Tagged by: :iconirockyoursocks666:, :iconhanakimigrl: and I think one or two other people (comment if you tagged me in these and I didn’t include your name!)

1. Given the choice between a good movie and a terrible cheesy movie I would choose the latter.
2. I love the rain, the snow and stormy/gloomy/windy days.
3. I’m an English major in University. I’m pretty close to getting my BA
4. I played hockey for many years. I also played ringette, volleyball, soccer, football, badminton, track and field and baseball. I may be missing a sport or two… XD
5. I work at Starbucks part-time. I do it for the free coffee… and flexible hours XD
6. Lelola.net is the website responsible for my interest in anime and introduction to cosplay. It was run by :iconpanatthedisco: … so I guess she’s the one who inadvertently got me into cosplay!
7. I was a camp counselor and for my cabin’s team song I re-wrote Gaston’s song with them. We won.
8. While camping with :iconvandorwolf: :iconkran-it:, :iconphantomthief: and :iconuserandtheused: I fought a bear. But it wasn’t so much fighting as it was scaring off with stick waving and yelling. And it wasn’t so much as bear as it was a coyote. Okay fine it was probably a raccoon. But fact is, I won.
9. I haven’t lived at home since I was 18.
10. I hated pasta and eggs until about a year and a half ago. Now I love them.

~Cosplay Meme~

- Who did you first cosplay as?
The first cosplay I did that I knew was cosplay was genin Naruto

- When and where did you first cosplay?
Anime Evolution 2007.

-Who have you cosplayed as in the past?
The list is nearly 100 at the moment XD I have a list of most of them beside my journal… not gonna spam that here. It’s quality, not quantity! And I’m certainly lacking in the “quality” area.

- Who is your favorite person to cosplay as?
Sora. It was so much fun to just BE in that costume. I also enjoy cosplaying anyone from Sailor Moon and Final Fantasy. Link was also a blast. Let’s pretend that it was “person(s)” not “person” XD

- Who do you REALLY wanna cosplay as?
Peter Pan (one that has been in the works for years, I’m indecisive on when I want to do this costume)

- How many of your friends cosplay?
Pfftttttt probably 75% of them XD

- Have you ever walked around in public in your cosplay outfit?
FFX cosplay, on a Saturday, midday, at the busiest mall in BC. And Disneyland in KH cosplay XD

- Have people in public ever recognized you and asked for photos?
Many times. It was best in Disneyland when the ride-operators at the Indiana Jones ride recognized us as Sora, Roxas, Riku and Axel and got excited.

- What was your favorite cosplay experience?
Disneyland as Roxas. Religious experience.

- What is your worst cosplay experience?
Anime Evolution as Kuja and Snow because of chest injuries.

- When and where did you first learn of cosplay?
Learn to cosplay? Well I started cosplaying in 2007… “learning” when it comes to cosplay is an ongoing thing imo.

- What did you think of it then?
I thought it was awesome to finally get to hang out with people who shared an interest in anime with me. And dressing up as characters struck me as fascinating.

- What do you think of it now?
It’s certainly been a major stepping stone in my life. When I look back on myself before I started cosplaying I can clearly see how much confidence it’s given me and how much it’s changed my perspective (indirectly and directly) on people and life. It’s become a little less important to me now, but it’s still a great pastime : )

- Where do you usually cosplay?
Cons or meetups

- Have you ever done a cosplay skit on stage?
Once. I don’t really like participating in masquerades at cons. They take up a hefty amount of con time that I could be spending hanging out with friends that I don’t see often… and that’s more or less why I go to cons in the first place XD

- Have you ever won a prize for said skit?
Yeah, we won “Best in Show” at Kei Kon 2008.

- Do you plan your cosplay outfits waaay before you're meant to wear them?
Sometimes. It really depends. We usually have one costume planned for a con long before a con, and some costumes we decide to do a week or two before the con.

- Have you ever been to a convention and cosplayed?
3-4 times a year XD

- Ever have something terrible happen to your outfit?
I’ve had outfits fall apart on me and I’ve had a lot of injuries due to  bad costume construction.

- What is the best thing about cosplay?
The challenge in emulating a character. Making new friends and the fun times with friends that I have in cosplay as well.

- What is the worst thing about cosplay?
Cost and drama.

- Why do you cosplay?
For fun and bro times. Nuff said.

- What is your favorite part about cosplaying?
Meeting new people and making something that presents a personal challenge. I like to look back on my old costumes and see how much I’ve personally improved over time.

- How long have you been cosplaying?
4 years

- How long will you continue cosplaying?
Until I meet the Old Spice Man and my costumes become diamonds ← my RSP

Disneyland as Roxas. Religious experience."
"If you can have a monk in Disneyland, you can have Kingdom Hearts!"
"A monk?"
"Yeah, see?"
"Ok that's real cool."
"That's religious!"
"This is a religious experience we're having!"
