PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP??? Ok, I seriously didn't think my little comment would trigger this...I am absolutely shocked! :omg:
And it's from an ANONYMOUS DEVIANT? The anonymity is killing me! Who ever you are, Thank you! Thank you so much! :worship:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I kinda miss my Premium Membership T^T  *Sniff, sniff*

On a different note, G-Anime was fun.  It was a much smaller con than the ones I've been to before but it was a fun experience none the less! (Of course, when you spend your weekend surrounded by wonderful friends and awesome people, it's impossible to not have a good time! I'm looking at you, :iconkiralacus:, :iconcyberfox007:, :icongamblingspirit:, :icondiopsideelven:, :iconjusdepomme:, :iconmoonrosesteam:, :iconmonoxydedazote:, :iconmikacosplay:, :icondeltali:, :iconguhigh:, :iconaoifasd:, :iconarmurita:, :iconfrenzywonder: and I might even be forgetting a few here!) I would definitely go again next year!

I also somehow won a couple of prizes at the masquerade which bumped me to the level above but I'm willing to argue that fact! :shakefist: I'm not ready yet! I'm not good enough! So much more I need to learn before I can join the rank of the great ones! :fear:  (I didn't get that many pics from the con but when I'll be done procrastinating, I'll post 'em.)

Now, Anime North is about 3 months away and I have NO effing idea what I'm gonna do for my major Cosplay.  Aaarrrrgh!  I have my hall cosplays figured out but when it comes to the one that I would make if I ever decide to enter the Masquerade, I have no clue! I want to try to get away from the typical princess dress do something different but I'm stumped.  Of course, it would have to revolve around my favorite fandoms such as Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Disney, etc....It's driving me nuts! I need to figure out something!!! :nuu:

Oh, oh!! And I finally got to see the Rurouni Kenshin live action movie! This was me during the movie I had to pause twice because I felt my ovaries explode.  Kenshin has been my number one favorite anime for a decade so seeing a wonderful live action rendition (a good live action movie for a change!) brought everything to full circle for me.

Also while I'm here, I want to wish you all a :heart:Happy Valentine's day:heart:, whether you spend it with a special someone, friends or family! See y'all and take care!

So, G-Anime is only a few days away already and despite all the problems that surfaced, I managed to finish everything in time for the con late last week. :phew:

Can't wait to see familiar faces over there (just in time for my b-day too!).  It'll be my first time at that convention so I'm anxious to see how everything's gonna be like.

Anyhow, here's my cosplay lineup for the weekend!

:star:G-Anime 2013 Cosplays:star:
:bulletyellow: Axel - Kingdom Hearts Series (Friday)
:bulletyellow: Queen Minnie - Kingdom Hears II (Saturday)
:bulletyellow: Princess Aurora - Sleeping Beauty (Sunday)

For those of you who are going, could you please let me know (or remind me again) what cosplay you might wear (or not) so I can keep an eye out for you? Thanks! :aww:

It's already been a few months since I last updated my journal? Wow...Anyhow, Happy New year guys! Hope you all had a pleasant holiday season. May 2013 be a great year to each and everyone of you!  I may have been gone for a while and my presence on DA has been practically non existent for the past year but I think about friends I've made here a lot and wish you all nothing but the best! :aww:

So, 2013 year of "serious" cosplay? I say serious because I recently bought myself an overlock sewing machine! (I honestly don't know how I ever lived without it, I'm absolutely in love). And serious again because you know s**t just got real when you whip out the second sewing machine to work on your project.  My living area basically looks like a mini clothing factory --> [link] (I'm usually not that messy!)  I'm a little scared because I have about 15 days to complete this costume before the con, hope I'll make it in time! :fingerscrossed:

This year, I will be at G-Anime (Jan 25th-27th), Anime North (May 24th-26th) and Otakuthon (August 16th-18th) and I think I've got most of my projects lined up for 2013, though I have NO idea how I'm gonna go about to do them for the most part (giving myself challenges, let's see how this goes! If I look a character and the idea of making a cosplay for it makes me cringe, I want to do it!)

I really miss going to conventions (I only went to one last year because of school) and I really hope to see many familiar faces at cons this year!
As always, despite my random leave of absence:

Been a couple of months since I last showed signs of life so I thought I'd update my journal! :dummy:

The :pumpkin:Halloween:pumpkin: party is getting close and I'm almost done re-touching and re-doing parts of my Halloween Princess Peach cosplay. There's going to be a masquerade at that party but I'm a little scared to participate with my Halloween Princess Peach as an Artisan...It's the only costume I have for the party and I don't feel like its Artisan level....

