Back from the Land of Tomorrow

Time travel certainly takes a toll. I uploaded a new Vblog and pictures from the Cosplay.com party in Shinjuku this past Friday.

Time for bed, more updates later!

I’m afraid of Americans

Well, here I am. 7:30am eating a ramen cup from the hotel vending machine here in Shinjuku. I need to be ready by 9am to go to the TFT cosplay event across from Comiket. We tried to go to Comiket yesterday, not even in costume and it was unbearable! I almost passed out in a sea of 50,000 Japanese otaku. It was pretty gross, so we cut out of there quick. Anyone who thinks they want to go to Comiket in the summer, DON’T.

I’ve been really busy eating good food and hanging out with everyone. Monday I am going to the Ghibli museum which is SUPER AWESOME EXCITING for me. I even have a couple photoshoots scheduled here before I leave. It’s so fun here, but I’m always ready to get back to Rob. And back to the American airports where they can, yet again, treat me like I’m 10 years old. LOL.

I should have some more interesting updates once I get back and return to normalcy. Ja!

Sorry Mr.Spade!

I just had to turn down filming with David Spade because my trip for Atlanta is already booked. :( I wish I could go! Sorry Mr.Spade! Look me up when you are in Vegas, we’ll hang out.

I don’t have the patience to keep it on the up.

Well, I’m recovering from Otakon today. I’ve slept a lot, but not enough yet. Thanks to everyone who came up to the booth to say hi. I was trapped back there with no means of escape! And thanks to Dorian for helping out so I could do things like pee and send you for Mt. Dew. I leave bright and early for Japan on Wednesday, so I must get back to recovering from this weekend. I leave you with cell phone pics from the booth. Later guys!

Otakon Day Zero

Well, this weekend isn’t starting perfectly. I forgot my ID and Credit Card at home in Rob’s gym bag from going to the gym the other day. Luckily, Rob is the best boyfriend in the universe and managed to drive home, grab them, and come back leaving me 10 minutes to spare for boarding the plane.

I was hoping the hotel might have a gym as to not mess up my routine too much, but I think lugging two 50lb bags around the Baltimore Convention Center equals at least a couple hours at the gym, if not more.

Otakon marks 10 years of conventions and cosplay for me. I can’t say it’s all been rainbows and sunshine, but it lead me to where I am today and that makes it all worth it.

Oh, and within an hour of being at the airport today, I was asked 3 separate times how old I was by the airport staff. They kept assuming I was a minor. LOL.
