There were SO MANY amazing cosplayers yesterday but I want to specially thank
@BelleChere
@MabIsTink
and
@JackieGoehner
for all being so wonderful. Cosplayers are the best part of any con!
And it was great to see so many Red Sonjas, including the bearded gentleman!
If anyone felt like sending me some positive juju, it would be fab! I've got a second interview tomorrow morning for a really great job.
Creative AF + amazing pay + A+ company = 🤞🤞
Wish me luck! 😄
YA GIRL LANDED A GOOD JOB
Remember that seasonal job I had at the ski resort? They turn into a bike park in the summer, so they're fairly year-rnd.
I worked ticketing & the cafe. Now I'm EVENTS MNGR.😁😁
I'm planning kids days, lobster feasts, live bands & races. CAN'T WAIT!
I know I've been fairly quiet lately on all social media fronts (sorry!) BUT I just got a HUGE promotion! 🍾🥂 I've only been working with the company for 3 months, and I'm already way up the ladder. So that's what's been going on! 😀😀
Hey all, just cause I'm not active on social media does not mean I've 'stopped cosplaying'. That's ridiculous. This might come as a surprise, but you don't have to post online in order to
#cosplay

13 years of
#DragonCon
, but my first time at
#LifeSouth
, giving blood. I'm just a lil nervous. 😅 I'll be getting into ElastiGirl later, and will be hanging around the Marriott!

I confess to being a DM, nothing more.

The utter relief I'm feeling right now at finding employment after being laid off last year is immense. 🥰 Regular 8-5 with weekends free, and a relaxed environment with friendly, chill co-workers. It was worth the wait, even if I went a little crazy in the interim! 🎉🎉
I am so proud of Lodaim. Not only did he make all of this himself (minus boots), meticulously sewing on every scale, but he friggen ROCKED IT. ❤️ This is him in the costume contest. So proud. 🥰😁

I've decided on what I'll be wearing for the other half of Saturday at

I've seen this movie dozens of times and I think I'll watch it again today. 😁

For anyone curious...
I went with job
#1
, the local company with a good moral compass & less pay. Mon-Fri, the benefits are actually pretty great for a Maine-only company, and the atmosphere seemed chill.
So I'll be a stitcher at Sea Bags! Bags made from 100% recycled sails. 😁
Thank you so much for the positive wishes, everyone! ❤ The interview went swimmingly. I think it's in the bag? They spoke as if I were already hired, but didn't actually say that I got the job. 😆
I'm going to get celebratory ice cream anyway. 😁🍨
Sorry I've been so quiet lately! I've been:
• Making my wedding dress
• Arranging centerpieces
• Getting prepped to make the wedding cake
• Organizing flights coming in & pickups
• Creating a few playlists
• Organizing a pot luck
• Writing a ceremony
• Emptying my wallet
Our cat, after 9 years, has finally paid the rent.
He got a mouse.
We didn't think he had it in him. He is not fast.
I'm actually very proud of him. Good job, Riku. ❤️
Now that I've got Shulkie on the brain, I came across my favorite candid photo of all time of me. This picture encompasses the feeling of DragonCon for me. I'm just overjoyed to be chatting with friends. 💚

OK I don't have any pics to prove it, but Adam Savage just stopped by the room I'm staying in & we had a delightful convo about cosplay, Jaws, & the Grant Imahara Fnd. It was such a surprise. I was totally caught off guard, which was for the best cause I didn't overthink it. 🤣
The traditional marriage gift for a 1st anniversary is paper.
So Lodaim & I went to city hall today & made our marriage recognized by state/country. It was wicked sappy sweet to have to cite oaths again with the city clerk.😁
It's on paper now.😄❤️
Here's to many more years!🍻
Today I'm cutting and painting trim. 😊We're so close to being done with the outside! I'm pretty much doing finish work outside, while my dad and sis are starting elec and plumbing inside. The lumber piles are nearly gone yaaaay!
All signed up for
#bellydance
classes! I've wanted to do this for years and I can't wait! If I get any good at it, expect some dance videos (maybe even in
#cosplay
!) later on this year. 😁😁😁
I'm happy to have found some seasonal work at a wonderful family-friendly ski mountain. My coworkers are great, everyone's having fun, it's been a fun place to work. So sad it's seasonal, and we're nearly at the end of the season!

#SkiME
🎉Here we goooo!🎉 I am SO excited to be returning to SiliCon this August 28 & 29!
Where are my CA folks at? Y'all know I don't make it to the west coast that often. I'd love to see you there! 😁

#SiliCon
Working on something fun for EVERYONE. Multiple variations will be available ranging from super lewd to more modest.
Tag a cosplayer you want to see do a version like this!
Thanks to

For the 1st time in my life, I've been able to purchase an out-of-country vacation. It's NOT a convention, an actual vacation. This is such an accomplishment for me cause I never spend $$ on myself.
I got so jazzed last night buying the tickets that I nearly hyperventilated.😆
So...I'm in Burbank and see half the cast of
@CriticalRole
doing some pre-gaming an hour before the show.
No, I didn't have the guts to bother them. I just watched in wide-eyed disbelief. 😲
If that's my LA celebrity sighting, I'm good with that. 😁
#CriticalRole
Several people have encouraged me to start blogging again on Tumblr, as a means of expressing myself. I've been quiet for a long while - too up in my head, allowing negativity to bounce in an echo-chamber. I think I'll start back up again. Besides, I miss posting how-tos! 😊
It's been forever since I even looked at my
#cosplay
contacts, so I went & bought new ones for safety/health.
I guuueeess if I'm getting back into cosplay I should get used to my face being online again. When the contacts come in I'll put them on my eyeballs and take pics, yeah?
Me: I'm nailing this remodel of our house. It's going to look so nice and adulty.
Also me: OOH I'M GOING TO 3D PRINT A 4' TALL MOVING STARGATE FOR THE KITCHEN WALL.
Dear men,
This is usually not okay, but it's *especially* not okay on a 4+ hour flight. I had 2/3 a seat, and airline seats ain't that big to start with. Your balls are not that big, bucko.

