So apparently I haven't posted anything for all of August and half of September. Here's a quick summary- I went to Otakon this summer with my cousin and her friends, and we actually got to stay in a hotel this time. It was absolutely lovely. Dressed up as Martin from Cabin Pressure, sheet!Sherlock, and Koenma. Bought lots of swag, including some ( Read more... )

 Wow, my fourth con already. They all start to blur together after a while. But this year was *great.* Dressed up as Koenma on day 1 (and I think he's getting retired- the fabric's starting to get really frayed), and then Kurt on days 2 and 3 (day 2 was the "likes boys" shirt, and day 3 was his Barbara Streisand outfit). Didn't get as much ( Read more... )

Well, Otakon is over. Went by very quickly this year- guess that means we had a great time. :) Big events of the past two days include- our group of friends starting a huge spontaneous dance-fest that took up half a floor, a fire drill that lasted an hour (which turned out to be a prank?) and much time spent trying to find each other after ( Read more... )

Hey, it's me, posting from Maryland! :) Seeing the cousin is, as always, amazing, and I am LOVING Otakon. We're going to be leaving in about an hour for day two, and I'm being Koenma today and tomorrow. (Was Light yesterday.) Got five pictures taken and a hug yesterday, which wasn't so good compared to recent years, but seeing as the big Death Note ( Read more... )

 Okay, internet's being slow, so we'll try and be quick ( Read more... )

 So, we're in Maryland now. We're at our cousins house- got back from Otakon a couple hours ago. It was *beautiful.* I didn't get that much sleep last night, but with all the sugar we ate, it didn't matter. (Ate NOTHING healthy today, and probably won't this whole weekend.) Registration was really easy, and a lot of people liked my costume. (I was ( Read more... )

Well, I'm mildly irritated- I've been looking through Otakon pictures for the past hour and a half... I found some cool ones, and I saw some costumes I actually saw in person there, but I haven't seen me or my friends. :( I guess I wasn't really expecting to too much, and it's also the day after the con ended, so not all pics might be up yet, but ( Read more... )

Okay, very happy to get back to a computer. Anyway... the second day of the con was even better than the first. I dressed up as Koenma (who took some co-fronting time during the day) and I looked *great.* Maggie and her friends who cosplayed looked very good as well ( Read more... )

The con was *awesome* yesterday! The car ride over was interesting, to say the least, as we were in the car with six other fangirls... two of them in costume. (Me and one other person are going to wear our costumes today.) Parking took forever, but we saw a lot of people in cosplay, looking really awesome. (There was a *perfect* Hellboy. :D) We ( Read more... )

Yay, the convention's today!!! I'm not wearing the costume I made just yet- wearing my Yusuke/Koenma shirt I made today, then I'll wear the costume tomorrow. I'm mildly worried- the clay that I used in the "pacifier" I made can apparently melt through styrofoam... and it'll be near my mouth. I'll only be using it for one day, and it's not going *in ( Read more... )
