in a trail of fire

Now that I'm not so sleepy that I want to just curl up under my bed covers for another ten hours, I will talk about London Expo shenanigans. Headed to sascharin's (who is a girl) house Friday evening with Bev, arrived at Marylebone and couldn't see anyone :| So I sent a text to cockpuppet asking if the others were at Michael's already. She sent back a text saying, "No, we're in Canada." And then she took me seriously when I JOKINGLY SAID, after we found them, that I had been worried they actually were. B|

So, anyway, along with Tyr (who is a guy) and manga_ghost, the lot of us headed to Michael's and it quickly became apparent that everyone was just as awesome IRL as they are online, which was very reassuring because I'd been scared of not getting on with them or something silly like that. But no, I think we got on all right, and much pizza was had by all. Went to bed late after morlena arrived and we played some MGS2 (I think it was Friday that we played MGS2...), since we wanted to show Fel the ending. I had to do the bit with the 'oh shit ridiculous number of Metal Gears' because Miri got chaingunned in the face a lot. Also, I discovered that Sprite tastes kinda nice.

( Cut for continued rambling. )

I aaaaam feeling a lot better today, possibly because I... didn't go to school after waking up with a splitting headache and thinking "lol fuck this". Said headache has abated somewhat. Check plurk to find some glorious lulz and then spent some time browsing through albums I found with pictures from the last Expo I was at. I took some and retouched them a little, like this one. My dA username is Larea, add me if you've got an account or anything!

Not a great deal going on lately. Right now I kinda want my sister to get out of the goddamn bathroom so I can do my hair.

Have I mentioned that I've started watching Durarara!! and that I love it? Because I do.

Okay so we went to the London Expo yesterday and it was completely and utterly insane. As you probably know, dantes_girland I cosplayed as Trish and Lady respectively. I've some pics but I'm only putting the ones of me up at the moment because I'm nice like that. (Me, nice? Suuuure.)

I've kind of forgotten the main details. We went in and out, spending most time outside where it was cooler and not as crowded. I saw the people who do Demyx Time and the Sora Show (if you like Kingdom Hearts, I strongly urge you to check them out on Youtube), cosplaying Sora and Riku. The two were 'battling' Squall Lionheart a.k.a Leon and lots of people were gathered round. Then they started having a shouting match and superstarmidgetand I joined in yelling "KINGDOM HEARTS! KINGDOM HEARTS!" Then Sora noticed me and my gun (which I've named Kally) and immediately declared, "She's on my team!" I even went and joined in. That is, until Sora broke Leon's gunblade and Leon fled down the steps. My boots kinda restriced ankle movement so I couldn't give proper chase. 

Oh and then there was the Cosplay Rave with many cosplayers dancing to random songs. There was also Musical Statues with a prize for the best pose. I failed ENTIRELY at this. I tried to do a pose and I guess I twitched and a sharp eyed guy spotted me. He did say sorry though when I picked up Kally which was very much taller than me. Oh I bought a Death Note t-shirt with a picture of Light and the word 'Kira' on it. I've exhausted my account now because really it was more of the same. It was cool though, loads of people took pictures - one person took one and then before you knew it there was a small crowed round you - and many others commented on the fact that Kally was "fucking huge!"
