Also, If anyone has pictures of my cosplay (Knives with red highlights), I'd love to have them!

Sent you a friend request! My friend has some pics of you, too. Cant msg you via fb for whatever reason. Will post my own photos when I can find my sd card reader ><

If u do add me, plz relay a msg to me that you're from the con/gathering. Thx in advance ^^

I had so much fun<3
despite the fact that I overstretched my thumb during an action pose and now will have to wear a thumb stabilizer for two+ weeks. ><

I made my friend buy an amp and play the playlist. Stetching the rules, and no one complained, so all was well!
I clearly got back with my bf sorta (red Scott). We met 3 Fanimes ago, including this one. We were a couple before SP came out & we both fell in love with the film. So last yr we cosplayed them together (although my cosplay was sadly half-assed I admit ><)

add me on fb so I can tag you if you want. (when I finally upload them that is).

-sincerely, Rollerblading Ramona<3

Seconding MaraKurohi's question, what does "MP: FiF MS" and "L: FiF MS" mean?

Idk wht mp or l means but I've found out that FiF MS means "Flowerbed in Front, Mariott side" last I went there, 2 staff meetings ago, wasn't there construction being made around there? I'm assuming this location will change.
I won't have access to Internet at the con so if someone CAN, plz notify mr the new area if there are changes in plans. Txt me at 415 756 6930 Many thx<3


And my wound has healed for the most part, it's not noticeable now. However, I know I have internal bruising that will take up to 2 more week to fully heal. So that sucks. And totally gonna try rollerblading outside still... Cuz rules and regulations isn't SAY outside of the convention hall. Same for "loud music" lol. Gonna see if a friend can play some the Scott Pilgrim album or a playlist with some SP songs during the gathering to make it more exciting

@vietboy:
Here's a tip you can do.
1) Buy a base colour sleeveless shirt. (Black or White, which ever you planned to do). $5 hanes shirt at Walmart or w/e?
2) Buy Fabric PAINT (check with your nearest art shop, I go to Blick).
3) Glob some on (work on one side at a time), wait to dry, and iron over it. (Last I check this was the instructions, could be different per brand).

The design is just a big circle with lines dragged out from it so it shouldnt be difficult at all.

It might be messy but it's pretty easy for last minute things.
This might help you.
Sure, it's not a clean print or clean sewn-on design, but it works.



And I just got into a rollerblading accident. I hope it'll heal by Fanime lol

Oh, update:
Me and the boyfriend broke up recently. I'm just hoping that he still won't cosplay Scott while I'm there now. That'd be awkward? lol
I guess he really WAS just "an evil ex waiting to happen"...?
Oh well<3 Can't wait to see you guys there!

And what does..."MP: FiF MS" & "L: FiF MS" mean again?

Oh, and I hope my bf can play Scott again this year!<3
I think his username is lonelykangta or osakachan (one of them has gotta be right! lol)

Almost done with the cosplay. (as you can see for yourself). I'm not going to do the hammer. Too much effort and time I don't have. Getting a couple of people to help me with the bag and shirt creation. Then I'm practically done! Just gotta dye my own hair the week before Fanime.

btw, to my knowledge: skating is fine immediately OUTSIDE the con, just not inside, right?

Sweet, a Patel<3 The first sweet Love? =P

And I just read: NO ROLLERBLADES ALLOWED INDOORS. On the Main Site under the Code of Conduct.
http://www.fanime.com/code-of-conduct/2012-code-of-conduct/
So. Very. Sad. Sigh.

But I guess, the brighter side of things: I can at least practice my exercises and whatnot outside, hopefully. HOPEFULLY. Dodging crowds and fun tricks, if I can learn them in time, hahaha.

