Thursday:
-Got up at 3.30 Off to catch my 6am flight.
-Had nothing to do in Melbourne with my sizable box so sat in the airport for an hour, then went to catch the skybus, found Gene-chan and talked to her.   Got separated at the bus station.  Waited there for hotel transfer,  saw people with a funny hat and a box and had a guess where they might be going.   They were also staying at Urban Central and asked what was in the box. *usual joyful other con-goers greeting*  Stored our stuff and then they asked if I wanted to join them for lunch.  Met some other people too for pancakes and shopping.  Tram broke on the way back, so we walked.   
The two boys were also going to Amaranth and invited me to come with them to get ready at Aly and K's house.  Caught the tram+train in my wedding dress, one of the guys had a white suit and the other a large box, so we got a fair amount of attention.  caught a Maxi cab with other random people, as none of the people I had met were ready yet. 
I was sitting at a random table (obviously, I did registered by myself)  talked to other people on my table and the table of people I had met earlier.  Hard to dance in said dress, broke beads everytime I stepped on it. 
Couldn't find anyone I'd met when it came time to go, spoke to some girls who were on my table and they offered to give me a ride back.  Bed at 1 or 2am I can't remember.

Friday:
My room was so cold and the bed was icky so I couldn't sleep got up at 4am and showered, went downstairs to internetus and chocolate bar.  Went back up and sleep in a chair for a bit.
Sushi train breakfast  -Weird to have savory things for breakfast, I didn't like it.  talked to the loli next to me and we went to the con together with some friends of hers and a random who also got lost looking for the 57 stop.
Wandered a bit, found Adem,  thereafter could not un-find Adem.   Fruits comp, - apparently the judges were looking for orignality and other points that meant brand was a disadvantage. And I was FIRST AGAIN!  grrrr.
Caught the tram back, was lucky to get the first one with Sabina and Jem, the girls from the bus.  Told reception about the non-working heater, they said someone will look at it later.   Then went to Crown with Adem and everyone from his dorm whos names I don't know apart from Krystal and Arron.  Who were playing blackjack, which is boring so Adem showed me around, made me get food and damn he likes to talk.   Then played laser zone, met up with the guy selling Kiseki and he joined us.  Asked about the heater again and got this in reply "Well no, it's not just going to start working all of a sudden, it has to be replaced."   excuse me?  wtf is your problem, I know that THAT IS WHY I TOLD YOU BITCH!  so you can fix it or give me a new room!  She handed me a personal heater and proceeded to tell me like I was 5 not to cover it or leave it on when no one was around.   Bed at 2am.

Saturday: 
Up at 5am wasting time.  Went to the other Adelaidians hostel as Adem said he'd show me some cool shops.  Why do guys take longer than girls to get ready, seriously?  and he made me straighten his hair.   ggrrrrr.
Got to try a Harajuku crepe.   Finally got to the con at 2.30pm, which I was pissed about, as I'd missed most of the Yuri panel, and I'd said I would be there, and may have even been able to get on it!   
Adem asked if I wanted to go out again, I said no and walked back to the hostel.  My tiredness had prgressed past the drunken tired I had been the day before and now I was pissed off tired.  I also hadn't eaten anything cept that crepe all day,  Wasn't going to have tea but there was a BP on the corner so I got a cinnamon scroll. Watched Kate and Leopold. Bed at 10pm
 

