Auckgeddon report, I know, skip it, you know you want to 8DD


The temperature was BURNING. Soo glad I was being Akane that day. It was great seeing all the guys from the forums~~! I LUVS YOU ALL!!
The line for geddon was CRAZY!! I can't believe how long it stretched.

What I snagged at geddon: (brought most things on the first day cause I knew I wouldn't be able to do it the other days/other outfits)
- Ouran manga vol. 9-14 (I'm sorry ~thornback!! I still lubs yoouuuu~~!)
- Fake manga box set
- Blood+ manga vol. 1-4 & Blood+ Adigio I & II
- Aoi House vol. 2
- Tsubasa anime vol. 6 (damnit! it was vol. 5 that had the ep where Oruha sings!)
- Air Gear vol. 6
- bookmarks & Tsuna badge from ~pd-inc
- an a3 poster filled with bishies (darn, should've got her DA username, her art is so good~~)

Later at night the guys in the hotel room give me a suprise birthday cake (Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~~ I'm so greatful to have such awesome friends~~) Nathan gave me the CLAMP Code Geass Artbook!! Drooooooooooooollllll~~~~~~ *Chamosia gave me a yaoi manga for my bday and all the roommates shared it around LOL everyone couldn't stop laughing about all the graphic scenes in it XDD


Cosplay Chess & Cosplay games! Definitely my highlight of Auckgeddon~~
~reddo-yuki did my make up that day, so when I look back at the photos I think 'man, should've asked Ana to do my make up for all 3 days lol'.
In the room for the cosplay games, the front row chairs had the name of the characters that were participating in the games, and I found this awesome a4:[link] I feel so special~~ Thank you ~s-in-c!! The chibis heads are soo cute!!
As *4ever-in-a-dream has mentioned, we came 2nd in the Otaku quiz (we represented NCIS! = North (central) Island Syndicate) Wooot~!
I <33 the Ouran Host Club for hosting the event, soo epic~~
Afterwards ~thornback gave me this: [link]
Thank you~!! I <33 these pictures and will take good care of them~~
Then ~AzureWolf2/Sebastian saw it and told me to put my hat back on and gave me a piggyback ride~~ Weeeeeeeeeeeee~~~~~~
(though I tried jumping off and fell, Ciel's giant butt caught me 8D)

was fun~~ The bands were pretty good! And the congo line was fun~ There was a Prof. Stein! I'll upload the photo later, maybe.. (my face was completely red after that on-going congo, haha)
And Kitten Slave looks better in a dress than I do .____. but I'm practically a boy without a penis lol


I couldn't stay to go up on stage cause I had to catch my plane back, but WOW!! Those entries were amazing!!
There was quite a bit of 'disapproval' on the comp etc. from some of the onlookers and such, but pfft, whatever! I thought the judges made the right decisions! They've been working their butts off to sort out this n that, I sometimes get the feeling our lovely judges don't get the appreciation they deserve.
And seeing everyone's crazy outfits has inspired/pushed me to go crazy on the next Wellygeddon comp!

We ended up going to the airport early (oh yea, sorry about the mess we left at the hotel room ~Kyokyogirl)and sat around and had a good laugh at the Dunkin' Donuts packaging LOL (but seriously, one bite of those donuts, and we all jizzed in our pants XDD)
Then ~AzureWolf2 introduced Nathan & Jake the beauty of a McDonald's cheese burger with chocolate sauce lol

So that was a really great first time Auckgeddon experience for me~ Hopefully will be able to go again next year~
though it seems there were some things happening in the shadows that makes me want to beat the crap out of a certain person..

Anywho~

[WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY & BIGGEST JOURNAL ENTRY EVER (and you know how much I ramble lol)]

So, I finished my mocks last Tuesday, on Thursday our Media class got to go on a censor thing. Basically we watch a movie that hasn't come out in NZ yet and rate what age level of audience it would suit. Because it was to test out the students' knowledge of censorship, it HAD to be a horror. (I can't stand them 8D)
'Jennifer's Body' it was called, and yeah, definitely an R-16.
The film wasn't bad, it'd be worth checking out if you're a male teenager lol.

Now, SakuFest~!!
Soooooooo fuuuuuuun~~~~~~~~~ (and cold, even through Ciel's tailcoat.)
It was great seeing everyone again~! (as it is everytime!)

I'm sorry if I scared people with my run-up hugs, I'm like a dog seeing a new guest in the house when it comes to friends lol

The meet up was a little messy haha, when I arrived I panicked that no one else was there (and everyone gave me hostile(?) looks lol) so I did what I could, ring up JP. Turns out he, Static and Fred were still on their way from Welly, FAIL.

Then Ricky (my lil bro) pointed out some cosplayers.
"Where?" Then spotted ~Kyokyogirl's BRIGHT hair, "Oooooh."


