Warning; Pretty long entry, and LOTS of pictures. But I'd still appreciate it if you'd check the pictures, if nothing else! Ignore all of the typos and such, I'm too tired to go through this entry for those .. Oh, and right,
sorry that the pictures are huge-ass sized and it takes a while to load them, but I didn't want to make them too small. ): Yossshh it's over! I had a pretty great time, despite all the heat and mass of people(and my self-esteem problems harhar). I met some old friends, and made new friends! ..Well, almost. *laugh* But yeah, let me start over.
On friday,
jorppujauho was the first one to arrive here. She helped me with my Judeau wig, but I still had some problems with it. Then we waited for
na_mu ,
purastik ,
shii_x and Eeva to arrive here. When they did, we went to Messukylä to drive
na_mu 's car over there. Guests can't park their cars near our place for a long time, since there's so much constructions going on. After the car was driven there, we took the first bus to centrum and went to Maruseki, since we had a reservation there at 06:30pm. Me and
jorppujauho were wearing our costumes, and I think it was pretty good practice for the real thing on saturday. It was still hard to go without my glasses, tho .. I tried to put the contact lenses on, but I couldn't. x_x; that's why I had to go without glasses.
Maruseki was great, I ordered more than I usually do, and this time ordered dessert too. We chatted while waiting for the food, and naturally, I took pictures. :'3 Pics under the cut!
Click the pictures to view them full-sized!Later that night me,
jorppujauho ,
na_mu and Eeva watched Willy Fog(or Phileas Fogg) cartoon, because they wanted. XD I had to go to work that night, so it was only 2-3 hours of sleep for me ..
Saturday I woke up at 8am, so I was VERY tired. Working the whole night, getting back home at abt 04:30am, going to sleep god knows when ..
jorppujauho helped me with putting my wig on, and about @ 11:00 we were ready to go. We headed for the bus stop, and some DAMN drunken idiot comes to talk to us! He harasses
na_mu and
jorppujauho a bit(because they were wearing their costumes), tries to touch and stuff.. He didn't pay attention to me at all, tho, 'cause I think he mistook me for a guy. X''DD *had her chest binded because of Judeau cosplay* He also tried to touch
jorppujauho , but she snapped at him. >:D The idiot just kept talking and talking to us .. I almost burst laughing when he kept babbling on and on, it was SO hard to keep myself calm and not to laugh. He even sat next us in the bus. He tried to touch
na_mu many times, and she snapped too. The drunken guy got pissed and threatened to kill
na_mu at the next market(lolwut?), and stepped out of the bus when we stopped at the hospital's bus stop. What a start for the day ..
But we finally managed to get to Tampere-Talo! I was SO surprised when someone recognized my cosplay! Seriously, I was prepared that NO ONE knows who I'm going as, but it made me so happy when one girl asked if I was Judeau, and when I said that I was, she took a picture of me. ;3; I WAS SO HAPPY! Well, then we started looking for a place to sit down, and when we did, we sat on the grass on the blanket I brought with me. I don't have anything against sitting on grass with nothing under me, but try to understand; I was wearing white trousers, I didn't want to go around with a green ass! But yeah, we set up a small camp there and started waiting for
purastik ,
shii_x and
ro_i to show up. They eventually did! Our blanket became veeery popular, all these people I didn't know sat down with us. They were somewhat friends with
na_mu , so they weren't
complete strangers.
But here's pictures from saturday!
Once again, click to view them full-sized!

From the inside. I didn't go inside the building more than a few times, because of the mass of people .. There were actually a LOT more people than you can see here.

na_mu as C.C from Code Geass R2. I really like this picture, I sorta took it by an accident. XD;

One of the Zack's. Unless I'm wrong, there was 4 or 5 different Zack's .. One was actually a guy!

Yotsuba! She was darn cute. There were few other Yotsuba's, but I didn't bother to take pictures of them.

Lulu & Yuna. There were a lot of FFX Yuna's.

sunri as .... er.. fuck I forgot! DD: I've got such a bad memory. *head-desk* But it was a cool costume!

Genesis

Hanna(aka Redgea from dA) as... crap, forgot about that too. D: Rrrgh!

Hanna's sister as Gaara.

