I reckon that when you get super glue on youself, the glue seeps through the skin into the flesh, which is why my fingertips are feeling strange.

I think I've figured out what's wrong with me recently - lack of accomplishment in everything I'm wanting to do. And I'm so tired of hearing "but you've done great in this and this!", "yeah but it takes time,", and other things, because they're either things I don't agree with or know well. When I do things I set a certain standard. Sometimes the standard/criteria is weird but, anyway, I don't like being told I've set my sights too high or I should be happy with what I have - I am happy, but I'm not satisfied, and that's the key. For some things, being satisfied means not moving forward and I believe that's what makes some people fail.

This accomplishment thing is particularly hard to deal with because so far life has been so easy for me. GCSEs & A-levels were a doddle, getting accepted into the uni of my choice didn't even take effort and getting a job was the same. The biggest hurdle so far, apart from settling into this country, and getting sick, was getting my degree. But for that, I worked hard and I got it. For me, life has been such that when I wanted something, I would get it. Sometimes I didn't have to try, sometimes I put in great amounts of effort. But right now, I feel that I'm already tackling the problem from all directions but not even getting a tiny bit closer. I don't think my approach is wrong, but that means I'm just unlucky, which isn't a concept I can easily accept, that my important goals are so heavily dependent on luck.

So. Challenge ♪

:O I should go to bed.

Theoretically, because I went to do marketing for work last night outside normal working hours, I don't have to go to work this morning. Hadn't really planned on doing it but, I've only just woken up... >_>"

*works more on cosplay instead*

Cosplay progress (sort of)

I've realised what is wrong with my left index finger - I burned it. I sort of burned it with hot glue last night, and then I got super glue on it which burned it further (I think super glue drags water molecules from the skin, so the overall effect is more-or-less the same as a steam burn). So now it's a little bit painful, and tender. (I do have gloves, but even though they are latex, they still make it harder to work with small parts, so I don't wear them often...)

But all the cosplay things I've managed to do so far look awesome. Which says a lot because I made it XD;;; Last night I've started making the accessories. Soon I'll need to think about the belt... anyone got good suggestion on how to make a Cain belt?

Got a reply from a potential feather source, they said they can't get it sent out until 31 Oct because their office is closing for a week T____T Noooooooo~

Matching outfit

What is it with anime and laced-up shirts? I know anime has no sense of the moving times, or fashion, but such shirts are really clinging hard and refusing to let go.

It is Atobe and Tezuka though, which is very nice. I like the way the draw Tezuka now. Very manly.
