The cost of shipping "jumped up" nearly double the original quote too. The accessory was supposed to cover the cost of shipping, but now with that off the table because she doesn't want it anymore the cost of shipping is ridiculously expensive.

If it makes you feel any better you probably didn't only lose it by a dollar. You have no idea what they put their max bid in at. It could have been $50 or $100 higher. But it always shows as $1 higher because that's how auctions work.

There's actually no such thing as "con season."

There are a lot of summer cons, a lot of winter cons, and a handful of spring and autumn cons.

I guess then, there could be two con seasons and two off seasons, but that's idiotic.

[Anonymous No.7555472]

>>7555449
I don't know where you live but there are barely any fall/winter cons where I live (east coast USA). I can think of MAYBE two within a reasonable travelling distance, but I still don't go to them because they are far or small. Katsucon is the big "winter" con on the east coast, but it's arguably spring/winter.
Come spring/summer, there are like 1000 cons and many of them on conflicting weekends. I've only once seen a fall/winter con conflict with another one, and that was due to horrible planning.

Stand up straight all the time, and stretch out while while sleeping instead of cuddling up in a ball. Do yoga. Maybe look into getting a back stretcher (not sure if exists) or place a body pillow under you while you sleep, so your spine curves over it and maybe lengthens somewhat. Get platforms, not crazy drag queen ones but like 1-2 inches.

Anon, you need to stop what you're doing. I was in that exact same place until I realised that no matter how much weight I dropped I'd never be satisfied with it. It takes a lot of effort, but avoid weighing yourself for a good while and get your favourite foods to make you eat some more. Don't worry about getting all the weight you lost back, it won't happen unless you binge or stop exercising altogether. I was close to 45 at my lowest and since I stopped fucking with my eating habits I've been consistenly around 48 (I'm 162 cm). Best of luck and take care of yourself.

This'll be sort of motivation reunions before you doing the task, with some kind of collective report after, and an organization nightmare done by an amateur for manchildren. I'll contact you back and set that up.

I got into an argument with my friend because she was giving me the most patronizing tips about weight loss when I didn't ask for any. The conversation came out of the blue when I just casually mentioned my stalled weight loss. Then dialogue basically went
>Her: "Well no offense but you're bigger than me, you need to do x, y, and z [continues for a good ten minutes] in order to lose weight faster."
>Me: "I know all that. I know why I'm not losing weight fast right now. I'm just frustrated because right now I'm going through finals, worrying about my shitty job, and getting harassed by my ex."
>H: "Those aren't excuses."
>M: "What do you mean by excuses?"
>H: "You're just using them as a tool to justify why you're not doing x, y, and z."

And this is where I lost my temper..
>M: "What would you know about any of them?! You dropped out of high school, have never worked a day in your life, and have never had a crazy stalker ex to drag you down and make you feel like shit about your image! I'm stressed out, k?"
>H: " SO WHAT YOU DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY STRESS EITHER?"
>M: "DID I FUCKING SAY THAT? I'm just saying my stress is not your stress. You have never experienced my kinds of stress so it's shitty of you to label it as 'just excuses' when to me they're REAL factors. So yeah, I'm not always thinking about counting my calories or having the mood or the energy to go workout for an hour!"
>H: "Haha whatever."
>M: "You hate it because it's true. Of fucking course you'd lose weight faster because you literally have nothing else to do with your time right now besides work on your body. Wish I could sit on my ass all day and only have to worry about what goes in my mouth and how many rounds of hooping I can do. CHRIST."

It's not cool for your friend to pester you about your weight. But I would have told her specifically about that. It shouldn't matter if you are or are not losing weight. You don't have to justify that to anyone except maybe your doctor.
It's hard staying on your side when we're just seeing a blow up of yours. Since I can't see the extent of how your friend has bothered you in the past and factoring in what you're like outside of the stress you're in. I hope you recognize that you've made a stress-fueled mistake, right? Attacking her personally and so specifically was harsh. She could have been justifying what she said to you as "help" (while that isn't what she should be doing), but what you said can only be interpreted as an attempt to hurt her and put her in her place. You could have let her know how you felt about her unwanted advice without doing that.

