends but business is business.
We cut the costs, we save some bucks we get to buy more figures, hentai (Franky OWWWW! right left right left supaaa) and some drinks if of age. If not. Probely not allowing the booze in the room. Pop a PM we'll figure it out. Wanna have fun, if you make it weird i'll throw your money back and you can figure it out on your own. I'm not that much a jerk but I go to cons to have fun, not make other people uncomfortable or creeped out. Even if that's my character that ends when the costume comes off.
Oh I will be at A-Kon, I've got a room for Friday night. Just at this point, especially since I have no money (I would rather have the Shichibukai WCFs :D) I'm not that excited about it. I want to meet you too!!~
I will be there assuming things stay as they are, if a certain situation gets worse that would be the only thing to keep from going, that and sickness xD
I'm so glad that I have money for the WCF and cosplay AND hotel x__x; at least you don't have to drive 4 hours to get to dallas, Arei… at least you won't have to worry about THAT much gas xD
you only have a 4 hour drive to dallas! man, my parents will drive 8 hours to see my brother for a long weekend. man, i wish my friends were all only a 4 hour drive away.
…. SIGH. Actually most of the people I talk to are 8 hours away. When you work nearly 40 hours a week and most EVERYWEEKEND, even if someone was only 4 hours away, I still couldn't go visit if my sis wasn't off too x___x plus, nobody comes to visit us either and we're only 4 hours away.
Haven't worked on anything yet today but I don't go into work until 4 pm u I want to see progress!
Pretty much if you're not gonna make an effort to even hang out when I'm in the area, then I'm not gonna make an effort to see you, and that's the sad truth. Friendships a two-way road, not a one way street :D
In other news, sis is currently working on suits again, Suit suit suits xDDD
Also I'm working today, so I won't be missing a day next week x3 YIPPIE how did I luck out? I dunno, but I did. No short paycheck the week after next, so I'll be able to buy the rest of the material I need without feeling remorse. Feels good.
Where I'm at living with my grandparents right now, I'm only an hour to an hour and a half away from most of my friends, yet none of them ever make the effort to come see me >_< Well I can't say that anymore, one person has! :D
I drive all over the place all the time, and I really don't have the money do so. Yet all these people that HAVE money won't be bothered. It's kinda meh XP
And even when I'm home, I live so north of Dallas that its about 20-30 (for the people in north dallas) minutes to an hour away (to the people that live in the midcities or closer to FW) from most of my friends, AND THEY STILL WON'T COME SEE ME >__________> Lazyasses!!!
I want to have a pool party this year, and the only place I can really have parties at are my grandparents, with their big pool and house and land out in the country, there's so much to do (and can get delicious pizza XD). But at my mom's house, it's like a tiny little cave where you can just watch movies and play Wii (or board games) DX That's not as much fun as swimming and playing games on a hugeass TV and all the various other things there's room to do outside. And all you have to do is drive a little people =___= It is not asking that much.
I'm so glad that I have money for the WCF and cosplay AND hotel x__x; at least you don't have to drive 4 hours to get to dallas, Arei… at least you won't have to worry about THAT much gas xD
If I still had my truck I would XDDD But I don't sobs so I don't have to worry about gas with my grandpa's car XD
And even then, gas wouldn't be the issue, it's the parking. I could have gotten 2 tanks of gas with what I spent in parking all weekend last year >____>
I'm sorta hoping my mom will drop me off at the hotel and come pick me up, but that's serious wishful thinking >< She would probably take me to the train station, but then I would be stuck on the train with all my shit… Though that isn't as horrible as taking the train to AFest though, since the Sheraton is right by the station >__>
The only pad part about the train station would be that it closes overnight, so if you want to hang with people all night..you're kinda screwed x_x; That's why it's just easier to bite the bullet and get a hotel room, and park their, even though I think it would cost me less to go to California and get a hotel room sometimes. Akon, why you soo expensive??
