1:22 pm	Hey... wow... I'm posting here again. I'm still alive. Still working on cosplay, but not enough. Addicted to watching tv series (Friends atm). I graduated and I'll start working next week. I've started wearing lenses... I kinda feel like I'm loosing touch with almost all my friends, which is my fault. I'm still single and I don't 'hate' it... but a girlfriend would always be nice I guess xD right? and I definitely scored boy on the boy/girl meme btw ^^. I had a lot of boy and like 3 girl ofzo xD. But that's no suprise... I really am a boy after all (with all the stupid behaviour included -_-) (4 Comments |Comment on this)

9:27 am	LondonExpo was a blast! ^____^ A lot of awesome cosplayers. The convention itself... was not that cool... they didn't have anything nice to buy. But we (Lies and me as Fran and Balthier) got our pictures takes like every 10 seconds when we were inside. Though almost all attention was because of Lies's Fran of course. But ah well... I stood there as well... keeping her armour from falling off enzo xD. And I never knew making photo's at a convention was that much fun! (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:58 am	Cosplay Update: I'm such a loser. I haven't been working on cosplay for a long time now. Every day I say to myself... today I will work on cosplay. And I end up watching random series on my computer all day long. I'm so lazy, this sucks man. Marlies and Tim are going as Bleach characters to London... and puu that makes me want to cosplay as a bleach character too. But I don't really have good wigs I can use... I don't think my Calintz wig can be turned into a Hitsugaya... it's too long on the back enzo I guess... Maybe I could do Soi Fong with her captains outfit and borrow Lies's wig... But then I'd have to make her outfit real fast. And I'd like too... but I am not good at making cosplay fast... and I guess I should stick with the cosplay I am working on and have planned at this moment. Because I want to finish them on time this time! And they should be awesome. I want to get faster at making cosplays though xD And I could... if I would just work on them instead of lazy-ing around my room. I have so many cosplays I wanna do... but how am I gonna do them all if I don't finish my current ones... And the main thing... even if I would like to do a fast cosplay... I never have a good wig... and it would need to be styled and I'm not good at that... and shoes, I never have right shoes for them. This sucks man... I guess I should just get wigs as soon as I can when the idea poppes in my head to cosplay someone ofzo. Marlies... how do you do it? xD (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:34 am	Hmm... not much happend last week. Lies came over and we had a really good time watching Soul Eater. Honestly... It's really funny and you check it out if you like action comedy anime! Too bad the costumes are not super awesome... but the characters are really cool! Marlies and me are thinking about cosplaying Maka and Soul... or maybe I'm going as Black Star... But I think Soul is the coolest... I would go as Tsubaki... but hmm... she has thigh splits and that's too much for me to crossplay xD. And Patty and Liz are soo lol. And Shinigami-sama is uber lol! And I started watching That 70's show... and I'm really addicted! It's fun ^^. But I really should catch up on supernatural... because otherwise I get too far behind on Marlies and we can't talk about it anymore >_<. And whee ;_;... I had too return the heatgun I borrowed... I wasn't really working much with anymore lately. But I still need it for the secret cosplay. But ah well... I think I'm gonna buy my own when I need it again. I should start working on Neku too xD. And later during the weekend. San and Tichon came by just to hang out. And that was pretty nice. We made a random walk around our neighbourhood since the weather was so nice ^_^. And we watched some movies. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:59 pm	Animecon was leuk ^_^ Veel mensen gezien enzo! En echt super vette cosplays gezien... nu wil ik ook weer echt aan cosplay beginnen en mijn kostuums afmaken xD. Redelijk wat figures gekocht... but ah well... they were cool! And I work now and actually make some money so I thought... what the heck... if I don't get them now... I never will! So I bought some stuff xD Wat ik leuk vond, was dat er op vrijdag een Shippuuden Hinata naar mij toe kwam enzo en mij cool vond. En later zaten we allebei op de trap buiten met capuchons op emo Hinata bitches te zijn ^_^. Hey... I was talking with a total stranger and she was kinda cute and she hugged me xD It was a big moment for me, okay?! xD I'm also amazed some other people from outside our group (mostyle cosplayers though) like... kinda know me I guess ^_^. At least it seems they recognise me. So yay! And I think my puppy level was not as high as it used to be. So that's good. And sleeping in the bungalow was muuuch better than alone in a tent. It's much more fun and relaxed. And having a car was also really handy! Did some mad driving and parking but ah well, that makes it fun! xD I hope I can find some pictures of my Hinata cosplay. Did any of you take pictures of it? I was at some mini naruto photoshoot... but I don't think anyone took pictures of just me. And I'd like to see pictures of our RG Veda group ^_^ Because my Yasha costume is totally lame and boring when alone. But in a group it's better ^^. (and I don't have any pictures of him yet, as of my Hinata). And Marlies! thank you for lending me your Kunai pouches and wig and stuffz! Anyway, it was lol and fun... and now I am going to sleep! My room is big mess, still from friday. but ah well... I'll clean it tomorrow! