I went to my first convention back in 2003 I think, but I know that right after that con me and my friends started cosplaying in 2004.
I started on video games very young. My dad brought up a house of gamers. If I couldn't play the game myself, I'd watch. So he made wee-little Aneris watch him play horror games like Resident Evil. I had nightmares for weeks! But I love RE and zombies now XD
Oh yeah! I also get alot of "DAMN! You look pissed!" Well, I'm not. Usualy anyway. I just have a mean looking facial expression when I'm not really thinking about anything. Which kinda sucks, because it scares some people away from ever wanting to talk to me. Hmmm. I'm actually pretty easy to get along with.
