What a night!

There is nothing better in this world than having friends and having someone to love, and of course pets eagerly awaiting your return. Tonight I went out, something I rarely do due to my anxiety and I had a blast! I went to my first bar (I'm twenty one mind you.) and played pool for the first time and never have I felt so free  from all my worries. I feel refreshed, ready to go and slightly drunk still. Thank goodness for water.

Anyway since we went out with two cosplay friends we talked a lot about our shared hobby. I've realized that cosplay is more than just a hobby or a skill, it brings people together and creates a bond. That's so important. So amazing that something like cosplay can do. I'm so glad for my friends, and for the first time in a few years I can say I have real friends. I'm ready to face my fears and move on, because my life really is just starting.

So tomorrow I'm going to get up slightly early and work on getting Alice done. I only need to finish the sleeves (The bottom holes are too big and need the elastic to be tightened.) and hem the bottom, then finish it off with the ruffles which will take another day as there is lots of gathering to do. Over all I feel good. Its nice to something other being depressed for once. I showed myself I can let lose and have fun, enjoy my friends and my love.

I'm hoping it will take only a week to get Alice done. Hemming will take a few days (maybe.) to get done. I know I'll be making some mistakes or make the line uneven in some spots as it is such a long area to hem and hemming is my worst enemy. Tomorrow I will work on the sleeves and start hemming. I really want to improve and stop cutting corners as I would love to win an award for this piece next Sakura-con in spring.

It's only day two of summer and already I'm having a great time. Hopefully this keeps up and I can get a ton done, maybe I'll be lucky and get a job too. Who knows. I'm just going with the flow of things right now. There are so many doors to be opened still. I'll open one at a time. Slowly I'll make my life one that I can be proud of.

And make some wickedly awesome costumes along the way.

The next costume I will be making is one of Seth (Trinity Blood) outfits. I'm not sure which one yet, nor do I know who my fiance will be. He loves TB too so I'm sure he'll pick a character soon. Maybe I can get him to be Ion or Cain. XD

Anyway, enough of my blabbing. I'm going to go write! I've never felt so inspired. And in case you were wondering....World War Z is awesome! Go see it!
