So, I've been on vacation for around 2 weeks now. It's been great, really, but I'm ready to hop into gear now. Too bad I'm stuck in a condo with little kids crawling everywhere. The positive side is that I learned that my 4-year-old cousin likes to eat lemons. Straight up. Uh huh...

So, summer is kind of "cosplay season" for my friends and me, if you will. I've made two costumes already this summer: one I'm incredibly proud of (Rikku from FFX) and another that I wish I had done better (Namine) I'll probably remake that...one day. (The procrasinator's creed ) Check them out here->

The only convention we get to go to yearly is coming up. Mechacon in Lafayette, LA. July 24-26. Good stuff. This will be my...3rd year going and my 2nd year cosplaying. This year, as plans are made, changed, and rearranged, I'm going as Princess Peach one day...and I'm not sure of the second... Perhaps the March Hare? Or maybe a random bystander? Time will tell.

Nevertheless, I've started making plans for future cosplays. I obtained a spiral bound notebook the other day and presently began sketching, brainstorming, crunching numbers etc. etc. The great thing is, I enjoy all the pre-planning immensely. Even though I kinda suck at drawing. It's all very laughable, really. But you have to have a gameplan, right? I'd go mental if I didn't.

I won't divulge all my plans now (especially if they end up falling through, then I'd feel foolish), but I will let one out, because I WILL DO IT! RAWR!

Nabooru from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. ACKACKACK. I hope I don't end up regretting it, but she's a character I...respect a lot. The Gerudo Valley Theme is also my favorite song. Of all time. Nice correlation, if I do say so myself.

...Realizing that I look nothing like her pigment-wise, we'll probably crack out the airbrush machine again for that... AS LONG AS the owner of it allows (RACHEL I'M BEGGING YOU!)

More plans, but I'll try to move in moderation. I'd hate to wear myself out right before school starts

Senior year FTW
