My cousins are here visiting on vacation, a trip that they do twice a year. It works out pretty well becuase the twins are my age and the younger one, who happens to be taller than all of us, is my sister's age. Yesterday was the twins' birthday, so Leila and I were coxed into attending nerd-fest in San Diego, beter known as ComicCon. I was really not excited to walk around with Yugioh kids all day, and my cousins said HAD to dress up as some sort of comic character or else it would be 'no fun'. So I decided to humor them and dress up as princess amidala from the recent starwars series. I was actually pretty proud of my all-white get up that I put together the night before from stuff in my closet. The twins dressed up as characters from their favorite anime cartoon which allowed them to let loose..it was the first time I had seen them wearing short(ish) skirts and makeup!
Instead of batteling traffic, we rode the train south, which was my first time on a train and after that I made a resolution to take the train more often. The ComicCon show turned out to be better than I had expected; everyone had really interesting, detailed costumes, we met illustrators who had cool stories behind the inspirations for their stories and I nabbed a bunch of free stuff. I was wrong about the nerd-fest, I had alot of fun and more than glad I went.
