Made a lot more progress on Rinoa stuff -- ordered fabric, wig, ring necklace, as well as got basic shirt and shorts. Now it's just on to the waiting for stuff to come in, modifying things, and then making the skirt and finally the duster/arm bands when the fabric comes in. OH, and finding the boots. Gah! BUT, even better -- I got the wig and ring necklace for under $25, combined! I'm so happy! (I just hope the quality is good on both though, haha, that's the only fear...) 

I need to get some Yuffie and Korra stuff done this week too and I feel really accomplished. Especially now since we've practiced/choreographed some of the dance already! Today has been super productive, which makes me super stoked and excited. It'll be a good night's sleep knowing I got stuff done.

Now to practice the tutting some more, and then go to bed to wake up to anoter productive day of studying for my Biology test, bleck.

Scream

But I'm just in a really stinky mood today for some reason... all of a sudden too, it just hit me. Idk what it is; maybe I was distracting myself a lot earlier. I think it's a mixture of being tired, and just other things I'm thinking about that are getting to me..

I basically just want to cry and scream into a pillow, or curl up and sleep and not wake up for a while.

"Swim for brighter days

... despite the absence of sun".

Probably my new favorite song, "Swim" by Jack's Mannequin.

Sorry for no serious posts for a while guys. I was gonna' try to do update ones about all my summer activities, post pics and all that jazz, but I got too lazy, lol. I like blogging, but I am not meant to be a blogger apparently. At least a serious one, I can blog and write for fun all I want xP Mainly just to talk to you guys and keep you updated.

Gosh, Legend of Korra, giving me so many feelings. I will probably write out a seperate blog before the finale just dumping them all out. Feelings about all the drama, the romance, the Mako-Korra hate. I've read a lot of good analysis on Tumblr and want to share it. Analysis from all sides, I'm trying to remain uber-neutral until I just can't be neutral anymore. I don't want to get biased cause that ruins things, haha~ (though I was always bias about Zutara vs. Kataang o.< but whatever!)

ALSO, trying to remind myself -- even though I love it, and it's amazing, it is just a television show. I should invest so much emotion and time and worry into it as much as I do, haha. Hopefully this gets fixed

After seeing Mattie's to-do blog, I decided to throw one up too. Oh dear, here we go.

Korra:

- Make new, accurate shirt w/ collar
- Order leotard for under shirt
- Re-do suede fur skirt thing (new fur?)
- New shoes
- Re-do arm-bands/upper arm band
- New solution for hair accessories?

Rinoa:

- Order fabric for duster and arm things
- Make duster and arm things @_@
- Buy shorts to modify (athletic shorts)
- Zippers for shorts, buttons for skirt
- Buy tank-top (sweetheart neckline)
- Make skirt
- Find boots
- Wig?
- Rinoa's ring necklace?

Yuffie:

- Fix/brush through wig
- Take in vest, add details/hardware and finish up
- Add details/hardware to hip pouch thing
- White trim on socks
- Try everything on and figure out more adjustments if needed

The ONLY way I can have a third one is cause Yuffie was more than 70% done anyway and has been sitting idly by, waiting to be finished.

Cosplays I'm thinking of wearing when:
Friday -- Yuffie
Saturday -- Rinoa
Sunday -- Korra.

If I don't bring anything, it'd be Yuffie, and only if I need to put more focus towards Rinoa and Korra. But if not, I'll probably re-wear Korra or something. I discovered from AKON not cosplaying isn't nearly as fun xP

I agree though Mattie -- I sometimes want to hesitate looking up pics of other cosplayers cause I'll just find amazing ones with amazing photographs that blow me out of the water. And I'm like "why try?" that's equivalent to the feeling I got seeing that other Korra at AKON. But we need to quit defeating ourselves and take that as motivation to make ourselves even better. Be the best we can be, and just have fun. We all want to make it into a contest to be the better one, but what does that title even give us? If we only stress out and freak out and worry over cosplay, even if we're the best, is that really the fun way to go about things?

IDK, I'm trying to think reasonably so we can all quit beating ourselves up. I know it's hard though, cause I definitely go through it too. :'/

Let's have fun guys and do our best!

All this drama makes me miss the original Gaang.

Those were the days...

I just want the Krew to figure everything out, and be happy. <3

I got you.

"Go ahead and make me cry,

I'll be alright.

And when you need a place to run to

For better or for worse, 

I got you."