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:22 pm	Went to the EFF yesterday. It was nice. The weather was good, saw lots of cool costumes. I even learned a bit of cosplay construction tips xD. It was nice to see some people again too ^^. I didn't really buy anything special. Just legal drug 3 and some boosters. We were actually looking for some black wings for Tichon's Kujaku... but we couldn't find them! But it's been taken care of anyway, so that's okay. And I haven't done anything for cosplay for a while now. In the back of my head... I feel guilty. But in general... I don't care. I gave up on finishing 'secret' cosplay. I'll just make it for abunai. I'm gonna worry about cosplay after acon again. And now I have time to play with my new laptop ^_^. I really like it. I can finally play some newer games. I'm also planning to spend more time with Willem playing rainbow 6 vegas 2 and UT3 and stuff. So simply... good old gamin' time FTW! (8 Comments |Comment on this)

11:28 pm	Cosplay update: Okay... I am not gonna be able to finish my 'secret' cosplay before animecon. I am still gonna make it though. I guess I'm gonna try to make for abunai ofzo. It's just too much work. And too difficult to do fast. And I don't want to rush this one. I'm already unhappy with some parts of the costume, that could've been done better I believe. All this is new to me too, so that's not helping. And there some other stuff I don't have answers for yet too. And I was spending so much time trying to make this cosplay... I almost never saw my friends anymore. So I took a break from cosplay to spend more time with them too. I haven't done anything cosplay related this whole weekend (except just now, experimenting with some paint stuff). I just watched some episodes prison break today and god did I miss it. And today Mart and me made a merfolk EDH deck ^_^. Anyway... sorry to the people who wanted to see my cosplay. You'll just have to wait some more. But I can't imagine how I am going to do everything that's left to be done in just a few weeks. But I guess I'll still have one new costume that I haven't worn to a con yet. Shino. I had it with me last abunai, but I didn't wear it because I forgot some stuff -_-. But I've improved it a little. For now, my cosplays on animecon will be: - Yasha - Shino - Balthier or Miko And I still don't have a clue when I'll be wearing what. Except that I'm gonna wear Yasha when Lidy, Tim and Tichon are their rg veda cosplays. But I don't want to wear Shino on Sunday. Maybe we can wear rg veda on saturday so we can be on photoshoot ofzo? I also don't know if I am gonna wear Shino an entire day. Ah well... I'll see how stuff turns out and when the 'secret' cosplay is going to be finished. (and I put in between ''s because I don't really consider it a secret anymore. Almost everybody I know, knows it already. Plus I never really cared about it anyway) Dunno why I actually bothered to type this post... I could've just told Marlies directly about it... I guess. Since nobody who cares other than her read this xD. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:41 pm	Since some others are also talking about it. I'll say my thing too. I too have thought about quitting LJ (but not recently). Still reading and commenting on others, but not more posting of my own. I mostly post about cosplay. Because I thought the people that care about the rest of my life should just ask me about it. (be that on msn, sms, phone or in real life). I also did this to stop my lj from becoming another sad emo whining place for myself (the reason I made this new LJ). But I guess I could keep people more up to date on my life. So I decided I'll simply post some stuff once a week. And I'll be checking the friends page once a day, probably in the evening. I'm not quitting, just cutting down. On to another subject... I know I am not perfect. I act like a puppy, am immature sometimes and can be as blunt as brick. I tend to avoid all kinds of trouble and speak about 20% of my thoughts actually out loud. And sometimes I'm really simple minded, lazy and slow. I hate it when people tell me how to make my cosplay, while I figured out my own way of doing it (unless you are an expert uber epic level cosplayer, but nobody I know is that xD). When people start yelling at me and insulting me, I have the tendency to just screw them and ignore them and turn the other way. (And this list is not complete...) And I can imagine I'm called a puppy... sometimes I do follow people around literally. Well... yeah... I probably just like being with them, so I stay with them. And it's easy, because I don't have to think what to do and where to go xD. Does that mean I should be more independent? I should also tell people more clearly when I don't like stuff... instead of just keeping silent and accept it, ignore it and make the distance between me and that person bigger and bigger. Anyway... if