Nekomimi

I've been meaning to write about this for a long time, but I just didn't have the time. Anyway...

During the autumn holidays, I went on a raid in our cupboard and discovered an old blue hooded sweater that I used to wear when I was about 12 years old. Well... I just love hooded sweaters with ears on them (especially nekomimi - cat ears), so I decided to make something similar out of this. I needed some help from mom, obviously, since I'm not that good at sewing yet... (-__-)' However, I did sew a lot of it by hand, by myself. After a while, it looked something like this:


1: my frog... :P 2: the sweater 3: nekomimi in progress 4: my cat tail

Since I was going
to my school to meet Eirik that day, I didn't have that much time. Soo... I just sewed the ears on to the hood, and fastened the tail with a safety pin - voilá! Neko outfit! It was quite fun walking down the street wearing this. :3

I found Eirik in the school library where he was forced to work while the rest of us were enjoying our holiday (haha!). We spent some time chatting and killing each other in Worms World Party. I love that game! FYI - I'm a pro with the ninja rope and the banana bomb! XD

That aside... Eirik was interviewed while I was there, by some lady from a Christian newspaper called "Vårt Land". (Anyone who's seen "Ut i vår hage 2" will understand why we thought this was so hilarious...) She told us she was working as a freelancer, and she was really interested in the things we talked about. She even said she's like to interview us about our interest in manga, anime and Japan! I hope she knows what she's started... :P Also, she really liked my neko outfit, and asked me if she could take some pictures. "Oh, and you even have a tail! That's so cute!"
XD Haha, it reminded me of cosplaying, it was fun!

Nekomimi rules - end of discussion.
