So I'm crying a lot right now.

Over dinner tonight, I went to dads. And we were talking about car crashes and stuff. And Whendi brought up a story about a girl dying on her way to school. She said the name was Amanda Reyes or something and it founded familiar.

She went and grabbed the paper and it turned out it was Cheerleader. This girl I met a few years back at this cheap-o anime-con. We went to school together and I would talk to her and draw for her and just hang out with her a lot. Especially last year after work. I'd hang out with Nick and her.

At first I told myself 'no it can't be her.' But after so long I realized it was. She was dead. She wasn't coming back.

She got a transfer to a country school half way through the year so I hardly saw her anymore. Last time I did see her was at work. She came in saying we should hang out sometime. I told her about New Zealand and the Leek N00bs and she said she wanted to be part of it and I said she could but she'd have to come hang with us sometime.

I don't even have a picture of her... I had a few on my camera but deleted them a long time ago to save memory.

The only thing I have left of her, besides memories, is a little glitter golden Hello Kitty eraser she gave me so I could draw her stuff.

I'm looking at it now and I can't stop crying.

Death has never scared me before, and even now I'm not afraid. I just wish I'd gotten to say goodbye. Say hello. Say anything to let her now how much I cared.

I mean, yeah, we weren't that great of friends but still..

I just hurt all over.

With the whole driving to Portland thing this weekend I'm a little shaken up but I know Cheerleader would have wanted us to go and have fun. She was suppose to go and hang with us...

I'll miss you Cheerleader.

A lot.

I know you're smiling down on me now telling me it'll be okay. I can hear you laughing at me and trying to comfort me. I know you weren't in any pain. I'm glad it's over now. It was just your time. But I'll miss you a lot.

Love you.

Kori.

So things are starting to look up for me.

Work is work but going better ish. We lost Tyler and Fifi is quitting like...tomorrow. Or she said she's going to call in 'sick' the two days she works this week. She's asking for it that's for sure... It'll be nice but also annoying because I'm sure Carole will cling to me about it all.

Getting new people either tomorrow, Wednesday or next week. I guess we're getting a total of nine new people. We got three and now we're getting them more and more each week. Good news for Carlina hopefully!

I'm working on an animation right now. Nothing fancy, I was just bored and have had the idea for a while now so yeah...

Oh!

Everyone know my neighbors? Who doesn't right? Well, when Kori gets pissed and snaps, she does it in style. People push me around too much but they don't realize how much power I have and when I get mad, I do indeed get mad.

I call my step-dad first. They were INSANE last night. Besides the constant on going thing. Last night around 5:30, I got home (after getting Toya fixed!!!) and they were there. I ignored their loud music and horrible singing, grabbing Slink and we headed to Fifi's for her b-day party.

Well those idiots like...ran at my car as I"m leaving, screaming and laughing and whatever the hell else. I just glare at them (not actually looking AT them) and leave thinking 'yeah, get in front of my car, I WILL hit you assholes'.

I get home around 9:30ish (because I have a new light!) and they're still in the parking lot. Screaming and standing right in my way. I have to dodge and everything.

Go inside and their music is SO loud I thought they were partying in my place. Whistles going off, bad singing, same F'ing song FIVE TIMES IN A ROW! And I snap. I'm shaking and feel like crying every time they're near so I call Jim.

He tells me a number to call, so I do.

The cops come but go to the wrong house (my bad mostly) then leave. I text Jim back (while trying to sleep at 10:10pm) saying they just moved the main party inside instead of the parking lot.

I recorded some of it in case you want to see it later.

So he comes over and says he can hear them all the way out in his car. He comes up and says 'um, yeah, that is WAY too loud.' So he calls his buddies in the station.

They get here and it goes deathly silent. They claim they weren't drinking but Jim says they had to have been to be THAT loud. I guess the apartment is issued to Ashley Hurst? The name sounds familiar. She's 21 but her sister that's always over is only 20.

Anyway, the cops leave and Jim stays around a while to make sure they don't come up and do anything to me.

They don't. It gets so quiet, I thought they all died. They didn't talk, didn't move, didn't take their millions of showers. They just stopped.

So with tears in my eyes I fell asleep for the first time in a long time.

We'll see if it keeps up. I'm still telling the land lord on Tuesday. Jim says he'll be tracking them now though. I guess the nice black car I thought was the BFs is really Ashley's and the shitty red car I thought was hers belongs to someone in the G building? I dunno why it's here then.

But he says he's going to do background checks and all this fun stuff on them. I guess he's been doing some but didn't know everything and now he does. Yay!

So I'm EXTREMELY happy over that.

