It's been a while... again. Unfortunately I am not here to say I will be coming off my hiatus. Honestly, I think I am going on a permanent hiatus As you can see I decided to make a few submissions sort of trying to catch up.

I have been really bad about responding to comments, but I have read them and I am very grateful!

I don't think I'll be active really, exception of a few posts when I remember to upload.

I went through my gallery and put over 180 items in to storage to sort through and delete. I think my gallery is long over due for a cleaning.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me through the years, looking back it's pretty embarrassing; I can't believe you put up with me.

Anyway I am finishing up my convention season here shortly. I will be returning to Otakon this year at the beginning of August. I am visiting some friends in Washington State at the end of August and will be attending Kumoricon with them and that will be the last con of the season until Katsucon in February.

If you would like to catch up, talk, or just find me on a place where I am active I suggest following my tumblr if you have one.

Again thank you so much to everyone who has stuck around and I will attempt to be a little more active.

I'm so sorry. My last journal entry was from June, I've noticed. I sort of went on a hiatus without warning, but I really didn't expect to be gone so long.

I will remain on hiatus... with only a few updates here and there. I'm so sorry for all the unanswered messages and notifications, but I am very overwhelmed and some are from months ago

If you wish to find me elsewhere I suggest following my tumblr. It's where I am most active.

Best wishes and thank you for sticking around! It means so much to me. Thank you all <3

Wow, I've been for a while...  about 5-6 months now. I do apologize greatly D: As you can see I did some uploading from Tekkoshocon and Colossalcon, but other than that, I have not been doing much in regards to cosplay or photography.

Summer is now here, so hopefully I will get back in to the swing of things since I have more time on my hands (especially now that I am graduated)

It's been a rough year so far, unfortunately... which also contributes to my avoidance.

Also, due to financial reasons, as well as a lack of interest, I will not be attending Otakon this year.

If you wish to keep up with me, you can consider following my tumblr: tristiahna.tumblr.com (I am far more active on there, than I have been on dA)

Once again, I plan on getting more active now that summer is here, and I appreciate you guys

PS. Sorry if I have not responded to comments and what not, I am very overwhelmed and have over 600 feedback messages.

Katsucon was one of the best conventions I have ever attended. My friends were all amazing and I met some great people. I stepped out of my comfort bounds and participated in a panel, made new friends, and just had an overall fantastic time. There is so much I have blogged about, I don't think it'd be a good idea to put it all here. This is the shortened version. A lot is cut out due to length. If you wish to read it all, bless your soul, you can read it here: tristiahna.tumblr.com/post/434…

We got to the Gaylord around 6:30pm on Thursday since we hit some traffic. We all pretty much wanted to cry it was so beautiful. It all seemed so unreal that we were in Maryland, at the Gaylord, and I had made the drive by myself. The place was gorgeous and we had a balcony room (: Everything was fantastic. We considered going down and hanging for a bit, but we decided to finish cosplay in the room and watch PewDiePie instead XD

Friday I cosplayed Ciel Phantomhive in the morning, Alois Trancy in the afternoon, and Fay D Fluorite in the early evening. Because it was Valentine's weekend, we all decided to pass out Valentines ♥ We spent a good portion of our time in the Dealers Room and Artist Alley though XD

I participated in the Fullmetal Tsubasa panel held at 11pm. I was Edward Elric. Our group was pretty terrified about how the panel was going to turn out, but it all worked out. We actually were pretty excited about how well it all went (: We had a base script, but we strayed really far from it, so it didn't go quite as planned, but it was fantastic. I had so much fun with my group in that, I seriously love them all <3 You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jucfL7… ♥

Saturday I cosplayed Aigis from Persona3 and Ciel Phantomhive. I had someone ask me out on a date, unfortunately though, we had scheduling problems (since there aren't enough hours in a day) and we weren't able to do it.

While I was off with Sam, the one who asked me on a date, my friends decided to do a Valentines surprise for me. Billy bought me an adorable Sebastian plushy and were going to leave it on my hotel bed along with a few other things; but unfortunately I caught them. I was sad I spoiled it. It was the thought that counts I suppose haha. It was wonderful. ♥

After the Black Butler photoshoot, instead of changing like I initially thought, I went with Natasha and met up with Devin for a private photoshoot. It was a ton of fun, and was one of the highlights of the con for me.

I also got to be in 2 cosplay videos I have only seen one so far though XD But I was really excited ^_^ The first one is here: youtu.be/FDgZjZhVW9o (I am Aigis at 1:08-1:10)

On the way home on Sunday we ran in to some trouble. The beginning of the end started when my navigator told me to turn on a one way street, which I obviously can't do. I proceeded to pass it. After that I missed several exists due to traffic and unable to cross lanes which landed me in downtown Washington DC! It would have been all good and dandy, and maybe only add a half hour to 40 minutes to our time, if there wasn't some large event going on! The traffic was so bad it took at least a half an hour to move 3 miles. On top of that a ton of roads were closed down. I literally got us trapped in DC for like 2 hours. It was terrible, I felt so bad. But we finally did make it back XD My friends were all real chill about it, which was nice :3

But in conclusion, it was one of the best weekends of my life I love my friends so much for making it so wonerful. I wish I could recall everything, but I suppose the feeling is still there

I have been super excited for Katsucon for months now. I don't know if I've ever been this excited for a convention XD I don't have much of a schedule for it. I am not scheduling photoshoots for this convention. If you would like one, let me know and we can discuss it, but I'm not making any set-in-stone promises on times.

I will be driving down with Tashkun, StarryAry, and Rachel on Thursday. I'll also be meeting up with RaiinFaiiry a lot (:

I know a handful of you are going, so if you would like to meet up, let me know! :3

I will be portraying Edward Elric.

Cosplay Plans...?

--------------------
Event specific cosplays:
Edward Elric (for the panel only )

Lavi was removed, because I am stressed and don't want to bother with getting the wig re-styled before Katsucon

Draco Malfoy was removed because I was freaking out about it. I feel really bad ;_; But I just couldn't pull it together for Katsucon, because I failed OTZ
