You know its here again!

Its that time of year again. I am planning my cosplay for the next year and trust me, the list isn’t shrinking. So right now im posting all the costumes that I want to do and a picture. Then I would like EVERYONE TO POST a comment on what they think I should do. My poor mother, I hope she doesn’t see this…ever….

- Christmas Town Kairi (w/ Erica)

- Aoishi Shinamori (w/ Konishii)

- Tsubaki (w/ Sani Caranza and others)

- Susumu: Peace Maker Kurogane (by myself)

- Sebastian: Kuroshitsuji (with group?! >.>)

Halloween is coming up and I find myself having billions of things on my plate and yet not enough time to do them. PMX is coming up and I still have a costume to finish. Im also a bit worried with my credit bill coming in this month, something tells me its not going to be pretty. Either way I will speak about that later.

Inu Yasha: The Final Act is on its fourth episode and running. Forgive me for being a fan girl, but let me start at the beginning. My dad is moving to Seattle in the winter, and I am being forced to remove all my belongings either to my mothers or my dorm, or it goes to Seattle with them. It is this that leads me to find my old play station game Inu Yasha: a Feudal Fairy Tale. Now I remember playing this game in middle school, and it felt like a piece of my child hood coming back. I hoped onto the play station 2 down stairs and began to try and beat the game I never finished. (I beat the other inu yasha game twice over…) It was a blast. I don’t know why but I felt so happy, like a child. It was like reliving a child hood weekend.

Anyway this lead me to research when the new inu yasha series would be airing. Low and behold, the first episode aired on October 3^rd. They are now four episodes in. I have caught up but I have to say, the episodes run at an extremely fast pace which lead me to think that they are just trying to get this over and done with and cram as much of the manga into one episode as possible, which of course takes out a big chunk of awesomeness. So don’t be surprised when you find important characters dying in episode 2.

Things begin to slow down in episode 3, however I continue to think I am missing something with Shippo and this weird demonic sword chick. I also am shocked at how much emphasis they put on the Sesshomaru and Kagura love relationship in the first three episodes, the entire time I keep thinking about how obvious it is he has feelings for her. I *spoiler* mean when she kicks the bucket in episode two,*end*  Its her name that inspires wrath in him awakening the true power behind tenseiga. Again the entire time I cant help but giggle like a school girl.

Now the series isn’t what it used to be, maybe time has done that to it…and they again, seem to be rushing a lot of what makes inu yasha such a great series. Another thing that makes the series noticeably different is that the art style in general is just, more high definition and there over all you get a different feeling from it. I will also swear on my life the some of the voices have changed.

Because I love her so much, and yes this is the character then my cosplay alias is based off, Kikyou makes her stunning return back to normal. Something I don’t recall her doing in the Manga. Of course, she kicks ass and has the perfect plan about how exactly to defeat Naraku. After telling Inu Yasha this she vanishes taking Kohaku with her. Yay friends!!! Her leading trait in the old series I will admit, was her extreme bitterness and shall I put it lightly, bitchyness. That entire aspect has seemed to clear up almost entirely, and I cant help get the feeling she’s just different. Over all though, I think everyone is just different, or perhapse its many many years passing sine I’ve seen it. I will have to go back and see.

On the other note…cosplay?

I mean come on, my name is Kikyou – lover for a reason. I really need to cosplay her once in my life.

PMX

Hey Guys,

                Just wanted to let you know that if any of you plan on going to PMX and need a room, we have two spot for girls only open. Contact me ASAP if you want in. The cost would be about $40 for the whole weekend. We don’t bite, honest!!!

- Xmas Gathering:

-          Status: Planning.

-          Date:  December  (date will be posted later)

-          Location: As always, Laguna Niguel Regional Park…unless by some god given misfortune it will be relocated. Back up Location will be put up later should it become a concern.

-          This Years Activities: So far last years activities (Secret Santa, Costume Contest and the Candy Cane Hunt) are all still on. We are open to new activities however and encourage you to submit ideas NOW!!!

