Con-G Report Part II

Hello again my freaky darlings and welcome to part two of the Con-G report!

Friday
So Friday started off kind of badly for me as I was stressing over my Rogue cosplay. After trying it on all together I discovered that I did not feel at all comfortable wearing it and now I doubt if it will be worn to Anime North.

He's cute, I look fat and derpy

       Anyway so I ultimately chose to wear my Fiona cosplay from 'Adventure Time' (which I promise to post pictures of once I find some!) and all was peaceful once more in the funky verse!
       So we headed to Con-G and once we got there I was delighted to see that the Pre-registration line was completely empty! I love being rewarded for planning ahead!
       After registration my sister and I puttered around for awhile until she found out that there was a 'Homestuck Photoshoot' so she headed to that and I sat around chatting with a nice chica and lamented my hunger which was quenched post photoshoot with a hotdog!
       I also developed a brief cosplay crush on a cute Jack Frost cosplayer I saw but I got over it once I came to the conclusion that he was likely gay based on his mannerisms (though I still got a picture with him on Saturday).
      The main  reason I chose to go on Friday was actually to attend a 'Nerd Speed Dating' event that was being held and after humming and hawing over whether I wanted to go I ultimately decided to (with a lot of sisterly encouragement).
       The event ended up being rediculously popular despite concerns that it may end up as a sausage-fest (aka all guys) and we ended up with 40 people (20 girls and 20 guys).
It all ran quite smoothly: we had 3 minutes with each person and the guys had to move, not the girls! If you liked someone then you would put a check beside there name on your sheet, which was handed back to the attendant. If the other person gave you a check than the attendants would email you their email!
       There were some very nice people there and I ultimately found myself becoming fond of one particular gentlemen in a military uniform (yes he was in the military) but of course I was worried that he wouldn't choose me..

Saturday

Oh there we are!

I decided to wear my floofy Stocking dress on Saturday and though I wasn't wearing my Stocking wig, I decided to wear my Rogue wig, resulting in a gothic Belle sort of look. We arrived around 10 but quickly decided that we wouldn't be able to last to our original 4PM pick up time because:
       a.) My dress was waaaaay to poofy to fit through the hall
and
       b.) Con-G is a smaller con and there isn't that much to do
       So we stayed till 2. I also did my major purchasing that day and I ended up with 2 necklaces, a pair of Bombomb earrings, 2 hair bows, and a new wig for my Stocking cosplay. For some reason I buy a lot of handmade stuff at Con-G, though I have no idea why.
       Best part of the day: running into the cute military guy in the dealers room and we ended up exchanging numbers and have been talking ever since!
        For some reason I ended up getting quite ill once I got home and we never really found out why though I was fine the next day!

Sunday
The last day of the con and the latest starting one as I didn't arrive until 12PM rather than the usual 9AM. The first half of the morning I spent hanging out with Military Man (squee) and then I hung out with my sister and another one of my Anime North cosplay friends (and one of her friends who was lovely)!
      I actually attended my first panel (EVER) this year when my sister and I ended up wandering into a 'Ask the Homestuck Characters Panel' which was actually a lot of fun! I think I may have to attend more of these. I know shows like Hetalia (eyuck) and My Little Pony have them so we have decided to check out some of those at AN maybe.
The rest of the day was spent in the Dealers room as my sister spent the last of her con money and I ran into military man a few more times, thus resulting in many more awesome hugs.

So overall, Con-G was FABULOUS!

All I want for Christmas...

Hello and merry December my freaky darlings!

With December totally underway and my semester almost done, all I have is an in-class assignment/exam next Wednesday and then I'm done! So my mind is totally on Christmas and Christmasy thoughts!

This weekend were (my Mom, sister and I) are going to Square One to finish off our Christmas shopping (aka buying for my Dad).

I know a lot of people try to avoid talking about presents to prevent from sounding greedy but come ON we all know we love presents (whether it be giving or recieving).

So I decided to make a Christmas top 10 on things I would love this Christmas! (Though it's a top 10 it really isn't in order)

10.) Lightsaber Umbrella from ThinkGeek

I really need a new umbrella and I think something along this line would be perfect (especially as it could double as a cosplay item!)

9.) More Funko POP's from Funko POP

I have recently started collecting these little cuties, I have a Loki and Gizmo so far but I really want to have more of them!

8. Dishonoured from EB Games

Ever since I saw the SyFy 'Face Off' episode where they designed characters based off of this game I have totally wanted it!

7.) Lego Lord of the Rings from EB Games

The LEGO brand games based on series are just THE funniest things ever!

6.) Skeleton Dress from Kreepsville

I love love love LOVE this dress and would love one of my own! ♥‿♥

5.) Sugar Skull Cardigan from Sourpuss

I have recently fallen in love with cardigans! It may be because my school is freezing!

4.) Hair Clips from Etsy

I recently got my hair cut and I have discovered that it looks ADORABLE with hair clips of any kind!

