zenellyHey everyone! Back from San Japan. Super tired. At work. God, I just want to be back in bed. \
BUT I ONLY HAVE THREE MORE DAYS OF WAKING UP LIKE THIS, SO I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE COMPLANING.
San Japan broke down like this:
Friday - Woke up (AGAIN AT 4:30, UGH), picked up stuff, drove up to Katy to pick up Pixie's and my friend, Jessica. Drove to San Antonio. That took us until 10, and we checked in/unpacked/got ready by 11 in time for lunch. Pixie spent that day as N Harmonia from Pokemon, got a ton of pictures taken of her, and Jessica was a Red Fem!Scout from Team Fortress 2. Around 2, Pixie went and changed into Organization Roxas for a few hours, but that coat is hot as hell, even in the air conditioning, so she was only Roxas for a couple of hours before switching back into N. We met up with a couple of friends and hung out before heading back up to the room for the rave.
Where I fell asleep. So I couldn't go to the rave. *sadfaces* Jessica and Pixie were pulled onto the stage apparently.
SATURDAY - Since Pixie and Jessica didn't get back into the rooms until 3 in the morning, it took us until 11 to even get started. We got lunch out of cosplay, and immediately went to put Jessica and Pixie into Zim and Dib cosplay from Invader Zim. Oh man. This one was popular. We were maybe out in it for four hours, and everyone was stopping them for pictures. And Jessica as Zim is hilarious.
STORY TIME.
One person asked them if Pixie and Jessica could hug for her picture. They did and almost immediately another girl was like "NOW KISS". Since Pixie and Jessica are ZADR shippers, they kissed and there was this HUGE squeal around us. They got practically tackled by one girl who was just walking by when they did this. It was ... actually pretty awesome.
But Zim's makeup is really uncomfortable, so we went back up to the room so Pixie and Jessica could change BACK into N and Fem!Scout. Spent the rest of the day in that. GOT TO SEE EGORAPTOR'S PANEL!!
Tried to rave that night, but Pixie had pulled something in her leg, and the DJ wasn't good enough for me to stick around, so I went back up to the room with Pixie and we just hung out until we fell asleep.
SUNDAY - Woke up at 9:30, decided almost immediately that there was going to be NO cosplaying that day, because everything hurt. Seriously, all three of us were sore. No more raving in heels. Bad, bad idea. Walked the floor and bought some gifts for friends before we headed home.
Alright, second story time.
I have this... thing. Any roadtrip I drive on where I'm not following someone else who knows where they're going, I end up taking at least one wrong exit. Normally, I notice before I get too far. BUT APPARENTLY on Sunday, I decided that WEST was the way to go, not EAST. So I exited on 410-WEST. That was the right way, right?
NO. NO IT WAS NOT.
So I uh, basically circled San Antonio for forty minutes before hitting I-10 and going "... EL PASO IS THE WRONG DIRECTION, GET ON EAST, SHIT, I AM AN IDIOT".
That is the "How Zene picked the wrong exit to take this roadtrip" story for this convention.
HOW WAS EVERYONE'S WEEKEEEEND?? I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU ALL IN TWO DAYS, OBVIOUSLY YOU MISSED MEEEE!

I think this time I'll manage to escape the cousins I don't know and the great aunts. But family friends are in abundance. :I

Date: 2011-08-10 07:45 pm (UTC)Really the worst thing is the internet withdrawl. I am definately one of those people who gets really antsy if they haven't checked their email in a while. :P
It's only been two days and it took me over half an hour to clear out my tumblr. XDDD
no subject
Date: 2011-08-10 07:50 pm (UTC)Pah, only half an hour. I can't even clear up 12 hours worth of shit in that. I seriously need to reconsider who I'm following on that.

Date: 2011-08-10 08:15 pm (UTC)Ugh. My DA went to shit too. It's a good thing I can still check my mail, or else I think I might break my inbox.
What's your tumblr tho? I'd like to follow you. (You don't have to follow me. I reblog alot of stuff and 90% of it is Hetalia so...XDDD)
no subject
Date: 2011-08-10 08:29 pm (UTC)I check my DA like a dying person whenever I can, so it's still not too bad.
I think it's here. But I could be wrong. I'm fairly certain that's it, though.
If I do follow you, it'll be in a couple of hours. I can't get onto Tumblr from here. TT^TT

Date: 2011-08-12 08:51 pm (UTC)Also, remember how you were talking about your mom's family being conservative Christians? I think I have you beat.
Rednecks. About as rednecked as they come. They even raise animals. My uncle even has the beard and always wears overalls.
So questions about if I have a boyfriend and if I like any guys at my school become very awkward. The older I get, the harder they are to dodge. >.
