The details below might be helpful in answering if you'd like to be added.

~ let me know where you know me from, or where I know you from. I meet a lot of people at Expos and conventions, my memory kind of sucks - so this is really to remind me. ^^U

~ do we have anything in common? It'll help.

~ it helps too if you like

~ if I don't get back to you immediately, or don't add you, please don't be offended. It may be I don't feel I know you well enough, or that I haven't been on my laptop. ^^;

This is weird.

I've been having tingling down my right arm sporadically for the past two months or so. But over the past two or three days its become more insistant and almost painful.
I can't move my little finger or the finger beside that very much without getting pain in them, and now my wrist is starting to feel really sore.

Its a bit of a pain cause I use my right hand for almost everything - cause I'm right handed funnily enough. And while its not unbearable, it noticeable. And the tingling hasn't lasted for this long.

I'm thinking that if it continues I'm going to go to the doctor. It might just be how I'm sitting at work or something. But I want to be sure - cause its kind of weird.

Something tells me I shouldn't have taken my decongestant tablet on an empty stomach... =___=

FINALLY UPLOADED THEM ALL. *dies*

All the photos from Saturday and Sunday are uploaded for the Final Fantasy shoots. I have the general ones from Saturday to go through, but that shouldn't take an age. I hope.

These are the ones from Sunday.

Tell me what you think - where I should improve etc.

Y'know - if you want.

Saturday Final Fantasy shoot done! Hurrah!

I love the Kuja, Zidane, Zorn and Thorn photos. I loved stealing them for a while. :D

Photos here.

Let me know what you think. Where I can improve that kind of thing. :]
(but be nice about it, I'm only a noive unlike all the other photographers on my f-list who win!)

Next comes Sunday, then general Saturday photos!

I've done Sundays (mainly cause there's not many from then!)

Photos here

Tell me what you think!

Saturday and photoshoots coming soon.

*starts hunting ebay for hoop skirts*

Expo report and photos coming.... soon. When I've gone through the 700 or so I have.

I have acquired twelve metres of tulle for my Tactics Aeris petticoats (petticoats!).
Eight of those twelve metres are is really sticck tulle used on ballet tutus (but its not nice to sit on). The other four metres is soft tulle which is flimsier but very nice to sit on.

I hope to get the petticoat done tonight and make a start on the shirt. I'll get all my stuff ready to packing tonight and pack tomorrow morning as it shouldn't take me too long. As aside from costumes, I'm not taking that much.

*is currently compling a list*

And seriously. If anyone see's me going near a fabric store in the next two weeks, you have permission to physically beat me to near death.

Yeah, okay.
I'm doing this one for Minami.
I bought the material and patterns today even though I can't really afford it. Oh well.

Now to decide.

Do I go for the many many tull petticoats road or the more convienent (and all together cheaper) route of a hoop skirt (which are really easy to find on ebay I've discovered!) with two or three tull petticoats.
(You have no idea how much enjoyment I get from saying petticoat.
Petticoat. Petticoat.)

...


I'm having an off day. Can you tell?

Also - weather for Saturday looks like its going to be shite. BRILLIANT! *TWO THUMBS WAY WAY UP*

I know.

I don't take a break. (Unless I have little money for material, like at the moment. *needs to buy more interfacing and material for Xianghua cause she screwed up*)

Minami Line up will be either:

Feena; Sailor Jupiter; Final Fantasy Tactics Aerith or
Feena; Eternal Sailor Jupiter; Princess Ailish or
Feena; Eternal Sailor Jupiter; Final Fantasy Tactics Aerith or
Feena; Sailor Jupiter; Princess Ailish.

I haven't decided on the list yet, depends on time constraints. I'll have a while to get them all done.
In the mean time I'll have Xianghua to work on for May, and Rydia to work on for Ayacon. I'd like to get another Ragnarok Online outfit done - but I don't think its going to happen.
Oh! And Alchemist Rikku (though to be honest, Alchemist Rikku doesn't have a lot left to do. Wigs, boots, finish the armour, make the gun. Fix some of the strapping (boob straps are in the wrong place) and gloves. And sew on all the buckles. So... really a few jobs that would only take a few days really.)

There are a few things I come across at work that make my stomach go a bit iffy.

But I get used to them and just swan over them.

However, consistantly there is one condition... or rather its name that always makes me feel like I'm going to vomit.

See, in my line of work, miscarriages are called 'missed abortions'. You also have 'inevitable abortions' and 'spontaneous abortions'.
I just find that phrase really impersonal and... sickening.

I'm not against abortion, this is nothing to do with that. Its genuinely just the term "missed abortion" that makes me uncomfortable.
I think miscarriage is just a little more gentle I suppose.

