TheIrisWish

If you want to find me, I'll be on my new account at

So I'll be cosplaying the protagonist from Humanity has declined. Also I'll be sitting on two panels, one for Humanity has Declined, and one for Heart No Kuni no Alice. I'm SO Excited for the panels, its crazy. I've ALWAYS Wanted to be a panelist, and its finally happening! My two panels have been approved, and I've been working with my people thinking of things to do and say and talk about to make the most of the time we have. Its going to be SO much fun.

As far as a second cosplay goes, I wish I could, but with the time I've got left? Its not going to happen. I'm going to be remaking blossom with better fabric and such at a later date because of reasons, and well, I might bring strength. Actually, yeah. If I do have a second cosplay it'll more than likely be strength. I love that cosplay and out of all my costumes, shes the best I've done so far.

If I had time I'd most definitely be doing Trixie from My little Pony, but realistically with my leg the way it is and the time I've got? ITs not gonna happen. Oh well. Next year will be better, especially since next year I'll be off school at the end of April and I'll have more than a month to just DEDICATE to cosplay without school getting in the way.

Heh... that last sentence shows my real priorities, doesn't it? LMFAO But anyways, I've gotta go do school work, I'll be posting stuff for you all soon though!~

I know its only February, but so far this year already has just been shoving me through the shit storm. I just got out of the hospital like, Sunday after being in for two weeks. First it wasn't too bad. I was in because I broke my ankle falling down my stairs, and tripping on something my cat knocked off my desk. Meh. I've been through worse. The nurses at the hospital were nice, and I had a nice room mate. He was 12, and broke his femur. Thats like, the big bone in your leg. But anyways. I was admitted on a wednesday, and they didn't get me in for surgery until Saturday. So pretty much I was laying in a hospital bed in agony as they continued to put me on and take me off NPO Meaning I wasn't allowed to eat because MAYBE I'd go in for surgery.

In all honesty, my first trip wasn't so bad. I was more concerned how much school work I was missing. My mom was there almost all the time, and if she wasn't there my grandma or friends were. Or my roomie's family was there, and they were pretty cool too. They gave me snacks and stuff when I could eat LOL They were such a sweet family.  but whatever. I got home a few days after the surgery, as soon as the pain went down and I passed Physio's test on my crutches.  This brings me to the second trip to the hospital.

I was home for not even two days, and my mom had to call the ambulance. I was dizzy and light headed, and every time I sat up, I'd pass out. My ears would start to ring, my head would hurt and my vision would go. On top of that, when I came out of it, apparetly I would shake and my pupils would dialate.


Well shit. I'm Epileptic. So of course this was one of the most terrifying  moments in my life. I've been controlled on my seizure meds since September. But there was also the fact that I was just started on this antidepressant my doctor proscribed me. There was a chance that it could make my seizures come back, but the chances were small, especially since we are pretty sure my seizures are stress triggered. So dealing with my depression should help right? Well luckily this wasn't the problem. Even though when it happened again when they sat me up for an x-ray of my chest, and again I shook for like, 20 seconds and my pupils dialated.  

Apparently though, what was really wrong was my red blood cell count. A normal, Healthy person's is between 120 and 160. Mine was around 70 when I went to the hospital. So when I went into the hospital, pretty much when I sat up there was no blood going to my head because I didn't have enough in my body. They had to give me blood 3 times before it actually worked. And WHY was it so low?

All the pain meds they gave me put a hole in my stomach.
yay.

So again I was in for almost a week.

If it weren't for the nurses being so nice, I would have gone crazy after being admitted. ESPECIALLY with my crappy room mate I had that time. She was detoxing from something, and was having kidney problems. Or at least they thought she was, but it was just period cramps?  She was yelling swear words with every other word, and we were on the KIDS FLOOR. (I'm 17). But anyways. After her it was quiet for a day or two, then they brought in a 5 year old boy who was cute but it was so sad hearing him when they put the IV in his arm ): Same thing with the baby they brought in the night after. But anyways. I'm home now, still don't know when I can go back to school,  but at least durring my hospital stay, I got SOME good news.

I GOT INTO COLLEGE.

THE PROGRAM I WANTED.

