    I’ve cosplayed as a Ghostbuster and Dr Doom at conventions, it’s a blast!

    Putting the costumes together gave me a break from computer stuff, which was nice, and gave me an excuse to obsess about my interests.

    Going out in public wearing a costume is always nerve-wracking. But the anxiety disappears as soon as you get close to the event. When I saw someone walking down the sidewalk, dressed as Megaman, I knew I was home.

    Walking around in cosplay at a convention is like being a celebrity for 4 hours! Everyone knows who you are, and wants a picture with you. As a Ghostbuster, I get high fives from every other GB (there’s always a bunch, young and old). As Dr. Doom, I had a 5yo girl (dressed as Minnie mouse) come up and tell me I’m her favorite. It was magical.
