OK then, lets see how much I can remember!

Friday

Ah my God, that greatcoat took up 3/4 of my suitcase just about!

Before I left (I had been struggling on this part because I try and be inventive) I managed to know what I wanted to put on my sign - [link]

During the traveling we were stuck for about 30 minutes on the M1...then when we got moving again all we saw were the burnt out remains of a Mini

So on Friday I arrived at Victoria Coach Station to find nobody to meet me, and it turned out and Jonny had gone to Victoria TRAIN Station to pick me up, so that was an interesting half an hour of arriving in London

Oh here's something nice btw. As soon as we got to Trafalgar Square some PCSOs started handing out leaflets of a gay person who'd been murdered in a homophobic attack. Now what else would say WELCOME TO LONDON?

Well afterward I got to meet all of her wonderful friends who are now also my friends A lot of us stayed up all night so in the end I went a day and a half without sleep once we came back on Saturday.

Saturday

So at about 5.20am several of us (the insomniacs) made our way to Baker Street station and got up to some antics in front of the staff which can be seen in one of my deviations here [link] until 6am when the tubes started running. We managed to get there for about maybe 8am and had to wait for 2 hours and 15 minutes before we could go in to the main expo. Although one of the expo staff saluted me which was awesome. Now I dunno whether it was the heat, the exhaustion, or the lack of food in my stomach but I suddenly began feeling like I wanted to go throw up and felt really ill in the line after we got our tickets. It was only after we started moving again that I felt slightly better, and when I got some food in my stomach from the overpriced Upper Crust that I felt perfect again. But yeah, thankfully I was alright again. Saturday was so so busy though, there must have been at least 50,000 people there this year. So not a great deal got done by way of fun as on Sunday, but I did have fun after that whole sickness episode. After I'd eaten and come back from the toilet a group of people started calling out to Captain Jack Harkness and I turned and waved at them and then they kept shouting as I went "WHY DID YOU LET IANTO DIE?!" and I felt quite sheepish XD. I met Tom Baker and when I told him my name he said something like "Ash? What is that is that short for something?" Only afterward did I think of a retort which was "Yes it's like Tom is short for Thomas." He looked quite unnerved by me tbh as shown in the picture took [link]

Can't really remember much of Saturday, but I do remember meeting a Doctor after a while (), I also remember that the greatcoat weighed heavily on my shoulders all day compared to Sunday, which makes me think it was the tiredness. did my fave shot of the whole expo of me which was so awesome - [link] so thanks to him for taking that for me . Then almost straight after that we met a Captain Jack Harkness and her friends again because I recall seeing them earlier in the day and we took this nice photo [link] . Plus she also got out Haribo rings and started proposing to Ianto and me, so I asked if they wanted me to jazz our one up a bit, so when she asked I kissed her, for which I was lucky she didn't slap me really. The rest of the time she sat on my knee for a while. Uhm after that I just remember everyone curled up in a corner asleep in some cases while I sat awake still. Then we went back to 's house and her eyes were hurting so me and two of the girls (Khaleda and Ichi) went out to go find eyedrops for her while we were still in cosplay. It meant Khaleda's skirt kept flying up in the wind and lechers kept looking >.< so I gave her my top shirt to wear over her which stopped it thankfully. After that I remember uhhh...nodding off and waking up at 1am to find everyone still awake and wondering when and how I nodded off, then more sleep I think XD.

Sunday

Sunday was a lot quieter than Saturday thankfully so it wasn't as hot and crowded for one. In the morning I made sure to eat something before we set off this time >.> and went with the later people. Before we left me and Connor filmed Jake doing various things with a horse head on, which can also be viewed on facebook.

I spent a lot of my time hanging around with a Dalek this day just so people might recognise me more and I'd get more attention haha. Whenever I hugged someone again, I mainly picked them up which made half the girls squeal XD I gave a piggy back at one point I remember. Also I remember this one girl who shouted "CAPTAIN" and ran up to me to hug me and I caught her and picked her up as well. But for most of the day I was walking around getting photos and hugs and stuffing myself with junk food etc, was fun .

I was also filmed tongue kissing a guy for the girls' pleasure, but it was too dark because the clocks went back on Sunday haha so I don't know if they'll upload it or not.

Monday

Me and Jake did yaoiness as can be seen in several of the photos in my gallery Was awesome haha cause several of them turned out to be quite cute. My fave is this one which took [link] . We now have the nicknames 'Mummy' and 'Daddy' because we were washing up while everyone else was lazing. I'm Daddy of course. But yeah, Monday was mainly about resting and having fun as a group of friends. I was even lip syncing to Paramore songs off of 's phone which amused some of them . Uhm we also had a sleeping bag race between and which can be seen on facebook in two parts.

When we were at the bus station all the girls were sad to see me go and I was with them, they made my weekend truly awesome, and so did the guys (who had already left by then), and I was surprised when Khaleda came onto the bus and said something like "I told them I wanted to come and say goodbye to my lover." which I couldn't help but laugh at if I'm honest. Apparently they ALL wanted to say it but then it might not have worked, though knowing me it would have, being the desirable male I am *cough*. OMG there was this drunk guy on the bus who I only really noticed after Khaleda had come on to say goodbye to me because he started talking to me about what she had said...then he talked to himself for the entire journey just about...so I had ranting drunk person interrupting my ipod goodness.

Other Points

Can I just say this about both National Express coaches and several buses in general. MAKE YOUR FUCKING SEAT DISTANCE ONE INCH MORE SO MY KNEES ARE NOT GOING TO BREAK FROM LACK OF LEGROOM.

All in all I kissed 7 people at the expo this time, 3 guys, 4 girls.

I got mistaken to be John Barrowman TWICE. Probably one of THE best parts of my weekend.

So thanks to Sophie, Jonny, Connor, Jake, Ichi, Selina, Nemo, Kheleda, Tina, Phil, Paulo and anyone else who I forget for making the weekend amazing

Future Expo

I should be going to the next May MCM Expo with Kevin as Axel and Roxas. Typical that when I want to premiere my Jack Harkness costume, most of the Torchwood and Doctor Who fans are at Hub 3, but oh well, can't help clashes.
