Breaking News: Gacktesis smokes!!!

[kabuki]

... the proof was given at the Train-station in Hamm on the way back from the animagic2009.

I had such a great weekend - maybe the make up for the whole last week. It started with more stress than necessary. And a major headache. First I had a car, then not, then my brother stepped in, then he decided that he felt uncomfortable with me driving the long distance to Bonn. So he gave me the train-ticket as early birthday present.
To cut a long story short - Sweet Gwen and I made it to the convention in the end ... nearly in time.

We found Noc pretty soon and started one of our favorite activities: trash-talking. Some of the cosplays were a pain in the eye not so good. But others were just breathtaking.

Although the stress of the week before took it's toll - I wasn't as talkative as usual and my neck was stiff and hurt like hell - it was so awesome to watch all the great costumes. The whole atmosphere was amazing.
Unfortunately I neither had a ticket for the con itself nor any money to spent on books, films or posters. (Birthday is 4 days too late. Or the con was too early ;_; ) And I could only stay for Saturday.

On the way back I met some more really nice people - including the smoking Genesis and a group of Visus'. And had a long debate with my inner-self. I will be at the Connichi for sure. And this time not as civilian. Maybe I even finish my Mononoke-Cos till then. (And then I have no reason to back up from LARP's anymore *sigh*- with some changes the outfit works also for my planned character. A 'medicine'-seller *cough* )

(Sorry, this seems to turn into a Socks Missing in Action-Post)

Today was the day, I was really afraid of. My Dad's fiftieth birthday.

And after all the screwed up stuff which happened the last weeks I was so horrified that I would mess things up.
But ... everything went completely smooth.
I managed to clean up my whole apartment. And my cake was a blast. Chemistry in its purest form. But it tasted good.
And the best: No arguments at all with my parents and grandparents.

For a change a really nice and relaxing weekend. ^_^