But yeah, we live about 8 hours away from any of our friends ;_; It sucks sucks sucks T__T
I'm staying Friday night, so it's not a big deal then, but IDK what I'll do about Saturday, last year we really didn't party saturday, about 10 PM everyone was pooped out XDD There was more action friday night and during the day saturday so I'm not too worried about it >_<
people sleep Saturday? really? last year I was so stupid I stayed up ALL NIGHT. I think for about 2 minutes I slept on the bed in my Drake costume… then I was awake and ended up driving home Sunday when I was pretty much awake for 40 hours and a 4 hour drive home. Lets hope that NEVER happens again xD
I think at the convention getting like 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night is normal unless you're one of those people who goes to bed at 10... which I can't help it I can't do that xDDD
and yeah parking is a BITCH. I think we paid $50 or more in parking last A-Kon and it didn't even cost us $50 to drive there and BACK xD though I heard other people had to park somewhere else than the hotel and got $100 tickets because they forgot to go pay their parking meters. Glad that didn't happen to me
Yeah a lot of people were booted in one particular lot (I beleive Charli's jeep was too), but now they're supposed to have a regulation where unless they give you a ticket/receipt (which, most of those lots don't), they can't boot you.
I don't know what it was last year, most of my roommates were asleep early Friday and Saturday night. Myself and another roommate went to Rocky on Friday night and probably didnt go to sleep until 3:30 or so, but Saturday everyone else just passed out again. After cosplay there wasn't anything to do. I guess all the walking tired everyone out XD I was pretty tired saturday, my megaphone for Sho fell off of the dresser and set off the alarm button it has on there and myself and most of my other roommates didn't even wake up XDD Yet my friend just screaming my name at me woke me up. But then not long after that was the voice of God on the PA X___X
Yulecon was terrible. We had 6 people crammed into that one bed room, I was on the bed with 2 other people that hogged most of the space (and they're both smaller then me), and one of the guys snored terribly, plus the air was so bad in there I couldn't breathe out of my nose. I think I got 4-5 hours of sleep all weekend. The drive back home was terrible, I had to sip on Bawls the whole way home an I barely made it DX
I bring ear plugs to cons… even peoples light breathing keeps me awake and I fucking can't STAND snoring and I know I snore Dx so I advise... people... BRING ear plugs!
i got my headphones. i need tv or noise or something to fall asleep to anyways.
edit: monitone, or continuous noises. not stuff like snoring, or my stupid roomate laughing like a retard at 2am. (yay she just moved out) i swear, naga the serpent is less obnoxious than that.
Mm yeah I find sleeping with a fan on really comforting I've gotten used to it over the years.
Ear plugs are really uncomfortable for me because I hear myself breathing, which is not relaxing at all. I imagine if your nose isn't stuffed up it might be better, but mine is never fully clear, and breathing through my mouth is so loud DX

I always have this neat super powerful metal 4 inch high fan. Nice white noise and a breeze since hotel Ac's either deep freeze or bake you till the inside of your nose is as dry as a box of triscuts.
But if people snore, wake them up. Sometimes a simple making them rolling onto their side fixes that. Learned that in the navy… or a super soaker to the face...
Shank's and Lucky Le Reoux seem to be a good chance now my buddy is hooked on One piece.
Shame he's a long way from Mister 4 if I do croc...
Yeah a lot of people were booted in one particular lot (I beleive Charli's jeep was too), but now they're supposed to have a regulation where unless they give you a ticket/receipt (which, most of those lots don't), they can't boot you.
Oh yeah, want to guess who paid for that? That really sucked. =/
i'm gonna steal you from john, so you can be my sugar mama. I needs myself a wii fit, so i can look extra sexy for you, ok.
Oh yeah, want to guess who paid for that? That really sucked. =/
If I were you, I wouldn't of paid for it. Sorry, but if she let it happen, she's responsible for paying for it. I know others who that happened to them, and no one paid for it to be taken off, they had to pay for it themselves.
Earplugs are a MUST
@Angel: Yeah I heard about that… not really that surprised.
But if people snore, wake them up. Sometimes a simple making them rolling onto their side fixes that. Learned that in the navy… or a super soaker to the face...
