Happy New Year and then some....
Mostly cross posted from DA so I'm sorry for redundancy....
I'd like to start off by saying two things:
1)I am entering the six month seclusion period for my fandom (or at least attempting). If anyone from the Kingdom Hearts fandom dare say anything about BBS around me I will scream and attempt to kill things. I am not from the better half of this group that speaks Japanese or thinks they do. Thus I am not rushing off to import BBS. I will wait until May/Juneish when it arrives in my native language in which I'll enjoy it more. Plus I sill need to acquire a PSP, and a job, and preferably a life. I am perfectly capable of spoiling it for myself. I do not need your help. For now I am diving into the dark world of Final Fantasy... which brings me to the second thing I have to say.
2)I have the best girlfriend EVER! Our one year anniversary was in November (of which I completely forgot, me being the moron who lives under a rock) and I couldn't be happier. More on this later...
Anyways....
I am a few academic classes away from being a senior at art school which means OMG Senior Thesis of DOOM. A thesis right now that consists of portrait paintings of cosplayers. And would be loving the whole thing except that it is an ass-load of work. And I don't do pressure very well. But that's all good cause I'm doing art to a personal standard of WOW. I think I've managed to push myself in the best direction I could be. And I'm learning so much in the process which I suppose is what art school is for.
In two weeks I begin the final semester of Senior year (well, actually I got another year to go but that's all because stupid me failed English and History several times in a row) and I'm both excited and scared shitless.
But enough of that.....
I hope everyone's holidays went well. Mine were ok aside from being forced to spend a month and a half living with my family of which I've had enough of all ready. I got a few awesome artbooks for Christmas and a shit load of art stuff from family. And getting back to the whole "I have the best girlfriend EVER" thing... she not only got me Final Fantasy VII so I can stop failing in the eyes of all my FFVII loving DnD buds (who've debated in lengths about Chocobo breading at the table), but she got me FFVIII and FFIX as well. That = WIN! So the two of us are playing VII together and I'm playing IX on my own because out of the three it has the easiest ability system (cause I'm still game impaired... took me half of KHII to realize abilities existed....) and because running around chasing white-haired cross dressers with a monkey-tailed thief is fun.
I digress....
.... Back to FFVII... I was driving my sister back from seeing Avatar with her and dad (which was AMAZING) and listening to the FFVII: AC soundtrack and she turned to me and was like "You'd make a good Cloud." Which promptly caused me to hit the accelerator and go "you've been watching us play FFVII to much." And then I went and told the girlfriend and she agreed! Probably because of the 'In defense of Cloud's Manhood' speech I gave a while ago and because of the fact that yes, I am socially impaired and prone to yelling at people to leave me alone. (And probably because I kicked her when she attempted to re-name Cloud 'Emo Boy' when we started playing.)
So that got me thinking all introspectively and eventually agreeing to my sister's statement. Which then prompted them to say "Let's cosplay FFVII: AC!" So now it looks like I have to not only plan out a Cloud cosplay but ones for Tifa and Yuffie as well. At least we'll have something besides KHII to wear to ConnectiCon... That is if we can figure out the finances for new cosplays.... it looks like wigs alone are gonna be $100 (a figure that includes a new Sora wig)
Anyways hopefully you'll all see more of me this year....
