Cosplay Ramblings
For the first time, I can honestly say that there's nothing I really really want to do cosplay-wise. I have a list (see below) of things that would be cool to do, but nothing really grabs at me and says, "Spend all your money and time on me or else! RAAAAR!!"

I wonder if this is the beginning of the end?

I think it's pretty amazing I went this far, to tell the truth. I never anticipated meeting and befriending as many awesome people I have through this hobby (to say nothing of The Crazies, but there's The Crazies everywhere), and I never anticipated that it would allow me to participate in some really random, really crazy, but most of all really awesome experiences. And while I don't foresee myself dropping out of the "scene" entirely (there are too many of you who I need to keep tabs on, if for just "OMG, you made that?!" reactions alone), I don't know if I'll be participating as heavily as I was.

At first I thought it was just the inevitable burn-out. Everyone gets tired of things eventually, especially if you've participated in something pedal-to-the-metal for an extended period of time. But, even after the period of R&R, there's nothing out there that's really lighting a fire on my ass to want to create. I won't be attending any cons till after July for personal reasons, so that's probably putting a damper on any plans as well.

Anyway, obviously the next logical step would be to officially name my "retirement," have all of you plead and cajole me into staying in it so I can haughtily say that I'm "above all the drama, bullshit, waste of money & time" and leaving the hobby at "my prime."

...

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nah, but for reals, I really don't know where to go from here.

And while this isn't a life-altering decision, it does effect a rather sizable part of my life. Outside of music-related stuff, cosplay is my biggest hobby/time-suck. Anyway... don't mind me, I'm just brain dumping. :)

Now for the required "Costumes I Wanna Do" List (in no particular order):

	Jessica - Dragon Quest VIII Okay, I just want an excuse to wear a corset that'll give me amazing cleavage. Shut up. :D
	Paine - Kingdom Hearts 2 She gets wings! Seriously, how cute is that shit?
	Paine (White Mage) - Final Fantasy X-2 Would entirely depend if my girls were up for doing another group with me.
	Rabi - D.Gray-Man I dig the waist purse action.
	AYA (Doppelganger) - Psycho le Cému That's AYA on the left.... because the world truly needs more scary clown things. Really.
	Miranda - D.Gray-Man Hotness. Whether it would look hot on me is up for debate. I'm not trying to get myself compared to the hotness of Miss wagashi!

Then of course there are the ideas that have been thrown around by my friends... Hard Gay & the HGettes (I would pronounce that "hegettes," and yes I just made that up), Gilgamesh tent action, Katamari Damacy, etc.

Of course, after I said all that I will tell you that there are two definites. I asked my parents to get a couple things made for me in the Philippines (Yo, did I tell y'all I dislike sewing? Well, now ya know! No shame in my game!) and they should be coming out to me soon:

	Nana Osaki - NANA Did I just ask some folks in the Motherland to bootleg me a Vivienne Westwood jacket? Yes, yes I did. I'm not a very good Nana, but fuck it... it's one thing I can live with.
	Yuu - Karma Shenjing OMG l33t fandom points. Har har har. Photo yoinked from ziggybecket.

And that's all I have to say about that. (Which was way more than I anticipated I was going to say.)
