I chose her because of the sentiment i associate with that game. It was my very first Zelda game, which I want to think i played around 6th grade. That game sent me into a Nintendo obsession. It also introduced me to cosplay, which, I would really love to revisit the first cosplay I ever made (Which was from that game!)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I still love all the other Zelda games. Skyward Sword and BOTW are pretty high up in my favorites. But Twilight Princess is just, so good. It&#8217;s so good. I would fight for all of the characters. So, of course, I would choose to do that version of her.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I got the reaction I was hoping for. As soon as I walked into the common area, I was greeted with a simple &#8220;Kerri Bland.&#8221; This is perfect, because that means this was not something out of the ordinary, but rather something almost expected and ironic. It was not a big deal. It was just Kerri Bland. sometimes that&#8217;s all you need to be.<\/p>\n<p>As for dancing, I found out I&#8217;m quite horrible at that. I did a thing called interpretative slow-dancing. Rather than dancing with a person, I got a group together to move in slow motion, and recreate some of the moves from the happy hands club in Napoleon Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5813\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzzz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzzz.jpg 3024w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzzz-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzzz-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzzz-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Still though, you don&#8217;t have to be a good dancer to have fun. I danced quite horribly, and had a blast.<\/p>\n<p>The food was actually really good too! I was pleasantly surprised at how much stuff was available. The decorations were also quite nice.\u00a0 I, of course, helped a little with set-up. There was a lot of work that went in from many students, parents, and staff. It really showed too! It came together quite nicely.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I just wanna thank everyone for such an awesome experience with awesome people. I can&#8217;t wait for next year! Now I just have to decide what I want to wear! I&#8217;m up for suggestions, but i&#8217;m thinking something Nintendo again. Maybe another Zelda, maybe a different character. Let me know if you have any ideas for the near future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5812\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzz.jpg 3024w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzz-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzz-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/zzzz-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months back, I made a post about what I had planned to wear to prom.
