recently lost someone dear to me about a month ago. Mason was our buddy
that used to invite us over to his house and bring us into this cheap
add-on room that was entirely devoted to his otakudom. Figures
everywhere, manga volumes both in English and Japanese, you name it.
He
had a modded PS2 that he used to play everything from Melty Blood to
Japanese Mobile Suit crossover Gundam games. We'd spend hours playing
anything from SFIV to Melty Blood, KoF, Guilty Gear, BlazBlue.
He
was always severely underweight, the guy was 5'9 and 110 lbs. Often
times he'd just say he was tired and he'd sleep in that day for like
12-14 hours. He'd also chug those energy drinks at GNC, redline and all
that stuff. Like two in a day.
Eventually he stopped hanging out
with us because he was just 'sick.' Never mentioned why. Then one
morning he just didn't wake up.
I still don't really know why he
died. I suspect he was hiding Leukemia or something like that from us,
in retrospect. Should go without saying, but I miss him.
Not really cosplay related, but it was recent. I used to invite him to AX all the time, hahah |
