Cosplay

Another thing I want to do this year is cosplay. Most likely at the Anime Expo in downtown- especially since I am close enough to walk. For the anime expo I am going to go as some of my favorite Japanese anime characters (as long as I get them prepared in time.) I also wanted to do Comic con as some of my favorite comic book characters- but I believe that is already sold out  :P

Cospay is basically costume play. Some of my favorite part is how close you can get to the original. Cosplay I believe started with Japanese anime and has since gone into characters of any and all movies, tv, and animation.

Here are some great examples of cos-players. All are great costumes and great photos as well:

Wondering Gnome....

I have been really bad about posting lately. I have been half writing it on post its and in my head though- so here it is. 

Lately I have been feeling a bit like the I am wondering in the fog....there is so much in my life that I feel is there on the edge. So many things just waiting to happen....lucky for me all these things are good- things I have been waiting very long to do....things that have been looming over me. It puts me at such a high- to have waited patiently (most the time) and I am almost there. 

SO I am saying there should be a lot more for me to write about this year ^o^

 I kind of feel like the baby ducks leaping from the only life they have know into their new life. It is unknown and scary at times- but also fun of excitement. (And this clip is super cute) And if you haven't watched Earth yet please do! 


I will be doing a series of posts on things that I want to accomplish this year- and then posting my versions once I finish them :) 


SO stay tuned for more fun stuff to come!

Happy New Year!

Well New Years Eve was fun for me- although I came home and feel asleep on the couch- I got to spend it with my loved one ^-^

Haven’t really made any New Year’s resolutions I really just making goals- and revamping my to-do list for the year. Still got a few things on my to-do list that I wanted to finish up last year, but most are started just not finished yet.

Another thing I have been thinking about is the supernatural. (Maybe because it is my current book genre of choice)

Even when I was younger I thought it would be so cool if I have telepathy- then I wouldn’t have to walk across the room to pick up that book I want. I think I even tried to see if I could do it a few times.

But I have been thinking how cool would it be if it was real- vampires, shape shifters, people with wings, and horses with wings…

 I think I would be willing to give up the sunlight to be an immortal vampire.  V,..,V

Or cope with having to cut all my clothes in the back to accommodate my wings. I wouldn’t even mind having to sit in a backless chair!

And come on a horse with wings- Pegasus! That would be amazing!

Sometimes I find myself fantasying that that it is all real- they are just hiding. Then the logical side of my brain fights with the part of my brain that still has an active imagination. Like when you are walking down a dark hall and you get this feeling someone or something is following you…

So for the record I am all for the supernatural =^o^=

Merry (Belated) Christmas!

No this is not my house- but doesn’t it look cozy! Beautiful tree, fireplace, probably snow outside….

Merry Christmas! It is a few days late….Christmas was really great here. I really enjoyed the 4 day weekend.  

I spent the day with Nick- woke up early and opened our gifts. He got me one of the best gifts ever! Trail riding certificate for the LA equestrian center! I have been saying all year how I wish I could go riding again- so very sweet -I was so surprised! ^o^ Also some lotion and sugar scrub so I am extra soft now : P

Later in the day we enjoyed Christmas dinner- roast with mashed potatoes, biscuit and cornbread stuffing. Very yummy the roast was done perfect. : ) Then he made a yummy pear and ice cream dessert…yes, he is the best ever!

I was so proud- I got out all my Christmas cards before Christmas and just sent out my family’s Christmas gift package….so they get their gifts a few days late- but hey they are getting them : )

Here is a photo that we took when I was back for my visit in November.

You can see more at my sisters photo blog here

Major of course was not left out- he got some yummy Christmas treats. Although I am sure he would have settled for a piece of roast: P

It is back to work for me- but I have a three and a half day weekend! And I get to spend my New Years with Nick so I am excited!

Happy New Years everyone!
