I live in a pile of fabric

[rose_of_pain]

A friend of mine came over today so I could repair a few things on some of his clothing and he in turn fixed up my computer some. But when he came downstairs into my little "den" aka my workspace, his reaction was the following...

"Woah. You're serious about this." In reference to my costuming hobby. XD lol

Yeah, I guess that's one way to put it. And then I got to thinking what this area must look like to someone who isn't really that much involved in the cosplay scene (he does go to cons and has done a few small closet cosplays so its not like he's totally clueless to it or anything). And "pretty strange" is what I came up with. I mean I have a hair dryer laying on the floor. And not for drying hair but for the sole purpose of molding materials that bend with heat.

...that and I've got a wig head propped up on a music stand. Or as Gabi used to call it back in college my "head on a pike".

But yeah he seemed pretty amused by the explosion of fabric that is my life. Sometimes I do try to clean it up but it almost seems pointless because it'll just explode again a few days later. XD

Sounds like the story of my life, except the room I work in is also the living room. Somehow with my sister here the living room managed to explode with fabric... I'm no sure what to do about it at this point.

I have the Tron Legacy bike sitting in my living room and people are like... WHOA. haha
