Cake
I failed to do any cosplay whilst in Kent. I blame Pete's birthday and the fact I've been pretty torn up emotionally, despite my best efforts to stay cheerful.
Pete had a good birthday I think. I made him a cake. Since the only person who has recognised it so far is Pete himself I wondered if anyone on here recognises it. :D
I'm pretty pleased with it, especially since it was a ghetto cake made without any of the hardcore baking tools I have at home. For his birthday present I bought him Shadow of the Colossus for the PS2, which is stunningly epic and has sublime graphics, it's so cinematic. I also bought Pete some Lego, which we had fun playing with.
I've been down and listless this week because today is the 2nd anniversary of Dad passing away. It makes me feel depressed not just because the anniversary reminds me of the day itself, but mostly because the idea I haven't seen or spoken to him in 2 years just makes my heart ache. But I don't just react with sadness for some reason, I seem to get periods of being anxious and hyperactive in counterpoint to the times when I'm unhappy and lethargic. I know my Dad wouldn't have wanted me to be depressed though so I'm trying not to get too despondent.
So cosplay fails at Kent. But cake wins. I'm going to throw myself into cosplay in the coming weeks to get absolutely as much work done as possible before going to Paris. I really need to get quite a bit of work done on Selene and Zera before Paris because there's only a month before Ame when I get back and I'm not doing 3 costumes in a month. If the worst comes to the worst and I haven't made enough progress by Paris, then I'll postpone Selene and Zera until October. I'm not going to kill myself trying to complete a bundle of complicated costumes again. It was just far too intense and stressful trying to make Gramis, Larsa, Xianghua and Lizardman in the space of 4/5 weeks. But I'm confident that if I organise my time well before Paris I can get a large portion of Selene and Zera done before hand, as well as finishing off the last of Xianghua, Lizardman and whipping up a devout costume. Thankfully the devout costume is pretty simple.
Anyhoo, I'm tired so it's off to bed for me.
Ciao.