>Attacking her personally and so specifically was harsh.
I felt like she was attacking me, to be really honest. She was patronizing and really unsympathetic to my situation, and yeah, I could have forgiven it if she had just been a casual friend who knew no better.
But she knows me. It felt like she was only saying those things in an attempt to make herself feel better in an aspect about life that she knows I lack in, because she feels insecure about the things I shat on her about.
You're right, I retaliated. And maybe a better person would have kept their mouth shut about it. Unfortunately I snapped.

It would really be just about meeting up in a chat room (we went for tinychat) at a set hour, telling each other "Okay, what are you gonna do anon? And you, what are you doing? Fine, here we go far an hour of doing X", then an hour later we'd come back together and check on if honestly everyone managed to do what they wanted to do

This is intended to be a support group so I fear it'll kinda have a hugbox mentality, but I really believe a fixed schedule, a focused goal and the fear of not meeting the group's expectations are enough to motivate most people to do stuff they're too lazy to otherwise do

Give it a try, worst thing that can happen is me sending you an awkward email about the scheduled meeting you didn't attend to when you said you would. We all have different time schedules and time zones, so in fact it'll be miraculous if I manage to set everything right. Plus it's free, and of course you'll stay anon

I wasn't there, so I don't know the words she chose, the tone of her voice, or the look on her face. I don't know the dynamic you two have. I don't know if she's a strong supporter of tough love and forceful motivation.
If you really felt like she was attacking you, the best way to deal with that is to address it. Just say back what you said here. Asking if she's calling you lazy, if she thinks your stress is invalid, generally criticizing what she's saying to you. Focusing on the wrongness of what she is doing. She'll either ignore you or she'll realize how her words sound. It could have ended in her apologizing and not bothering you anymore about this. She would have been embarrassed that she was so pushy and unsympathetic.
Instead, she's walking away thinking that you think she's a lazy freeloader. You never said you didn't like what she was saying. You said that you weren't losing weight, she offered advice, you explained why your stagnation is justifiable, she said it isn't a justification, you told her she was a freeloader and couldn't understand.

It kind of sounds like both of you lack empathy. You don't need to go through a situation in order to understand that it is stressful. Neither of you really understand the others' lifestyle.

Trust me it was heavily implicated. I'm just exhausted from the stress levels at school and from my job. Then the emotional toll from my abusive ex.

In a lot of ways, she is. But she's still my friend that I've known since high school and I was happy to overlook that for the most part. I'm just mad that she couldn't look past this vulnerable moment in my life without having a condescending attitude towards me.

Good friends give their friends the benefit of doubt before attacking them. And yes, good friends don't invalidate how you feel and poke you about your weight. Her friend sounds terrible. In that context, Anon's reaction is understandable. If I had said something like Anon had said to my friend or if a friend said something like that to me, I wouldn't bother talking to them again because the friendship is over. Those kind of words are ones that you reserve for stabbing a knife into the heart of your enemies. If a friend got me that mad, she is not a friend.

Oh but she was, don't doubt about that. But instead of talking directly about how she's a worthless human being, you should have just gone "Jesus christ do you have any idea how stress work? Where did you pull from that shrimp degree?"

If she doesn't know shit about something, go straight to the point and tell her she has no idea what she's talking about. There's at least a chance she agrees on that, and maybe she'll learn something from it, while "Fuck off wanker" won't do much good to both of you

Petite girl here anyway at 5'2", but at ~110 pounds it seems like I'm considered fat! ohoho
I wouldn't want to lose my T&A for anything. I got my C/D cups from nice genes and my body from marathon training, and to diet it all away to fit in these "cool/cute thin" categories is just unhealthy and unsexy to me.