Yes, because somehow, I'm an Artisan now. I'm gonna have to change and challenge myself. After Halloween, I'm done with simple Princess gowns.  If I want to prove to myself that I'm worth the category I am in, I'll have to get out of my comfort zone, do things I've never done before and that's exactly want I'm gonna try to do in 2013.

I have some cosplays lined up for G-Anime, Anime North and Otakuthon with some gaps here and there but I'm determined and motivated to do different and try my hardest!

Aside from cosplay, I finally discovered Adventure Time (I'm addicted), this show's so funny and random, I love it. Also, I love the fact that I hear Psy on the radio.  I love catching Gangnam Style as I'm heading to the mall, it's fawesome.

In September I went on a wonderful trip to Disneyland that included a beautiful new chapter in my life :heart:, I won't dive into the personal details (anyhow, if I know you personally, you already probably know from Facebook).  

It was fantastic and magical! Disneyland is so rich with history and beauty. Cars Land completely blew me away; I don't think there are any words out there that can properly describe how amazing it is (Got to ride Radiator Spring Racers 7 times! Yay!) California is definitely gorgeous, warm and sunny, I didn't want to leave. I had the time of my life (even though I came back home witha cold!) I already miss it terribly. :saddummy:

As always, thank you all for the faves and comments, it continuously warms my heart!:dalove:




New Chapter + Help Needed!

After an intense year of school, I finally graduated on the 22nd of August (with the Excellence merit might I add with modesty)!  Can't believe it's already been a year, time flies by so fast...I will soon begin a new chapter of my life that I hope will be as successful as school has been for me!

Now for some Cosplay talk. With all the major cons of the year over, the only thing left this year is a Halloween party ~monoxydedazote invited me to.... (Because of an awesome vacation coming up in September, I will not be able to attend Comic Con in Montreal....wish I could have met William Shatner though...)

The problem is, I have no clue what to do/make (and I'm not even sure where my budget is going to stand at that point)! :o  Plus, he wants me to participate in the masquerade the party will host but I'm not too sure about that.....

If I have the budget to come up with something new, what should I do?
If I'm broke, which costume should I wear, Halloween Town Axel or Witchy Princess Peach? (As I only have two Halloween costumes...^^;)

Any bit of help or inspiration would be greatly appreciated!:thanks:

Oh, and I should post a pic of my Cinderella cosplay!....eventually....*is the worst procrastinator in the world....shame on her*

Well, another con as come and gone faster than the speed of light! (Boy, am I tired! lol)

Despite little bumps here and there, I always have tons of fun at Otakuthon.  

I (barely) entered the Masquerade again this year as a Journeyman and somehow won a prize with my $0.00 Cinderella cosplay in the workmanship category.  Because of this award, I now am an Artisan and it scares the crap outta me!  I'm really gonna have to step up my game if I ever want to make it in that category next year....

As always, I would like to say a very special Thank you to the :iconmoonrosesteam: for their unbelivable kindness toward me.  If it wouldn't be from them and :iconsarlacc-food:, :iconmonoxydedazote:, :iconkiralacus:, :iconguhigh: I probably would never have found the courage to ever enter a masquerade. I'm so grateful and I love them so much!! :blowkiss:

I'm so glad that I was fortunate enough to cross path with amazing friends such as :iconmaverickdelta:, :iconmidnight-dance-angel:, :iconmikacosplay:, :iconmokmo82:, :iconalexis-rider:, :icondarkwolfrin:, :iconaoifasd:, :iconanimegang:, :iconcyberfox007:, :icongamblingspirit:, :icongebgeb:, :icondeltali: I really hope I'm not forgetting anybody here!

Oh, also, through pure luck, I got to meet :iconadella: during the weekend (as she was a cosplay guest of honor) and she was really sweet!  I truly liked how she really seemed to enjoy herself and was really enthusiastic when she talked with con attendees and answered questions.

It was a good weekend! I already can't wait for the next con!

I know I said I wouldn't bother you guys again but it's the last time I swear!  >.<

I just wanted to let you guys know that I do not wear my glasses when I cosplay.

If I walk by someone I know without saying "Hello", it is not because I'm ignoring you,  I'm just blind....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:star:UPDATE:star:

The sun DOES shine on a dog's a** everyonce in a while!

