After talking about it for forever and a day I finally completed and wore my first cosplay to Ohayocon 2010! Woo!  I went as Tsubaki from Soul Eater.  It was fun, and my costume was pretty good aside from a stupid amount of small malfunctions.   I posted about my costume in cosplay , with some more pictures and stuff.  If you want to look you can click on the picture :D
 

Ohayocon was fun and amusing.   My favorite part had to be all the really fantastic costumes.  I mean there were some that just blew me away.  I ended up not taking many pictures because I was busy running around doing stuff and going to panels, but I did get a few.  It was cracking me up, because I realized no matter how nerdy I am or get....there is like a whole other eschelon of nerd-dom that I'm just never going to reach.  lol, not that I dislike nerds at all, it's just a general observation. 

The panels and the cosplay were interesting, but my main qualm with Ohayocon was that there just wasn't enough room for all the people that came.  We had to watch the Cosplay and skits in a viewing room after being led in a line for twenty minutes around random hallways.  That wasn't really that bad though, after we got situated.  Then there was the dance.  I was excited because there was supposed to be a japan street fashion show for the first 45 minutes of the dance.  While Chad, Tony, and Jameson went to a Hellsing panel I got in line for the fashion show/dance.  After waiting for 45 minutes, with a weird nerd boy who couldn't stop talking I finally made it into the room for the dance.  Only to discover that there was no fashion show, there was no bar in the room (damn you family friendly "rave"!!!!), and once you left the room where the dance was being held you had to get back in line which was still retardedly long because the room wasn't big enough for everybody.  It seems to me like the dance and the cosplay were the biggest things to go to....so why oh why wouldn't they have them in giant rooms that would fit everyone?  I don't know but that was annoying.  Otherwise I had a good time and I want to go  back next year, and to other cons.  My main motivation is the costuming.  I can't get it out of my head, so I'm planning outfits for the next cons, plus I'm going to start making my outfits for goth night.

For my next costumes I am going to make Lady Sio from Afro Samurai, and Probably Galatea from Claymore. :)  At any rate here are the pictures I took.

A couple weeks ago I rolled up my little Half-Orc Barbarian, Grimm, for a Dungeaons and Dragons campaign that all my old room mates started. Before this I only played D&D once with my ex-boyfriend and his brothers....we didn't get very far lol. This new campaign is a ton of fun tho! I really like playing and my character is a BA. He does some awesome damage...I think in our last battle I chopped off like 3 dudes heads. It was awesome. So of course I have had it on my brain a lot lately. I'm in the market to get a sweet dice set, a bag for said dice set, and I still need my own figure. I have been using other peoples stuff up until now. Here is what I am looking at getting and a few fun ideas that I might venture into.

This reminds me of Tony's wizard :)

mood: lethargic

This weekend flew by. A new week has begun and I am feeling decidedly lethargic. I'm caught in a weird inbetween. I want to go hang out with people but at the same time I think I would prefer to be alone with my musings.

I don't think I want to go out for a while....I need to save money to buy x-mas presents, but I also think it will allow me to focus on actually being productive as far as other things go.

Birthday vacation week was good, not too eventful but it was nice because I like being lazy :) I played D&D with a bunch of my friends Saturday and it was actually really fun. I drew my Half-Orc Barbarian, his name is Grimm and he has dreads and a pet piggy :D I wish I would have scanned him, maybe I will. We are going to play again tomorrow, should be awesome and adventure filled.

I really have a good amount going on for the rest of the week.

Tonight - Stop by Joann Fabrics to get material for a skirt and purple feathers for various goth night endeavors.

- At some point this week I really need to edit some pictures I took of Sara.

It should be a good time. I'm really looking forward to it and yet at the same time having crap to do every single day makes me tired just thinking about it. Oh wells.

Anyho, onto my red haired ladies :) I sketched the first one whilst I was waiting for a tech to fix my work computer. Then I made more because I totally dig the style I used. I may try to expand on this style later.

This one is my favorite I think.
