Pre-Registration Dance Ahaha, ok, this dance was awesome! I totally liked it far more than the dance on Saturday, The pre-reg dance was more closer together with the peoples! Anyhow, I got to the hotel at around, I dunno, 6:30pm, wearing my Uruhara hat! Sadly I wasn't in cosplay, and totally regretted it later, but I still had a good time! At first, I just wandered around the floor waiting for people I knew or recognized to show up and to get my con badge, when con go-ers started showing up. I was all giddy inside. Heeheehee. My friends laugh at me because I knew or recognized pretty much every person who walked in from ac3 the year before and people from anime north XD So, I talked and caught up on things with friends who I haven't seen in awhile (yes you Sophie, my Roxas you ^-^ ) The 404's were totally awesome too and funny as always during their short improve show they did for us, and we got free food and pop (yosh!) and I was sitting at a table with some friends and random people who I made friends with ( I LOVE YOU JOANNA! You will always be my L )
 My L!
-I laughed at the poor preppy girls who kept on walking back and forth by the doors when the dance started, I wanted to walk up to them and laugh in their faces...but I'm nicer than that <.<- The dance, again, totally pwn'd. THERE WAS BUBBLES AND FOAM! I totally washed myself down with that XD And Mike (Vash), the Glowsticking guy YOU ARE AWESOME! YAY FOR GLOWSTICKS!
 Glowsticking Guy
Dancing with L was the best, 'He' definately has some moves going on XDD as did that other L (Jackie!) Me and a friend I made, went around 'dirty-dancing' and shagging random people (yes, Reno, Squall, Demyx, that OTHER Demyx and Vash, and a bunch of other people) Twas Fun ^.^ We even had our fun by crawling under tables and attacking peoples feet. Whee! At one point, me and a bunch of people did a group shag, and it was just this giant mash of cosplayers dancing against eachother, it was highly amusing. I remember seeing this one guy dancing, he was EVERYWHERE! It reminded me of disco dancing...stuff XD I left the pre-reg dance at around midnight and got home pretty late in the night, I was up for so long attempting to fix my damn wig, but just gave up, and slept for about 3 hours and GOT UP AGAIN! Rushed into my costume, ran down to my friends house, and we were gone by 7:30 in morning on our way to the start of Ac-Cubed 2006!
Ac-Cubed, Saturday So, we get to the con at around 8am, (it was way cool cause we were the only cosplayers on the bus to the con at the time, until I saw two keyblades high in the air at a bus stop we came up to, and I was like ROOOXAAASSSS! *ahem* ) anyway and I waited around with my friend as she got her badge, then we headed down to the line-up for the dealers room... WHY DO WE ALWAYS DO THIS!? I don't know! It must be some wierd passed on invisible force to all cosplayers to WAIT IN THE DEALERS LINE AT THE START OF A CON!
WHY!??? T.T
not to mention it was delayed to open by almost an hour...and the line up was just getting bigger...Anyhow, we walked down along the line up, as I waved to countless people I know, knew, and met the night before (my friend shaking her head behind me, since I kept running back and forth everywhere) DEMYX! Yes I love you man. You are my favorite Demyx always! Rock on with your Sitar!
 My Demyx!
Anyhow, the dealers room finally opened at like 10, and all I can say is I spent about $300 in there XD Mostly on Kingdom Hearts stuff. I went to the games room for a bit with My L and wandered around ALOT. It was sad being the only Riku all weekend T.T But oh well ^-^ The Sora's were all mine. Muhahaha. I ended up hunting a Sora down when someone told me they saw one, after 10 minutes of running around mumbling 'sora sora sora', I finally found 'him' in the washroom, and jumped them! At the Kingdom Hearts Panel, my friends and I were the speakers of it (Riku, Catgirl, Kairi and Kankuro! YOSH! We Rule.) it was so much fun to do ^-^ That panel was so long though, we had a huge timeslot. Near the end we did the KH Photoshoot, which was short but still all right. YaY for the Yaoi! Afterwards I went off to random places. I barely remember the afternoon, cause I was EVERYWHERE. I didn't really do anything special, except well, I somehow got into many yaoiness with people O.o who wasn't SORA! But, still fun, Whee! Aside from the Kingdom Hearts Panel, and the random yaoi, I didn't really do anything else in the morning or the afternoon. At some point in the con schedule I showed up to the Otaku Dating Game, and that is where me and a Sora got together and decided to do the masquerade, a walk-on....yaoi...when pre-judging came up later that day I sorta argued with the masquerade directors about kissing up there 'yaoi', and badgered them to have the Sora and I go up right after the Kairi (which is something only me, Sora and Kairi understand XDDD)... I think the funniest thing and also the most embarrassing thing was when me and Sora were practicing for our kiss and I turned around and my MOM was right behind me...that scared the crap out of me, as did that odd creepy anime girl costume with the very smily mask and big eyes, it made me want to hide...so freaky...
