    Any questions about why I know so much about sewing are going to be ignored .

    If we're talking about an entire outfit, that's shirt, pants, shoes, and accessories.. $120 for an entire outfit is actually not that abnormal. Hell shoes themselves could easily make up half of that. And this is all custom made stuff on top of it, usually custom-fitted as well. The price if you think about it isn't unreasonable. And as for why someone would buy it? *shrugs* I've been tempted to myself before.. They'd make cool collectors items to display, or make for awesome halloween costumes, or hell they'd make for really kinky roleplay even with your gamer boyfriend\girlfriend.

    The other day I saw this pretty decent cosplay of Lightning (FFXIII), turns out the chick is Hungarian. I was all :O.

    If the women going to those conventions looked like the characters you can bet I'd be there . Unfortunately, like you said, they are not.

    There are different standards for who you can date and criticizing their appearance .

    The kind of ones who wear random ugly clothing, don't brush their teeth and have messy hair, but they feel their anime knowledge will let them get one of them hot waifus and act like condescending assholes with everyone around them? Yeah.

    Which is one of the reasons I never fitted in the anime scene around here, I'm not like them.
    Dude, I felt out of place among weeaboos when I was still really into anime. So glad it was just a temporary phase in my teenage years. It sometimes amazes me that there are people in their twenties who're still that way.

    Exactly.

    Some of their women (the ones who aren't all extreme yaoi or plain strange) are hella cute and easygoing, but no, they will only settle for the maximum bitch, the one who will never EVER give them the hour of the day and likes real bros.

    You might say I rescued my girlfriend from one of those groups. She's just a casual anime watcher, but man, she didn't belonged with them.

    It's not wrong that you like anime even if you hit 40, but yeah, some of the attitudes are more suited into you know...KIDS, rather than grown men who still dream of glorious Nippon and having an anime-like life, with harem endings and shit.

    I like anime, but there is no way I'd ever go to a convention or talk about it with anyone that I don't know well.

    Something like that can actually be really fun if you're both big enough gamer geeks to properly enjoy it~ (And admittedly, not everyone is.)

    I'd spend $120 on a Darth Vader costume. Come on, I really need one! I can do the voice and everything!

    How To Keep A Healthy Level of Insanity

    1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car w/sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
    2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
    3. Insist that your e mail address is: [email protected] [email protected].
    4. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
    5. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing.
    6. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN."
    7. Develop an unnatural fear of staplers.
    8. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
    9. In the memo field of all your checks, write 'for sexual favors.'
    10. Reply to everything someone says with, "That's what you think."
    11. Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy."
    12. Adjust the tint on your monitor so that the brightness level lights up the entire work area. Insist to others that you like it that way.
    13. Dont use any punctuation
    14. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
    15. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
    16. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."
    17. Sing along at the opera.
    18. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
    19. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is of the opposite gender.)
    20. Send e-mail to the rest of the company to tell them what you're doing. For example, "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom, in Stall #3."
    21. Put mosquito netting around your cubicle. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
    22. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.
    23. Call 911 and ask if 911 is for emergencies.
    24. Call the psychic hotline and don't say anything.
    25. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard.
    26. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won!", "I Won!" "3rd time this week!!!"
    27. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!"
    28. Tell your boss, "It's not the voices in my head that bother me, its the voices in your head that do."
    29. Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
    30. Every time you see a broom, yell "Honey, your mother is here!"
