Friday 22nd May
So I got home about lunchtime from school because revision lessons ended early. I "tidied" my room and waited for Naruchii to turn up. When she did, we almost immediately got in to cosplay mode and were running about like headless chickens sorting our wigs, testing out bandages and generally making last day adjustments.
Later, much Singstar ensued, fuelled by Pepsi Max.
We attempted at the Queen version, but shockingly, Naru doesn't even know the song "Bohemian Rhapsody", which is practically blasphemy in my eyes, so we had to switch to Abba.
While making our "Free Hug" signs for the next day, "Dancing Queen" played five times. Five. O-o
I now know it word-perfect
I made the mistake of providing Naru with more Pepsi Max right before we went to bed.
Note to self: NEVER DO IT AGAIN.
Saturday 23rd May
It almost feels wrong to start at the very beginning when there's so much to get through. One boy asked me to write what I thought about the day in one word and mine was: Superawesomeduper. It's a word, I swear!
After a lot of continued running about, Naruko and I (donned in my Chuunin Sasuke cosplay) arrived at Jasmine's (Kisuke) and met her and Jordie; who was cosplaying Yoruichi as well as Zoe, who was a brilliant Hiyori.
We set off and uhm, got a little lost along the way (darn you DLR train reroutes), but eventually made it to the expo! Straight away, Kisuke and Yoruichi found a big group of Bleach cosplayers and stuck right in. Hilarious photos were born from that. Meanwhile, Naru and I had made some friends that we stood in the queue with!
I got to hug and possibly scare
and it was great to meet them
Jasmine also almost died when she met the person from whom she learnt to make her benihime. Aww.
The queue itself was a story and a half: so many free hugs!
We finally got into the expo and I bought... a poster ! (Yeah, I don't buy much) Jazze bought anything and everything related to Kisuke and Benihime and Jordie went crazy on Hitsugaya merchandise. Naru also got a poster and a cute Gaara plushie and... something else, though I forget.
Then we ventured back outside and it was the best time ever. There were so many hugs that we have vowed to keep a tally next time. I can't physically write everything that happened but here are a few excellent highlights (and they are not in the right order- everything was a blur of awesome!)
1- Spotting two out of the five cosplayers of Hitman Reborn that I saw all day, running at them full pelt screaming: "REBOOOOOOORRRRNNN!" and proceeding to buffet the Reborn backwards into an awkward hug.
Then turning to do the very same to the Lambo that was with Reborn. He was wearing a very petrified expression. But I loved them anyway :3
2- Seeing a character that held the sign 'free assasinations', turning away and then turning back only a few seconds later to figure out in no time at all that: A laughing Naruko + an advancing 'free assasinations' person = trouble!
I ran behind poor Yoruichi and also Naruko, screaming my head off for help. Bad Sasuke.
Then he got me so I fell to the ground. It was fun.
3- After we were worn out, we were all sat on a bench near the river and suddenly my group all proclaim: AWWWWWW.
I look down and there is a mini Sasuke cosplayer holding her arms out to me for a hug! She was adorable! My group took many pictures of us together; in which I look OVERLY happy. I was.
4- Getting a photo of a brilliant Murkuro and being glomped by a Deidara that told me it was worth dying for Sasuke.
It was over all too soon. We saw some cosplayers on the way home and even got a free hug out of Kings Cross station! Fancy that.
Later, we went into Asdas in cosplay and filmed. It was freaking hilarious.
A BIG thanks to Jazze and her mum for taking us to the expo and putting up with us all night ! :3

Awestruck
