Hi guys!
...It's been a week since Youmacon, and I STILL haven't blogged about it. XD I FAIL
Okay so. I don't remember a whole ton of details because I was hyped up on Monster, brain-dead due to lack of sleep, and sore from walking a lot and sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag with another 11 people in a cramped hotel room the size of my bedroom. Actually, it was a little bit bigger than my bedroom, but I digress. XD
Okay so. Thursday I got up, finished packing, did some internet things and then went to the Gamer's Alliance (a club at school) to pick up Andrea. She was not there. She was out shopping for her Youmacon stuff. XD I waited for her for about an hour, watching the boys play Halo. It was mildly entertaining. She finally arrived, and we transferred her stuff in her car to my car, and she left her car for her mother to drive home after she got off the bus later that afternoon.
We went back to my house and watched Silent Hill. 8D It was awesome, except for the fact that the room was too bright even with the blinds closed and we couldn't see a lot of things. My TV also decided to have a fail and make the music and sound effects so loud we couldn't hear the talking. DX Andi has most of the lines of the movie memorized, though, so she just told me what they said when I didn't catch it. XD
Around 6-ish we left, I picked up Micah and we set off on our way~ Everything went pretty smoothly; I drove and Micah, being the most competent with directions of the three of us, read off the directions to me. We listened to music from Andi's iPod Touch which she rigged to my car's radio with a tape deck, and it was awesome. Until the road that lead us to the hotel didn't show up. XD; We ended up on Michigan Avenue, which is a train-wreck right now because of construction. We ended up driving up and down it confused until we found the Town Center's service drive (which was ALSO under construction, ick) and FINALLY made it to the hotel.
We then proceeded to wait aimlessly for 2 hours for the girl (Michelle) who reserved our hotel room, because we couldn't get in until she checked in. DX I was supposed to meet someone from the NaNo forums there, but I missed her because of it. DX
When we finally got in we watched a few of the Death Note live action movies and then went to bed at like, 2 am. XD
Friday we did more fun things and took pictures and walked around a LOT. There were fun panels and the opening ceremonies, despite the extremely long line (that we were lucky enough to notice and sat in for a long while so we could get good seats), was a lot of fun. I like the announcer guy, he's funny. XD
Saturday was much of the same, except the morning I was leading Andrea around, because she dressed up as Deep Drive Riku with the blindfold. She could still see, but everything was fuzzy because she didn't have any glasses or contacts in in addition to being mostly blocked from the thin blindfold. I also dressed in my Halloween costume -- I was a gyspy. I have pics, which I will post a link to at the end. XD We also played Death Note Mafia from about 11pm until 6 am, even with the time change. XD 8 hours straight, yay! Eventually somewhere around 2 or 3 our moderator left, so I moderated the rest of the games, switching off with Andrea and this one other girl once. It was fun. 8D I bought the cards for it from Nikolai, so now I can play whenever I get a good amount of people~ <3
Also, my roomate flooded the bathroom Friday night. XDD She was really really tired, and taking a shower. For some reason, her brain didn't realize that the plastic shower curtain goes INSIDE the tub, because if it's outside the tub the water splashes over the side and floods the floor in about 2 inches of water. XD She had to go downstairs and get someone from the hotel staff to clean it up, and then sat in a corner in shame when he brought a mop, a bucket, and the hugest armful of towels ever. XD I took a picture, but you can't really see the water...
I had to go to the bathroom when I got there, so I had to take off my socks and roll up my pant legs so I could go. Still got my pants wet, and Saturday morning I got my socks wet because it had soaked into the carpet outside the bathroom door. D:
Sunday was lazy. We spent the entire morning lazily packing and feeling generally worn out. Check out was at noon, which Michelle did check out in time for, but we ended up in the room waiting for a cart to take our suitcases until almost 1. The guy who packed the stuff in my trunk didn't know that you have to pull the handle back into a closed position before you close it, or else it either doesn't close or gets stuck. Now it's stuck. DX I can't open it. We had to fold the seats down and drag Andrea's stuff out the side door when I dropped her off because no one could open it. :/
We walked around for a while, taking a few pictures but not many, and I sat and watched the Spoony Bards for a while because my feet hurt so incredibly much. We lost contact with Micah, so we waited around for a while for him to show up or call us so we could go home. Eventually Andrea told him we were leaving and if he didn't come right that second he'd have to find another ride, but then he texted her back, saying he was already home and had fallen asleep. >.> Uh, hello, thanks for telling us, jerk. I thought I was his only ride home, since I DID take him there, but noooo, he found a ride and didn't think to tell me. DX We waited around for nothing, and I was already in a bad mood from not getting enough sleep.
We drove home around 6-ish with minimal problems. It took me a while to find the North ramp for the Southfield freeway, but we did and we were on our way.
It was a blast, and I can't wait for next year. I am DEFINITELY cosplaying, no excuses. I'm definitely doing Riza Hawkeye from FullMetal Alchemist next year, but I want to do more than one costume. I'll probably do someone from Axis Powers Hetalia, but I'm having trouble choosing from Russia, America, North Italy, and France. XDD
Pictures are here! http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/qq39/TK-Kitsune/Youmacon%202009/
OKAY ENOUGH ABOUT YOUMACON
It's National Novel Writing Month! 8D I both hate myself for doing this to myself and love it because I'm getting SO MUCH DONE OMG. Even if it is utter crap. XD
I decided to just do Lifeless, rather than Precious Wingbeats. PW is just too complicated and too much to do for NaNoWriMo, and I haven't figured out all the plotholes yet. Lifeless is relatively simple, so that's what I'm doing.
I got a TERRIBLE start, I didn't start until the 3rd because of Youmacon and fatigue/homework, and only wrote about 300 words that day. XD I'm sitting at 8,865 words right now, which is pretty darn good if I say so myself for 4 days. XD I'm going to try and get to 10,000 today, maybe 11,000 if I can.
I'm thinking about posting it here, as I go. I haven't decided yet, though.
I'll ramble more about this sometime later this month, I'm sure. XD Goodnight, digital abyss~
