I slept for 12 hours today, breaking the horrible cycle of insomnia I was suffering through! Yay! I feel groggy, but not so exhausted like I was yesterday. I could barely bring myself to tap the square button repeatedly to boost my GF attacks last night.
So yeah, I finished Final Fantasy 8 for the second time last night, cementing my thoughts that it is a really badly designed game with lots of gimmicky functionality and a leveling system that basically makes any level higher than the lowest level possible pointless to obtain. I wonder what it would have been like to fight a level 10 final boss.
Anyway, that's not my main point. I finished the concept art for my Zell costume this morning, which was my reasoning for playing the game again. It looks like I won't actually need that many yards of fabric since I can just buy a pair of knee length boy shorts and probably a charcoal tank top and then just make the jacket. I might try and make the tank top as well just because it has some patterns inlaid into it in the game, I think to accentuate that Zell has abs or whatever, but I don't so I may just skip it. I'll probably go to the fabric store today and rummage around to see what I can find. I've also figured out what I need for my husband's Spike costume, so I'll pick that fabric up as well.
You may ask yourself, "Why is she making random video game/anime character costumes? She's a bigger weirdo than I thought she was!" Well, I'm planning them now so I don't have to scramble come May. "But what happens in May?" you ask? Anime Central! And it's only like two hours away from Chambana! How could I NOT go??! I'm really excited about dressing up since 1) last time I didn't and 2) last time I was also about 15 pounds heavier than I am now and would have looked really awful in most costumes. I don't want to be one of the people that ends up online as a horrible train wreck where you just...can't...look...away. It would suck if someone had reason to refer to me as "the fat Zell that was hanging around the yaoi stand" instead of "the mildly attractive Zell that was hanging around the yaoi stand" so I won't let that happen. And there are so many super fat people who dress up as really skinny characters. I mean, seriously, if you are a fat girl, don't dress up as Yuna! Dress up as Lulu! People will appreciate your giant tits in a Lulu costume, but they won't enjoy all your skin showing as Yuna...
But I digress. Anyway, let me reiterate how excited I am about the costumes as well as actually sleeping again! It has been a good day.

I can't wait to take pictures of fat Faye Valentines. There will be so many, and all will want to pose with your Spike husband.
Also, keep in mind that there was a MALE, HAIRY Faye Valentine last time I was there. That would be a fabulous picture.
