Hello DA! It's been a very long time. Lot's have happened. I am graduating University, have moved in with my other half and now we have our own place. Finally have internet and I am looking to update everything just so that now I have one less thing to stress over, I can finally update and keep on top of it...

So over the past month I have been looking at cosplays and thinking about what I would like to get done. Whether in a group or not. There are so many and I would love to just make props myself also. Over the next couple of years I am looking to working on cosplays and not rushing anything. Even if it means I won't get them done for the conventions I want to. I will not half arse or rush them last minute hopefully anymore. I will probably upload some WIPs in future too if people are interested.

Over the next couple of years I am looking to get done:

Bethany Hawke- Dragon Age 2 (Currently remaking her skirt, corset and staff. I shall also add the minor details I didn't get to do last year.

Pepper Potts- Various (Going to create various versions. Whether that is Avengers movie, IM1-3. Rescue armor one day etc)

Peggy Carter- Captain America: The First Avenger (Looking at doing her uniform because I think it's amazing)

Natasha Romanoff- Avengers (Restyling wig and have almost all of end scene Natasha done from Avenger film with brown jacket. Looking to hopefully do her uniform one day)

Harley Quinn- Arkham City (Remaking her trousers and restyling wig. Also sorting out her baseball bat)

Lois Lane- Smallville (Have one outfit almost perfect. Looking at creating various outfits from episodes)

Taokaka- Blazblue (Been on the cards a while, made her tail and got shoes for her. Now to make the rest.)

Lady Loki- Comics (Got lipstick. Once I have money doing this and hopefully it shall look awesome. )

Shepard- Mass Effect (Got the foam. Looking at getting it done for next year… Hopefully! )

Mystique- Comics and Films (Looking at redoing her but with better stuff. Also looking at maybe one day doing a secret project with her )

Steampunk OC (This will cost a bomb to get everything. But I know that in my head it will look awesome. Hopefully I will be able to show my concept to everyone. )

There are probably others out there I'd like to do or remake. But for now. I think these are going to be my main priorities… Until new games come out and new versions of characters etc. But… these for now.

Hello DA!

Ok I know I said ages ago how I wasn't going to start a page and just not really use it again, as I did that with the last page I had. Well I have noticed I did it again and I apologise. Uni and work have been so hectic and trouble with my last house and just life getting in the way unfortunately has kind of become top priority.

But I should be back soon (I say this 5 days before Uni starts back up again) to a more regular update on here. With more cosplays and hopefully more Photography on my other page.

So just a very brief and quick update since.... 2011?

Was living in a house from hell thanks to my crappy landlady. Had mould growing in our house through the wall, wall falling down, leaking water tank etc. And then she still took away some of our deposit because of a bed that was already broken when we first moved in despite us living with a mould invested property for....8-9 months? Had trouble getting out deposit back and because she fed us false information trying to find out how she sent it to us, was accused of being a con and she threatened the police. Thankfully no longer in our lives and good riddance.

Almost lost my job due to administration however our store survived and have turned into GAME instead of Gamestation...

Finished 2nd Year of University (barely due to stress caused by said landlady. See above for details)

Moved into new place, and is pretty awesome. Only problem being the Student neighbours upstairs who party till 3-4 in the morning, and act like children running up and down stairs (I like to play my video games in peace and not be woken ridiculous times at night when I have work early next morning or even Uni).

Went on my first family holiday with my partner and her family. (Well mum and little sister) Was the most amazing time I've ever had and I couldn't have been more accepted. Went away for two weeks, had our own place to stay whilst her mum and sister stayed next door, and just explored and had such a experience. First time I've been abroad since I was 11 with my dad. 2nd time I've been on holiday abroad in my life.

Started my 3rd Year of University. Dissertation written in about...2-3 days. And exhibition final piece done in 1 day.

Went to Expo in May and October. Met some awesome people in October, and May was great minus drama with falling out yet still as awesome spending time with two of my best friends and my partner the whole weekend.

Christmas at work was full of customers and this was the first year spending Christmas Eve working, and Boxing day working also.

Spent my third Christmas with my partner's family. Which was lovely, and spent my second year without any contact from my family (minus my recently gotten in touch dad).

