thepinkpopcorn: Ten Things To Do When You Feel Like Crap: 1. Have a really hot, long shower. Cry if you need to. Sit on the ground. Feel sorry for yourself. Let the steam soak into your skin. Let the hot water wash your face clean. But the moment you turn off that water, you are done feeling sorry for yourself. Make a decision to move on from that sadness. 2. Clean. I know, cleaning is boring and annoying - but how about that feeling you get when you are finished? The smell of the vacuum. That feeling of accomplishment? Who knows, you might even find money along the way. Totally worth it. It’s like starting with a clean slate. 3. Call a friend you haven’t spoken to for a while. If your first choice doesn’t pick up, choose someone else. Ask them all about how their lives are going and tell them about yours. Not only will it take your mind off whatever crappy thing you have been plagued by, but you will laugh with them! Laughing triggers endorphins and endorphins make you happy! 4. Go for a run or a walk. This gets your endorphins and dopamine going crazy. You will get more energy and more happiness just because the chemicals in your body are running around! 5. Stop and take it all in. Walking in the night? Stop and look at the stars. Breathe in the cold air. Feel alive.  6. Stop whining. Ever heard the saying “love life and life will love you back”? Or, the idea of the power of attraction? It’s true! If you sit around saying “why me, waaaaa waaaa” then bad things will happen to you. You’re already defeated. If you start saying, “I will be happy, I will accomplish my ambitions, I will find love, I do look amazing, I am a great friend” etc., then not only will you start to believe them but you will be amazed at what amazing things start to happen. 7. Drink tea. This always works. Not a tea fan? Try hot water with a slice of lemon and some agave syrup.  8. Make a conscious decision to stop holding certain grudges. We all have people we have held grudges on in the past. Let them go. If you feel like you owe this person an apology, don’t be too proud. Send them a sincere facebook apology. Sincerity is in the intent, so even if it’s a 2 sentence apology - as long as you mean it it’s worth it.  9. Cook some really nice, warm food. Stimulate your taste buds with anything as simple as two minute noodles or as lavish as a three course garlic bread, pasta bake, chocolate mousse triple combo.  10. Write down a list of goals to achieve for the week. As simple as “buy insect repellent” or as large as “jog for 25 minutes non stop” and tick them off when they’re done. You will feel very accomplished and that alone will help pep up your mood!

You can also try calling Lower’s or possibly Harbour freight.

From what I found online, home depot by you does have some eva foam, just not sure if it’s the thickness you need.

Isn’t that the foam used for play mats? You might be able to find it at Michaels but I’m not sure if large pieces are available.


Yeah, its used in play mats. I didnt think to check Michaels so Ill definitely try there!

I’ve checked Lowes but they didn’t have any, so I guess I’ll also run over to the Home Depot by my houjse to see if theu have it. I’m almost tempted to just get 1/2” thick foam. It’s too thick for armor making but there may be a way to slice it thinner..

I see some online but the shipping on it is horrendous. I need 1/4” thick foam to start work on my Thor armor but I cant find it anywhere!
I wanted to finish this commission but I have too much on my mind to focus on coloring. Guhh

Siiiiigh. Can’t I go at least a few weeks without my art showing up on someone else’s page?

I post templates and tutorials I do because I want to help other cosplayers who were just as confused as me. I don’t want to be one of those cosplayers who keeps all their techniques and skills completely hidden. But I dislike when someone posts my stuff up on their page as their own. I mean, I don’t care that they credit me, I want people to be able to find that help on MY page. It’s not like its a feature or anything, its someone posting it, and not crediting me until Tilly posted a comment. Which is to say if she hadn’t, then they wouldn’t have bothered to credit me?

It makes me not want to post those things anymore if people are just going to take it for their own…

Am I being whiney? Grah, I need sleep. /end of rant
