6.5 AVCON!!!!!!! 30-7

It's AVCon! It's AVCon! It's AVCon this weekend!
Maybe you've guessed, but I did this part before AVCon. So this chapter will be in past, present and future tense. Yay!
Ok, so I'm getting this chapter ready beforehand, so I can make notes, and stuff. This chapter will be like a diary, each day will have its own little paragraph. To be honest, I probably won't write much on Saturday night, because it's the afterparty, so partying til midnight! Woohoo! 🎉🎊🎉🎊 (Literally the only party that goes to midnight that we go to that isn't a friend's birthday or some shit like that. We have no life.)
So the plan is to get all ready on Friday, then bus it to Adelaide at 8.41 (because the trains are down! Why?! Why are the trains down this weekend out of all of them?!) on Saturday. We have booked a 4 person apartment thing that's close to the Convention Centre, so it's easier to get to. (PS' boyfriend was suppost to be rooming with us too, but he had a competition on Saturday, so he'll join us sometime on Sunday.) Only $35 per person per night, which includes free wifi. (Not that we'll use it much Saturday. 😀) So then we'll drop our bags off in our room, get lunch and then head over to the convention centre. Hopefully the line would have less people then.
That's about as far as we've gotten plan wise.
Ok. Everything after here, was/is/will be written on the day.

FRIDAY:
[9.30, before I leave for PS' house]
So EXCITED!!!
Just had a loner fashion parade to make sure I had everything. At first I freaked out because I couldn't find my Lucy earrings... Then found the sleepers clipped onto her keys. Which, now that I think about it, is a really stupid place to put them. Then I couldn't find Usa-chan, and after looking for 10 minutes, realised I'd shoved him in my bag already.
I think I'm losing my marbles.
=/% You never had any to begin with. &~(
True that.
I spent 2 hours combing my wig yesterday, and it had no knots. I woke up this morning: Knots! Knots everywhere! I don't even know how that happens. It hadn't been moved or even touched after I put it back on the rack. Jesus.

[Just before work]
I went to the shops because I found America's boots yesterday and I had to buy them today because I didn't yesterday, so instead of meeting at PS' house at 10, I was there at 10.20. Oh well. Better late than never.
Then when I got there, we finally saw PS' secret cosplay. Inuyasha! It was surprising because she told us through the door that we both knew him, and he wore red, and we were brainstorming. We both thought Canada, but no. We didn't even think of Inuyasha.
Then we played Just Dance because PS hadn't tested if she could dance in Inuyasha's robe. So about 3 hours later, after playing Mario Olympics (because we got tired of Just Dance), we packed everything up and shoved it in the car to go to my house. We ordered pizza on the way there. We ordered 4 of them, and by the time we were full, there was still 1 and 1/2 pizzas left. Oh well. Breakfast Saturday.
I've had a song stuck in my head for the whole day. So annoying, because A) It isn't related to FT, AVCon, or anything anime at all. B) I don't actually know the whole song, so it's only one verse. C) It's super depressing, because it's about a war. D) It's about death (which is even worse, considering that FT might... DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT!)
So here's the song (It's from TID. Yeah, Shadowhunters aren't even related to FT. See what I mean about it being weird?)
"It was dark, dark night.
There was no starlight,
And they waded through red blood to the knee.
For all the blood that's shed on Earth,
Runs through the springs of that country."
Kinda reminds me of Zeref though. And the country that's fed off Zeref's curse.

[Before I go to sleep]
I had work 8-11.30, but my manager let me go home at 11 because there wasn't that many customers, so that was good. When I came home, Moustachio was asleep, but PS woke up when I opened the door. (Tamba [my puppy] whacking his tail against the wall probably didn't help...)
I kept thinking of new things to put in my bag. I have to admit, I feel kinda out of it because I'm so tired, so I kept having to repeat my words because I didn't say the right ones.
But sad news. The dance party has been cancelled for a quiz night. Why? That afterparty is literally the only time nerds like us get to dance. You are taking away what we live for, AVCon organisers!
PS kept following me around-
@*\ Like a stalker ;£"
PS: Hey! Was not! I was just making sure you didn't pack anything weird into your bag.
BD: What, the fact that I packed 3 packets of biscuits and was annoyed that there wasn't an even 4 didn't click as weird?
PS: No. Not really. They're nice biscuits.
-so when I had an idea of putting the Royal Queen's Guard bear that I got from England on Moustachio's bedside table, she just watched and shook her head. I was giggling the whole time. I positioned it so it was staring at M🥜... Can't wait to see her reaction in the morning.
