I'm so sleepy ^_^
My summer has been crazy so far. I know lots of people that couldn't find summer jobs this year, so I know I'm fortunate to have found two. On the other hand though, I've been extremely busy and am half asleep most of the time. (I have to be at work at 6:30 tomorrow morning) I normally work 10 hour days. Going back to school will be more laid back, even with studies. I'm looking forward to seeing all of my friends again.
Even with all the insanity of work, I've managed to do a tiny bit of sewing. I'm going to be the Queen of Hearts for Halloween (a renaissance-ish design). After I help some friends with Alice and Mad Hatter outfits, I'm going to attempt a school uniform from Princess Tutu. I'm planning on cosplaying Freya because I will not need a wig- that and she's awesome. I'm possibly going to Ichibancon in January, but we will see. Right now I'm just awaiting my Cosplay DVD from Animazement. I have a few old outfits in my closet waiting to be photographed, but I don't know any photographers. Ah well. I want an excuse to rewear my Raine cosplay too, but I don't know if that's going to happen anytime soon either.
~Miakaylia - I don't think I'll be in your neck of the woods any time soon, but we ought to have a sibling outing/picnic sometime. Kratos and Lloyd can join us too ^^ Though I don't know if I'll see anyone til next Animazement. I definately wanna pre-con next year.
Anywhoozles. I need to wind down for bed before a long week ahead of me.
I hope everyone has had a good summer so far.

Animazement was in the new Raleigh Convention Center this year- epicness ensued.
I had a three cosplays and was in a skit on Saturday. Can you say "Rick Roll?"
We didn't win anything, but everyone we talked to afterward said they loved our skit. ^^ I'm cool with being the fan favorite.
It was a very awesome weekend. I was in the coolest LoZ/ToS group ever XD I am lucky to know such cool people
We did not realize it at first, but we really type casted ourselves. I was the Raine in our group. I went on a mini history rant about Sir Walter Raleigh, and Lloyd started to get bored and was daydreaming... It was funny.
Our Sheena had the perfect attitude as well ("Girl, look at what you're wearing.") ... pretty much everyone was spot on
Kratos and Lloyd had a father-son outing, Genis and I skipped across the street to the hotel, and poor Colette could not "defy gravity."
It was a pain trying to fit all my ridiculous hair into a wig cap, but it was worth it to cosplay Raine Sage.
The dealers' room was twice as large this year... I bought a lot of stuff (like a corset and a bento box)
It was an amazing (an animazing) con, complete with lots of random hugs.
I'm kinda sad the weekend passed by so fast, but it was so much fun. I hope everyone had an awesome Memorial Day.

Hello everybody. I figured I needed to update my journal eventually. Happy St. Patricks Day! I've been listening to Gaelic Storm for a good bit of the day
I'm super excited that Animazement is coming up. My Raine cosplay is about 95% done. I just finished the boots a few minutes ago. They've been such a pain. I will get some photos up when May rolls around. I still have a second medieval dress and a cloak, but who knows when I'll get a chance to wear them. Ive been brainstorming for my next project, but I'll need to get a summer job before I try and buy any fabric.
Other than that, I suppose there's not much to say. One of my friends finally got me to watch Code Geass. That show gets two thumbs up. And I'm glad they eneded it the way they did. Too many shows end up sucking because they never end them and recycle the same plot over and over. I just discovered this afternoon that FMA is coming back, but as a remake that will be faithful to the manga. I'm rather excited because as good as the anime was, the manga is even better.
Anywho, I suppose they're still a month or so away, but I wish everyone good luck on final exams ^^

I have so much crap to do.
I need to actually finish a project for once...
I have two medieval dresses, a red velvet cloak, and a tunic that I haven't taken pictures of yet. I still have to finish the cuffs of my Buttercup dress, but other than that, I'm done with it. My next cosplay is Raine from ToS. I still have a ways to go on it. That jacket has been a paine in the rear. There's been a lot of hand sewing, but it's going to be really nice because I'm lining the jacket with a pale orange. And with all this stuff going on, I bought an Elizabethan dress pattern yesterday. I've never had a chance to go to a Renfaire before, and my boyfriend's going to take me to one this spring. I'm really exited, but I probably won't be a able to start the dress until Christmas when I get 'money' for gifts. I don't have a job now since I'm in college, and fabric is always so expensive >_<
I'll probably be goofing off throughout dead week, so I'm going to go study before company arrives. I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving

I just realized that I haven't updated anything in a long time. I promise: I'm not dead ^_^;
I went to a Medieval party a while back and won a costume contest, which was pretty fun. But I have to say that the competition wasn't that fierce. Everyone's jaw dropped when I said that I made it myself. Oh well. I got a gift card to the book store, so that should help with 'a' textbook next semester. I'll try getting photos up eventually.
I am working on another project(slowly but surely). It has a lot of orange and black fabric, but it's not for Halloween. If anyone wants to take a wild guess at what it is, you'll get some serious kudos points. I've also been working on some crocheting. I'm going to need a lot of scarves when it gets cold. I am looking forward to walking around campus dressed as Zelda for Halloween. I want to see the different reactions on people's faces as I walk by.
I'm so happy I finally have my sewing machine back <3
Hope everyone has an awesome Halloween!