After talking on the phone with ~KiraLacus earlier tonight, she gave me the bright idea to look around the web for some help/tips about my wig when I had completely given up hope (Can't believe the thought hadn't crossed my mind, kinda feel stupid). So, I went on YouTube trying to look up some videos about expanding wig cap and voila!  After some cutting and re-styling, Cinderella's wig now fits my head!  I feel so relieved!

It might not be the most original cosplay but I still spent about 18-20 hours on it total and it was a project that was dear to me because I proved to myself that I could make something from scratch without spending a penny.

So here's my official cosplay list for the weekend (I promise I'm done spamming your inboxes now! So sorry about that...But I'm so glad you guys were there to listen to me vent through this small ordeal! :aww:)

:star:Otakuthon 2012:star:
:bulletyellow: Friday: Princess Zelda - A Link To The Past [link]
:bulletyellow: Saturday: Cinderella - Disney Parks Inspired ($0.00 Budget Cosplay)
:bulletyellow: Sunday: Malon - Ocarina Of Time

Se ya'll this weekend! :dance:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not a happy camper right now....:grump:

Ok so, we're two days away from Otakuthon, after a total of 12 hours, my Cinderella gown is complete and I can humbly say that I am pleased with it, especially for a $0.00 gown.

BUT

Before starting the gown, I had previously styled the mediocre quality wig to something I believed to be decent without ever trying it. (And that is something I never usually do, to style the wig before sewing the outfit)  Also, I know it isn't a smart thing to do but I usually never try my wigs until I'm at the con and ready to cosplay.  Last night though, I decided to try on my Cinderella wig just to see.....It is a NIGHTMARE.

Now I remember why I never used it....I have never seen such a small wig cap in my life! (And I have an average size head!)  The back of my head is completely exposed, showing my hair, the wig strap and all kinds of mess!

I've tried all day to fix it by adding more hair and curls but it's still a mess....I'm so bummed... Cinderella will unfortunately not be at Otakuthon :saddummy:

Now I'm not sure what I'm gonna wear this weekend...Gonna have to look at my Cosplay closet and make a decision quick! :cries:

:star:Otakuthon 2012:star:

:bulletyellow: Choices:  
- Princess Zelda, A Link to the Past [link]
- Malon, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
- Princess Peach, Super Mario Bros (?)

:bulletyellow: Retired for Now (Not for ever though!):
- Axel, Kingdom Hearts
- Princess Aurora, Sleeping Beauty
- Demyx, Kingdom Hearts




Otakuthon 2012 + $0.00 Cosplay!

***UPDATE: I've added a picture next to the Princess Zelda cosplay listing at the bottom of my journal just in case some of you may not know which Zelda it is :nod: ***


For the few of you who might still care, I'm alive! =P  So much has happened but I'll spare the unrelated details!

Because of school, I've been pretty much absent from DeviantArt and cosplay for almost a year now.  I know school might not be much of a reason or excuse but when you try to forge a better future for yourself, every moment and action counts so I had to make sure all my focus went in the right direction.  With school now "over" (I have to go back for one day in august), I got one week of internship down (still one more to go) but I'm certainly ready and anxious to get back in the cosplay game! =D

Also, because of the lack of time (and budget) I've kinda had to improvise with cosplay for Otakuthon this year....I have a Cinderella costume in the works that cost me a big total of $0.00.  That's right, I didn't spend a penny on that cosplay, just recycled old fabric from various cosplays and leftover fabric from my prom dress! lol The wig is an old one that didn't fit the part for a previous costume when I ordered it over a year ago, hoping that it might be of use one day as it turns out to be now!  So let's hope that this budget costume works out and that in the end, it'll look like it's worth a lil more than what I spent on it! lol :fingerscrossed:

Otakuthon is in 4 days and nothing's sewed together yet...better get cracking! :nuu:

I think I will also bring Princess Zelda from a Link to the Past for Friday.  No one ever recognises this cosplay of mine but I personally like it cuz it's retro! lol Maybe Malon from Ocarina of Time too?  I dunno....Anywho, I sincerely can't wait to see so many of you at Otakuthon this year! :aww: It'll be fun! :la:

As always, thanks for all the faves and comments, it always warms my heart! Thank you so much! :blowkiss:

First journal of 2012 :dummy:

So, first things first: Happy New year y'all! (better late than never!)  I wish you all lots of happiness and success in 2012! :aww:

School has been tremendously stressful as of late (what else is new?), the week I missed in January because of the cruise I was generously given had me really worried for the exam session but I somehow managed through.  It would seem that I badly manage this stress of mine because on the very day of my exam, my teacher actually ordered me to start yoga classes lol (He said I'd be a mess in 20 years if I didn't do something about it now...)