 Freakish Anime Thing
After the masquerade, me and people got together and we all went down to Swiss Chalet, THAT was a fun time, (LOVE TO EK) we sang, conga'd, did the macarana...oh so fun...on the way back to the hotel, I somehow picked up people and we all went to my hotel room, there were like 20 people in it XD but it's all pretty much a blur. I got ready for the dance, dragged some more people into the room, and we all sauntered off to the dance...sort of...people vanished and I lost track of everyone XD YAY FOR VODKA! WHOOT! From this point on is when I ended up hanging out with some Cloud guy, yea, the ONLY male cloud at Ac-Cubed this year XD I went to his room, we had some drinks, later on, I got to see him change with the Walter XD hehe At the dance Saturday, it wasn't really that fun, it didn't have as much energy as the friday dance did. I DID ball-room dance with a Squall though XD It was about 2am in the morning. I mostly hung around the couches and such by now, and going back and forth lazily between couches and dance. At about 3am, I chilled on the couch with some guy and with a bunch of other people who seemed to all be FF characters, there was reno, vincent, aeris, cloud, squall...I REMEMBER A GREED! Anyhow, someone ended up yelling out ' TIM HORTONS!' Which resulted in almost all of us going out on a night-time stroll to find Tim Hortons, me and my group never found it, we were walking down Merivale for like 40 minutes! and we just gave up and got a large pizza from some pizza place that was open still XD and came back, ate it, went to find everyone, but we couldn't we checked every single floor! I ended up getting locked out of my hotel room, and so I slept in the same hotel room as Cloud, but when we checked the room to see if anyone was in it, there was just one person sleeping, but we decided to check the bathroom...and OMG! FOREVER SCARRED! VINCENT AND RENO!!! XDDD When they left, we sprayed the bathroom down with more than one perfume! SEX SMELL SEX SMELL! *assumed* Cloud and I were getting all in bed, and it was so hard sleeping, people kept walking in and out, in and out, (Snake Shirtless! Whoot!) and when we finally got through to sleep, we woke up with the door flying open with people going ... 'CON! YAY! IT'S 8 O'CLOCK! WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!' and, well, I remember going to sleep that 'night' with Cloud, and that other guy on the other bed, THREE OF US! I woke up, and there were like 10 people in the room! Someone was even sleeping at our feet! O.o So yes, that was my Saturday, I had a blast, made alot of new friends, and yaoi'd with a bunch of people. Cloud Guy Ac-Cubed, Sunday Ok, so I woke up Sunday, I finally got into my hotel room after getting a text message asking where I was. And as always, mornings always start off slow, my friend came to the con that day, I went to Rocking Johnny's for breakfast, came back, we had to evacuate our hotel room *not literally* but we had to check out. I had to lug all my stuff around, that is, untill I left everything at the Comic Book Shoppe tables in the dealers room. I met up with people, but more stuff, took pictures, and well, I remember seeing a MALE Sora the night before during the masquerade (I saw him from the stage XDDD) and so, I searched for him, and found him in the dealers room saying ' SEE! I TOLD you I cosplayed Riku!' and then we did some yaoi right there in the dealers room o.o then we did more later in the hallway, and there is a video of it on youtube yo!
