Cos We're Cosplaying Around!

Some of my recent adventures have involved costumes. ...Most of my recent costumes were worn on adventures.. Hmm, let me try again. People I know often don't recognise me because I tend to go out wearing crazy things. Most of them aren't really on purpose, it's just what I wear.

My workplace threw a Western style event and I had a lot of fun dressing up for that and I'm really looking forward to some upcoming Halloween events. It's nice when I get people asking me where I get/how I make my costumes, or if they can borrow one of them for their own parties. It's even nicer when people who I know are a lot more confident than I am in several ways - admire me because I can go out in public the way I do.

One of the highest compliments I've ever had was from an actress friend of mine. She said she wished she could dress like me. It's what she does for a living, but not something she could do in her spare time. It's just fun though, it's nice to be something or someone else for a day. I've just never grew out of the dressing up phase.

Prop It Like You're Hot

I've got a new friend. Wow. That makes it sound like I have trouble making friends. Which I don't. So let me start again. I have a new friend - that shares my interest in cosplay, conventions and games. It's about damn time. Penguin is like that, but she also scares away other potential dress upperers. Also she takes a really long time to actually do anything about it even though the decision to suddenly turn up to a movie night as some random character will strike as quick as lightning.

I love Penguin, I really do, but sometimes she's frustrating about that stuff hahaha. If it sounds like I'm being mean, let me put it in perspective.. every year, we have to have a birthday celebration for her towards the end, even though her actual day is nearer the start. I really admire the effort she goes too, though.
