I was tagged by the lovely :iconlethal-kitteh:

-You must post these rules

-No tag-backs

1. I've taught myself to play piano, guitar and harmonica and am currently teaching myself to play ukulele. Never taken a single class in any of those.
2. I absolutely love the smell of sweet pea. And white pea. It'd be my trademark scent.... if I just found another bottle of that lovely white pea scented perfume. Or that sweet pea scented body lotion. Whichever.
3. I love writing. One of these days I'm gonna start writing my own book. I've got most of it planned, but I want to get every detail straight in my head before starting.
4. I recently cut my hair short and I absolutely love it! I don't understand why I didn't cut it sooner.
5. It seems I absolutely can't live without being in the middle of some project. It's been two and a half days since Ropecon and I already have new magnificent plans for my next cosplay project. Maybe. If I decide to do it. But it'd be grrreeeaaaattt!
6. I get sunburnt super easily. Seriously, about a month ago I forgot sunblock and even though I was wearing clothes that I thought would cover me well, I managed to burn the back of my neck and my right shoulder (I was wearing my Clicker cosplay and there was a hole in my shirt, so that's why only my right shoulder) so badly that all skin around there peeled off and now both my neck and my shoulder look like I've blocked fireballs with them. Seriously. Scars. Big scars.
7. I kinda collect teamugs. My newest mug is this big gorgeous Assassin's Creed 3 mug with a picture of Connor, the AC3 logo and the text "GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH".
8. My old The Sims 2 addiction flared up some months ago and now I've finally given in and am installing it on my laptop. Yes, right now. And I'm super excited aww yeahhh (8
9. I'm constantly torn in believing and not believing in horoscopes. I don't really believe in those "You will meet a tall dark stranger and find a new job and lose money" but on the other hand I'm so typical Pisces that you wouldn't believe.
10. The skin around my nails is constantly torn and bleeding, and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe I pick at it without noticing, or maybe needles and scissors and such which I work with nearly every day break it. I dunno.

Yeah, I think that's it. I'm not gonna tag anyone because I'm a bore like that, but if you want to do this challenge, feel free to take it and do it and say I tagged you 8D

It's been forever since I last wrote a journal entry. Guess I've moved to Tumblr. No worries, I haven't forgotten DeviantArt, I just now have to divide my attention and I sort of like the chaos that is Tumblr : D

Anywoops. I really don't know what to write about. Guess I just wanted to let you know that I'm alive and kicking. I've about a million projects I'm eager to start working on and one big in which I'm putting all my time. See, I'm making Shepard's N7 armor (8 . Some days it's a pain in the ass, but I never feel like abandoning this project. The good side of cosplaying characters you love, huh? You just don't want to quit the project. Well, that's how it is for me, anyway.

It's about two and half weeks before Tracon and I still have loads to do. I'm planning to have all pieces of the armor cut, molded and painted during the next week and finish the strapping and whatnot after that. I think I'll have that last night's cosplay panic, but it's fine. I can do this. By the way, have you noticed that I have ridiculous amount of self-confidence when it comes to my projects? : D And then I'm super proud of everything I make. Might be funny, I don't know, but that's what keeps me going, I think.

But enough of the N7 armor. I'm dying to cosplay something from Borderlands. I bought it, what, a few months ago and me and my sister have become absolutely hooked. We finished the first game about a week ago or so and I tell you, we're the best team ever. At first I thought I'd want to cosplay Mordecai (the hunter guy, you know) but then we played Mad Moxxi's Undertome Riot DLC and I realized that damn, I'd love to dress up like a lady for once. Because you know what? As revealing as Mad Moxxi's outfit is, I really want to cosplay her. That would mean going pantsless to a con, but it'd be okay, I think. It's not like I have absolutely terrible thighs. And I'd get to make a new sweet little tophat! Ooh, I'm so excited already, and I have a few projects before that!

You see, I decided to take a break from cosplaying Anders and move on to a new Dragon Age character (Yep, I'm still part of our awesome Dragon Age cosplay group, and we're not planning to stop cosplaying DA characters anytime soon). I'm going to make Aveline's Guard Captain armor for the next Frostbite, i.e. February 2014. I've always adored Aveline, and I love ladies in armor, so hell yeah I'm gonna cosplay her. And you know what makes me really happy about that? Apparently Aveline is pretty tall. I'm also very tall. It's hard to find canonically tall ladies in fiction, because apparently people prefer "short and cute" to "tall and wide-shouldered". Or at least that's what it sometimes feels like to me.

So yeah, going to have lots to do. I also somehow find time to play a few hours of video games every now and then, which makes me really happy. Nothing keeps stress at bay as well as a few well-placed headshots and backstabs every now and then (8

Now I'm starting to get really sleepy. Probably forgot to mention something, too. Oh well, I'm sure you'll all manage. Good night! ~

Phew. It's finally summer.

