AAAAAAAAA
I thought that quitting my freelance would give me MORE time to sleep and watch anime/read manga, but somehow I end up taking on more and more other stuff, even though I have less money... It seems like I'm just really really bad at doing nothing ^^;;;;;;
So it looks like I will be putting together an all new cosplay for Animecon, in just 3 weeks... I just assumed that my Japanese friends and I would be doing Hozuki no Reitetsu again, since we all have costumes from that and we've only worn them together once... Or that maybe I could do Kurapika again if they wanted to do something else?
But it seems like their interest has completely shifted towards other stuff, especially the Castlevania Netflix anime... So now they want me to cosplay from that with them. And well, I watched it a while ago, and I liked it a lot, so why the heck not? So yeah, I will be cosplaying Alucard, because he's blond and my friends say I would look good as him. x'D Yeah, that's enough motivation for me these days, if it will make my friends happy. Granted, I'm not putting a costume together from scratch entirely, as my friend will lend me a wig and a coat... But there's no way that her shoes, pants or shirt are going to fit me, and I'll still have to figure out how to do the make-up and maybe vampire teeth?
So I bought myself some spiffy boots~ Thankfully they arrived AFTER 8PM when I selected the 7~9 timeslot, for a change! I cycled home as quickly as possible today and arrived at 7:50, but it turns out I hadn't needed to go through the effort as they arrived neatly at 8:10. =) And the size fit, too! I"m always a bit apprehensive about buying shoes online, but the reviews had said that they run small, so I bought the "25 cm" size instead of the "24 cm" that I usually get for other shoes... And I think it's good that I did, because they fit exactly! They're maybe about half a size too big, but that's nothing that can't be solved by wearing an extra pairs of socks (while there's nothing you can do when they're too small, so...) Looking at the bottom of the sole, it says that it's a "size 41"... O__O I wonder in which country's system this is a "size 41", because in Dutch sizes I usually only have size 37... Anyway, they fit!
And I'm sure they'll come in handy during the rainy seasons in general (I currently don't have any waterproof shoes anymore other than my hiking shoes, my Kija shoes have a crack in the sole now ^^; ) , so I wouldn't have minded buying some new boots even if it wasn't for the cosplay >w<
We're getting together on Sunday for cosplay karaoke so I can try everything on, which means that I won't have a single day with nothing planned until I leave for the Netherlands, and so I won't be home during the day at all... ^^;;; I hope the rest of the deliverymen will be just as nice to arrive after 8PM on weekdays, so I can get my vampire teeth (that I just ordered from amazon, lol), and also Sindraa's Touken Ranbu DVD that's supposed to be coming to me in the near future? Hrmm...
Ahhh, way past bedtime already X_X