.. Can't remember their names, but I do know that they're from Naruto. This is kinda cute, I think. :'D The one on the back noticed that I was gonna take a picture of the front dude, and well.. this ensues. XDD

Where has the world gone into, anti-Sora snapping pictures. :<

Zack vs Genesis; the ultimate battle! .. I felt myself as an complete asshole for asking them to pose like this. XD; But seriously, that Zack is SO NICE(mashin @ dA), we squee'd together our Crisis Core PSP's and Zack/Aerith. XDD She was one of those who came to sit with us on our 'camp' ~ ..

Oh, the drama...!! I still feel like an asshole, but whan can ya do about it. XD;

Mewtwo!

DAMN this Kamina was pure WIN! I still don't care about the show(maybe I'll watch it when it gets less popular), but MAAANNNN.

Moar win Kamina.

There were many Axel's around, but this one was one of the best, I think. (HOW did she(I assume that it's a she) style that wig like that?!)

Roxas that was with the prev Axel. This wasn't bad either, and the wig is decent too. But I still think that Kepa's(dA) wig pwns this wig 100-0. You'll see what I mean.

Man this moogle was
so cute! XD Especially when she "failed to check memory card". XD

kurkkunen as Clopin.

Some Finnish One Piece forum people, if I remember right. My friend, Maiju(the one with red hair and a black hat), wanted me to take a picture. So I did. :D

Rikku, Aerith, Yuna and a chocobo.

.. And just 'cause this Rikku was pure win, I wanted to take a closer picture of her.

Tifa. She was such a nice woman(can't say girl, she's over 20), and I think this was a great cosplay - and it was her first!

stalking ....

And I finally got to meet Minelo(dA)!

.. and she had these
SUPER cute shoes, that she customized herself!

sushizume. DAMN you're so pretty! ;A;

Yuffie. I believe that
jorppujauho took this with my camera, I was too damn lazy to run after her and ask for a picture. XD

na_mu 's friend as tonberry. She was also Kefka @ nekocon. She was so nice, and actually recognized me, that I was Lamppu. XD I look so weird and totally not me when I'm without my glasses, so it was a miracle that she knew it was me.

A random OP group that posed near our 'camp'. I was too lazy to get up and take a picture, so I just took a picture while I was sitting. XD; There were pretty many Lucci's around, but the one that hang out with us(pic later) was the BEST. >D Because he was actually a MAN.

Here's the actual-man-Zack! He's Niina's friend's friend, so you could say that I KINDA know him. XDD Niina's friend(who's not really a friend of mine, but we know eachother) took me to see him. He was super nice, we had a small chat about women cosplaying men, and we both agreed that usually when women cosplays men, they usually put up a shonen-ai show or something like that. XD They also had Cloud and Caith Sith in their group, pics later. Oh, and a BIG PLUS for him, because he's not wearing a wig! Neither was the Cloud.

Here's Niina's friend, Henu, who's Cloud's, Zack's and Cait's friend. She's super nice and cute. *heart*

GINTAMA COSPLAYYY!! Haha, when I saw that Elizabeth, I was all "OMG,ELIZABETH, ELIZABETH!! AND KATSURA! AND KAGURA!" Niina was all "Okayyy, let's go..." When
jorppujauho started to take a picture of them, I shook Niina from the shoulders and said "NIINA GO GET MY CAMERA! I LOVE YOU FOREVER IF YOU DO THAT" XDD;

Here's the Cloud that was with Henu and that Zack! He was super nice too, even if he looks damn pissed of here. XDD When he was drinking juice, that I like too, I was all "Ohmygod, that juice is SOOO good!" he was all "It is, want a sip?" I dunno why, but I refused. XD it's such good juice, after all ..

Here's the Cait Sith, Ilse. ~ She's super cute, too. ;^;

ES21 cosplay! I don't know those two, but Zinny-chan(dA) is Hiruma. :D There was another Hiruma too, and Agon, but I didn't get a picture of them .. ):

shii_x as Toph! Damn she's awesome, isn't she?! ;3;

From left to right; Memokkeen, someone-who's-dA-nick-I-can't-remember, Faezza and Sonikkuh(If I remember right. XD) from dA!