We couldn't wake him up D: We resorted to throwing crap at him and smacking him, but it didn't work. First year of Yulecon we had a friend that got too drunk that made him snore horribly, but waking him up enough got it to stop XD
So glad I can sleep through anything. I fell asleep at Onicon 08 with a room party going on. This was a G and D room party so it was pretty loud, including my sweetheart. LOL
I've never heard of 'G' or 'D' room parties…. so there's different levels of them? xD;
I'm just glad that once I get to the Sheraton hotel... I DO NOT LEAVE the hotel parking lot for ANY REASON until Sunday. That's why getting off Thursday and going down Thursday is a MUST n to get parking! I'll pay that outrageous parking a day as long as I don't get a ticket or a boot. As much as that stuff was I couldn't BELIEVE people FORGOT to go check on their vehicles D: I felt bad for them
Geeks and Dorks. Meaning it was all my overly loud guy friends. LOL
upon reading your post again I got it… xD I still don't believe some of those guys were at A-Kon but I'm guessing they don't go to the con to... go to the con... xD so I can see why the room parties are crazy. I'm SO GLAD I'm not into that stuff xD
To each their own. I go to cons to see friends I don't see that often. I like to hang out and have a few drinks, talk. Last year they were very laid back at akon. Played video games up in the room. It was fun. I also go cause I like to look through the dealers room, but that is about it. I don't really care for the panels or all the silly games that go on. Plus, I'm very claustrophobic in crowds, and can only take them for a little bit.
But I like t be able to see all the boys, you and your sister, Kyra and everyone else. That is what makes it great for me.
I guess the main difference is I like to cosplay while I'm visiting friends I NEVER get to see. If I'm not cosplaying… I feel sad and envious of all the amazing cosplay. Plus, I like to take pictures and pictures are FAR more fun when I'm in costume instead of my boring ass self just standing next to someone ... xD
plus... we're not into play video games but I enjoy watching them from time to time but definitely not a con cause I want all that time to cosplay with crazy cosplay friends n___n speaking of cosplay... MUST buy more bias tape for Kizaru UGH and Iceburg. Damn you beautiful stripped suits... thank you GOD for Akainu.
I like to cosplay, but I have a really hard time getting into character. I just can't do that. I LOVE to look at other peoples cosplays though, I like to see the details that go into the really good one. I understand how many hours it took to get it to look good. The sewing, the wig making, the makeup. I find it really impressive. I still would have loved to cosplay from Kill Bill. Too bad I had to buy new glasses. I'm not really a gamer, but I like to watch too.
you shouldn't have had to buy them =_= the kid who broke them, his parents should've bought them FOR YOU since their little MONSTER broke them. I can't see how that's fair. They probably just said 'bad boy! oh ho ho he's so cute!' and you got fucked. I hate people SO MUCH I'm SO sorry u___u I do wanna see what your new glasses look like n__n
and ever since the first convention we went to, I've wanted to make sure I was wearing something cosplay. Maybe I was jealous of all the attention people got for dressing up… then my sis and I decide we like to cosplay OP which nobody really gives a shit about except other epic OP Fans xD but now it's more that I like to cosplay and make my own fun and take pictures n_n
maybe I'm a picture obsessed person D: I still haven't posted A-Kon from last year anywhere D: I feel bad I got lazy uu; that and the DRAMA from A-Kon last year deterred me =_= stupid asses.
For some reason all I can think about is that chinese place down the street, the dealers room, the 24 hour pocky stand, cosplay of coarse, and running around the actual con this time __ YES
What D: Some kid at the school broke your glasses and YOU had to pay for them?!?!
D:<
lol I AM excited for A-Kon to go to Twisted Root burger <333 Must try this place, but I'm always out of the way when I go… Though when I go to the doctor next month I WILL be right over in that area >____>
i'm gonna steal you from john, so you can be my sugar mama. I needs myself a wii fit, so i can look extra sexy for you, ok.

Its best not to get into the reasons for why that happened =3

Yeah, I do love cosplaying, but I sometimes have a hard time staying in-character. Unless its a character that suits my personality, then that's fine (like Momotaros lol) and even that cosplay hardly takes any effort on my part aside from putting on the red eye contacts XD
I suppose I should actually try checking out panels again, maybe do more at cons than what I usually do. But that depends on who I'm with. I know John would be up for anything.
A-Kon panels have not been good at all the past couple of years, but they are starting to get a lot of the old people out and new people in who are really passionate about the con. I could definately see improvement last year and I am hoping the trend continues :D
It can be so hard to be in character for cosplay. Kaku was really difficult XDDDDDD
Croc will be very hard as well. I can stay in character for photos, but don't expect me to walk around looking stoic XD
My secret cosplay will be quite easy though XDDD And so will Coby and Shiryuu (can't wait to tap into my inner psycho badass…. LOL don't ask XD)
Coby is probably the closest character in the series I act like on a DAILY basis, I come alive more around my friends and at cons XD Everyone tells me they can't help but see me when they watch teh show either XD
I have just become America, or I just found like my character, he is totally me XD I am still America even when I'm not in the costume.
