I'm back~! Got back late last night actually, Yami's parents would let me move in with them. XD I had a great time, though I do sorta wish it had been longer, and that a couple of things had happened a little differently. But I'll get to those in cronological order, shall I?
Well, I left my town around 7 in the morning, catching a bus which took me on a 2 hour or so trip to another town, then catching a train for another 2 hour or so trip to Sydney. Then the fun stuff happened, and I went shopping~ XD I only had a couple of hours in Sydney, but I managed to get myself some (import) copies of
Yami no Matsuei,
King of Bandit Jing,
Weiss Kreuz and the first half of
Saiyuki. I also picked up my sister's birthday present, the first volume of the
Yami no Matsuei manga,
DNAngel volume 1 and the first of the
Sandman series (not sure if I like it though). It sounds like an awful lot, but I really didn't spend that much (maybe because imports are so much cheaper than the normal ones... even though the often contain the exact same things)
Then I spent the night with my grandparentals in Sydney, and prepard for the planetrip the next day. BUT!! (scary, ne?) I had cut my finger and toes a little in Sydney. Yeah, I know it doesn't sound that bad, and I didn't think it was either, cept my grandparentals gave me some bandaids to put on them.
Keskes no longer needs skin tests for her allergies, because she reacted quite badly to the bandaids. -_-;; One of the things I wish hadn't happened on my trip. Oh well...
The plane trip to Brisbane was horrendous. I hated it. Firstly, the travel agents who had booked the tickets booked the first one on an International flight, and had failed to tell Kes that she
couldn't board the plane without proof of ID!!! -_-;; I very nearly didn't get to Brisbane at all. Still, one of the ladies working tehre got me a ticket on a different flight (which also happened to be earlier) without any difficulties. There was talk from other people that Keskes would have to purchase another ticket, but thankfully that didn't happen. (I was upset enough as it was)
So Keskes arrived at the airport a little under an hour ahead of the time she was meant to, and at a different airport altogether. Luckily she had been given her super-duper mobilephone, and used it to call her Yami's house.
*laughs* Im not sure what Yami must have thought, having the phone ring and hearing me on the end saying 'Hi I'm in Brisbane now, at Domesetic, could you come pick me up?' XD Still, about 30-40 minutes later (during which I read a bit, then fretted that they wouldn't be able to find me in the mass of people) and Keskes and her Yami finally got to meet face to face!
I'm not sure what she was expecting to happen, I had this kind of moment of reaisation, much latching and talking and such, but I think it went more like seeing each other, pausing for a moment to see if that really was her, a couple of "hi's" and fighting our way back outside. ^^
Much more verbal bonding and Alucard hat-molesting occurded on the trip back though. ^o^
Spent the night looking through the CD I made Yami, music videos, images and manga, and showing her how to setup and run Angel's Feather on her computer. Bonus? I had no idea Yami knew that much Japanese (which might not be a lot to some, but is more that I know), so I was able to figure out even more of what the people were saying in the game! XD
Then~ we had the con the next day! I was Alucard with my Seras (no I did not find it amusing to be called 'Master' by my Yami... << >>) and I... didn't take nearly as many photos as I thought I would. Why? Because every fangirl/boy and their plushie was taking photos of us! XD XD
I'd have probably had more fun if I wasn't dying from heat exhastion, but it was pretty good. We sat down at one point in the garden so I could try and cool down a bit, and everyone walking past wanted a photo (or three) of us. ^^;; The moment I'd sit down, take off the gloves, hat, coat and glasses so that I could cool off, and someone would wan a photo, so I'd have to put it all back on. XP
I kinda wished I'd gotten more photos though, even if they were just of Seras wearing my coat after stealing, or my hat after stealing that. Or Alucard doing the Cancan, but we won't go there....
I also scored myself a ...Tsukasa plushie!! And it's sooo cute! ^^ He's living on my bed at the moment, though I sometimes have to steal him back from my mother... XD I also got
Petshop of Horrors part the first, and I love it, and
Eerie Queerie part four.
The second day was better in some ways, and not in others, worst part being that my artwork and the original sketch went missing. I have a feeling that someone took it when I set it down at the artbook stall, seeing as it's the only time I remember putting everything down to look at the lovely books. I upset me a fair bit, becuase while the peiced was printed out, the sketch was the original, and I can't redo that. Fortunatly I had the coloured version and a scan of the sketch on the computer, so I haven't lost it entirely.
I also spent ages on this, roughly a day and a bit, from setching to finished, and you can see the finished work
here. I didn't win anything, but the judge said I came really close.
OH! Before I forgt, I'm not sure which night it was on, but I have supplied my Yami-chan with a PS2, and a copy of Kingdom Hearts and a memory card. Now you can all blame me for her rants about barrels and three-headed dogs... XD XD XD
I was in deed dragged to see the Yugioh movie on Monday, and we poked much fun at it's not-very-pretty animation, not-very-good dubbing and totally-screwed-up dueling. Kaiba took at least three turns at once, last I counted, and Yami took a few more moves than he should have too. See kids? It's OK to cheat in games if you do it for the Heart of the Bloody Cards! :D
I also made dinner that night, then after dinner discovered that my toes which had been exposed to the bandaids could no longer function properly. I don't really like to say this, but then, no one heard me at the time... but I sat down and had a bloody good cry. Then I asked Yami if her father could help me start treating the darn things, and if we could see a doctor the next day.
So~ my last day with my Yami was spent lounging. ^^ I actually didn't mind, it was nice to just sit and talk about Sanzo, Goku, Hakkai and Gojyo, and the possible realtionships... Earning it the catchphrase "Their love is so stack-able!!" We aso watched the dub of
King of Bandit Jing, and spent time yelling "Gimme a Kir Royale!!!!" at random moments...
All in all, I had the best time ever, I didn't want to go, and I already miss spending time with Yami (making sure she eats properly and such. XD) And I really hope we can catch up again at some point in time. <3 <3 <3 <3 And maybe I can meet 'Lia at some point! ^^
Hmmmm~ reminds me...
Yami-mine? Do remember to tell 'Lia, no layout for Kes, no Angel's Feather for 'Lia. XD XD I can be ebil too...
I do wish I'd gotten more phots though, and some nice ones of my Yami. We also forgot to make a tape of our random conversations. *pout*
