And now I'm bored.
Most, if not all, of my friends are still without power. I have no work, because my office is still down and with the repair crews working we can't get to the jobs anyway. Few businesses are likely to be open, and I can't really afford to spend money now anyway due to the loss of my income. I'm not even sure if I can get to the store for grocery shopping.
I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm lucky to have been so little affected by the storm. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm a gemini leo leo with ADD (and that's just for starters). So my mind tends to move at very fast speeds and I get bored easily. I've been trying to come up with my next big cosplay to keep myself occupied, but unfortunately, that is proving to be very frustrating. All the ideas I like are not doable for some reason (usually because they require a group, and I can only realistically rely on myself and possibly one other person). It's made worse because I was supposed to be a part of a group with a new friend, but that seems to be falling through. I think she is avoiding hanging out with me, to be honest. I get the impression that she doesn't really want to be my friend, she is just too nice to say so. Especially since she is in the same boat I am in, not having anyone else to cosplay with and she, like I, really want to be a part of a big group. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, or overly sensitive, but, well, every time I try to hang out with her she has an excuse. And I always try to make sure it would be hanging out with a group, and encourage her to bring her own friends as well, so that she'd feel more comfortable. Maybe I just came on too strong and weirded her out. I tend to do that, simply because I have so few friends and rarely does anyone want to try and be a new one for me. I'm also still not back on my feet after my breakup, so my mood tends to swing wildly and I'm kind of reaching out for a lifeline, someone to reach out and pull me out. Someone tangible, who can touch me, cuz right now I really need a hug. And I virtually never get them. Pretty much the only time is when I am at a convention. So I really want a cosplay that will encourage that, like my last one did.
My current top ideas are to choose from Dissidia Duodecim (the final fantasy fighting game for the PSP) and Super Smash Bros. Brawl (the nintendo fighting game for the Wii). I have a few other ideas, but they aren't all that great. I'm certainly open to suggestions if anyone has one. Ideally I'd like to do something both recognizable (but not over done) and impressive looking (within the limit of my skills). And I need to have an option for my guy friend as well, so we can both coordinate.
Anyway, if you got through all of my rambling, I decided to make up a new comic. This one was a bit odd, because I actually wrote it backwards. I knew how I wanted it to end, so I started with that, then wrote each bubble from there so that it lead to the one I had just written. In the end, as usual, I ended up leaving out a lot of the details I wanted to put in due to lack of space. I wanted to go more in to the transformation, how it happened, as well as why he is happier now as a woman. But space limitations mean that you have to trim down the text to the bare minimum. It is actually very good practice for any captioner on how to say more with less. To let the image tell part of the story, instead of just spelling it out in text. I think, over all, that doing so means that there is more of a connection between the story and the image, instead of the two being almost independant of each other. I always like it when the text and image mesh, instead of being just an image and a story. The two elements should enhance each other.
Well, that is enough of that for now. Below is the comic, it comes from menage a 3 (http://www.ma3comic.com). Be warned, this one is a bit extra naughty, so don't think you can look at it at work and not get caught.
