What a long convention. '__' I always end up really tired the last day of a con, but I was tired through this -whole- convention. I don't usually have trouble getting out of bed. Sometimes I'll be difficult because I don't -want- to get out of bed and consciously decide not to XD But Saturday morning I physically couldn't get up -- DJ tried to remove me forcefully from my position as the human headboard and it wasn't working. The headboard is an awesome place to sleep, by the way. It's a nice cold headboard *_* and I was a hat on DJ's head sometimes and I hugged Jin's head a lot probably, and hopefully didn't kick Lindsay in the head but probably did.

I spent two of the three days in DJ's polar bear footie pajamas and a huge bear hat. Saturday was the only day I cosplayed. ._. I half-assed George Weasley -- the costume was just too hot and lumpy for how grouchy I was hahah. So I wore like half of the costume... and the bear hat. Then I wore my Death costume, but this time it was improved by hair extensions so I had that lovely 80's mullet ohohohoho~~~

Rae and DJ were Toph and The Boulder again and they were awesome and Rae was tiny and adorable <3 Jin was going to dress as Jin, but I still had the top to his costume and I forgot to bring it, like a good friend. ;;;;;A;;;;; SORRY JIN! That costume nearly killed me anyway, on the hang-glide at the park I couldn't see the platform with the sleeves in my face and oh my shins.

Alex and Lindsay slept on the hotel floor and they were synchronized sleeping *w* They had the tops of their heads together and one arm each crossed over the other's arm in exact opposite positions and it wasn't planned, it was awesome.

I refuse to be sleepy at the next con I go to! ;A; I always fall asleep on my face on a table or the floor and complain and whine a lot 8DDDD NO MORE OF IT YOU GUYS, I SWEAR (this is probably a lie and you all know it...)

P.S. I took no pictures, I still don't own a camera, fuuuuuuuckkkkkkk

Sorry for the douche-baggy expression on my face, I can't make many facial expressions right now anyway.

I got two new piercings! : D The eyebrow, and the vertical labret in the center.

I was excited because it's way cheaper in Georgia, without being seedy. Just an economy difference, so I figured I would get these while I was visiting. They were both cheaper than getting just one of them back in California 8D and i didn't have to sacrifice cleanliness or have an unexperienced piercing artist.
ijlskjgd i feel really awesome about these right now, ohoho.

because I really am done now. these are quite enough.

The labret really, really hurt... i had to go really far into that awesome happy place in my mind, you know, the one where there are unicorns and marshmallows rain from the sky, and some random naked old guy runs by awkwardly.
...it took my mind off the pain. WHAT.
It doesn't hurt at all now. I've never had a piercing hurt before, so it was unexpected. Guess I got overconfident hahah.

I printed stickers at home last year, but unlaminated stickers are kind of shitty and if I did all that myself again plus laminate I'd spend nearly as much as having it done professionally anyway
T ___T I don't understaaaaaaaaaand. I know it's a lot of work but come onnnn.

I'm not actually that sad though because I discovered Tofutti cream cheese the other day and I just sat and ate probably 6 tablespoons of it on these weird rice/quinoa crackers omg delicious. 8D
I actually hated the cream cheese when I first tried it because, you know, I was thinking CREAM CHEESE. But of course it doesn't taste like dairy cream cheese, duh. So now that I forgave it we are best friends and it's actually quite awesome.

I also made a cake from a mix that's made of chestnut flour IT'S AWESOME. It tastes more like something in the banana bread family so I had it with ... I can't even call it margarine. Margarine-textured, butter-flavoured yellow stuff in a squeezie bottle. SPACE FOOD. Anyway, I'm technically not supposed to eat any kind of nuts (shut up) but all it does is make my... head area itchy. I can deal with that for cake.
I HAS A FULL.
; w;

Now watch me grow fat on not-cream-cheese. WATCH.

SO I DECIDED I LOVE ITUNES even though I hated it just previously, I organized my music by "last listened to", put the most recent at the bottom, and started playing from the top and there are sooo many songs I forgot I loved, and a lot that I never heard that I really like! ; w; I even have this really weird and enjoyable remix of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. WHY DO I HAVE IT I HATE THAT SONG. But this remix is fuckin awesome. I rediscovered some XJAPAN I haven't listened to since probably 3 years ago, I decided to delete almost all of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs because all the vocalist does is sing one line over and over horribly and with the same kind of pain in every song except maybe one good song per album that I will keep, I listened to some terrible, ancient enka that I am keeping haha, discovered a J-pop-ish band called ZARD is really good despite the name, and I keep finding pretentiously named indie songs that are actually very decent.

The farthest away song I listened to was March 3rd of last year, Death Cab for Cutie - The Sound of Settling.
It's weird though because I could have sworn I listened to it recently. Maybe it was on my mp3 player. :S

HMMM ANYWAYS DUDE IT'S 6AM UH I GOTTA BE UP... at ten... I should have a nap.