3.) Spiked Hairband from Etsy

And hairbands as well! They also look fab in my hair

2.) Hellbunny top and skirt from EBay

This listing is actually just for the skirt but I love the top as well and intend on adding it to my wardrobe!

So that's my list! What about you lovlies? Anything in particular your hoping for? Feel free to post a comment and share!

Welcome to my Blog

Hello my freaky darlings and welcome to my little garden of words on the web.

About the Blog

What is ‘Technikitty: The Life and Times of a Freaky Geek’ about? Well, exactly what it sounds like! This blog will be focusing on my life as a geeky young lady with a gothic flair thrown in. It will have entries on a wide variety of topics that will range from Con reports to game reviews and even a few outfit posts and interviews thrown into the mix.

I have no real direct plan for this blog.  I suppose if anything, I just really want some writing practice considering the College program I’m in…but more on that later.

The Freaky Aspect
What can I say about my freakdom? I suppose I have always been a little weird and inclined to the dark and macabre. Maybe it all started with my fascination for witches and monsters? Or maybe it was my Dad taking me to a restaurant that is famous in the area for its hauntings and telling me to always be polite to ghosts (yes I was that little girl who yelled ‘Bye Miss. Emily’ up into the attic where the ghost was reputed to haunt in hopes that she would one day respond).

Well whatever I was it definitely helped mold me into the ghost loving-sun avoiding-horror movie hounding-cemetery exploring-gothling that I am today!

About the Writer

My name is Katrina, more commonly known as Kat by my classmates. I am a 20-year-old chica in my first-year of Broadcast Journalism in a Canadian College. I chose to use the online moniker ‘Technikitty’ after I misread my teacher’s horrible writing and thought that his comment ‘technically’ said ‘Technikitty’.

When I’m not attending cons or exploring graveyards I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, cuddling and generally adoring my cat, coming up with elaborate story ideas that never seem to get anywhere past the planning stage, and reading anything I can get my hands on!

Well now I must be off. I have things to do and people to bother so until next time, I bid you adieu and safe travels.

Under Cosplayed

Hello my freaky darlings and welcome back!

So today is going to be another more geeky post (I promise that the next one will be more on the freaky side).

So today’s topic is one that my sister and I have chatted about numerous times and it's under cosplayed series and characters!

At Anime North you tend to see a lot of Naruto and Black Butler cosplayers, so just more popular series in general. And there is nothing wrong with that! But I'd love to see some more variety in Cosplay!

That's why I'm going to make a list (yes I'm obsessed with lists) of my top 10 cosplays I would love to see!

10.) Battle Royale
This is without a doubt one of my favorite series of all time! You do see a lot of Battle Royale movie cosplays but I'd prefer to see more of the really distnict characters from the Manga.

9.) Deadman Wonderland
Ah Deadman Wonderland. I really enjoyed this series, but I don't see a lot of cosplays from it. I pretty much only see Shiro cosplayers.

8.) Final Fantasy characters other than just X-2 and XIII
Every year at Anime North I see sooooo many X-2 and XIII cosplayers but very little of any other series. It’s kinda sad. There are just sooooo many great outfits in Final Fantasy that are just never cosplayed.

7.) Tekken Franchise
Much like I mentioned in my Male Cosplayer post, you don’t see a lot of Tekken cosplayers in Canada. But I really love Tekken and I would kill to see more characters cosplayed.

6.) Samurai Warriors
Dynasty Warriors, the other creation from Koei, is really well cosplayed. But Samurai warriors is kinda left on the wayside. I’m not sure why though…

5.) Petshop of Horrors
I swear this series is like candy for the eyes! There are just so many incredible designs and creatures. You would think that it would be really popular, yet I have seen very few cosplays from it.

4.) Harvest Moon Franchise
These games are so fun. I love them so. And they would (for the most part) be really easy to cosplay from due to the simplicity of the outfits. It would be so great to see an entire ‘town’ of cosplayers.

3.) Ragnarok Online
The nice thing about online game cosplays is that you can make them your own. You can choose a different wig, weapon, and even accessories to make it your own. But have I seen any cosplayers at any Con I have gone to? Nope.

2.) Fatal Frame Franchise
I love spooky cosplays. There is just so much opportunity in Cosplaying them to get great creepy shots and poses. They also can be reborn for Halloween and Horror events as erll as Gaming and. Fatal Frame is considered to be one of the most popular ghost/horror games of all time and yet it’s super under cosplayed. Why cosplayers? WHHHHHHY?!

1.) Fire Emblem Franchise
I love love LOVE the Fire Emblem games and it breaks my heart thatI see so few cosplays of its amazingly detailed characters! I mean theres a variety of hair colours, armour, weapons it’s like a cosplay paradise! Even with the popularity of the ‘Smash Brothers’ games, Fire Emblem remains under-cosplayed.


So that’s that. I know I have never cosplayed any of these series myself (bad me) but I plan on it! Anywho, thanks for reading and I promise that next time I will post a ‘freaky’ post!
