Armageddon Expo 2013~

I figured that seeing as I made a special post about Armageddon last year, I should do the same this year. But then I realised that I don't actually have much to say about this time. I didn't dress up or cosplay or anything this year, I just went as myself. So I guess it'll be more like the feature if this post, but I'll probably keep it short and talk about other stuff too. It's been a while since I posted anyway, so I may as well take this chance to update on the rest of what's been going on in my life too... Which admittedly isn't very much. No surprise there, right? Anyway~


So this is what I wore. Sensible shoes for walking around for 7+ hours obvs. Also chose a really good day to wear entirely black. Clearly you can see how horrible the weather was //end sarcasm. I just wanted to be a little punk ok sorry I'm working on it.


One of the two people I actually bothered to take a photo with. She was really cute and I looooved her outfit! I've never seen anyone else dress in this sort of style over here. Her shoes were totally killer but unfortunately I didn't manage to get a photo with our feet in them...


Aaaand this was the other person I wanted to take a photo with. I got a photo with him last year, and he we totally precious (I think he was dressed as Gintoki from Gintama last year? Idk I haven't watched it). Anyway when we got there this year I was wondering if we would see him around, and we did! So of course I had to say hello and get a photo. 


Just a selfie. Nothing to see here. 


And this is what I bought this year. I'm actually surprised, I was anticipating spending much more. I had pretty good self control this year. Well, that and the fact that most of the anime "goods" being sold there are bootleg/fake. It's so easy to tell a fake collectible when fan art that I've seen on Pixiv is being used as packaging... Look at all that SNK though. I didn't even know that it was available here until a couple weeks ago when I found volume one. I wasn't going to buy that many but then I couldn't just leave them behind... And as you can see, Blue Exorcist volumes 4 and 7. I was missing 4 and 7 was the next one I needed so yup. Also Natsume Yuujinchou volume 1. I started reading this recently after wanting to for a long time, and it is so cute. Lastly I picked up Hetalia Axis Powers series 2. Because I love it. 

And that's pretty much it for Armageddon this year. Sorry it's not that interesting, I should have taken more photos or something. I'm considering cosplaying next year, or at least wearing kigurumi, so I'll be thinking about that and hopefully will have something more exciting for you next year~

Anyway to fill the rest of this post, I'm gonna do my usual pic spam update. I've pretty much just been working heaps (this week was my first week off in almost two months) so I haven't really done anything of interest. Just been out here and there, but I've mostly just been sitting at home spending way too much money internet shopping for things I may or may not need. 


The only time (that I can remember) that I actually went out for fun. And it wasn't even that exciting. We just went out for dinner one night. Yup that's pretty much it.


This is probably the thing that's had the most impact on my life lately. I got Dynasty Warriors 8 yeahhhh boiiiiii. I'm so stoked to finally have this game, I've been wanting it for so long but it was just a little too expensive. But as I said, I've been working lots lately, so I was finally able to afford it! Honestly these games keep getting better and better I stg. I am absolutely in love with this game and this series. This is what's eating all of my time lately. I regret nothing.


Also got some useless anime goods don't judge me ok. It kinda sucks cause the Eren and Levi straps can only be used one at a time... I kinda wanted to have them swinging around together on my phone but it's alright, they're suuuuper cute. I guess I'll just alternate?


See what I meant buy spending lots of money? I got the fourth Karneval Blu-Ray. I've also ordered the fifth one, so I just need to save up for the sixth and seventh. Pash! November, mostly for the Free! posters. I don't even watch that basketball one so yeah. And Animage Prince. This magazine is so gorgeous I can't even deal with it. 



Last Tuesday, I had my nails done again, finally. I've really come to hate my nails without having anything on them, so getting this done was quite relieving. It feels natural to me now, idk.

So yeah that's pretty much it, the past two months in a nutshell. Actually, I've bought more stuff than what I've shown here, but I don't have anything to show for it... yet. I got in early with some preorders. You know, preorders of the Figma Eren from SNK kind. Iamsoexcitedholyfuckingshit. This is my first ever figure, and I couldn't be happier. I don't have any intentions of becoming an avid figure collector or anything, but I do want to start getting some. You know, like favourite characters/series and such. So, that being said, I've also ordered the Nendoroid Eren and the Free! Collection Box. Whooo it's gonna be like Christmas in April. Oh, I also reached the height of weeb and ordered Free! plushies, the Mako and Haru big size ones. Fucking hell putting it in writing really reinforces how much I spent when I should be saving... haha, well, I'll be saving from now onwards, so it's alright... right? In conclusion, literally all I've been doing is working, watching anime, playing DW8 and spending too much money. That reminds me, we're a fair way into the fall anime season aren't we? It's pretty good so far. So, my next post will (most likely) be an anime post again, talking about what I am (and aren't) watching this season! Look forward to it~



Ok, so I guess that's it for today. Sorry for yet another messy, hideously written and terribly uninteresting post. I'll leave you with my face. Byeeee~