This is a random entry, but I just wanted to get it off my chest. .____.

*has just discovered she has 22 days of holiday to book off before the end of March*

... Anyone want me to come visit sometime? .____.

I was not aware that I had so much holiday left. I'm a little thrown and at a loss of what to do with it all....

...
Wah.

CosSpot has been updated.
YAAAY. *muppet flail*

I WILL send out questionaire... questionairre.... questionaires out to people. I promise! I'll do it when I wake up today!



OH. I tried my Amano Aeris shoes witht eh dress today. OH MY GOD. They look really good together! I'm actually thinking of taking the hem up, just to show the shoes off more. *is lame like that*.
I do need to take the dress in around the bust though, and also make the waist higher. *sigh* More stuff to add to the list.

IS ANYONE ANY GOOD AT MAKING GRAPHICS?? T--T

I would also LOVE to get those little business cards printed out to hand out at Expo to people I take photos of, so they can find them on there (cause that's where they'll be).

...*shuffles* BED TIME.

I'm getting a pay rise over the next four months so I treated myself.

...

I bought shoes. >.>;;;

One pair is cosplay related! they're for Amano Aerith and I'm going to cover them after work today.
But yeah... the other pair are just for me... >.>;;;

*runs away*

*runs back* Someone remind me to give Jake a small kick up the backside for my questionaire! He was going to give it me last night but I was on the phone until 11:30 so didn't get it. x__x Must remember tonight!

People who applied for featured cosplayer on CosSpot, expect a short questionaire in your inbox in the next day.

*runs off again*

7am shifts are NOT MY FRIEND!

Roll on Friday so I can get home and sleep until Saturday afternoon!!

I finally reported Kelka on dA for harrassment. I knew the little bucket of crap would slip up, and boy did he.
Binding my time is fun!
Hopefully he'll get massively banhammered. WHAHAHA. NO HARRASSING ME.

I realised have have stuff to do for Expo. I have to iron all my costumes (that's the Rogue, Amano Aerith, Feena and Sailor Juptier). I still have some stuff to do on Feena. Like her hair band (she has a jeweled hair band at the end of her ponytail) and attaching snap fasteners to my new belt.
And I need to fix a couple of the gems on my Aeris bracelets as they're coming off...
But that won't take long.

Mrrr... Going to go home and sleep after worm today. Figured if I'm meeting people for coffee at 6:30 I can get home at twenty to four, crawl into bed, set my alarm for quarter to six, get up, throw some clothes on and run out the door.

I have stuff to do on CosSpot too. But I'll work on that over the weekend. I figured most of the cosplays I've done have been remakes of cosplays I'd already done. Seems a bit futile. But it makes the page look full at least. :D

.... I shouldn't EllJay when I'm sleepy. I babble a lot.

Lookit~!!

I present to you CosSpot!

I've been planning on this for ages! And settled down to do it today! I'm really pleased with myself for how much of it I've done today.

Its not amazing, mainly because my skills with graphics and layouts are limited.
But yeah... I'm happy! ^__^

Yays!

Ugh... now I have to go to bed because I have to be up at 5 in the morning for work at 7 all this week. *cries*

...

Who wants to be the first featured cosplayer on my new cosplay website?

This is something I've been planning on doing fo so long and only have the inspiration to do today!

I'd love to featured as many cosplayers as possible. Starting from the UK, and then hopefully branching out.

So let me know if you'd like to be featured.

Its not a bad thing. It'll just be some questions, like an interview, that I can send over to you by email. And all you would have to do would be to answer them, like you were actually speaking to me. And send over some photos of the cosplays you have that you consider your favourite/best.

:D Please help?

*purrs quietly*

I have Sera Myu music. This makes me happier than you could imagine.

Only problem is they're .ogg files, and tyou try to convert them to .mp3 files, they cut out half way. T-T
But I'll figure that out later. For now, I'm just going to enjoy.

Can someone, perhaps, point me in the direction of some Sera Myu (Sailor Moon Live Action) MP3s or CDs?

I've been watching a few videos on Youtube, and would really like the tracks on my iPod.

Thanks in advance.

I booked my ticket for Video Games Live?!

Its the 8pm showing! And I'm sitting in the balcony/Gods seats, D19 (haha! I gave myself an end seat so I have leg room. YAY!)

I'm probably going to wear my Rogue cosplay, cause its comfortable, despite the fact I will probably freeze. It'll get as recognised as Kingdom Hearts II Aerith, but to be honest, I love my Rogue out fit more. And I get to wear my Sohee Bells again. :D (I'll take them off for the actual concert!)

WHO ELSE IS GOING!?
