Manifest 2011; and the Future

Having... mainly stopped suffering from severe post-Con depression, I guess I shall now blog about going to Manifest for the second time... quite obviously, a well-earned break from writing my thesis... I cosplayed for the first time, I guess it wasn't too bad... I mean, nobody really hated me... or at least, if they did... I didn't notice... might have had something to do with the noise-cancelling headset I had on for most of the time... while a headset is probably more accurate, probably not the best thing to cosplay with.

Either way... yes, I did actually end up cosplaying, thanks to a couple of the people here with their assistance... and also several people on the day, who ended up persuading me to cosplay. This is a photo of me in the cosplay, I ended up finding another Ghost, he was one of the staff at the booth Armoured Heaven, they were really nice and cool, allowed me to borrow a toy gun for the photo ^_^ The cosplay probably looks better when armed, but yeah...


Either way, Manifest was a great time. I had lots of fun, Anime Idol and the Auction and the Dancing was really good. Met some really cool new friends, and saw loads of great cosplays. Unfortunately couldn't get a satisfactory number of photos etc... but yeah, all in all, was a good experience. Hoping I can go next year... but in the meantime, considering going to a couple of the other Conventions like Armageddon and Supanova... not sure about cosplaying though, time and money are issues that would need to be resolved (would also be issues I'd have to face to actually attend in the first place too...)

Also... thesis has progressed a bit, I guess. Ran into a couple of issues, and have changed my topic a couple of times... ripped out the heart of my thesis, but hopefully I can still get it done in the 5 or so weeks I have left before it's due...

Finally... guess I'm going to end up suiting up quite often soon. Have several formal functions soon, though I'm not sure if I can end up going to them all... we shall see though. I should buy a new suit soon... and get several other things fixed up too...

Mmm... break done, back to thesis. *waves and disappears*