New Years.... I got a text message from my brother (who I haven't spoken to in about 4-5 years) saying Happy New Year, and telling me he loves me because I'm his sister despite us never getting along.

So yeah... a few things happened since the end of 2011. Family gained which has been nice, and a few friends lost. But that is life and I know that this year will come with interesting obstacles and so on. University starts again in 5 days, and I have my final project to do, fundraising for my exhibition for my final year in London, and my exhibition in the University to also organise. Have many cosplays I would like to finish and start, and just general life to do, like moving into my first proper home as I will have to be moved out of this student house in July. So saving up money and looking for a place with my partner is going to be interesting. Let's see how that turns out with no more student loans. :S Maybe a new job in the works too if I can't get more hours, which means 4 years of Gamestation/GAME will finally come to an end. Also Graduation. Will I? Won't I? Who knows.

Anyway think I've written enough, it's probably too long a journal now. :S

But I shall leave on a positive note and say almost 1000 views. Thanks so much guys. Also I am on Tumblr more, so if you'd like to check out my other pages, if you would like to see more of what I am up to other than on here. Then not a problem.

Thanks guys! And have a fantastic year! *waves*

So....Next week is my final deadline for Uni. Currently I should be writing an essay that needs to be handed in on Thursday....I am over 100 words less than 1000...and I need to write them and it will be finished. The only one I would have to do after is write a 2000 word essay. THEN do the REST of my Uni work. Slowly thinking I might not actually get it finished in time. BUT I think if I just keep working till late I should be fine. Energy drinks are going to have to be stocked up this week I think. Just so I can get it all finished.

House is fine...few problems with landlady, but should be sorted in the next couple of weeks hopefully. But we do not know yet. Might end up going to court if she doesn't sort herself out soon. Bleh.

Oh and work is fantastic. Working with my housemate is amazing, he's so awesome!

And my other half has been staying a lot more recently. This makes me a VERY happy person. I like waking up to her in the mornings, and coming home from work to have her there waiting for me. Oh and meeting me after Uni so we can spend time together. Our evenings of Dragonage are amazing too. I just wish she lived with us, it's like a whole happy family, and when one of us isn't there, it's not the same. It's strange how after one week of her staying, the house loves her and we feel more complete with her around, than we did before.

I like it a lot. It's nice...Might have to persuade a certain person to move in next year...I don't care what happens. I just want to be with her forever. <3

Also christmas is almost upon us. Got all my gifts bought for a certain person....I need to make Becy's present....Buy Keelan a present...Buy my secret santa present at work....Oh and then buy the rest of my other half's family presents as I don't have a family to buy presents for. Also I need to get a few other special people gifts too. Just need time to make them instead as money is a little low due to Uni costs etc and so forth... GRRRRRRRR!

Oh well, all shall work out soon.

Anyway here is a little update on my life. Look forward to hearing from you guys soon! BYE BYE!

Hey guys!

It's been a while. Again it seems I am ignoring everything on here and neglecting it a little too much. I need to remember to keep everything updated.

Well...here is a short breakdown of what has happened since my last entry.

Well....I have no contact with my family.
They want nothing to do with me, so I want nothing to do with them anymore.
I finally have a house. Living with my awesome housemate Becy, Keelan (who is just awesome and looks like Ruperrt Grint) and Carter.
In my second year of Uni and not quite enjoying it yet. But who knows...soon I might do, just need things to get together.

Oh and I just went to Newcastle last week and spent time with Lemmy, Erin and Raspberry. Which was awesome.

And I have just come back from Expo on Monday. Which was amazing as usual. Didn't take as many pictures as I had hoped. T_T BUT it shouldn't be too bad. :3 Hehehe.

So yeah...other than that not much to really tell people except I have awesome things from work. I'm enjoying Arkham City, need to sort out my money problems as I have rent to pay end of this month. Student Finance has messed me over...oh and I have Christmas to look forward to. YAY! Let's hope I get it all sorted soon.

Anyways love you all! Talk again properly soon!

Bye and Much Love! <3 xxx

Right...so just to let everyone know what's going on in my life. Well....