And that means I don't have to worry about my graduation dress anymore (I got it ready perfectly in time, it's beautiful and I love it and it might look a little like my Qunari top because turns out I really like weaving fabric strips 8D . Can show you a picture if someone wants to see it.) and that means I can now return to my cosplay projects. Yay! 8D

I'm still missing the belt and the armguards for my Qunari cosplay and the breechcloth needs some fixing but otherwise it's looking pretty good. I ordered the wig about 10 days ago and still waiting for it. I'm starting to get a little worried, although it should be here any day now. Should've ordered it sooner, but believe me, if there was a land called Procrastination, I'd be nobility there at the very least.

As for my fem!Vega cosplay, I managed to ruin the T-shirt. Well, not me specifically. My mother washed it and the Special Forces logo kind of... faded. Half of it just came off and it didn't look right at all so I tried to print the logo on it again and it didn't work and I had to get a new T-shirt and print the logo again. But at least now I'm happy with it (8 . I also ironed the new shirt twice just in case and am not going to wear it before Desucon. Don't want this shirt ending up ruined, too.

Oh, and I found good fabric for the pants. It's really light camouflaged cotton fabric which I'm going to dye darker. God, I hope it works. I bought some black fabric dye (grey was too light /: ) and am meaning to use half of the bag and soak the fabric there just long enough for it to get darker. I actually tried dyeing a little piece of it a few days ago with my spare blue fabric dye and it ended up pretty bright blue with no camouflage whatsoever. I think I might've left the piece in the dye for a little too long. What can I say, I was playing Mass Effect and forgot to keep an eye on the clock : D

Speaking of Mass Effect, I imported my MaleShep yesterday to ME3 and it was funny (8 . When I imported my FemShep, she turned out so pretty and I love how she looked and the only thing I needed to tweak were her eyebrows because they had turned black instead of brown. But my poor Isaac Shepard... What the hell happened with his face? 8D It took a lot of fixing before I was happy with him. He still looks a bit funny but oh well. Nobody's perfect (8 . And I kind of miss Kaidan. But I'm glad Ashley's there.

And what else? ...I guess that's all for now. I should now start making strapping for my Qunari shoulderguards. I guess I'll do that. Shouldn't be too hard (famous last words).

Eeeeep two weeks before Desucon! 8D

In other words: it's time for Zombie Walk Helsinki 2013! 8D

I absolutely can't wait! I just got home - went to buy syrup so I can make fake blood - and messed with some paper mache and am probably going to tear up this shirt I'm planning to zombify. The Walk's on Saturday and I still have some stuff to finish, but I'm sure I'll make it in time. I also have to do make-ups for my two zombie buddies. We'll see how that works out : D . Anyway, my question is: Anyone else coming? I'd love to say hi (8 .

The other thing. I've put my cosplay projects aside for now because I'm graduating in about two weeks and just a week ago decided that no dress fits me/is pretty/I hate them all, so I'm making my own outfit. I finished the skirt today. It took me only four days to make it - pretty proud of myself. Chiffon is a bitch to work with. It would've been finished in three days but then I noticed that it was a little too big for me and I had to fix it. And now I have two weeks and I want to make a corset with a front similar to my Qunari top. It'll be hard, but I can do it. When I'm finished with that, I'll get back to my cosplays. Will have to make pants and belt for fem!Vega, get the dog tags and finish my boots, and finish the breechcloth and the armor strapping for lady Qunari. I think I can do that, too, before the con. (Four weeks! Eeeeek! 8D)

And one more thing! I'll be creating a page/deviation/whatever for our Mass effect group as soon as I can! It seems I'm not doing that tonight (have to make fake blood and rip that shirt I mentioned) but I'll create it this weekend at the latest. Damn, I'm so excited for that, too : D

Yeah, I guess that's all I wanted to say. I'm off to make that blood now. Anyone else going to go zombie on Saturday? (8

Okay. FINE. I'll do it : D. This post will be mostly in Finnish because I'm writing to my Finnish friends here. Probably the only journal entry I'll ever write in Finnish.

Here goes.

Kansalaiset! Erityisesti te, jotka olette ilmaisseet kiinnostusta Mass Effect -ryhmäcosplayta kohtaan!

Jep, osan huomio kiinnitetty (8 . Homman nimi on se, että nyt on useampi kuin yksi, kaksi tai edes kolme ihmistä sanonut minulle, että mahtava idea (Ei ollut edes minun ideani %D), minä tuumasin, että fine, tönäistään asiaa vähän eteenpäin, sanoista tekoihin ja sitä rataa. Eilen ehdotettiin ryhmälle vielä toteutusajankohtaa (Tracon 2013!), niin pakkohan tämä systeemi oli viedä eteenpäin kommenteissa keskustelusta (8

Mikä tämän journal entryn pointti nyt sitten on? Kysyä, ketä kiinnostaa ihan tosissaan tyylillä "Joooooo tehdääntehdääntehdään!". Ja jos joku muukin kuin minä on jo aivan kikseissään tästä, niin jatkokysymyksistä ei ole pulaa, älkää huoliko (8 . Kuka järkkää ihan virallisesti? Pitäisikö Anikiin pistää viestiä? Onko se nyt se Tracon sitten?

Vastauksia, vaadin vastauksia! 8D THE GALAXY NEEDS US!
