AX 2008

[keyk]

Sorry guys, no pics, but I'm sure pompi, holidayblue, and psychofish (will add more people as I see them) cal help with that~

In a word, it was fun. I mostly chilled at the table since I liked it over there. I'll go on my longer rant now.

Day 1
Haha, summer school until 12:30. Such a drag, but the adagio (sp?) was rather fun to do anyway. Then I waited awhile, called my sister, called Jen, then was met with a surprise by seeing jamuko along with my brother. Unfortunately, my sis told me that Jamuko was coming, so it wasn't a surprise. I did spend a good five minutes saying WHAT on the phone and getting all nervous and stuff *fails*. Jamuko is plenty of cute and fun! Even though the intro I gave was kinda...awkward. XD; I had plenty of balance problems on the train. I could hardly hang on to the dang pole!! *fails even more OTL;;;*

Then we walked to Famima! (short for "family mart" was it?), and Jamuko and I traded eggs while my brother bought food. Their stuff is really good! I got Jamu her lion on the second try, and she got me the fortune teller one. I love its disgruntled face, s-socute. Thanks again! ;w;

Then we finally met up with everyone at the table. XDD;; I was...too scared to introduce myself, I hope I wasn't rude or anything. But I met holidayblue, and she gave me a hug, which I awkwardly tried to reciprocate. XDD;;;;; She's so pretty though! I loved her hair. *_* I met Mouse and few others (s-sorry, I don't remember your names ;__;). And then I manned the table alone for the first time.

It's just. I didn't know where everything was, so I had a bit of difficulty trying to figure things out. I have to thank the customers for being so patient with me. TwT;; I felt so bad~ I flipped through the sales book for prices I couldn't find, and I might have mixed something up. I'm pretty sure I did give the correct change and stuff, but my memory sucks. If I did mess up, at least Ruina wasn't losing anything! I didn't know where she put the money, so I used my own for change, which I'm totally ok with. XD; I didn't ask questions since I didn't understand anything anyway. All the other times I manned it, things went fine! The people around were so nice~ They said "Hi," "Thank you," and everything~

And the Digimon peeps fighting with the Pokemon peeps was pure GOLD. Mouse makes the best Digimon 02 Mimi ever. I thought Staples would've printed my stuff out, but they didn't, and since I felt bad not giving anything to Ruina and Jamu, I doodled in my spare time. I didn't have a reference for Beyll, so I walked back to the table and looked at Ruina's Beyll cut-out. Then I placed it in her chair when she left for a cosplayer (I think). XDD;;; I was too embarrassed to give it personally. I also gave Jamu a sketch (I couldn't sneak it ;__;), and she gave me Pokemon in exchange. XDD;; I wish I had enough money on me to pay full price, so I gave her what I could.

Day 2
Late today, which is my fault since the stuff I tried to laminate jammed the LAMINATOR. I didn't see Jamu that day, but I helped with the table and stuff, and knew much better what to do than I did the day before. I went to the exhibit hall and got a Delita and Balthier from FFT. While I love Balthy from FFXII, Delita was a meh for me. XDD;; I wish he was developed more, but I guess his mystery adds to the reason other people like him. I was really aiming for Ramza or Agrias, but, alas, they never showed up. I used to be so good at figurine picking, too! I wonder where it all went....the boxes don't talk to me anymore (you don't have to believe me, but I'm pretty serious about the talking). I talked to the gashapon thing with the eggs, but it didn't talk back, but after I begged it and tried again (it still wouldn't talk back, but...) it gave me the lion Jamu wanted, yay. XDD;; I doubt that's the same thing as the boxes. FFT boxes don't like me much. ;___; M-maybe if my sis wanted it, too, we could've gotten something! I mean, she wanted Vincent, Hizumi, and Jade, and I got her those pretty easily.

A-anyway, we saw Mouse dressed as Rosette today, which was really cute~

Day 3
It went through the laminating machine today! *dances* So I gave Ruina her Beyll in a dress phone charm. With a pink strap (Pompi's idea). Didn't see Jamu, so I couldn't give her the Gavin with cake that I'd promised. XD;; So I put my experimental stuff up (with great difficulty since the lanyard material we had wasn't very good for making stable charms). After awhile, my sis decided to let me use the phone charms anyway. Today had the FFT and Touhou cosplay gathering, I think (or was that yesterday...), but my bro and I missed both, pooh. My brother did catch that cute female onion knight though! :)

I'm not sure what went on today, but we skipped masquerade. I helped with the table again. Oh, right. I wen to try my luck at the FFT figurines, but...

I got two more Delitas. I was lucky that Ruina and Kathy both played and liked FFT, so I gave it to them. I don't have much use for three of them, so why not? U-unless it was a bother, ummm...T_T; I picked out one of the GanGan boxes for my sis to see if we could get Jean Havoc or Hiyono, but...we got another Hizumi. XD;; HEY, RUINA LIKES SPIRAL. So my sis gave it to her. |D;;;; I got to talk to Dorothy this time, too~ Kathy and Dorothy are both SOCUTE, AAAH~~~!!

Day 4
The last day. u.u Hung out at the table today. Pictochatted with Ruina a second time. ;w; My stuff didn't sell well, but it's really amusing to see people go "OH LOOK, IT'S TACTICS", so I'm totally ok with it. I was just experimenting, after all~ I hope Ruina didn't mind my dumping stuff on her. >_>;; Only person within the vicinity who I knew liked FFTactics when we were cleaning up. I saw Jamuko again though! I was planning to pay her fully for Pokemon, but she was throwing this $1 at us and refusing free things. DX (and taping it to me, what.) I asked, and I she said it was all right. >_>;; I'm not sure where that $1 went, but I hope she still has it. Dumped one of charms on her. Then I wernt under the table to hide while I attempted to stuff a Maya and Ema into her bag. |D; I was successful in the end, even though the under the table plan failed. XD; I have to ask though: did you know I was under there? I mean, I asked if you'd notice if I went down there an all. XDDD;;;

My group of friends went around alley asking for free stuff...AND BEING SUCCESSFUL. XD;; Ruina let me take a key chain for free *feels so honored @_@;*, so I took a Beyll in a high wizard from RO outfit~....one of the few times Beyll gets to wear something outside of his regular design and not look like a pretty girl in a dress. I also bought a Marth from her one of those days, I don't remember.

Then we went to eat at Aoi. The people there are the nicest people ever! They halved our food for us (my sis and I, at least). They gave free tea, and even let darkangeldani, Pompi, and myself stay even after they'd closed and the everyone else had left. They refused to let me close the door for them, too. XDD;;; We took pictures and gave our awkward goodbyes and my awkward hugs (hugging is so hard x_x;) and WE'LL MISS YOU TERRIBLY. T_T;;; *already am, umm* We should crash Otakon once and bother all of you.

And then came today. Wake up early and get ready for four hours of class. *le sigh* Totally tired. I did my best to not be awkward during those four days of Expo, but I think I failed. I tried to be more talkative and not be the negative one in the group. I'm so self conscious though. I hope I wasn't annoying or anything. I noticed I kept repeating "sorry" and "thank you" a lot. XDD;;;; Since I've never talked so much in a group, I'm surprised by how often my voice changed (I didn't know I even did that automatically...). I enjoyed being with you guys nonetheless! I missed Koro though. ;_____; I-I hope you guys had fun!

EDIT: I somehow got by without mentioning psychofish's kitties and amazing driving and Kathy's sketches! Waah, so pretty~
