Shit Cosplayers Say

With the recent trend of Shit Girls Say/Shit Guys Say/Shit (insert group here)s Say videos,  there was bound to be a  "Shit Cosplayers Say," and there have been.  But, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed with these videos.  Maybe it's just me being a cosplay noob, but I don't find myself saying the same things these videos report.  


So, in an attempt to correct this, here's our take on "Shit Cosplayers Say."

• "Omg how am I gonna make that?"
• "Fuck, I forgot to get more glue sticks..."
• "No, I can't buy this dress, I need to save money for wonderflex!"
• "More craftfoam!"
• "Spray paint, y u no work on vinyl?"
• "My feet hurt Q_Q *while wearing hooker boots*"
• "Why is the hotel one block away from the con?"
• "This weapon is gonna be AWESOME...shit, how do we transport it?"
• "Ahhhhhhhh my wig is falling!"
• "What other character has a (insert color here) wig?  I should cosplay characters that I have the wigs for already."
• "Goodwill, why don't you have tacky trench coats when I need one???"
• In Michaels: "Shit...I forgot to bring a reference picture"
• "What shade of black is this?"
• "Professor, I have this *ahem* important thing to attend >.> I can't come to the exam on Friday..." *in reality...going to a con*.
• "Packing list: glue gun (check), duct tape (check), sewing kit (check), extra fun foam (check)..."
• "Mannnnnnn, the one year I stop cosplaying (insert series here), EVERYONE decides to cosplay it."
• Looking at other cosplayers:     "Duuuuuude, that outfit is awesome....I wish I knew where it was from >.<"

And finally, as a recent experience from home depot:

Anyways, that's all.  We are still trying to decide exactly what we will do for our next con.  We will let you know what has been decided!  Thanks!

What I'm Actually Doing

A little something I posted on my Facebook the other day :)

1890 Yourself

What a hilarious website - 1890 Yourself. Yes I married Legolas in 1890.

Mysterious Viking

Hee hee we're just a bunch of goofballs aren't we. I got this great idea that I'm going to start making videos of my friends because I like making videos and am tired of making them just of my own lame hooping time after time so here we go.

Magnetic Fridge Poetry

Here in Finland my mom has two sets of word magnets, both in Finnish and English, on the fridge door. This morning I took a few pics of my favorite creations. The above haiku-ish frustration came from me like two years ago, and it's still intact on the fridge :)

The following is also by me. My mom first thought it was about my relationship with my husband.

Actually, it's coming from a dog's perspective. There are two dogs running around the house, Rebel and Sara the Foxy Lady, and they directly inspired this one. I'm using the word 'breast' because there was no 'best' available. Good enough, no?

'loony miss fingers a pie

beloved sweet must be eaten

today a burp

but she jumps then

when belly is thick'

This last one is either by my sister Kaisu, or my mom. Probably Kaisu. She loves honey :) Have you ever tried magnetic poetry? Here you can try it online. Please post some of your creations in the comments!

My Teenage Poetry Project with a Hooping Omen

I was going through my old stuff here in Finland and found an old high school poetry project, along with some photos and drawings. This is the cover of my poem collection, it just says "Poems", and a few nostalgic pics I came across:

I made the poems in the following pic by circling out cool words and phrases in our math book, to form a poem when you read only the circled words of one page. Needless to say my math grades were incredibly low, if I happened to pass the courses at all. But my Finnish class was consistently A+, LOL!

Do you see that cosmic love hooper in the middle?!?! Now this was very early 2000's, I was 17 or something here, and had never even heard of hoopdance, what to speak of seeing it. What an omen! Maybe I should make this my hooping logo or something? :)

A more recent funny little thing I wrote:

"Hoop like no one's watching,

Hoop right from the heart.

Twirl and spin! Without, within!

Hoop from star to star!"
