Zenkaikon
Okay guys, so Zenkaikon is in a few days, and I couldn't be more excited! After going through hell and back with this convention last year (I ended up having to leave early), I am determined to make this an absolutely amazing good time!

Once again, I will be rooming with my beloved friends, , , and . We had such a blast at Anime Boston, of course we have to do so again. My friend from school will be with us too, so she'll keep us in check. And ~Thirteen13XIII will be driving me and my pal up, so we can chill a bit too! But I am so terribly excited. I was hoping to have my new cosplay done in time, but I haven't even started, so it looks like it will just be Demyx this time~! Perhaps I shall bring Olette or Maria, though both need repairs so we shall see.

Demyx, however, is a certain, so if any of you are going, make sure to take a glance at my Demyx photos so you can say hi. I love to meet people from DA, so if you see me, just come right up and introduce yourself! I'm really friendly, most of the time, and it will save me from Xig and Larx for a bit!

Kiriban

My 10,000th view Kiriban is fast approaching, and for this I've decided to do something a little extra. In addition to a personalized, and requested photo/photoshoot, I've also decided that the winner will get a physical prize from me. Last christmas, I made my entire group Organization XIII blankets, with their number and a part of their weapons stitched onto the corner. Whoever nabs my 10,000th view will get a blanket of their choice of character. If you don't want an Org. XIII blanket and matching pillow, just let me know and I will try to make something more fitting of your tastes. I've also decided that if someone grabs 9,999 they will get their choice of either a pillow or blanket in their choice of character as well. I am really excited for this, so help me get my page views, guys!

Also, Morijana, Thru-Apeture and I were diggin' through the most popular deviations under the names of Org members. They are both on the front page, and I was joking around saying - Mine are pretty far back. So we kept digging, wanting to know what page I would eventually show up on. Mine never did, even though I had more favs and views than some of the people did on there. After 50 pages, I gave up. I know it's shallow to want to be popular like that, but why didn't I show up at all, other than in one or two of other people's photos? Is there something wrong with my submissions that won't let it show up in search? If anyone knows the answer, please let me know!

MORE

So after much careful thought and deliberation (I'm not using that word correctly, I think), I have decided that it is time for me to make my own sitar. For many months I have put it off, after seeing the absolute beauty that is ~ArcadiaEclipse's sitar. I didn't want to end up making a terrible prop, and the sitar is so tricky that there are very few decent ones out there. However, as my friends tote around all their weapons, I feel somewhat incomplete without one. So if there are any really awesome woodworkers out there who want to help me on this project, please let me know. The majority of it will be foam with a thin plywood or luan frame, but I want the details like the bridge in wood. I could use some help, guys!

Also, turns out I will be doing a mini photoshoot as Demyx at Zenkaikon. I severely lack good pictures. I bring this up for two reasons. 1. While my roommates and I will be taking photos ourselves, if anyone wants to volunteer, who are we to deny? And B. (yes, that was intentional), I am taking requests~! What do you guys want to see? Any poses you want me to do, any scenes you want me to try to recreate? Xig, Larx and I have surprises planned for all you watchers of us, but let me know if there is anything you want me to do for you guys! I am at your request! Any poses with Xigbar, Larxene, or Axel will need to be approved with the other party(ies) involved, but I will do my best!

I am off to play submarine in my tub now with Aquaman and Nemo, so I've gotta go before the water gets cold, but I'll be looking forward to your replies, guys~!

With all the love possessed by one without a heart,

Pidge