you think... "Yeah you are right! You are frigging annoying when you do that". Or "I hate it when you...". Post it, please. What you think, why you think it, what I should doinstead according to you. stuff like that. Don't worry, it takes alot to get me mad at ya. If you say something like "You are a sexist perv!", that's okay. It's mostly true xD. If you have stuff I am doing wrong in my life, that's okay too. Like... I'm choosing cosplay over my friend and I'm getting really obsessed about it and stuff. That's okay too, because I'm starting to feel that way. That would help me a great deal I think. Not that many people are gonna comment, people never do on these kinds of post. It's really diffcult. (I think it is). But I can try right? See, a post not about cosplay. It is possible people! But to put in a little about my cosplay for the ones that care... and I guess most people already know... I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to finish my secret cosplay for animecon. Marlies probably isn't too and we don't have an act anymore. And the trip to London has been changed. Me and Marlies are going for only 1 day now. I have no clue what the others that were going with us are planning on. I never speak them. (6 Comments |Comment on this)

8:55 pm	My figurine collection now stocks a smashing new Belldandy and an awesome Aerith! ^________________________^. I love the Belldandy Tichon, Sandrine and Lisette gave me for my birthday (it was a late present xD). And I didn't have an Aerith yet and I really wanted one. And now that I look at them... I really want to cosplay them! But but... I don't it's possible for me. And some people will probably kill me if I try :P. Belldandy is super feminine and a super hot babe... so is Aerith... main problem... both have naked arms and legs. (okay, Aerith has a long skirt... but still not long enough to completely cover her legs). Belldandy has too little coverage on the top of her torso and back, but with some small changes, that can be fixed I think. And the arms... dunno if I can do that. My arms are hairy and I'm not sure if it'll look good if I simply shave my arms (I read that will look weird if you have no hair at all on your arms). But... what is also a main problem... their hair! It's totally awesome, both have lots of it... and full of bangs/antennea xD. I need to get some serious wig skillz for them ^_^. Hmm... maybe I should first cosplay With Hunter Robin... She is awesome too and much easier and build up from there ^_^. Then again... I don't have any open cosplay slots for abunai... so it'll have to wait I guess xD. And my KH Cloud plans have somehow dissappeared from the map... they're still there... but I don't have time to make it and no event to cosplay him yet xD. Ah well... Just random crossplay/cosplay talk. It's been a while... And I'm looking forward to doing RG Veda on animecon ^_^ Maybe people will recognize who we are if we are with a group lol!

10:28 am	I was thinking yesterday... about the future of my cosplays. I am planning to keep doing it and keep learning of course. There are still many aspects of cosplay I would like to master. I am thinking about taking sewing courses. But sometime... a time will come I won't be able to cosplay super good myself anymore... like...I'll get old. Keep in mind this is not anywhere in the near future xD. But I was thinking... if the time comes... would I keep making cosplays as commisions for others? I am not even sure that time will really come. I've also had the idea to make something like a cosplay group... but I don't think I'll ever do that xD I could never pull it off. It would require a lot of time and working togethers with other cosplayers pretty close. But they could all help eachother because everyone has his/her specialism. And they could do awesome group cosplays. But I think I can never make something like that work :P And I guess my problem is... I want to be good at everything! I have a hard time trusting others to do things for me... (when it comes to cosplay that is). That's why I usually want to do everything myself. So if I'm not taking your help... and I know I have turned people down... I'm sorry. Not sure what I was trying to say... but ah well... it's just another cosplay rant. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:33 pm	Hmm... by chance I was reading about Mahou Da on the aniway forum... and holy crap... O_O. There was a big fight going on and stuff about cosplay. Someone was saying that the cosplay level (I think even about Holland in general) was low. And well... I'm not saying that it is super high... a lot of cosplays I think are just ok, but not top of the line. Anyway... she said it in such a way ALOT of people got angry xD (including Marlies volgens mij, but she deleted her post so I'm not sure). I didn't really see it as an insult. I know my Calintz is far from perfect! The shirt could be more figure-hugging and the zipper isn't put on straigth, the wig is not that good, the feathers are suppossed to be longer. But I think the rest is not that bad. (and yeah duh... the most of the cosplays there were not WCS level I guess... so you can't really compare. At least I meant to enter a cosplay with a higher level than Calintz for the WCS xD) But really... she can yell all she wants