That being said, I've recently found myself missing cosplay.  I miss sewing, I miss styling wigs, I miss having projects and I truly miss all the lovely people and friends I've met and made through cosplay. (Miss you guys so much! :saddummy:)

Because of that, I wasn't suppose to but I'll be going to Anime North this year.  A weekend away with friends and lots of cosplay fun is highly enticing to me right now!  I'd love to have a new project but time and money's a little tight so I'll have to recycle my cosplays for Anime North. (Maybe for Otakuthon though, and I already know what I'll be doing if I get to do it!)

I'll finally be posting some pictures of my Disney World trip from this past summer, I'll do a little bit at a time so I don't flood you guys with my crap XD

Thank you all for all the faves and comments, it always warms my heart and brings a smile to my lips! Thank you so much!

I'm seriously enjoying my holiday break, two weeks off feels pretty darn good after a whole bunch of hard work!  Plus, all the yummy home made sweets there is to be had :drool: (I have to be careful though, Holiday food is plentiful and my belly and thighs aren't liking it too much...:saddummy:)

I can't believe I'm saying this but it's finally snowing around here (the problem is: it'll take forever to leave now), it started a little bit before x-mas and today it's snowing it's ass off... *feels like curling up on the couch with a warm mug of coffee and a good book* :coffeecup:

Not much to report really, (I don't really have any cosplay projects because of school...) I need to finish Skyward Sword but I've been too busy with Star Wars the Old Republic :stormtrooper:  
What I really wanted to do was to wish you all a wonderful holiday season (and hope it's been good thus far), lots of love, peace and success for the new year to come and also to thank you all for the faves and comments (even though I don't come here as often, they still make me feel all fuzzy inside when I read them :aww:)

Oh! and a special thank you to :iconkiralacus: for giving a me DA subscription for Christmas! (Maybe it'll motivate me to get my ass here more often! lol)

I'm gonna leave you all with some Holiday submissions to spread some of the cheer! =D

Wow...Feels like forever and a day since I've been here..which is almost the case...:noes:  (Has some things changed around here?)

Too much has happened as of late for me to fill in on everything but as I suspected, school's keeping me insanely busy (amongst other things).  It's hard work and it stresses the ever living crap outta me but I love it.  I love what I've learned and the things I can now do and create.  It's a wonderful school with wonderful teachers and I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of that establishment.

I must say though, because of that, cosplay's pretty much been the last thing on my mind lately, mostly due to lack of time...I really don't know if I'll be able to attend cons like I've been doing these past two years, only time will tell.  Now, when I get some time for myself, I pretty much sack out! lol  Seriously, I used to be a night owl but now I'm dead tired by 11pm...pathetic...

For the past week though, instead of sleeping, I've been enjoying my Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword game! =D (No spoilers please, I'm not done with it!!!)  I wasn't sure at first but I'm liking it more as I play! :heart:

I know this is kind of a boring journal update but it had been 3 months since I wrote anything and I felt like showing some sign of life =P  Sorry about all the comments and messages I've been neglecting and that I'm unfortunately incapable of catching up with all of them but like always, I'm forever grateful for the faves and the comments, you guys are so awesome! :tighthug:

I'll post some pics of my Princess Aurora cosplay (thank you ~DarkWolfrin) and eventually, I'll post some pictures of my Disney World trip from last July (Time. Of. My. Life.). Also went and saw a Disney on Ice show last october, caught some pics of that too, it was fantastic!! :meow:

Y'all take care now! :blowkiss:

I'm not even sure what to write actually...:stare:

I've been feeling a little off lately, some serious messed up family business has my head spinning in every f**king directions and I'm not sure where I should stand...(It's too 'effed for me to get into details and I don't wanna bore anybody with it either.)

Which is mainly why I haven't been on DA much since Otakuthon (I don't have anything to post anyway...seriously regret not taking any pictures of my Aurora Cosplay...like an idiot...:grump:).  Anyway, I sound like a downer and I hate this.  It's not the way I usually like to use my journal.  So, I'm done complaining.  We'll pull through, I'll pull through, there's no other acceptable way.  Period.

Good part, school starts Monday for me and as much as I'm petrified, I truly can't wait.  Depending on how demanding school will be, I'll probably have to distance myself from DA a little bit (no big difference as of late...).  That being said, I really have no idea what the Cosplay future holds for me and what I'll be able to manage . :shrug: I know it's not something I'll be able to quit with the snap of a finger but I don't know if I'll be able to be as involved as I would usually be.  Only time will tell!

