have a look:



yeah its fanart from soooomebody, and i try not to use fanart for reference, but ryuuko hasn't been in the manga much yet, and there aren't any good full body pictures (ones that aren't half covered by his fricken 0 gravity hair.) i have a bunch of others, but this one is mainly for you guys. to get an idea of his character.

and i found these easy to modify patterns: [link]
[link]

see G and D respectively

i'll get to ordering them, but first i need to check walmart to see if they don't already have them in stock for super cheap.

as far as wigs go i'm in LOVE with the alex wig by Rene of Paris, but even with a bunch of searching it comes up to 90$. D: i found an alternative that could work with some styling, but i'm not all that comfortable with my styling skills... btw, do you think i could wear a wig with my hair down? as long as the color matched my own?

but i've been just taking everything one step (or day) at a time. when i finally decided to do my rvw cosplay, there was a period where i felt like i had to get it all done NOW, because everything just felt its was happening just too slowly, and soon after that i decided, I want to do a Ryuuko cosplay too! and i understood, its deadline would be 2 years from now, after i'm done with rvw, which i expect to be done by animazement next year. so i hoped to have it done in 1 year.

but ether way, i did a whole lot of research, when i didn't really need to, on ryuuko's stuff instead of rvw. but then again Ryuuko's cosplay is gonna be a whole lot harder than rvw, even though i still haven't figured out how i'm gonna do his hair loopy.

but my b-day has come and gone, and it seems like some things are finally starting to move, i've gotten my sewing machine like i asked for, even though its a kenmore, and it works great, like any new sewing machine should, except it still gets threads stuck in it when im trying to do reverse stitching. but it isn't bad.

as soon as i get the money, i'm gonna get some fabric and some patterns.

on another note, it seems that nanaya is making a come back in Monochrome factor. exciting, no? i should really get to writing ch2 of electricity... fufufu. while were at it, what ever happened to that itasasu fic? and i should finish chapter one of kuro! college and procrastination is sucking up all my time! what am i doing still writing here? gtg!

thanks to several cosplay tip videos on youtube, i've finally straightened things out. tribalbutterfly was a big help!

so who am i gonna do you ask? Rip Van Winkle from Hellsing! i mean, i'm only in the begining stages, but i've gotten a good collection of reference pictures and i've written down all the important details, fabric choice, and colors. i plan on getting a sewing machine for my birthday, so if i can't find the right clothing pieces i'll make them. but first i plan on going down to franklin street to check out the thrift stores (there are tons of them there)

checklist lolz
=black or slate/charcoal gray suit
=" slacks
=white gloves (i know one thrift store in particular that had some pretty decent white silk(like) gloves for cheap last time i went to it (but then again that was several months ago...))
= pink dress shirt (yes pink, she IS a girl, if rather tomboyish...)
=black tie
=memorize one of the songs she sings (ugh german)
=black leather schoolgirl style shoes (seriously. just take kagome's shoes and turn them black)

hopefully i'll have it done before march comes around. but you never know. also, if you happen to see something i might want for this, just point me in the right direction. i'll love you. i might even do a commission for it, or maybe in exchange for something you want to get rid of from the deep recesses of you closet.

oops back to studying!

they're finally realizing how bad they **cked up by skipping kakashi gaiden, and so they are making a special! and i must say, i'm elated, because i've recently picked up a crush on our favorite sensei... >///< and and kid!kakashi is just... asdfghjk it looks like they are doing a good job on the animation too, if the preview holds true.

but it turned out to be my adaptor... it voltage had somehow been reduced to such a small amount that it couldn't turn my computer on. and this could have been caused by the cord being wiggled and bent to much. which is odd, because i thought i was being gentle with it because my old one died this way too... ehh... its so weird. so from now on, i'm leaving my laptop on my desk! i enjoyed staying in bed all day.

but on to more stuff, i went to see harry potter and the half blood prince this past sunday with my friend. and i don't care what all you other people think! i thought it was pretty good! sure, i've read the books, and it had its disapointing moments, but overall i think they did a much better job this time than they did before on GOF.

