A day out

Today was a refreshing break from my typical  day-to-day. We headed out into downtown Portland and went to the amazing book kingdom, Powells. I got lots of books and some manga. Which I am super happy about I don't get manga often. I decided to get caught up on Black Butler. Although I read them online reading them with a correct English translation is always a lot of fun. So I got the last two manga volumes. These go into Ciel's past, which is one of my favorite parts of the manga. Its so interesting I hope they go deeper into soon. That school arch bored me so much. Thank goodness it is over.

We do want to cosplay Black Butler. Nicolas wants to cosplay Grell. Yes, a male Grell. How awesome is that? I'm excited to torture  to dress him up as Grell. Now he did pick out Grell himself. I don't pick out his cosplays. I allow him to pick out who he is going cosplay, and yes he does pick out the series as well. That's what makes it so fun. We try to do everything equally.

But it will be fun to put make-up on him and see him in heels and a long wig. I complain a lot when my wig slips or when my feet are screaming so he'll get to see why being a female is hard. Lol. I have yet to pick a character. I am either going to go with Madam Red (I love her personality. and outfits.) or my first ever crossplay and go as the Undertaker. I won't pick one until later when we decide we'll cosplay them. They may be our next cosplay because they will be simple to make and not very stressful to wear. Since our Trinity Blood cosplays will be our main cosplays for while we'll need something simple and comfortable. Although I think we'll stick with Trinity Blood, Pandora Hearts and xxxHolic for a while.

Next outing (Not sure when.) will be to start collecting things for Abel's cassock! I can't wait to start sewing! I'm having withdraws. But right now I'm going to go read some manga and write. I am so close to finish my novel right now I am very jittery and really want to put my best forward and work hard to finish it. So wish me luck! When I finish I have the rest of the month to edit and reverse while I research for my next novel that will be written next month for NaNoWriMo .

Toodles for now!
