Ok, so this is about a month late, but better late than never, n'est-ce pas? So anyway, Fanime this year was AMAZING! I'll describe each of the days in detail.
Friday May 22nd: Immediately after getting out of school for Memorial Day weekend, my dad drives me and my mom to the airport so we can board our flight. While I was at the airport, waiting for my mom to catch up with me (I walk fast) this creepy older guy had the nerve to ask if he could buy me a drink. I, of course, denied but I now have a bit of a fear of creepy guys at airports (or anywhere for that matter.) Anyway, we boarded our plane (direct flight, yay!) and finally landed in San Jose, CA. After getting our luggage much faster than we had in 2008, we got a taxi to take us to the Marriot San Jose where we would be staying for the weekend. Once in the lobby, I met up with Morgan and Liz before running upstairs to my room so I could change into my Amu cosplay (Morgan and Liz were already in Shana and Shinku cosplays respectively) We went out to dinner and then changed into our PJs before piling into Morgan and Liz's room for bedtime (Morgan's nan was in the room with us while my mom was in the other room.)
Saturday May 23rd: We woke up and changed into our Rozen Maiden cosplays (Me: souseiseki, Morgan: suiseiseki, and Liz: Shinku) We went to Pizza my Heart for our friend Bento's birthday (yay, free lunch! con food is EXPENSIVE) and afterwards went to the Rozen Maiden gathering organized by Morgan. The gathering was fun, we had 1 souseiseki, 3 suiseisekis, 1 hinaichigo, 2 shinku's, and 4 suigintous (one of which was the "male version") After countless photos it was starting to get hot, so me and morgan decided to change (me into Amu, morgan into Toph). We hung around doing random this and that for the rest of the day before going back to Morgan's room to sleep.
Sunday May 24th: Once again we woke up and changed, this time it was me as Amu, Morgan as Toph and Liz as Shinku. In the lobby of the hotel, there was a NEWS gathering which I of course joined. Afterwords, we walked around until it was time for Morgan to go to the Avatar gathering she had organized. While she was there, me and liz met up with my friend bianca and two of her friends and we all decided to [s]stalk[/s] indiscreetly follow someone who was cosplayed as Ikuto from Shugo Chara. After a while, we all went up to our rooms to change for the Black and White Ball. After arriving at the Ball, we met a bunch of really cool people that we pretty much spent the whole night talking to (whenever we weren't being asked to dance, of course) After the ball, me and two of the girls went off to the bathroom and Morgan and Liz went to their room so I had no idea where they were (aka, I was ditched) It was a pretty tense night, needless to say. I slept in the room with my mom that night.
Monday May 25th: I woke up and went to the lobby to hang out with Morgan and Liz before I had to leave. Then it was off to the airport to fly back home after an amazing weekend at Fanime 2009 :)
