London MCM Expo May 2014 ^o^ Friday!

Oh my god I swear all I write about is Expo xD 99% of my photos are selcas...I'm not sorry :3

Expo was of course wonderful as it always is! I'm still tired from it though ^-^' too many late nights this week ;n;

Okay okay so Friday I came from home as Shima! I don't think I'll ever get bored cosplaying him~ he's just so- urgh <3

I got up early so I had lots of time for camhoing

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE ONE <3

I look so glowy~

Time for a change in angle wtf
 
Compulsory goodbye picture with Haru-chan ;n; 
 
Okay so all packed after finishing my Pit cosplay the evening before and I went to get the train woo :D We planned to all meet at a certain time so I organised traveling around that BUT THEN a tree fell down on the track :c
 
The train had to stop and then the power went out so I was sitting there for an hour, bored as hell ;n;
 
So I took a picture of myself
 
Omg though I was super tired so I put my feet up on my case and tried to nap instead xD and finnalllyyy we got moving again, and they said we could have a refund, which I plan on doing, although honestly I wasn't pissed off or anything, it wasn't their fault a tree wanted to fall down in the middle of the day~ some passanger thought they'd be all smart with remarks but I'm like...shut up plz.
 
So so because it was late it went to Kings Cross instead of where it was going to go (a less main station) and since Im rubbish at knowing routes I had to try and re-work out how I was gonna get to Expo! I had no idea D; I got so far until the DLR where I was mega confused, luckily I ran into some cosplayers and went with them :'3 they were super nice!

And sooo finally I got there and had to drag my tired ass all the way around the Excel with my case and beyond to meet Tasha who came to get me ^-^
 
We stayed at super budget hotel (so sad, no kettle!) where I met Caitlin and Jack~ who was part of the hotel group with me Tasha and Rachel c:
 
Finally we go to Expo :D it was really strange how we had to go through the side to get in, but the queue was like, non-existant which was awesome!
 
Like a bee to honey I went to the cute stall first :'3 but I didn't buy anything until Sunday wtf. I can't believe this was only two weeks ago and my brain is just 'what?'
 
I think we did lots of wondering around, and sitting down. Oh oh I had the most yummy bagel I've ever had in my life for lunch, it was just simple stuff like ham, cheese and lettuce but it was so nice. I didn't even know bagels could be so good *o*
 
While we was outside I heard a 'Shima!' and then got a hug, which is where I met Beks ^-^ Who I have on Facebook and is so damn cool and an amazing cosplayer and her Rin is just *o* Although she was cosplaying from Sword Art Online~
 
JUST LOOK
 
I got the hug right, then she ran off but then came back :'3 I wasn't forgotten!
 
Had to take a selfie of course!
 
(I really hope she doesn't mind me sharing this pic but I love love love it) One of her friends had this KPP mameshiba with her (those goddamn things) and was getting cosplayers to take a picture with it and so I did <3 She was really nice too ^o^

Also while outside met this damn tall Bon cosplayer o-o I thought I was a decent height...but then D; who needed some cheering up actually which I hope I did good at!  (I'm nice, see?)
 
A stolen picture >w< but we spent a lot of time sitting up on this hill ^ ^
Wtf I don't actually have a picture of Claire D:
 
She, Tasha and Caitlin were all cosplaying frim The Regular Show which is a cartoon I've never seen, but still they looked awesome! <3 mad creative how they personified it~
 
So there is a funny story about being on this lovely hill. As you can see there is a keyboard, which is Claire's for her character. And while she was sitting there some weird Asian guy (that;s the name he ended up with) asked if she had like a back-up battery thing for it?? First thoughts 'It must be about the camera' because Caitlin's camera was running out of battery. But no, it was the keyboard.
 
Claire was like 'its from the 80's' so no. Poor girl xD after that he simply would not go away. I don't even know what he was talking about, honestly I zoned out while Tasha started taking selfies. Leaving poor Claire to suffer this weird guy talking to her :'3 ehehehe.
 
3 types of people at cons:
Super friendly people
Picky 'elitist' people
Socially inept people
 
He was actually spotted over the weekend again but luckily he didn't recognise her!...God he was just...I don't know.
 
On the hill I made friends with a pigeon that was in the bush. I swear it was my friend, it was so cute ah! Sitting there and eating stuff aw~ Tasha told it off for being noisy and scary, for rustling the leaves. How rude.


I can't remember if I took this when weird Asian guy was there or not, but it was on the hill so its relevant!

Me and Tasha ^o^ she's a gumball machine :'3

Me and Rachel...cosplaying as 'Rachel who's been at work' poor thing :<
 
Later on when me and Rachel went back inside to get her suitcase from the thing I heard a 'Steph!' and was like what? I didn't even recognise her at first cause I'd only seen her as Mikoto from K Project ><

But it was Vy-Vy ^o^ I've already forgotten what she was cosplaying from oops. But looks so cool!
I felt bad for not recognising her but then she did it to me on the Saturday so we're even~
 
I think after lots of hill sitting we went back to the hotel c: Got introduced to Yowamushi Pedal, which I now love and am gonna cosplay from. And ate pizza and played Animal Crossing til bedtime
 
Aaand I guess that concludes day 1 of Expo yo! (Why the yo? I don't know.)
