Buckle your seatbelts guys. XD And here's a VIDEO: [link]

FRIDAY

So I'm spacking in the morning because my Grandad's round and I can't leave the house quick enough to catch my train; thank God he had a car and offered to give a lift or I'd have had to have flown to London or something...8D

I met Aimee (LATE! LATE LATE MOYASHI!) at the train station where we threw ourselves onto our train and collapsed on the seats there. This particular train-ride involved the naming of a purple, earless teddy bear 'Omnom', and little else.
But fortunately we met up with and at Birmingham Moor Street, and wiggled on down to the coach station. Emi had her Havoc wig on, and Metty was in Allen minus the wig, and we had fun scaring the locals >8D I got shown some pr0n which I was NOT ready for, and my head exploded all over waiting bus-passengers, and Aimee got lost on the way to the toilet, because she is small that way.

ARRIVAL

We hit London like a mad bull, or something, and made as much noise on the coach as we possibly could till it stopped in Victoria. Then we got a BURGER KING: Where Shinigamis Eat, and waited for . Once we'd kidnapped her in her Lolita glory, we struggled with suitcases through the underground and caught the DLR to the PTI Travel Lodge...thing...where we snuck five of us into one room and four into another; sorry PTI staff! Fangirls are poor!

PARTY

The unofficial Friday night cosplay party at the PTI was epic. I love the fact the South is so warm this time of year. We spacked about, met Marly Man for the first time (although I think we talked in May O.o) and Zedela!Luxord, also met Dan the Jacket Man who was very drunk.
This was also the first instance of the Tassel Rape that Bak's poor hat endured the whole weekend (I'm looking at you, Geneliz!) as we changed into Edward and Havoc from FMA, Bak from DGM and Double!Mana.
Of course, once we were at the PTI it didn't take long for and to arrive and begin their peculiar brand of faggotry! They were glomped by a great many people, including me who was spacking over their casual 07 Ghost cosplay (because 07 Ghost is EPIC) and they were swiftly (or not) joined by and Matty, wherupon I fell into bed and died until Saturday morning.

SATURDAY

Oh God, where to start? Well, we had two Manas again, and Riza, Havoc, Ed and Hughes from FMA. We also had Genesis and LAZARD *spacks*. I appointed myslef Lazard's One True Fangirl and we spackled over to the queue after two hours of Hughes' painful beard application.

The queue went slow like, but the first hour was picture-taking of some amazing cosplays. They're all in the video (well not all...) and taking up one and a half of my memory cards...

And then we lost Lazard and Genesis, and my inner fangirl cried D8>

BUT we recovered a Byakuya and went around as FMA + Kuchiki. There were lots of stops for photos. LESSON: don't go in a group if you don't want to be stopped for photos! And Aimee was the best Ed ever. All she heard the whole day was 'wow, you're the perfect height!' XD
We juggled with a Dante, jumped several Roys as we were missing one, and then met up with everyone again at the EPIC EXPO PICNIC 2009, S4. Call out to you guys.

We stopped a Light Yagami with a 'Hug Note' and asked him if it was full. He said no, but the giant suitcase he had was full of free food and we should follow him for eatery. Mmm.
Well free food won me over, and there was a mini talent contest (which we lost with our awful Time Warp 8D) where Superman joined us, Captain Jack Sparrow laughed at us and we all got Rickrolled by a ninja. Yeah. You heard me.

And then it was over, so we spacked up to room 608 and huddled on the bed eating PIZZA. Much faggotry happened on that bed, I pity it and its scarring memories XD

SUNDAY

Sunday was D Gray Man day. We danced in the queue and laughed at Darth Vadar, who had traded in his Lightsaber for a Keyblade. Also at the Stormtroopers who were randomly bag-checking cosplayers.

Then we moved outside to the statue and waited for the DGM shoot to start. This is where I met my first LENALEEEEE~ and glomped her muchly. Sorry ! Bak had the gayest pink drink ever, and we had a giant drill (for Komui) and a tiny Komurin (for torturing Allen) made by Matty. GO MATTY <3

The shoot was filled WITH LAVIS. Seriously. Thousands. And second to them were Allens, and third were Kandas. There was one other Bak, but we had the only Krory (WIN). An Earl turned up too, and they were awesome. After the main shoot (a whole hour of it! O.o) Emily Autumn got on the statue an dplayed her violing, then we kidnapped a Lenalee and had our own mini shoot which I think turned out great 8D

Lavi's hammer EXTENDS AT WILL. He always RISES TO THE OCCASSION. XD Never mind Kanda's mighty myugeeen!

We also went to go see the Merlin girls. But certain people were too scared to queue up and talk to them alone XD

SUNDAY NIGHT

WAS EPIC, despite the fact poor Lavi got sick D8>

There was no room downstairs or in the room, so we commandered the Lift Lobby on the top floor and faggled there. Marluxia kidnapped people and bundled them into lifts with his Keyblade-Gun. He also alternatively played golf with it. XD

Pepsi was spilled and the stain named after me; it carries on our legacy in the PTI forever! I'm totally going to look for it next May. Aimee and Bloodmee wallplanted out of a lift. We all removed our wigs and just had penis-heads, and we yelled this out of the open window to the people below. A posh lady came up and said we were 'multiplying'. We laughed at her. Also, Poppy!Bakura, who's DA I do not yet have, stole Komui's coat and fell off the windowsill in it.

I wiggled back to room 608 several times to check on the invalids, Hannah was very ill with cosplay fever, and giving it to Liz, but Halloween chocolate and Frau-rape made it all better. (Sick brats are vulnerable to perverted bishops) Hakuren was dubbed ' Porn Boy!' despite the fact Bak's porn folder had been lost.

Kanda removed his hair and became sociable and funny. I know. Scary. O,o Apparently it's the manly pony-tail that makes him such a grouch. And now this is just a list of events but there is SO MUCH TO RECOUNT.

Anyway. Bed happened late, and everyone was reluctant to sleep because it would mean expo was over. It happened though, and Sunday finally ended.

MONDAY

Was depressing. T_T We hung in the lobby where I fortunately got to say goodbye to MarlyMez, Lucky, Kherrigan, Hannah, Liz, and various cosplayers I'd met but didn't know their names O.o

The queue for DLR tickets was massive. And not in the good chav way. D8> But we went round London. Took some architecture pictures for various college projects, went to London's biggest sweet shop and bought MOUNTAIN DEW. Mmm. But it exploded in my bag a day later. T_T Also FMA mints, a Hello Kitty noodle tin (No, I don't know either) and, urm...Iunno something else XD

Then we got on the train home, and danced to songs while silently miming. Krory and Byakuya singing 'Man I feel Like A Woman' is a very scary sight at night, Lavi would have a field day, and everyone on the train hated us. But we were contented.

Now though, it's back to real life. Which is starkly boring next to expo. Oh well, I'll see everyone at Midlands, yeees? YAY! Is everybody going?

Getti out!
