Hi, Sogie. How are you? I've missed you. I miss talking to everyone like we used to.
Bladey and I did technically get back together, but I miss him right now. He did PM me a while ago, and he's as romantic as ever. He's working on getting his own place. I hope he does get back soon, and that he doesn't just suddenly break up with me again. I don't know what to do if he does...
I haven't had any luck with making friends on the forums. I know I can't go back to the Cosplay.com forums because this one girl who is a prominent member of the site just suddenly bitched out at me for my 'downer attitude' just when we were discussing sewing machines and getting a serger. All I did was list some options that would work for me, and she accused me of dismissing her advice. And then this other person just agreed with her, and said that there was too much negativity on the site because people were too insecure. But, that just happens in the cosplay community. People are insecure because they're putting themselves out there. Also, I don't think I'm negative all the time, I did try to post about things that I like, and I tried to help people. And after I defended myself, the forum asshole twisted my words and made fun of my post. Cosplay.com forums aren't that great anyway. Only like five people post there regularly, and no one really talks to each other or answers questions. I was meaning to say this a while ago, but no one here was around. Also, I've been dwelling on it because it's something that I've heard my whole life. That I just ruin everyone's atmosphere with my negativity and I'll never get as far as other , more successful people.
I did get some extensive dental work done, and I'm trying to take care of the rest of my body. It's really hard to afford all the things that I need right now. So, I sacrificed some of my cosplay and convention plans for them. But I finally did get to go to Anime Midwest this month. I got lost several times on the way, so the first day, I just went to pick up my badge and my tea party ticket, and take one picture. I walked around a lot just to do that. I ended up not going on Saturday, but on Sunday, I finally went to the tea party, dressed in my Angelic Pretty Melty Berry Princess Shirring dress. The other Lolita's were so nice, friendly, and understanding. I felt like I was at home with them. And Misako Aoki was there, too! If you don't know who she is, she's a nurse and a famous model. She is such a kind, friendly, elegant person, and her coordinate looked so wonderful. I bought a poster and she autographed it. I even got to shake her hand. It was one of the best experiences in my life. I can't wait to go back to another tea party. Even if it might be after a while.
