Anime North.

Here is a photo of the Guys, the Crew, the Posse, the Gang, the Homies, etc. all dressed up in their home-made Cosplay costumes for the Anime North convention.  Don't ask me who they're supposed to be; which characters from what anime; I have absolutely no idea. from left to right is the 23 YR old's BF, my hubby, the 16 YR old ( she's not really  quite that tall; she is tall but she's wearing stilts for her costume which she impressively lasted over 2 HRS walking around in!), the 23 YR old and the 17 YR old. My hubby had to recycle and wear an old costume he'd made and worn from another year as the one he was working on for this year( something called Thanos, again I have no idea what it is but it sounds Greek) wasn't done yet so he hopes to have it ready by September for the next one, the FanExpo. They really, I mean really dig these things but I just don't get their fascination with it all, with anime and the making of their costumes and dressing up; it just seems so silly and lame to me. Oh, well, to each his own I guess. Whatever floats your boat. They literally have kicked me out of the family unit though just because I'm not into anime and don't share the same interests as them though. Pfffttt.

F*ck it.

Here are a couple of more photos from the 12 YR old's Confirmation as well, courtesy of the 17 YR old. I would have posted them up earlier but her phone battery died and she had to recharge it first before she could send me the photos. I know, there's always something. That should be my catch-phrase:

There's always something.

Here he is with the newly-installed Archbishop and above is the group shot of all the newly Confirmed kids, or as they officially call them, Confirmandi. (See, you learn a new word every day!) On the 29 th is also another upcoming birthday,too: one of the kids turns 20.At the Confirmation the 12 YR old and his sponsor ( a lady from church) had to be there 30 minutes before and my hubby thought it was 45 minutes before and yelled at me for getting the times wrong and thought I was just being------------(insert put-down here: choose one: stupid, forgetful, stoned,etcd...) again and got it wrong and he berated me and grabbed the 12 YR old and rushed out of the car barking at me,You stay here! You're not here!  dismissing me.....and as it turned out I wasn't inept or wrong and didn't mix anything up afterall and was wrongly accused: the info I'd had on the bulletin did say 13: 30 just like I'd told him,and the pamphlet  he was looking at said 13:15....it hurts me how he's always so quick to blame, to judge, to accuse, to hurt, and the looks of pure disdain, contempt, disgust and rage he always gives me hurts me to the core.
