--LIFE--
I am looking forward to celebrating the end and start of a new year at the end of the month. I hope to gather all my friends and party like we've never done before... praying my boyfriend will be able to join us since I know he always seems to dive into a rather nasty sort of depression this time of the year. I have high hopes for myself that I will be able to save him for that, and show him how wonderful this time of year really is when you share it with family and loving friends.

Lucky me has a meeting with a Job Corps rep this week. We shall be going over the application process and possible chance I could be placed within the system. Now for most of those who don't know what the Job Corps is I'll fill you in on a little. Job Corps is funded by the states. It gives young people a chance to have a better future for themselves, like achieving a high school diploma, and taking courses in a career. Room and board is paid for and you receive a weekly living allowance. All in all it sounds rather nice. So I am looking forward to my meeting.

*NEW* I made it into the Job Corps!! I'll be leaving in a couple of months. Sadly I wont know my actual departure date until two weeks before I leave. Lame, but I'm alright with that. But now I do not know if it will mess up Sakura Con plans. Only time will tell now T.T But the place where I will be going looks like Timberlake Job Corps Center in Estacada, OR.

--COSPLAY--
Well, my Aerith pattern is all cut out. Just needs to be stitched together, then all the fine tuning can begin! My poor fingers will hate my by the time I'm finished T.T

The group finally had a meeting. Went over hotel details and group cosplays. And this is what we have, Cardcaptors, Air Gear, and CLAMP. Thank heaven's my cardcaptor cosplay has been done since july. And Air Gear doesn't look all that hard. [I've chosen to cosplay Ringo, but not sure what outfit yet XD] And I have no idea what to do for CLAMP T.T [any ideas are greatly welcomed]

As for what I will be doing myself the list never stops growing and I fear there isn't enough time in the day nor money in my pocket to get them all done. I am at least aiming to have two ANBU black ops cosplays finished before the new year. Shouldn't be all that hard, and making the masks look SUPER easy. One of the out fit and mask is my boyfriends christmas present. And silly me is going to ask the family for the Lavi cosplay and wig that I REALLY would love to own. So my fingers a crossed on that one.

Wow .. it pretty much has been over a month since I've last posted a journal ... nice.

I really wish I could say that I've gotten so much done within the last month, but that would be a lie. I feel like nothing has gotten done and it wont get done. I keep picking up hour after hour at work and not giving myself time to work on my list of cosplays I have been wanting to get done for for the new year .... which is a little over a month away. Yay for waiting until the very last minute T.T

--COSPLAY NEWS--
*But, hey, I at least have one out of the many readyish for Sakura Con. Karin for Shippuuden. It is super fun to wear and super comfortable. Still needs a few minor improvements here and there, but I am not to worry about that.

*Aerith ... I've gotten pretty much no where with this cosplay. Pattern pieces are cut. That's about it. Hopefully I can have it done by the end of the moth so I can work on some others. Not to mention I need to find time to get a wig ..

*I've planed a secret cosplay .... well not so much of a secret. A few friends already know what it is. But I am gonna try and have it finished before Decembers gasukan [even if it KILLS me!!]

*I need to either find a leather jacket I can magically turn into Squalls jacket from FF8 or cave and buy/commission one. Not to mention I have to make a New Sasuke cosplay on top of that for boyfriend so he has something to wear to Sakura Con .... FFFFFFFFFF >.<

*I've decided to ask for Lavi's third uniform and wig for christmas. I figure if I only ask for that for christmas then I will pretty much receive it. ..... But I don't know. My family still doesn't understand the cosplay world and what they know of it they really don't like it .. [mainly because I think my mom googled it and it came up with dirty cosplay pictures if you know what I mean...]

Wow ... this journal is long. I'll give brownie points to anyone who reads it all the way through.

In the ways of cosplays, I have a new addition as on the first of this month. Karin. Its pretty much amazing. It needs a little altering, but other then that if fits like a dream. I am thinking about wearing it to Gasukan this month, then switching into Halloween Town Sora ... But it all depends on when I come back up from Hood River.

[Still featuring... any takers?]

is coming with. It is gonna be her birthday gift. I'm excited .. and it looks like we might even have a place to stay .. I am just hoping that I will be able to get the time off of work for it since I am asking for some days off in October pretty much a week and a half before Aki-Con T.T

-->Cosplay Plans for Aki-con
*Kero
*Possible chance of Naruko
*Halloween Town Kairi/Sora
*Aerith [if I some how gained magical powers and a wig]
*Kairn

We will see if the cosplay gods will be smiling down upon thee [maybe I should make an offering.... o.O ]

--UPDATE--
Squeeee!! I bought pretty much everything needed to make Aerith's Crisis Core dress. All that is lacking is shoes, flower things, and a wig. [And the fact I don't own a sewing machine. Thank god for my best friend]

Also.. Me and

found the perfect pattern for our Queens. And of will this probably be my first totally epic cosplay. These wont be ready probably until the night before Sakura Con '10 ... I have a strange feeling... >< Our nameless group is planing on a rather epic Alice in Wonderland cosplay. So look out for a update on those once we have fabric and some time to actually work on them.

