The "Who Am I?" Essay
I've always found it odd and difficult to talk about myself. It either feels like bragging or undermining myself, but I'll do my best. I'm a pretty easy going person and I can get along with almost anyone. I love to laugh and have a good time, and really enjoy the company of others who feel the same. All of my closest friends have a great sense of humor. I love meeting new people who share the same geeky ass hobbies as I do.
My actual "life" life isn't that interesting so I won't go into much detail other than to say I live with my little dog and he is amazing and I won't hear otherwise.
F.A.Q. Much?
Q: Wtf is a GimmeCat?
A: The gimme cat is a monster in Final Fantasy IX that asks you for a diamond. When you hand over said diamond it takes off leaving you with one less diamond. I fell for the trap and it cracked me up, and somehow I couldn't get over the pun. First off it looks silly as hell, and I can admire any sort of craftiness. And well, I needed an online name. I DUB THEE GIMMECAT. (Also, I collect any awesome GimmeCat fan art or screenshots so always feel free to send them my way along with the artist's name if its a fanart)

Q: What inspires your costumes?
A: There has been the occasional 'got talked into it' costume, but my preference is to make costumes of characters I admire or can somehow relate to. I lose steam and sometimes don't complete the project if my heart isn't really in it. Don't get me wrong, I love making costumes but its definitely a lot of hard work and its much easier to get discouraged if I'm not motivated by character interest.
Q: Can I use your picture for my website?
A: Sure, but please don't hotlink the picture; I'm on limited bandwidth. I also request you give me the credit (aka, link back to this website).
Q: Givith forth some noodie pictures?
A: ( o Y o )
Q: Dude, anon is tearing you a new orifice for being too fat/ugly/short/skinny/resembling-an-ape-with-downs on 4chan. WHAT DO WE DO?
A: Oh come on now. I didn't go into cosplay thinking I'd get all positive feedback. :]
Q: Can I link to you?
A: Sure!
Q: Will you link to me?
A: Sure!
Q: Can you make me this costume? I'll pay you some monies!
A: Did I hear the jingle jangle of rent money? The answer is maaaaybe I can. For more on that please send an inquiry to my Etsy store.
