Cosplays/Conventions 2009 Report
This year has been great. Too many things I have experienced which shaped this wonderful memory of 2009 and without everyone I wouldn't know how the year would've been. Can't do any memory notes since LJ crashed on me for too much text, so you can head to the report if they have one. Aside from that, please enjoy this big list of spam. :p or if it interests you how many debuts I did this year. XD;

#of Debuts/New Costumes: 32-35
Favorite Overall Cosplay of the Year: American Cosplay Paradise cosplay, seriously, I've never had so much fun in a cosplay which got everyone smiling and giggling about. Everything especially lol!times with Die was just way too much fun.
Favorite Female Cosplay of the Year: Ranmao, it's been such a long time since I found girly cosplays I really want to do and I just love her. :D
Favorite Male Cosplay of the Year: Really bad tie between Gizel Godwin and Raphael Sorel. Probably two hardest costumes of the year. However it was so much love to finish and wear both. \(*A*)/
And I noticed I debut more this year than last year, it's weird because I don't feel I made that many cosplays this year. I suppose because some are made before and never worn that got me the number. However it balances out because I went to almost twice as many events this year.
Crazy but really fun, I met wonderful people this year, experienced a lot more, bonded with closer friends even more and had the most fun with travel times I have had in a long time. I'm looking forward to next year for sure! Thank you everyone for being such great peoples and giving me support~ Hope everyone has a good year and let's continue the cosplay love next year!