@FNDungeonMom
If this is ableist, then you're also being v lazy. I also have ADHD/anxiety and I keep a spell app open at all times so I don't have to make my DM do the work.
Don't make DMs do extra work. Period.

I've never hidden who I am...but this is the first Pride I'm making a post like this, saying it aloud. 💜
Here's a moment of Zen from the hike I took yesterday through Grafton Notch. I could just sit here for hours, listening to rushing water. It fuels my soul. 🥰
I have lost so much weight on this trip, or at least my clothes seem big now. We should have done honeymoon THEN wedding. 😆 I'll just try and keep the momentum up once we get home!
...and start on Moxxi from BL3, now that I'm feeling better about my weight! 😃
Twitter clean-up time.
Some folks complain so much on here that I don't even know if they like anything at all.
It's all well & good to bring up world issues to discuss. If that's all you are, tho, you're media to me.
Show people you're human, that you love as well as hate. ❤️
My top skirt has over 11 yards of fabric. I'm cartridge pleating it, by hand.
Why 18th century. Whyyyy.
I hope to fit both dogs under this dress.
Gonna be shimmery af.
5 days!

Phew! My fingertips are wicked sore, but I finished this up last night. This is what I was making on Twitch: a hurdy gurdy! Still unstrung, but the gears move really smoothly. 😁
I am a kitchen witch. Food is my language of love. If I love you, I will want to cook you a meal, just to see you ☺️
For dinner I made Tuscan butter gnocchi for my sis & it was heavenly. Delightful lil potato pillows, smothered in parm cream sauce, w/roasted veggies.
She was ☺️
Good news! I don't have cancer! 😁
Eye-rolling news is that we're basically back to square one on what's wrong with me, cause women's reproductive health isn't fuckin studied enough.
But I've been told five times by medical pros that I'm not pregnant, so there's that. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
😁😁I AM PLAYING D&D IN PERSON WITH FRIENDS TODAY!😁😁
I'm leaving Maine for the first time in over a year, going to Mass, and I'm gonna hug my vaccinated friends SO HARD. 💪❤️💪
Sorry I've been so absent lately! I just started a new job, and the training is INTENSE. 😨
I'm sure looking forward to my vacation in a couple weeks! Who will I see at
#ColossalCon
? 🎉
I'll be making a Moxxi
#cosplay
from
#Borderlands3
...but I'm going to play the game 1st.
Am I the only one who does this, play or view content 1st? I swear I've seen at least 7 Moxxis already & there's no way they've played the game yet.
I'll be the 53rd Moxxi. I don't care. 🤷
I'm an introvert by nature, but the idea of participating in a community has always appealed to me...until there's drama. Now I lurk & give kudos/positivity/tips where I can & keep distance.
When y'all get riled up ask if it's really going to matter in a week. No? Drop it. 🙃
Ya girl got herself a $1 raise! Yay!
Did I ever stress sweat during that meeting tho.😅
My supervisor said I need to advocate for myself more, and I was just screaming internally, cause that's all I feel like I've been doing lately. 🙃
Shout-out to all the 30 somethings who were in a critical development phase this time 20 years ago, and who are tired of being reminded every year with people asking where you were when it happened. Fuck that. Trauma doesn't need to be brought up yearly to be remembered.
Confession: I haven't watched a single
#CaptainMarvel
teaser/trailer yet. At first it was because I was too nervous that it might not be right, that they'd fuck her up somehow. Now I'm in for the long haul, pure stubbornness. You bet your britches I'll be there March 8th, tho. 🌠
Update: The post office thought we were dead. Our usual post delivery lady called the police due to us not picking up our mail for 3 weeks.
I had to try really hard not to make any marriage jokes, and not laugh really loud. 🤣🤣
#dying
FABRIC CAME! I'm so excited!! It's been so long since I ordered fabric and tearing into the package made me happier than expected! 😄 EEEEEEEEEE BIG MOMMA VAMPIRE COMINNN 🖤
So far
#DragonCon
has been walking round a corner & screaming/getting screamed at & crying happily as I randomly see friends.😂I really really needed that kind of positive affirmation.🥰I'm honestly having a wonderful time & I'm so grateful to those who helped make this happen.♥️
The loops Christians will jump thru as to why Easter is never on the same day, and is always based on the full moon cycle, is hilarious.
'Calendars weren't the same 2000 years ago, so the deathdate isn't known'
But y'all *know* Jesus' birthday? 🤣🤣 Please.
Gosh it sure is nice to feel wanted in the job market again. I've always felt whenever getting interviewed that I was just an interruption to someone's day. Today I was offered competitive wages and told that I was wanted and needed. Felt good. 🥰