Random stalk picture of Ryoga. XD;

Oh, the nostalgia...! When she walked near our 'camp', I ran to her and was all like "OMG CAN I HAS A PICTURE?" There were pretty many Digimon cosplayers. Okay not SO many like Naruto, but a few still!

Random stalk picture of Selphie ~

This Yazoo was so nice, too bad I didn't catch her name .. She was also camping with us. :D

When I saw this Vincent cosplayer I was like "... IT'S A
MAN!!" There were a couple of more Vincent's glooming around, but this was ABSOLUTELY the best. :D And that gun..! It was so well made. Haha, I asked him to point Cerberus at me, it looks cool doesn't it. 8D ~

Kepa and her friend. THAT WIG PWNS, didn't I tell ya?! Kepa why do you have to be so DARN CUTE? *heart*

Moar digimon! Wizarmonnn. ~ I cried so hard when he died omg, he was totally awesome. ;3; (and now when I downloaded the Digimon Adventure eps and watched it again, I still cried when he died. XDD)

JUST when we were leaving I saw this Terra cosplayer. When I saw her face more clearly(still wasn't wearing any glasses), I saw that she goes to the same school I was in. I think this is an awesome cosplay of Terra, but the only thing bothers me is that this girl looks so angry, and Terra is a gentle woman .. :/ Oh well, like I could do any better.
Then we went to have a small photoshoot near our place. But it's such a darn shame that we went so late, the sun was already setting. And when it gets dark, you won't get any good photos. Well, not as nearly good as during daylight. But I still got some nice shots.
On Sunday I did the same routine; woke up at 8am, but I this time I was SO damn tired and worn out that I decided to go without cosplay. So I went to shower, and slept a bit more. XD; na_mu didn't put on her costume either, but
jorppujauho did. This time we went on a different bus, because we didn't want to run into the same drunken idiot from Saturday .. While walking down the Hämeenkatu to the railway station we bumped to Mikko. Well, okay, he noticed me and shouted 'Lamppu'. XD We went to the con place in a group, and separated there. I also saw Fixie(he's from Hidoi also)! Well, he poked me on the shoulder. Why I don't notice anyone, but anyone notices me .. And this time I
WAS wearing my glasses! Later I also so saw
siikakala,
fenris_90 and
adaramusta. I didn't get to see
mimeken, tho. ): Well, we met up with
ro_i and her group near the place we hang out on Saturday, and put up the 'camp' back up again. Then the usual people came back to hang out with us, who where with us on Saturday, harhar.

The must-be-taken shot on the bus stop. Don't look it, my face looks horrible. D: I should just keep my face on 'pokerface' mode, so I wouldn't look like a complete fuckhead. >__> Sorry, but that's how I feel ..

Another Clopin(perhaps, I'm not sure if it's
kurkkunen, the costume does look a bit different from hers tho) and Frodo.

Lucci, Sanji and Robin. Again, too lazy to go and ask for a picture, so I just took this stalker picture. XD

Yay, a new person with our group! \o/ well, she stayed only for a while, but still .. Unless I remember wrong, her name was Laura too. :DD She was a friend of Elisa's, I believe.

Elisa. If I remember right, she was the one who first came to our small campsite. :D And if I remember more right, she's
na_mu's friend's friend or something, but they knew each other. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

A random Asian girl who passed by.

Eeva

Winnie the Pooh and Piglet! Piglet noticed that I was gonna take a pic of them, so she(you can see that the cosplayer is a female) posed. XD

Dragon Ball cosplayers. There was a darn good Lunch there too, but I failed to take a picture of her. ):

I dunno what's this about, but decided to take a picture anyways.

Here's the Lucci I mentioned way back! His name is Joonas, and goddamn he was the best Lucci there :D I took this pic while he was talking to the phone, I'm such a nice person.. That expression is
SO Lucci. *snort* Yeah right. *laugh* Too bad that he forgot to bring his Hattori. ): But he was still win!

She has to be the most CUTEST Finnish FFX Rikku cosplayer I have seen. ;3;

Fran. I believe there was another one around, but I'm not so sure was it the same one .. XD

Wizarmon and Piemon

This is
hopsuh's friend, but I don't remember her name ..
hopsuh took this picture, she wanted to try my camera. >D

.. Since we didn't get any pictures of
jorppujauho's cosplay during the small photoshoot, we took some in the con area. There was this huuuge tree near us, and when it wasn't occupied(meaning; people around it), we went and took few photos. ~ FYI, she cosplayed Yoko Nakajima from Twelve Kingdoms.