-           Attendance: Invites should be sent out soon along with the RSVP date. I will post a new journal when the invites have been sent. If you want to participate in the Secret Santa you must RSVP by this date no exceptions. Late RSVPers can still come however, and yes – you are aloud to invite friends however previous notification to either Tora or Myself is needed first.

-           Potluck: As always this event is a potluck. After the invites have been sent out I will have posted a list on my LJ with people who have not only RSVPed but the items of their choice that they are bringing. WHEN YOU RSVP YOU MUST SIGN UP TO BRING AN ITEM OF FOOD OR UTENSILS. Again the list will be displayed on my LJ of all RSVP attendees and their potluck item.

-           Fees?: the site costs $90 dollars for electricity and reservation costs. We ask each person to pay $5 or more if they want. However we will ask at least $5 from everyone. If our attendance rating is high enough, we will lower the fee, but this will be discussed further closer to the date.

-           Secret Santa Info: Last year we had a lot of questions on just how much one can spend on their secret Santa. Tora and I need to re-discuss this for this coming year. Moreover, with your invite I believe we will be sending a form for everyone to fill out so that your secret Santa knows what to get you or at least has an idea. We ask that you fill this out and turn it in with you RSVP ASAP!

-           Donations?: PLLLLLLLEEEEAAASEEE!! It doesn’t have to just be money, we except other material things as well. If you have the means to donate items such as still packaged anime, or unwrapped action figures we would love you eternally!!! This is not a requirement though greatly appreciated. Also money would be lovely.

-           What to Wear?: So keep this in mind, all this info is coming off past years. Really you could wear a Santa hat and be well-off but this is a CHRISTMAS COSPLAY GATHERING. Be creative guys, we all are cosplayers.

-           Other: I haven’t talked to Tora about this but if you are in need of a carpool or anything else, also include that, because I wan to try and get everyone here who wants to be here. Also I am thinking about having photographers as well so if you know any good photographers please feel free to invite them. There are many other events and ideas I have but of course, im only one person within a partnership, so I will tell you about them after I talk to my partner Tora about them.

Sleep over people: please contact me ASAP!!!

P.M.X.

Status: GOING

but not buying a badge…hotel will cost me a fortune already. Yay poor college student.

Costumes:

-Gilbert/ Raven: Pandora Hearts

-Canaan: Canaan

-Tsubaki (casual): Soul Eater

How im getting there:

I NEED A RIDE!!! I could possibly take the train but it costs mullah and I just don’t look forward to lugging cosplay on that. I am probably going to end up taking the train anyway up on Friday after class then I will take the train back Sunday afternoon. But it would be waaay more covenant if I had a ride.

Cosplay status:

-Canaan: COMPLETE!!! Omg something I have done before a con! Hehe...just a few major modifications here and there, and buying a necklace, other then that…she’s done!

-Gilbert: thank god I have the wig, haven’t even started on the coat or shirt….have the pants and shoes at least too…teehee…..DAMNIT HE HAS ELABORATE GLOVES…*sob*

-Tsubaki: Good Morning Good-Will! The Stefani says hello…

 

P.S. UPDATED COSPLAY LIST!

Whats up with Stefani? I dunno lets find out.

Im not sure how to type the story of my life in the past few weeks other then in sections….if you haven’t heard, im three weeks into college now, and er…lets just say my life has taken a drastic turn.

Moving in.

Easy enough, right now my room is a mess but my room mates are nice. They are party people, and well…not saying I don’t like to party. I just haven’t been in the high that mot freshmen college students seem to have. Maybe its them trying to cover up their fear and sadness underneath. I dunno but I don’t think im hiding it very well…guess that’s my next subject.

School.

I miss high school. Needles too say, it was easy and I had my nitch there. Im not sure if I can really bring myself to tell this out in person to anyone, but im not comfortable here yet. I am constantly worrying about my grades, and im finding that I miss being home more then ever. I knew this would happen…the night before I moved in, I cried. I don’t like admitting that im not sure im fine. But…it’s the truth. I want to say im fine, but classes are just keeping me on edge. I truthfully am so excited to get my career started, but I feel it is pulling me away from cosplay and anime and things I love. Im sure ill find a way to include it all, but I do so miss high school theater. It was easy there…and I knew my place.

