COMIC CON MAY 2014!

Comic Con was so fricking amazing! It was so fun, so much to see, to buy, to do, and everything else comic/anime/manga/tv/film/gaming related!
I had to wake up at 6:15 am so that there would be time to get ready and dye my hair blue before leaving to meet my friends at 7:30 am. Although I kinda snoozed for about 15 minutes...so I ended up with a sort of streaked dip-dyed hair effect, only the ends of my ponytail were spray-dyed, and not done very well either. Anyways, at least I had a bit of blue in my hair! We arrived at the centre, ExCel centre in London, and after getting kinda lost we then had to wait in the queue for nearly an hour, in the rain.
Anyways enough about the boring stuff, let's move on. We got inside and I was so excited, there was so much to look at. There were so many people in cosplay too, including two of my friends, one as Castiel (Supernatural) and the other as Holly Short (Artemis Fowl). Whilst there, I freaked out, and decided to get photos with loads of cool cosplayers!
At Comic Con, I bought a few badges and an adorable Totoro hat! We wandered around, my friends and I, for about 6 hours! By the end, we were shattered and our feet and legs were aching so much, and we kept on having to stop and sit down. So at around 4pm, we decided to leave the amazingness of Comic Con and begin our journey home.
We took the underground and, as you know, I was really tired, so I was half falling asleep. This is embarrassing, but I was sitting next to a random woman, and I almost fell asleep on her shoulder! I literally leaned against her but luckily I think the carriage jolted, so I woke up suddenly and that was when I realised I was against someone's shoulder... Thank god it was only for a split second, and that woman got off at the next stop. She probably got off because she wanted to get away from me to be honest...oops lol.
Anyways, I'm really really really tired, so bye!! Xxx

ADVENTURE TO KINGS LYNN!

Hello, all you lovely people!!! So as its a lovely three-day weekend, my parents and I decided to go take the train somewhere. And where better to go than the furthest place the ticket can get you! It's for the same price, so why not? Anyways, today we went to Kings Lynn, which is really up north compared to where I live. The journey was so long, we started it at 10am ish and got to our destination at 1pm. There was a period of time where for a solid 1 hour I was standing at the entrance of a completely crowded train, only holding onto my sweaty dad for support. Although to be honest, if I lost my balance, I probably wouldn't have even fallen down too much considering the number of people that were all squished together. Or I could have set off a domino effect, and everyone in the carriage would fall down like a Mexican wave...
On the trains, I read some more of the Iliad and it brought back so many memories! It reminded me of when I was in Turkey with friends and we acted out a few sections of it...it was so fun...whilst reading it today I imagined acting it out with my friends on a coach, using a sunhat as a dead body... Those good old times.
When we were actually exploring the town, we found that there wasn't much to see and do, so we bickered about pointless things, such as Chinese restaurants vs. McDonald's. In the end, we opted for both, so it was cool. And seeing as there was nothing to do, we decided to shop. We went to the most exotic shops, like T.K.Maxx and Poundland, where we bought the most exotic things like a shirt and chocolate. Yeah, totally trying new things here! 



We had lunch/dinner (linner?) at Chopstix and McDonald's, had a little walk in the park and played on the swings, then went back to the train station to catch our train back home. Except it wasn't actually one train: it was a train, then the underground, then a little walk, then a train again. So it was a tube-and-feet sandwich with train bread. That sounds absolutely delicious! Not. It wasn't fun, I'm so tired now from running from one station to the next.
We got back home at around 8:30pm, and I'm super duper tired so I'm gonna leave it here for today, goodbye!!!
