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

OKAY~!

So... Happy Demyx day~! I can't believe I didn't say it earlier. Maybe cause it makes me sound so geeky.
But I had a pretty good one, except for some crazy-face who showed up at my house. Called the cops, but it's all good now.

Went out to eat with my family, DELICIOUS steak and tex mex eggrolls. Then, while I was out, I got a text from ~illogicallylogical. She was like "yo bitches, we're going to see 9, so all you hos better be there or I'll mess you up, foo'!"... Except not really like that, she's too sweet. I'd laugh if she said it like that.

Anyway, that's when I remembered - OH DANG, IT'S DEMYX DAY! So what do I do? Go home and pull out the compression shirt and wig cap, it's time to dress up~! Putting on casual Demyx, I literally SPED to the theater to meet her and our other friends - grabbed our tickets and drinks and such. As we walked in, Kristen decided that we needed to sit in the 9th row. No choice, it was a MUST. So we did. Unfortunately, I didn't get the 9th seat, BUT sitting there, I was thinking...

I am seeing "9" at 9:00 on the 9th day of the 9th month of the 9th year in the 9th row AS number IX (9/Demyx). How much more appropriate is that? Too bad it was theater 5, not 9. That would be so much cooler.

Anyway, I absolutely loved the movie. 6 and the twin (3 and 4) were SO cute! And as we were watching the credits, ~illogicallylogical leans over to me. "We're so cosplaying this." I just can't decided between one of the twins or 9. 7 and 6 are already taken, but we want the whole crew. It would be cute! AND ITCHY!

But yeah, HAPPY DEMYX DAY~!

PS - Kiriban is 10,000k guys~! ALSO - if someone manages to catch 9,999 as well, message me! You might win a prize as well!

Hi guys~! So as I was sitting here, I realized I am approaching 10,000 views~! That is exciting for me!

SO. I decided to have a kiriban. Whoever catches my 10,000th view will get a prize of some sort. Don't know what yet. I'm thinking maybe a special picture of whatever character I've done already (I'd have to ask friends for pairings or more characters and what not), and maybe the guest password to my photobucket gallery to see all my secret yet-to-be-posted pictures AND costumes~! Maybe not, I'd have to see. I'd also take requests, as long as it is some what reasonable.

Just catch it, then we'll discuss a prize!

That's right, we're doing it. AND - Little Mermaid is our game!

Today, a dear friend of mine died.

He had a accident involving hairspray and a torch gun (we shan't go into details) while working on his Sydney Animania cosplay. He suffered third degree burns on his ears. He didn’t go to the hospital to have it checked out because he was rushing to finish it for next weekend. It got infected, his mum finally made him go to the hospital but it was too late the infection spread all through his body and they had to remove his ears. When he heard about it, he was sent into the depths of despair because he could no longer play characters with ears... Pretty much everyone.

Today at 3am he killed himself with a jigsaw.

RIP Chris, we'll miss you.

If anyone wants to come to his funeral note *Cattypatra. It’s on the Saturday of Animania Sydney. I will not be attending, because it is unfortunately too far, however I will be cosplaying in memory of Chris. Probably Demyx from Kingdom Hearts so I can dress his corpse up as a Nobody. They don't have ears!

RIP CHRIS, I hardly knew thee!