it was heavily edited, with lots of scenes taken out, and new scenes added. i think it balanced itself out. felix!harry is like a kid with ADHD, and that alone made it worth the watch. lol. and the way they pulled off the harry/ginny made it slightly(SLIGHTLY) believable. though it does make harry seem like he's looking more for a quick shag instead of a girlfriend. which is how it should be anyway! it all works out in the end! Cormac/Ron ftw!!!! XD

i've checked the outlet, the cord, and the battery. and they work.

you see, when i plug my laptop in, with the battery, the light showing that it is charging turns on. but when i press the power button, the laptop doesn't do anything but make quick, very soft tapping sounds at a consistent speed. also, i have a tablet connected to my laptop. and when i hold the power button, the light on the tablet blinks but doesn't remain on. it goes at the same speed as the tapping sound.

i'm not going to do anything yet, i'm hoping that the problem will fix itself, .

i'm just writing this to let everybody know whats going on.

now, i don't know what others ight think about the anime's adaptation, but i have not read the book and have only read the first volume of the manga. so i you for biased for whatever reason, please be respectful of my opinion, or simply ignore this journal.

artistic, dramatic, heart wrenching, it seems all too cliche, and yet it does not fully express it. after watching, i rated it, but the maximum five stars did not even begin to cover it. so i think i should begin by saying that i have never watched or read something that moved me enough that i would cry. there have been moments in other stories that would feel tears come to my eyes, and feel a quivering in my lips. but this anime for almost a full episode and part of the next and during several other had me SOBBING, but somehow keeping my hysterics quiet enough to keep watching. it made me think, laugh, but most of all it kept me literally in the edge of my seat. but i think the most profound is just the completeness i seem to be feeling right now, just this quiet. only once before i experienced it, when i read the end of the manga for Death Note, but that was more a deeply disturbed feeling. i just feel quiet, and content to contemplate, and write this journal to you.

its another monochrome factor amv, but its set to "I'm super" from south park. basically, its shirogane being his flaming self.

but i'm not going to dwell on it much, because i have an idea for a kuroshitsuji amv.

on another note, i keep seeing creepy transformer slash fanarts... i guess there is good thing to staying up way too late... *looks at clock* yup, 3:00am

just got back from the anime club at the library. watch Spiral v2. have to say, it reminded me how boring it was. its like its trying to be deathnote, monochrome factor, and several other animes at the same time. it just isn't working. its all puzzles and strategy, but its just... MEH. it flops so bad. the best part of the meeting was the end when we got to listen to bloopers(LOLZ american voice actors are so baaaad). and the anime as a whole only kept my attention cause i was just waiting you ayumu and that white haired guy to finally get togethor for some (at least vague) fanservice. (which by the way, never happened).

but before that, i had added NoEIn to my netflix instant queue. which i have to say is AWESOME. but he i am again pondering the conundrum that i always get really into the fandoms that have an almost depressingly small fandom. seriously, noein is older than MONOCHROME FACTOR and its got even less fandom. there are only 10 fics for it on ff.net and none of them feature my favorite pairing. whcih btw is Yuu and Karasu. but i am conflicted. i really don't like shota or pedophilic pairings, but when i see relationships like this i just go, "BUT THEY'RE SO COMPATABLE!!!! DX" i have only watched up to episode 10, so i dpn't know what will end up happening. but i squee when they end up in the same room. there is this one scene where karasu backs yuu up against the wall, and hes like:

"YOU'RE SUCH A COWARD! YOU MAKE ME SICK!"

and then yuu is like: "what do get off on scaring children or something?!"(actual quote) " who the f*** are you?!"

"I AM you!"

"lolwhut?!"

"ZOMGWTFRAWR Tentacle rage!!!" (its true karasu's weapon of choice are these weird tentacle rope things that come out of his back...)

