Certain weirdnesses follow me
Sep. 7th, 2008 11:34 amTalked again with this floor's gamer girl, found out she's also a 4-H kid. Which is comforting to me, actually. Reminds me of some of the weirdos I hung out with in high school. Have offered her use of my Halloween Costume Bins for her costuming needs. May have actually gotten talked into DDR club on the basis it's really "rhythm and music games club" and the likelihood that the ones that annoyed me back in freshman year have probably graduated. I just know better than to discuss certain things with fanboys now. XD
It's always the fanboys I seem to get into arguments with. I wonder why that is. It's like my anime test ("Do you like Evagenlion?" if you answer 'no' we're very likely to be anime compatible. Sometimes this is wrong, but it is a good filter for me. XD). It just puzzles me, because on average I get along with more boys than girls; unless they're fans.
Good news! I FOUND MY STEAMPUNK!AURON COAT.
I dodged into the local used clothing/skater/hippie store and it was just hanging there, telling me to buy it. Was $10, long, but not TOO long (I want to be able to show off my boots a little and really, most old military coats are mid-calf), bright red, and the sleeves are not full length (FOR THE BELTED GLOVES. IT'LL BE PERFECT). I will need to use a little grey dye to give it a less SHINY RED look and more of a slightly dirty look, and I really need to clean the incense smell out of it, but that's just a couple cosmetics. The biggest thing will be moving the buttons so it'll have a sort of side opening--which I can totally do. Going to use the old buttonholes to help attach it on the inside. I had just intended on dodging in real quick, too. I'll also have to extend the collar, but I'm thinking that'll be a separate piece, so. It's a little thin for a winter coat, so hopefully I won't die. XD
I clearly have mad skills with recovering stuff.

darcenciel, I totally found pictures of my old Cid Highwind Cosplay. I know, it's ghetto. I was totally wearing my chem goggles.
