I am officially 21!

Hello my freaky darlings!

So I have just turned the big two one! That's right yesterday was my 21st birthday and I had a blast!

Now don't get me wrong I have a few great friends but I didn't spend my birthday with them, my family is just so much more important to me so I spent my day with them but anywho...on to the day!

One of the best parts of the day for me was waking up and seeing that we had gotten a real pile of snow overnight!

This was a huge deal for me as the last few years for my birthday it has been either rainy or just plain bleah outside!

Oh and btw, I actually have an outfit picture! It's my first one so please forgive the quality!
 Hmmm...I think I need to clean that mirror though...

Anyway we headed out once we were all ready and went to our fave breakfast place, Cora's for delicious noms!

Sooooo goood! Not surprisingly I don't take calories too seriously...I love my body and that's good enough for me!

After breakfast we headed for a Curry's (which is an art store) so my sister could use her gift card from Christmas. Then we went to Chapters and EB Games, no I didn't buy anything.

At four we headed to my Dad's (though my parents are divorced they still get along really well so my Mom came to!) and this was the sight I was greeted to! My Dad is such a mush pie! He almost started crying when he saw me!

Dinner was my Dad's homemade burgers and french fries so everybody was super happy (which makes me happy) and we watched 'Despicable Me'.

No you are probably wondering, what did the birthday girl get as far as pressies?

I got prepaid Master Cards so I can go Internet shopping (squee!)

I also got more Funko POP's including a Sandor Clegane (aka the Hound), a White Walker (who glows in the dark), Gollum, a Darth Maul and a new skirt!

My absolute favorite gift though was the picture my sister drew for me! It's an entire page filled with chibi me's in different outfits for different series including a Team Fortress 2 me, a Pokemon me and a One Piece me!

(I promise to post pics of it once I hang it up on my wall!)

So yeah, overall it was an AWESOME birthday!

〜(^∇^〜）Oh and just to add to the birthday happiness - my Pokemon Black and White 2 game wished me happy birthday!（〜^∇^)〜

That was AWESOME!

Merry Belated Christmas!

Happy belated Christmas my freaky darlings!

I hope everybody had an awesome Christmas

December 23rd
My Christmas chaos officially started December 23rd when we went to see my Aunt, Uncle and 2 older cousins in Toronto!

We had so much fun! There was even carolers! Freakin' carolers! 〜(^∇^〜）（〜^∇^)〜

December 24th
Ah Christmas Eve! We spent the first half of the day waking up at my Dad's and eating bacon and eggs (my Dad is an awesome cook btw)!

Later on in the day we headed back to my Mom's for family torture, aka old people! Old people everywhere!

December 25th
My sister actually let me sleep in on Christmas morning! Amazing eh? We woke up around 7:35 (yes that's late for us) and had a unwrapping bonanza!

Ultimately I got:

•  An Edward Scissorhands, Leatherface, Tyrion Lannister, Khal Drogo, and Daenarys Funko POP figures
•  A pair of earrings and a necklace from Restyle
• A new backpack from Restyle
• 2 pairs of ear muffs and a matching scarf
• More chocolate than should be legal
• A new tripod for my camera

Tragically my costume did not come in in time (nor did my sisters) but if that's my only problem than that's the least of my worries.

So all in all I was a most happy little gothaberry this fine holiday season!

So about you all, what did you lovelies get for Christmas?

BTW I promise to add pictures of what I wore to this post once I figured out

 

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!

1.) My Anime North 2012 Cosplay!

This I know I am getting as my Mom decided that she planned on giving it to me ages ago as a Christmas present!

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!
