Okay, so I'm not really over that whiny patch that I was on a couple days ago. I was going to wait until I could not be a whiner to post again, but it just ain't gonna happen any time soon I don't think. I get like this twice a year at least, so I know to expect it. And there's nothing I can really do to fix it except for go places. Normally Otakon is my go places in the summer, but this year it wasn't so much. I'm going to Texas in a few weeks and that should cure this restlessness. Hopefully
In any case, I'm going to try to keep myself occupied by working on crafty things. I won't be able to do much right now, because I'm short on funds, but after Texas, I'll be able to get some money saved up again and start doing better projects. I'll be posting about them here, of course, but I'm going to start up a blog on blogger.com specifically for these things. I might start selling some things I make in the future, so want to keep things separate. Keep my personal mess out of my crafty mess wherever possible. *laughs*
Otakon was last weekend, and it was fun. Not the most fun I've ever had at a con, but it was good. I bought the last DVD of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and the newest Ouran manga. Bought two Konami Busou Shinkis Howling and Arnval, and bought a Figma Haruhi Suzumiya. I bought some stuff in the artist alley too. Nothing fantastically interesting. Just a couple bits of jewelry.
Starscream was keeper of the badge all weekend again. People fawned over him just like they did at Botcon. Inflated his ego something fierce.
Apparently his inflated ego made Travis Willingham a bit angry. *laughs* But Travis is too damn cute for me to be mad at. Plushie abuse all forgiven when he flashed that pretty smile.
Sonny Strait was nicer. Or Starscream developed a slight fear of VAs. One of the two.
Mike McFarland is all kinds of awesome.
Saturday was the day I wore my humanformers Starscream costume. I walked around for hours in my heels and my feet were killing me! All day I kept hearing there were other TF cosplayers, but I couldn't find them anywhere.
Until...
King Starscream strode into the con! (More like came in in pieces and was built, but whatevs.) He was awesome!
When Optimus and Megatron arrived to start something, I jumped in to aide my larger self.
When Blaster showed up, more fun ensued, but we put aside our differences for long enough to pose. The four of us humanformers were going to head off to the dealers room when we spotted someone we just had to go back for.
I have no idea why this one got so small...
Soundwave! She belongs to the Transcostumers forum, so I've seen pics of her costume before, but it was awesome to see in person.
