Many topics at once! So tired...
...so it's time for an update!
Been sick since...geez, Monday last week. Have a sore, swollen throat that just won't give up.
Ohayocon was fun; I got to spend a lot of time with Starla, Brittany and Zack. Cosplay was Tales of the Abyss-themed again this year. ^ ^ Starla's debut of her Funk Mastah Fon Master Ion costume was a success, I think, and I enjoyed borrowing and wearing Kira's Peony costume on Friday. Thank you, Kira! <3 Even though poor Peo got no love in comparison to Ion or Jade. XD;
Saturday and Sunday saw me as Dist yet again, with a little bit of Silent Hill 2's Angela on Saturday night. I will never get over my amusement at how many people (especially guys!!) will go out of their way to call me out and come talk to me when I'm wearing Dist. X3 I suppose it comes with the territory of cosplaying a more recognizable (and memorable, for better or for worse XD) game character, as opposed to most of my other cosplays, which have been from mostly obscure and/or shoujo series. ALSO, THE BARRELOW-X STARLA MADE STOLE THE DAMN CON!! The damn little robot got more love than either of us, and DAMMIT, HE IS NOT MECHAZAWA!! XD It was too funny. I also got some photos ops that were one in a million, which completely made my night. X3 Haven't resized all the pictures yet, but I will post a link to Photobucket when I get them up. ^ ^
As to school, I was, alas, not cast for either of our shows this semester. No Fraulein Schneider for me. =( Still, it will make for a much less stressful time of things, and there is always next semester.
I've been thinking about soulbonding a little bit, as well... I've been wondering, where does the line between a muse and a soulbond lie? When they think for themselves? When they can "front"? My versions of Saphy and Peony that have taken up residence in my head can do those things, and so can pretty much the entire Galerians cast, and others now and then, as well. Even Albel's still around, if I look for him. But, they aren't those actual people, I don't think, and they don't claim to be. If they are, it's a connection by accident, and one neither I or they are fully aware of. In any case, it's something that's never been fully clear to me, what makes a soulbond what it is, but I think that's because it means something different to everyone. I certainly don't know what or which of my connections would be considered soulbonds. ^ ^;
In any case, I think that about covers things for now. Hope all is well with all!
