...Wish I could prove I love you,
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe, some things are that simple...

Reflections (and cosplay plans???)posted Aug 11th 2009, 2:05AM

So, classes start in a few weeks. I'll be going into my (hopefully) final year of my undergrad study. It's really weird to think of the fact that I started this account my senior year of high school. I've been through so much and a lot of things have changed, but some things have stayed the same too.
For one thing, cosplay has become a HUGE part of my life. It's a wonderful hobby that allows me to be crafty and hang out with awesome people. As far as future cosplays, just a blurb here but I still plan on doing Alicia and will be making a Welkin costume for my boyfriend (Valkyria Chronicles stuff). Other things on the list with high priority: Xiao Qiao from Dynasty Warriors, Kay Faraday from Ace Attorney Investigations, Takiko Okuda from Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden, Patchouli Knowledge from Touhou Project
This is pretty long term since 2 of those are for AX next summer. <.< >.>
I'd like to do another Miku outfit soon and a Ranka outfit, thought the biggest problem with doing all this is funds. Cosplay is expensive, not only the fabric, but the wigs especially, props, hotels, con reg., and with AX a cross country flight.
I also just got a puppy, and I luff her Her name is Sasha and she's a Great Dane. Hopefully, I'll be able to post pics once I find the cord for my camera.
Once thing, though, that I have to admit that I'm upset about that has changed is that I don't draw anymore, and I really don't even feel involved in this community. When I first joined, I had an amazing time here. I guess that can be partly attributed to the fact that I was younger and had more time to spend doing whatever. And, it's not so much that I don't have time anymore; it's just that other things take priority. I'm really going to try to make an effort to start drawing again. I mean, I spent $300 years ago on a wacom tablet that I've barely used.
So, this journal was completely scatter brained and over all ridiculous. Awesome
Thanks a bunch!
And anyone can cosplay! You just have to start off slow. If you can't sew, you can always take classes to learn, or alter things you can buy from stores! Don't give up
o.o No I mean... I don't have the build and I don't really look like anybody. Maybe if I can do one of the generic characters from an anime or something. lol
well, I'm ridiculously short and have a really weird body shape so finding things for me is kinda difficult too. And, a lot of the characters I really want to do, I can't because I look so young. But, I'm sure there's someone out there you can make! and there's always wigs to change your hair too! Don't give up!
