From the Guy who sends me Soul Eater DvDs and the Guy who cosplays Sephiroth!

Also! I am picking up my wedding dress tomorrow. At the time this is being typed, I have 31 daqys til Chris and I get married. I've been waiting for this moment...all the time aware...and the joke at work is "How many days til the wedding, Frankie?"

Mom says that presents have already started to arrive at the house. Coupled with picking up my dress and meeting with Mitch and Ray on saturday (Mitch is going to marry us!) and the HUGE PILE of RSVPs on my desk...this has become more real...and I broke out in tears of joy earlier.



If you haven't recieved your invite yet, there are the last rounds going out in the mail tomorrow.



HOWEVER if you HAVE NOT sent me your address or answered to any of my address ocllection requests and still wish to come to the PARTY OF THE CENTURY...then send me your e-mail address and I will give you a boring but valid e-mail invitation ^_^

Mom and Dad booked ballrooms that need to be FILLED people.

People had talked about cosplaying at PAX. 

I would, but i haven't even started designing my Warcraft costume. 
With the wedding being 31 days away, I've really only got that on my mind  ^_^  Understandably!

However, because my current addictions are revolving around Stargate SG1 (we are on the second season, no spoilers please),  Jack keeps sending me lovely SOUL EATER dvds, AND of course my ongoing love for THE VENTURE BROS...I should do something that proclaims these fandoms.

I am trying to get my hands on the SG1 patches at my local comic book store.  Oddly enough...money is TIGHT so even the payment for 4 patches at $8 a pop sounds like it's too much money to be spending.  Chris and I are thinking about it still...we would go to the military outlet and get some neat air force shirts and put the patches on them.  I would love to wear that.  Just add a black tshirt, service pants and some boots and TA-DA!  No particular character...I wouldn't make a good Sam (BLONDE!) and Chris doesn't fit the physical stature of any character other than Tial'c.  Just go with the uniforms.  ^_^  Simple and gets to the point.

And becuase the weight-loss takes time and effort, I still can't fit into the Dr Girlfriend costume I bought form Lindze.  *LOL*  My boobs and hips are still bigger than what the costume allows.  It's all good. I think that I may cheat one day and do the GUild shirt, a cute skirt, white gloves, white boots, and the wig with the pill-box  hat attached.  ^_^

Or...I could actually not go in costume and have one less silly thing to worry about  ^_^

Soul Eater...I love Tsubaski so much.  I've been her in many situations...being with a hot-headed stubburn strong-willed pain in the ass and having to be the CALM ONE.  She's adorable!  I like her simple costume design.  Again, I pick a character whose hair style does not look good on me!  Me and black hair don't get along always too well.

Ok, enough rambling.  I'm off ot spend the day in Seattle.  Later tonight Chris and I are going to catch a Mariner's game with his sister and her girlfriend.  Working for Seattle Genetics has it perks...they like to give their employees baseball tickets!  ^_^

I posted this on my myspace bulliten and my livejournal:

Jack flatlinejack and Matt lordmasamune wrote a little ditty...full of BLOOD, MAYHEM, AND GEEKS!

Or so I'm told.

Grab them up as a friend and help spread the word on Lan Party Massacre!
A bloody romp brought to you by The Guy Who Sends Me Soul Eater and The Guy Who Cosplays Sephiroth!

I am down to 187lbs!  YAY!
I was at 195lbs starting this personal training...now I'm starting to loose that body fat.  I am stoked!  My pants keep falling down (blessing and a curse...it gets annoying!) and no matter how much weight I loose between now and my wedding, my dress will fit just fine.  Hell, it will fit even if I stay at this weight! 

AND even after the wedding, the training will continue.  I'm not loosing the weight just for my big party in September...I'm loosing to become more healthy and keep the family tradition of obesity and diabeties away. 

