Wow, you guys are all so nice! It is really cool. Thank you. I feel a lot less scared now...even if I do not get to work at the convention, I think I am at least now not too scared to roam the convention by myself; I have a feeling that I will meet some nice people on the way, so I will not have to really be alone. Thanks, you guys.
tofutakeout, kudos to you for quoting the Abridged Series! That is one of my favorite quotes ever, and I actually made it my personal message on MSN, like, an hour ago. I love Bakura in the Abridged Series.
I think it would be amazing if somehow a Yu-Gi-Oh group could be set up. At the convention, or even beforehand, a big group of Yu-Gi-Oh cosplayers get together to take pictures...that would be so cool. It is one of my dreams.
I finished my Millenium Ring today! ...Kind of. I forgot to put a loop at the top for the string/chain to go through, so I will just be wrapping a string around the ring, instead. I will also be ordering my wig soon, too, even though I have no idea what I will be doing to it to style it. Maybe I will end up massacring it. We will see, I suppose. I am also tempted to wear a pair of blue plaid pajama pants to the convention...not because they look like Ryou would wear them, but just because...I like them, and I am not really sure as to what kind of pants I would like to wear for my costume. I am fairly sure that I will not be wearing them, but...it would be nice.
Some of my favorite cards are the Silent Magician, Celtic Guardian, Dark Magician, and Magician of Black Chaos (I have a "thing" for magicians, I guess). It would be awesome to make costumes of each, but, of course, I should really just concentrate on the one I am working on now. I have a round head, for some horrible genetic reason, so I have a feeling that my Ryou costume is going to epically fail.
Also, I was just going through my cards, and both the Enemy Controller and Black Magic Ritual, and maybe even Swords of Revealing Light, look like they could be possible awesome props! The Enemy Controller is pretty cool, I have to admit.
I, too, plan on hugging many, many people. Hopefully.
