Cosplay complex

*screams* I've just had the best idea for cosplay!

I don't know who I'm cosplaying to which con yet... something Gravi to Supanova, maybe Yohji or Gluhen Schuldich to Manifest if we wanna do another Weiss cosplay... but AVCon's completley blank! I was hoping to go as Subaru from Tokyo Babylon (my current obsession), but I dunno... I'm not sure if his costume's recognizable enough. So now I'm thinking of going as omyoji-style Hokuto; complete with bloody wound, curtousy of Seishirou! And maybe a sign that says "Seishirou [heart]'s Subaru"... or something... I dunno. I'm not too fond of the thought of cosplaying a FEMALE, but I really wanna do a Tokyo Babylon cosplay... a RECOGNIZABLE one... so that may be my only alternative. Plus even if people didn't recognise the character, they'd still think it was a cool costume, which I'd love to happen.

... Maybe. Subaru is still in the works if I consider bringing a prop. Like how on the fourth manga cover, he's weilding a great big Wolfwood-esque cross, or another pic where he has a bird cage with Japan in it. *ponders* Damn... I can't believe I'm having so much trouble finding an outrageous and recognizable Tokyo Babylon costume when this series was created by CLAMP! Fucking CLAMP, known throughout fandoms for their scary costume designs!

Or maybe I should just do an X cosplay. I refuse to cut my hair though. A wig maybe... but I look horrible with short hair. I could probably get away with Subaru/Hokuto's hair, because it has lotsa wispy bits, but not Kamui's.

*sigh* Cosplay's a tough business.

Melbourne stuff again

Heh. Some of Sefie and Sora's comments remind me how much I still want to go down to Melbourne ^^

Hopefully I'll have a bit of money after dropping out of this evil course. I'm going to get a job for a little while, just so I can whack something on my resume (and again, money). Nothing much- maybe just something over the holidays, or as a Christmas casual or something. Then as soon as I can, I'm packing my bags. There's going to be two tricky parts to my plan though, and those are:

*Finding a job in Melbourne
*Finding a place to stay in Melbourne

The first one should be... meh. I'll go through a job agencey, which definatly increases my chances of getting a full-time job. That'll be excellent. I'll also be on Centrelink's job search until then, so I'll still be getting around $200 a week. Hm. Wonder if I can still claim that living away from home allowance?

And the second one, finding a flat or something. Kurochan said she'd help me look for a flat, but then there's the nasty inbetween time; you know, the time between arriving in Melbourne and finding a residence. That's what I'm kinda nervous and very unsure about. But I'm thinking I'll try to track down a cheap Backpacker's hostel I can maybe stay at 'til I find a flat. Can you just walk in and say "Hi, I don't know how long I'm staying for, but can you give me a room please?" Heheh. I reckon you should be able to. Ugh, I'm so inexperienced with all this stuff.

But the second I'm able to move into my own place, there's gonna be one helluva party! Well, okay, as much of a party as I can muster without the lanlord coming up and kicking me out. Yes I intened to bring my yaoi collection, and yes I can cook, so there'll be lots of sweets and orgasming boys. Possibly at the same time. o.o
