About a week or so ago I went to Otakon.......At first I didnt realise that it was the next day so I was caught off guard. It wasnt that crowded this year either. Last year we had to wait in a line wrapping all the way around the convention center but Noooo. This time we just strolled on in and paid for our passes.all three of us were cosplaying, like about 100 other people I was Ed from FMA, like nobody else my friend Kelly was Kozi from Malice Miser (I hope I spelled it right), her friend Adam was supposed to be Renji from Bleach but the wig couldnt fit on his head because of his hair........so he just went as a random Soul Reaper. At the convention down in the dealer room I fell in love with a tiny plushie of Al. I called him my Lil' Al and carried him around with me everywhere. On Saturday while waiting for the mascarade line to diminish I decided to pull out my sketch pad because I sketch thats what I do! We got yelled at for sitting in the spot we were in so we got up and left to go acrossed the street to the dealer room. I got stopped by a staff person and told that I dropped something out of my bag that was mistakingly left open. It was a box of pocky that I was saving so I went to pick it up. Only to realise later that my Lil' Al fell out to. I went back to look for him but could not find him (some jerk probably fell in love with it like I did and picked it up off the ground like it was free game). That got me depressed because Lil' Al wasnt just Lil' he was a damn rip-off and I loved him so much! Thus I was depressed afterwords, and Adam hitting me in the head and fake strangling me wasnt helping either. He kept saying "It was only a plushie" and that he didnt get why I was so down all of a sudden. but after listening to the staff guy stating that the dealer room was closed early and he didnt know why about 50 times we decided to go get something to eat or maybe just a drink. Since Kelly was dressed as a certian picture of Kozi some maybe drunk homeless guy mistook her for a "babe" or other things that I dont feel like mentioning because Im going to be respectful now right? So after walking aimlessly around in circles Kelly called her mom and asked where a restaraunt that we ate at last year was. When we found it we went into a little store and got some Bawls energy drinks. Now that got me out of my sour mood along with the joltz enery gum that they also got. But along with that happiness came an erge......the erge to...................okay screw it! When I got out of the bathroom I got a couple comments on my outfit and we went to see a showing. Too bad the room only held a certian amount of people according to the fire marshel. So we got kicked out and ran into some of Kelly and Adam's friends one of them I knew they did not like because I saw him before and Kelly kept saying that he was being really weird for strange reasons. I think he felt the same way about Kelly or he just caught the bad vibes being directed tward him cause he just walked away. We hung out with the other guy though but I forgot his name. Even if we didnt get to do a lot of stuff we still had fun hanging out and enjoying ourselves. In a really dramatic and weird fashion I guess that you could say its all a part of the majic of Otakon!
