Convention schedule and cosplay plans for 2011 ♪♫ ♪

Hello again everyone (^o^)
Back so soon, I know!
LOL Random, huh? That's just for funsies.

Well this year is going to be the year of cosplay for me! I am really going to work hard on starting and finishing projects so I can be loud and proud
at my local conventions ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ!
My 2011 convention schedule is as follows:
  • All-con - March 18-20th, 2011 in Addison, Texas at the Crowne Plaza North Dallas
  • A-Kon - June 10-12, 2011 in Dallas, Texas at the Sheraton Hotel Dallas
  • AnimeFest - September 2-5, 2011 in Dallas, Texas at the Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion Tower
This is my line up currently, but it is subject to change! I may add some cons later in the year, but I shouldn't be missing any of these.

Here's where things get tricky...

Cosplay plans 2011:

Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim
Day of the Dead outfit in Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe

Feferi Peixes from MS Paint Adventures: Homestuck
A Troll from Homestuck
...next up!
Medusa Gorgon: Soul Eater
Medusa's standard witch attire from the series
...and finally!
Katara: Avatar the Last Airbender
Hosted by imgur.com
Fire Nation disguise in Season 3, Book 3: Fire
...and that about wraps it up!
I'm so...
HAPPY(*・▽・)/\(・▽・*)HAPPY

This is a good outline for what is to come for me this year. I may add things, but like my convention schedule I shouldn't not get any of these done. I am hopeful and excited!

I have a few things I am interested in/side projects that I will mention briefly~
  • Young Genkai from Yuyu Hakusho
  • Ukyo from Ranma 1/2
  • Saeko from High School of the Dead
  • Urd from Ah! Megami-sama
  • Sango from Inuyasha
These are NOT guaranteed to get done at all, but if I have time I would like to possibly do one or two!
Feedback would be great!
Until next time.
あなたはどうもありがとう!

Hello everyone!

\(^▽^*)いらっしゃ~いっ(*^▽^)/

Hello, my name is Camille and I am dark skinned with a variety of interests. Why do I specify what color I am first off? Well I like being upfront about who I am and I think the color of my skin comes a long with that. I have hit upon an interesting time in my life, 'emerging adulthood' as developmental psychologist would call it and I thought it would be interesting to have a blog about things I am interested in during this crucial time.

Here's to the year 2011, I don't have any resolutions, but I do have a few goals I'd like to succeed for the next few months and the year. I am not going to get too personal though, this blog is just going to scratch the surface of my life, specifically my hobbies and things that I am interested in.

Moving on to the important stuff...

I dabble in a few different interests, but here I will talk about my nerdiness! I love to watch anime and various cartoons, I have a slight interest in video games (I am no super gamer though) and read comics as well. To further that interest, I am into something called cosplay which I am sure many people are familiar with. Cosplay or costume play is my way of showing my love for my animated/digital hobby by dressing up as characters I like. I also have an extreme interest in Japanese culture whether it be media (anime, various television shows), fashion, traditions and food. One of my goals to reach before the age of 25 is to go to Japan (and a few other Asian countries--China, Korea, Taiwan and more) and stay for an extended period of time to learn more about the country and the language. Although this interest has nothing to do with my degree (Psychology/Public Health) I will make it happen.

Thank you so much for listening to my little spheal, I hope you are left wanting to read more :D
あなたはどうもありがとう!
