Manifest 2005

This is the first girl that let me take her picture. Actually, everyone I asked did. People spend a long time on these costumes. I was looking at some stuff at some vendor's stall later, and she walked up and stood really close, like, her shopping bag was jabbing into my legs. I tried to read her pre-booked nametag to find out her name, but I'm pretty sure that it said "Whatever". I decided that her name is Whitney.



There were a lot of people dressed as Chi from Chobits, which I have actually read! This was the best Chi costume that I saw, and I only could have been more convinced had she been a little younger.



I thought that this girl looked cute, so I asked to take her photo. Some guy that was with her offered to take a picture of us both. This was a good trick that I will have to remember. Y'see, I would have taken a full-length picture, but he took the one above. The next time that I don't want some guy to take a picture of a girl that I'm accompanying who is wearing a short skirt, I will offer to take the photo.

Incidentally, at least a dozen people made reference to my shirt. Everything from, "Hey... it's that guy!" to "Can I take your photo? My friend made a Strong Bad badge, but she left it at home," to "Trogdor!"



I would have liked the sky to have turned out better, but it was really that colour.



I think that it may have been a battle to see who could handicap themselves the most in a Dance Dance Revolution showdown. The girl in the floor-length dress, who held it like that the whole time, won. The game graded her as A, and graded him as E.
