So I got a scathing call from the Chief Editor saying I had to do an introductory post or else my funding would be cut. I hope you're all happy now...
I've decided to make my very first totally homemade cosplay! This summer, Rydia will be making a grand appearance at Connecticon 2013. There have been a few incarnations of her art and appearance; I am using this one:
Who: Rydia from Final Fantasy IV
What: Connecticon 2013
Where: Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT
When: July 12-14, 2013
How: Absolutely no idea! I will be figuring things out as I go along, and will share my successes and miserable failures along the way. Sewing is not my strong point, nor have I dabbled in working with resin or beads before. Thank god for smart people that post video tutorials...
Why: I love to make things and try new mediums. Arts, crafts, and writing are all passions of mine. Sadly, it has been a long time since my last serious creative effort. I see this ambitious goal as a way to revitalize my creative side. What better way to tap into all of these things than to write about my endeavor as it unfolds?
On a separate note, Rydia is one skinny girl. This undertaking is not only a chance to flex some creative muscle, but also a fabulous excuse to stick with that pesky New Year's resolution. My modest goal is to build muscle tone and lose a couple pounds over the next six months.
A blogger's first post typically describes why he or she was moved to create one in the first place, followed by all sorts of long-winded sentences that give a sneak preview of what future posts will be like.
While it may be inspirational for you to write, it isn't for the rest of us who have to read your sentimental crap.
So, let's pretend we got past that phase and are already into the good stuff. Oh, and by the way, pants are totally optional.
Editors' Note: After refusing to follow socially accepted norms of initial posts, and then unable to decide on a clever and witty way to start this blog, Elathera was determined to do an anti-norm grand entrance. We tried to dissuade her from this approach to no avail. Regardless, it is our professional opinion that the concept was both cliche and executed feebly.
Elathera's Response to Editors' Note: You spelled cliché wrong, asshats.
Editors' Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Note: We apologize for the oversight. Our computer's spell check did not pick that up. Also, "asshats" is not a word.
Elathera's Response to Editors' Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Note: Spell check? Are you f*cking kidding me? Oh and by the way, it is most definitely in the dictionary! Perhaps you should look it up some time.
Editors' Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Note: Sometime is one word. Please revise.
Elathera's Response to Editors' Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Note: Aren't both ways correct? Nevermind, it doesn't matter. You're just trying to do your job. I think your company must be overstaffed with incompetent people. Why else is there more than one editor responsible for reading my blog posts? Can anyone there actually spell cliché correctly?
Chief Editor's Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Response to Elathera's Response to Editors' Note: I hate you all.
