HEY ALL! I'm back (probably, lol).

I'm trying to get back into cosplay and such, so I'm keeping my social media pages updated! Gonna try to keep up, haha.

I have a slight backlog of content. No full costumes, but I've had some fun themed make-up looks (Halloween theme days at work). I'm going to be doing a new make-up look every week (and some will be character themed), so I'll be uploading those.

If I can save up in time for Fanime, maybe I'll have a new costume?

Hello again, everyone. I obviously haven't been posting much in a while. There's a few reasons for that.

1: WHERE ARE MY DAMN FANIME PHOTOS?! I got tons of pictures in Punk Elsa, but I can't find ANY! And I'm still waiting on photos for SY from other people. The struggle is real.

2: My birthday is coming up which means I'm in depression mode. My birthdays always suck and it's a reminder that I'm a year older and have nothing to show for it. So I just spend most days in bed if I don't have to work.

3: I'm attempting to find another/better job. So I've applied for about 8-10 jobs in the past few days. So far, no success but 4 rejections Also adds to my sadness.

4: I've got this new thing going on called RANDOM PAIN EVERYWHERE. No idea what's causing it. I get nerve pain in random areas of my body at random times. Never lasts more than a few minutes at a time but it goes on all day. Super irritating. I doubt a doctor will take me seriously when it's just "Yeah, so sometimes I hurt a lot but only for a few seconds. Halp plz?". Also our health insurance went up so doctor visits and meds are more expensive. I can't afford to go to the doctor only to hear "We can't help you". I also have been sleeping extra terrible lately. So I've been taking Valium and/or Lunesta just to fall asleep, but then I don't stay asleep and wake up feeling like an absolute zombie. So then I just stay in bed feeling tired and sad and hurting. And then I don't eat or exercise. Makes me not want to do things.

I'm really hoping that I can get a better/additional job soon. Maybe that will alleviate the stress which will make my symptoms go away and I'll be happier and can get cosplay stuff done.

Also hopefully my birthday won't suck ass.

First off, you may notice my journal is a bit plain today. My premium membership ran out lol I'll re-instate it later after I pay for my Fanime trip. So next month. Not that it really matters? But I like it.

So, Fanime was about 2 weeks ago. I don't really have many photos yet, but I'll post them as I find them. I have a two part con vlog/con report video on my YouTube channel, here's the first one! (I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD LINK VIDEOS IN JOURNALS): 

So my channel has been more active. I've posted work-logs and tutorials on the making of my Shunya Yamashita armor, with still another video to come on the wings. Then I'll be doing more tutorials and work-logs as I work on my Morrigan remake. So you should check it out!

As for costumes, I actually have started working on Lara Croft (Tomb Raider 3 aka classic variation). I have the guns, shorts, boots (ordered), and wig (ordered). I thought my shirt would work, and it will unless I can find/make something better. But I don't currently want to break the bank for this lol. Still need to make the holsters and backpack. Then, for the next event, I plan to have Morrigan ready (staff and all!). I hope to get Lara Croft and Archer shoots before then. Then I'll probably start working on Hawke and Elsa, though I don't know for which events lol.
