Sleep? What's that?

Wed Jan 9, 2013, 3:18 PM


I thought I'd get a chance to rest and recover from the semester over the winter break, but I guess I was wrong.  I haven't been sleeping; I get 4 hours a night if I'm lucky.  Last night: nothing.  :dead:  I've also not been doing too great physically, which I'm sure is in part because of the lack of sleep.  I ache all over, all the time, and to top it all off I'm having issues with food again.  Due to all that, I haven't been doing a whole lot of art for the past week; mostly just silly things that end up on my Tumblr.  School starts next week, so I hope having a routine again will help, otherwise I'm in trouble.  :\  

What I *have* been doing is trying to catch up the with comments and  images in my message center.  Today I managed to pare it down from over 6000 to right about 4000.  Good progress!  Forgive me if I don't get to some of your comments; I'm getting to the point where I'll be cutting my losses and trying to start fresh.  If you need to know anything important, feel free to note me, or send me an ask on Tumblr.  Nobody ever contacts me on Tumblr, so I'll notice.  XD

Speaking of Tumblr, I wrote up an interesting little rant yesterday, after seeing "Fake Geek Girl Hate" complaints about 20 billion times on facebook.  Give it a read if you have a minute, it might not be what you think: Of Guys and Geek Girls.

Oh yeah, and apparently I won about a bajillion DA Points for winning OSI, so I should totally run a contest or something.  XD

And that's why I like Transformers. If you watch the old comic, half the characters are colored wrong XD There are even a few spots where some genius mixed up the Autobot and Decepticon symbols XD

I dressed up as Soundwave for Halloween and blew minds. Kids liked it, teens liked it, adults loved it, and old people just love everything. I felt the joy of Transformers that night as I, I made people laugh! It was happy folk and double handfuls of candy all about!

I'm sorry you got hassled at the conventions. Those girls have to be jealous, I can't think of any other reason. Do you know how happy I would be to find another person honoring my fandom? I'd be photos and tears of joy everywhere I'm tellin' yah!

Now if only my little sister will agree to be seen in public with me...

Was earring debacle something that took place at a convention? Or online when you posted a photo of the cosplay?

At an actual convention, Anime Express in Daytona Beach. I was cosplaying Belldandy and I think I had some generic clip-on hoops. That was probably 7 or 8 years ago. The scene got catty in Florida very early compared to some other states, you'd constantly hear things like "OMG, I can't believe she's wearing that" during the Masquerade. Which is really just a ridiculous thing to say at an anime con, since everyone is dressed as an anime character, so no, I can't believe any of us are wearing what we're wearing. XD

I'd like to think I'd have thicker skin about the whole thing these days, but I've been too intimidated to even try getting back into the scene, especially now that I'm much heavier than I was back then.
