Cosplay

Earlier today I sent a message to this props place which did the armour set and sword for a Clare (Claymore) cosplayer, asking for a quote.  I've been thinking about it, and not only did the armour and sword come out looking amazing, I...really do not have the time or the skill to make Teresa's stuff myself.  I know I had people tell me that they would help me out, but I feel sort of bad having my friends and sister do so much for me when they're also trying to get their costumes done, simply because I suck at the crafts thing and I have no time to do it myself.  So, I figure going to a professional and paying them would relieve the stress for me and for others.  Of course, this is just the armour set and the sword, so I'll need to complete the rest of the costume myself or have someone else also take care of that, but it's the bulk of the costume.

Already planning for Otakon 2013.  I'm really excited for it, since I had to miss it this year.

Teresa is who I am planning on going as, as of now.  It might depend on if this commission thing comes through for me, though.  Presently, I do not have a backup, but I might want to think of someone else just in case.


The Youth and Government director for judicial asked me to head somewhere in less than two weeks to help teach the justices cases this year.  I emailed back saying I wanted to, but am hesitant, because I barely have time to do anything recreational, let alone tackling the four/five cases and teaching them.  I just don't know if I'll have the time to learn everything.
