This might fall under my other WORLD but oh well! It has more to do with my life rather than cosplay. 
Ok so yesterday was Chibifest 2008. It's a one day anime convention with a couple venders, rocking musicians, and a few raffles/contests. Well I was planning to go months in advance but after I got my badge the day before the actual convention, I started feeling weird. I felt a little sick and for some reason I couldn't sleep peacefully.
Yesterday morning I woke up really early and couldn't get back to sleep and since I was planning on heading over to the library (where it was being held) in the afternoon, I had to stay up. Still feeling sick, I dressed up in my Hazuki costume and went around 1:00.
After arriving I was thinking about going to see a concert or going to the latest panel when I was approched by a girl dressed from Lucky Star/The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya, she asked me if I was signing up for masquerade since I was all dressed up. I said no and explained how I would've signed up but the rules were that you had to have music and I didn't know how to get any on an MP3 file or CD. She then said that I should sign up anyway since there wasn't that many contestants and she had Neko Mimi Mode (the theme song to Moon Phase) on her computer already. I agreed after that to join for the fun of it.
Well time passed by quickly and before I knew it, it was 5:00 (masquerade time). I watched the Death Note group that was before me (they were great btw) and then I did by thing. I danced around, sang, and asked for slaves. It was great fun, I even got two slaves after my performance! The remaining acts went on, all uber good, and the judges wandered off to decide what award went to who.
Tick-tock,tick-tock, and the judges were back saying that there were five awards and five acts so everyone would get something. Yayz!...I must say I was stunned when they gave me the award for Best Costume. I worked hard on the outfit but wow that's my first convention win! I'm so grateful to the judges, I hope they know that I can't thank them enough. I'm still uber happy about it *jumps around room*! I went from sick, to dressing up, to being skeptical, to winning an awesome award. Weird and great!
I thought I'd share some good news, have an awesome night people!
