Apr. 16th, 2013 10:47 pmA WHOLE YEAR HAS PASSED SINCE MY LAST POST!!!
...and by that I mean that I was then 24, and I am now 25. ...and I'll probably still say I'm 19 when I'm conversationally mentioning my age and not at all thinking about it. (Yes, I've totally blanked and stated a very wrong age before. If not for the fact that I do it unthinkingly, I'd say I was taking after my grandfather, who always jokes that he's 35.)
My birthday was spent in Toronto, and involved free bagels and the Wizard of Oz. The latter was quite good -- I will admit, some of ALW's changes were things I thought the show really could have done without, but overall it was quite enjoyable. I did, however, like that they had Tin Man and Lion complain when Dorothy said she'd miss Scarecrow most of all (even if I do kind of ship Dorothy and Scarecrow/Hunk if I had to ship anyone in that musical). I had mixed feelings over having Lion saying that he was a friend of Dorothy at one point. On the one side, with Lion's characterization, some things could be said about connotations. On the other side, Lion is the character most used for comic relief, so yes. (Did I mention I tend to overthink things?)
On the bright side,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tsukinokage and I have mainly figured out our Anime North costume plans! We're doing Les Mis (Courfeyrac and Combeferre, movie style), and Pokemon hoodies (Squirtle and Pikachu), and then a set of uncoordinated costumes, for which we're both waiting a bit to see what we can easily get the materials for before officially declaring. Heights will be off for Courfetyrac and Combeferre, but a) we're both part-Irish and thus are like "tee hee hee" and b) I already have wigs that will work quite well for both of them, and any time you don't have to go wig-hunting is a plus. So, yes. XD (And hopefully it's a rare enough cosplay that no-one complains that I'm a full foot shorter than Killian. ...oops?)
All in all, this means I can ACTUALLY GET TO WORK, so I'm happy. =D
...and we have backups with things we already own planned, so even if things go belly-up we've got plans. Woohoo!
Wish us luck!