 Innocent Picture of Me and the Sora
Ahahaha!!! I did alot of yaoi this day, love it. Also, Sora pwns with his Give Me Munny sign. Sundays are also known to be quite slow, so I didn't really do anything this day except sit around and talk with people, and do yaoi. Before the AMV contest, me and people did a random photoshoot on the spot, GANG ATTACK ON DEMYX!!! ahah yes! In the AMV contest, and I was sitting with my friend who made the Witch Docter video with Fushigi Yugi XD After that, I did more random yaoi, and with Cloud no less. Then went to Closing Ceremonies. Afterwards, the con emptied out reeeal fast, and me and about 15 other people were sitting at the couches by the front doors, chilling out. I left at around 7pm and came home with awesome memories, new friends, and a crap load of merchandise.After this con, I have been dubbed as the 'Con-Whoring Riku' for a listed amount of reasons...
* Shagging with Demyx, Reno, Squall, Vash, L, Misa and countless other people at pre-reg... * Making-out with Sora, Cloud, Itachi and others... * 'Kissing' Squall, Demyx, Sora and others... * Sharing the same bed with Cloud... ...

xD Wow... what a story Tes!
Mine is...
I didn't go to the pre-reg xD I spent the whole night TRYING to finish my Cloud sword. I failed cause I was missing a vital part of the bloody thing... THE HILT. I ended up keeping a few friends at my house (Usually for AC^3 I organize a group of friends that stay at my house and we travel to and from AC^3 as a group xD, next year it'll be hotel all the way) though they wanted to go to the pre-reg dance T.T I'm sorry I kept them. Some people went regardless of the fact though. I stayed up nearly all night working on my sword and watching Ouran Highschool host club. xD
First day:
Woke up late and got there late. by the time we got there the line up for the dealer's room was gone so it made easy access. I went around and instantly bought my FFVII:AC-Reunion files- book and my Gackt CDS. I SHOULD have bought that Cloud plushie >_o. Gah. Went and visited my co-worker Laura at the Entertainment Ink booth and she gave me a 'VIP pass' cause I won the art contest. However, I didn't know what the hell it was for until the last two hours of the con >>;.
So far I was happy that i was the only Cloud. xD later those other two came in and it got weirdly uncomfortable. Why is that? o-o;;
Went to the Kingdom Hearts Panel xD it was fun. I kept wanting to go up and stuff but I only got the guts to go up once. CAUSE I'M A CHICKEN AND I KNOW IT. Someone needs to help me with my self confidence xD;. The photoshoot was crazy afterwards. xD I think Tes had too much fun pairing people up for the photoshoot... All the pictures I've seen of myself are pretty much horrible cause I was laughing in a girly way and it was just... urgh.
Decided to run around. I don't exactly remember what I did except walk and wander. I remember going to the Artist Alley to a) Meet a few people I met on the SOAP forums and b) Visit Kina cause she was selling my art xD.
I also remember waiting for the elevator, but it was coming so slow, me and my gang (Autumn (Squall) and Daphne (Aeris)) descided to climb the stairs. We climbed to the VERY top to find the top door locked... Then we discovered the the other floor the convention was on was just one below us. So, i broke down and literally CRIED at the top of the stairs. people took pictures because they thought it was funny gonk (me dressed as Cloud... crying -_-;; )
Anyway, continued to wander around. Witnessed a lot of Tes' little... events. xD; Namily the male!Halloween Sora make out >>. I was sitting 2 feet away but I didn't see anything other then people filming and taking pictured xD (think that was on the second day though)
A lot of people suprisingly knew me O_o; I got a lot of 'Are you Baka Mandy?' from people.
Continued to wander around... forget what other magical events happened inbetween.
At dinner xD and talked with the Tsubasa group. I love them 8D I also love the kid that was dressed as Fai. When I did work at Entertainment Ink, we used to have long conversations about FF, KH and other games and anime xD he was good company. Afterwards we (Autumn, Daphne and I) all went out in the back to play in the garden xD.
Afterwards... wandered. I actually pretty much forget what I did half the time xD; I know I went to a few of the panels, 404s and the masqurade especially. other then that... yeah, i don't remember.
Then it was time for the dance. xD Waiting for it was a headache. GAWD it was noisy. Funny how when we actually get in the dance it was worst. xDDD but my headache went away.