I should be getting Karin soonish ... I am just wanting for the person I am getting it from to get back to me with her paypal.

And lastly, I have Lavi's Hammer of Awesome all sketched out and I'm realy to start buying materials once I have the money to do so. This thing is going to be amazing.

Who wants it?

I just finished watching the D. Gray-man series just moments ago and oh WOW was it amazing and beyond what I thought was going to happen. The last episode is totally a cliff hanger. And makes me wonder if it ends like that in the mange ... probably not.

Just need to work on collecting the manga volumes again ... I only have one and two ... my dog ruined volume three T.T

-Cosplay News-
Well, next week I shall be finally starting on my long awaited for Aerith dress from Crisis Core. I'm super freaking excited to be making it. But its all of the rather fine detail work that is gonna make me cry since I've decided to sew all of that stuff on by hand. I want to have it finished by mid-November [basically before November's Gasukan]

Next wed I will finally be sending the money out so I can have an awesome Karin cosplay. I am looking forward to her like no other. She has become my new favorite lady of the shippuuden world. >< [Sakura is still number one though, but all cosplay's regarding her have been placed on hold till I can find a new wig]

After Aerith is finished I will need to start on the White Queen cosplay for expo [if I can go... I'm a little iffy at taking so much time off from work plus if things work out with some friends in the spring I honestly do no think I will have the money] I'm not to positive on how that is gonna work since my friend has it sketched out..

And the last cosplay I would LOVE to have by then end of this year is my dearest Lavi. For him I will probably cop out and order something from online [I don't really want to work with leather and I will need some time to work on his Hammer of Awesome! Score for HUGE props.] Will probably start buying what I need to make a huge hammer so I can work on that in between sewing and work.

Wow ... that is a lot. Actually not really ... If I keep to it. Spend wisely and not go over I can honestly see myself having all of it done by the end of this year ... Also if anyone has any good tips on making Lavi's hammer, I would love to hear them.

If you have not seen Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, go watch it... NOW.
ha ha ha...

"I'll tell you two things: First, any human on the surface will be completely annihilated by our Human Eradication Army. Second, that is my dinner - give it back!"

Kamina is pretty much my new hero.
I think I am Simon-fangirl ><
Nia is the cutest thing in the WOLRD and I must cosplay her!!
If I had the body [and the confidence] you bet I would cosplay Yoko.

"Listen up, Simon. Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in me, who believes in you!"

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER!

I've heard that there is a TTGL movie out there, well actually that there a TWO out there. Must find them.

And low and behold it was the manger of Joann's telling me that I have orientation on Tuesday!! -squee- I am so excited that I have a job again. Plus what better place for a cosplayer to work at ..... a fabric store. Now my parents can stop harping on me [even though I have been jobless for a monthish]. Also I am thinking about going down to a Job Corps orientation on Tuesday right after my orientation at Joann's. I am doing all that I can to get out of my house, out of debt, and out on my own two feet. And hopefully all of these steps will bring me closer to where my boyfriend lives. That I think is my ultimate goal. We keep talking about moving in together, but I would really like to get everything in my life figured out before I become a burrend on him ... heh heh.

Well, as the days have been passing, bring Sakura Con closer, my cosplay list has been ever growing >.< ha ha. I never thought My list would become so big.. ha ha. And here it is. It kinda is in order of how I want make them, but now its just wich ever one I can afford at the moment. ha ha.

Nia [Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]
Kairn [Naruto Shippuuden]
Sailor Mini Moon [Sailor Moon]-looking for a Helios-
Lavi [D. Gray Man]
Sora [Halloween Town]
Kairi [Kingdom Hearts II]
Paupo Boy [Kingdom Hearts Super Hero/FanMade]
ANBU Sakura Haruno [Naruto Shippuuden]
Sheena [Tales of Symphonia]
Aerith [Kingdom Hearts II version & Crisis Core]-looking for a Zack-
Belldandy [Oh! My Goddess]
The White Queen [Alice in Wonderland]
Lolita [any character]
A Clow Card [Cardcaptor Sakura]

-phew- At the moment that is all I have. I know some people have a much longer list then this, but I am still new to this world. And boy oh boy do I love it so much!! Not to mention all of the kind people within it. Everyone is so helpful and SUPER nice.

