Dearest You,

I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.” -Anne Frank

Lately I have been thinking about my love and obsession with diaries.  My obsession with keeping a diary dates as far back as I can remember.  The earliest diary I recall was one I made at about age 3 or 4.  That first diary was a collection of poorly-cut fourths of lined paper which I had stolen from my sister’s kindergarten set and bound together with three staples and blue electric tape.  With my limited spelling ability, I filled each page of that first diary with a secret— beginning with wanting to know “what I feel [sic] like in that [baby] picture becos [sic] today I feel good and alive.”  I have kept written ledgers of my life, thoughts, and ideas ever since.

In so many ways, I find it important to write.  I think it is imperative to record your own history.  I think it is necessary to unapologetically to tell your own story.  I think it is wise to refute what could later be miswritten about you.  I think it’s important to let out everything you may be afraid to say out loud.  Most of all, I think it’s vital to leave an imprint, however big or small, of what your mind came to terms with on a particular moment.

                                                                  

Today I am working a few projects. I have high hopes and expectations for this week.  I am as scared about the future and I am excited to experience it. Today I feel good and so alive.

          Very truly yours,

Blizzcon 2011 Cosplay: ‘Burlesque’ Blood Elf
The Blood Elf Mage ‘Burlesque’ Variation was made for the BlizzCon 2011 Aspects of Awesome Burlesque group.  As I mentioned in my prior post, this Cosplay was ‘recycled’ from previously used cosplay pieces in order to join the great group of girls that put together the Aspects of Awesome.  It’s definitely not my favorite Cosplay ever because it is only loosely based on game art, but I did have a lot of fun with it. I just realized that I never posted any official follow-up on my Cosplay posts for the finalized version of this Cosplay (and several others), so here it is. Enjoy!

                                                                   February Edition

I love winter in California for so many reasons, the highest ranking being the winter color palette of ivory/blush/nude/silver/mint, my birthday, Valentine’s Day hearts, and the perfect spring weather. So, I’ve done it again; I collected an internet list of one million (or maybe 12-20) things I wanted to buy, only to purchase most of them before the the compilation was over. Why? Because this time I really, really, really had to have these!

Check. Check. Check.
