happy july

aaand now it's July.

So Anime Expo has come and gone again. It...wasn't the best AX I've been to. First off, the X Games were the same weekend, in the SAME AREA. So we were basically forced to take the long way around everything to get to the convention center. We stayed at the JW Marriott for convenience and we didn't exactly get to experience it. Which means we'll just have to stay there again next year! =P

We got there kind of late on Friday. Actually, just late enough where we missed the closing time for badge pick-up. Which meant we couldn't go to the AMVs, which was one of the few things I actually wanted to do. As for my outfits, I wore my gypsy skirt with a reddish-orange tank (folded up to show some tummy), and some of those super flat sandals with white straps I found at Payless for $9! I was kind of going for a summery look with the bright top and accessories. My other outfit was a black, bodycon dress with my stripe blazer and stripe Litas. I put my hair in a high ponytail and wore red lipstick. I think it was pretty cute. Too bad I don't have a full-body shot of the whole outfit. George says that means I'll just have to wear it again and we'll have a photoshoot.

The only other thing I wanted to do was go support Tweek when he DJ'ed the dance. The dance line was ridiculously long! We were honestly in line longer than we stayed at the dance. And the dance line was probably more fun. As the line got smaller and people were getting bored and antsy, we started making our own entertainment. People would run up and down the lines trying to get the wave going. We would just yell and make the whole place echo (I don't know if it was from something, but it was fun). Well, we got to the front of the line JUST as it turned 12am and Tweek's set ended. He was outside the door as we were being let in! We decided to stay and enjoy a little bit since we did wait all that time. We danced and got nice and sweaty, then left only because we had to pee.

And the rest was okay.

July 4th was interesting. For the past 5 years, I had always been at AX so I never thought about what to do. But since it decided to fall on a freaking Wednesday this year, I was kind of at a loss what to do. Luckily Kelly had one of her small, last minute "parties" at her place. We ate pizza on the roof while watching fireworks (my first time on a roof!), and later lit our own. George had his camera so we had fun trying to spell stuff out with sparklers.

Then we played soda/water pong. That got a little difficult later because it was just so much soda. At the very end we just started bouncing ping pong balls off the walls trying to make it into cups scattered across the table.

On Saturday I went to Disneyland again with my coworker. It was fun. I think we did a lot. I can't tell anymore unless I sit down and count what we did. We didn't watch any nighttime shows, but we watched the Aladdin show. We had about 2 rides breakdown while we were in line and 1 was broken when we got to it. We eventually went back and rode everything. I was so tired though. I didn't get very good sleep much of last week and I only got about 4 hours before Disneyland.

The rest of my Saturdays in July are now pretty booked. This Saturday is my company barbeque, next Saturday is Kelly's barbeque party, and the week after that is beach day!!! I REALLY hope the weather is nice that day. I hope the weather is nice all month. All summer!

Okay, that's it...bye! ♥
