AWA: Back home and not dead thread

[Danae]

I made it back home alive. <3 How bout everyone else?

Start using this thread to post reflections of your lovely experiences abroad! :D

[Nanuri]

I'm back safe too! *Waves hand around*

Wubba, Danae <3

[Danae]

This, btw, is what me and Matt were laughing at the entire weekend while you stared at us funny.

Now you can all laugh along even though we're cooler since we were laughing first. LOSERS.

[Matt Cruea]

We're all glad you guys are home safely.

[Peterodl]

Sounds like I missed quite a fun time as usual.
I expect to see lots of pictures!

Expect more like a lot of ass kicking from Serena for not showing up. I had to cover your payments and give her like, $100, man. Totally not cool.

-crawls out of bed and types- lol I'm so exhausted, but AWA was the best. I think next year I'll stay at the hotel cause driving back and forth made me crazy heh.

O-o -thinks- I didn't get to meet any of you -sniff- lol well maybe next year cause I'm definitely going again.

Were any of you part of the Cosplay Contest?

[GreatTeal]

I made it and I've already gotten reamed for being 30 min late to work since I drove from Atlanta to Starkville at 5:00am, ugh! Actually I got reamed for not calling to say that I was running late.

I wanted to thank all of you for being so cool to hang with and send major "less than 3's" (<3) to everybody! What's everyone doing next weekend? OMGWTFSTFU!!!!111one (or whatever). Just f*ckin' with ya!

I forgot to put makeup on my, um, "birth mark" so I'm walking around the computer lab with my collar turned up. Very reminisant of a certain Austrialian 70's porno director I met once. And my hair is back to normal, sorry Tom.

I WANT SLEEP!!!

[Danae]

I WANT SOME SHICKEN.

[GreatTeal]

Danae, are you funny funny? Are you one of those gay gays?

[Danae]

OHHHHHHH SNAP.

[Pamela]

was I the only one that was photo crazy and video crazy? .. indeed. ^_^ I love the pictures I got; I just wished I had more.

It was fun running into the various VAs. Sorry I didn't hang around for long periods of time like everyone else. I had a cute lil boy that needed lots of attention :-3.

[Matt Alan]

I'm just gay, not gay-gay. XD

[Matt Cruea]

Both of the group pictures I got turned out blurry. Suckage.

[Nanuri]

DANAED.

Time for an IP change I guess ;)

[Danae]

Damn, someone make me that sig pic!

I'M TOTALLY STILL BANNED FROM NIKKI'S VAGINA YOU GUYS.

Blue = TOUGHEST FIREWALL EVAR.

[Nanuri]

Damn, someone make me that sig pic!

Gimme 10 minutes <3

[Nanuri]

Double-post, but here it is in all its sucky glory.

[Danae]

[Nanuri]

[Aimi]

i'm home safely! ^^

It was nice meeting y'all: Danae-san, Velvy, TamTu, Katie (i'm sorry if i got your name wrong ^^;)

i got a picture with Velvy and TamTu *moos with joy* ^^
... i will post it as soon as i get a chance to scan it. (x.X;


Hope you liked my Ivy costume, Danae-san. ^^ i brought the Alraune (the rose sword) and everything. Next time, i'll get the red one done... (>_< Hopefully, i can make it like a corsette. i attempted to make the bodysuit, but it looked more like a bathing suit than corsette. ^^;

Cheers,
-Aimi

[Matt Cruea]

Were you the Ivy at the costume contest? Cool costume.

[Danae]

Ah, I wasn't at the contest so I didn't see!!! ._. Post pictures, woman!

And uh, an update about the Monday people: Apparently Velvy, Nikki, Serena, Bret, and Lucy are all stuck in the airport due to delays from El Nino--I mean that other huricaine.

They might have to spend the night.

Survey says: Danae's freaking happy she went home yesterday.

Hope they don't have to ride it out and can get back safely.

[Matt Cruea]

Lucy's there too? Ouch.

I have no idea if there's anything I can do for them. : (

[Clintykins]

I got home an hour or two ago. Safe and sound. <3

I'mma develop my pictures tomorrow and hopefully my group piccies will turn out un-blurry Mattykins.

[Danae]

Last I checked Lucy may or may not be there...they needed his phone number to check.

yeah, hopefully there will be no having to sleep in the airport for 3 days or something.

[Aimi]

>Danae-san

Okay, i scanned the two pictures that pertain to what i posted previously... i have 22 more pictures, but they were mostly from Karaoke Ok. ^^; Will scan that when i get a chance...

sorry it's Geocities. Just worried about people direct-linking to me and eat up my bandwidth. (x.X;

http://www.geocities.com/excaliper.geo/awa10.html

A Fan's View took my picture, but neither of them were flattering at all... (x.X; The cameras don't like me... (;_;

Here are the official AWA ones...

-Aimi

[Tom]

I'm home! And boy, are there some STORIES. But, we'll get to that later.

For now, I've got me some Philippe to spend time with. So uh.. BYE.

--Tom

[Chris Nagy]

Still not dead. Atlanta failed to do me in despite constant attempts involving bad drivers.

[StNick79]

yeh i got home around 130pm today (monday), didnt get much time to relax as i had to work.

it was cool getting to meet everyone, even tho i wasnt as lively as u all hoped. haha another day and i woulda been doin flips off the bed. im not a naturally loud speaker, so of course i got drowned out by alot of yall and therefore u missed out on me talkin.

i'll have to clear up some space before i post pix, but if u want me to email anything, lemme know.

and yup, lots of stories....so get your fluffer nutters and enjoy the show


and aimi, i was the random black guy with blue and velvy that was wit yall when u were talkin. excellent Ivy outfit, wish there were more SC cosplays..

