So it's June...and THANK GOD (this was meant to be posted on the 31st of May >.<)! While May was great due to MCM, I also had 6 exams. So I couldn't be happier that May is finally behind me. I have been back in BEAUTIFUL London for nearly a week now, but I only have a day and a bit left to enjoy before I go back to Nottingham. I will be working in a Primary School for roughly 3 weeks, but...on the plus side...those 3 weeks will earn me £600!! SCORE!
And another reason why I'm so happy we have finally entered June is because of all the greatness to come! The new Paramore Single, Monster, is now available to listen to in full, WWDC tomorrow (iOS 5 and OSX Lion revealed!), 3DS update AND Nintendo's E3 Media Presentation the day after WWDC (which is likely to bring more cool things to June) and...let's not forget Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time re-release for the 3DS on 17th June. And is the wasn't enough, on 28th June, I'm going to be watching Glee LIVE at the 02! Yesterday was also the Pokémon VGC...which I was meant to go to. But things arose and was unable to. Meh...I'll go next year...maybe when I'll actually compete! LOL! >.<
But, as I said, May wasn't all bad. May brings us the wonderful MCM Expo at ExCeL London (yes...that is how you write ExCeL...I'm not crazy. =P). This event comes about the last weekend every May and October (Friday to Sunday), and I've been attending both times every year for a couple of years now. But this time was special. This is the first time I've actually, properly cosplayed. Whereas normally I just wear my Mario hat and game merch. And who else did I cosplay as then Mario himself! And if you didn't know, cosplaying is basically dressing up as any gaming/anime/any geeky character. A lot of people cosplay at this, and a lot of similar events. As well as me cosplaying, a lot of my friends did too. From Yasmeen as Luigi and Nina as a generic anime schoolgirl to Yves as Hiyori (Bleach) and Sanjay as Goku (DBZ).
Also, thanks to the 3DS launch, I met others who also go to the amazing MCM. Such as Colette and Holly dressed as Kairi and Namine respectively (Kingdom Hearts) and Robin who didn't technically cosplay, but wore massive bear arms...all the better to hug you all with (I know that's the big bad wolf...whatever =P)...and he gave out a lot so you probably saw him about. The outfits some people were wearing was amazing, such as Voldemort and some of the outstanding Pokémon cosplays. I even saw someone dressed as Shinichi Kudou from Detective Conan (aka Case Closed). The main character from an EPICALLY long ongoing manga that I'm reading (and only 50% through =/).
A few of my friends didn't cosplay, but they will next time...even if we have to make them by FORCE. =P
One of the highlights of the day HAS to be the StreetPassing. I got nearly 100 hits at the event, which helped me finish all the puzzles, round 1 of the StreetPass Quest and half of round 2. Bring on MCM October!
EPIC AMOUNT OF PICS TO FOLLOW!! XD
