TUESDAY

Met Sanosuke at the Port Authority and hopped on the bus with dad to go out to his house. Fun times, lounged around a little bit until caffeinic (Dee) drove down, ROAD TRIP TO DEE'S HOUSE. Her parents were so awesome omg. We dorked around at her place for a little bit, watched some videos (Dick in a Box, Dear Sister and Xenosaga Faux Pas 4 GET!) Then we were SHUUUNNNAHHH'D and crashed a hotel nearby since there was no extra room at Dee's. IT WAS FUN. I forgot if that was the night we watched the Bleach dub or not, but one night we did and it was fab.

WEDNESDAY

Next day, we drive up to Atlantic City! I am a total dorky tourist and squee at everything I see. CASINOS AND THE TAJ MAHAL AND AWESOMENESS OMG there were so many billboards. Then we met Usagiand hung out for a bit, molested each other and then went to Usagi's house for a while. Her cats were adorable and her dogs were raping us all, especially Dee since they probably sensed her bottoming power!!11!

There were IRC antics from all of us sharing the same computer, Dee proposing to Ryo in GChat with funky rings and snacking on Pocky and Pretz and stuff we picked up at the Asian Market on the way to her house. Asian Market that, like Atlantic City, amazed me and I oogled everything around me.

Then we go to pick up Bikky from the bus station, take a pit stop and be retards in KBToys, swordfighting and making Naruto figures touch each other. I had on my Burger King crown! Dee got a cop setfor her cosplay and also because she is a gay cop and could not resist. Bikky arrives! And we party back at the hotel, and by party I mean handcuff Bikky to the wall, talk camp and then throw a back at wafers at each other. We dubbed them the bitch-wafers. I threw it so hard at one point toward the end that it... exploded open against the curtain when it hit and fell all over Dee's bags. O-OOPS. But it was awesome.

THURSDAY

We had FREE BREAKFAST! It was awesome and I pigged out. :d Then in two cars we check out and drive on over to Baltimore, finally. Mass adventures and "SOMEHOW" appearing on Gay Street resulted in finding a parking space, eventually, and then getting on line for our badges for the con. Which was a long line, and along wait! But it was so much fun, there was a lady going around with a spray bottle of water and misting people since it was hot out. I TOTALLY GOT MISTED. Bikky got a rape whistle that didn't work, we had awesome signs to try and get the attention of anyone who might have been looking for us. Tatsumi, Xander and her friends and Shunsui all joined us.

And then we got our badges, finally! I didn't know anything on the badges, so I got the one with the horses on it so I could make a "HIS WIFE?" joke on it with pen. 8Db My name was "Rupedo/Yzak" on the badge, I was enabled, and I loved it.

We went out to the Cheesecake Factory that night, and the food was great! Quesadilla for the win, and man the Vanilla Bean cake was god-like. Did I mention our group got a handicapped hotel room? IT WAS SUPER. I did my Dearka impression as I hobo'd it up on the floor.

FRIDAY

Free breakfast at the hotel in Baltimore, too! Yogurt and Honey Nut Cheerios. And SAUSAGGGGGGE. We hung out on line for the Dealers Room first, had some fun times on line - there was HARD GAI. Yes Maito Gai, and he was awesome and I wanted his bod. We were excited dorks mostly, until they finally opened at noon. SO MANY STANDS AND SO MUCH STUFF it was a candy store~.

I think I got everything I got from the first day only. XD First I was eyeing the Gankutsuou artbook, innerly debating if I wanted to spend on it. It was sparkly and shiny and glittery so it was tempting. Then I look down the stand and see the Gundam SEED poster, saw that they had the Yzak one, and spazzed for it. As I spazzed, I still had the Gankutsuou artbook in my hand, so I wound up getting both. The poster is lovely, and the artbook is really nice. It has three posters, character color art for outfits and such and general line art, recaps for the series and a few pages of pretty illustrations. I think the artbooks all been scanned though, so. XD

Yoinked to the little cramped manga/artbook place and found one of the Xenosaga anthologies I didn't have, happy times! Went doujin hunting and was sorely disappointed by not only the lack of Xenosaga stuff in general (especially URTV stuff, everything I found was general hentai with giant scary boobs and stuff ;_;), but some of the SEED stuff, too. The only DeaYza one I found was one of the Tsuki no Kodomos I already owned, and otherwise it was random other things. BUT at one stand I LUCKED OUT HOORAY! And found the Inner Garden DeaYza doujin by Gosunkugi, which is a circle I like and have some doujins of already. So I totally got that. :D

I found the three Xenosaga figures tooooo.

Then we went to get on line for SEKI TOMOKAZU. I had my pretty Dearka and Yzak Pride bromide with me to sign and we were all giddy little girls. >D SO EXCITING. We were on line for a while so we sat around and I played with my figures a little bit and we read doujin and artbooks. Then the line MOVED and he was right there and socute and omg omg. He asked me where to sign it and after he did he went to go pick it up to give it back to me and he couldn't. XD IT WAS HOT and we were all squealing for a good 20 minutes after we were all out of it.

We whored back to the Dealers Room, too. Met LOTS OF CFUD PEOPLE THROUGH ALL OF THIS god Crowley George Lelouch etc. SAW A KOS-MOS COSPLAYER. CAME A LOT. I forget what else we did but it was fun and we eventually went back to the hotel. I failed at a coffee maker, Dee ordered pizza and we had on music.