I also want to thank everybody who's faved my stuff and commented, it seriously means the world to me.  You guys' kindness has me on my butt sometimes and it deeply touches me.  Thank you again and you guys take care! :hug:



P.S. I can't wait for "Tangled Ever After" :hooray:

Otakuthon 2011 has come and gone like a flash.  It all happened so fast that parts of it are still a blur to me it seems. :confused:

Once again, I was forced to overcome my fears and entered the Masquerade. (:iconmonoxydedazote:, :iconguhigh:, :iconkiralacus: and all the other lovely people in that circle of dear friends can come up with good arguments sometimes...)  I really, truly did not want to participate because I wasn't a Novice anymore and having to enter as a Journeyman scared the ever living crap out of me (because I certainly do not have the experience or the talent!).  But when ~monoxydedazote came over to me during our late dinner on Friday with the masquerade director *jusdepomme....I kinda felt like I had to! lol

So I went to the registration table Saturday morning, entered with my Princess Aurora cosplay and like I had imagined, the masquerade was scary.  SO many talented people filled the novice and journeyman categories.  Fortunately for me, :iconmidnight-dance-angel: and her boyfriend were in my den in the green room so I had great people to talk to to release some of my stress (Gotta thank Nyan Cat for that too! XD).  I also owe a lot to my wonderful Den dad :iconmokmo82: for constantly having to try to calm me down lol

I felt a little disappointed once the masquerade was over because I honestly did not believe that my costume stood a chance.  But if anything, I had a good time regardless.  Somehow though, the judges deemed my work worthy enough for two prizes O.O Needless to say, I was extremely shocked.  And now, with the major prizes that I won, I'm an Artisan...now that scares the ever living SHIT out of me... :faint:

The the highlight of the week-end for me though is all the lovely people that I got to cross path with: :icongamblingspirit: and her group, :iconliquidnytrogen: & :iconmikacosplay:, :iconyamanekodemon: (killer Warrior of light!), :iconhenrickson:, :iconmourngrim:, :iconcyberfox007:, :iconaoifasd: and of course :icondarkwolfrin: & :iconalexis-rider: (I seriously hope I'm not forgetting anybody!).  Also, I want to thank :iconmoonrosesteam: for their unbelievable kindness.  I am so lucky to know all of these people.  Everyone's kindness toward me is touching and beyond appreciated.  I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. :heart:

I unfortunately did not get to take an pictures of my Sleeping Beauty cosplay which greatly disappoints me BUT, ~DarkWolfrin caught a few pictures of me before I had to go to the green room so I can't wait to see those!

I think I ranted enough, I'll stop boring you guys now! :blowkiss:

Double Edit For the Cosplays this Week End!

Otakuthon's tomorrow! Eeek!!

Ok so...4 days ago I finally decided to get off my ass and started working on my cosplay project for Otakuthon...Monday and Tuesday I did Aurora's dress, Wednesday I styled the wig and made jewleries and today I'm adding the final touches...I need to pack too...To top it all I had an order to make fudge, cream fudge, cookies and a birthday cake...I'm dead lol

I wasn't even sure if I was to cosplay at all this week-end but I'm glad I came through, I know I would've had regrets to not cosplay...

Here's what it's gonna be for the wee-end (last minute decision for friday!):

:star:Friday: Axel from Kingdom Hearts!
:star:Saturday: Sleeping Beauty's Princess Aurora (BLUE DRESS!!! HUZZAH!)
:star:Sunday: Most likely myself...bleh...

Time is ticking fast and I really need to finish this cosplay if I entend to wear it Saturday!  See you at the con guys, can't wait to see you all! :tighthug:

Aug.12th - Last second edit: I just want to do a quick reminder that I do not wear my glasses while I cosplay!  If I walk by someone I know and don't say Hi, it is not because I'm ignoring you!  I'm just blind....^^;

Carrousel of Progress anyone?  Anyway...

I had a wonderful summer and I hope you guys did too! (It's  not completely over yet so there's still some time left to enjoy if ya haven't! I'm still enjoying mine!)

I'm unfortunately back from my Disney World vacation (I honestly wish I was still there).  Best. vacation. ever.  I tried so many different food (thanks Epcot) and epic treats, took countless pictures, I truly had the time of my life.  Many memorable events happened over there; too many to start listing all of it but one of them would be me chopping off 2 of my 3 feet of hair.  I finally decided that it was time and grew the courage to commit the act.  I had my hair cut at the Ivy Trellis Salon in the Grand Floridian (gorgeous resort by the way) on my first day at Disney World.  I'm still getting used to it...never had it this short in my entire life! lol (I don't even think it brushes my shoulders...)

