What a freakin day.... what a day. I wanted to get this down as fast as I can so I don't forget the juicy details almost to the exact, cuz my brain is so damn stupid THANKS TO SCHOOL!

(This is gonna be a freakin long journal, so when you have the time to read this, then please go for it and good luck finishing it XD)

I'll be sure to update later cuz this is freakin long!!!!!!!!!!!

Update: Now that my head is strait, I'll add some some other things that happened that day. The rest... another day...

OK, the beginning of my day... nah, lets just say that the beginning isn't that important. I'll skip to the part when I got to N. J.
We had so much trouble trying to freakin get there!

FACT: MOST COSPLAYERS FAIL AT DIRECTIONS!!! XD

Everyone was running everywhere like "GO THIS WAY!" "NO THE SHUTTLE IS THAT WAY!!!" "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!?!?!"
Oh man, it was pure chaos! We finally found that stupid shuttle... which was were we FREAKIN STARTED FROM!!!!! But none the less we got to where we were suppose to get off. Then while we were trying to head towards the direction to get to the place, this guy in our cosplay group tried to have a conversation with me. It was odd because I wasnt use to having some random dude try and talk to me. I kept that in the back of my head that I do have hope for getting a BF or somethin...

When we got there, it was a nice small convention. Not too many people, but it wasn't a deserted place if ya know what I mean. I had high hopes that I would see Vic Mignogna there, so my hyper mood was OVER 9000!!!!!!! XD
I was like "WHERE IS HE! WHERE IS HE!!! OMG I AM SO CLOSE TO ACCOMPLISHING MY MISSION!!! IM SO CLOSE! COME ON WHERE IS HE!". My friend Kellie tried to calm me down, and it kind of worked since she had her phone... and I didnt have mine... DAMN YOU DAD!
I ran up the stairs and ran down this hall to a huge room that looked like he would be in. The was a note on the door...
"Vic Migonga will be here..."
Me: YAYYYYY!!!!-
"...at 1:30. Tickets are to be sold at 2:00"
Me: O__O" (Looks at time..... 12:13) WAHHH!!!!!

SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP~

I went on line to buy tickets to see him, not expensive at all, very reasonable. And while I was on line making friends with the person behind me, I finally got to see another RISENBOOL RANGER!

O-M-flippin-G!!!!

We were both fan-girling over Vic and like "OMG he's so AWESOME! RED DAWN!" and stuff. At the same time, I could see people coming up the stares (the stairs are close to where we all lined up to get the tickets F.Y.I.) and I was thinking to myself...

It would be freakin awesome if Vic came up the stares for something or got ready for the panel... that started at 4...

More people came up the stairs, not him... whatever. Talkin with Kellie and new friends until someone catches my eye. For a split second I was like...

"You know... he looks just like Vic Migongna. Perfect cosplay!"

...then I took a good look...

"HOLY SHIZNIT IT'S HIM!"

My heart jumped into my throat. Everything went silent for a second, but it felt like things were moving in slow motion. I started to remember Connecticon 2007, and it shocked me that he looked... exactly the same... all the way down to his hair style and cloathing color... it was amazing...

Someone screams, "VIC MIGNOGNA! OMG!" Everyone starts fan girling over him, even the dudes were like "OMG MAN!". Me and the girl were fan girling the most. We were like "HI HI HI HI HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!", waving at him like crazy, and he was waving at us like crazy.
The panel started at 2 instead of 4, because he is so freakin sweet! He wanted to see everyone and for as long as possible, so instead of 4-7, we had him from 2-7....
5 hours with him!
My brain was throbing, so was my chest and my breathing got heavy. My new Risembool friend tried to calm me down, but I couldnt. While we all were walking down the hall, I saw him talking to someone in the big room. My brain said "HOLY SHIZNIT! IT'S HIM!" but my legs said "TAKE A RIGHT!" and it did. I nearly knocked Kellie over. We ran right inside in sat down.
Front row seats!
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU ASK FOR!?!?!?!??!?

The panel didnt even start and I was already ready to pass out from shock. Everyone was saying hi and hugging him and stuff, but I was hiding behind one of our "on line" friends. Again, them calming me down didnt work. Then she pushes me in front of her and goes, "Quick, hug her before she explodes!". And so he did. As soon as he was hugging me (I dont mean to make that sound sexual XD) my brain finally relaxed. It took a deep breath and said...
"Mission complete..."
NOTE: Nobody and I mean NOBODY can impersionate Vic's hugs. There is nothing better, there is no subsitute for it. It's just.... AGH!!!!! 8D

It was a blast, so many funny puns flying around, funny questions like "Can you make my friend a sandwich?" or "Do you like turtles?". So random and so funny!
At the end of the 2:00 thing me and Kellie were so out of it that we completely forgot to get autographs for my cousin and our friend Jennifer. We both were like "CCRRAAPP!!!"