Well lets stop blabbing about my swamp of emotions and lets start with;

Class number 1; voice and movement- my teacher is nice, I love the class. It is all movement and Shakespeare. I feel it is a call that I really can just forget everything else and work on my craft. My class mates are the same people who are in all of my classes so I get to know them pretty quickly, but I feel excluded from their circles. Seems they all are getting along like they’ve known eachother for years…personally I just cant bring myself to try and even mesh. Whatever the case, I do so enjoy the class. It’s a time to focus on me.

Class number 2; Costumes-…..im happy in this class. I can honestly say that. ITS UBER AWSOME. Seriously….it makes this cosplayer happy. You wouldn’t believe the tips I’ve gotten just from being in that class. Im ready to tackle a thousand cosplays muwahahhaha.

Class number 3: math - …..this is a taboo subject. Thus I will be moving on.

Class number 4: philosophy- aside from the fact my teacher speak like Kermit (which I will admit is very amusing) I do so enjoy his enthusiasm and blunt way of teaching. He makes the class simple enough and yet I have managed to fail two of his quizzes…im not sure how I did this….but well...its cause for alarm.

Class number 5: production – this class is made to tell students they are not good enough I swear. I get the real point they made this class but the way they run it is to smash everyone’s hopes and dreams. Sorry pals, but you take up enough of my time with worry…I will cosplay and I will double major and I will study abroad despite what you say!!! Though….i feel like every Monday I am forced to pat the backs of my theater major room mates who all seem so down and out…really, they will do it if they try.

Class number 6: acting – EMOTIONAL! Amazing and emotional, this class makes me really think every time. It is a class that I feel I can accomplish anything, I dunno but I really do enjoy it. I just cant describe it, it makes me happy. Though these “who am I assignments” and “practice logs” are going to drive me insane.

I HAVE NO TIME!!! none…grrr when will I be able to sew again?! never.

 Nooo..

Roommates:

Really my only complaint is that they are lazy and don’t clean. But that’s only because I have serious issues with non tidy settings. I need things to be clean…need! So I guess its my fault. Working on it…they are overly nice and respect when I want my space. Though its for them and because of them, I try to be social.

Homework: when will it end…….?

Cosplay:

Just to let you know, just because im in college and struggling for time does not mean I am not still planning the Christmas party! You bet yourself its still on. Tora and I will not fail you!!!

As for my other plans, ALA and PMX. I have money saved up just for them and I plan to use it souly on them.

Which brings me to my new point;

Any new animes/ mangas I can get into. I find myself needing more distractions….

JULIA GOD WHY DID YOU GET ME INTO SOUL EATER?!!! I HATE YOU….

*sob* and reverie…what is my life coming too..

So that’s my life thus far. Hope the read was entertaining. It took a load off my chest that’s for sure.

Why is it I feel like my life is going to bloody hell at the moment?

I mean, im trying to plan outings with friends and stuff and still balance work at the same time, but I have no motivation to start packing my items, or make those long lists of things I need for college why?

People WERE NOT KIDDING when they said time fly’s, and live while you can!

So I trying to plan last minute photo shoots, sewing days, bonfires, and errr…other stuff. I have one or two weeks until Camp Bravo and then three days after that, I get to go to move into the dorms and from there fret endlessly over “college”. Trust me, I know people reassure me about studying and other stuff, that it all will be fine. But im rather scared shitless. I don’t think I’ve ever been this opposed to things.

Anyway so I was sitting in this funk, thinking about how I should probably go through my clothing and get that part of my packing and sorting done, since it’s the largest part. When I, as many of you can guess, I got distracted.

D.Gray man anime just looked so appealing.

So I was watching episode 73-78 in which, Kanda develops a pretty sparkly twin blade trick, Allan makes his “living” status known, and the Earl levels Edo with one hit.

Needless to say, I got a little excited because to be honest, my love for the earl and his relationship with the Noah family is just, over the top. Why do I always choose the randomest characters to fall madly in fangirlism for?

