Nails redone, hair washed and dried (believe me, that's a chore in itself), new bag mostly packed. Now to finish packing, get everything (other than morning essentials) put out in the car, as I likely won't be back to the house after I leave at 9am. Gotta get my power steering pump replaced...again...because the one they put in is defective. Then errands to run, and then to my friend's house, where I will throw all this stuff into her car, and we'll run away for the weekend!
We're headed to Anime Midwest, an anime convention in Rosemont, IL. Going to be an awesome weekend...I'll be ACTUALLY COSPLAYING this time!! I have my goth!Elsa costume completed (FINALLY! Seriously, painting a specific snowflake onto sheer fabric...not easy), and I have a pair of shredded jeans that will work well for my Ramona cosplay :)
I don't actually watch anime...no interest in it..but my friends Dan and Jill Coglan, better known as Samurai Dan and Jillian, perform and run panels at anime cons all over the country..so, when I get the chance to, I go and enjoy their mix of history, fun facts, and incredibly dirty-minded humor. I practically know their shows and panels by heart, but they're always adding random stuff, and I always have a blast.
But, this isn't just any weekend. Friday, July 4th, just so happens to be a very special day...the day I was born! That's right, it's my birthday, and I'm gonna party like it ;) Getting to be out of Iowa for my birthday is a rare treat, something I haven't done since...well, since I turned 21, and spent the weekend out in Anaheim, catching up with old friends and visiting old stomping grounds. For my 26th birthday (my gods..I can't believe I'm that old), I plan on laughing my butt off and maybe going out with friends while I'm at con..we'll have to see on that, since I don't know what everyone's schedule is yet. But, either way, I am determined to have an awesome birthday, and an awesome weekend :D
