Hi everyone. I haven't been participating much here in the past few months. I've had many personal and professional struggles in the past 5 months and it was so easy to just push those delete buttons on everything in my Inbox. . .so I'm very sorry if I've seemed distant. I'm vowing to make 2012 much better and one of my unofficial resolutions is to be better about checking and replying to messages! Hopefully you'll be hearing more from me.

Since I posted last, Anime Vegas and Anime LA have passed. I had a great time at AV and an okay time at ALA. I debuted a new costume at each event: Squall Leonhart (SeeD Uniform) from FFVIII for Anime Vegas, and Tomoe Mami from Puella Magi Madoka Magica for ALA. If you're thinking, "Uhh, those two costumes and characters couldn't be any more different if you tried!" then you're thinking along the same lines as me XD. But what can I say? When I love a character and a costume I can't resist making it, and I love Squall and Mami . So I'll be posting pics of the two starting now!

I'd post an events schedule but due to my professional life being in huge upheaval at the moment I don't want to lay down anything I may have to take back later. I'll post something once the dust settles.
