WOO!

I can't believe it was over so quickly!

London Expo was bloody amazing. It was so worth all the months of stressing out to get my Yuna cosplay done and finished (I still hate pleats and always will after that skirt >_<;) I was a little nervous about going since I didn't know anyone in the hotel I was booked into but was going for it anyway.

My journey up was slightly eventful but nothing too chaotic, I set off at 11:30 to catch the 12.00 train to London with my heavy bag...and a big stick XDDD Yeah, I got some funny looks while carrying the pole of Yuna's staff through the station (I made the head part detachable so I could put that in my bag and not get it damaged (Yep, smart eh?) I got on the train and didn't give myself back strain by lugging my bag, it looked like I was trying to lug around a dead body.
I'm always paranoid that I'll not pay attention and miss my stop after one time I fell asleep and ended up 60 miles away from where I was SUPPOSED to be.

So yeah. You can imagine I was pretty alert. Then got off at Tonbridge and had to lug my bag and stick across 3 platforms and wait for the train to London Bridge. Not much happened until I got on the underground, nearly fell over on the escalator and hit some chinese dude in the face with my stick after I lost balance...oops. I apolgised and ran to get my tube.

By then my shoulders were killing me anyway and I was just looking forward to dumping my bag. Some people sent me to the wrong hotel and I ended up walking back across the river to the PTI, I knew I was in the right place when I was checking in...there were people having a sword fight in the lobby.

Checked in and hung up my Yuna cosplay (Still had to tacking thread in the pleats so they would stay in place) Then after bouncing on the bed (Hotel tradition, it has to be done.) I went back downstairs...and got adopted by Kingdom Hearts cosplayers XD

Lovely people!

From there the madness insued, we went out to get some food and ended up running around the docklands singing 'In the jungle'...I kind of started that out of being hyper, went into a chinese resturant and had to leave because some of the group couldn't pay and went back to the hotel resturant, yay for cheap pizza. We kind of had a party in the rooms (morse code lol) until about 1am until attempting to go to bed (I was up until 3am taking tacking thread out of my skirt and having to put up with people having noisy sex above me.

Ah well, then Jaks-Kingdom-Dwarf decided it would be a good idea to wake me up after having only 3 hours sleep to tell me she was watching tellytubbies....I got up and had a shower, got into Yuna cosplay and waited for the others to stop faffing around but went without them in the end. (Sorry guys, you were SLOW) Then met up with Rich (The Tidus with me in the pictures) and his group who were also awesome! And spent the day with them (Rich and I were getting stopped every few minutes for photos because they spazzed over a Tidus and Yuna walking around together XD).

I had a great time! Hit Rich with my staff numerous times, some by accident, other times because he was annoying me.
Ash's staff was a lethal weapon, mine was tame in comparison. After they left,I tried to go back in to meet up with the others, no such luck. I got kidnapped by Japanese people LOL, then got fangirled over by another group. It was roughly ten minutes before I could get back inside to get the DLR back with the others.

I went downstairs to play twister in the wind...later some stuff happened that I'm not going to go into heheehehe.

Got dressed again the next morning and more randomness ensued, Had the FF photoshoot and got stung by goddamn wasp but Rich killed it for me though. We went to see the masquerade (I really don't know why I bother, I was asleep on Rich's shoulder throughout half of it, people were awwwing because Yuna was sleeping on Tidus) but I was shattered, I'd had 3 hours sleep over a 2 day period, I had right to be shattered. Got changed at rich's hotel and fell down between two beds...yeah, impressive!

Got Taxi to station as am Lazy and still missed my train, i got there and it went, I stood on the platform swearing infront of a bunch of old dears and didn't get home until Midnight but oh well.

EXPO RAWKS AND I'M GOING AGAIN IN MAY.

Planning cosplays.