Which pretty much means as long as I pass everything, I'm fine
You guys don't know how happy that makes me.
That and the fact that it wasn't seizures.
I probably would've been in a lot longer, and a lot farther from home if it were.

BUT YEAH GUYS I'M INTO COLLEGE

FOR FASHION DESIGN.

STARTING SEPTEMBER I'LL BE SEWING LIKE ALL THE TIME.

I'LL BE IN SCHOOL FOR SEWING
My friends left and the nurses asked them who they were visiting, and they said me, and they were like "LOL DID YOU HEAR SHE GOT INTO COLLEGE? WE HEARD HER ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE!" LOL

But really those nurses were so nice. And the students are going to be such great nurses when they graduate too. They were amazing

OH and today I found out one of the panels I signed up for for Anime north got confirmed! Maybe I actually WILL be a panlist this year!!

but yeah.

TLDR: EMMA HAS SUPER BAD LUCK AND AND ENDS UP IN THE HOSPITAL WAY TOO MUCH, AND SHE GOT INTO COLLEGE.

I kinda abandoned you for Tumblr for about a year there, didn't I? I'm sorry DA. I'll try to share the love a little more evenly from now on. You guys can find me on tumblr under the same name  But here, lets make this a little new years post.

2012 was busy. Busy busy busy. Lets start from a little after my last journal. My panels at Anime north ended up getting cancelled because we couldn't find more people to help run them on time, and the registration closed on us ): But I still went cosplaying strength She was my best cosplay yet. I have big plans for this year's cosplays, not quite sure as of yet who they'll be, but hopefully Leafa from SAO will be on the list, and Blossom from the PPGZ. I need to pretty much remake my costume from Halloween for that one, with better material. Which means getting a job.

Which brings me to my next point. Once I'm done exams, I'll be setting up my own little etsy shop. I know I haven't really shown you guys my plushies yet, but I consider myself a much better plush artist than really anything else. I just switched to a nicer fabric rather than the pesky pilling fleece I was stuck with before, and as soon as I find something to work out for the hair besides felt (Because the plushies I make I would really want to be washable and felt is ... :\ blah) You'll see If you have any sugestions for who should be on my list of who to put up on my shop, comment here. I'll laso be open for comisions once I have pictures up so that you can see what you're buying LOL.

And then theres my TIW project I've been telling you guys about in my little line art post a little while ago.  The Iris Wish is the name of  a book I wrote for nanowrimo, that I've been working on the idea for for about 5 years now. I really can't believe its been that long, I can still remember the day the idea came into my mind. There was this children's author that came into my school in grade 8 (I'm in 12 now, YAY TO BEING A SENIOR???) And he was talking to us about writing books. He had more experience with children's books obviously, but one thing still sticks in my mind from what he said. He told us to write what we love, and also to take inspiration from the things around us. So what was around me at the time? Well I was bored with school, there was a big purple gryphon on the gym wall (No, shane isn't purple. but my school's colours were purple and white). So there was the base of the story right there. There would be a girl and a gryphon, and some sort of adventure because well, that all I really read. I was / still am a huge Eragon fan and that really rubbed off on what it was back then. The story was a LOT different back then. Hell, Gwen's name was Annette and Shane's still hasn't changed. She was an 8th grader and now I'm not quite sure how old she'll be. Probably a grade 12 because that makes a lot more sense with the story... And it would give her more of an excuse to be on her own traveling. Pretty much what I can tell you for now is that the story is about Gwen bringing Shane home, because hes obviously not meant to be on earth. Gwen meets a number of interesting people on her journey, and to say the least, its all just magical. This is what I've been building up to for a while, and I'll have SOMETHING for you guys rather than just a picture now and then as far as she goes.  

And no google spell check, I did not spell Gryphon wrong.
You're just being a meanie.
Ahhh... But what else is there to say.
Well I'm in grade 12, graduating this year and I'll be off to school in September HOPEFULLY for fashion design. Its a 3 year program and after that theres a year and a half for costumes Wish me luck, okay?


Anyways, I'll talk to you guys soon. I've gotta go work on my portfolio for my college app though.
If I don't post soon, have a happy winter wrap up as we head into spring