If you're a young woman, without a business look or intimidating cleavage, a boyfriend is needed. But I can assure you the tendance is inversed the older you get. A 40-50 something woman, a bit fat, but with a severe look on her face, that gives the MOTHERLY impression, is both respected and feared. Just thinking about it, I'm getting anxious

I'm waiting on a wig for a convention next week. It's only my second or third time ordering products from outside North America (China) so I'm fucking nervous as hell. I also made the order late last month, so with 12-23 shipping days it puts the wig at arriving the day before the con. I really wish I didn't leave it this close, but I wanted to save a few bucks on the wig. Now I feel like vomiting because of how nervous I am that the wig might not be here on time. I've worked so hard on the rest of the costume, if I can't get a good wig to go with it I'll be so upset.

(I also don't have a tracking code for the product or anything. I'm so bad at ordering things online.)

I'm doing Sakura from Street Fighter at Anime North. It's not a crazy complex wig or anything, just short brown hair.

I thought of just buying a wig at the con, but I feel that it's almost too basic, so no one will be selling it!

I don't do well with stress around big events like cons, and although this could've been avoided, I'm a dumb who needs to learn better places to get wigs than ebay.

I really hope they were. But I've heard some pretty dumb questions. So I wouldn't put it past them to actually be serious.

Also not CGL related but for the second time I've had somebody at work, while asking about my pregnancy, asked me if the father was in the picture. Second time somebody made the assumption I was way younger then I am, so I guess they assumed I got knocked up I feel like it's a pretty tacky question to ask.

I don't have a very large disposable income, but what helps me with materialistic desires is that I either continue working toward them through my job, and know that if I don't think about the money I have all the time, that time between paychecks will keep being shorter and shorter.

I also consider that once the reality of what I really want sets in, I have other things in my life to look forward to just as much! I also realize that what I want isn't as much a big deal as I made it out to be.

Barring those first three, the rest are an issue even outside of cons. I'm saying that if she dates randomly in a con, her chances are a thousand times greater of finding someone nice who shares an interest. Plus, being a girl instantly gives you an advantage because you'll get your pick of the litter at a con. Just find someone early on and hang out with them for a bit, and if they're not interesting you'll move on to the next.

You're talking about a place where men outnumber women 5 to 1. I'd totally try asking a qt con girl to go out for waffles, but I always get the sense that none of them are interested in meeting a stranger and having lunch.

I always tell myself "everyone's a stranger until you get to know them!" and I try making con friends, but everyone always seems like they wouldn't even want to bother being your friend unless you brought cookies or bought them lunch.

Friends? That's fine and I'll be normal, but when they maybe want to talk to me a little more than normal or I feel they're coming onto me, it's like I want to be anywhere but there. How weird.

At least I'll look better in the future now, though, especially when I get my chances to cosplay. I just hope I can get over these weird issues if people were to approach me by then.

I just taught myself how to lower the collar of a suit jacket for a costume. Take that, broad shoulders! I was scared at first because every site I looked at was like, "This is something tailors struggle with the most, don't even buy a jacket with this problem, oh you already did guess you'd better throw that piece of shit out," but I got it fitting perfectly on my first try. Sorry for the braggy feel; I'm just really happy it worked that well and am excited to fix a non-cosplay jacket with the same problem later.

Bad feel: Three weeks to finish three costumes. I want to kill myself.

Yeah, but most people don't have hours to spend at the gym each day. What you eat also affects your energy levels and how you're gonna feel during your workout.

>exercise will do more for you than dieting ever would.

Exercise and diet go together. You can't eat absolute shit, go to the gym, and expect your body to become healthier (speaking as an average person). Changing your diet is also a lot easier and more sustainable than going to the gym all the time.

She probably lowered the price because no one else was looking to buy it. You were her only customer looking at it at those price levels, so she just figured you'd be good to sell it to.
Plus, she could've needed some cash urgently, so she lowered the price to sell it faster.

I've been combining with a calisthenic work out a found online as well, so that might be helping as well.

