I now talk to all my friends like it's a police interview and god help them if I catch them in a lie!
(and why do they always flee)

lovely pictures

thank you!

I can not wait to see the video. Just out of curiosity, is your Power Rangers shirt from the original ones or is the Green Ranger from the Samurai series. My boyfriends son, who is four is obsessed with that show. We got him several of the action figures for his birthday on the 5th. I have a feeling he will be wanting to attend conventions with us in the future. Or so we can hope. They are a blast! I am glad you had a great time.

To answer your question about dressing up for Tsubasacon, I so wanted to. Prior to going to convention last October, I had to actually finish my very first anime series. I had recently subscribed to the anime network through my cable provider and one day I noticed an anime called "To Love Ru." I read the preview for it and decided to give it a whirl. After watching one episode I was hooked and started looking on the net for the rest of the episodes. In case you haven't seen it, the main synopsis of this particular anime is Yuuki Rito, a high-school boy who cannot confess his love to the girl of his dreams named, Sairenji Haruna. One day when coming home and sulking in the bath-tub a mysterious, nude girl, appears out of nowhere. Her name is Lala and she comes from the planet Deviluke, where she is the heir to the throne. Her father wants her to return to her home planet so she can marry one of the husband candidates, but she decides that she wants to marry Rito in order to stay on Earth. So basically it was a love/science fiction sort on anime.

Anyhow, after watching "To Love Ru," I noticed I had a lot of similarities with the character of Sairenji. We were both short, petite, and had purple hair (which I no longer have ) Anyhow, so I mentioned to my boyfriend, Pezmaster that I was thinking of looking for cosplay costumes for that anime. Sure enough they had the exact school girl uniform that Sairenji throughout the entire anime. I seriously considered ordering it. Pezmaster however, suggested that I do not dress up for cosplay my first year. He said that it would be better if I got a feel for how the convention was and met some people there first, since I had never been. He has gone for several years now. So ultimately, I listened to his advice.

It is held ever year in October in Huntington, West Virginia, which is almost two hours away from our home. We are already making plans to go and I really want to dress up this year. So who knows what will happen. The best thing about Tsubasacon in my opinion was all the great Japanese food and candy as well as the amazing rave they hold on the last night. It was my first rave as well! I also got to meet a really cool voice actor named Spike Spencer. So it was a lot of fun and I can not wait until October to go back. This year it is few days before my birthday so I will really get to celebrate.

Thanks so much for the recommendations on some good anime to check out. I am still trying to find what genre it is I really like!

The cat will be pissed for awhile but he will adjust. He won't thank you or buy you flowers or anything though.

I agree with suispud1, you cat is going to be pissed for days. I remember when I took my Main Coon Leo to get neutered he cried the whole way to the vet. Then peed all over himself in the cat carrier because he is an indoor kitty and the noises outside scared him. Now every time he sees the cat carrier he pees instantly. Good luck with the rest of the semester and I definitely think you should treat yourself with the tattoo. Be sure to post pictures when you get it done.

I can not cook unless there is a microwave or drive-thru involved. LMAO! That is the extent of my culinary abilities. Unless you count grilled cheeses and fried eggs gourmet. I sure do not. Hey, at least you tried. I would not have even attempted something that advanced. Although, I am sure I could have least gotten the water to boil for the pasta correctly! *giggles* Better luck next time.

Thanks miss. So far I sew bags, phone sleeves, book sleeves, odds and ends, nothing fancy. I don't have an Etsy store, I need to sew up a bunch of stuff to sell before I open one up. One of these days though.

If I do tell her, it would def be after the weekend. That way if it backfires, there's time to regroup and rethink.
