The Hospital...

EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!!!!

And nothing bad EVER happens!* Right, short films require various locations, and Tabby directed this weekend, I just had to yell and look guilty and scared. Simple enough.

I cannot really talk much about the events of this weekend, they are Tabby's to share, but I will say, I had a tonne of fun and am excited to see the end product!

So today I am back at Uni, just had a pretty good seminar on textual interventions where a new friend and I wrote a horror script based on a concept we came up with about a love totem... Kinda freaked out the class but the concept was AWESOME and now I want to film it. Tabby, you might have started something...

Side note: How To Cake It on Youtube is amazingly interesting and are complete goals. SO many ideas! So little Talent!



*Casual RWBY Chibi reference, Yasss Nora, Bodyroll Ren!


Anyway, I'm tired, so I am going to have a nap.

Chibi Pyrrha is me when asking for food from my boyfriend...

Casual random thoughts.

Catchya Later! xox

AVCon 2016 (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

My fourth AVCon! It was a week ago, sure...but I've been sleeping nonstop, seriously I slept an entire week away consuming hot chocolate and watching Parle Productions on YouTube.

Friday
I finished my Saturday cosplay and painted my face with red eyeshadow and lipstick for Circus au Marinette. My school friends and I were supposed to meet at 4, and another at 3 but I was the only one to show up on time. They didn't contact me so I hung out with Tobias, Kim, Amy, Cassie and Taz and had way more fun. We sung 80s and disney songs, down Rundle mall and got doughnuts from Crispy Creams!
 















Saturday 
I covered myself fake blood and met up with Cassie at the bus stop, where we got an uber. She borrowed my wig for her gorgeous NoFlutter Steampunk Ivy. We went to the maid cafe where Anastasia and Nikki were working and had hotdogs and cheesecake.  Then we raided the Artists Alley where I spent most of my money. Cassie wanted to go to the Good Game Unplugged and after we met up with Kim and Amy.
We then went to Amy, Kira and Kims hotel so they could change into Marauders for AVCon after dark - complete with dancing and vodka. Eventually we dragged ourselves to the pancake kitchen for dinner at 1am. 
Since the buses stupidly stop at midnight (damn you adelaide metro!) Cassie and I were planning on getting a uber but someone decided not to come to AVCon last minute and so Kim, Kira and Amy had a spare bed.



Sunday
Cassie and I dragged our butts out of bed and went home to get our cosplays and come back. But my family was looking after a dog who ate my Kiki bow so I put on Ai Shindou. On the bus Cassie was painting on her veins for Silent Hill Nurse Sailor Mercury. I'd left my camera at the hotel room and Cassie needed to finish her makeup so we picked up redbull and chocolate on the way there. Kim met us there while Amy was volunteering and saw my cosplay predicament and let me wear her hufflepuff cloak, shirt and pink wig so I was Tonks.
At the con we met up with a few others and took photos. Kira and I snuck away to the Artists Alley so I could get a commission (which wasn't finished so it'll be sent to me). 
I bought $10 worth of those sweet and sour candy licorice sweets and shared it with everyone while Lucas took photos of Kim and Amy. 
After the closing ceremony we hung out at maccas.
















This AVCon was amazing and I miss it so much...There are so many things that happened that I cannot possible write down. Long after I've forgotten the words, I'll remember how everyone made me feel.




Catch you later xx

AVCon 2016

AVCon 2016

So I attended my first ever convention, and yes, it was quite a few days ago now, and no, I am no good at keeping up with updates...

ANYWAY, lets talk about my time at AVCon 2016!


Friday

Had a very nice sleep in actually. I wasn't registered to set up AVCon with the other volunteers so I didn't turn up to the convention centre till around midday and when I got there? MAYHEM! The con had not even begun and the showbags were having problems. I threw on my volunteer shirt and spent the next 3 hours helping to fix things. 
Oh well, at least I got to watch the opening ceremony right in front of the stage with new friends. Watch Tabby's AVCon vlog on youtube to watch the dance/fight scene during the tragically short ceremony. As well as everything else that happened that night. An interview with WOLFSTAR is soon to come.


Saturday

WOKE UP LATE! Had to do my eyebrows on the bus, My hair was sticking up so I threw a wig on it, grabbed my labcoat and ran out the door. I was almost late to my first volunteer shift which consisted of... Babysitting. Although technically I was babysitting a room, not the children because their parents were not allowed to leave without them.
CUT FORWARD to me walking down artists alley in the four hours I had left till I had to leave for a birthday dinner and this was the result:



That is my face, yes.
SKINNY MISTER you made me look so cute! (Find him on facebook) I feel kinda bad for wearing a black shirt though, his pen was running out a bit... BUT he was dressed as Tem from UNDERTALE, so awesome!. After that I went to the birthday dinner, slept through most of it and worked on my cosplay untill there were only the finishing touches left.


SUNDAY:

COSPLAY DAYYYYYY!
Started the day late for my shift, whoops I stayed up too late and overslept once again, then I missed my bus so I was half an hour late for a shift I got pulled out of anyway. This turned out to be a blessing because I was thrown into the group that helps out when more people are needed... Then I got to be Pikachu!

That is me, beside a random poketrainer. Seriously though the first thing that happened was a poke ball to the face. Then it was all trying not to walk into small children, dancing around, having people throw their arms around me and eventually, photos were taken. I am scouring the internet to find said photos because I couldn't get ANY!

After leaning down to small children and vehemently saying NUUUU to being captured, I finished my shift and went to go quickly finish my cosplay with the help of a friend in a nearby sandwich shop... 
 Lets finish this con off with a Yang! ;) 



Boom, nuff said.I think I look pretty good, and I am proud of what I managed to accomplish with a certain amount of help in making patterns, gauntlets and the finishing touches. There are some things I would tweak but overall? Solid attempt in my opinion.

Night Guys! xox

Where is my brain?

Writer's Block got me like WHHAAAATTTT?

Seriously, I have no idea what to write about these days and I could try blaming Netflix (House is addictive! season 6 currently). It is Wednesday today and yesterday I visited our state's Maritime Museum. I got to play around on an actual ship; running around with my boyfriend and his brother, climbing into the tiny area where the cook sleeps. Funnily enough only myself and a couple small children also in the museum could fit, and only one at a time.

BOOM! Idea: Maritime art!





Pretty sweet huh? Who's idea was it to paint awesome pictures of ships on the ocean? Genius.

NIGHT! xox
