Okay...now comes the long Shoujocon ramble, as my cable modem lives again. Friday started of a little stressed, as we were running around putting finishing touches on costumes, which did get done, and then when we finally left, we got stuck in traffic, making a five hour drive into a seven hour one. But we finallly got there, with ten minutes before registration closed. We wandered around some looking at costumes, stalking a Hinoto, and watching the Dance Dance Revolution tournament. We also got several free hugs from a group giving them out. One of them was dressed as TB Subaru in the outfit I love so very very much, and it took a lot of self-control to keep from jumping up and down and squealing. I then dragged Tama to the Gravitation marathon in hopes of scaring her a little, as its a very shounen-ai series, and that makes her edgy. Bad idea. She was totally addicted, and would have stayed until six am watching it if we hadn't dragged her off.

Saturday we donned our costumes and roamed around some more. We went to the dealer's room several times, and I came away with X16 and the fifth Tokyo Babylon volume, as well as a lot of pocky. Winter and I also stalked Subaru and Co. (AKA "The Huggy People") for a while, and ended up talking to them. I also got glomped by the little one with elf ears who's name I did not learn. Actually, out of the four of them, I only learned 'Subaru's' name, and oppted to keep calling her Subaru because 1) that what we'd spent the last day calling her behind her back, and 2) if she was acting how she normally acts, I swear she was TB Subaru incarnate. She seemed so shy that I was afraid to be my scary fangirl self around her least she run and hid behind a Seishirou-like someone. I did, however, manage to get her e-mail. Now I just have to decide what to say that won't scare the daylights out of her. A random note, she has some lessons to learn about hugging. I got two rather limp Subaru-hugs. As far as anime goes, we saw some of Ayashi no Ceres. Tama and I decided that it sucked, and went and watched more Gravitation instead, while Winter loved it. Winter and I also saw Petshop of Horrors, and missed the cosplay because of it. Next year I'm only doing that if its something really good. Like more X TV. We also stopped by the Art Show (there was a beautiful Subaru sketch...unfortunately somebody else got it first *cries* Oh well...Tama's drawing something for me to make up for it) and ended up meeting a couple very interesting gals, namely Kim and Kerianne. As they haven't said what their costumes were on their own blogs yet, I won't give it away, but they were very cool. We had a discussion about X, bad lemons (there was mention of ofuda in there...*sweatdrop*), and how almost every single color pic of Fuuma seems to be staring at your chest. We got their e-mails, but being the overly shy person that I am, I'm afraid to e-mail them. They were also the only people other than my mom who took my picture. Said it was for a friend who was a Clow fangirl. Saturday night (or really Sunday morning) Winter and I went to the dance and dragged Tama along for part of it. It was kinda boring at first, but them some one unleashed crepe paper and balloons on the crowd, and we went nuts. I got a sore throat from all the screaming.

Sunday was a bit more low-key. Winter and I hunted for the Huggy People to no avail. We also watched more Gravitation and the first three episodes of X TV and the OAV. For the record, Sadame ownz j00. Anyone who hasn't heard it, go download it. Now. I have come to the conclusion that I would pay good money for the X TV soundtracks. It was awesome music. Another thing of note was the Whack-a-Thon. The principle is that you vote for your least favorite charecters of anime, they take the top five or so, make them into pinatas, and let the fans beat the stuffing (er, candy) out of them. We only went to three of the five, as we missed the first one, which was Touma, and we all refused to see the Gushoushin whacked to death. But we managed to get all of Nakago's cape (he lasted about three whacks. Says something about his charecter), some of Miaka's hair, and a wheel from the Akio Car. The Akio car was the best one. It lasted a good forty minutes, and there was a guy who hit it with nunchucks a couple times. Every time one of the two Utenas in line went up, people started chanting 'Kill the Car!'. A woman next to me commented that Utena dismantling the Akio car violently should be a fanart. We also saw another TB Subaru who had at slightly better costume than the Huggy Subaru, but the personality of Hokuto. The Huggy one was the best. There was also someone at the Bobbing for Bishounen (basiclly a quiz game about various bishounen) who would have died if I had known who they were. They got the question asking which number head Subaru was, and (incorrectly) guessed 11th. Stupid people. That one's easy. Subaru is unlucky number 13. I always wonder if CLAMP picked that number on purpose, or if it was just a random coincidence.

Well, I think that's just about all of it. I should hopefully have pictures up by the end of this week. And soon I will have my revenge. Its not very good revenge, but what it is gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, not from the revenge, but the nature of what it is, so it'll suffice.
