Hey all!  Long time no journal!  I've been meaning to be more active on dA for quite a while now, and figured I should start with this.  ^^

I definitely want to be more active on here and post many more things.  I log into dA daily, actually, but I just haven't seemed to know what to say or do (and have also been pretty busy).  I intend to upload many more pictures soon, as well as fill up more parts of my profile.  I'm really interested in getting more photoshoots of my costume as well, and am hoping to look into that soon.

I'm happy to say that, through a lot of help from many different people, I've learned some about sewing this year!  I was happy to sew many parts of my Laguna Loire cosplay and to really learn that with some know-how and determination, that I can make things in a way I never have before.  ^^  I definitely had a lot of fun at Fanime debuting my Laguna Loire cosplay!  ^^

Now, onto AX!

I've been looking forward to this for quite some time, and it feels hard to believe that it's almost here!  I think I have a pretty good idea of what my AX cosplay schedule will be like (though it might change, of course.)

Day 0: Instead of going right to the convention, I might actually stop at 's house and probably either stay in a nearby hotel, or leave late that night.  Things aren't finalized yet.

Day 1: Laguna Loire from Final Fantasy VIII

Day 2: Laguna Loire from Final Fantasy VIII for the FF Gathering, then Sollux Captor from Homestuck with and and many others, and then possibly Watanuki from xxxHolic with later that evening/night

Day 3: Laguna Loire from Final Fantasy VIII

Day 4: Haven't quite decided yet.  I might have to leave pretty early.  I'm thinking possibly Terra from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, or Watanuki from xxxHolic with .
I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun this year and can't wait for AX to come!  ^_^
