Okay, so I know that I'm virtually unknown here at theO, but I'm hoping to change that soon...if I can get my scanner to work or get some good FanWords going. Basically, this is where I'm going to tell everything that's going on with me personally as well as how anything I'm working on for theO is coming along. So with that, please enjoy.

Anime Central
I'm already trying to plan for next years Anime Central. My friends are wanting to "crossplay" and I guess I'm going along with it. I don't know if "crossplay" is a real term or not but I'm gonna say it. Anyway, they say its where you take a male character, and make it female.
Anyway, I'm gonna be Gaara and was wondering if you guys think I should leave my hair alone and just get it to his color or if I should try to put on a short wig and style it. My hair's a little below my shoulders.
Also, my dad is wanting to go. 
We want him to cosplay too so if you have any good ideas for a 43 year old man those are VERY welcome.
Anime Central
As some of you may or may not know, I went to Anime Central last weekend. I ended up taking over 250 dollars with me and only spending about 50 lol. Apparently, some tard decided to hack the computers on the Friday they opened and everything was all messed up. We had to wait in line for THREE HOURS before we could even pay. No one really knew what was going on. The people who were there on Friday had it worse though. They had to wait for TEN!
Anyway, I cosplayed as Haruhi Fujioka (from Ouran High School Host Club), my friend was Zoro (One Piece), and my other friend was Vivi (also One Piece). If I would've known they were both doing One Peice characters I would've tried to get a costume together from that show too so we could all be from the same show. It was weird having people wanting to take your picture though. I was just standing in line and had only been there for like 15 or 20 minutes when this girl taps me on the shoulder and asks if she can take my picture. It was so awkward, but I couldn't really just say no. I didn't mind a whole lot though. It was kind of like having a little mini fan club, lol.
Once we got into the con, we ended up going strait into the dealers room. Sadly, we never looked at our maps or programs or anything so we never actually LEFT the dealers room. We missed EVERYTHING! I was so upset when I got to the hotel room and looked the registration bag and found out about everything else we could've went to see. Just thinking about it makes me depressed...
Even though I didn't DO anything, I still had fun. We're hoping to go back next year and actually go to the con, not just the dealers room, but its on Mothers Day weekend and my mom is really big on the WHOLE family being together for EVERY holiday.
Did anyone see the other stuff at the con? If so, could you tell me about it? I'd just like to know what it all was like.
Also, if anyone has a good excuse/reason that my mom should let me go even though its mothers day weekend, I'd love to hear it. My moms a sucker for those random excuses that make no sense nor do they prove your point. I might be able to talk her into it if I can get enough logical ones to go along with the random ones. For some reason, to talk her into anything you have to have this weird balance of stupidity, logic, randomness, emotional appeal, and then suck up to her to seal the deal. It's really complicated so anything would be appreciated. 
ACen
Alright so I'm going to ACen and I was wondering if anyone out there is going or has been there before. This is going to be my first con. I'm going with two other friends and it'll also be their first time. If you've been before, do you have any advice for me? If you're going, are you going to cosplay? Also, how much money would you recommend I take and what would be the best/safest way to carry it? Is there a need to take precautions against pick-pockets or anything? I've just got a lot of questions is all. I'm kind of nervous, but really excited. I'm going to take a look at the Otaku Survival Guides and have my friends read it too. Still, any advice would be much appreciated.
I'm planning on cosplaying as Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club. So if anyone has advice for the best way to get my hair to stay in the wig or anything else cosplay related please let me know.
Thanks for your help!
