/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

There's this girl in college I have a crush on, I came to learn from social media that she does lolita. Despite both of us taking the same courses we have never spoken to each other, and have no idea how to approah anybody. Only know her name from rolll-call and doubt she knows mine.
She also dresses really nice, cute shirts nearly all the time.

i dont even know.. She just started to say i dont care about her at all and she would find better friends then me. All I know that she has bad suicidal thoughts and is depressed sometimes but those go away with time but now it feels like she said it for real.
And what makes me feel worse is that she has been my friend so fucking long time and i just dont wanna lose her...

>be beginner brolita with a decent wardrobe but no opportunity to wear any of it
>finally got around to making a side fb account so I could join lolita groups and hopefully get to take it a little more seriously
>join an update group, CoF, a sales group, etc
>request to join page for my local comm
>a month later, finally message a mod asking if I've misunderstood/if there's anything I need to do
>she replies saying that they're not accepting new members because they have too many inactive members
>what?
>thank her anyway
>wish I lived in the same city as my few lolita friends so I could attend meets/events with them
>oh well

>order an Innocent World Happy Set
>tracking says it's been delivered to a US address
>I live in Australia

Best case scenario is that IW gave me the wrong tracking number. Worst case scenario is that my Happy Pack which potentially has Grazia Crown inside, is in the hands of someone else.

THIS. I feel like such a dick when I friend someone and then don't communicate with them for 8 months.

>tfw can't find ideal gf because she stays inside 24/7

>Decided to study abroad last year in Japan. Got accepted and spent last summer prepping like nuts.
>Before I left, all my friends promised we'd skype or google chat a lot, since they were gonna miss me, and I was gonna miss them obviously
>I've been here for 8 months now, and I have skyped with one of them once.
>Well whatever, there is a huge frickin time gap between here and home (America-fag here)

So I thought I'd just ignoring the fact that my parents and I, as well as a friend from another group, are able to work around this time gap and skype often, and also ignore the fact that these are people who always stay up until like 4am or just don't sleep.
>decide to stick to facebook messages.

Except when ever I put anything in there, there's never a reply. I usually put things like videos and articles, or I'm like, "guys check this out!" No reply. Then they use the same thread to talk about plans they make back home. I feel like I'm invisible. I know I'm way over here on the other side of the world, but I just wish they'd talk to me. Even if it's just talking about their lives. I didn't even care that much until I found out that one of them broke up with her bf and I felt so awful because I wasn't there for her, but at the same time I felt even more awful because when I asked about it, all I got was "yes" and "it's fine." answers.
>did I mention I'm coming back to the states in 3 months?
>Did I mention I'm going to be living with these people?
I was really excited and I know they're really excited as well, but I'm scared now that there will be this year long time gap that's gonna make it even harder to go back home.

>tl;dr My friends haven't spoken to me much during my time abroad, I'm scared it's gonna make it harder to readjust to life at home.

>Attends a Facebook-organised cosplay gathering.
>Over 500 people there, ~30 photographers with rigs or fancy cameras.
>Wearing a cosplay that took four days' worth of work and is my most complicated construction yet.
>Gets asked for a couple of pictures.
>The next couple days, photo albums start getting posted on the Facebook event page, interspersed with cosplayer comments ("I was ____; if you got any pictures, please send them to me!").
>Compile all the albums into one regularly-updating masterpost so nobody has to play scavenger hunt every time they want to find albums.
>Check all the albums as I link them, of course.
>Not a single picture of me.
>Not sure if this because was too timid to approach more photographers to ask them to take my picture
>or if because really non-photogenic.
>tfw

MFW I moved away for work and want to go to Katsu but so much negativity in the last thread/this one I'm not sure if it's going to be fun.
MFW when no friends here into cosplay or cons who will go with me.

>Really skinny, but nice big boobs. Perfect bodytype for cosplays.
>Really similar body to jnig (but skinnier)
>See all of her fame and success cosplaying
But
>Butt ugly crooked nose, perma eyebags
>Face would ruin any cosplay
>Try to cosplay masked characters but there's not enough variety I like

No new emails.

Yes, but none of them are interested in cosplay. They won't even try coming to conventions with me.

For example, here's a conversation I had with one of my good friends about Katsucon this year:
>"You'll really like it! I promise! They have tons of [insert friend's #1 fandom] stuff!"
>"I don't feel like it. They're crowded and I'll get anxious and depressed."
>"B-but I don't have anyone to go with except you. ;_______;"
>*He changes the subject immediately and starts talking about his artwork*

So I go by myself every time, rent hotel rooms alone, and cry myself to sleep. At least I get to see my long-distance cosplay friends, I guess.

>tfw your roommate ditches you

God. Dammit.

I just tried to get into Momocon's Alley for 2013, and right as registration rolls around at 9pm eastern, their website crashes. Five minutes later, I submit my information as quickly as I can, and wait the extra 5 minutes it takes to even go through.

Faster than it took me to apply, I get a rejection letter.

I'll never break into the AA scene.

>tfw favourite shops are coming out with autumn/winter lines but no dosh
