saitaina | Countdown....fuck I'm tired

My cloak (or the pieces for) are in the wash, trying to get the black dye out of them so I don't drip all over the mall if it rains. My THIRD mask is finished and resting out of reach of small cats, mum and myself so that nothing goes wrong with it, I have no idea where my skirt is...here's hoping I find it before I'm forced to wear shorts under my cloak...

And we're still 14 and a half hours to go.

I got six hours of sleep and have half a brain currently, mum's in line for my number.

I think I'm set!

Well, except the whole practicing walking in my cloak/mask combo and figuring out how to attach the damn mask without breaking it.

malaikawolfcat, I hope I see you there girl....well, as much as I can see anything out of my DE costume *grins*

Edit: I just checked my fabric for my cloak...there are large (LARGE) grey patches. Why do I have the feeling I might have to suddenly reverse direction and go as a Dementor? *headdesk*

Son of Edit: My mother is a bloody HUFFLEPUFF! There were a handfull of people sitting around, NOT lined up when she got there to get my number, and they told her she couldn't line up at the door because 'the line starts here' (which it didn't). Now I wish I had gone. Anyone with half a brain knows the line starts AT the gate, and if you're too damn lazy to stand there and endure it, then too damn bad for you. At least I'm number 18.

Mum's now scouring costume shops to see if anyone has a cloak.

Grandson of Edit: Five hours to go...I'm getting nervous.