Plus I think my parents would probably kill me. [I told them I wouldn't do any more cosplay related stuff till I got a full time job ... Actually it was a promise. Mor elike my dad telling me NO. T.T]

But I was reading on the site in the volunteer section and looks like for most of the stuff you don't even need to have a badge. Woot.. .But getting there ... and a place to stay. Good thing I pretty much have a few cosplays ready at hand for if I do choose to go and volunteer. Plus volunteering always looks good on anything. And I love volunteering and helping others, makes me happy.

]]> ~misscharliehorse Epic Fail. http://misscharliehorse.deviantart.com/journal/26141169/ http://misscharliehorse.deviantart.com/journal/26141169/ Thu, 23 Jul 2009 23:44:12 PDT Which was super awesome I might have to say and I will so do it again, but probably do a few things a bit differently. Show up a little later. Bring water and Food. Not accept piggy back rides from adorable cosplayer!!

So, after the parade, the wanted to do one last group photo. Epic, right. And I couldn't really be seen. I am one short girl. So the guy in front of me, who was dressed as Lelouch, offered me a piggy back ride. [I know... so out of Lulu character, ha ha] Well, me being the silly girl I am, [not to mention my inner fangirl is also a Lulu fan] I accepted his offer. Not going to lie, I was freaking out the whole time .. and I started to slip off... My friend was trying to hold me up, he was trying to keep me from falling, while I was trying to get off. Funny I know. Well ... add all of these up and what do you get..... Me falling flat on my but in a group of cosplayers. I swear if there are pictures posted somewhere they will be burned. In falling, I think I landed on my foot weird and had to deal with it this whole week until my mom finally dragged me to the ER to have my foot checked out.I have a minor hair line fracture and Now, I have to wear this boot/shoe thing, tape my toe, and walk of crutches.

This is going to make cosplaying very very hard this coming weekend T.T

]]> ~misscharliehorse Summer update http://misscharliehorse.deviantart.com/journal/26072102/ http://misscharliehorse.deviantart.com/journal/26072102/ Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:07:33 PDT
For as long as I can remember I have never really had a summer. I've always worked my summer days away with various odd end jobs to help support my family. But this summer, I've actually been able to be a kid and have a blast. Like yesterday at the China Town parade.

Yesterday I went to the China Town parade, and was with the SakuraCon group (in cosplay of course) and met a lot of cool, new people. I showed off a brand new cosplay and I hope to be posting pictures really soon. We all know that every good thing has its bad parts and the only bad thing was at the end of the parade when we had the final group picture. Of course little me was stuck behind a tall person, and I was sad (and voiced my complaint of course). Well the guy in front of me (he was dressed up as Emperor Lelouch and I would really love to get in touch with him again) said I should hop up on his back. I was scared out of my freaking mind since I am not one to hop on some random guys back. Well after a few minutes of protest, I finally jumped on. Not going to lie it was AWESOME till I felt the need to get off. Lets just stay our fabrics did not match and I fell off his back and landed flat on my but. And to make things even better ... I mess up my foot and have to wear a boot for a few days. T.T I am just hoping it will be better by Gasukan on the 25th

I can not wait for the up coming summer days of fun and cosplaying. Plus getting ready for the conventions of 2010!!

]]> ~misscharliehorse Naruto Chapter 454 http://misscharliehorse.deviantart.com/journal/25711363/ http://misscharliehorse.deviantart.com/journal/25711363/ Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:22:44 PDT
><

SPOLIERS ALERT

Danzo you stupid jacka**!! Wanting to get ahold of Orochimaru's experiments. Oooo, I hope Tsunade-sama wakes up and beats the living crap out of you!!

And how noble of Naruto to allow himself to get the crap beat out of him just become he refuses to give out any information on Sasuke. I honestly respect that. Shows how much he treasures their friendship. But secretly I can not wait till the two meet and have an epic battle.... BUT what if the tables turn and Sasuke teams up with Naruto, Sakura, and Sai to rid Konoha of Dazo and his evil ways??!

School Uniform
Sailor Chibi Moon
Super Sailor Chibi Moon
Princess Chibi-Usagi
OR
An Art Book version

Ahhhh!!!

-beats desk-

Plus if I do Chibi-Usagi I really would love to have a Helios at my side. They are seriously my all time favorite paring in the anime/manga world [besides Sasuke and Sakura ^^\/]

]]> ~misscharliehorse Wow.. Shall I finally introduce myself? http://misscharliehorse.deviantart.com/journal/25048893/ http://misscharliehorse.deviantart.com/journal/25048893/ Sun, 31 May 2009 10:41:38 PDT I guess for my first entry I'll say a little something about myself ^^\/

-I am a pretty hyper-active person
-Super shy around new people
-One proud Alaskan. [but lives in Washington]
-Cosplay + Photography = LIFE
-I love all my friends. [online and offline ones]
-Still doesn't know what to do with my life T.T
-I'm 21, but I look and tend to act like I'm 12.

Uhh ... I think that is pretty much it about me. If you want to know anything more please feel free to ask anytime.
