COSTUMES.

I went to Anime Expo 2008 and cosplayed from this thing called OS-tan. I think it was originally some sort of manga in a magazine and turned to a big-ish internet thing (among some people, at least). I went as Windows 98 and forced my 3 friends to go as ME, 2000, and XP.

I WENT TO AN ANIME CONVENTION. DRESSED AS A PERSONIFIED VERSION OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM. I FORCED MY FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME. I STILL HAVE THE COSTUME (sans skirt).

THIS IS WHY I'M SINGLE!

Oh also, did I already mention in another post the time I met a guy from the internet in Seattle at his house, went to the bathroom, and came out dressed as Yoshi? I WALKED AROUND IN THE COSTUME. OUTSIDE. IN PUBLIC. MAKING YOSHI NOISES.

When I was in first grade, my teachers (I actually had two teachers. I was in a class combining 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders. WOOOO RENO!) told the class to "dress up for picture day tomorrow." And dress up I did! In a white bunny costume. Clearly, "dress up" only had one meaning to me at this point. Everyone made fun of me, chased me around the playground, and some douchefag pulled off my tail. I cried and was possibly genuinely upset about my costume's lack of tail at least until middle school.

In third grade, I had my mother make me a carrot costume for halloween. It was a giant bright orange puffy triangle and the point at the bottom/middle made it look like I had a fat orange penis between my 3rd-grade legs. When I went to school wearing it for our class halloween party, everyone asked "are you a TIHNGY?" I yelled at them because, clearly, "thingies" didn't have GREEN LEAVES GROWING OUT OF THEM! (I had a green hat with silk leaves and shit on long stems). I still have that costume because it's absolutely amazing and in high school I somehow managed to squeeze into it again and have my friend take the most horrifying photo of me ever. I looked possessed and would show that photo to every cute boy I talked to on the internet because for some reason I thought it would make them like me.