about how low the cosplay level is in Holland... But I think she is underestimating how difficult cosplay can be sometimes. And sure... taking more time for your cosplays to perfect every little detail would be better... but that is not something everybody can do! Like... people have school, jobs... other things in life beside cosplay that need time too. And all the cosplays from the fashion show at abunai 2007... I think some of them were WCS level worthy. Both Fran cosplays... the golden one that won and stuff. Their level was definitely NOT low in my opinion! I didn't really see her cosplay up close so I can't give any comments on it. Ah well... I don't consider myself one of the best cosplayers around in Holland. I simply try. Sure, I don't like seeing costumes badly finished and stuff like that. But cosplay is about fun and looking like characters you like... it's not a war to be the best costumer! xD Of course, some people make an obesession of cosplay and want to make beautifull cosplays. But that is not the main idea people have when cosplaying xD. That it happens to be my thing is another thing ^^. I like making cosplays. And I want to make them... correct. both technical correct and getting the correct image across you're aiming for. I just aim to make cosplays... and get getter at making them. If other can get to think... "wow, see that cosplay? that one is nice!" That's just an extra for the rest of the world I guess xD (and I like it too of course when people think I look cool and stuff) And btw... the best cosplay on who mahou da... was the oblivion from this Thijs guy. That was really the best keyblade I have seen! ^_^. And that Misa didn't win because of her costume... but because she did some popular song and stuff that the audience liked. And because of that I think the judges had like... wow she got the whole crowd crazy... she wins. The other cosplayers didn't get the crowd crazy... Because they were silenced by the awesomeness of the other cosplays! I mean... that Sasuke (not the anbu one) was REALLY GOOD. It was simple... but everything was right. His/hair (not sure what it was) was perfect! Anyway... I posted a rant about cosplay again! *shock* Cosplay status... working on secret cosplay... all other cosplay activities halted until this one is finished! (6 Comments |Comment on this)

4:29 pm	You are the World Completion, Good Reward. The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion. The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right. What Tarot Card are You? Take the Test to Find Out. Okaaay.... not really accurate I think... Ah well... it's only a random internet test anyway. (Comment on this)

11:49 am	Been to Tichon's place yesterday. It was fun. I wore my Shino outfit, which noone had actually really seen before. I worked on it a little, made the boobs bigger and made hip padding. Although the padding wasn't really noticeable... the boobs were. It funny if you own 2 or 3 girls in cupsize as a boy! Thank you Lidy for the make-up ^__^. Hopefully I'll get the photo's from Marcel and Drazen soon, thank you for taking them! It was also cool to see some people again. I had a nice talk with Sandrine and stuff. The food was nice. And some other people were there I don't really know... only... half-know... zeg maar. Anyway. They were cool too ^_^. And everybody (except Mart and possible that Derek guy, they were just freaked out, haha) and that makes me happy! Oh... and I hate my teeth... they are weak or something... and I don't like dentists! (actually I don't like what they do to my teeth :P). I try to take care of them enzo but there is always something. But I'm gonna try harder... this year it's still free because I'm 21. Next year... dentist bill will be the death of me I think! -_- (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:56 pm	Uit mijn vorige post heb ik begrepen dat Tichon en Lidy volgens mij wel geïnteresserd zijn om naar Mahou Da! te gaan. De deadline van de kaartverkoop is 17-02-2008, heel binnenkort dus. Als jullie dus willen gaan. Graag snel kaartje kopen :P En jullie kunnen allebei bij mij overnachten enzo. Zaterdag middag kun je ergens aankomen enzo, dat spreken we later wel af als jullie komen. En ik ga er heen als Calintz zoals het nu staat... ik heb me ook maar ingeschreven voor de fashion show... who knows... at a con that small... I might have a chance of winning xD And I'm still proud of my Calintz. Because of the pain and effort I put into the feathers and the whole costume it deserves to be worn more than once :P Cosplay status: Stopped fussing about every detail... I'm never gonna get it all that perfect, symmetrical and smooth as I would like it to be. So now I'm just working all the big flaws out one by one whilst keeping the main shape. As long as the end results looks okay. With emphasis on LOOKS :P. If it looks good... it's okay. The gesso and paint will cover up of things I hope. And heck, like people are gonna check every thing with a laser-measuring-tool ofzo. Cosplay is also about your costume giving the right look/feel/vibe... and not all about getting everything right on the millimetre. People with comments like... "ooh, you suck! That part should have been 1 cm higher!" ... I dunno... I could hit them, but knowing me I'll laugh and ignore. They should try to do it theirselves. This is my first time working with wonderflex and my first time making a costume like this... ah well... doesn't change the fact I want everything to be perfect. But I want it finished too xD. If I keep fooling around with one part I'll never get to the others. Like my wig... I still need to get one for it -_-. HA! I talked about my cosplay without hopefully spoiling stuff about what I am making :P Or all you guys, except Marlies, will just have no idea what I'm talking about xD. Oh... I actually not planning on Cloud anymore for animecon. Simply because I feel like I'll need all my time for the secret cosplay. And since secret has the top priority, it pushes Cloud of the list. I will do him some other time. But I still want to do him. (10 Comments |Comment on this)

