A-Kon 19!!
Okay, back from A-Kon and sore as hell! But it was the best A-Kon since my first one ♥ Since I can’t seem to just put all the details into one paragraph, I’m going to have to separate this entry by days~

Night before:
I was abducted from work exactly at 11pm. Me, Cole, and Jessica went to hang out at Sonic for a little over an hour with Jessica’s sister. Around 1am me and Cole headed to A-Kon.
Shortly after we got there and settled, Rebecca (girl who owned the hotel room) decided we should go out to eat.. At 3am we began our Taco Bell Adventure! Cole ended up pulling almost every illegal accidentally in the book before we finally switched drivers! (XD) I think it was after half an hour or so that we gave up looking for Taco Bell in Dallas and drove back to Garland for it. They didn’t even have the new chicken thingy anymore like I wanted either! *pouts* When we got back we just ate on the roof of the parking garage before going to the room, only to stay up the rest of the night. (Only Rebecca and Cole got a pinch of sleep).

..Oh yeah, I was used as a teddy bear for about 45minutes!!

Day 1:
After a night of sleepless night, me and Rebecca went down to wait in line for my pass. It took forever and a day!!! It was worth it though because from that line I began to finally see some friends I haven’t seen in a year or more! (Like Samantha and Melissa).
Okay, so I was fully ready to begin exploring the con now~! Of course, where do I hit first? The Dealers Room!! Right off the bat I bought 10 yaoi mangas from these ladies selling them at half off ♥ With the help of a cool new friend my friends from High School knew (Mika), I found the manga I was going to be on the hunt for: Necratoholic. (It was awesome btw ♥).
Later in the night me and my friend Amanda (who arrived around 3-4-ish?) ‘stole’ two feather pillows that were to the side of this door on the way back to the room. *shifty eyes* Not like they were going to use them, right?
We (Amanda and I) went to the concert for Versailles, but left after two songs because it was just too damn loud *rubs ears* Maybe I’m just not a loud concert person. (Plus, how loud it was, it seemed like all the sounds the instruments made just meshed together (and not in a good way).
Due to ID problems (for Amanda), and not wanting to go alone, I ended up missing the Yaoi room and “Sex at Con” room. *le sigh* Oh well, maybe next year~
And guess what?? We actually went to bed and stayed in bed! (3:19am)

Day 2:
Not too far into the morning there was a lady giving free hugs in the skyline between the convention center and the hotel. Of course I gave her a hug, but in the process another guy came up to give her a hug and accidentally groped my right boob!!! WTF? Haha.
Either way, I actually got my picture taken by a lady. (I was in my pink and green, leopard print jacket, fishnet undershirt, evil pixie skirt (I made a few years ago), black jeans, and kitty ears and tail). Not too long after that a guy tapped me on the shoulder a few times saying “Catgirl.. Catgirl.. Catgirl!” I turned around only to have a shiny ring put in my face and him asking “Do you like shiny objects?” XD Of course I said “Yes.. Yes I do!!” with grabby hands. He ended up saying “No!” and walking off. Made me sad. tehe.
After a while I decided to go see Versailles’ Q&A. I thought I’d be able to just go and stand in the back, but apparently they were at fire code and I had to wait in a line for 20minutes until enough people left so I could go in. (I’m not complaining too much.. I got to wait next to a really hot dude and he gave me a card o.o). The rest of the Q&A I got to catch was pretty fun and interesting. (Even though they aren’t one of my top, top bands). I was so s.t.u.n.n.e.d. by how pretty they were though that I couldn't seem to reach my hand out and get a high-five from the last guy in the group to leave the room (like most others were doing).
Laaater in the night I decided to go watch some VK videos and just relax in the J-pop room. After a while Sarah tapped me on the shoulder~! I gave her many hugs at that time and later when she left and I took a clip. (I hope I didn’t annoy her with all the hugs I gave her at the con D: And I hope your voice is better too! Drink much tea!)

Oh, and I forgot what time of the day it was for this, but all I remember is waving to a friend from far away and I see a hand come out from the crowd and groped my left boob!! WTF?? (again)

Day 3:
It didn’t take too long into the day to find Sarah again (I hugged her much again XD Sorry for so many hugs. I was just building up until next year.) I can’t believe how awesome her Mana co splays are though.. All three days I was just thinking “Damn! People are going to think you’re him!!”
Shortly after this, me and Amanda headed for the Dollfie Panel with Pandora and Aidan. (my dolls, in case you didn’t know). It was a fun panel with good hosts. Sadly, though, Amanda had to leave before I was able to fully pack back up and escort her out (I’m sorry T^T). I was able to see a friend from BJDI though! All I hear in front of me is “Butterfly! I see her dolls. Butterfly??” (or something like that). I just raise my hand and say “I’m Butterfly.” She pretty much attacked me it seemed XD I feel bad for not saying hello to the other two people I knew from the forum. (I’m sorry *bites lip* I just wanted to go and get home.. I was so tired and sore).
Then it was time for the hunt for Cole. (He was in his car the whole time relaxing, but we hunted and hunted!!). Jennifer (a girl that joined our room the 2nd or 3rd night.. I forgot which) pretty much glomped me as well when we found them in the food court XD Full of energy as well that one.

When I got home, though, I realized I left my camera charger in the room.. Hopefully they find it and give
me a call tomorrow. ♥

------------------------------------------

Sorry I only have a video of short clips of people I liked... I forgot to bring a camera. Here’s the video:
(They’re just all those clips put together with music XD Enjoy):
(Had to split it up into 3 parts.. Stupid you tube *pouts*)

After much fun and many mini-clips that aren’t as funny as they were at the time, A-Kon has come to a close again this year. I met many interesting people and won’t forget them for a long time. I really look forward to next year and hope that I’ll be able to see certain people between now and then. (Mostly certain online friends and friends from High School).

Also, before I cut it off and finally go to bed.. Did anyone else notice the Sheraton’s symbol looks a lot like the Battle Royale symbol? x_x I think they’re planning something!