Man..being in character for me is soo soo soooooooooo easy o_o Guess I'm just gifted xD Dahahah toots own horn Well, someone has to once in a while, might as well be me. (also, I'm probably joking so don't take this too seriously flamers) I'm much better at being the douches that are insane and noisy, but I think I can pull off a serious character if I wanted to, just haven't really cosplayed as any outside of Iceburg xD Though I gotta say, it's very hard for me to cosplay girls and be 'Girly' =_=; I just wasn't born with girly genes I guess. I'm gonna get better at that though >:)
Also, the creepier, more sadistic the character is, the easier it is for me to do it. shrugs Just more fun. It's all acting, ya know. And also..I'm kinda glad I'm not specifically EXACTLY like any character o-O That would be CREEPY AS HELL.
I think young Iceburg will be ok. He still gets excited over somethings, but is easily pissed off by stupidity (which I can do well).
Yeah i find it easier to do the darker, badass characters and the ones that are goofy or crazy.
Awww it's fun to have a character that you can really make your own, it's like I can do anything as America and it's still in character XDD
But with Kaku and Ponyo, when I started getting nervous or excited, I acted too much like America (though with Ponyo that isn't too horrible), which was bad with Kaku. Though I WAS wear a girly princess crown at the time, it probably was infected with fruitiness.
Meh, I dunno about getting overly excited..though when I finally got to meet Jess and Kim I TRIED To contain my excitement..
Cosplaying Akainu will be totally easy for me, I'm generally a pissy asshole in nature, at least to the people I don't like much at all, so I can channel that pretty well. He's quite an angry guy too, it's only gonna suck that my face is gonna hurt soo badly after frowning and gritting my teeth that much xD
I love Sanji and all, but I don't go up to every single drop dead GORGEOUS , women and oogle her, for starters that would make a LOT of con-goers uncomfortable, but I don't mind taking pictures with all kinds of Nami's/Robins if that EVER happens. Never been to a con where I've even gotten a decent picture with a Robin, no Robins actually, and no Nami's. My friend Serena cosplayed Nami for me once, but I was a bloated fatness of a Sanji cosplayer then, and none of the pics were decent THANK GOD x_x; I don't wanna have evidence of that time in my life x_x;
I'm hoping to find some certain characters to molest, er, pose with in my secret cosplay XDDD If I can find them, my life is made ___
I'll just be happy if our group gets our costumes done xD LOL The only way I'm gonna go INSANELY crazy is if someone is dressed as Franky while I'm dressed as Paulie and my sis is dressed as Iceburg. THEN I'd go CRAZY to take pics of Iceburg and Franky.
I'll just be happy to have all the Admirals and the Impel Down group finished though, I'm sure my sis will say the same since she's working sooo soooo hard on them ;_;
Moon..you'll always be my favorite Spandam. XD
I would like to cosplay Robin someday. She seems to be more to my personality than Nami (though Nami will always be my favorite character.)
LOL
I'll take this as a yes.
I suppose I should actually try checking out panels again, maybe do more at cons than what I usually do. But that depends on who I'm with. I know John would be up for anything.
i'd really like to check out some stuff this year, so maybe we can find a few panels to check out.
and i've always loved your cosplays. they're well done, with lots of love and effort, and they're unique. and you always have fun. Your one of the people on here that got me interested in cosplaying.
And Arei: your doing coby! cool! old or new one? I wish I could bring out my chopper cosplay again and do some OP cosplay, but you can only do so much in 3 days, and i gotta pack everything into 2 carry ons.
You'd make a great Robin Brandee!!! I'm still working on getting to actually cosplay Nami where I don't feel that I look like a troll x_x;
I'm doing newer Coby, but it won't be for A-Kon. I doubt with all the excitement of starting school and moving into the apartment I'm going to get him done for Afest either, but my Helmeppo (OMG I SPELLED IT RIGHT!!!!!!) can't have their costume done until after AFest, so we're shooting to have them for our cosplay groups annual big shoot and then probably for Yulecon.
