B I M Y O U

Oh, don’t get me wrong! I love cosplay. But the thing is, it’s a doozy. It’s a lot of work, a lot of money, and a lot of time. But aside from those downers (depending on the day xD), cosplay combines two things that I love: anime and arts and crafts.

Within that arts and crafts is sewing and it’s probably quite obvious now that I love to sew. However, sometimes, I have the same issue with sewing as I do with drawing. Some days I am fantastic at it and other days I suck. I’ve been in that funk about sewing for a while now, but all of a sudden, I’m getting the itch to sew again.

Just after I took my sewing machine home. TT_TT I took it back home for winter break and made the ’seemingly’ hard decision to leave it there. Now, I miss Azulito! ;_;

You know what probably spurred this on? I happened to check out Anime Central’s (Acen) website for this year. Surprisingly, I hadn’t been on that site for the last year, going on two. I went to Acen 2008, and hadn’t thought about it much since. Acen 2009, was after all, within my last week of finals. (And I had to focus more on that. Hmm, let me weigh those two options in the scheme of life. Education “does not equal” Anime Conventions. I might have argued this point many years earlier. xD)

But this year, Acen comes at the end of my final’s week and I’m thinking, maybe I can go this year? I would really like to do it… but I feel kinda foolish for wanting to do something like that again. I don’t know why. I feel as if I’m… almost getting too old and I now have obligations I have to focus on. Which I do, and I’ve no problem with responsibility. I’m just wondering if I should go through this whole thing again. :-/ Oh well, only God knows.

I also happened upon another convention, Anime Saint Louis (AnimeSTL), and I’m really curious about checking it out! Maybe I can convention hop? I believe that if I had my driver’s license, all of this could be a whole lot easier. =_=() But again, only time will tell.

So in the meantime of wishing and hoping and praying, I’d like to work on my old cosplay! You know, the one I talked about in the previous post? My Shuurei Kou from Saiunkoku Monogatari. I figured I only had enough “time” to fix on that one instead of trying to take on a whole new one. Yeah, I had better not. My family would kill me for sure this time! ^o^

Well, that’s all. I really missed writing on here. Bimyou! I have not forgotten you! … for long… =D Just kidding!

Love,