~Kyokyogirl cosplaying as Kai Hiwatari from Beyblade. Such accurate detail on the outfit + extra points for heroic wind-blown scarf XD

I missed out on quite a bit of the food cause I didn't want to use my neck scarf as a napkin (though I got some kebab sauce on Ciel in the end, I skipped breakfast and was starving)
Then *wissy-j, Dakyung and ~GhoulofDemise came, yaaaaaay~! (and damn I couldn't get a photo of us together!)


*wissy-j in her gorgeous Ciel dress~~ I remember a little girl saying "Wow~ That's a really pwetty dress~ I want to be pretty and wear a dress like that~~~" <3


I had tons of fun doing pervyprincey poses~
And with such epic costumes about, it is your duty to have crack photos!


Bocchan's curiousity can only be known as pervsion
(with my pimp cane too!)


and it seems that Ciel was not the only one curious LOL
(photo taken by ~Li-Bai)


"MARRY MEH, MAI LITTLE ROBIN~!" "no."
I'm such a douche lol

Now for some non self-cest photos 8D

~Li-Bai as Tifa from FFVII:AC
YOUR EPICNESS SURPASSES YOUR HEIGHT!! XDD


~GhoulofDemise as Madhatter (such an cool design <3)


~Azeria and her friend Hannah~~


I'm sorry I didn't get you name! But you were awesome and helped us get through the haunted house by singing the Pokemon song~~


~rayjin12 as a shinigami~ "It's not a knife! It's a SWORD!!" Lol

We visited the Haunted House attraction, the line was long (not as long as the candy floss line!) it was pretty funny lol, it was one of the IPC blocks closed up, pretty pitch black, fabric all over the walls and random decorations.
They had these nets hanging out at you and these gross mini rubber babies that hit you in the face. ~Kyokyogirl grabbed one and fiddled with it lol
I started singing the gaybar song, then we all started singing the Pokemon song when the people started jumping out at us XDD

Now some photos with the sakura~~

Epic facials are epic~


~Li-Bai struts her stuff


There wasn’t any wind this time, so I held ~Kyokyogirl’s scarf out (and played with it lol)


Kai, AWWWWAAAAAY~~~~~!!


Mysterious Mad Hatter


Ahaha, awkward smile much
(and I didn’t know my damn collar was up the entire day)


*wissy-j could probably camouflage herself with the trees then attack people with a branch or something

and cause I just had to…

“Such a wonderful view~” “The hell are you doing.”
(Photo by ~Li-Bai )


Group photo~ (wish we got everyone in there)


PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!


We are so gansta lol


Then we had our go at fusion and failed with a duckbutt jj lol

After more photographers ninja-ing out at us we finally made it to the candy floss (big line is big) and I’m sorry for jumping the line to get Ricky to buy us 5 extra lots *goes sit in corner*
If it counts as retribution, my hat fell off and broke along the way lol I’ll fix it later..


I found my Auntie and cute little cousins~~ (baby Christine got scared when she saw my red contact )


I found this on my camera later, I have the strangest facials during convos (lol to the guy on the right)


Not much happened afterwards, so that pretty much ends our wonderful magical day~

Holy cow it's 12:45am, it took me 2-3 hours to edit/up this entry.
I have school tomorrow, something to do with female self-confidence lecture *sigh* ghheeeeeeeeeey..

Yes! It's Momiji Sohma from Fruits Basket


I finished this little fella last night~ Spent about 13 hours on him. I've never done a sailor fuku before so it was 'interesting' to make the pattern.

[I'm a reckless cosplayer. I don't buy patterns cause they cost/needs to save moneys, so I tend to just hack at the fabric, sew unpick unpick RAGE sew. And it somehow works out. 8D ]

The binding/stripes on the uniform may be a bit crooked cause I am too lazy to find a ruler didn't have much time to measure this, line up that, pin this, as I needed to study for mock exams. The lines are surprisingly straight though lol
And it turns out 5m is NOT enough binding, so I had to make 1.5m of binding out of non-crush suiting, which is impossible to iron down. grr...

So why is it that I decided to make an unnecessary 9th costume (this year alone) when I should be worrying about university/auckgeddon cosplay comp+ so much more?

cause Ima retard

My dear little kohai ~macka-packa made her first costume EVER! And it's Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket~ She was going to debut her hardwork at the Sakura Festival, but she can't make it cause of the damn school play.
So I promised that I'd make it up to her by cosplaying as Momiji and we'd go Cosplay Bowling together with Larry/~pr0fessionaln00b~~

(Larry can't make it to Sakufest either, I really wanted to see her epic Yuko (xxxHOLiC) outfit too! )


(cause photos of people while they're talking(?) are sexy)
------------------
Anywho, I just did my mock english exam today, anything lower than a merit and Ima go BBQ some betches my art teacher looked at what I have so far for the art boards, I'm like 2 pictures away from completion, and then Miss tells me to re-do my entire first board...
not effing happy.....

I'm now (I think) going to Wanganui School of Design instead for next year. Their open day sucked me in lol.