[Ashley Keen]

*demands more photos* XD

[TamTu]

Alive and kickin'.


...and missing Nikki ;_;....and everyone else.....and Katie's pink wig.

[Andrea Wolf]

AWA was frucking awesome.
Makes me wish I'd decided to chill with the VAA crew :\
I'm glad everyone had fun!
I took too many pictures of my boyfriend. I was lame xD;

[Aimi]

>StNick

Oh my gosh! i did see you. Sorry i didn't mention your name... ^^;;;;;

And thank you for your compliments. ^^
Had i had more time, i would've done another version of Ivy, and a Raphael for my boyfriend... (x.X; Oh well, maybe next A-Kon, or if i can save money, AX ^^;

-Aimi

[Nikki Wright]

And uh, an update about the Monday people: Apparently Velvy, Nikki, Serena, Bret, and Lucy are all stuck in the airport due to delays from El Nino--I mean that other huricaine.
Yeah.. that really contributed to just how sad that day was. >D And, I don't know if we'll actually do this or not.. but.. look out for "Airport Losers" which may or may not be coming to a computer near you. :D




...and missing Nikki ;_;....and everyone else.....and Katie's pink wig.

._. Missing TamTu as well. Not so much the pink wig, though.. as he looked like a gay Shuyin. >D Fun quotes came with that..



I'M TOTALLY STILL BANNED FROM NIKKI'S VAGINA YOU GUYS.

Blue = TOUGHEST FIREWALL EVAR.

Danae, you aren't the only one who is banned from my vagina. Everyone is. It's password protected and I have the best firewall in existence - TamTu. :D No passing go for any of youuu. >D



Anyway. I'm back.. alive.. missing everyone and feeling kinda like.. we're not all at home and that people are going to pop into my room screaming "AWWW SNAP" or "OMIGAWAH" at any moment or whatever. Rawr. ;-;

In my opinion, 5 days wasn't enough time. >D

[Chris Nagy]

In my opinion, 5 days wasn't enough time. >D

Indeed. Quickly, one of you (or me, I wouldn't mind) win the lottery and build the AVA House.

[Matt Cruea]

Yeah. My house feels... really empty.

I had to sleep in the living room on Magali's couch last night. It was the only place that felt normal. : /

I miss all of you guys.

[Lucien]

After constantly delayed flights, rescheduling, and having to sleep under a directional map at the Atlanta airport, I am back home. Just wanted to say I had a great time there, seeing everybody, and I hope that we can do it again sometime. Thanks to everyone came and made my time truly enjoyable.

[Velvy]

I'm baaaaack, in my house, in San Diego. It's kinda like, "whoa, just yesterday I was ... and now I'm ... o_O time flies." I miss running around the hotel floors in my boots unbelievably enough.

Oh yahs, Aimi!! Cow! MOOOOOOOOooooo!!!

[Danae]

As much as it's fun to hang with you guys, if we all lived in the same house I'd kill all of you if I didn't have my own room. <3

[Cassie]

What? This was in Atlanta? Why the fuck didn't I know? And why the fuck didn't you guys visit me?

[TamTu]

CowMOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Sadsiren]

*rubs her eyes* Man, what a loooooooong weekend. But I've been home since Tuesday morning, safe and sound and so tired -.- Edwyn is still up in the air, but he hung out with me here in LA during his 12 hour layover yesterday. I'm hopeful the remainder of his flight is safe.

I had an incredibly awesome time everyone! Lots of laughter and beautiful moments, I wish our time together could have gone on longer. I'll be writing my memories down once I clear up some car troubles today. (God, so embarrassing). ;-;

You all have my love and my thanks. I'm hopeful we can do this again.

[Nikki Wright]

As much as it's fun to hang with you guys, if we all lived in the same house I'd kill all of you if I didn't have my own room. <3If we had an AVA house.. you'd definitely have your own room. I think.. because [mostly] everyone is all "OMGADMINWHOA" you, TamTu and Azure would have your own rooms by default. >D

We'll just have to get a really big house with at least 7 rooms is all. >D


What? This was in Atlanta? Why the f$ck didn't I know? And why the f$ck didn't you guys visit me?Cassie, we've been talking about this for 7 months. :P Where have you been? >D



I'm hopeful we can do this again.
Chrismaaaaaaas! You have no idea how serious I am about that. >.>

[Cassie]

What? This was in Atlanta? Why the f$ck didn't I know? And why the f$ck didn't you guys visit me?Cassie, we've been talking about this for 7 months. :P Where have you been? >D




<sarcasm on> yeah, you'd think with all the people making sure I know about it and wanting me to come I would've noticed there was a get together

<sarcasm off>

[Matt Cruea]

We didn't want Matt Alan to come, and HE knew about it. : P

Do you live near here, Cass? We would've loved to have had you.

[Sadsiren]

Chrismaaaaaaas! You have no idea how serious I am about that. >.>

LOL, Christmas, eh? That'd be fun, but what? And where? If it were for New Years, that might be more do-able, and I'd finally have a proper party to ring in the New Year.

[Matt Cruea]

I'd have no way to get anywhere for Christmas.

My flight money is going elsewhen.

[Edwyn]

I'm alive and back in Australia.

All alone. With no one to talk too. Except for Kuroneko. I went a little crazy in Atlanta airport.

Suck.

[Yami no Kitsune]

Maybe, if I have enough money, I'll go to the next AWA. It sounded like so much fun!

I was actually looking through some of the pictures, and that little dude who was dressed as Li Shaoran from CCS is from Aberdeen, Scotland! He never told me he was going! Wait till I get my paws on him!

[Danae]

I'd never be able to do anything for Christmas. My debt is insane at this point.

[Henageshi]

I DIDNT GET TO GO! *CRY*

All this talk is making me sad... I'm leaving the post now >< LOL