Earl: heavy, both of you have gotten so big.

Tyki: hey are you even listening?!

Rhode: the download is 73% done, Tyki.

Tyki: oh?!

Earl: good job rhode.

Rhode: I want a years worth of candy for this.

Earl: speaking of work, Tyki-pet didn’t finish his.

Tyki: NO WAY, hes back?! Left arm and all?!

Earl: alive and kicking, he got in my way just splendidly.

Tyki: ah hell….

Sorry. I believe this manga-ka is pure brilliance. I realized I want to cosplay Tyki because to be honest…HOLY SHIT IS HE HOT! And well…if I get gold contacts for gilbert then I can just take off the jacket and jabot, slick my wig back or even let it down and put crosses on my head and walla, tyki cosplay. God I love my life. Anyway….i want another photo shoot day, but im not sure when im free until tomorrow so ill be posting a new thread with free dates. Hopefully my parents wont throw a fit.


other then that....i guess this picture had some contributing factors to my depression...

W>T>F>.....not fair...i have failed.....failled....who is this earl and why do i feel so defeated. i must remake the earl once again. (sob*) 


how i feel.....=

 

Love all,

Thanks for reading my mindless ranting.

p.s. I finally uploaded a years worth of photos onto cosplay.com as well as updated my costumes and other stuff on the site, and I updates my myspace profile as well. The only thing I need to do now is get back to actually posting in my role plays, go get fabric to actually start the costumes I need to make/ fix….and er….pack for college.

I have a feeling it wont be till the last minute.

Delightful Cons to D.C. to D.Gray Man to Dangerous Premiers to Despicable Darts.

Anime expo:

Was fun. I could spend hours writing a full summary on my time…but really it was costume change after another, and photo shoot to photo shoot. Ill give a bullet list of high lights though…^.^

-picking up Konishii and driving up to L.A., the whole way cursing the fact that we cosplay.

-the countless strawberry shortcake ice creams I had.

-Vic not being on the guest of honor list for once.

-cosplaying yu-gi-oh and all the fan hording it caused.

-stay up all hours of the night to style yugioh wigs…once again I have shared another brilliant sunrise with my pal Kristen…Jennifer fell asleep while we styled her wig. XD

-my room situation being an absolute mess of confusion.

-BATH TUB PARTY!!! Cosplay in the bath tub while pool was closed and splashing tora…discovering a new way to loose weight…water erosion.

-food, the constant snacking

-finding out Elise not only is my Alice…she is now my Jasper too. YAY MYSPACE RP.

-realizing no matter how many times I say I wont go to AX next year I end up going.

-Re-establishing the fact I have the best friends ever.

Washington D.C. – SAY HELLO MR. PRESIDENT! STEFANI IS IN TOWN!

Dates 8-13.

The trip was just me and my parents, ive learned what its like to be an only child for three weeks. It was werid and I found that I enjoy having a sister way more then not. But that never will be said again. Now, the 8^th was just travel and I was exhausted from AX still so it was just tiresome to even move after that.

The entire trip we just kept going and going and going. First day there we got up early and went to the holocaust Museum which made me depressed and rather thoughtful on many things, however it was really a motivating experience and it inspired many new ideas. The next thing we did, I actually cant remember though I think we just sort of went around the National Mall. We saw the Flag that inspired the National Anthem which I found out wasn’t our anthem until the 1900 century. Well, well, well, we learn something new every day. After that we went to Georgetown for dinner at Tony and Joes crab shake. I had lobster which tasted brilliant. I mean over the top brilliant. The only down side was that they didn’t cut off the head for me. The town is really a must see in D.C., it is all old antique looking yet, along main street all the buildings are expensive stores and etcetera. It was more exciting then I thought it would be.