Sounds fun but I'm calling out. (1) I don't plan to make my war hammer as I've other unfortunate busy things on my plate and (2) it would be incredibly hard to balance on skates<3 (for defensive poses of all things!)
I mean, balancing on skates themselves is ONE thing. As is DANCING on them. B-bust A Move! But freeze fighting without my Hip Hop shoes on? Nuh uh! That ain't fair tuh me! xD

@ shy-cosplayer: so lucky, I wanted my friends to come do this with me too but they weren't interested. I know these two guys who would've been almost PERFECT to play the Katanagi twins! So mad at them right now. So mad! And a guy to play Patel but he's not so interested in cons anymore. So mad, so sad.

BTW-IMPORTANT:
Does anyone know whether or not Rollerblades are BANNED?! Like entirely?! Like, I doubt I'd go CRAZY in them and all (besides, I'm far from going aggressive inline at this stage, lol) From my understanding, everything is fine as long as (1) it's not a real weapon and (2) you won't be rude and break conduct and stuff like this. Anyone have any info on this? Official news/info understanding?
Because without bringing my blades just DOES NOT feel right!

Haha, I'd try but I'm not girly enough. Cutesy is an understatement with me. If there's any room for the kick-ass girl trying to act not cute, then sure. Otherwise I'd bite my own tongue if I can't play the tough girl who is cute but acts like she isn't. At the VERY least man! Variation and uniqueness~ xD

Does anyone know WHEN exactly the Staff page will be up? It says it'll be up by mid-december but that's an understatement at this point. It's just that I've had a couple of beginning Ballroom classes myself and would love to help out during the Dance practices and whatnot! =)

[FUN]

Don't know if I want to do something like this. Seems silly. But FUN silly~ How do I get signed up anyways? Can someone message me personally on that info, pwease?

Name's Mara.
21 yrs of age. May act younger or much older depending on situation.
Major: Biology
Minor interests: Graphic Design, Rollerblading, Traveling, Dancing (Ballroom and recently Belly Dancing)
Other interests: Some gaming and definitely SnuSnu<3 xD
Currently single. More interested in a cuddle partner than a relationship, hahaha

Also, if you see me zooming around during Fanime, I WILL be the azn Ramona on Rollerblades<3 I JUST dyed my hair recently, not sure if i'll keep it this way or dye it red or purple or green by Fanime =3 Will decide later hehe

[San Francisco]

I live in San Francisco by Downtown. but the horrible thing is that I'm not sure if I can be able to leave on the 25th or not because the 25th is the LAST day for finals and they love not telling it to us till midterms or LATER. Lazy teachers! >=T But if you're coming my way, keep me posted. It could be fun<3 =)

omg Monday AGAIN?! I'll have to be play my cards right with the hotel leader... *shifty eyes* And get my stuff packed by the night before asap. I'm going to be hella lazy probably. But I wouldn't want to miss this!

I was one of the Ramonas last year. I was the special red one<3 The azn one, lol. Let's say I'm a Ramona + Knives mix? Why not the best of both worlds? Just more excessive with Ramona because I don't like Knives as a character (until the last book, that is).

I'm currently taking some dance classes for balance. And I also have learned to rollerblade a bit.
If I get better at rollerblading, I'm considering learning how to Hip Hop and breakdance to try being a JSRF character one day in the future.
I also recently dyed my own hair blue-green. I just hope if I get a job soon that they won't demand me to dye it back, how boring! lol


Anyways, for now, count me in as Ramona again! (I just hope I get eye contacts by then though! ><)

Haha, I know. A part of me thinks he was trying to cosplay yet another part still wonder if that was merely accidental. He played "Wallace" very smoothly, how he acted too. And yeah, there were soo many Ramonas than I had anticipated. If I could ever find those pics, I'm the small azn Ramona with red hair. T^T Tried to pull off the video game version. And yes, I had my real hair cut red and dyed. =D

And kangta, dear, they weren't yelling. Check out was unfortunately during the gathering time. Either be kicked out or charged more Dx (As a Ramona, I was in charge of yanking my Scott and running him outta there! hah) But yeah, wish the times could've changed so we would have stayed and have fun for longer<3

Rest well, Ava!