1:48 am	Still loving wonderflex! But it's kinda... different and difficult. Shaping large pieces at once, you need a good shape / mold-thingie you can 'drape' it over to get it smooth. So it's a whole new ball game... finding random object that can serve as 'molds' is bla... but it's lol to improvise. (like in supernatural: what are you going to do? "we'll improvise, that's what we do best!" -Dean.) That qoute is probably waaay off. But it could as well be a cosplayer saying it. Improvising is what makes cosplay really fun sometimes! ^_^. Anyway... I'm gonna spend a lot of time on cosplay from now on. My internship is starting too so that'll cost much time and I want to make this costume good. And I mean really really good. So sorry if I am neglecting other things like having a social life enzo -_-. But I really like this, so I am doing it. Maar goed! I'll be spending the night and probably the most of sunday on my room with a blowdryer and heaps of wonderflex. By the end of the weekend I'll have heat resistance + 1 on my hands! Oh and what really really really sucks! I lost like two of my changeling d10's! Probably at the magic prerelease... dammit. They were a present and I liked them very much ;_;. And btw, if you don't have the Shippuuden OST yet, go get it. It's awesome! wow, I posted about something else than cosplay! And oh yeah. Marlies and I are cosplay partners now... I guess we already were, but ah well :P And it basically means... well... that we cosplay together sometimes / reguarly ofzo. I dunno... just felt like saying it. You probably don't care, but it's important to me. And blaa... I've watched all supernatural that is out >_< and no new scrubs is airing... I hope supernatural will continue to air. Stupid writer's strike in America -_-. And I you haven't gotten the hint yet, Yes, I'm really obsessed with supernatural. Go watch it, it's cool! Other than that... I downloaded Samurai Deeper Kyo... I read it's like Kenshin. So I watched the first two eps. I think it could become really cool so I am gonna watch some more ^^. Oh, and after having my paperround for... I dunno... at least six to seven years every week, I quit it. lol (5 Comments |Comment on this)

1:12 am	As you may or may not have noticed... I'm not really commenting much on LJ and stuff... not as much as online on msn. Simply, because I was busy with finishing up school blaat. And now I started working on cosplay. And frankly, I like it. I'm really happy I finally moved myself to start making the costume! And I want keep this rythem. I'll begin with 'afstuderen' in Februari so that'll costs lots of time. Anyway... should you really need me... (for some mysterious reason?) and I'm not online. Call me, mail me, or message me offline on msn (big chance I'm on 'offline weergeven') :P). I feel a bit anti-social after saying this... but ah well... cosplay is important too... to me anyway. And I could've dissapeared for a long time and suddenly emerge with a finished cosplay ofzo :P (hmm) And I had a day of shopping in Rotterdam with Marlies today. It was nice! Bought lots of materials and a cool wig for Cloud. And GESSO, I have Gesso... I feel such a 'pro-cosplayer' now. Everybody on cosplay.com who talks about wonderflex mentions gesso :P. And now I have it too... I feel such a cosplay-geek right now xD. But I guess I am one. If you don't know what gesso is... it's... stuff.... some kind of thick paint that you can put on the wonderflex. And when it's dry you can sand it, so you can make it a really smooth surface to get rid of the structure of the wonderflex. And it also acts as a primer for alot of paints. Anyway, it's supposed to be really awesome. So are gluegun btw... but I didn't really find them that awesome... maybe I was using it for the wrong things. But ah well... it does glue some things really hard together :P And I can see how hot glue gun molding can be usefull. I accidently did that a little. Anyway... I am happy! And my last aikido lesson went really well, that made me really happy too. It's weird how one training can make you feel good when everything goes rights. Sleep now! Tomorrow... work and cosplay! (and some food too) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:58 pm	I FUCKING HATE DAZIAN.com!!!!!!!!!! It's the site where I ordered the wonderflex... they charged 240 dollar shipping... and 74 euro for customs... UPS = SUPER EXPENSIVE! So this totally sucks! I guess I can say goodbye to the money I was saving for London and stuff ;_; (5 Comments |Comment on this)
