Cosplay Status

So we're about 6 days away from salivating to death at
Otakon, so I know you all are curious as to know what the
status of my costumes are in?

Either that or you're wondering why the hell do I keep
going on and on about this fucking convention. Damn it's
just a pack of nerds hanging out together, why the hell is
she making such a big hairy ass deal out of it?!

And I'm making such a big hairy ass deal out of it
because, A) I have nothing else better to talk about and
B) Otakon is the big one as well as being my little mini-
vacation away from that hell hole of an office for a few
days. Give me a chance to kick back and not have to deal
with the hell that is my job.

However, my costumes are just about done. Chi is
absolutely done, even though there is a little strip of
lace that needs to be added, I don't think I'll be adding
it. I'm just not in the mood to do it. Besides all
sewing had to be finished by me today, because the rest of
this coming week is devoted to washing and packing.

But Chi is done. Mama is now 100% complete. I even found
some gauntlet style gloves I could butcher for cheep and
the buckles for the strappy things were added Thursday
night. While I may lack a few other accessories like a
big knife and a utility belt, I have all the basic
essentials that make Mama Virtuous Mission Mama.

"Ordained by God" despite being the outfit that has caused
me SOOOOOO much trouble. Despite my fabric store closing
down and not being able to get the original white crosses
I wanted. Despite combing the internet for hours looking
for iron-on white appliqué crosses only to come up with
nothing! Despite it all, I still managed to
finish "Ordained by God" today.

Well, actually it's not completely finished. It's about
97% finished. I have to do my bit with the eyelets now.
Oh and I found my eyelet maker. It was in with my other
fabric stuff over J'aime's house.

Tomorrow, I'm going to finish up writing chapter fifteen
of Love's Sorrow, and then put that on hold for the week
until after I come back from the con. Then I'm going to
wash my clothes and hair, which will probably be done very
early in the morning, since it gets so ass hot out. Then
I'm going to write down all the questions and answer to
the MGS quiz as well as my research information.

There's this guy who runs this mega kick ass site. I
forget the name of it, but damn if it's not a wealth of
information! I've learned so much about the games. I
mean stuff I never thought about in a zillion years, but
sometimes it takes someone else to point out stuff you may
overlook.

So that's my plans for tomorrow. I'm hoping they'll pan
out that way, cause I have five days to get ready for this
claptrap and most of those days will be spent between
working and packing.

Woo-hoo: My costumes are nearly done and I'm really
looking forward to this convention next week. Hopefully a
good time will be had by all.

Barf: I'm kinda sleepy right now. I guess I'll shower
and go to bed.