Kellie ran to get us some snacks, which left me to think about what just happened... and what is happening. I was thinking about all of the other conventions I went to, and how each of those conventions that each lasted three days, couldnt match the 5 hours I was going to have with him. I started to remember how each convention ended in complete disaster because of my parents, but today it was going to end perfectly for once, even if it was too soon. I was so into those thoughts that I started to tear up. For once it wasnt because I was sad, it would be because for a split moment... I was happy.
Then the kid who wanted to start a conversaion earlier came and sat behind me and was talking to me again. He asked why I was crying and I told him the reason. He replied...
"You know what would make your day even better?"
Me: what?
"....you wanna go out?"

........................................................what?

Man did my tears hault. I was so in shock that I didnt know what to do. I was thinking rationally when I started to calm down. I was thikin that
1) I have no idea what he is like.
2) where the heck does he live.
3) I JUST MET THE DUDE!!!!
4)I'm not really looking for anyone now...
So I told him that I couldnt. I thanked him though... and I still do thank him. Even though he kinda made a fast one on me, and most likely it wouldnt work out... it made me happy that I was somewhat pretty, and I just had to try harder if I really wanted one.

OK Skip to the next one...

The next one that started at 4:00 was KICK ASS! I think it was better than the 2:00 one in my opinion. Anywho, again it went off with a hitch! He was talking about the roles he would probably get if he was in the show "Axis Powers Hitalia". He was asked to be either Italy, or America.

DUDE MY TOP 2 CHOICES!

Just for that, I'm spamming the next con by dressing up as either America or Italy and running around with their flag screaming "PASTAAAAA!" or "HAMBERGERRRR!!!" LOL

While he was talking, it started to snow! He got so sidetracked from the snow, that he would sometimes be like "OHHH SNOW!" and like "I WANT TO GO OUT THERE!". Then at one point he goes, "I'm gonna record the snow, be right back!". He dashes out the room, so me still being in hype mode, I ran after him.

Yes, I ran after Vic Mignogna and to see the snow. Kellie was right behind me XD.

Yay, I got to watch and record snow with him ^_^

After that, we all came back to finish the panel, but the rest of the panel kinda got me abit.
He ended up talking about his religion as a Christian, and how he would actually turn down rolls because what the character would do. Sometimes he makes the mistake of choosing that roll and would actually change the lines.

Fact: Vic choose the roll of Kurtz Webber without knowing that he curses alot, so he changed the lines abit to tone it down. He still did a kick ass job.

It proves that you don't have to curse up the wazzoo to get your point across. Then someone asked a really good question.
"If you believe in your faith as a Christian, then why did you choose to play Edward Elric if you knew he was an Atheist?"

He explained that Actors love to play someone that they are not. For example, he is the nicest person ever, so you cant picture him flying around trying to kill everything in his path screaming KAKOROT!!!! It's acting.

Then the thing that got me.....

He went on to say that he doesn't think that Edward isn't Atheist, Vic believes that Ed blames God for alot of things that happened to him.

I thought to myself that I do think that way.

He continues to say that eveytime something bad happens to someone, people would usually shake their fist at God and go "Why are you doing this to me!" and soon enough they wouldn't believe anything is up there.

That is JUST like me!

I started to think, that maybe I truly am not an atheist at all. I just have so much hate and anger towards him that I tried to shun him away from my life. I only looked at the bad things that happened to me, and become blind to the may things that he's done for me, and not even a thank you for like years. I don't mean being on my knees and praying, but like feeling thankful for him.
I was touched... deeply. Really deeply. I started to think about what happened to me on thanksgiving weekend, and every other bad thing that had happened to me. Then I thought about the good things like today and the day I first joined the anime club. I never thanked him...... never......

The panel was over and he again was doing autograghs. He called Jennefer on her phone to wish her happy bithday and stuff. He's so sweet, he gave her an autograph and stuff XP. Then me... oh lord me.
I went to get my cousin her autograph, and then I was gonna ask him some stupid question or a request to do something goofy.... but I didnt have it in me. The topic really REALLY got me. I was telling him how I had a bad week last week or so... and the choking up started. My brain was like hurry up!!! I told him that I sucked at it so I couldnt do it myself,

so.... I aked him to pray for me.
Oh boy did the quivers come.

He gladly said yes and he teddy bear hugged me and prayed for me. (While in the teddy bear hug) I wish I could remember what he said exactly, but the key thing he said was

"Please watch over her and take the bad things away from her".

I cried abit more.

Just to put it out there, when people say "In Jesus name, Amen." to me, it's like sticking thread though a needle, not tying it, and expecting to sow up a hole in a shirt. It is meaningless to me. The best high class preacher wouldn't make a different to me....
But his.....
His was that knot in the needle. It sowed up that hole in my heart that was damaged by complete anger and hatred. He squeezed me abit and let me go. OMG it really felt like he squeezed out so many bad stuff out of me, like squeezing muck out of a sponge. I felt.... really good. I really went back to my seat and cried abit more. I really needed that.... Thank You Vic...

When he left... he left his food on the table....
Reader: You didnt....
Yeah, I took it.... XD the chicken and fries were good! As for his drink... I kinda did a weird over fangirl thing and saving that in a zip lock bag in my drawer.
........yeah, I be obsessed with him like that. That was basicly my day.

SHOUT OUT TO KELLIE! She won a award for her costume!!!!!!!!!!!!!