Second day, because I know everyone is reading to this point…not. The second day we took a boat ride down the Potomac to get to Mount Vernon, the estate of George Washington. After a long two hours on the boat with a good drink, and a heated battle of historical knowledge with my step father we found ourselves at Mount Vernon. They had never been there and I had been there only once before 6 years ago. The last time I was there, my friend Erica and I found an unmarked room that wasn’t on the map or near any signs at all. She went inside but I was too chicken and ended up running away before we could explore it. This time I promised to explore for her, but it was locked away this time. Bummer for us, I still have the photos from last time however to prove we went inside. After that disappointment I explored every nook and cranny of the place before we headed home to the hotel for a nap. We then left for Old Town Alexandria which I mistook for Colonial Williamsburg. After that huge disappointment and a rather crappy dinner, we ended up taking the ghost tour anyway and it turned out to be rather fun and exciting. We took a tour 30 minutes earlier then the one we registered for and it was rather funny that this guy was stealing the other groups guests. Either way both groups where full, which shocked me. The tour was elaborate and if not for the good stories, it was amazing to see the architecture. Unfortunately my camera didn’t like taking night shots, so I don’t have many at all.

Day three…I cant remember at all. I was so tired the entire day seems like a blur. I think we took a bus tour of the entire city, then just passed out at the hotel…but I cant be sure.

Day four (last day), so sue me for dragging my poor parents out to indulge a long harbored wish of mine, but the Civil War Battle field Manassas (aka Bull Run as most of you would know it by) was just plain cool. We watched a forty minutes video, listened to a battle simulation, and then took a full tour of the two hills that make up the Battle field. It was AMAZING…and I loved every minute of it. Really if you have time, visit a battle field…it really is just aw-inspiring. Besides I was able to purchase confederate gear for my Jasper Whitlock cosplay. Goodie!!! After that we ate lunch at Unos Chicago Restaurant and the food was good. After getting back into the city we later took a night tour of D.C. by Taxi and it was extraordinary running around the capitol at night. ANOTHER MUST DO!!!

Day five. We visited the art museum where I was finally able to locate the Robert Gould Shaw memorial by pure luck and chance. Literally just walked into the room expecting more paintings of dead pheasants and fruit and instead I see a bright shiny gold statue. I might be a nerd, but im a civil war nerd, and that statue made my heart beat as fast as if I had just met the man himself. More gorgeous art. The building itself was incredible. Could have stayed the day there without a complaint. It really was a lot of fun, but we made a dash to the air port.

D.Gray Man Shoot~

After enraging issues with flight delays and flight attendant laziness, I made it home only to rush somewhere else again. WILL I EVER GET A CHANCE TO RELAX?!! I grabbed my millennium earl costume and booked it to soka university. It was a fun shoot, though to be honest everyone seemed rather put out about something. I felt it might have been my fault since they probably had been there for a long time and I was the one they might have been waiting for…I tried to hurry and change but it was still a tense air. It wasn’t until the drive to Irvine that I learned why. [YAY I GOT TO KNOW SUSAN BETTER!!! Well I knew who she was before but we hadn’t really got to talking up until that date. It was nice to officially get to know you a bit!] But I wasn’t directly involved and I didn’t want to make it my business to interfere though I will admit my curiosity got the better of me. Though they where unfortunate we had a lot of fun at the shoot and later at the little tofu restaurant. At least I enjoyed cracking jokes to myself…though I think my friends probably think im insane. Truth is, im just tired. But I missed them. I really do love hanging out with them…which reminds me…I miss Erica and Miranda…

Harry Potter Mid-night premiere.

I ended up going. I conned my friend Miranda into it and we went. Drove to the Kaleidoscope and enjoyed the show and the wait. Between the two of us, me and Miranda can really have conversations and we spent the entire time on a blanket near the escalator. We also had live entertainment as people preformed wizards duels, two people dressed up as a unicorn and a snitch, and everyone being festive. Miranda wore a Gryffindor Scarf and I was dressed as a Slytherin fan girl. We ended up going down stairs to the lower level of the center to get yogurt land and on my turn I saw Lauren and Blaze there. It was awesome but I only talked to them for a minute or two before getting myself yogurt and sprinting off again. I still couldn’t believe how much I missed Miranda…being away from any of my friends for too long is just blinding. The movie was “ok”. I believe if you read the book, like I did, the movie was enjoyable and easy to follow as well as exciting. However It has been years since I read the book and so I was watching it somewhat as a first time hearing or seeing this part of the series perspective. It turned out to be confusing and rather out of order? Even if you have read the book it was out of order…if they had kept the scenes that belong in the next book actually in the next movie I would have liked it better…and it didn’t seem to flow nicely to me at all…but ironically…the movie was still exciting, thrilling, and immensely enjoyable. I will defiantly buy the dvd.

