NDK Countdown: 2 days (including today)
*long complex stream of profanity*
I knew it! I knew something like this would happen. Here are two people, registered for the con for months.... months! And TWO DAYS before the con they go 'I have no money. I can't go.' So in one fell swoop our cast goes from complete to... not. That's a huge drop for a cast this size. And I have this overwhelming urge to rip into Carl and Kittie about this... and I'm trying to stay civil. To remind them that the registration is allready paid for, that if they can't go all weekend, they can go for a day... and I'm trying not to scream because they'd probably kick me out of the FLL.
In other news. Karen is done. Thanks to Kat's help with buttons last night, it's all shiny and finished. Hinoto is likewise finished except for wig styling and the sleeve detail.
I'm finishing Hokuto tonight, along with Arashi. Nataku still needs minor fastenings and the wires, but it's all good. My mom is buying fabric for Subaru-kun today.
Meaghan! Did you get Kakyou's obi/belt made, or should I BS something with the remains of the blue?
My Asian Civ test is on Monday. I'm simply thrilled. Atleast I don't care about anything that's showing during my shift so I have a few hours to study.
I also got my first costume commission last night! *dances* It'll be pretty simple, I think, Sailor Collar on a pre-existing blouse and a skirt with 1" pleats. I'll know how hard it'll be after I do Arashi today. Still, I get paid for this one. *happy*
Apparently while my father will NOT be at NDK... *dances*... Heckel-san will... *twitch* And McGee... but I really don't know exactly why every one hates him. Yes he's a bit trying at times and lacks eloquence in political of religious debate... but he's not really a bad person.... Yeah, anyway, whatever.
My brain has pretty much died, so I'm gonna stop now before it gets any worse, sorry this was such a long pointless rant... what were you expecting from my LJ anyway?

Bishonen: Kamui (because I get to use his fabric for this commision... ^_^)

Pre-Con Warning

A little explanation of how I act at cons, and what I try to get out of them. Because I feel that this might be a neccessary warning for some non-con-experienced people...

When I go to a con, I want to escape. I want to do what I want, when I want. Buy cool stuff, watch shows, go to panels, sing, dance. In all this, I am deeply and fully selfish.
That is not to say that I will ignore commitments, I will not. The X group, my Vid3 shift, I came to these myself.
What I do not want to do, and will not, is compromise my experience for others. I'm posting this because I dreamed about it last night, and I'm remembering one friendship that was nearly ruined because someone did not understand this.
If you are going to NDK just to hang out with me (which I hope no one is)... don't. I'll be here and there, in and out. I'll hang out with people, sure, but I'll also take time to enjoy the con on my own.
Particularly I advice not bothering me while I'm dancing. Just a note.
That's my advice. Probably very unclear and utterly random. Yep. Bed now.