I tried to dance at first, but I didn't find the music to my dancing tastes so i decided to sit out xDDD. Daphne ended up building up her confidence and eventually started dancing with the male Cloud (His name is Thomas. THOMAS THE TRAIN! Sorry xD that's what I thought when I first heard his name...)
I decided after a while that the lights were fun to watch so i made my way to the ledge where the spot light was on and admired the lights and stuff... that is... until people started trying to get me to dance.
First it was this Gaara and some other naruto cosplayer >_o i don't... nessessarily remember their names. Gomen. Then Kadaj joined and left a couple of times. They managed to get me on my feet but I kept running away and bumped into a rather large guy who then was like '=D you're cute! Dance with me!' (he actually DID say that). I eventually managed to crawl back over to my rock (the spot light stage) and managed to form unmovable stone. That is, until Demyx (Nic) came over.
here goes the little memory that I'll NEVER forget.
He picked me up bridal style and started to dance with me in his arms. This didn't happen just once, he did it twice. I feel bad though now xD because i was going 'put me down >.<;' cause I was all embarrassed and stuff. I think i was a little mean T.T
After a little while I came out of the dance room to hide xD. I ended up hanging around the FF/KH group in the hall. Only then was i told that everyone except for me and daphne were practically drunk. xD I realized it was 3 am so i called my dad for him to come pick me up just as everyone went out to timmies.
Went home and slept <3.
Next day~ I was dressed as teh crossdressing Cloud. I was also late xD
For the first 4 hours I think i spent listening to what happened the night before, sharing dance stories and looking for Autumn.
Not much happened except for more wandering, AMV contest and closing ceremonies I guess. And Tes' Halloween Sora make out. And Cloud make out xDDD So sunday was pretty un eventful.
Parting was sad. xD I remember hanging out with everyone in the front entrance. Overal, I was really happy having met a lot of new people <3 yay!
Btw, for the forgotten Cloud sword... It still sits in my basement, unfinished xDDD. I'll get it done one day, just to stick it on my wall.

Haha yes Ac3 was da bomb, I can't wait for Anime North
Lets see Saturday my mom dropped me off at about 11pm. I bumped into a couple of people I knew and I found Mandy and Daphne on the couch. Course then we went to the KH panel (Oh gosh Mandy posted most of everything XD lol) Omg you forgot about the Otaku Dating game. Gahhh one of the guys who was up there (Asian, well built army guy, named Jon) is on my msn and he keeps hitting on me on purpose. He wants us to get "Married" X.X; he also says Im his "Dream Girl" n stuff XD Too bad there were'nt many people up for the Otaku Dating game, it wouldve been funny to see a girl go up there.
The dance gave me a headache as well, too much j-pop and techno like music. I didnt dance for 3/4's of the dance and stuck with Mandy, but then I got bored and decided to go dance with everyone else. I regret it though, cuz then I was really worn out and had a headache.
Yeah I must've went to the dealers room 20 times XD I couldnt make up my mind on what to buy so I finally bought a cloud shirt and his pants. Going to Timmy's was like a mistake XD omg poor Aiden and that biaaatch at Timmy's. One thing walking there was a pain in the a** I was frozen stone cold, I didnt bring a heavy enough jacket, so Aiden kept me warm XD That guy Snake is like super cool, he had his Psp and played some Evanescence on the way there. There was 2 other girls with us and Aidens/Thomas' drunk friend (Gaaah he's an idiot XD ) I think he wanted to get hit by a car XP Yeah you guys probably heard the story about Timmy's and that mean lady. She fricken kicked us out! we didnt do anything! Anyways as before it was freezing so the drunk guy (Dont know his name) gave me his like non warming sweater XP, so Aiden traded his huge a** jacket for the sweater. I swear I could like kneel down and hide my head in the jacket and I'd be a walking jacket it was so big! Then whatshisname tried to climb up this pole thing and ended up breaking it and making some sort of bell alarm go off. XD When we got back, me, Aiden and one of the girls (Forgot her name XP crying I cant remember many names) went back to her hotel room where other girls were sleeping, so we played crazy eights. Then we slept, but someone forgot to turn on the heat! gonk My toes were like popsicles. I was glad to wake up after only 3 hours of sleep to go back down and start the day. I went to this room where they were playing an anime series (Forgot what its called) but it was cute, where these guys are trying to make this goth girl into a propper lady so they can stay in the mansion. then after watching that, I went to where they were playing the FMA movie and found thomas and Aiden, and so I watched the movie (Good movie). What else hmm watched the AMV's, 404's rocked, I looooved the maquerade. Yes Fai kid rocks (nicky) I saw him in Tes' and Lisa's japanese class. He's oh so cute! Next time I see him Im giving him a huuug. The Tsubasa Chronicles skit was the best! I nearly cried when I had to leave. Im like "Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I must go... I dont wannaaaaaaaaaa."
