I hate going to work right now. I was under the impression that I really liked office environments, but actually I like relaxed office environments. Nobody at this place talks except when they’re on the phone or are discussing a project, and it’s weird to be somewhere that quiet for seven hours. I’d have thought it’d be enjoyable, since I am introvert extraordinaire, but it’s actually fairly unsettling and stressful? At my last internship there were usually two or more other interns and we chatted while we worked, and the rest of the office chatted with each other and with us, and it was nice (not to mention the dress code was casual which is so much easier).

I get to do a lot more stuff at this one (like actual editing), which is great, but man. If I can avoid working in an environment like this is the future, I will.
(It’s not even like a big corporate place with a big boss and cameras and shit there are like ten people in the office. Why is it so uptight.)

Going to my first Queer Union meeting today.

Very nervous in part because I just haven’t been in a space like that before, and also because I’m still in the midst of sorting out my identity.

But it should be a good experience anyway.

Hello my lovely followers. I’m looking for some imput/advice.

I’ve never cosplayed before. But NYCC’s coming up, and I have a Sunday ticket, and I’ve been playing with the idea of going as Rubeus or Crystal!Ami.

But I also know that I wouldn’t be able to get all of the details right for Rubeus. The boots and earrings are what really come to mind, but even the outfit probably would be an approximation. Plus, I don’t have contacts, so my Rubeus would wear glasses.

The glasses thing makes me want to go with Crystal!Ami,  but that would either involve finding a good wig (which would probably be the most expensive option) or dying my hair (and I’m terrified that if I went with dye it wouldn’t wash out in time for work Monday, and I’m not sure this place would appreciate a blue haired intern) (Does anyone know how well hair chalk washes out and if it works on all hair colors?). But then again I know where to find a sailor uniform collar and could make the bow easily, so I’d just have to find a sweater (easy) and a skirt (probably doable), and then a wig maybe.

And I’m just not really sure if either is a good idea. I’ve gone to NYCC the past few years, and I’ve always been a little disappointed that I didn’t dress up (especially since everyone asks about it). But I also don’t want to do a bad job I’ll regret, and I lack the money/skill to do anything particularly involved/good.

Do any of you have thoughts?

So funny story. I did indeed use that Petite Etrangere cap from yesterday as my facebook cover photo because I am a ridiculous human being. And later that day I called my mom, because however ridiculous I am I try my best to be a good daughter.

And we talk for a while and then she brings up that cap. She used it to show her husband Yamato Yuuga (even though she’s not very visible). Which is pretty funny on its own, but then she kept saying that she didn’t know why she likes this woman, there’s just something about her, etc etc. 

My mom is having a little crisis over liking Yamato Yuuga. 

I don’t know what’s better, the fact that Yuuga has the power to make 50-year-old straight women question themselves, or that my mom  was trying to explain this to her queer daughter. 

Like, I get it mom. I’ve told you about countless real life and celebrity crushes on women. You don’t have to justify this to me.
