First post in a while. Unfortunately I sort of got out of the habit of posting regularly because I've been kind of busy lately. I made a patchwork dress in two days so I could wear it on my week-long vacation to the beach, then I actually went to the beach and didn't really have much to say while I was there, then I was busy getting ready and actually going to Otakon. And Sunday I came back. So I'm going to try to start updating regularly again now.

First of all, I don't have pictures of the two-day dress yet because I haven't gotten around to getting Danny to take pictures of it yet. I also don't have pictures of Otakon yet, but they will come soon.

Secondly, Otakon was far more amazing than I could have hoped for. Peter S. Beagle (author of The Last Unicorn) was there, and I not only met him twice, shook his hand, had all of my books of his signed, but I also took a picture with him and had a pretty good conversation with him, at least as far as book signing conversations probably go. I was a little surprised at how friendly, kind, and patient he was with me because I was so shy and awkward about actually talking to him at first. It made me so happy, and although most of the things we talked about have already become a blur to me, I will never forget how happy I was to have met him there.

I did a lot of other fun things while we were there, but I'll probably wait and write about them when I post the pictures. I didn't find a Takuto cosplay to take pictures with, and I wished I could have dragged Danny along with me, but otherwise the weekend was great.
