Wow okay this is weird. Never really blogged before... Ah I think I can get used to it..
So anyway um... hi. I'm Rachel, I'm 18, and I've always wanted to see what it would be like to have a blog. So here I am.
I have a lot on my mind.. but the biggest thing is ACen. It's short for Anime Central, and it is in about a month. It's an anime convention with a crapload of people just like me who love anime and its hard to explain so if you've never been to an anime convention you wouldn't understand. Well okay, maybe you would, but go google it or something, because I don't feel like explaining.
Anyway, I went last year with some friends, and it was awesome, and that was only for a day and we didn't even do anything, so this year it's going to be ten times more awesome because we're going to stay there for the whole weekend and we're going to go to panels and shows and whatever else the crap you do at anime conventions and wow this is a really long sentence. I think one of the big reasons why it's so appealing (besides the fact that you get to dress up as awesome anime characters for a whole day) is that I really feel like I belong there more that anywhere else. I've never really been very confident in making friends, but when I'm at ACen I feel like I already know everybody. I don't need to worry about people thinking I'm a freak for liking what I like, because they all like it too! I just feel... accepted. That's something I've always longed for and only found with very few people in very few places.
In case you're interested, the first day of ACen my friend is going to be Matt from Death Note and I'm being Near. The second day the same friend (her name's Diandra) and I will be Luki (her) and Noki (me) from Dogs: Bullets and Carnage. The last day another friend is joining us and we're being the purple, red (Diandra), and blue (me) links from Legend of Zelda: Four Swords.
Ah, speaking of our costumes, I have to buy some yellow contacts for our Luki Noki costumes pretty soon. We still need to sew everything for that costume too... my other ones are done. And it's the Luki Noki ones that we are most looking forward to. You have no idea how excited I am right now just thinking of it. And I just went to Diandra's house yesterday to cut our teal wigs for the costume. They turned out pretty well. We've never cut hair before, but I think we did a pretty good job.
Oh, and tomorrow I'm going to an anime... thing at F.Y.E in the mall with Diandra and Alyssa (she introduced me to ACen) and we'll be cosplaying and I'm hoping it'll be pretty awesome. I'm a little worried about walking around the mall looking like anime characters, who don't exactly dress normally, but if I'm with other abnormal people, I'll be more comfortable with it. Except that now Diandra won't know until tomorrow if she can even go because her mom suddenly decided that she doesn't like this whole anime thing Diandra seems to be into. Diandra's been watching anime since she was in 8th grade. She's a junior in high school now. And so close to ACen! If she can't go to ACen... wow I don't even know what I'll do. She's like my best friend and all our costumes are coordinated with each other's.
But anyway, maybe I'll blog about it tomorrow and let you know if she came to F.Y.E. and what happened at the mall and all that jazz.
