Well, then, congratulations on getting your um . . . in my area we'd call it 'unconditional registration' ('conditional' until the first year has been satisfactorily completed)! Well done, you!
Sounds like you've been having an awesome time with the cosplaying. EVA cosplaying does tend to be pretty popular at conventions, I've noticed. Which can make ordering a coffee at the kiosk somewhat problematical. ('So, which Rei was the latte and which Rei was the skinny cap? The long black?') To be fair, I haven't been to a con in some time, but I rather doubt that particular aspect will have changed appreciably. :) I've actually cosplayed Haruhara Haruko myself. The best bit about the costume was the soft-foam guitar I made. Took longer than sewing the tunic or making the scarf, but it was very therapeutic to be able to periodically clobber people over the head when they were being particularly rambunctious and still claim it was all in-character! I'd love to see any photos you've got of your Canti outfit. Oddly enough, the first thing I thought when i saw Yomiko for the very first time at a screening of the ROD OAV at anime club (we only had the first episode fansubbed. It was a *long* wait to get the other two, I tell you!) was 'what the-? I could go to my wardrobe *right now* and cosplay this character! I wouldn't need to buy a single thing!' So, of course, when the opportunity came up I promptly did just that. I look forward to hearing hte updates of how your costume construction is progressing!
