>make cosplay plans with her, pretty excited about them
>realize our lifestyles at cons are completely different
>realize that she's going to want to hang out with me the whole time
>working for a company there and will likely even have to do a lot of after hours things
>suddenly feeling really terrible about inviting her
>also had a sudden realization I don't really want to be actively flirting with anyone right now
>friends are pressuring me into asking her out.

I keep telling her that I'm going to be busy, but she seems really into it and I don't know how to tell her that it'll probably be a big disappointment if she's relying on me for entertainment, especially since she doesn't have a badge.

>sold or gave away most of my lolita a while ago to help pay for moving
>immediate regret, some of my dream pieces were in there.
>One I never see for sale second hand.
>oh well I won't get back into it!
>Start seeing dresses I really like.
>Start seeing them for prices I used to be able to afford
>Job is practically nonexistent, but I'll get another good one!
>Sees the SO and lolita thread

>place I've moved to has absolutely no alt scene, not even some god damn punks

>Realize all the weebs would probably maul me.
>sighs
>maybe I shouldn't even try again.

>haven't sewn in over a year, definitely out of practice
>decide to make something for Halloween this year
>sewing part goes alright, it's not as good as I wanted, but I figured if I wanted to wear it for a con, I'd remake it anyways and take my time.
>get to the dyeing part
>swatches look great on everything
>take the plunge, each thing separately turns out the completely wrong color, completely different than swatches.
>one was definitely my fault because I burned my hand and dropped it back in the tea dye, but still stumped on the other two.
>was going to wear it to classes on Monday
>suddenly regretting leaving a good portion of my cosplays at my dad's house in a different city.
>probably going to just wear it to the party my roommate's are throwing and then in the trash it goes.

>Got one of the feels threads deleted
>Despite it having the fact that I started working on a cosplay to match the feels right in the post
>Janitor, I just wanted to match the cutie boy who was interested in cosplay

S-Sorry anons.

I think my least favorite part of this group isn't even how off sync they are. I can handle off sync as long as they look like they're not being held at gunpoint to do the dance.

>going to AX
>roommate decides she can't pay rent anymore, doesn't discuss financial problems with me, tells me over text we have to move out by the 1st
>Apartment was downtown so I didn't book a hotel
>greaaaat
>realize my friends either aren't going to AX or are pretty busy
>could go with coworker, but he's 2cool4me
>tempted just to pack up and move near the school I transferred to and skip AX despite my new costume I'm really excited about.

>Spend about four hours working on a tail for a cosplay, not even close to finishing.
>Not how most cosplayers of this character do it (but I also don't like their method)
>Suddenly very unsure about the method I'm using
>Feeling pressure just to conform to everyone else's method.

This happens every god damn time. It's a gijinka cosplay and my whole idea is different than the normal sexy versions people do of him, so I shouldn't feel so pressured to conform, but I can't quite help it.

I'll probably post to the progress thread once I get a bit further to get opinions. It'll probably take another three or four hours of work for others to get a better idea of it, though.

I was having a rough time at a con one time because someone implied that my online friend had died (she had medical problems) and I didn't want to wear this gross ass cosplay someone made for me. When I expressed that, someone in my room insisted that we should say that we spilled coffee on it. I brought up they'd want to see it and try to fix it and she said that she would actually spill coffee on it. I took the blame for it and was hated for a year. Finally come clean about it after things had been sorta patched up and they don't really seem to believe me. Still hate me and think she's gods gift to the world, even after another friend and I found out she was being a backstabbing bitch and I had vented to them about that.

Jesus fucking christ I get annoyed that you post this every chance you get.

It's okay, anon! I do the short hair, generally masculine clothes thing too and tend to have guys get crushes on me. I only started really looking feminine in normalfag clothes recently-- before it was only in jfashion which I really only wore to meets.

>mfw no girls ever like me though

Gingers and redheads. I only noticed the pattern recently, but it's getting a little out of control.

Amy Pond, Severa, Envy Adams, Gou Matsuoka, Sansa Stark, Petra Ral, Ellie, Gnar, and then I was toying with the idea of cosplaying Jinx when I lost enough weight, but everyone keeps insisting I should do mafia Jinx, who is ginger.

I-I'm trying to break the habit, guys.

Another anon. I usually go to the gym 3-4 times a week for two hours as well. An hour on cardio, hour on strength training. I never intend to be there that long, but I end up doing it anyways. I used to do three hours since I would do an hour of cardio on the machines, an hour with weight training, then jump in the pool for more cardio. My trainer said that it was fine, as long as my body was handling it well, which it is.

On an unrelated note, my feels was about fitness.

>Go to a con.
>Eat like crap because all my friends didn't want to go to the one healthier option.
>Get pretty drunk and already being a clumsy person + alcohol didn't mix.
>Huge ass bruises all over my legs.
>Can barely walk.
>Crying because I feel like a sack of shit for not going to the gym for the past four or five days and was going to make up for it today.
>god fucking damn it.

At least I don't work until three tomorrow. I'll just give my body another day to heal since it already feels a million times better than yesterday. Had to leave the con early because I just couldn't walk around.

I was doing pretty much what >>7720715 said, but my mother's got a lot of issues that aren't /cgl/ related so I wouldn't post them, so as they said once more, yes-- I am one of those people who don't like spending a lot of time with their mothers. I wouldn't say our relationship is 'tight' at all. Pretty much the only time we get along is at cons, which is probably why she asks me to check in so often.
