CHEEESE! After the hour
an half drive, we finally made it to AN! ^_^ I was awfully busy, not to
mention YTV was filming live there. I actually had ONE chance to be on TV!
I really did!!! Sugar and Carlos were on the set up stage offering kids to
play Beyblade games and tournaments to win prizes. Personally...I think
Beyblades suck....I mean like...it's garbage, but they asked me nicely and
I tried not to show the staff members I really did. I didn't get to talk
to Sugar or Carlos, but my brothers friend got their autographs for me.
Anyhow, for a while
Eddie, Cullen, Katie and I were looking around for Krabs. (William) But
Eddie and I had no idea where he could be. So we thought he might
show up sometime if we keep our eyes open....
To pass the time, Katie
and I played DDR with some people, and met some familiar faces like Shawn
and Encubbed. Well anyhow no one was amazing, neither was the machine.
Everyone was stomping the hell out it, I hate that! XD So when I got up on
stage and played, some of the arrows didn't quite register it could be
either:
A) I do not weigh over
90 lbs. ( I be light as a feather)
B) The arrows are broken
C) I lack skill...
I changed my mind.... C)
is no longer an option...it's just not possible! I hate stepping hard, it
makes me tired so much faster! >_< Well after that, it was around 5
o'clock and we thought Krabs should be here by then, so we checked out a
number f possible places and sent a call to Eddie to keep an eye out. (By
this time Eddie and Cullen had Media Press passes) The Dealer's room
was set up and there was a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE line up from the door to
downstairs! XD Why can't people GO somewhere else!?!? Well anyhow, the
search went on!
Katie and I got hungry
so we left the hotel (where the con is) to find a restaurant or some fast
food.....no luck. Well there was "Second Cup" where I got cheesecake, but
nyaaaah that wasn't filling enough! I told her about the Sushi Bar they
had down at the hotel. As soon as we got there, the place looked deserted,
like it's been trashed and forgotten! @_@ It was closed down......hmmm
SARS....
So we decided to eat at
the Chinese restaurant on the main floor, seeing as we had no choice. >_<
So we're sitting and talking...had Sweet and sour pork and rice. My aunt's
piece of pork looked like dinosaur (check out the pictures section ^_^) or
something. ^_^ I just had to take a pic! So yeah! we were talking about
stuff...and then William popped into the subject. I was really upset I
didn't see him anywhere to get my well deserved money for the N64....and
maybe to group with us. But hey! That doesn't matter if he wanted to hang
with my bro instead.... yeah ....see if I care... >_> I thought my aunt
was joking with me when she said, "OMG THERE HE IS!" I'm like,
"Yeah, Right...." and she said it again like she really meant, then I
really started believing she actually meant it! I looked around and I saw
through the glass windows, just walking by. Yup! Just sitting there
watching him walk right by us! @_@ My jaw kinda dropped for a second while
my aunt was uttering something to me like "GO OUT AND GET HIM!" and I'm
just sitting there refusing >_< I was like, "nyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaah"
I unno, me running out and getting him just seemed weird...@_~ So yeah, he
goes ...iunno somewhere...how about he vaporizes for the hell of it? So,
after paying the dinner. We looked in the next logical places he would
be...so back to the DDR room. Not there. The Dealer's room, (which the
line up has died out) and we were circling around the place 5 times. I got
distracted....most of the time! So we stood outside the "Animatrix" booth
calling Cullen and Eddie to ask if they found William. THEN BY THE GRACE
OF GOD, he walked by us again...I didn't notice until Katie urged me to
grab his attention....that I defiantly did. I called out his name and he
stopped right in his tracks! (Yeah, he knew who it was)
*looks up at what she's
read*
HOLY CRAP, TODAY FELT
LIKE TWO FRIGGN DAYS!!! Like Day and Night and Day and Night all over
again, in 12 hours. Okay to sum all this up quickly, I bought a new
Chocobo! A RARE FFX CHOCOBO!! 35 BUCKS I know it seemed too high but
....god damn there were only 2 left. I am glad it is MINE ^_^ *sings and
dances*
Oh yeah! I would've had
more pictures in the Pics section but some of them got deleted during the
transfer! XD I should've put the pic quality to 1 star on the cam so I can
fit more on the virtual memory card, unless I can buy a disc somewhere!
Overall, I had fun and
only one "ho-hum" period. Which was before we went to see Spirited Away,
Eddie ordered Pizza and we ate at the lobby. Oh! Did I mention I met
William's sister and her boyfriend!? ^_^ Yeah! Cool stuff but I should get
to bed early because I may take the bus with Eddie in the morning and
arrive at 9 am. If not, I'll go up with Katie and get there by 12 pm.
So, only Saturday and
Sunday left! Wooohoo! I'll try and get more pics and scans and vids if
possible! >_<
See you Tomorrow!
^_________^
TODAY
IS THE DAY!!!!! Anime North Officially opens in 8 hours! (seeing as
its 7:00 now) I'm excited already!!! Some people I know from school
are going on Saturday, so Friday is going to be a bit lonely. Keyi is
going on Sunday. I don't think Michelle is going at all! I couldn't
get a hold of her, I'm surprised she didn't call me back and she's
normally psycho over this stuff! Hmmm could be the lack of
money....I'm leaving school early to go. Just for kicks I'll add MSN
conversations regarding me leaving school early! ^o^
Only
1 more day left! Until all rage is let loose! As of now, my group is
going to be verrrrry small. Keyi might go for one day or two, Matt
isn't going at all; he says he wants to watch Matrix Reloaded rather
than go to an Anime Convention. Michelle, I still have to ask her
again. I'm going for sure, so is my aunt. Krabs is going on Friday
from 5pm - 8pm. If none of my friends come on Friday then I'll stay
there from opening to closing. I'm still trying to get away with
leaving school early so I can go right when the doors open! ^_^
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Just 8 more days till Anime North and I'm going to tell you all about!
This is going to be my second time going to the Anime North
Convention. Last year I only went for Saturday and only took a good
look around the Dealer's room. Now, this year I'm going all out and
I'm dragging some friends with me!
