Doki Doki

Recently, I made a decision to join the Makeover Cosplay Competition, happening on the 29th of June.

I was a bit pissed at them ( okay, a lot pissed ) because 2 weeks before the competition, they changed the parameters from original characters to Cosplaying.

I confirmed and double confirmed in MAY that it was original characters. I choreographed a ballet piece for it only to be told that it was changed to cosplay. I considered dropping out but when I mentioned it to my mum, she was actually encouraging. For my mum to be encouraging of my cosplay tendencies is very rare. She doesn't approve of me taking time to make costumes or to attend conventions. She thinks it's a waste of time.

I mentioned it to her when I called her and she basically told me to go for it because I'm graduating in October and once I start working, these opportunities will be rare. So I'm going to go as Kid!Loki (again) and give it my all.

So lets see, I found out about the change on the 17th but I had exams till the 22nd to I didn't have time to prepare then. 23 was spent packing, 24th was spent moving. I choreographed a 2 min 45 second piece on the 25th and practiced again today. I have 2 more days to get it perfect :B

I get nervous just thinking about getting up on stage to perform. I don't think I even care about the prize anymore. I just want to do a character piece for Loki and dance dance dance!

Wish me luck.
