Got to visit San Francisco, the Golden Gate bridge, and the Pacific Ocean on the Winter Solstice, and then we did a Yuletide ritual together.

Visiting Fred in San Jose! We made wassail with cider, apples, and our own spices in a tea ball, and made crescent cakes for the full moon.

Anime Weekend Atlanta – Saturday

1999, Cosplay, Vacations,

My first anime cosplay! I’m Little Washu from Tenchi Muyo. I had a wig that I was trying to dye pink but I ruined it, so I just had to be a blond Washu.

Other cosplayers from my same anime were there! I didn’t know them but I got a picture.

Ayeka, Ryoko, Washu

(Yes I had the cute little Washu robots on my shoulders.)

My Washu Costume

Here was someone dressed as the main character of the anime I was from:

Tenchi

And here are a couple of cosplayers who were dressed as characters from animes I liked.

Fred Visit Day 5

Visiting my parents!

We got up sorta early so we could drive to my house.

Pajamas, with hair in a knot

Matching pillows

A Furby pyramid

We had breakfast with Jessica and Ron at McDonald’s and came up with our new idea for taking over the Internet. Then we got on our way.

We arrived in Tampa unharmed. 🙂

We left Tampa after visiting with my family and got back to Gainesville, where we went to sleep almost immediately. 😀

The beach!

We ate at IHOP and then headed to the beach.

Our castle

The castle we made

Ivy’s castle

We decided that I was the castle’s evil witch, Jessica was the moat monster, Ron was a knight or something, and Fred was the princess. 🙂 Later we went home and I dozed. 🙂

Waking up on the couch

We went to a Thai restaurant which kind of pissed us all off because it seemed we got bad service everywhere we went. Later we had ice cream and watched some of Tenchi in Tokyo.
