Hee hee.. a total role reversal! If you're confused about it, the Vash isn't me, it's Jase of Moon Milk Arts, a friend of mine. For more reference in this comic, see Ushicon Report Day 2. At Otakon, I dressed up as a girl. I dunno what's scarier.. the fact I fit in that skirt.. or the fact I don't look so bad in it. =} So, here's the full story as to why I put a skirt on in the first place. =} At Akon, I met Fred of Megatokyo fame and he made the comment that I could probably cosplay as a pretty good Yuki. So, with much juggling, I decided to cosplay as Sad Girl in Snow Yuki for Piro's MT panel. I guess it was a rather improptu thing because it seemed to come up as a surprise to the people of Mac Hall. =/ I hope I didn't throw a wrench into their plans. =;.;= Maybe later today, when my brother gets his computer's charger, I can up some photos of me in that skirt. My brother's luggage got lost on the airplane at the airport. Maybe it got shipped on another plane since it was too big/heavy? Hopefully so. They said they'd call us if it came in. Something I've noticed recently that's been on my mind. I have good fortune. Well.. not exactly. I have normal fortune. I just tend to ignore/walk over and keep going over bad fortune. A lot of people at Otakon seemed to come back from it.. kinda bummed. Because things didn't go as they planned. Because they didn't make as much money as they would have hoped. I can completely sympathise with Ian of Mac Hall who had his bag stolen (I was there when it was found to be gone =\) but when people complain about anything else because it didn't go 'as planned', I get miffed. Ian lost something physical and tangible that was his personal belonging. He has the right to complain. When anyone else has everything right in the world except the image they have painted in the head and then have the absolute balls to complain about how it didn't go "right" or that they're "disappointed".. geez, for christ's sake.. are you so busy looking at the dirt on the floor for something to complain about that you can't see everything that went 'well'? To see the happiness around you? And I'm not talking about anyone in particular.. it's just that, of everyone I know or have seen or talked to or read web forum messages from, it's like.. people.. both 'fan' and 'guest' alike expected to walk through the doors of Otakon and have magic happen, making everything picture perfect. Nothing ever goes picture perfect. Why would Otakon be any better? Why would anything life gives you be any better? It'll be and will always only be as good as _you_ make it. So stop whining and pick up your feet and go on a journey! Do something with your life. Look back at the stumbles that happened but don't be sad about them. Learn from them. Talk to some people about them. Just don't whine about it. Hum a song, skip along to the beat, and make progress in your life. Anything else and everything else is just noise.

Otakon rocked. If I may say so, it was magical. Bre was cute. Lisa was cute. Matt was cool. Luis was cool. Darren was cool (though I have to say, a little bit sensitive. Calm down, we like you!) Young looked good in drag. I wonder how I look. I'm sure I'll get my account suspended if I link my Photo Album to Nekobox, but I've got 3 pages up (PhotoAlbum3.html, PhotoAlbum4.html, and PhotoAlbum5.html), so ask me or guess, those who need to see will be able to :D