Haha Tes, I was one of the people to take pics of you making out with hot emo Sora on the couch XD Your yaoi-ing everywhere! Influenced me so bad haha! XD Anime North Should be ffuuuuunn! lol

HOMGSOLAET.
*cough*
Well, anyway, on with the reminissing memories of AC3.
I woke up at like, six AM and was hyped. Like, vibrating hyped. I had two of my friends going with me to sleep over and we couldn't eat. xD Pre-con jitters or something, but it was hilarious trying to watch us eat. Me mum said she'd expect us to explode or something.
Around seven, I was running around trying to put together my cosplay, freaked out when I thought I lost the wig, and then freaked out some more because part of my cosplay was MELTING. Srsly. My Yzak cosplay was left over the heater and the glue MELTED all over the belt. So we had a fun time cleaning that up, and left in a jiffy around nine.
We got to the con a bit after it opened, so all the lines were gone and we could go in no problem. Met up with a few friends from Ridgemont and hung out a bit, not much happened in the beginning.
I remember going to the Anime Jeperoady (I fail at spelling. D: ) and laughing my a** off. xD One of my friends, Mel, won one of the rounds and got a free DVD of Excel Saga.
After that, it got really blurry. There was the Yaoi Panel which rocked my hardxcore/supremely fake white boots off, The Cosplay Twister (I swear there was some Greed/Cloud/Sasori/Yzal orgy going on in there), Anime Name That Tune, The 404s Performance on both days (I felt so proud because they had read all of my lines I put in there. xD "DUO, GET OFF, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!") and last but not least, the Naruto Photoshoot. xD I swear I'll eventually post the whole thing on YouTube.
I met so many awesome people, including Tes and my uberawesome buddies Sebastian and Rebecca! xD Rock on in that Gundam yaoi world! (I still thank Sebastian for letting me buy that Athrun and Shinn folder for school. ;.; My Religion teacher loves it.)
People I regret not talking to enough there... Autumb, actually. xD I wanted to go up to her and go "SQUAAALLL! *glompglompglomp*", but my wits didn't permit me. Oh, and I didn't see Kay enough either. ;.; Actually, come to think of it, I never really saw much of anyone besides the few random people. xDD *lonesome*
Oh, almost forgot about the dance. xP It was okay, I only recognized like, two or three songs, but... there was too much of the same kind. D: The Macarena was a nice touch, but many of the songs requested on SOAP never made it through. ESPECIALLY INITIAL D. THERE WAS A LACK OF INITIAL D. D: That made me horribly sad. And DJ Naru snapped at me when I apparently asked him if he had "so and so songs". ;.;
So, overall, I had oodles of fun. Masquerade was pwnsome, and I kind of regret not going in it. But looking back on it, I'm glad I didn't. xD Next AC3 though, I'll be Train Heartnet from Black Cat and maybe even Renton Thurston from Eureka Seven. x3 Can't wait!
*...fingers eventually fall off from all the typing*

WHOOHOO TRAIN HEARTNET! I'm actaully thinking about being Sven ^-^ *will dye my hair green and evrything!*
And I am so sad, cause I was actaully the one who planned the Naruto Photoshoot, but my mum came at the time it started and I couldn't go cause I had to check-in to the hotel room and bring everything up and by the time I got back down, the shoot was over T.T