One thing I'll say about Disney World: I feel like an absolute turd when I stand next to a Disney Princess.  They are so tall and pretty! Rapunzel was beyond gorgeous, Aurora and Ariel too...well, it applies to all of them, really!  They should all be arrested for being that beautiful...I may have felt like crap standing next to them but I was so happy to see and talk to them! :love: And don't even get me started about Flynn not being there, I know the whole story and I refuse to accept it....*grumble* Man, I wanted to meet him, why did he have to leave 18 days before I went to Disney World?!?  WHY?!?

Anyway, when I came back home, I checked my mail and-and I'm in issue 270, August 2011, of Nintendo Power!!! :faint:  I can't believe it!!! It's so weird to see my homely mug in a magazine that I've been reading for so long! lol It gave me a happeh! :dummy:

Speaking of, I'm terribly late with my cosplay project...Otakuthon is in less than a week and I have NOTHING done, NOTHING...and the sad part is that I don't really feel like working on it either...Not even sure what I'm gonna end up doing...I have a lot of things to sort out and think through first.

Anyhow, enough ranting for now.  I really want to thank you guys for all the favorites and the lovely comments I got while I was gone!  I can't possibly reply to every single one of them (came back to 10 000+ messages and I'm not even done sifting through some of them yet) but I really, truly appreciate all of them! :tighthug:

First off, I want to apologize for my lack of presence/response as of late, I've been a crappy "penpal"... :saddummy:  At the same time, I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for faving my work.  It always means the world to me and still amazes me that some people would want my art in their faves...I usually like to thank everyone individually but I can't find the time for that right now unfortunately, which brings me to the reason of this journal.

I've decided to take a small hiatus from DA for the summer.  There are so many things to do, trips to plan/prepare, so many activities and events I am involved in that I honestly don't know where I can steadily fit DeviantArt into my life schedule at the moment.  I love DA but family, friends and summer is more appealing to me right now.  I don't even have cosplay on the brain to be honest...though I seriously need to finish my Aurora costume! (When the heck will I ever get around to do that?? :nuu:)

I'll come back every once in a while to look at pretty deviations and check out messages (maybe also get around to post some Anime North pictures...^^; ) but I just wanted to give a heads up as to why it might take a little longer than usual for me to reply.  (I will still check my e-mail every day for everybody out there who has my address and would like to get in contact with me :aww:)  I know I won't really be missed and that most of the people are busy during summer anyway but I felt like leaving a proper message for my good friends here on DeviantArt. ;P

:sun: Have a great summer you guys! :blowkiss: (I'll go ahead an post one more deviation before my DA break!) :sun:

Anime North was almost a week ago and I'm slowly starting to crawl my way out of the con funk…(plus I caught a cold :sneeze:)  Aside from rotting 1 ½ hour in the hotel lobby waiting for our room key and the absolutely crappy weather, Anime North was fun, like usual.  I ended up having to wear ALTTP Princess Zelda on the Friday (NO ONE knew who I was lol XD) and Peach on Saturday with :iconkiralacus: as Daisy when it was a little warmer outside (it seriously was too cold for me the wear her on Friday like I had planned).

My Zelda shoes left a big disgusting bruise on my left foot…never wearing those again...

The highlight of my weekend was crossing paths with some lovely DA people like
:iconalexis-rider:, :icondarkwolfrin:, :iconyamanekodemon:, :iconneversprout:, :iconmidnight-dance-angel:, :icongamblingspirit:, :iconhenrickson:, :iconmonoxydedazote:, :iconmoonrosesteam: and many more!  Though I am disappointed that I didn't get to see some of you, you know who you are…

Also wish I could have spent more time with ~monoxydedazote, ~MoonRosesTeam and Lulu but since they were staff this year, they had very little free time.  I went nuts for the  drink they told me to try at Starbucks though!  I cried when I finished it…it was so delicious! :iconiloveyouplz:

Now I just need to get off my ass and finish my Princess Aurora cosplay!  It needs to be ready for Otakuthon and I seriously hope it'll look good! :pray:

So beside blowing my nose constantly :runnynose :, I've been spending the week with ~KiraLacus at my place, chilling and eating too much plus I'm about to go make a Chocolate Pizza XD (I'm seriously gonna need to work out some, I feel gross lol)

Alrighty, I've ranted enough, I'm gonna go try making that sweet pizza now!  Wish you guys a great week-end! :blowkiss:

It was Goofy's birthday yesterday (May 25th 1932) and I had a caramel apple (that I made) in his honor! :dummy:  (Goofy's my favorite classic Disney character and any occasion is a good occasion to bake/eat sweets in my book! =D)

Okay, back to the subject!

