1￫You must post these rules.

3￫You have to choose and tag 10 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4￫Go to their pages and tell them you tagged them.
5￫No tag backs.
6￫No crap in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you read this". You legitimately have to tag ten people.
1) Despite the fact that I love to make costumes, I don't really like sewing. (But I obviously do it a lot!)
2) I have a degree in computer programming, though I don't do much programming anymore.
3) I am still not quite sure what I want to do with my life! (Though I'd guess not many people are.)
4) Of all the fandoms I am a part of, Star Trek is my favorite.
5) I wish I had more patience and motivation for almost everything I do.
6) I hope to get better at making costumes and clothing in general so that maybe someday I'd be proud enough of my work for others to wear it.
7) I get into collecting things too much. Right now it's anime/manga/game artbooks and 60's dresses.
9) I love reading fashion magazines almost more than books. (But not quite!)
10) I did not get my drivers license (Or really learn how to drive) until I was 23. (Yup, last year.)
These all make me sound lame or semi-unhappy with my life, but neither of those things are true!
Tag: Despite the rules, (#11: I am a rule-breaker!) I will tag 10 people, but I am only going to leave a comment on the ones I think will actually do this. Because really, most of my friends on here probably wouldn't. >> (Which is fine, but I like to do these, so shh!)

Maybe not actually gone forever
I like to do this thing where I abandon websites for a decade, then come back, as I recently did with Tumblr. (So maybe there's hope of me actively using Facebook again in like six years?) I honestly don't do much that's worth posting here anymore, but I still do a couple cosplays a year, and knit and crochet a lot. That said, I got better at making costumes in the time I wasn't posting here, and have many I can add, so I will probably do that. It is certainly weird to look back at my convention posts here from so long ago. Conventions and cosplay were my life for quite a while, there was even a year I went to conventions in three different countries, and I actually got to live my dream I used to joke about, of being a booth babe for Koei Tecmo. I have so many wonderful memories, and I still love all of my convention friends, though in recent years I have slowed down a bit. (I suppose the pandemic did that to us all) Anything else I make any more tends to be nice enough sweaters and
PAX + Kumoricon + Cosplay + Sadness
I've been busy lately working on my costume and part of a friend's for PAX (Penny Arcade Expo), which is in a little over a week in Seattle. He's being Lu Xun, and I am being Sun Shang Xiang, both from Dynasty Warriors 7. This is kind of a dream costume for me, because I love Dynasty Warriors so much, even from before I was really into video games or conventions. Sun Shang Xiang became my favorite just because she was the only girl that started out unlocked in Dynasty Warriors 3. Kinda silly, but I still like her. (And somewhere along the line I started liking everyone in Wu too much, too.)
I have a good chunk of my costume done. I can't say

Some ideas and other things
Some ideas I've been having, mostly some related to dA:
-A South-Sound Cosplay deviantART group. (Southwest Washington State)
Ok, ok, there are so many cosplay groups on dA, and even a bunch for the Seattle area, but I'd love to have one for all of us who are (generally) around Olympia, who can't usually make it up to Seattle for Gasukans or other meetups, but maybe could if we did more stuff around here.
I kinda have a feeling there'd be virtually no interest for this, though, but maybe I should make one anyway, just to see? I could always delete it after a couple months.
I did search and didn't find anything already made, but I also co