SATURDAY

MOAR FREE BREAKFAST unf. On our way to the Dealers Room in the morning there was a SHION COSPLAYER ON LINE FOR SOMETHING and Dee and I harassed her and I may have scared her cause I was like AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. She mentioned a possible Xenoget-together down where the cosplayers all tended to meet. After the Dealers Room I went on over there by my lonesome, and on the way I saw MAN KOS-MOS and died of glee.

I hobo'd around watching all the pretty cosplayers. There was a sort of circle around a Cloud and a Sephiroth who were doing awesome fight poses for people. Then out of nowhere a Matrix-Neo comes in to pose with them and there was luls. Circle grew bigger as more people jumped into the circle for DRAMATIC FIGHT POSES, mostly circled around targeting Neo, who owned everyone. I think one of the best parts was Harry Potter coming up behind and wanding him on the neck. Then there was GANG RAPE POSE of like 20 people all surrounding him. XD IT WAS SO FUN TO WATCH.

Then it turned into a game of semi-IC duck duck goose and that just great. Since people fell and cheated and there was much win involved.

JJ got two Gravitation Remixes which was pain but also awesome and we spoke of wonderful things like getting Maki Murakami to sign a really horrible page over somebody's penis or something. The CFUD meetup was fun - we had a sign in our corner that said "CFUD GOES HERE" one one side, and on the back of the notebook "THE BARRIER STARTS HERE" so we all cheered when people walked past the sign cause then THEY COULD NOT ESCAPE. There was some molestation, I kidnapped Dee's Kumogarou doll and Hitsugaya squeaked when we poked her. There were Potter Pals cosplay and we loved them; Dumbledore did the naked dance for us!!

JJ also got a really nice Gojyo piece from the Artist Alley and then we made a little rooster sticker to play pin the cock on the Gojyo in true CFUD fashion. Then I went with some people to the Artist Alley and woooow there was so much pretty. I was oogling a lot and grabbing for some cards from some of the tables. I dorked every time I saw a Xenosaga or SEED thing. XD

After thaaaat I forget exactly, man. We eventually went back to the hotel for hangings out and had a lot of fun, Shunsui also joined us for that and Tatsumi (who was cosplaying girl-Tatsumi) and Dee (who was cosplaying Ryo from FAKE) did a semi in-character picture shoot of them doing "paperwork" - I am going to post those series of pictures when I make my seperate picture post later, since someone else got the whole sequence of pictures we took for them. BUT IT WAS GRAND and so fucking hilarious. It was paperwork -> stripping -> walling -> whips -> Franziska appearing and handing them condoms -> ties draped over the lamp. Then we ended it with mysterious white stuff on the desk. ... which somehow birthed something about me using semen as fingerpaint.

We also have a VIDEO from the camera or us doing a re-enactment of a post from camp - JJ's intro post where he lunges for Dee and Dee replaces himself with Yzak, who gets raped by JJ. It was great, I accidently groped her and you just hear her going "YZAK GRABBED MY TITTY" after we had finished.

Then JJ, Bikky and I all wanted to go out late-night for the last night of the con, ... and we did! We wound up back at the con, and searched around. We wanted to go to the yaoi panel that was coming up (right after the 4chan one orz, the people exiting that oh man) and when we talked to this guy about the schedules, he said something along the lines of "the yuri-- I mean yaoi panel is now at this time, in this room. Things keep changing so it's hard to keep the schedules straight" and I went "oh you just made a pun there" and he cracked up. XD

There was also late night DDR in the gaming section. And trying out this keyboard DDR-type beat game. I KEYBOARD SMASHED A LOT.

We went to the yaoi panel! Which was so much fun. We met TWO CFUD audience members there! One of them shook our hands it was AWESOME and then we chatted for a while about things. The yaoi panel was... oh man. Ninja turtle porn. Dumbledore/Voldemort porn. Fun talk about a lot of things, I love cons so much. SO MUCH.

We hung around watching the wacky antics outside of the con center since people were drunk and/or high and there was much loudness. We headed back to the hotel really late and passed out on the floor.

SUNDAY

FREE FOOD AGAIN and I also stole an extra minibox of cereal to eat whenever, uhu. Bikky and I headed to the Murakami line, and then got sidetracked. Because something caught my eye in one of the rooms and I HAD STUMBLED UPON THE LAST EXILE PANEL, so we sat through that and it was so fun and ee eee eeeeeee!!! Makes me miss Dio already in CFUD. XD

BUT YES after that was Murakami line, and as we talked about, JJ DID in fast get her to sign a remix on Yuki's penis.

After that we got together for Hooters - there was a crazy drunk guy harassing us, Dee loev hot dogs, Yzak haet Hooters, Ikki's penis was a tiny french fry.

Then we left. ): Sadness, I didn't want it to end! We hugged and humped goodbye, and droooove back. There were horses asses and Dee having ROAD RAGE!! I stopped to pick up the Harry Potter book and then we waited for the train, listening to fun ringtones on cell phones. Aaand then Sanosuke and I trained it back to the city. Saw her off, and then walked home from Penn Station by myself with all of my bags at like 11:00pm. XD

IN CLOSING, I had the time of my life, I loved every moment at the con, and everyone there. And next year for it I want to cosplay Jr. THIS IS MY GOAL.