Sunday: 
Up at 5.30am getting ready for cosplay. took ages to do my part.  was running a little late, doing a final check -realised I'd forgotten the plait.  and I quote "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck"    quickly did the plait.  Adem messaged me and asked if I wanted to go together again, I laughed, dipshit why would I want to do that? and wrote "I'm going straight there."  Just got to the tram. realised suddenly I didn't know if she has black lipstick with that outfit. I'd been feeling anxious all weekend, but I felt pretty bad now, my stomach was really tight and now I was panicking.  went to find sign-in,  no one knew what that was. found technical judging and asked them, they told me there was none.   (wtf, why send me an email telling me I need to sign in, if there isnt a sign in?)   they brought up a photo too, so I knew I had to find black lipstick.  caught the tram back to newmarket, no luck, -best I could do was eyeliner pencil.   just about collapsed in the supermarket from the pain in my back and stomach, grabbed some panadol while I was there,  was not with it enough to get something to eat or drink.  By now, My brain was mush and I couldn't remember anything.  was trying not to cry waiting for the tram back because I didn't want to smudge my make-up.  Mitch was on the Tram but -you know I'd like to know why he never talks to me.  meh.    Got back, hunted for someone with black lipstick, couldnt catch one girl,   found one with purple and stole some thankfully.   Then ran into Sabina and what do you know -she has black lipstick. *sigh*  its too late now.
Went and played a game of SCIV as tradition now dictates I must do, I lost -HEY -the boy was playing Yoda!  Tira's hard enough without having to fight Yoda.  got some photos taken quickly as marshalling was starting already.  They made us wait for ages!
the greenroom was outside in a mini marquee, *eyeroll* the had a curtain fall down, so no more people were aloud inside till it was fixed. once in it was squishy and uncomfortable.  I needed to practice my hula hooping to know if it would pull my clothing off. but they wouldnt let us out near the curtain for fear it would fall down again. I asked a guy (one of the hosts) when he came over was there somewhere I could, and he cleared people away. So now everyone is looking at me....    anyway, it didnt unclothe me.  The host was actually the guy who was in the cab on Thursday, and a SC fan.
happy to not be first, I got up and when I asked to hula, he went to take the mic away and I was meant to say a quote, but couldnt remember it,  then I only got to "Stand back you fool, or I'll...................   fuck......  "Or I'll cut your heart out."     ok, that was bad.   but everyone loved that I could hula hoop it, and later a few people praised that I must have had to get the weight perfectly balanced to be able to do that.  .....well no.  you can hula with something unbalanced, it just wont be as easy.
By now I was shaking and really needed a drink, but I didn't have anywhere to leave my stuff. and there were rumours you wouldn't be aloud back in. 
After the comp, I was still debating what to do, and was about to leave my stuff behind the stage when Adem and Laura came up to me.  Laura gave me a bottle of water,  I was very grateful!   and then we took some photos, and watched AMV iron editor, which is boring and why is it taking up valuable main event theatre time????   then went outside for more photos in the dark.   came back in mid-closing ceremony and people were talling me I'd won something, I ran off backstage, and asked people, and they told me not to go on stage, and to wait there,  what?  as if we don't get to go up to collect our prize!  stupid Melbourne.   waited for ages...    Got my medal and another $50 madman voucher I have no use for.   Other cosplayers were talking about after party plans.  9pm at  Melbourne central.  Sabina offered to share a cab, But I couldnt with my blade. so tram it was, a bunch of people came up and yelled "theres been an accident, no trams are coming, WERE WALKING TO NEWMARKET!"    seriously doubting I would make it make 9pm, we started to walk, near newmarket a tram came.  WTF!     at Elizabeth st,   11minutes till the next 112,  So I started to walk, I walked to whole way back.  no trams came.    got there got changed, locked my keycard out, took the slowest elevators in the world to the reception where I was told "you'll have to wait till the other girl comes back, it'll be 20minutes"   "NO!  I have to meet people!"   "Well you'll have to buy another card and I'll give you the money back when you return the card"   "MY WALLET IS IN MY ROOM!!"     "Oh, well do you have anything you can leave?"  Bye bye phone.    -It rings as I get in the elevator.  meh, I know its only Adem.    ran to crown for a cab.  got to MC about 9.20pm.  no one was there.    then some people came back in, They were going elsewhere, but Adem came and said the others went to get food.  -Then we couldnt find them.   ggrrrrrr.   Then we ran into a bunch of fellow con-goers, and had tea with them, they turned out to be most of the AICON committee.   Then Karaoke.   No trams that late at night, walked all the way back to the hostel...... Wishing Adem would go away....  quit stalking me.
Packed my things, Bed at 2am.

