Pre-Otakon!
Aug. 6th, 2008 09:24 pmSO!!! currently, i'm at my sister's place in Washington DC, because i have to go to church tomorrow morning, BUT. it's still a big deal that i'm even on the east coast right now! so here's the rundown so far:
Lady arrived in LA on Sunday morning, and in the afternoon she and her relatives grabbed me on their way down to Escondido/Temecula/San Diego area, where Jenali lives. i've only ever talked to Lady online before, so it was really exciting to see her. i was worried about her for a while, 'cause she said she'd grab me noonish - afternoonish, and when noon came and went without a word i got concerned that maybe something had happened to her. turned out that she was just asleep (jet lagged, comin' in from Australia and all) and we headed down together at around 4:30. i luuuuuuuuuvs Lady, by the way. she's awesome fun. :3 we talked about all kinds of random crap in the car, just whatever came to mind, and seriously, i luvs her~
but anyways, we headed down to Jenali's place, where i tackled her pets. because omg fat kitties and hamus, do want. XD they're just so damn cute!! and fat!! and LAKNVLAECL;AOWA LUFF. <3 we had to take them to her parents' place so they could be looked after while we were all at Otakon, but we also figured we'd just chill over there while we were at it. so we did, and we whittled the time away just hanging out and talking and watching old Disney movies. it was a whole lot more fun than it sounds, believe me. we took Lady to eat at Outback, where she was like "this is wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong~" and we just laughed... her and her Aussie pride. :3 and when we hit wee hours of the morning, we went to Denny's to get like... milkshakes and dessert.
we ended up going to sleep at like... 8 am. which was epic, for me. XD we spent the next day going around for cosplay stuff (yep, i've been pulled into the cosplaying thing, too~ <3 exciting!!), going to costume shops and Wal-Mart and stuffs... and i was helping Jen and Lady out with their masquerade skit! i really love the way theirs is going, it's just so cute. :P we spent Tuesday pretty much the same way... except we all fell asleep a lot earlier than 8 am. we fell asleep at like... 10. and then we all woke up at 3:30am, were like "hey, i'm hungry" and went to Denny's for breakfast. XD did some more last minute cosplay/skit prop shopping, and then headed back to Jen's place (we spent every night in her parents' house before that :P) to pack up our things and get ready to go. we also met up with a bunch more people who were leaving with us, friends of Jen's and her roommates'.
which takes us to... this morning! even though it feels like it was last night. we pretty much did not go to sleep. the flight was at 6:30am, so we're like, okay get there early, and since San Diego is still some ways away from Temecula, we decided we'd head out at around 2am. we get to the airport at 2:45 (how about that :P)... and it turns out we can't even check in until 4:30. soooo, we kill time in the airport by hanging around and playing with our DSs. because we're awesome like that. hell yeah. :3
other than that... flight went smoothly. went from San Diego to Atlanta, which arrived slightly later than planned, so getting from that plane to the next one that went to Baltimore was a little hectic. we all tried to get in some proper sleep on the plane rides, some of us more successful than others. buuuuuuuuuut, arrival in Baltimore worked out great. we found Manda in the airport at the baggage claim, and we all headed to the hotel together via Super Shuttle. i had to leave them temporarily for the sake of church things, but i'll be back with them tomorrow morning. :P but that's cool, 'cause i've kinda missed my big sister and it's good seeing her again. family's important, y'know? but they also understand that i wanna hang out with my friends, too, so they're getting me back to them ASAP. ^.^
tomorrow, we're supposed to meet up with EVEN MOAR PEOPLE, for which i am quite the excited. and then actual Otakon starts on Friday, so that's EEEEEEVEN MOOOOAAAAAR exciting!! 8D i totally cannot wait~~
well anyways. that's enough outta me! i'll put up a big thing with PICTURES once the whole thing's actually over and done with. :3 g'night for now, guys!