It looks well balanced.
To make it harder (you can google these if my explanation sucks):
For everything: you can add weights, which is the obvious way to make it harder,but if you don't have any...
-elevated lunges, put your back foot up on a chair
-elevated push ups, feet go up on a chair to put more weight through your arms. Variations in hand position will target different muscle groups, like diamond push ups for triceps and wide push ups for chest
-side plank - with straight arm, really push your hip high, can do side plank crunches
- bridge - lift one leg off the floor and keep it out straight, rest of the body stays where it is. Obviously, alternate sides
- leg raises - keep head and shoulders off the ground, don't curl the neck (look up and behind), go all the way back into shoulder stand, never get feet closer to the floor than 6"
-squats - wide squats, elevate one leg, only use one leg

Convict conditioning has variants on squats and pressups that can help mix things up.

If i've noticed anything about dance, it's this: most people don't have the courage to dance in front of others, so even if your dancing isn't that great, people will still be impressed if there seems to be some modicum of rhythm to your dancing.

Thus, the crowds that surrounded you, despite how bad you thought you were.

Been in a long distance relationship with a guy for 2 years. I love him truly but once in a while when he gets a lot of work and goes out with his friends more we dont talk as much for a few weeks, and in the last bout of this I started casually talking to a guy in class and now its four months later and Im still talking to him.
The thing is, the guy Im dating is a bit of an asshole, hes always said so, and I've always known it but took it as "I can accept your asshole ways" which I always knew was wrong deep down but never wanted to confront it.
I dont want to end it because I dont want to be alone, I doubt anything with the one guy will work out, hes way out of my league.

Listen here.
You're gonna get up RIGHT NOW, put some clothes on and go for a walk. Go somewhere you don't usually go, take a long walk and bring your phone with you. Call your mum or dad. Tell them what's wrong and ask for some advice, alternatively call a free hotline and ask for advice. You could also go for a little run.
When you get back, you're gonna sit down, turn off ALL the electronics, facebooks, twitters, tumblrs, everything. You're gonna sit down, write a plan A and plan B: what are your plans for school, research the options well, put in some alternatives if that doesn't work out.
Study for the first exam you have, as much as you can.
At night, take a big glass of milk, put on a happy Disney movie and go to bed. You don't need to sleep, just watch the damn movie.
Next day, when you have time, repeat: work out a little, study a little, then relax. Stay off facebook, stay off your ex's back. Just walk away, nigga.

If you feel lonely, go to a shelter and adopt a puppy or cat or walrus or whatever.
Ask your friend if she wants to go somewhere with you, if not, fuck that bitch, go by yourself.

When you have longer weekends or any free time, go to a forest or national park and set up camp. Don't EVER try to be normal. Just try to be you. Don't sperg out, but don't act like everyone's normal because they most certainly aren't and everyone has some skeleton in their closet at some point.

Think of it this way: As long as you're with an asshole, you're not free to pursue whoever makes you happiest. I've been single for about two years and every time I wish I was in a relationship, I think of all the people I've met and how I would not want to be stuck with them.

Thanks for all of your advice anons, I really appreciate it. Also to clarify, he doesn't have kids, he said that in a hypothetical sense.
And well we nearly broke up back in November when he was paranoid about things (he was seeing things when there was nothing there kind of deal). I begged him to not end things, but at that point I kind of realized that this is mostly futile. My mother is starting a business here and Im working with her and he refuses to move here so.. But we made a promise at the beginning that we would meet, and I fully intend on it. Yeah, we met online when I was 14, he was 16 but we didnt start dating till a few years after. Which also leads to the fact that he has nsfw things of me and if he somehow found out I've been talking to this guy for the past few months Im scared he might do something.
We've been a 'thing' since the start of my highschool year and as result I've never really had proper guy friends and Im shy and nervous around people in general. So I've stepped out of my shell a bit with the guy, occasionally asking for rides but whenever I do he didnt drive his car that day.. He doesn't use social media much. I can't bring myself to ask him for his number because I don't want it to dawn on him that I'm actually interested in him and in truth I've never asked a guy for his number before. I asked him if he had a skype the other day and he responded with a "No?" With.. well it was a weird intonation i dont know how to describe it. He asked why afterwards and I said I needed help studying for exams.
Anyway, I still really care for my boyfriend and theres noone I feel more comfortable around and I dont want to lose that. I have a few close friends but noone like him. Its just... complicated. And I dont know where to even start with this mess.
Sorry for the wall of text, this got longer than expected.

