the word meme: costuming

In an attempt to write about something that isn't fencing, I'm participating in this meme, as tagged by skill_grl:

costuming
home
physical fitness
sex
work

Some of these might get long and complicated, so I'm taking them one by one, starting at the top:

Costuming: I think I've always been a costumer, but it was a long trip figuring that out. ( history )

Costuming is, for me, a way to play, stand out, blend in, and experiment with different personas. After moving pixels around all day, it's a way of manipulating the physical world and getting my hands dirty. It's the joy of making something new.

My fantasy closet would have a meticulously researched outfit from every time period and place, and I'd be able to put one on and blend in - or stand out - perfectly, getting exactly the reaction (or lack of) that I want.

tweet silence

Evidently LoudTwitter died, so I'm forced to find other means of porting those over here.

I'm giving Twittinesis a swing - y'all let me know how these show up. I do plan to Tweet from Nationals.
