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.

I Vant To Suck Your Cocktails!

Well, I really enjoyed my last weekend and surrounds. Friday I went to a 21st at Dracula's... I don't think I'm a huge fan of Dracula's anymore. The first time I went was for my 18th and by the time they got the meals out to us it was time for our scheduled photo. When we got back, five minutes later our untouched meals were gone. We finally got our replacement meals after everyone had finished their dessert, but the company made it interesting and the show I remember as funny.
