Con-G: Part One!

Hello my freaky darlings and welcome to the first half of my two part Con-G cover!

Part 1 will be focusing more on specific pros and cons of the con while part 2 will be a  basic rundown of what happened while I was there!

BTW  just in case you don't know, Con-G is a 3 day convention in Guelph, Ontario that focuses on Anime

Who did you cosplay as?: Fiona from 'Adventure Time' and a girl in a poofy dress.

How many days did you attend for?: All 3 days

Most memorable event/moment:
Attending Geek Speed Dating (more details in part 2)

Most unexpected event/moment: Actually meeting a great guy at said speed dating

Most awkward event/moment: Seeing people I know but being unable to stop and chat with them

How much money did you spend?: I think 100 dollars

Best cosplay you saw: A chubby Asian guy dressed as PSY

How many pictures did you take?: Only around 20

Least favorite event/moment:Throwing up after I got home on Day 2 (not really con related)

How far did you travel in order to attend the con?:
From Cambridge to Guelph which is only around

How sad/happy were you when the con ended?: I actually felt just fine
Demon Dalek!

What variety of food did you eat over the weekend?: A hot dog on Friday, a protein shake on Saturday morning, Chinese food Saturday night and for breakfast on Sunday (SHUT UP!) and a nommy doughnut.

What did you buy?: 2 Necklaces, a new wig for my Stocking cosplay, a Wallet (which I desperately needed), a pair of earrings,

Things you won't miss: Almost getting run over my Daleks

And finally, what did you do when you got home from the convention?:
Had a shower and started blogging!

Con-G Cons: 

  • The new space feels smaller than the last years, despite being larger
  • The large green Dalek, though awesome, took up way too much space while going through the halls
  • There wasn't enough outside locations for food
  • Not a lot of dealers in the Dealers Room
  • Not enough photoshoot locations
Con-G Pros:
  • Really well organized panels!
  • A lot cheaper than most cons - $30 versus the $60 for Anime North
  • A truly great first con for young con goers due to its simple layout
  • Probably the friendliest con-goers
  • Great time of the year: cold weather is great for a lot of cosplays
  • Great gaming (or so I have heard)
  • Lots of seating for relaxing

I am officially 21!

Hello my freaky darlings!

So I have just turned the big two one! That's right yesterday was my 21st birthday and I had a blast!

Now don't get me wrong I have a few great friends but I didn't spend my birthday with them, my family is just so much more important to me so I spent my day with them but anywho...on to the day!

One of the best parts of the day for me was waking up and seeing that we had gotten a real pile of snow overnight!
This was a huge deal for me as the last few years for my birthday it has been either rainy or just plain bleah outside!

Oh and btw, I actually have an outfit picture! It's my first one so please forgive the quality!
 Hmmm...I think I need to clean that mirror though...

Anyway we headed out once we were all ready and went to our fave breakfast place, Cora's for delicious noms!

Sooooo goood! Not surprisingly I don't take calories too seriously...I love my body and that's good enough for me!

After breakfast we headed for a Curry's (which is an art store) so my sister could use her gift card from Christmas. Then we went to Chapters and EB Games, no I didn't buy anything.

At four we headed to my Dad's (though my parents are divorced they still get along really well so my Mom came to!) and this was the sight I was greeted to! My Dad is such a mush pie! He almost started crying when he saw me!

Dinner was my Dad's homemade burgers and french fries so everybody was super happy (which makes me happy) and we watched 'Despicable Me'.

No you are probably wondering, what did the birthday girl get as far as pressies?

I got prepaid Master Cards so I can go Internet shopping (squee!)

I also got more Funko POP's including a Sandor Clegane (aka the Hound), a White Walker (who glows in the dark), Gollum, a Darth Maul and a new skirt!

My absolute favorite gift though was the picture my sister drew for me! It's an entire page filled with chibi me's in different outfits for different series including a Team Fortress 2 me, a Pokemon me and a One Piece me!

(I promise to post pics of it once I hang it up on my wall!)

So yeah, overall it was an AWESOME birthday!

〜(^∇^〜)Oh and just to add to the birthday happiness - my Pokemon Black and White 2 game wished me happy birthday!(〜^∇^)〜

That was AWESOME!

Merry Belated Christmas!

Happy belated Christmas my freaky darlings!

I hope everybody had an awesome Christmas

December 23rd
My Christmas chaos officially started December 23rd when we went to see my Aunt, Uncle and 2 older cousins in Toronto!

We had so much fun! There was even carolers! Freakin' carolers! 〜(^∇^〜)(〜^∇^)〜

December 24th
Ah Christmas Eve! We spent the first half of the day waking up at my Dad's and eating bacon and eggs (my Dad is an awesome cook btw)!

Later on in the day we headed back to my Mom's for family torture, aka old people! Old people everywhere!

December 25th
My sister actually let me sleep in on Christmas morning! Amazing eh? We woke up around 7:35 (yes that's late for us) and had a unwrapping bonanza!

Ultimately I got:
Tragically my costume did not come in in time (nor did my sisters) but if that's my only problem than that's the least of my worries.

So all in all I was a most happy little gothaberry this fine holiday season!

So about you all, what did you lovelies get for Christmas?

BTW I promise to add pictures of what I wore to this post once I figured out
