Yesterday my family and I went to Hamilton for Armageddon! (actually, later I was going to split up with my family and go to Armageddon with my friends.) A portion of you would be thinking as you read this post, what is Armageddon? Firstly, it is not a movie. It's a convention for gamers, otakus, die-hard movie/show fans, people with an artistic flaw and an amazing sense of geekiness..
When my family and I rode down the roads of Hamilton in our grey Odyssey, our first stop was McDonalds to have our lunch since we didn't eat any of our snacks in the car. We all ordered the usual; dad with McGrilled, mum craving the Fillet-O-Fish burger, my sister with her Happy Meal of chicken nuggets (she's younger than me, so that's normal of her), and finally me, with the unhealthy choice of the famous cheeseburger combo. Sigh. But to make me more hungry, dad ordered two apple pies, which mum and dad ate later instead of me and mum.
After eating the scrumptious meal inside of our car, my parents dropped me off at the center where Armageddon was currently being held. Outside it didn't take me even a minute to find my friends who were looking and guiding after me.
Later on after we gave our tickets to the man, the convention was flooded with cosplayers. Princess Peach, Ghostbusters, and even a dalek! (of course there was a person inside controlling it.) I went around and examined the stalls and found that 97% of them were selling cosplay costumes and anime merchendise. And as I was looking around I saw Janet Varney and Meagan Smith. It actually brightened my day to even only get a glimpse of them both.
I bought Fairy Tail's Lucy Heartfilia's Leo celestial key and lots of American food like Lucky Charms cereal, Ring pop, PopTarts and Jelly Belly confectionery. Man, I can now say that I was on a sugar rush! I didn't have much money given to me but still managed to keep a biggish-small quantity of money.
When we concluded my parents picked me up and we went back to our home tired and hazy after our big trip which ate our time and money. Phew!
