~~~~~~~Journal Entry (TLDR at bottom) ~~~~~~~~
Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnnn

I am afraid to say it finally happened.......I ended up doing some half arsed Naruto faggotry for ALCL XD. You may be wondering why? Since I had planned to do Rin Sohma. Well whilst re pleated and pressing the skirt on Friday night, I discovered some problems with the hem-which wasn't too bad, but when I discovered I had no black tights (because my mum apparently threw them out)....well lets just say I pulled a bit of a stress fit which was multiplied by the fact I couldn't find my wig cap. *sigh . So as I am raking through my things to find anything to wear, my mum walks into my room with a black pleated skirt and a bright orange t-shirt asking if I want them. Well Seeing the orange shirt and finding a pair of orange tights in my drawers....well an idea formed. A rather loud and annoying idea. Thus Naruto SNJ Casual was born XD.


There was general faggotry early in the day with , others who don't have DA accounts and the guys. However as expected dearest ( who was kind enough to be bringing me a ninja headband and shoes) and were late. Long story short I won a bet on which time they would arrive...Which I proclaimed very very loudly (hey I was in character!) which didn't win me much favours with who is 's resident Sasuke. She was so annoyed that she wasn't sure if she wanted to encourage me with my dobe like acts by lending me her ninja supplies. Well in Hind sight she probably wishes she hadn't relinquished since the rest of the day involved me haring round like a complete retard shouting "Dattebayo" and her sighing following up with "usuratonkaichi" for pretty much all the day. Fun was had waiting for Masquerade (since we were supporting in her Nero Cosplay *___*), with ejaculating bottles and rounds of head-shoulders-knees and toes XD. I have to say though I wasn't impressed by the judges and their choices in winners- some people who in my book should have placed didn't and some of those who placed I wouldn't have even dreamed they would have won, but our Rue won 3rd place ^^. Also managed to win the street fighter tournament! So much win was had. The day concluded with more faggotry which culminated in me being throttled by our Sasu () whose will finallly broke with a final cry of Dattebayo >_>.THE GOD DAMN TEME TRIED TO KILL ME YA HEAR

Generally though I was impressed by ALCL considering it was the first time the event was run I have very few complaints and most of complaints are down to the masq and little hitches in poor organisation which even the most experienced and large events *cough* MCM *cough* can have. But ALCL is an event I will definitely attend again and I may bring a bigger costume to this event since they were many places to sit XD and much space.

TLDR : Wearing copious amounts of orange is addictive and damages IQ and general common sense:

~~~~~~~Other News~~~~~~~~~

For those who have followed me from my old art account of *lillytuft Hello once again ! After much procrastination I decided to sign up for a second account purely devoted to cosplay and costuming. This is mainly because I decided to keep my art work and cosplay separate for both my watchers and myself. So as of now I will be placing my costumes as well as other artisan crafts I have created along with cosplay photography on this page only. my *lillytuft account will now be solely used for my art.
