I got it anons. I got a room that's super close to the hotel and actually cheaper than the one my friend had originally booked (by a whole ten dollars, woo!)

Hopefully I just don't get murdered. I guess that was equally as likely with staying with my friend since he was getting randos anyways.

>Be me, move a long time ago since I graduated from a CC in the winter and was going to try and gain residency in another state for transferring schools
>Don't bring sewing machine yet
>Stay there for seven months, kinda start going stir crazy because for 5/7 months I didn't really have friends.
>All I want to do is fucking sew.
>End up deciding to go to another school, move again.
>Bring sewing machine, super excited to sew again!
>Moved to tiny college town
>I'll be super hire-able because I have tons of experience with basic jobs! (My job didn't transfer since they don't have a location anywhere nearby)
>Moved there late in the summer so everywhere seems to be done hiring in the few jobs that are around
>Three weeks in, still can't find a job.
>At this point, can't even find places that are hiring at all.
>Staring at sewing machine in the corner, just wanting to cry a little bit.
>mfw at this point I'll take janitorial work so I can have some spending money

Life just doesn't want me to cosplay anymore.

>find out through the dance group thread AR has a LL dance cover contest
>moving an hour away from Vancouver
>really want to do an A-RISE group
>really don't like showing my power level so I'll probably never find two others to join me and take the dances seriously.

I just like anime, dancing, and performing, man.

>Going to a costumed ball for my birthday
>At home visiting family at the moment and to grab whatever costume I want to wear
>Can't fucking decide
>Go for less cool since I'll be moving to a different state shortly after my birthday and it's smaller and easier to pack
>Go for bigger one to seem cooler but have to deal with packing a giant ass ballgown and shipping it back to my parents

I-I just want to have a fun birthday, but I can only stress about moving.

>9 more days
>realize I'm moving in a few days
>haven't ordered my socks for a cosplay
>pls come before I move

>mfw don't even identify as asexual but when people find out I haven't had sex for five years because I'm simply not overly interested in it, I get nonstop shit for it.

Th-thanks guys.

>Cosplayer, lolita, or both?
Both! I started in cosplay first, but discovered lolita probably a year later.

>How did you find out about /cgl/?
At first it was when I was looking up stuff about lolita. I didn't understand how the website worked at all and didn't even really lurk until a year or two after that. I think I was looking for cosplay forums when I found it again.

>Why are you on /cgl/?
I've been off and on for a while. Not gonna lie, I used to love the PT threads. Now I lurk more because I love seeing the talent here.

>also because I like posting in the feels threads because I have no friends to talk about my problems with

I wouldn't even mind the not embroidered version. I'm stalking Lacemarket, though! I've seen a few people in the beginning complain about not liking how it looked on them, but I didn't fall in love with it until I saw it coordinated, which was pretty late in the game.

>Had parts of this cosplay for four years.
>Always intended on doing it, had most of it done already.
>Had only lost hope because I couldn't find literally any fabric I liked.
>Decide "What the hell, I'll try again this year"
>Find the perfect fabric at JoAnns
>Go to get it cut, ask the width because I forgot to check.
>She inverts the numbers.
>It's 45 in instead of 54.
>Procrastinate and realize I don't have enough fabric.
>"Whatever, I'll call around!"
>No where has it.
>Father who's visiting Illinois even checks the JoAnns by where he's staying.
>After hours of searching and calling four different JoAnns, he's the one to get the answer.
>It's been discontinued through the whole company.

Fuck, man.