PS CHIBI THOMAS FTW GO LOOK AT IT OR I WILL CUT YOU FOR SRS

So, as a lot of people know, and even more people do not know, I have food allergies. A lot of them.

Here we go: Lactose intolerance [milk, eggs, butter], Celiac Disease [gluten intolerance, which includes but is not limited to wheat, rye, barley, and spelt. Most grains, really.], and an allergy to all tree nuts [walnuts, almonds, pistachios, macadamias, pecans, etc. etc. etc., peanuts are OK as they are legumes, not really a nut], bananas, melons, avocados


I didn't discover this until a year ago, give or take, because food allergies aren't always like a peanut allergy. Most of them, you don't immediately stop breathing and die from. The allergies I have didn't start showing up until I was probably about 16, as many allergies lay dormant in childhood and then rear their hateful, disgusting heads somewhere after puberty. And mine continue to get worse.

I'm getting more and more sensitive to even cross-contamination. I used to be able to eat, say, oatmeal that didn't contain wheat, but was made in a factory that uses wheat in other products. Now, I get sick.

The years I was having allergic reactions but didn't know it sucked so hard. I was always sick, and had no idea why. And when it comes out of nowhere and you eat the things you've always eaten, who would think it was their food? You'd think, why would it make me sick NOW?

Symptoms were: Sleepiness, blurred vision, dizziness, elevated blood pressure, muscle fatigue, bloating (like you wouldn't believe, sometimes I looked PREGNANT. It wasn't jiggly and fat, it was like a fucking baby.), nausea, horrible nightmares, anxiety, constant hunger, vomiting blood, and... uh... other horrible things.

I discovered that the constant hunger was because, basically, I was slowly starving to death. Lactose just made me sick and nauseous, but the gluten was killing me. It destroys the villi in your lower intestine, making it nearly impossible for your body to absorb the nutrition it needs, and you even lose a lot of the fat your body needs to store. But at the same time, YOU CAN BE REALLY OVERWEIGHT. Which I was! Apparently, it's because, lactose intolerance paired with gluten intolerance causes your body to retain water everywhere, at all times. And you feel like you need to eat and eat and eat because... well, because you're not really eating. So on the outside, you end up thinking that you're a huge, fat pig when secretly you are dying of starvation.

When I finally figured out this allergy thing, it was EXTREMELY difficult to cut out all the foods I needed to (it's taken me a year to really, really do it.) But I've gone from 165 lbs. to 125 lbs., and now I know immediately if I accidentally eat something wrong. They fucking -hide- it, too! Things like "food starch" are actually gluten, so I have to check everything.


THE POINT OF IT ALL:
1) I felt like it, as typing something tends to make me stop talking about it over and over to my friends, and I was probably getting annoying to them.
2) Because -I- didn't know, I wanted to share the info in case anyone else was having these kinds of symptoms. If you are, try an elimination diet (see a doctor first!!) because it can hella improve your life and how you feel. Even though I can never eat cake or pizza or scrambled eggs or corn dogs (and thousands more things) again in my life, it's worth it.

THAT IS ALL. THANK YOU. 8D

At least my final in Illustration 1 is going to be pretty awesome, partially. The only thing terrifying me is the SIZE. Painting in gouache is already really, really tedious. Honestly, it's nothing like oils, and even though it's a type of watercolour paint, it is NOTHING like watercolour, either. Unless you've painted with it (correctly), I can't explain how much time it takes and it makes me cry. XD;; SO, I'm painting an entire illustration on a 15 x 20 inch board, in gouache, in less than a week, as well as assignments for 3 other classes during this same time. BUT IT'S THE LAST WEEK. I AM SO GLAD OH MY GOD.

Then I get to draw Christmas presents! *_*
I'm drawing for a variety of people, so... I'll be drawing a.. variety of things. How would you feel about drawing Batman slash, fairies, and Winnie the Pooh all in the same week? (Say nothing of Winnie the Pooh, or you die. And anyway, I LOVE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN. He was my 2nd cartoon character love. <3 The first was Peter Pan. 8D )
And I might even get to finish one or two of the three-thousand-odd drawings and pixel bases I have lying about everywhere that serve no purpose.

And then I cannot waaaaait for January. I'm going to be job hunting and apartment hunting, and when I'm not doing those things I am gonna draw so much shit you don't even know. Probably a lot of sketches, but I might do a few sketch dumps.
Bed-time for me now! I start my self-set-up finals schedule in the morning. T wT... I feel like a slave... good night! :V

I was wondering if anyone at all is interested in a chibi commission.
I've got a few recently in my gallery if you want to check them out.

It would be digitally drawn and delivered (no print). You would get a resized JPEG as well as the PSD files with all layers intact. And I do original characters, fanart, Gaia avatars, WoW characters, whatever as long as it is plausible to draw in my style. : ]

I spend QUITE a bit of time on these so I'm asking $20 each.
I sort of need to buy art supplies for this semester of school - especially my Illustration 1 class.

Please note me or comment if you're interested!
If you can't, don't feel bad, I completely understand. >w<