My love for Malfoy has grown by like 400 +….Tom Felton I love you.

Alan Rickman will always be the stubble man to me now… so every time I see him as snape I laugh.

Dumbledore…I wish I could see the original one in this role, but alas I will miss both of them.

Rupert Grint AkA Ron Weasley….i claimed him since book one when I was in 1 or 2 grade. To this day you have not let me down in page or film…OMG I LOVE YOU!!!!  Ron = love.

Hermione is the only one I will allow Ron to kiss, and even then I still grumble.

Loved the friendship focus with Hermione and Harry, and I love to see how Harry and Ron are getting more well developed. Very intriguing.

Loved the jokes,…countless moment in the movie made me laugh. And I mean countless, most of which having to do with Ron.

Lol…word: “Snogging”

Did I mention Malfoy that I love you.

 ….who the hell was the woman in the beginning?!

Oh well, Dumbledore borrowing a rolling stones magazine more then made up for it.

Pandora Hearts update.

Catching up on my anime…WTF. Jack from Pandora hearts if finally getting the air time he deserves for being brilliant and I find out that his coat has flipping darts in the back!!!! Brilliant I have to go back and remake it.

Now I am just going to pout.

And work.

And sleep.

Grrrrrr……

Le Chevalier D’eon Group

I know I already have made the cosplay but we are slowly trying to get a bigger group. We would love to have more people so im posting this up just so everyone can just look at the characters if they wish. There is no set date for this, though I plan to take a photo shoot in it sometime during the winter as well as wear my new outfit to Anime Los Angeles 2010. But that is only planning and as always, it is probably going to change. So here are the characters and more, let me know if your interested. If not, at least you get a look.

The story centers around the death of Lia de Beaumont who was a member of the secret police to the king known as “Le secret du roi”. Her younger brother, a knight as well, takes it upon himself to investigate his sisters mysterious death in which the only clue is the word “psalms” which was written upon her floating coffin. Along with his old master Telligory, Lias old partner Durand, and the young page Robin, D’eon set upon a journey across 18ooth century Europe at the last light before the French Revolution. It is a deep and beautifully crafted series that shows the richness of friendship and the importance of loyalty.

Anime Catch up:

Watched English version of D.Gray man for two minutes…voices I could stomach until I reached the earl then I puked and I think I died…im not done making my noose yet.

Started rewatching 07 ghost and catching up…SPOILER BELOW…READ ONLY IF YOU READ MANGA…IF NOT…SKIP TO RED TITLE.

You’ve been warned. So they have been holding out on mikages death for a while, but finally it happened and while the manga I was simply a little pouty over it, the anime made me sob…im not so sure why. If your reading this and it’s a spoiler for you stop…and move on…Anyway they kept bringing it up again for the next two episodes and all I wanted to do was die silently, however that means the adorable pink bunny thing with wings has appeared along with teito getting the promise collar. Sooo nooow I, frau, can control him effortlessly…muwahahah. Of course the training episode only made me want to kill someone…why? Well four eyes made a dummy for teito to use that just happens to look like frau…(ass whole), and well it started to harass some nuns and well, here is the exact text…

Is that Bishop Frau?

(no it’s a dummy!!! )

No its just a pervert.

(good girls…you know frau better then that)

Wouldn’t that just be frau?

(GRRRRRRRRRRR NO IT’S A CREEPY ASS DUMMY MADE TO LOOK LIKE FRAU!!! How could you be so cruel?!)