Monday:
Up at 5.30am walking to the skybus terminal with my big box, as no trams came in that time.   the wind THE FUCKING WIND!    all weekend it caused havock, not so much as walking that morning, got to a corner and the wind blew the box off my case I dropped all my bags, holding on to the box with BOTH hands it was horizontal!  -that box wasnt light, it had my blade and the wedding dress in it. and it was sideways! I couldnt believe it!    I also couldn't stop it, I couldn't pull it down.  I started wimpering and though "I'm just going to be stuck like this forever, till I eventually loose my grip and the box goes flying off onto the road."  inch by inch I turned around and pulled th box in more so it smashed into me, pressed against me. preventing it from flying off. grabbed my stuff and shuffled off slowly.  Then a man in a truck laughed at me!  Nearing the station a lady helped me.    I just missed the 15past bus,   got the next, and when I got to the airport they were already calling my flight to the front.  all flights above it were boarding or closed.  Falling asleep on the plane.....    got home walking up the ramp, grandma came to greet me, and told me how tired I looked.  Mum had realised that grandma wouldnt be able to get me in her car, (need a stationwagon for the big box) so she'd driven mine, So I drove back home.   and was meant to be getting material that day......was never going to happen.   Still feel like shit.

 Sorry for typos, can't be bothered proofing it correctly.

But the epic cosplayness must continue, and so on still worked Ayane-chan. Slaving over roses and lace, in a gothic frilled fantasy.  Rapier sanding will be done in the fair lunchtime of Monday afternoon.

Though, on, on, must she continue. Ring blade to be coated,  "oh why do you curse me, oh spikey spikey ring of death?!" she wailed mornfully,  before returning to her masking tape.   Hurry, hurry, for there is much to a do.  Golden strappy undergarments await and not a lo of other clothing...

Then, wait!  suddenly the forgotten con on the horrizon was a lot closer than first thought,  now awash with sorrow, -for what was our heroine to do?  -Should she let it pass, or struggle once more to create another cursed cosplay?......

Some of the ink they use at work really smells weird, -They supposedly use naturally derived ink, made from soy and charcol and other odd things.   but sometimes you sniff and go "What the flying cake is that?"  just some of the smells I've noticed are;

Burnt toast  -as yucky as the burnt part is, -it still makes you hungry.
Honeycomb -great if you like that, -I dont, again it smells kinda burnt -If you've ever made honeycomb -you'll know the smell I mean.
Burnt oil/chemical  -This is horrid,  the burning is probably my nose hair.  -gives you headache and makes you want to hurl.
Paint -enough said

I swear there was another funny one.   I can't remember.
 

It's easier if you move the pallet so you dont have to go back and forth so much.   

(your telling me im wasting time.)

It saves you from walking .....................................and you get the job done quicker.  

(See I was right.)

So you still taking Tuesday off?

(You think I should work Tuesdays, eh?)  "Yes"

For your i c e s k

"Ice skating, Yes."

Ah.... good......n...yeah....mmmm......        .......  .....

(yeah piss off,)

"Im after a tool..."
 

Contents of my head:   "oh  -Im pretty sure theres some pretty big ones over there."

"actually it might be harder NOT to find a tool."

I'm here!

Why can nothing to do with a computer ever work for me?  -I always have to go get something extra to make it work!   I hate this comp and it hates me, it alway fucks up, and a new harddrive didn't stop it -it was exactly the same, now the disk drive is doing something odd, yet its only a few months old. -and I can't connect my xbox360 to the internet -why?- i have no fucking idea, but it's pissing me off to hell, because, it looks like i'll have to buy a router to hook up to it -and I dont even know if that would fix it, and if it didnt -i have no other use for a stupid router!!!  -and why should i have to buy one anyway?!!  -The box itself was way overpriced for just a game console, -not as bad as the PS3 -who the hell would pay that much just to play a few games?!  -Get a life!  
Today I didn't get all my shopping done, and still got a Parking fine!!!!!!!!   "park behind the uni"  the stupid uni kids say, -yeah you would think its great parking there wouldnt you, you're uni kids- you're idiots!!!!  live your life instead of wasting 5 years studying something stupid that wont even do anything towards a job!
And now because of the rain -my phone isn't working!!!  -JOLLY FUCKING EVENING THIS HAS TURNED OUT.    now I dont have an alarm for work tomorrow.  

someone tie me down because i'm literally about to kick the 360 and i've already thrown my phone at the ground.
