Well, it's tomorrow 
I'll only be there on the Saturday though, as Gumi from Vocaloid (Setsuna Trip version). I'm a little disappointed because none of my friends are going but it should still be fun hopefully c:

I'm a little disappointed because none of my friends are going but it should still be fun hopefully c:I'll be at the dance meet as always, which I believe is at 3 at the back of the ExCel Centre. I also have a big long list of dance performances I might watch :V
Plus I'm performing myself! We're having a J-pop and K-pop dance panel this time and I'm dancing in it with another girl. It's at 4 on the JapanEX stage so swing by if you want ~
And, that's about it really. If you're going too then come say hi if you want ^^

Post-Manchester Comic Con 2013

I'm back from the Expo now! My whole body is killing me from all the dancing and walking around and I think I may have caught a cold but it was worth it.
So the day began at around 6am. Before the train came my mom and I went into McDonald's and there were these two guys there who kept asking us questions and saying the strangest things but anyway, after we'd eaten we left and made our way to the train station. When we got on the train I pretty much just spent the time going over my performance for the masquerade in my head and spotting other cosplayers that got on the train.
When we arrived in Manchester we asked some cosplayers for directions and we found the place pretty easily. Luckily we pre-booked tickets this time so we got inside quite quickly. I heard people passing me in the queue saying things like, "Oh my God! She's from Glee!" which made me smile.
When we got inside we looked around the dealers' room for a bit then I went to confirm my place in the masquerade. I saw gasgirl345 there too. There was a problem with my music - the song I was using was 3:30 but for some reason it was showing up as over 18:00 on the computer so that stressed me out a bit but we managed to fix it in the end.
After that we went outside and sat around for a bit. 333hf333 eventually text me, telling me that she was inside the Expo now so I went to meet her. It took us awhile but we eventually found each other and she ran up to me and gave me a big hug >w<
My mom then left us and we walked around the dealers' room a bit. I ran into some of the other YouTube dancers and said hi to them and took a photo of a Kurusu Syo cosplayer. After some more aimless walking around we went back outside.
The dance meet started soon after at the top of the stairs but then we moved and joined some other dancers who were doing PONPONPON at the bottom of the stairs. The dance meet seemed to be mostly K-pop orientated this time and I don't know any K-pop dances so I only ended up joining in with Cirno's Perfect Math Class, Love & Joy, FirstKiss! and Happy Synthesizer. When we weren't dancing Helen and I were taking stupid seflies. It was still nice to hang out with the other dancers and we got quite an audience for some of the dances we did, haha.
A Nanase Haruka cosplayer appeared at one point and anyone who knows me knows how much I love Haruka ~_^ I got really shy for some reason though so I had to get Helen to ask him for a photo for me. Gahh selective mutism. But at least I was able to say thankyou to him afterwards. Then someone came up to me and told me that they were obsessed with Glee and asked me for a photo which made me happy ^^
After FirstKiss! which was the last dance I did someone else came up to me and told me they loved my cosplay We were just hanging around for a bit after that and someone ran up to the Haruka cosplayer and proposed to him and Helen yelled, "NO, HE'S SOU'S!" which is probably my favourite thing that happened that day.

I had something to eat then Helen and I went off again. I bought a Len plushie and I was considering buying a Rin T-shit but I didn't in the end. While we were looking around the stalls I heard some girl saying mean things about my costume right in front of me which kind of annoyed me but straight after someone else came up to me and told me they loved it which made up for it.
After taking some more photos and looking around we then made our way backstage for the masquerade. Helen had to go but I sat with the girls from Berry Pop Project, the Otaku Owls, Emmma360 and a girl called Lauren. They all practiced the dances they were doing and Abbie (Owls) let me borrow her speakers so I could practice mine. All of the dancers were all really friendly and nice to me, I hate being so shy ><
When I had signed up I hadn't been aware that there'd be 61 people entering so I'd requested to be near the end. Waiting in the queue to go on was annoying but being right after Berry Pop Project kind of worked out in the end. I didn't win - Lauren did - but when I heard her singing I knew she was going to win anyway.
So after the masquerade ended I told Berry Pop Project that they'd done really well performing then went off to quickly buy a Len key ring from the Tokyo Toys stall. Then we left. Unfortunately our train was delayed due to an accident but we arrived home safely c:
And that's it. I'll upload photos later and I'll have videos of the dance meet and my performance on YouTube soon.

Post-London Expo May 2013

Well, I'm finally getting round to doing my traditional Expo write-up nearly a week after it happened .__. I'll hopefully upload photos later.
So I just went on the Saturday. I had originally planned to cosplay Kikuchi Makoto (Rough Time School) from The iDOLMster but my cosplay hadn't even been shipped yet by the time Expo rolled around (it still hasn't .__.) so I spent the entire day before making a Matsushima Sou (Real Sexy!) costume. It wasn't perfect but it was okay for a last minute cosplay.
So let's start with the queuing. Anyone who was there would know that the queuing was terrible this year. One of the people working there told us that it was because a lot of people had bought early entry tickets this year so they had to let them in before us. We were in the queue for over two hours.
When we finally got out of the queuing area I went outside to meet Hayley (XxKawaiiHaysxX on YouTube) and watch Milae3's performance. I'm not too into K-pop but their performance was really good. After the performance we went back inside to meet Nehmain. We then went inside the actual Expo but we ended up losing Hayley and her friend as soon as we got in ><
After a lot of walking around and looking at things it was time for the dance meet. I couldn't find it at first but I ended up bumping into xanimeXabbiex who was looking for it too and we found it together. The dance meet was pretty fun. Most of the dances we did I didn't know fully and I ended up dropping my iPod at one point and when I went to pick it up some girl accidentally stepped on my hand. But apart from that it was great. I got to talk to some other dancers briefly and got some photos of cosplayers.
I think I was considerably less awkward this Expo when asking cosplayers for photos and just talking to people in general. There were these two Vocaloid cosplayers who I was pretty awkward with for some reason, I don't even know why. But aside from that, yay me~ Also some girl came up to me at one point and said she knew me from Facebook and said I was awesome which I was pleasantly surprised about! I don't remember what she said her name was though.
So the rest of this Expo was just spent looking around and taking photos of cosplayers. I had some pretty funny reactions to the fact that it said "Sexy Zone" on my back which I should have anticipated really, haha. Some girl put an arm around me and said "Room for one more?" and someone else tried to take a photo of it while I wasn't looking.
Also I finally got my Len body pillow I kinda wish I'd bought more at this Expo because I actually had money this time due to it being my birthday recently but I am fine with my new boyfriend (the pillow). My family keep beating him up though :c
I also found out after the Expo that AnbaLen was there D: It's not like I'd have actually been able to recognize her due to the fact that I don't actually know what she looks like but omg *fangirls*
