Hmm... Well, crap. Guess I'll have to conform and say a few words. Uh... Yo. My name's Cat. I'm a little nuts sometimes. Yeah, nothing new to a con-goer. Little bit of a pairing-tard. ...Just on Hughes/Roy, though. You don't like it; that's fine. I don't shove things down your throat. and uh... I draw and write a lot. If you've taken the time to read all this, check my dA out. But it might kill your brain. I have fangirls. They scare me sometimes. I might scare YOU sometimes. You never know. Life surprises you like that. Aunt found a roach in her Big Mack recently... I like to think I'm a good person, though *hair flip* and the friends agree, so hell, why not? I also REALLY hate holes.... Trypophobia. Look it up.

What got you into cosplay?
Seeing pretty pictures on the net and saying "OOOh, I wanna do that." Like a lot of people, I felt like it'd be a privilege to portray my favorite characters and be a crackhead otaku with other crackhead otaku. The short answer is, as with everyone, "for fun"!"
What was your first costume and why?
Actually a hard question to answer. Kairi (Kingdom Hearts I) was my first attempt, but that kind of fizzled out. My first "half-ass but complete" costume was Harry Potter in the 7th grade using black hairspray, official glasses, eyebrow pencil for the scar, a stick, and a graduation gown. My first that I sort-of went with was Kamina (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann). About the only non-suck thing about that one was the fact that I did it as a GIRL. The first costume I sweat and bled, sewed, and unsuckified myself for? Edward and Alphonse in their Shamballa garb. Quite fun. :3
What is your favorite costume and why?
Roy. Because he's mostly done, aside from my inability to put in contacts. I have a lot of fun with him (even if I can't be REMOTELY in-character...) and the costume is very cozy. I also went through hell to make TWO military uniforms on time. I went all-out, even had custom dogtags and a bright LED in my glove for "flames". It's just a hard costume not to love. I sweat and bled for it (and its matching Hughes), and the result came out satisfactory. :3
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Armor Alphonse! :3
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
The most memorable experiences are, honestly, the ones I need to forget the most. There are too many. But the one I will NEVER forget was at PortCon Maine 08. I was walking down to Subway with Bec and Matt (both cosplaying Hughes - I was Roy). One of our friends ran up and told us about this really religious lady that told her to accept Jesus into her heart. ...The two Hugheses looked at each other, grinned, and TORE OFF. JEEZ THOSE TWO CAN RUN. O__O I ran after them thinking "Omg this is NOT happening...." They found the religious lady and ATTACKED her. xDD;. The lady was like "Are you ready to accept Jesus into your heart?" and they're like (in unison) "WE HAVE SOMEONE BETTER THAN JESUS!" and whipped out photos. But they went on for (I'm not kidding) roughly ten or so minutes about Elysia. The lady was like "O___O;;" It was something. I finally dragged Matt off. I then grabbed his hand and yelled over "BY THE WAY, WE'RE GAY!" (haha, yaoi...) ...Bec tells me she gave the lady a hug and the lady said "God bless you. PLEASE LET HIM." Many stories, but that one wins.
Do you participate in masquerades?
You bet!
What was your best masquerade experience?
Oh geez... PortCon wins again. Not the actual experience as much as before and right after. Waiting in line was surprisingly fun, despite my binding KILLING ME. I broke my automail and an AMAZING Vash and Din were all over the place, helping me. Afterwards, I was starving, and the amazing Vash gave me a donut. He saved my life. I also kept kissing a Ryuk's hand. </random>
Tell us a little about yourself
I hate these things... xD Um... I have a friggin' TON of free time. I'm older than I act, but still JB. I love to draw. I love giving gifts and helping people out, so don't be shy. *cricket* I am impossible to freak out. Try. I'm also nuts. I'm a pairing-tard (especially for HughesRoy), but I appreciate the actual series and plot more than the fanships. I have no life. I have the most awesome family in the world. I scare people. But I'm a nice person. And I like filling out random one-sentence facts in a monotone. Cliche.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I make one HELL of an Internet stalker. Also, I like to elaborate on things. Which is why all these are so long. Got something to say about everything.