Was gonna shoot for Izumicon but it fell on Yulecon weekend >_>
Pfft I'm more excited to work on Shiryuu, that will be my special project I work on with greats amount of TLC~ I might can start buying stuff for him beforehand but I doubt I'll work on him a lot until after AFest XP …. I'm not sure exactly where I'll wear him though >_> If someone recognized me at Yulecon i would be amazed XD Will definately take him to Fanime and Otakon though, since it's more suitcase friendly (minus the sword XP)
But dammit, I will buy those clear pupil contacts AND WEAR THEM (and if I can tolerate wearing them, must get blue ones for America _) for great accuracy, I may get them around AFest when I wear Croc and see if that works out for him too (meh might be too freaky for Croc >_>), I don't have money to invest in that for Acen though XP
I'll take this as a yes.

Yeah, we totally should! Might actually be more entertaining this year, especially with what Arei said about new people at this con rather than the same old crap. XD
Also, I'm sure I could be in-character in cosplay if I wanted, but most of the time, I just act however I want XD I've never been one to take cosplay seriously, I just have fun no matter what.
Hell, it was funny last year at A-kon, I walked around wearing a "neko" outfit with my Robin wig and my Den-O belt, and I somehow got pictures taken because apparently I looked cool XD Got spotted by Kamen Rider fans lol.
were you that kid that was wanting to go a while ago, or was that someone else?
Yeah I believe that was me.
I've also learned, don't wear shirts that have "hug" anywhere on them >____>
Even though I'm wearing a shirt with a CACTUS on it that says FREE HUGS…. That really should mean you shouldn't try to hug me ^^;;;;; Atleast I didn't get hugged by anyone with con funk.
Though I got hugged by this crazy girl who wouldn't let me go because I smelled nice.........
omfg… last year I totally hugged those 'hug me' people with the shirts... I decided FUCK IT. This year I'm gonna be not boring!!
I don't necessarily think I do a good job staying in character but last year I was so pissed off most of the con thanks to certain dildos I'm sure I looked fairly angry as Drake =_= UGH.
This year I hope to just have fun and be in character as much as possible for pictures xDD Kizaru should be fun because I make stupid faces all the time and look completely awful... Luffy should be fun too xD and I naturally have the strange round, lipless face Inazuma has... >>; so erm maybe I'll do well? Dunno about the mayor.. just cause I look like my sis doesn't mean I'll do a good job but I am hopeing Dx!
That's how I felt about Usopp xD LOL I really never felt in character dressed as him, I'm usually the Sanji cosplayer, not the Usopp xD My sis does a MUCH better job x_x;
I'm gonna work really hard today when we walk sis :D
Though I got hugged by this crazy girl who wouldn't let me go because I smelled nice…......
note to self. smell bad if you don't want hugs. lol hey! i should totally market some kind of anti-obnoxious fan spray. ha ha ha. glomp "eaw. get off" spray
Well be "in" character enough for the photo ops. I really want to see all your outfits…
Heck now I wanna make a new one...
Is it bad to walk into a Hobby lobby... and say you know... for bout 40 bucks.... I can so make a Pell outfit...
Next Project Pell?
Think I can do it, and since I liked his character he fits what I look for in cosplay...
Gah bad me, Finish the Croc first!
I know I haven't even started on Croc's hook yet ugh DX Once I get off my lazy ass and tidy up, before I take the red thread out of the machine I need to sew down the stupid hem around the top of Ponyo's dress that won't lay flat and then to test to see if the sewing machine lives or dies with the fur XDDD I need to make sure there's tissue paper around >_>
I might just go ahead and use this week and next week to COMPLETELY FINISH the coat and all accessories for the secret cosplay, or atleast get the coat done because I want to make sure that is all done to take. Then the week I have finals (since I only have 2) I have allllll week to do Croc's hook, though i'll start it sooner if I can. UGGHH need to get unlazy and clean so i can get all that done balls balls balls DX
I really hope and pray I can get Croc done, because I'll sob forever if I can't take him (the coat is out of my hands now) …. IDK if I just wanna be a random lone Kaku .___. Or wear the secret twice (which I don't really wanna XP)
I'm pretty sure I'll have too many things to wear to be able to wear someone twice, though Akainu will be my twice baby <3 Hehehhehehehe
Got my new Sanji wig..can't remember if I said anything about it or not. Bastard must be cut. God damn it. why can't it just COME and look perfect? Hunh? Is that too much to ask? No. It's NOT. But the color is nice, I'm digging it. Also, it parts seemlessly, UNLIKE MY OTHER WIG =_=;