"Nuuuuuu!!!"

anyway, they are just so angsty!!! i love them. but still, karasu is 15 years older than yuu... not to mention they're the same person, just from different dimensions....

ack my flow has been disrupted. my mom just told me to go mow the yard, and if i delay too much she gets annoying and pissy.

so... ttyl?

eh whatever. i gave up on it a while ago, i'll just have to wait for aarin to finish the translation patch. T_T i made up for it by reading the manga. and all its done is make me want to play the game even more (because its the original). aaaaaaaaaaagh. also, the dj is very amusing with its crackyness

... either way, i got up to writing out of boredom last night. so i wrote my first... ah... i'm not sure how to label it... tropical fruit? i feel kind of traitorous, because up until i've always stayed pretty true to Shiroaki in Monochrome factor. but i recently completed an amv that featured brief moments of Nanaki, and i realized how much potential it had and had to write some... i'm still proof reading it, but i'll be posting it on my ff, y! and livejournal... (^_^);;; whats more, i think i could make a short series out of it... ehehehehe. *goofy grin*

also: kuroshitsuji doujinshi is EFFED UP.

NOT. all you teachers can go burn in hell. especially you ms. edgel, and mr. harris, and mr. stokes, and i might as well list off all the teachers that irked me in some way, which was pretty much all of them, oh and don't forget the administration. except maybe for ms. sink, pasco, runkle, and joyner (teehee a well placed ms.) they were alright.

despite what this might sound like, i'm actually in a rather good mood, i can't help but notice but i usually write in a negative way don't i? i feel like a i have to tag on a last minute to correct everyone's opinion of me...

anyway why am i in such a good mood you ask? well, its a secret. yarrrrr

well... idk i'll distract myself somehow... i'll finish pt.1 for the burdock/movement comic.......................... *headdesk* i'm distracted because there's a very annoying ad with Simon Cowell acting like a nutcase on it... its telling me to slap him... and i really want to...

on another note, emily has inspired me to play ff7 again, and i have found a way to do it. which reminds me of how sad it is that cloud and jesse never got very far, they had so much potential! DX. i may do fanart.

i had another revelation the other day, and its that if i tried, i could do a very convicing Haji (from blood+) cosplay. i was just looking in the mirror, and i just thought, my hair (when curly) looks EXACTLY like haji's. my bangs even do the right kind of gravity defying swoop naturally! so i preceded to fiddle with my bangs and put my hair in a ponytail and do a weird half jig because "i'm so sexy" by "right said fred" had just started playing on my computer's playlist.

anyway... that was my day, i always get loopy and a excited when my brother comes around.

and guess what my mom likes to make when my bro comes round? WAFFLES. EVIL BEWARE. WE HAS IT. X3

i also got lots of otaku regalia:
Monochrome factor v. 2 and 4 (they never had 3 in stock for some reason... stupid tokyopop, but even still its nice to finally feel them in my hands...*content*)
a total of 24 assorted pins and buttons. (6 of which were gifts for my friends)
2 Kuroshitsuji picture plates (featureing grell and sebastian)
a berezeneff keychain
an i <3 yaoi keychain
a sesshoumaru keychain (a present for Alex-chan!)
a mini print of some original artwork of sebastian
a Vincent Valentine=Hotcakes bookmark
a realistic figurine of grell and chibi sebastian (expensive but worth it!)

i wanted to get some shirts, but they were all a little pricey, and there weren't really any prints that i liked. :<

one of my amvs was put into the overflow part of the amv contest. it turned out to be deceptacon. i was happy, embarrased, nervous, and excited all at once. so much so that i can't remember it all that well. but from what i can remember, some people in the back were cheering, but i couldn't hear it well because a large group of homophobic guys were sitting behind me.

anyway, note to self and anybody else who cares:
NOIZ is a f*cking awesome bad
All Nippon Air Lines is a must read

it was originally going to be my mom, but she doesn't want to drive up twice. (you see, the registration booth for the con opens at 9am, and we need to be their early to beat the lines. but the check in time for our hotel room is at 3pm, and my mom has to be the one who does it because its billed to her credit card)

so if you could just ask your moms plz. idk i'll figure it out.


it occurs to me maybe one of us could drive. i only have a driver's permit, but i'm a good driver if distractions are cut out, i'd need help with directions anyway. but considering that there's supposed to be someone in the car who has a license, it seems rather pointless...