So many wonderful things have happened this week but I'll get back to them in my next journal!  
Anime North's tomorrow and I'm getting the butterflies!  I'm almost done packing, need to double check to make sure I don't forget anything important!  (I almost forgot to pack my Peach crinoline AND my Hylian ears for Zelda…which would have made it impossible for me to wear either costume had I forgotten those lol)

I'd also like to apologize for my lack of response regarding deviations and journals, last minute preparations (amongst other stuff) are keeping me incredibly busy!

I hope to see many of you at the convention this week-end! I'll keep an eye out for you guys, keep an eye out for me if you can!  

I'm getting pumped! :la:

:bulletblack:FRIDAY: Princess Peach, Super Mario Bros.

EDIT MAY 10th:

So turns out, my computer was back to it's old "randomly rebooting" tricks in a matter of days after I thought I got it fixed so I had to return to the computer shop to see if I could get it fixed yet AGAIN but the problem was far more complicated than originally thought...The power supply wasn't the problem, the motherboard is...and at this point, there isn't much that can be done.

So now, for the first time in years, I am "PC-less" and will have to be for months because I simply cannot afford a new computer at the moment...

I loved my computer dearly and it will greatly be missed.  Good bye Dimension, we had a good run.

Dell Dimension 9200
2007-2011

▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

EDIT MAY 6th:

OOOoook so, I got my computer fixed and my suspicions were right, the power supply was what went wrong.  Unfortunately, getting it cleaned (cuz apparently I had kittens camping in my tower also), a brand new power supply and other misc. fees cost me $200 so no Rapunzel costume for me this year =(  I can't even begin to explain how bummed I am about this but having a functioning computer was more important than cosplay...

So here's my official cosplay list for Anime North 2011:

:bulletblack:FRIDAY:Princess Peach, Super Mario Bros.
:bulletblack:SATURDAY:Princess Zelda, A Link to The Past (This zelda right here [link]
:bulletblack:SUNDAY: Will most likely be myself since it's the day we're heading back home...Though I'm not sure yet...

I will finish and wear Princess Aurora for Otakuthon. (I've been doing lots of Princesses lately it would seem O.o)

▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

Been a long time since I (seriously) updated my journal so I felt like catching up some!   

First off, Cosplay!

Because of major events, I’ve had to alter my Cosplay choices for this year.   Number one reason for changes:   I’m finally fulfilling a great desire of mine; I’ll be going to Disney World this summer after well over a decade of wanting to go back (I’m literally pissing myself with excitement :la:).  Since going to WDW isn’t exactly cheap, I’ve had to make some changes to the list…

Unfortunately, Pit will have to wait a little…The wings and the weapons would have been a little much for my tight budget at the moment so I had to bench him =(

As a replacement for Pit, I went ahead and let myself be inspired by Disney (influenced by my future trip I guess =P ) and settled on my favorite classic Disney Princess of all Time: Sleeping Beauty’s Princess Aurora.  The BLUE dress! (She's about 50% done!)

It seemed like a good option because I’ve made a dress before so I (kinda) know what I’m doing but at the same time, I’m putting a lot of pressure on myself because I’ve held that character to such a high standard since I was a very small child.  I always idealized her beauty and worshiped her fairy tale but frankly, I don’t know if I can pull that off!  LoL  I will certainly try my hardest to honor my favorite Princess! (And I’ve had to make my own pattern! Gaah! It’s tough! Lol)

Number two reason:   My beloved computer just crapped on me :crying:  It magically booted itself last night while it was turned off (which really had me believing it was a ghost at first lol) and now it just doesn’t boot all the way, it makes this weird little noise and it constantly keeps on trying and trying to boot so I have to unplug it from the wall for it to remain turned off…(I’m thinking the power supply might be the suffering piece but I still don’t understand how it turned itself on though…)

Until I find out how much it will cost to fix it and what the problem is exactly, I have to put Rapunzel on ice :worry: (This seriously bums me out… I already have some of the fabric and accessories…I really don’t want to give up this one…)

Anime North

Roll call!  Who’s going to Anime North?  Raise your hands!  =D  I hope I’ll get to see some people this year because I didn’t really get to see/catch up with ANYBODY I know last year…which kinda sucked…

Also, I like to warn that since I do not wear my glasses during Cosplay (and I don’t wear contacts), I can be a little blind at times…  If I walk by someone I know and don’t say Hi, it is NOT because I’m ignoring you, I just didn’t see you ^^;

Though it needs some SERIOUS fixing, I’ll be bringing Princess Peach (because I promised ~KiraLacus that I would Cosplay with her as she sports her Daisy costume for the first time) and depending on the computer situation, my other cosplay will either be Princess Zelda from A Link To the Past that I didn’t get to wear yet or Princess Aurora/Sleeping Beauty.  I updated my Cosplay list at the end of this journal…

Misc.

