It has been forever since I've been on here, but I just want to let everyone know, that I'm not gone.

I will, however, inform everyone that I'll not be that active on here. I'm more active over on FB under 'Delegara Arts' which has all my cosplay and art updates on it. 

I will be trying to keep this one more active, however I feel that it will basically be for Convention pictures and the like (when I actually get them, I'm really bad at that.) Once in a while, I may post a finished drawing, but I feel that will not be often.

Also, deviantArt has changed so much, wtf?

[edit]

I also figured I should give an explanation as to why its been well over a year since I last posted on dA. (mind you, during most of that, I was lurking right up until about a year ago.) 

I was in a not so great relationship. I basically cut myself off from a lot of things, and spent most of my days on Tumblr and Youtube. Since getting out of that relationship, I've moved on, gained a new relationship, and started mending broken bonds (which is taking forever, what is wrong with me?) One of those things, includes trying to get back into sites that I've pretty much cut myself off from. I haven't been drawing a lot, which is one reason my deviantArt went pretty much dead, however that's slowly changing, as I'm starting to draw a lot more. Most of the art that I've been drawing, is being posted on FB (mainly for the fact that I'm on there a lot more, and from what I remember of dA, it wont take hours to upload. I'm assuming that's changed though, and I will be testing that theory.)

So yeah. It's basically taken me a year to fix shit and get back to my old self, and I'm still working on that. You guys can, however, expect a 'year in review' journal coming the beginning of January, which will basically go over my life in the last year, and catch you guys up on all the stuff you've missed. I'll also be working on uploading works of art from my FB page (for those who don't have FB/ don't want to go over there) to keep everyone caught up.

Alright, so most of my updates for Otafest can be found on :iconderpimprov: which is my cosplay groups account. Basically the entire thing is my POV on the convention but yeah, I'll try and write a bit more here.

So I stayed over at :iconcookiekikira: house on wednesday night, that way it was only one stop before the convention and kind of made stuff easier on everyone. Thursday we got up, went to school (I'm not in school, but she still is) and hung out there for like two periods before her mother came and got us, and we headed off. Mind you, we had to squish all of our stuff into the car (because they didn't think to clean out the trunk for us) and so even though it was only two of us in the back, the ride was still crowded.

Friday :iconbobfishyfishy1: came over, and we were all excited, minus one who was still sleeping. We weren't expecting her until around noon, so when she showed up at like 8am we were all surprised to say the least. Eventually we got into cosplay and headed off to the convention by transit. Oddly enough, our costumes ended up being fairly popular, and lots of people took our pictures before our red link went home and changed.

Saturday we got up early, quickly got ready, then headed off to the convention. The first thing we did was head to the vendors, because, you know, swag. Pretty much right after that we headed off to get changed into our homestuck cosplays for the homestuck panel, then I changed  back into my pandora outfit, because I really did not like the idea of being grey the rest of the day. I also forgot my belt for my Aranea cosplay, so the inaccuracy was bothering me quite a bit. We also got lost on the transit on this day, because our usual route was closed. We hopped on the bus, and saw some cosplayers, so when they got off we thought following them would be a good idea. Little did we know if we'd continued to follow them, we would've ended up at our destination sooner than we had. We ended up not getting on the same train as them because we couldn't make up our minds about wether or not that was the train we needed. It was.

Sunday was kind of a blah day. We still got lost on transit (mind you, we got off a stop late, hopped on the wrong train, had to catch a train back, and then get on the proper train), but we ended up going to a lot more panels than the previous days. We hardly got any pictures, but in the end, I'm kinda glad for that. I think it was nice to have had a break from all the hulla-ballo that had gone on the previous two days.

So my swag from the convention includes the following;
-Volumes 21-27 of Tsubasa (I seriously couldn't find 28, which made me so mad cuz that's all I need now)
-Volumes 5+6, 10-12, 15-17 of Shaman King (It was buy 2/$5 so I just got what they had)
-Nekomimi ears (purchased for me by Omaru)
-4 t-shirts (Angel Beats!, DRRR!!, Madoka Magica, and Blue Exorcist)
-Ravenclaw scarf
-Miku Hatsune shoulder bag (we were running out of room in my bag, and I'm really liking this one)
-2 packs of Pocky (the big packs. 2/$10 was cheaper than the 1 for $6 deal)
-Asuna and Kirito Cosplays (Asuna was purchased for Cookie, while the Kirito was purchased for myself)

Yup, pretty sure that was everything I purchased. Now for updates!

:iconomarunashi: is currently styaing over at my house until Saturday, to which she will be returning home. She's only here because of the convention, and we figured it would be better if she got to stay somewhere between the travelling thing to relax a little. Work is blah, but I still enjoy it.

So today I got woken up at Midnight, because my friends were panicking about another friend (who will remain anonymous for their sake.) because of something they wrote on Facebook. Turns out, it was a good thing that they did, otherwise they probably wouldn't be here right now. Needless to say, I didn't sleep so well last night, because the last thing I wanted was to loose another person that meant a lot to me, especially over text message in the middle of the night. I'm glad they're doing ok right now, but I'm still a little numb feeling about it. Maybe if I go and visit them tomorrow I'll be able to talk to them. They were kind of out of it, due to the amount of drugs in their system, and what was trying to counter-act it. Still, they kind of need to know that their friends are here for them, and will listen and help them through whatever is troubling them as best as they can. Some of them wont know what they're going through, and none of them will understand exactly what they are going through, but we can all still try to make it a little bit more easier to bear.