You cant read now…

In later news, Teito meets the jerk face from the oak family...i forget his name. cosplayed by Konishii, and er.....well he is totally flamboyant...no joke. plus a jerk, AND THAT PINK BUNNY IS A SCHEMER...DAMN THING...poor tater, mikage is forcing you to have friends isnt he?

So anyway, almost done catching up on that then its off to Tears to Tiara catch up.

After Anime expo I still have a lot to clean up, like my costumes which im resorting, and make the new earl, and find pictures, and update my cosplay.com, and blah blah…all this and I have work tomorrow at 11:30 am. And I leave for Washington Wednesday.

But I will have the con report up soon. Until then….I bid you adue.

Fanime:

Its so far after it I honestly cant remember much. But ill try my best to write it out. Sorry no photos on me. Also keep in mind, this post and any made after it is probably me procrastinating from sewing sailor Uranus…she is killing my ego. Is it just me or am I always finding ways to go back and fix costumes that are done…no, I need to settle with them…but…I can make them better….ugh

The flight:

I sat in that damn terminal for like three hours…never again am I arriving two hours ahead. I read my book my friend gave me, and I enjoyed it. Flying was easy and was enjoyable to watch the scenery. I listened to music and made mental notes about how my frau could use serious adjustments……im going to go back one day and just take in the coat and remove the back part…but ill do that before I re-wear it. I have to fix Lelouch and Earl first…lovely. Anyway, got there and waited for friend to pick me up for another hour, meanwhile calling my mom and then giving other people very evil stares. I get cranky on flights…

The con:

I got to the hotel after lots of calling and lots of me being plain lost. It wasn’t hard to quickly settle in. I usually do that at cons, just set everything up nice and pretty then hit the hay…naw, I stayed up and chatted until I passed out. I cant remember that evening real well…

Well the con was fun. Cosplayed Frau and I have to say, compared to my group…I looked crappy….*throws hands up* fine you win frau…you win. The boots I borrowed from my friend killed my feet…luckily I don’t ever have to borrow them again. Anyway next cosplay I remember is Anna Rochefort….honestly, it turned out better then I thought…then I saw the awesome le chevalier group that just happened to be at the same cone, dressed as them the same damn day…why do I feel like I need to go back and redo the entire costume. Sob….

Anyway…….other memories from the con…Konishii working on her 07 ghost cosplay then…we spilt hot chocolate on its white awesomeness…before she had time to even get out of her shocked face, about 8 of us had our tide sticks and where attacking it. At the time it was horrific, but I hate to say it…now its hilarious. We got the stains out at least…but I need a new tide stick.

Going to eat in someone else’s, who I cannot recall, room a fabulous dinner. And I mean fabulous!

The drive back down….just remember any time your locked in a car with that many people…many things come out of it. Got in trouble for being home late, thanks a lot…

Well over all, I defiantly want to go again next year. It was an amazing con and I had an absolute ball at it. It was nothing but fun times and really…I sort of wish I had better costumes for the con but I was very happy to be there at all….awesome place san José….this is my month for beating myself up apparently…I just realized how much im bashing myself. Sigh…..

Cosplay:

What? I have to sew? Oh god…will get on that as soon as school is out. Cousin in town for a few days so I will be hanging with her…but after that sewing my head off. Found like three new animes I adore…and yes Pandora hearts is among them. The other one is Tears of Tiara which I am no determined to cosplay from, and the other one ….i just forgot the name too. But I am also keeping up with 07 ghost. Good stuff there…mikage…still living.  Im starting to wonder if ill ever see the cute pink bunny.

Work:

They finally gave me more hours….now it is my job to prove my worth!

Life:

So far so good. Got our senior year books, and other stuff. Gunna cry my eyes out….i keep writing novels in peoples year books. But its been too fun. I missed out on the senior prank, everyone ditched class and ran across campus to jump in the pool throwing in teachers with them….i was in the theater slaving at a novel…and didn’t hear a thing about it. Now im eternally bummed out.

Will post a full journal entry about Fanime when I return. However I have no images so if you guys found pictures of me or got any please send us some links or something. I found an awesome one of me in anna…and another of me as tamaki. Anyway got to go…studying.