First thing is first....I haven't had a proper home to live in for over a year. I have had to sleep on the sofa and floor of a work colleague of mine. Now this is due to me starting Uni last September and me failing to find somewhere for me to live during the term (that and focusing more on not keeping money to find a place but using it for uni materials and paying them money for food and bills). Well since April me and a classmate of mine have been looking for somewhere to live for September. Now I must just have really bad luck when it comes to houses. In June we found this amazing house and the landlady said we could move in with a friend of ours who works. The only thing we had to do was wait until July 18th for it to come off the market to be sold. Now a month came and went and guess what? It didn't get sold. Things were a definite go at that point and I had the deposit money all ready just had to go get myself some references and see if the Uni would be my guarantor as my parents no longer want anything to do with me, and won't help me out at all. Emailed the landlady and the evening she said yes, she then emailed me back saying the current tenants who were living there had decided they may want to stay afterall... Now this got me a little annoyed and the landlady said to give her until Tuesday night to find out what they were doing. Now me and my friend Becy went to a house viewing, saw the house. It was amazing. Even told the people living there it was amazing and that we were definitely going to tell the landlady we would take it....Two days went by and I got an email to say that they were definitely going to stay another year... This was on Wednesday afternoon... Now this extremely upset me and pissed me off. Not only did we end up waiting a month for this house, the current tenants then decided they were going to stay afterall. It's now Friday at 1:45am while I write this in July. I have had to email lots of people about houses, and I am pretty worried because I'm sure all the places that are avaliable have most likely been taken by now. Not only would I be homeless if we don't find a house, but my classmate and my other friend who is moving in with us are now going to have no permanent residence to live in. I am having to go to Uni and talk to them, see what they can suggest and also talk to the citizens advice if the University can't help to see if they can.

I can't live on a mattress on the floor any more, and I can't feel like I have to be careful about what I say or do around people as I don't want to be kicked out and put on the streets if me and the people living here end up falling out. My work colleague who lived here has gone off travelling, so I am here with two of his friend's and a new house mate...PLUS another house mate who thankfully happens to be another work colleague of mine and is meant to be moving in with me into our new house.

Next thing that has happened to me... well like I said before, I don't have any contact with my parents exactly. Today I spent the whole day moving out my things from my mum's house. Now it took us two trips to move it all out (not including a car full that was taken to my friend's mum's house to be put in her loft). My mum didn't say a word to me, and she supervised everything I took...almost like she thought I was going to steal something from the house. I managed to get my birth certificate from her also, which means I can sort out things for myself like passports etc. Which is a good thing. Now I can't get into the room where my mattress is on the floor as it is now taken up of boxes from the house. This makes things a little worse because now I have things I can't even unpack and make as my own home because it isn't my home to live in. Even though I have been living here for almost a year now. I'm kind of glad I now have everything that was left there... It means that I don't have to worry about what she could do to my things if I ever gave her a hint of dislike. I have had enough of that whole part of my life. I never felt like part of the family, and all I was to them was a way to have money and get them games whenever they wanted them. When I moved to my mum's after living with my dad a few years she shoved me under the cupboard and made me move in there. She complained whenever I was at home, because even though I was working and not at Uni at the time, I was only working part time (because I couldn't get more hours due to how many people were working there). So she got annoyed because she felt I wasn't doing anything with my life while I was waiting to get back into Uni after taking a year out. Then she bitched about how my dad never did anything for my birthdays, and then this year for my 21st she just sent me a card.... and a parcel with bank letters in. While for her birthday and Christmas I spent over £150 getting her DVDs that she enjoyed watching so she could catch up on them. And I spent money on the rest of the family. I don't think she realised just how hurtful it was to know that my own mother didn't really care that I was turning 21, and that I was alone with no family or proper friends....

Anyway that is all over now and I now have to focus on getting somewhere to live and sort out my finance for University so I can afford to go to both Uni and live somewhere, and afford my materials. (Sometimes I wonder if Student Finance even think about how much it costs for rent and then to pay for materials and equipment).

Well that's my little ranty thing over....Goodnight everyone.
