well, despite me not touching this journal for months, i recon i can now. ooh, shiny journal skin! lets try that

I jsut came back form supernova today (like Comicon in USA, but in Perth Australia) pop culture expo
it was awesome.

naturaly i aspired to go as a good costume, and i went as a redshirt, ie: a Star trek origonal series security guard. i got super awesome boots which i will post soon, along with pictures of me and Wasp. I got my photo taken several times by other people, once by a fairly proffesional photographer working for supernova, anda couple of other times by people, particularly when i found a girl dressed as a TOS Science officer, complete with the same phaser as me.
costumes i recognized were as follows:
-the 501st Terror Australis garrison, storm troopers, scout trooper, darth vader, assan ventres, jedi
-Packman and three ghosts
-ironman
-Goku
-Spiderman
-Master Cheif
-Cloud x3
-Harley quinn
-Pokefan (picachu) x2
-the joker (heath ledger style)
-Optimus Prime (an off the shelf kids costume, not a cardboard craftsmanship)
-a geisha
-Princess Leia Organa in jabba's bikini
-lots of Naruto
-quite a bit of final fantisy
-Link
-a hogwarts student from gryffindor with scarf
-a hogwarts student with broomstick
-a Spy from Team fortress 2 disguised as the portal cake
-the main guy from One Piece (dont know his name)
-LOTS of anime charicters of which i knew almost none of
-Dante from devil may cry
-a zombie (atleast i think it was)
-a dalek (with someone inside so that it moved)
-the Great Sayaman from dragon ball z (i believe it was actualy a girl, and at some point the great sayaman became unmasked, as someone was walking around withyn the helmet)
-a stargate atlantis personel
-a stargate sg1 personel
-the fifth and tenth Doctor's from Dr Who
-and lots of nice nerdy, geeky or just funny shirts

i had a blast. i bought a tan t-shirt with daniel jackson on it indiana jones style, and i also bought Sideswipe deluxe transformer to ad to my evergrowing transformers collection. i went to see richard hatch talk about battlestar galactica, and i watched the second comming trailer. not fantastic special effects, but it is over a decade old so they msut have been fantastic at the time. the rest of it was cool. then Me, Wasp and irada left for the train station, passing trhough the city to annoy my sister at work with our costumes before heading home.

i cant wait for next year. this year has been a great respite from year 12 preassures and exams, of whcih only a term is left before4 exams. oh btw i'm now on school holidays for two weeks stating tomorrow.
yeah, next year i will buff up my costume considerably. might even go as a transformer, or jsut buff up my TOS redshirt. either way, the real reason i loved it was that its so manny compeltly likeminded people all together, and all of them are friendly, helpful and aproachable. you can go up to anoyone and start talking aobut anything and they'll join in, you dont have to know anyone.

I an Itsomi Horklash, and I send this message, to any Deviants waiting out in the perth metropolitan area. Next year at supernove (if it runs) will be awesome. you should try and hunt me down if you can. I am here. I am waiting.