"Where's Keiki ~ ?"

Me and Elisa went on a search for this cosplayer a couple of times, and finally managed to find her! She cosplayed the anime version of the character that Elisa cosplayed, and Elisa wanted to take a picture with her. Can't remember the series or the character, boo. She mentioned that the series is being released in Finnish, but the only Finnish-published manga I read is One Piece.

"You have been murdered" Anyone else got hugged by her? XD We all did .. (is she from Silent Hill? I've only played 'The Room', so I'm not sure)

Aidu with a super cute expression! :'DD

.. and of course I had to take a better picture of Joonas. XD;

Here's our campsite. ~ Well, it's missing 5-7 people. XD; But you get what I mean.

Moar Joonas, 'cause he's such an awesome Lucci. *__*

C-Cavemen!

WIN!Kamina came back! \o/


Then I got an iiiimportant mission; to take care of Zack's sword and Mother while people go to eat! \o/ Yeah, I'm holding Mom very gently there.. :'D Pic taken by
jorppujauho
/b/

shii_x,
purastik and Jossu(right?) in their Xepher cosplay. ..It WAS Xepher, right?

shii_x, let your hair grow like that, I think it really suits you and you look so pretty. ;3;

purastik, and jossu lolling next to her. XD

Redgea and her sister(? or friend? XD can't remember..) as Axel and Roxas. Damn those weapons were well made..!

.. and of course I had to fool around with 'em. :'D

Balthier! There was a another Balthier, too.
jorppujauho and
na_mu spotted this OP group, but I was too lazy to go there. XD; And I was still on my mission .. So when
na_mu went to take a picture with
jorppujauho, I asked if she could take the picture with my camera, too. So she did, thanks dear! *heart* (omg and I totally just now noticed, it looks like that Sanji is staring at Usopp's chest! XDD)

Arabasta Luffy! Taken by
na_mu
Our campsite, that was now a biiiit empty. XD

When the tree was free again, me and
jorppujauho swooped in and took some more photos, this time Yoko sitting. ~

The hair clip-on that
jorppujauho was wearing was noticeably different color than her own hair(but it didn't matter that much), but I'm glad that it doesn't show in these pictures that badly. *3*

Yep, I remembered right, that there was another Fran!

Close-up of the Balthier.
I left from animecon @ 0400pm with
na_mu to get her car from Messukylä. We had a small coffee/tea(I drank tea) break at Jasu's grandparent's place. They were such nice people. After that, we drove to my place, and
na_mu took her and Eeva's stuff. I helped her, of course. We hugged a goodbye, and I was in near tears because
na_mu goes to America for a year, as an au-pair .. But we'll be in touch through the internet, of course. But being able to see her in a year makes me sad, of course. ):
Later that night I tried on the FF7 Tifa costume that
ro_i gave me as a birthday present, and I have to say, I was amaaaazed by it. 8D My mom said that it looks good on me. Well, my face NEVER looks good, but nah.

I still have a few things to fix. Like the shoes; they're some old pair of shoes that I found from my closet, and the elbow-thingie, bandages or whatever they are to the gloves and cut the wig. :D The wig is a bit short tho, but it's not that important! And I can buy a new one if I feel like it, and use that wig for CC or AC Tifa, because she has shorter hair then .. The skirt is a bit longer for a reason, and that's GOOD. I don't want to give any panty shots .. I'm gonna cosplay with that costume sometime. >D THANKS AGAIN
ro_i, I LOVE IT! *hearts*
PHEW, that's it! GOOOODDD I feel so relieved, I started writing this journal last night, and now finished it. Well, I had to work and sleep in between. XD;
My periods FINALLY started! I was getting kinda scared, because I didn't have my periods in two months ..
I felt really bad about myself when I was younger too, I was really ugly in elementary school, you just gotta trust people who tell you you're pretty. If you believe that, you automatically get even prettier, I dunno how that works lolololol And if a person makes an effort to look even prettier, they could rock the world!
