"Don't get my pillow wet"

So. My camping trip started yesterday afternoon, and ended about 3 am this morning.

It starts out with my mom telling me late the night before that we were all going on a 2-day camping trip.

Thanks for the notice.

The next morning, she yells at me to wake up and pack.

When we get there, she and my stepdad get pissed because I didn't bring a couple things I was apparently supposed to.

Might I remind them that they didn't tell me ANYTHING about what I was supposed to pack? I just had to do it from my head, groggy and half-asleep.

So when we get there, I'm feeling a little sick, but I figure I won't bother anyone with it because everyone else seems to be having a good time.

Then around 10 pm they tell us that there's probably a huge storm coming, and possibly a tornado warning.

By the way, my sister and I get to sleep in a flimsy tent. Good night!



So around 3 am, I wake up to eardrum-shattering thunder, to discover that everything in the tent is soaking wet and the tent walls are caving in from the rain.

I wake up my sister and we run to the smelly public bathroom outside the campsite because we're afraid the walls are going to fall down.

Eventually my sister wakes up my mom, sound asleep in her warm, dry car all to herself.

We do our best to dry off, wrap up in the wet towels and drive home.

My sister and I are huddled in the car; shivering, crying, soaking wet and terrified.

All I want to do is get some rest. I wrap the thin, damp towel closer around me and pick up the pillow that was on the floor, propping it against the window and leaning against it, closing my eyes.

My mom looks at us- shaking, miserable, tears running down our faces.

And she says to me

"Don't get my pillow wet."



So that's the story of the last time I will ever go camping.

Top 10 Worst Cosplays

Since Fan Expo is coming up in August, I thought I'd warn you about the kinds of things you might see.

These are not for the faint of heart.

I'll also post pictures of the actual character, for comparison.

#10

So this outfit isn't...terrible...but she doesn't seem to be aware that when you wear a wig, IT SHOULD NOT SHOW HALF OF YOUR HAIR.

Also, I can't really tell what character this is a cosplay of, but I'm still pretty positive her shoes are wrong.

Bonus points for your excellent Gollum impersonation.

#9

Actual character:
Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

#8

Actual character:
Grell Sutcliff from Kuroshitsuji.

GADFRAGGIT YOU KILLED MY FAVORITE CHARACTER.

Either that or it's some horrific crossbreed between Grell and Raggedy-Ann.

In that case, nice job.

#7
Mike Haggar from Street Fighter.


#6

Actual character:
Nyan Cat

Sing to tune of Nyan Cat Song:
Fail fail fail fail 
fail fail fail fail fail
fail fail fail fail fail
fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail
fail fail fail fail
fail fail fail fail fail
fail fail fail fail fail
fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail
fail fail
fail fail fail
fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail
fail fail
fail fail fail
fail fail fail fail fail
....
{continue until you give Ceiling Cat a cheezburger}

#5

Actual character:
Pyramid Head from Silent Hill.


...as a maid.

Jesus take the wheel.


#4

Actual characters:
Ryo Bakura (left)
and
Yugi Moto (right), both from Yu-Gi-Oh.

CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

CONSTRUCTION PAPER EVERYWHERE.

#3

Actual character(s?)
One of the eponymous robots from the show Gundam.
I dunno which one, I just posted a random one.

This isn't #1 because it made me laugh, and he might be joking here.

#2

Hunny from OHSHC

I seriously couldn't tell what this was until I saw the picture in the corner.

THAT BUNNY.

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING.

#1

*drumroll*


Actual character:

L from Death Note.

AAAAUUUGGHHH 

KILL IT

KILL IT WITH FIRE.

That hair haunts my dreams, along with the bunny from #2.

I feel like I need to wash my hair from seeing this.


So that about wraps it up. Jesus, I'm a little depressed now.
