(Time: 1:55AM) Warning: Insanely long blog post.

Hey, is it a shocker to say that I've never been to Anime North (or AN as I will refer to it) before? My like of Anime may not be the highest. In percentages it's at at least 3.35%, but that doesn't mean I won't try new things from time to time. Or anything Japanese related. I love the Japanese! For real! The real reason I never went all those other times, was because my mother wouldn't allow me that far away from the house. (Hahaha, pathetic, I know.) So why this year?

Honestly, this guy is to blame. I guess my mother trusts him or something...creepy. (Picture of Michael (this guy) below)was late since I missed one...He didn't blame me, or blame me when I woke both his parents up by ringing the doorbell...sorry Mr. and Mrs. Michael.

We got on the bus after leaving his house. His parents are so kind~too bad authority figures scare the shit out of me.

Bus rides are lame, so I won't explain that. What I remember about the bus ride...hmm, I pwnd Michael four times, maybe five. (Hahaha,) EB Games sold him Paper Mario GameCube instead of Mario Galaxy. Poor thing. I won't make fun of you anymore.

At Younge and Bloor station the bestest thing happened. We met Minors! Youngest was 12 and oldest was 17. Wish my mom let me travel past Kipling when I was 12...
So our little group of two expanded to eight, I believe. (Later it turned into 9, w hen Michael had a baby!)So what happened here was, the little group of five girls one boy had gotten lost on the way. Thanks to the way I was dressed, they approached us and asked if we were heading to AN 2010. Man, I think I spazzed out on the train ride. For little kids, they were really mature and could handle themselves. They even liked the same crap I liked.

(And that's who is in the picture with Michael above. One of the Minors.)The Minors, Michael and I actually spoke the entire way to Kipling. It was great.They're reconstructing Kipling Station, so we had trouble finding our bus. A bus driver or station worker told us to get on some bus that was in front of us, so obediently we got on. Turns out it was an express. Shit, right? Wrong! Once we saw the cosplayers walking from hotel to hotel, we couldn't control our excitement and started screaming...We got an express bus to stop at our stop! (In other words, we got kicked off the bus. Hahaha!)

The first person I met at AN 2010, was a guy standing behind me in the Registration Line. (I never had so much fun waiting in a line before...) He had a BJD (Ball Jointed Doll) that he named Sarah. Cutest motherflipping doll, ever! He told me he got Sarah's clothing comissioned, and yet the wicked vest he was wearing, he made himself. I think I gave him the O_o face. You my friend are mentally challeneged. But I kid the man and his BJD. I just think he should make them himself.

Some guy came around telling us to register our group and put down a group name. I suggested my name as the group name. They all said no. Guess I'm not loved...After getting inside, I had another spazz attack. I saw some of my pals from school. I knew they'd be there, since they were staying for the weekend. I just didn't think I'd see them so soon. I gave her a hug and ditched her to stay with the group. She took my picture, said I looked good.

I bought some merchandise. Two posters, two pins, a plushie and a Bleach key chain for my brother, Zackre. (He lost it the next day.) I was so hyper that day. I didn't really eat, (when I'm sick, I cannot tell if I'm hungry or not) I had a cookie Michael gave me. He's so sweet, like his parents.

Continuing on, we ended up traveling back and forth between hotels. I saw another one of my friends! It was Chanel, working at AN as a maid. So cool, right? I also saw Reina and her friends! Hey guys!

Truthfully, I was frantically searching for my girlfriend. I knew she'd be there. It's terrible, because when I did find her, I couldn't stay with her. (I came with someone else and I wouldn't ditch 'em.)She was cosplaying as Shadow, Sonic and Tails. When I found her she was Tails. I liked the picture I took of her so much, I printed a copy and posted it on my door. (That's one step away from being obsessive!)

We decided to have lunch around now. I still didn't feel hungry-even though I was apparently starving? This is when Michael's baby was born. His friend...I'm sorry, I don't remember his name...joined our clic. He's a nice one too. Wish I had been more focused to had remembered to talk to you.

At some point a 'free hugs' guy walked by, to which a Minor screamed, 'I need to hug him, come with me!' I was fiddling around with my camera, so I tossed it down on top of my stuff and went with her. Needless to say, I regretted that little mistake. After I had gone, some cosplayers saw my 'abandoned' camera and picked it to return it or something. Thankfully, when I returned to my spot and didn't see it a Sasuke cosplayer heard me say, 'where's my camera!'
He jumped into action and helped me track down my camera. Yes, we actually did managed to get it back in less than twenty minutes. Thanks Sasuke! You're so heroic! (By the way, this cosplayer had the nicest accent I ever heard. I was so drawn to it.)

Above is the picture of the two girls who found my camera. I snapped a pic of them after they returned it to me. Thanks you!

Hmm, what else, what else?

Ah, right, can't leave out the other two 'shadows' of the day, can I? (The opposite of highlight is?...)
It was about time for the minors to go home and we left one hotel to go to the other to get them home when Olga realizes the $30 umbrella she just bought, she forgot! Michael and his friend dashed to the hotel and back and saved the umbrella. Good job guys! You made a Minor happy!

Too bad they had to leave right after, they would have enjoyed the rest of the day. Oh well. We can't play all day. (Here's a group picture before our Minors left.) (Michael gets a mother complex around minors.)

I met up with my Reina again. Yay!
I still wasn't hungry and it was hitting eight thirty. Michael said to meet him at the hotel entrance in an hour since I practically begged him to let me stay with Reina while he went to 'dinner'. Not long after Michael left, I met up with my GF! Bonus! She was shadow this time.
I was chilling with them for a bit, goofing off and taking some very questionable pictures with her. I then remembered I had to go meet Michael. Good thing too. They said they wanted to hit a Rave. The same thing Michael and I were going to as well.

I grabbed, Vivian (who sported cute pink gosurori cosplay at one point and cute kitty ears and paws after) and asked her to come with me to find Michael. When we went to find him, we couldn't. I thought that I had been late and he got fed up and left to go wait in line. That wasn't what happened. Since I don't have a cell phone, I didn't even know his number and couldn't call him. I had to call home, ask for his number and then call him. Long process.

I made him worry over me. He was really upset with me. It took everything I had not to cry, because I knew he was only mad because he had been worried. (Fuckery, looks like I need to revive my undead balls.)

We all got to go in the Rave. My stomach still hadn't growled or sent any waves to my brain, so I was running on my natural energy. I danced around for a bit, but suddenly I was literally hit with this headache. It hurt so bad! I really had to go sit down and see if I could tune out the music. This is were apparently I passed out. It happens a lot, so I don't usually take it seriously. Whenever I don't eat, I pass out. I didn't mean to worry anyone or make anyone angry. Sorry. I'll be more careful.

Hmm, I also remember singing, 'Ghost Nappa' , 'Brooklyn Rage' and 'Leather Pants.'
I know I was out of it, if I can't remember why I was singing it. Oh no.

That's about it.
I arrived home late.
Mom was pissed.
Enough said.

I'll post the rest pictures in another post.