I'm on the path of fitting into the costumes I bought from Lindze.  The Bleach costumes are a snap...they will fit anyone size 8-14.  But Dr Girlfriend and Temari on the other hand...gotta get the waisteline down a bit.  ^_^  I can do it.  It takes time, but I beleive that by Sakura Con 2009, I will wear those costumes!

I'm in a good place!  I feel healthier, I have a bit more energy, I don't eat when I'm bored, and I feel better abotu my appearance.  I've never thought myself ugly or fat...just goofy and chubby  ^_^

But just think!  My Organization 13 coat fits like a dream right now...if it gets baggy I can just have it taken in and I won't be "Chubby Axel" anymore!  *LOL*  All in good fun...I'm so happy right now I could burst!

I won't lie...I would really like a dounut form the shop downstairs...but I don't NEED it.

Speaking of Axel...the wig is just begging to be redone.  I think it came out terrific for the first try, but I want to see if I can improve.  I see a lot of AWESOME Axel wigs on this site.  You guys have all done amazing jobs with that character's wacky hair design.  You all are truely an inspiration!

JESSIKER is in my hands now.  Most of her anyways.  I'm working on hemming the skirt.  OH MY GOODNESS I'M LEARNING HOW TO SEW!  The corset is still MIA, but I'm sure that Ri and PLude will find it.  I'm not in a huge hurry.  The boots are awesome and we haven't even made the boot covers...I'm almost sad that we will cover these boots...they are really nice tan suede Hush Puppy half boots.  COMFY!

I hope to post up soem wigs for sale soon.  Keep your eyeballs peeled!  ^_^

I'm gonna go make some iced tea, take a shower, and do some makeup tests...wanna see what kind of makeup designs I can come up with for future cosplays.

I added more music to my page.  Very happy to fix all the broken songs.  One of these days I will get all of these songs (some of them I already own...some I need to obtain) on one CD/MP3 disk.  The ultimate Mary Mix!  ^_^  Especially "Cliffs Of DOver" and everything by Carbon Leaf and They Might Be Giants.

I'm pretty drunk on the 4th of july...thank goodness I'm smart enough to not light any fireworks.  *LOL*  Even sober, I won't go near those things.  I'm a bit of a chicken when it come to things exploding.  But take a lesson from me, folks...don't down an entire bottle of anything labled ARBOR MIST if you a re a massive light-weight like myself.  I haven't done that since college and it was a big mistake then.  *LOL*  Hey, all I can do is learn and laugh at myself for that one. 

Time to drink some water and go to bed  ^_^

This blog entry is full of SWEARING...so if you are not privy to cussing, I would suggest skipping my blog entry.  I will not be offended.  ^_^

Nothing in this world is a bigger spanking in the reality cheeks than seeing yourself in a dressing room mirror.

You think you're hot shit? Go to the nearest department store, whatever mart, or thrift store and check yourself out in the mirrors...no makeup, no hair gunk, not bangles or sparkles.Prepare to weep for this is truly a soul crushing experience.

I went to Value Village today during my lunch break to search for costume pieces. I went to try on a couple of cute shirts and became HORRIFIED as to what I saw looking right at me.

Holly hell...I am now in the belief that dressing room mirrors are meant to magically magnify all human physical flaws. You might have a tiny pimple...but this reflecting glass will show you a festuring, basketball sized blemmish that would scare puppies and little children away. You would swear to everything holy that Frankenstien was humping your face...even though you totally thought that pimple this morning was totally minor. This cursed mirror is showing you otherwise.I look into this mirror...this cruel mirror...and was just absolutely HORRIFIED about how completely terrible I looked!I knew that I have huge pours, but this was ridiculous! I could have gone spelunking in the holes in my face! The dark circles under my eyes made me look like VINCE FUCKING VAUGHN! I know that I have a body hair problem...this mirror decided that I should like my brother trying to grow a beard! THANKS A FUCKING LOT!

And then...oh boy...AND THEN I see my body.

