Steampunk and the Academy Awards

The two things aren't quite related, but at the same time they absolutely, one hundred percent are. Because tonight I'm spending my time at Candice's place, relaxed and sprawled out on her couch, playing some Warcraft and watching the Academy Awards. Before, we were working on things for All Con since we only have maybe two and a half weeks to get it all together and get out there. But the truth is, I think it's going to be plenty of time and I can't wait to get there. I just really can't wait. It's so nice to be able to go to a convetnion with a good friend, sit back and just enjoy it, costumes and all.

This time, I'll have three outfits, one of which is a quick, last minute one that wouldn't have happened without my mother's keen eye when we were out shopping and Candice's mother willing to ruch something for me. It really wouldn't work out that easily, but I'm finding out that I have some really great friends in my life that have no trouble helping me out and working with me on these kinds of things. It's going to be a great, fantastic weekend, and I can't wait to get up there and see everyone again.

I'm also, for the first time, entering the All Con AMV contest. Working with anime and video game footage felt like touching back on something that was a beautiful part of my past. It was somewhere for me to start and enjoy actually doing something that I never had thought was possible before. I remember when I was younger that I would write out song lyrics and beside them, in another shade of ink, write out what I wanted to see happen during those lyrics. It was a beginning, I just didn't even know it yet.

But it's a good night. It's a very good night.