I’ve been thinking  about getting a tumblr account…should I get one?  Still not too sure how the whole thing works…

Anyway, I’ll stop ranting…I think I wrote enough lol  Have a great week-end you guys! :blowkiss:

I will soon update my journal again regarding upcoming cons and projects but first, I was tagged by ~KungFuHime2009 (8 Things about myself) AND ~Eaglelives (80 questions) but since I did the “8 Things about myself”  something like 4 times already (and I’m running out of random things to say cuz I’m boring), I figured that answering the following questionnaire would kinda count as well.

EDIT: Feb. 1st 2011

I'm back from my little vacation! (Had almost 7000 messages in my DA inbox O.O  I can't possibly catch up with all of that...)I had such a wonderful time.  For the first time ever, I went horseback riding (My horse kinda looked like Epona =D His name was actually Willow and he was the sweetest thing ever!).  It was one of the best experiences of my life, seriously.

The other highlight of my vacation is that I got to spend some time (hours and hours...) in a Disney Store!

This is pretty much what I looked like when I walked in : :icongwahplz:

I bought so much stuff, it's not even funny :XD: (Here's a lil sneak peek [link] also got some Tangled fabric at Joann [link] , I'm gonna make some PJ bottoms and a blanket with that =D)

It did me a world of good to escape for a little while and I really want to thank everyone who took the time to leave me a thoughtful message.  It truly means a lot to me and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! :iconloveredplz:  


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I have absolutely been disconnected from Deviant Art (amongst other things) for the past few days because an unpredicted event has me re-evaluating how I will go about with my daily routine, how will I cope with the void that's been left everywhere...

I will rarely ever talk or truly complain about serious personal issues on my DA journal because I honestly don't like to.  So, I will not dive into the details of this recent misfortune because mercifully today, it all came to a full circle in it's own way.  It doesn't take the pain away but it makes it a bit easier to move on.

I don't mean nor wish to sound like a downer or overly emotional but I just had a hard time lately going on DA or anywhere else and replying with a chipper mood that I honestly did not mirror.  All in all, I just wanted to let good friends here know why I've been non responsive and say that I'm sorry.  I'm sorry for ignoring beautiful deviations and not paying too much attention to journals and comments...

But enough of the depressing stuff!  Head strong, gotta keep on moving! :phew:

I also wanted to say that I'll be gone till the end of January/early February because I'm going to Virginia to see some family.  I truly can't wait to see everyone and eat some good food (good comfort food :hungry:).  I'll try to check my messages and stuff but I'm honestly not sure how much time I'll get to spend on a computer. :shrug:

Oh, and I found some good patterns (that will require lots of modifications) for my Rapunzel cosplay!  I'm too excited about that one...

Also, I was tagged by :icontuna-yuna: and promised I would do it so here it is!

Rules.
1. Post these rules
2. Each tagged person must post ten facts about themselves on their journal
3. Choose five friends and put their icon on the same page
4. Go to their page and send a message saying you tagged them
5. NO TAGBACKS!

1) I was tagged by this "10 Facts" tag 4 times.

2) I am fangirling all over the place for Tangled.

3) I asked for a trip to Disney for my birthday...but I was pretty much told that it wouldn't happen... T^T

4) I hate being short.

5) I have a very good sense of smell.

6) I really want to go back to Disney World...Disney Land would be fine too...

7) I have a hard time thinking of something that's not too personal to put here...

8) I can consume more Cold Stone ice cream that a full grown man.

9) I have a deep love for animals. (Abused animal commercials make me cry...)

10) Reading 1 through 9, I now see that I'm pretty boring... =P

I tag...everyone!

To finish, I want to thank everybody from the bottom of my heart for the 20 000 page views! Wow, 20k, I can barely believe it! :wow:

I wish you all a pleasant week and I will leave you guys with some Tangled stamps because they make me smile.  See y'all in February! :aww:
