Since I dropped 15 pounds and continue to build upper body mass I have turned crossplayer. Like you didn't see that one coming. Crossplaying is a $@%^ load for fun, especially when done right. When I first was a scout I did it all wrong. I have thus corrected my obvious mistakes, and the painful ones... ouch..tape. Now that the year is rolling on by I'd like to take any suggestions for cosplay at ACEN. Anyone consistently missing from your group shots? I enjoy sewing and have no problem being unrecognizable. So, go ahead, throw me a bone. It doesn't even have to be an anime I know of. I may just take your suggestion.

I recieved the arm patches last Monday. They were made by a friend, and the best part is, they were free! The coat looks amazing, to the point that I do not believe it. Pictures will come soon, after Realms con.

Problems
I have tackled the issue that begun with Wossname about the belt riding up because of the weight of the medipack. To counter this, I have put two small black pouches on either side of the belt, filled with ball bearings. The weights should hold the belt down to my waist. This has yet to be tested, but became the best option for my budget.

I overcharged the medigun; how poetic. The battery is not supposed to be charged for longer then 4 hours. I made the mistake of plugging it in and then going to work. My bad. They cannot replace the battery at a Black&Decker repair center; usually they just ship you a new one. Once I recieve the new spotlight I will attempt to disassemble the old one and then attach the new. After I attach the new spotlight I am going to give her a fresh coat of paint.

I recently recieved a haircut that is a 'bob' just below my chin. I had either debated letting my hair grow out and tying it up in a bun, or having this angle. Honestly, I think I will be alot 'cooler.' Since in the initial medic cosplay test I was sweating my brains out. But, the medic I believe would have her hair up, since he/she is a stiff german douchebag. Can I say that on these journal things?

I was invited to go to Anime Expo, full pass, full hotel...
...no plane ticket.
