Kat's adventure log...

Had an awesome time last night at SockHopstuck, even though I felt massively awkward for not wearing an appropriate cosplay and the usual fear of my dress possibly splitting a seam somewhere. That, and I’m also not that fond of dancing anymore since I suck at it and don’t want people thinking I’m lame. The food was amazing & fun (especially enjoyed Jannah’s little hamburger cupcakes and the ones with candy that looked like peas & carrots, and of course Eppy’s deviled eggs), and like at Spring Fling, there was some really great decorations to enjoy ogling…LOL.

Been having issues lately with stupidly feeling jealous of a few friends over personal stuff, and those feelings kind of whirled up again in me last night. That, and who knows what else (felt depressed for whatever reason), lended to me having a sort of emotional gutpunch that hit me hard. I had to sit out of the room for a bit to try and feel better, but it didn’t help much since I still felt weird after I went back in. Kept trying to think positively, and then after looking out the windows a few times & feeling a nice breeze come in, I started to feel better. Then later on the trip home, got to enjoy chatting on the bus with friends that I rarely get to hang out with anymore (wish it hasn’t been like that lately, but I just need to remember it isn’t my fault) and it felt so great… like ‘old times’. *SNIFF*

And I wonder if this event will be just as awesome as Spring Fling was months ago. Still not sure what I’ll be wearing to it, though at least if I can’t come up with something I’ll have my black dress to wear (though not with the slight gothic edge that I had with it for Spring Fling; wearing fishnet is itchy as heck…bluh). But hey, any chance to hang out with fellow Homestuck fans and do fun stuff together is awesome (plus, food & listening to tunes from a DJ? Priceless…).

…where you try to connect actors or actresses together by the movies or shows that they’ve been in, or try to connect shows/movies & characters together the same way? Well, today while I was watching a kids’ movie with my siblings, I made a rather amusing (and epic, at least to me) connection that I’d never thought I’d see =

“The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything: A Veggie Tales Movie” is actually connected to the game Tales of the Abyss… because of an awesome VA… XD

One look at this massively detailed figurine, you might have a fangasm

I certainly did. Makes me wish I had the grist to dish out for one of these.

So, yesterday was May’s GasuKan meetup. It was held at a nice place (Denny Park, which surprisingly was a lot bigger than I thought it was and really cool). However, it was depressing that there was such a tiny amount of people that showed up! I mean, we’re talking like the suck of that one GK that took place years ago at the PLU in the rain (which I didn’t attend for personal reasons). But, regardless of that awkwardness, those who did show up had plenty of fun. Since the theme for this one was gijinka, I debuted my fun gijinka of Optimus Prime (which I hope to improve upon in order to use at a con in the future). Also got to hang out with my friend Aspen (who was so happy to be at GK again, having missed several GKs as well as missed out on SakuraCon; was dressed as a cute Umbreon), saw an awesome cosplay my bud Phil did of Captain Smoker from One Piece, was greeted as I entered the park by the sight of my friend Sunarry wearing part of the cosplay she’s been working on for me (and was taking a nap in it, too…LOL), got to meet a fun girl dressed as Fem!Dave with a MLP t-shirt on and who gave me a cool sketch she made of Karkat, briefly saw my bud Harry getting his butt handed to him in a Yu-Gi-Oh duel with Sunarry’s matesprit (one of a few times that happened, I learned… heh heh…), and plenty of other fun bits. In the evening was dinner at Blue C Sushi, followed by chilling at GameWorks. Had the crazy notion of heading up to AFK Tavern after that, regardless of how late it was (missed the last bus to Seattle; but thankfully got a ride downtown from Phil). It was a bittersweet time, though, because it turns out AFK remodeled their interior - they have more seating areas now, but they PAINTED OVER all of the amazing artwork, doodles, and geek & gamer quotes/memes that adorned the walls of their main dining area for years. I’m especially sad to no longer get to see a pic of Karkat Vantas drooling at Terezi Pyrope wearing a bikini (I know, silly to miss that, but it was the only decent Homestuck art in the place next to a doodle of GT John in the women’s bathroom). Thankfully the bathrooms still have their epic walls of crazy art & text, though (and the girl’s now has “John <3 Dave” doodled on the door in plain sight… wonder if anyone I know did that).
