My Darling


A lot's happened in the last few days. Sit down, stay awhile as this writer mellows before you. There's a lot to be discussed and broken down.

Thursday came to be like any other Thursday. Holocaust class had midterms, and that was lovely. I most certainly aced it. After school, we packed and got ready with some friends for YOUMACON 09!

Friday morning was a bit of a rush, but isn't it always? XD Hah. We packed the van, printed off directions, and made our way out with time to spare. It was a pleasant trip until the ride I was in got a bit lost (and that happened both ways, no big deal, fracking mapquest). Ended up at least a half hour behind the costume-van, but we did make our way to the Hyatt regency hotel. I did miss that place and all the wonderful cosplayers. I dressed up as Darcia from Wolf's Rain, and we meandered around until 4 or 5 for the Masquerade Ball. So many pictures were taken of me, it felt really good! And hugs, I got lots of hugs. "Hug me lord darcia! 8D" ... How could I refuse? Hahah.

While a couple of us were Masquerading, the rest of us wandered around. The game-room was great, though I was half-blind most of the day wearing Darcia's mask. I'd definitely need to get a wig for next year. Tried out that Halo 3 ODST, not a bad game. Challenging a bit in a good way. My keycard, and sis', were really screwy, and that got on everyone's nerves. My dear lady dressed as Yaichiru, and she was pretty. And my sister in her ballroom dress, seriously wow.

I didn't play Dead Space as was self-made tradition, was a bit too tired and Deb/myself were watching Monk. Blankity blank, blurred memories abounded too with either some stress or weariness.

The Masquerade Skits were pretty awesome, can't wait for them on youtube, as were the AMV wars! Some good amv's, but of course I loved my sisters' the best. The masquerade skits were pretty humorous, as were the cosplaying designs. The line was long to wait though, even though we had first-spots in line. They were all running late, and sis had to leave soon into the skits to go to her AMV awards contests. And finally! – Sis won 2 amv awards, one being Fan Favorite, which was a great plaque, and I'm sure a great surprise and joy to her! I'm proud of her achievements there. And so proud of her and thankful for her craftsmanship of my Darcia outfit.

I fell asleep rather swiftly after the Dance Rave Saturday night/morning. I had to awake early though, there was a small Wolf's Rain photo shoot. And my goodness, there was a girl dressed as Toboe! She made it a wonderful weekend just by her enthusiasm and hard work trying to get a photoshoot of wolfs rain together. I think it was her doing that, anyways. Only 1 Blue showed up and 1 Kiba however when I was there, but we got a lot of good shots together. Especially in the lobby, people were estatic to see myself, Toboe and Kiba. It was very fun to see that people loved to see Darcia at Youmacon, for being so obscure. It must've been the feathers and menacingness. I'm definitely going as him again next year.

We hauled ourselves out of youmacon and – oh yeah, those elevators were Terrible – into our rides back home. It was exhausting, and surely I almost fell asleep in the car. Youmacon was still a great time this year, everyone had a blast!
