Super Kawaii... I think

Drew always likes going to this convention called Animevegas.
Anime, for those of you that probably don't know, is a form of japanese comic and cartoon.
It looks like this:There's another type called hentai, but I won't tell you about it.
Because my blog isn't about japanese animated porn.
I mean... whoops.

Anyway, most of the time, people dress up like their favorite characters, and all the white people dress like they're asian.
I used to laugh at this. A lot.
Like hahaha, look at them.
And now? I'm doing it. But I'm going to make it look gooood.
This is the dress I picked out:
Now, you'd think, "Huh, that's an unusual dress."
But when I look at it I think, "Huh, that's an expensive dress."
It's around $80. The best part? I'm not paying for it. My really great friend James decided to get it for me as a birthday present. They're also going to custom make it for me, because apparently I have weird, abnormally large shoulders.
Or, ya know, "American" shoulders. That's what I get for venturing into the world of asian fashions.
I'm looking for accessories to wear with it. I bought some net gloves today, and now I need something for my hair, a purse, and some shoes.
I almost bought a wig, but it's $43. I'm still so horribly tempted... but I have to resist.

I went to my school today because they called me letting me know I qualify for a job on campus. I called the 3 departments of my choice, and I set up an interview. I'm waiting to set up the rest of my interviews when they call me back.
I'd be getting paid $8 and hour, 20 hours a week, for about 3 months. Actually, it would probably be longer. I think that you work until the next work study would become available.
If that's true, that'd be neat.
So wish me luck there!

I'm still writing articles. I wrote four more today, four yesterday.
And that's my life.
I keep picking up followers, so yay!

Love ya'll, and thanks for supporting me. Seriously, I always love signing on and hearing from you.

Jobs on campus are really nice, because you don't have to worry about driving anywhere - you are just already there. I hope it works out for you!

That dress is really cute.