>I dont want to end it because I dont want to be alone.
I just got out of a 4 1/2 year relationship that was also long distance, and honestly? It took me literally a week and a half to get through the process of being upset about it before I got over them entirely. Not saying that the same thing will happen with you, but I feel like it took me less time to be over it because when I got out of that relationship, I was able to look back on all of the problems and go, yeah, this was either not going to work out, or it was going to take a lot of time, therapy, and a break in order for me to want to be with this person again. It's been four weeks now, and it's like I was never in a relationship to begin with, and that just tells me that I was subconsciously checking out of it already since there was less of the positive to hold onto. It sounds like you're doing the same. You know what the problems are with this guy, and you probably already know he's never going to change. The best thing you can do for yourself is to end it, and find someone else who will love and respect you. Being alone after having been in a relationship for a long time is going to feel weird and scary, but it's 10x better than being in a relationship that stresses you out and upsets you day in and day out. I'm a little lonely at times, but I can't tell you how happy I am to have that weight lifted off of me. If you're still worried, you need to get yourself some good friends if you don't already have them, and also do things to make yourself happy. You're stronger than you think anon, so don't let being alone be the thing that stops you from being happy again.

Geez, and I guess to make all of that cosplay related. We met through a mutual con friend. While they wouldn't say anything about any outfits I was in, they did make a point to moan and groan about how they could never do lolita because they weren't pretty/small/ect enough to do it every time it got brought up (despite the fact that I always showed them sites for custom sizing and other things). I had to stop showing them dresses because that would happen, and they would also bluntly say that this or that was ugly, despite knowing how much I loved the fashion, and despite the fact that I already owned one or two of the pieces. They then suddenly got really into lolita and started buying offbrand things, like I'd already suggested to them a million times before, and now suddenly lolita was so great and wonderful! ( Some of that attitude bled into our relationship among other things, so, it was just another nail in the coffin ).

No one else was dressed up and asking for my picture for the third time already made me feel like an attention whore (I did not even dare to aks for more before because I already felt like I was annoying to everyone), especially because everyone had to wait for me. It didn't take too long each time (5-10 minutes maybe?), but then I alsohad some con staff taken my picture, and I felt like everyone was even more annoyed.

Forgot to mention, the first two times I asked a friend for a picture was when we sat down to eat and just relax, so I did not bother anyone and no one had to wait for me. They just seemed annoyed because I was taking pictures. The friend who actually took my picture didn't mind it at all, only all my other friends seemed to think it was out of pure vanity and arrogance.
Not to mention we just passed the location during our way home, so I did not "go out of the way".

I am not trying to kid anyone. Of course I dressed up to get some pictures taken too, and out of pure vanity because I spend all this time getting dressed up and ready so I better get at least a nice picture out of it.

I was just surprised why my friends were so annoyed by this, even though I did my best not to bother them. It's not like I stopped every 5 minutes and forced anyone to take a million pictures of me, I waited until everyone else sat down to eat and relay and had a few photos taken by a friend who volunteered before the con to take some photos, and that's it. There was no need to judge me so harsh for this, which is what hurt me a little.
I was sorry I made them wait for 5 minutes the last time I took some pictures, but the years prior I was waiting for them too.

Be sure you're measured for the correct size, then put them in your eyes. Be sure the outer rim points inward rather than outward.

Depends on the cosplay.
>Do I need to highlight/contour?
Depends on the cosplay, but probably.
>Do I need to do eyebrows/eyeshadow shit?
Your eyebrows should be defined and match your wig. You should have a nude eyeshadow if nothing else.
>Why are there so many brands?
Makeup is profitable.
>What do I do with foundation?
Find a type that matches your skin color and profile and put it on your face. Look into sponges or foundation brushes for application - don't just smear it in or it'll streak and look cakey.
>What the fuck is BB cream?
A combination product (tinted moisturizer/primer). Looks good for general wear, though generally you'll want a proper foundation for full coverage in cosplay.
