Fit To CosPlay

Those gray slacks I mentioned before for the Haru Glory CosPlay project... I had some difficulties with them when I was buying them. I got them at a Super Wal-Mart, but I didn't know what size I wore, so I guessed and took it home (after paying, duh). But when I tried them on, they were way too small. So I went back that night to get a refund, but the Customer Service center was closed.

I went ahead and bought the largest pair they had in that color, but they were a 2 digits smaller than what my mother said I wore. But I got them anyway. When I got home I tried them on. They fit, but feel a little tight. But when I sit down they were very tight... Not a good this, considering we are going to get into costume before we leave for the Kon, which is 2 hours away from where I live...

The next day I went to the second Super Wal-Mart a little further away to see if they had a larger size in the color I need... They had less choices than the one I am closer too. So I was not happy about driving out that far for nothing. So I came back to the original one, got my money back on the smallest pair. I decided to take one last look, incase they put out some more.... Nope. So home I went.

When I got home, I came to a decision. I will just loose weight. I've been talking about it forever now, and I will kind of start then stop days later. Pathetic. But now I am truly determined to loose weight so I can fit into those paints with no problem. I have 4 months to do it in. I think I can do this.

I am having my mother help me by yelling at me if she catches me eating too much or snacking a lot. She bought me some healthy stuff to snack on when I get the munchies. I am going to buy a lot of sugar free gum so that I have something to chew on and I wont feel like eating. I am also taking natural green tea extract pills to help increase my matabalisim, and crub my hunger. I am going to try extremely hard!

Kind of sad that dressing up in a costume is what gives me the determination to loose weight, rather than anything else... But hey, that's just me. So wish me luck my friends.

(Last year at A-Kon, I lost 10 pounds in 3 days from all the none stop walking I did. I gained 5 back, cause it was water weight, but I was able to keep off the other 5 pounds. Woo~! Maybe I will loose some at A-Kon this year to add on what I hope I loose before A-Kon.)

ANIME MUSIC

YOSH~!!!

I've had this MP3 on my computer for a long time now. I recognize it from an anime but for the lives of me I could NOT rememeber what anime it was from. It's been driving me crazy forever!

I listen to an anime radio station over the internet and they just started to play it!!! I was like, "YOSH~!!!" So now I have a stereo going on, playing the MP3 with the radio and I have it at the exact same times so it's like double! Woo~!!!

More CosPlay Craziness

Well, I did want to perform a skit on Saturday night of A-kon. See, CosPlayers can sign up to do a walk-on modeling, or do a skit in their costumes. Walk-ons have winners and Skits have winners. But it's first come first serve for sign-ups, and only a certain amount can sign up for either.

I made a script and planned it all out and discussed it with Maniac. It was going to be funny and really cool. I think so anyway. He liked it too, but then he told me the bad news.

He said that he wanted to try it the year before, thinking like me that all we had to do was sign up on Friday then come an hour or two early on Saturday to reherse... No. We have to wait in line all day Friday if we are lucky enough to make the sign up. We have to wait for others to perform their skits to be allowed then perform ours. Then they tell the perfromers what is wrong and what needs to be changed to be allowed. Then you have to start over in line waiting for your turn again. This can go on till 3am on Sat. Which means your whole Friday A-Kon is gone before your eyes. Then you have to show up several hours ealry for rehersal and planning if you have music and cues.... So... It's not worth it... ::sigh::

Also, Maniac is thinking about dressing as a human version of this guy: K.K. Slider. He is from "Animal Crossing," a GameCube game. On Saturdays he will play a song at your request. It's fun to listen to him. If he decides to do this, he will bring his guitar, and learn some of K.K. Slider's songs and try to really play and sing them for some cash on Friday. (You really need to hear his songs. It's greatness.)

All day at work I have been contemplating how to make those swords... I think I have some sound plans at the moment... I just need to rebuild my checking account a little... HAd to buy Resident Evil 4 yesterday, along with gas so... took me down a bit. ::tear:: I don't make enough money...

CosPlay Breazy

Yo.

I need to start getting back into writting in this thing more often. As for my last recent entry, I really don't recall all I said in it, and I don't feel like looking it up, but I am sure I was very upset in it. Well, I am over it. I am just happy she has found some one, who looks like makes her happy. Whether I will ever find someone for myself is unclear at this point, but it's okay. If I am meant to be with someone, we will find each other.

My ex apologized last night. I was telling her that two of my friends are planning on getting engaged to their girlfriends soon. Out of the blue she responds, "Does it hurt you a lot that other people are getting engaged and you aren't anymore?" I answered truthfully, that it did a little. It does hurt, but I am so very happy for them. But when I told her it did a little, she said, "I am sorry..." I told her not to worry about it and not to apologize, that it was okay.

And truly, it is okay. This is the path she chose to go down, and there was never any real chance of me following her path. if she had never moved, we could have gone down one path together, but ever since that move, I was only waving at her across a field from my path. Maybe along the way I will find someone who's path joins mine. I just want for her to always be happy. Though I am not fond of the names she chose for her child if it is a boy.

Now on to the CosPlay thing. Maniac and I have been cracking down and getting serious about A-Kon. Last year the dude in charge cheated Maniac out of his Kon money and our room. This year Maniac is in charge and I am like the secretary. We got our room reserved and we have all the prices figured out... If we are able to get 4+ people to go with us. We think we might, but aren't sure. Rion, if he goes, is getting his own room, so that is not going to help us in the least.

Originally I was going to dress as the Moonlight Knight (or this, and this.) from "Sailor Moon R" on Saturday (the major CosPlay day) and Haru Glory (from Groove Adventure Rave) on Firday when I get there. But plans have changed.

Maniac has a new favorite series by the people who did "Cowboy Bebop." It is called "Samurai Champloo." He wants to dress as Mugen and he wants me to to do Jin. I was all for that. So now we are doing those two on Saturday and I will still be doing Haru on Friday. I like doing a group CosPlay better than solo, so this will be cool. And Bebop fans should recognize us.

I made a drawing of me as both characters and labled what I needed. I've been colleceting the pieces I need for each slowly. As for Haur, I could not find a short sleeved black shirt or white slacks. So I got a long sleeved black shirt and gray slacks. The second third of the series he wears a long sleeves black shirt with gray symbols on the sleeves and gray slacks, so I will do that version. (Like this.) Jin, I am getting a lot of Japanese clothing from eBay. Just need to add those diamonds. Alread got the glasses.

I think the most difficult parts to do will be to make the swords. I need a long and short traditional samurai swords for Jin... Not having luck finding any fake swords I could use... Might have to make-shift some wooden practice ones and make sheaths out of paper mache`. As for the sword Haru uses. That big one behind him is his sword, but it can transform into 9 other shapes. I wish to make this shape: Runesave... You know, for the last week I could not find a picture of it till just now... Anyway, it's also green. This I have an idea of how to make, but it's going to take some time... Good thing I have 4 months to go.

And to top it all off, I need to find a stuffed animal of this thing: Plue. It like, follows Haru around and is a key to the whole story you find out later on.

Well... I think that is enough writing. On to more research for CosPlay~!!!