Folks, I know I'm chubby. I eat and drink pure junk. I know that I should not wear daisy dukes and half shirts. I have no tone in my thighs or arms which causes the skin in those areas to jiggle and jive everytime I move. I have a belly on me that is causing the line-of-site issue to my toes.

But HOLY SHIT.

This mirror....this horrid, unclean mirror that sits in a white flat room underneath unforgiving fluorescent bulbs kicked me in the self esteem something fierce. So much so that I'm blaming the blazing headache I suffer from as we speak on this fucking mirror.I saw in the mirror a woman who rides the bus regularly, takes no effort in her appearance, and could really stand to start using some moisturizer on her EVERYTHING. My stomach did that FLUB thing...muffin-top nothing...this was a goddamn 4 tier CAKE oozing above the waist bands of my slacks. You could have seriously put me in an XXL Tweety Bird shirt, a pair of hot pink stretch pants, dirty white sneakers and called me MARYSVILLE'S FINEST at that point.

I wanted to cry.

I'm not blaming fate or genetics. It's my own damn fault for looking like this. I mean, I'd rather bitch about getting into shape on livejournal than, Heaven FORBID, get off my size 14s (pushing 16! w00t!) and get to working out AND eating better.

And do not feel bad for laughing at my post...I figure humor is the best medicine and wrote this all in the hopes of making myself feel a little better. Is it working? I don't know...it hasn't made me any thinner.

This post is meant to be both funny and tragic. It is very, very true. It really happened today and it really is how I feel. I have put myself in this situation...I know that I can get out of it if I would only get on the ball and do something other than post about how unhappy with my body I am. I do not htink that I'm ugly...I would hope that in the eyes of my wonderful fiance that I am sexy, but I know that there is much I would like to do for my body for the better. At least my eyes, my hair, and my boobs are awesome.

Bottom line is: By all means, please chuckle without feeling guilty...teh mirror telled me I waz FAT

Wow!  So I've got a ton of costumes lined up for the year and some fo them are already made!

I just recently bought some costumes from Lindze that I'm excited to wear...especially DR GIRLFRIEND!  *LOL* 
I bought
Dr Girlfriend (Venture Bros)
Matsumoto (Bleach) 
*I gave my old Bleach costume to my cousin, Margot!  She was thrilled!*
Kaylee (Firefly/Serenity)
Temari (Naruto)
AND!  I bought a summoner Yuna costume from....name escapes me...but she did a lovely job!

My wonderful and geeky fiance had an Organization 13 coat commissioned for me for Christmas.  SO EXCITED!  I'm styling both an Axel wig and a Larxene wig! 

Blue Bow Space and I are colaborating on Jessica from Dragon Quest 8!

And I'm working on constructing Jet from Cowboy Bebop for my fiance.  He and I are toying with the idea of building/constructing the Orc cheif Thrall from World Of Warcraft.  It will be a project with no estomated time of finish...but it will be a fun project.

That's what I have on my plate.  It's nothing compared to what the talented folks who sew their stuff as far as work is concerned.  *L* I can't wait to see what people have lined up for costumes at Sakura Con this year!

Hey peeples!

Here's hoping for a wonderful Holiday for everyone!  What ever you celebrate, I hope that it's fun and leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling.  ^_^

Be safe, drive/travel carefully, and BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER!

So I added new photos during the weekend.  You can check them all in my gallery.  New Ranma, Reno, and the cool stuff that Chris dressed up as.  ^_^  I'm very pleased with the way everything came out.

I'll put up a Matsumoto phot or two taken by the WONDERFULLY AMAZING Darkina.com.  He did great work...I, on the other hand, looked like a train wreck.  I was sloppy and didn't think ahead...I seriously threw the costume on and didn't apy attention to how good my makeup was and my wig gave me nothing but hell.  My costume wouldn't stay closed either.  XD

 But the point of all this is to check out my Ranma, Reno, Fiance's, and Wackiness galleries!
