Seriously. These urges I'm having to make cosplay? I'm pretty sure they fall under the symptoms of addiction. So, here's a list of things that I currently need to make and want to make just so I can keep them straight.

Need to make:
Kio - Loveless
McCoy - Star Trek (reboot)
Someone from Tales of Symphonia
Grell - Black Butler

Need to fix (soonish):
Soul - Soul Eater
Xigbar - KH2
Sniper - TF2

Want to make (Maybe. Eventually. Ideally):
Emily - Corpse Bride
Nero - Star Trek (reboot)
Gabranth - FFXII
Link - LoZ: Twilight Princess/SSB Melee
Scout's Mom x2 - TF2
Someone from House
9th Doctor - Doctor Who
Rorschach - Watchmen
Spike - Buffy
Aragorn/Strider - Lord of the Rings
Ron Weasley - Harry Potter
Someone from Heroes

and I may add more as I think of them! Woo!

So the cosplay picnic was eeeeepic! I had a whole lo of fun with people I never get to see etc etc etc. <3 Too lazy to go into detail.

But! The topic of this post is actually to people who may be looking for a room for Fanime since I know some of you were shafted and ended up having to drop it due to not having a room. A friend of mine, G-bright, had a lot of people drop from her room and now she's looking to fill back up. So! If you're interested I can pass along a message and get you hooked up with her. =3

Sniper Riffle Tutorial I'm really bad at updating this journal thing, aren't I? Well, I ended up making a tutorial for my sniper riffle for my Sniper cosplay from Team Fortress 2 for an image board and thought it might do well here, too. ^^

So I've been working almost constantly on a Balthier cosplay, from Final Fantasy XII. I supposed I should post some progress pics, since I've been a little lacking in those. |D

( High image load. )

So there we go. I'm trying to get this sucker done by Sand Diego Comic Con in the middle of July, but we'll see. I'm going on vaccation to Yellowstone for two weeks and that'll cut into my crafting time quite a bit. I'll be taking everything I can sew by hand, like details on the belts and the hair line lace.

So, me n' DemonicGaara and AntiquityDreams went photoshooting this weekend. Whoooo~ I took pics of them in Genin Naruto gettup with their umbrellas, and I went as Xigbar 'cause I've never been happy with the majority of the pics I've gotten as him. Forgot my gloves, though...

( Lots of large photos, sorry for low bandwidth people. )

I'm really sort of falling head first into this fandom, aren't I? Oh well! I enjoy it and all that good stuff. This is something of a WIP journal, 'cause I'm going to post in-progress pics of Kaku in here. I'm going to try and start doing this from now on for all my new cosplays.

( Lots of images, sorry to slow connections. )

That's cool, I like Jyabura. XD

Borebom + no homework = messing around with cosplay. Natch. So, I did some impromptu Kaku makeup and took a pic LOL--> (link)

::Coughcough:: Ahem. May I please direct your attention to this journal post ---> (link)

That is all.

My dad, though well meaning in every way, has a tendency to hijack my computer and/or connection cord. So, when I got home tonight I was all ready and rarin' to RP. But! Lo and behold my dad had conceived of some contraption or other so we can both work off the same internet port, but it required he (surprise surprise) steal my comp for... oh... four hours.

It was also sprung on me this afternoon that I'm going to LA tomorrow at nine am so my mom and aunt can coo over my new second-cousin. Good news for me? I think I'm going to Disney Land with a cosplay friend and we're going as Organization XIII members! XDDD Do you have any idea how happy that makes me?

So, we're going to be in a motel down there and I no idea if there will be internet. If so, I'll be on tomorrow night. If not, well, I'll see you Thursday night. I'm so sorry! ::grovels:: Have I mentioned my family is insane? Well, they're insane.