But just remember kids; suicide is not the answer, and never will be. Please, please, PLEASE, get help if you feel like this. Talk to someone, anyone, when things are making you upset, and/or bothering you. Talk with people you trust, who you know will at the very least listen. I know its not easy, and I know the people you talk to may not be able to give you the answers that you want, but trust me when I say that it does help to get stuff like this off your chest.

Otafest

2 min read
Well, got no journal skin now. Kinda looks lame, but whatever.

Alright, so update of sorts?

Got all of my cosplays done for Otafest (thank god) just waiting for the Link wigs to get in (Which should be tomorrow. Today at the earliest.) Everything is packed, minus the swords and shields, which need to be carried (once again, whatever)

I should, however, finish :iconcookiekikira: God Tier Rose costume for her. So that if she wants, she can wear it at the convention (or just have it, I mean, she is wearing something all three days.)

:iconomarunashi: is coming down for otafest! Hopefully her bus isn't delayed in any way and she can get here on time. (Oddly, its only the rides down that are like "LAWL NOT GETTING HERE ON TIME." and the ones going back are like "maybe an hour early just for you.")

My nose is a little plugged...

We made a group account for our cosplay group; :iconderpimprov: its just starting, and honestly has nothing on it right yet, but once otafest is done, inboxes will be flooded, so please go and check it out!

My nose is plugged, and I have no idea why. It has been for the last couple of days :(

Also, last night I was convinced I worked at 7am xD But today is my late day, so I don't work until 11:30. As we can tell, I am now bored. (I woke up at 8am don't get so worked up!)

:thumb210264952::thumb210264952:


Ok, so first things first, I am bored. But I got the room for Animethon 20 booked, so I'm really excited for that!

Almost got all of my Link costumes done, so that's a bit of a relief. Just gotta finish hemming a few of them, then make the shoes and bomb bags. Oh and finish the shields/ sheaths. Which reminds me I need to alter the tunics so that we can have our sheaths on our backs. I'll do that later.

Moved my room around and I'm really enjoying the new layout. My room seems a lot bigger now, which is nice because I always felt it was really cramped before. Sad news is I now have to reach over my tv/PS2 in order to reach my cosplays, but now my sewing station is right beside the dresser I use for cosplays/sewing/miscellaneous items.

My throat hurts. A lot. I also think I may have swallowed some glitter, so lets hope my poop is now bedazzled. (Because really what other good thing can come from eating Glitter besides not dying?) Please don't ask why I have glitter/ what I was doing to have possibly ingested it, its kind of a long story.

And I still have like a dozen and a half games on the go that I really should finish. Maybe that's what I'll do to make myself not bored anymore? Currently working on FF12, because I've been trying to finish this game since it first came out. Trust me. I'm almost to the part where I was before, and every time I seem to get to this point, something happens that prohibits me from finishing the game. Ie; I lose the game, my siblings get a hold of it, someone thinks its a dish cloth, getting it cleaned means cutscenes take 30 minutes to load, dont care about waiting so my memory card dies. See? So now I'm being like extra careful to make sure nothing goes wrong so I CAN ACTUALLY FINISH THIS DAMNED GAME OMG.

Then I'll probably finish The Last Story since I'm like half-way through that and I bought it in like January. Litterally I bought it because I'd wanted to play it since I'd read an article on it, and then bought it so I could fein the excuse that I was in China so I could surprise Omaru for her birthday. Best idea ever.

Alright I have to pee. TTYL.

Animethon 20

3 min read
Ok kiddies so I've got the pricing for Animethon 20 all figured out! Now I just need to make sure everyone can pay it.

So for the 8 person room its going to be $86/person. Just so everyone is clear and there is no confusion. If you cannot pay that speak now or forever hold your peace! This also includes taxes ok?

So long as everyone can still go with that price, I do have rooms all figured out and what have you, but I'm still going to end up asking around to make sure that there aren't any other pairings I can do before the convention comes around.

Closer to the convention I will be posting what things you guys should probably bring and so on and so forth.

Also on another note, we are getting food for the dorm! I'm wanting a $10 minimum from whom ever is planning to eat food from the dorm in order to get groceries. IF YOU DO NOT PAY FOR GROCERIES YOU DO NOT GET ANY OF OUR FOOD. Just so we are all clear on that one as well. Honestly, I don't think $10 is a lot considering, but the most I would want from anyone is $15, and that would be to get more extravagant things for lunches and dinners. Otherwise I have a tentative list of things to get for the convention as well.

So right now I know for sure that 5 people (including myself) can go. I just have to wait on the others to let me know if they can pay for the room/groceries and we will all be good.

If I don't hear anything from you/someone who can vouch, I'm going to assume that you cannot come and make adjustments from there. IE; I'LL BE GETTING A FOUR PERSON ROOM AND YOU'RE ALL SCREWED.
