Cosplay: Frederic Francois Chopin
Complete: 0%

So, as promised, here are some terms you should know so you don't kill Wikipedia trying to understand me ( Skip if you're an otaku/weeaboo. xDD; ) :

Anime- Basically, it's japanese animation (E.G. Naruto, One Piece, Bleach)

Con- A Con is what I'll generally refer an Anime Convention to. (E.G. I went to that con last weekend)

Cosplay- Dressing up as one's favorite character from an anime or manga. We have whole conventions of people like this. (Yes. Exactly like that Star Wars Con.)

Manga- A japanese comic book, traditionally read from right to left. Most cosplayers generally have at least half a bookshelf full, but I only have eight. xDD; They are about the size of a regular novel, but I can read them in about an hour and a half.

MetroCon- The Con that I'll be talking about most in this blog. It takes place at the Tampa Convention Center every year in June or July.

Otaku- Basically, a nerd obsessed with anime/manga/cosplaying/japan in general. ( E.G. Me. c: )

Skit- Another thing I'll be talking about quite a bit. You probably already know what a skit is, but these are usually based on an anime/manga of some kind, and usually acted out by cosplayers at Masqurades.

That's all for now~
I'll update on my new project tomorrow.
Bedtme!
