Check Up #12

So what have I been doing recently? 

Well, nothing really. Nothing to note anyway. I had my first vaccination today though which is good news and things seem to be opening up again slowly. I bought a new stripy top today which was nice although I don't seem to have the impetus to do much else recently. I used to enjoy shopping and having a look around clothes stores but the mood has changed now so it doesn't feel quite like it was before plus I seem to be running out of space. I still have a few worries about my living situation but that's hopefully going to be sorted out soon so if I can at least get used to a new normal it will help. I'm still very fortunate to have a job at least even if I do find myself getting worried about money a little. I've started captioning regularly again which is a lot of fun and there are some other sites I'm thinking about joining to write more prose. 

I've also been thinking a lot about cosplay recently and in some cases whether or not to continue it at all. I'm sure once the cons start up it will be nice to go to some again and there are still a lot of costumes I would love to wear but I worry about whether it's still worth it. There are people who can do this sort of thing a lot better than I can and it feels a bit pointless to try sometimes. I've never been one for full on female impersonation but I still think that I may need to start doing wigs and make-up, neither of which I'm much good at. To be fair, I haven't really tried with make-up apart from some Harley Quinn cosplay which involved me putting some talcum powder on my face. I've never liked wigs that much either - I always think I look silly in them. Me in a wig looks like me in a wig. Maybe I should just stick to the clothes but then there's a part of me that wants to do the look justice and that means trying a bit harder. Or maybe I'm just too old for it now although I still have a lot of friends who do cons so it's still fun when I'm going with them. Hopefully I'll get the chance to soon.
