I must say, this past weekend was really the best three days I had over my break from school. Actually, it was the best three days I've had since... a long time.

There is so much to say here:

This year I did a cosplay of Cloud Strife (Advent Children outfit), and apparently I did a great job. (I even had someone mistake my real hair for a great wig)

I'll link some pictures, or maybe post them on here as scraps later, I really just want to get all the writing out of the way first.

The moment I got even close to the registration table, a man told me there was an incredible Aeris upstairs and he simply HAD to have a picture of us both. He had no idea how incredible she really was. Aeris (Jen) found me almost immediately, and since I didn't have 1 gil to spend on one of her flowers, she gave one to me instead. I ended up spending the entire weekend with her. It must have taken us more than 10 minutes to get accross the floor to the gaming room because of all the picture requests. I may as well take the time to brag here. A large degree of it could have been how awesome Jen looked as Aeris, but over the course of the three days we must have totalled nearly 150 picture requests, and surely many more were taken when we posed with Sephiroth (Pete) and participated in the Cosplay Dating game.

On top of that I had a lot of younger teenage girls introduce me to "The Cloud Song" which I didn't know existed until friday afternoon. I also must note that being simultaneously glomped by a dozen screaming girls is absolutely horrifying.

Back to the Dating Game:
It was the first time ConnCon had the cosplay dating game, and it could have been run a bit better. Aeris and I didn't exactly know what we were getting into when we agreed to participated, but the guy seemed to really want us to. The man hosting the show and his posse did an AWFUL job Timing the thing, and I ran out of scripted questions and had a pretty hard time coming up with more good questions, hopefully I nailed a couple of them. And all after that, they cut Aeris's stage time really short. = P

I really miss her. The more I got to know her, the more she fascinated me, and the more I found we had in common, and the more I resented the fact that she lives a state away. </3

I realize this has been one of my longest journals I've EVER written, and I appologize for even putting it here for you to read, but ConnCon was really amazing, and I still have more stories about it that I want to tell. So let's make this last one really short. When Aeris locks her keys in the car, Reno comes to the rescue.
