Well it's today next week that we shall all be at Auckland Armageddon for 2008. The time has gone so fast since April, but that's a good thing I guess.

Looking forward to cosplaying so much. This is actually the first time that I have been really enthusiastic about it. I did like cosplaying last year and such, but it gets a bit boring to cosplay by yourself (not to mention a bit lonely). Groups are much more fun and we have such an awesome cosplay community in New Zealand. They are really a great bunch of people. Wish I could go to H!ACP, but maybe next year.
I'm a bit nervous how my cosplays look though. I just don't feel that I really had the skill that I thought I had when I first started them. I am now convinced that I have to take sewing classes and start a lot early. I have my cosplays kinda planned out for next year, so hopefully I will do a better job. I could just be being picky though. I also always worry if I will make a good Karen and Yin. Like what if I don't?
Also for Saturday I'm supposed to be borrowing a Shinku (Rozen Maiden) costume. I need to get this sorted out on where I am actually going to get it on and stuff. If that doesn't work out, I just won't cosplay Saturday. I'll still go, but just for panels and skit practise and then leave. Sunday is Code Geass group that's going to just be epic! and then Monday is Darker Than BLACK. (I watched this anime again and came to conclusion that it makes absolutly no sense). Competition which should be fun. Sent form in. So just waiting for confirmination.

Buying stuff is always good too and it looks like Madman are having a sales stall, so that's pretty much the first place I will go to actually get the best deals and I fear a lot of other people are thinking the same thing as me. I have a feeling that I will have a hard time getting in again. I'm just so short compared to others who are older than me and taller. So it's like really squished. Actually getting to the front is a job in itself and sometimes you think maybe it isn't worth it xD.

Voice actors. Always a fun experience to meet the voices that you hear so much in anime. I am really looking forward to Crispin Freeman again. He's so nice. I really want to ask for a hug. Just so I can just say I did it and then squee over it, but I'm afraid he might think I'm some sort of 15 year old stalker. Dave Wittenberg, who I am going to get to sign my Naruto stuff, like my poster. Michelle Ruff who I will get to sign something, I guess. She doesn't really act in much I have.

Amvs. I really don't even want to think about this right now. I don't feel I did a good job AT ALL this year. I also feel that it brings a competitiveness that I don't like out of myself. I know that some competitions are good for us, but I don't think to the point where I will critize others work and not enjoy making amvs anymore. I am kinda ashamed that I do tend to do that. I do enjoy making amvs, but I feel since the competition I have lost that love and feel that it is a duty. I might just take a break from it all to tell the truth. I might just stop making them all together. I'm so much in limbo right now.....

Got exams to study hard for after this. Not really looking forward to that, but it has to be done. Fun now, work later ^^
