Went to a cosplay event again after a big break, I think I have rediscovered a bit of my enthusiasm for it, met some great people and got some great photos

I have decided I won't be cosplaying any more, so you won't be seeing any new costumes here from me. I'm still keeping the account so I can check out all the wonderful cosplays out there from you all

I have been thinking about things and decided that some people just aren't worth the effort to try to get to know/carry on spending time with,so this Expo I am just going to focus on spending time with the people I already know and like,plus a few new people I am looking forward to meeting who I have a feeling will be good worthwhile people. When I initially started cosplay I naively thought ''wouldn't it be great to make new friends with final fantasy fans,I'm sure they will all be friendly and nice because we have a shared interest in common'',but that I'm afraid just isn't the case.Now I've been on the U.K. cosplay scene for over a year I have just about started to suss out who is worth the effort gettng to know and spend time with and who isn't. Although from day one I have always tried to be friendly and make friends with everyone I have sadly found a lot of people to be either arrogant,rude and unfriendly, selfish and self absorbed,or all of the above and quite frankly I have had enough of wasting my time. The worst of the culprits are people who you send messages to who can't even be bothered to do the courtesy of replying to,which is just plain rude. Then there are others that you try to get to know but I mean you add them on msn for example,in an effort to try to get to know them because they look and sound like cool people, but you often get people where you always have to say hello first and start the conversation,otherwise they never make the effort to talk to you.And when you do start a conversation it is always you that's driving it. They answer your questions and react to things you say but never ask any of their own and promt the conversation. A lot of people have cliques which it is very hard to break into and quite frankly I can't be bothered and have realised I woulnd't want to be friends with them. So my time will be spent wisely this weekend,with the people I know and like. This doesn't mean I'm not open to meeting new people and making new friends if they seem decent and make an effort to get to know me but it does mean I'm not going to bother trying to talk to people I have already tried to make friends with and don't make much effort getting to know me back

Hello people.I wanted to take a poll to see which one of my cosplays were peoples' favourite.But as I can't because only premium members can do that I was hoping people would let me know their favourite via a comment on this post. The ones I have done so far are: Tidus,Jecht,Braska,Tseng,Vaan and Maechen.
If there are some you haven't seen there are pictures of all in my gallery.

Looks like I may be going to ALCL after all. If I do go though it will not be in cosplay or else I will go as Tseng. I can't be bothered with the hassle of fake tan and shaving body hair that most of my characters require, or carrying a costume and getting changed,I'de rather just wear on the train whatever I will be wearing at the con. Will be good to hang out with friends and have a laugh.
In other news I have a new job and am now rolling in money so I don't have to worry about that side of things any more,so things are looking up.
