Well if you have things you'd like to get rid of, feel free to do the whole "internet freesale" yourself. I read a lot of style blogs, and they tend to sell old clothes, but I don't think anything I'm giving away was bought at the prices they likely bought theirs at, so. I also don't need to give away just clothes. We'll see how well I get on this.
My loan situation isn't actually that bad, even if I don't make a terrible lot (in all fairness I make about half what someone with my degree usually makes, but I don't work for money, I work for things I enjoy doing) and I'm figuring up how well I can live off of what I make now (and going to see if I get a raise for graduating and the like). I managed to pay for a good chunk of school solely off of what I made working (all my high school job money, plus I was an intern at the Air Force Research Lab for a bit, and then what I made while in school at this job). I just had a minor freakout, I'll probably discuss it at some point in an entry.
And yes, I'm a cosplayer, so it means I spend far too much time putting together costumes for video game characters. Which tends to be a combination of sewing, prop making, altering clothes, finding clothes, and having little shame. I'm going to a convention at the end of the month, so be prepared for a lot of flailing about that as I try to get things together. Thankfully this is my "easy" con, which means it's more local to me and I don't do nearly as elaborate costumes as I do for other cons.