Toya got fixed though too. Jim did that as well (yay!). Toya has a new light though not a new cover so it'll have to be replaced a lot until I fi that. The battery was so bad before, Jim says, that it was a wonder it ran at all. So he cleaned everything up and now Toya purrs in a 4-runner sort of way XD

Kcon is in five more days! Of course Cisne was all 'it's three days'. And i"m all 'how the hell you get that?' And he's all 'you can't count today or Friday so it's three days.' I'm like 'uh, I still have to go through those days. Duh.'

Um...Nick, Kristen and I want to do our masks tomorrow so if anyone else wants to join just tell us. They have the cheap dollar store mask stuff at the dollar store. Shocker right? So if you bring over glitter, feathers, glue and any other materials it'd be cool.

I have paints, markers and a few things here and there. Nick also has some like...sculpty stuff he's using for his mask so we can also use that if we want. I might use both? The cheap one for a mold or something.

Nick's mom is making his Kyon cosplay! I saw the tie and it's perfect for tugging on XD I didn't see the jacket but it'll be fine. Aunt Hollie can do anything. I guess they were worried about the cosplay not coming in time like last year. They super ordere... ]]> ~MoonRaiBlues http://MoonRaiBlues.deviantart.com/journal/26861293/ http://MoonRaiBlues.deviantart.com/journal/26861293/ Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:06:35 PDT

So I'm avoiding chores right now by typing this. Yay!

The coupons came in today... McDonald's has nine new coupons that are valid until...10/4/09. You know what that means? HELL FOR THE NEXT MONTH!! Gaah, I hate when we have coupons. Everyone uses them. They're like 'fufufu, I has coupon. Give me double the food bitches!'

I hate it...

Speaking of hating things...life has been suckish as of late. Fafsa stuff apparently takes 12 weeks to process and since I just got my info. for it...I won't have money for school when I'm suppose to be starting. That being said, I think I'm going to have to wait... I don't want to but if I have no money what am I suppose to do?

My neighbors are being rude...a lot...lately. More than usual. Today they've been fairly good but last night they were so loud and kept waking me up. Oh well. When I turn in my payment I'm telling the landlord. There's no way it can be allowed for them to have so many people over until like...5 in the morning.

Work has been stressful. Not enough people for shifts and when we do have enough, they call in. David and Tylor call in AT LEAST once a week. Yesterday they both called in 'sick'. They better be dying of fucking cancer to be calling in that much. But now David is suspended and we should be getting new people. Today we had three newbies start (or so I was told). More should be on the way though. Three will not nearly be enough. Hopefully that means Carlina will still be on board.

I have no money at of late. I literally had...15 dollars and 78 cents to my name since the rest of the money is for payments. Mom gave me 50 dollars today (I love my mom!) so I have enough to last me the next 9 days but it'll sitll be tight. Good thing my next paycheck will be a good one. I've been working 40+ hour weeks lately instead of teh lame 36 hours weeks. So I should have more money for oh- Food! I have nothing right now. I'm down to eating just ramen. -sigh- Oh well.

Enough with the emo though!

9 more days! Besides money it's...KUMORICON TYME!!! I need it. A lot. I'm so...tired and frustrated and always crying. Some fun with people just like me will be just what I need. Especially since the Leek group will be there this year! I'm sad brother can't go but she should be busy being in labor by then XD

Also!

I'm on my period!!! Which is normally a bad thing but it means I won't be on it during the con! So I'm excited about that! -shot-

Slink is doing good. We go to the park every couple days. Like today. He loves climbing trees and his harness fits better now. He's sleeping next to me right now actually. Sya hi Slink! '...no ma...'

Er...besides that? I've been trying to find my scanner cord but cannot. Nor can I find my video camera cord. So I can't post anything anywhere! grr!

Well...I really need to clean the house now...my parties always leave my house a mess. -sigh- Well, I'll talk to you all later!

Bye bye!!

Quick updates:

Been working. Thanks to people quitting (we're down six people :'D) I get more hours. I hate working, but I love the hours because I gets more money. The last three weeks I've had 40+ hours which is nice. Makes me smile.

But I still has like...no money because that last pay check sucked. Oh well. I made my payments and everything. I just have like...60 dollars to last me the next two weeks.

And speaking of two weeks...

KUMORICON '09 IS IN 13 MORE DAYS!!

I can't wait! I'm soooo excited. A lot. Period.

Slink is doing good, in case anyone was wondering. He's currently sitting besides me playing with this fuzzy yellow cat nip ball that is his new best friend. He's been suck a brat though lately. I didn't take him to the park yesterday (like I said we MIGHT) so he got all upset and started eating my pictures! Including this cute one I did of Shay-Shay. -sob- Why cat? Whhhhhyyy?!

And now the drawing party!

Monday night around...five? I'll say? I'm having my first ever drawing party! Because Bre had one and wanted to do one with me but the drawing aspect of it died...ish...

So I'm doing my own. If you're invited, chances are you probably know about it and guys- as much as I HATE my neighbors- we do need to keep it down. Stomping wise. We can talk and laugh however we want. Then again we'll just be drawing and watching anime most of the time anyway right? Yeah.

Bring your own munchies or drinks you want them because I have like...none. Maybe we can scrounge and get a pizza or something. I dunno.

I think that's it...

Er... what's coming up?

Monday night - Drawing Party
Tuesday - Getting Toya fixed (hopefully)
Thursday 10/3 - Cut and dye party
Friday 10/4 - Kcon travlings/pay day!
Saturday 10/5-10/7 - Kcon '09

I think that really is it.

Better get to work now. Ja-ne!

The last week has been fun but full...very full. Let's see...

I had Emily and Carlina spend the night and we partied.

Then the next night Bre came over for a while and we hung out.

Then the night after that Bre, Lori and Angel came and hung out. We went to Medford for dinner and had a...highly educational dinner at Olive Garden. XD

The night after that (friday night) I went to Bre's with Lori, Angel and brother for her going away party. She's leaving us again for six months so I'll never see her again. Le sob.

But yeah.

It was epic and crazy and with work on top of it I've been so tired. XD But I finally cleaned the house and got things organized and put away. Hurray! It only took some odd weeks to get it all done!

Tomorrow we're having a Leek N00bs Party Intervention thing for Nick. He jsut doesn't know it yet. Well he knows it's a party but not the intervention thing. Hopefully he'll go to Kcon with us after all.

Speaking of Kcon that is...20 days away!!! Everyone going with me needs to make sure they have stuff ready. The night before the con we'll have the traditional 'before con party' at my place. We'll get everything packed, washed and all ready to go.

Remember your money! The hotel cost is 402$ the entire night so that's close to 100 dollars a person. If you cna't get it all, try to get at last some...my money is tight right now because of the apartment and I'm already stressed out about the whole thing. >_<;;

But yeah. Hotel money and gas money. The gas money will just be like...each person takes turns or something whenever we stop, which hopefully won't be very much. If you want food, bring some money, otherwise, we're fasting the entire time!

I can't wait!

Drawing wise, I've had tons of inspiration lately. I just need to get my scanner hooked up XD I have a lot to post...

For those who don't know what's been going on...

The move is going good. Still issues with the itnernet but that's okay. The place is an actual home now for me. Not only that but now I has food! Mommy gave me money for food so I don't starve and now I'm loaded.

Slink is doing fine. He's on my stomach right now actually. He says hi.

Kumoricon is just around the corner and I'm really excited. I wanted to leave early Friday morning but I want to get my paycheck which is after 2. So I'll get that and we'll leave right away. I can't wait. Kristen is going. Mom says it doesn't matter what dad wants, she's the boss and she can go.

What else? Not much else besides that. I've been drawing on and off and once I get my scanner hooked up, I'll show you. Nothing good but eh, it's something.

Yeah. I'll post pictures and videos of my place later.

Some catch up.

Wednesday, I worked 7am-3pm. Not a bad shift. Then once I got off, I went home and grabbed clothes. Then I went to the apartment place where I spent half an hour reading through paperwork and signing things.

Finally a little passed four, I got my keys.

I went home, got my sister and we loaded the boxes into my car. We got most of them and headed to the apartment. We loaded things into the apartment (upstairs in 104 hot weather BTW) and then headed to Grandma's.

We got to Grandma's and got this cute little bathroom/kitchen set from here along with a little table and chair for my dining room. So we got those then went to Fifi's moms place and picked up Slinkerz.

Oh. Blair turned out to be a guy kitty and thus the name was changed to Slinkerz.

Anyway. Got him, drove back to the apartment, dropped him and his stuff off. Went to moms place, got the giant bean bag and the rest of my boxes. Went back to the apartment and unloaded those.

Went to Taco bell for dinner but they were having issues so it took half an hour to get anything. Then drove to dads where I got a few things and food for breakfast because I realized I had none.

Got to the apartment (9pm now) and went inside. Started unloading things only to discover how truely tired I was. Got online for a little bit then gonked out around ten.

-

Woke up this morning at 6. Went online for twenty minutes then got back in bed. Woke back up at 7:50. Got up, unpacked the rest of the kitchen stuff then made crumpets for breakfast.

Left the house at 8:30 to go see mom. She gives me some money and socks (X3). Go to her house and start getting the bookshelves and such. Get those and then run to the store to buy some groceries. After cleaning supplies we didn't have much for food.

Got back home, unloaded everything and put stuff away. Drove to Grandma's to eat lunch and chill for a while. Brought Slinkerz with us. Leave there and mom wants to go shopping. We drive home, drop him off. Then meet her up.

She buys me a TON of things so I'mm all excited. Go back home, unload those then call the electric company to get my account going. Yay power bills. Go to KFC to buy mom lunch. Go to the bank. Go back home, show dad the apartment. He gets Kristen and they head to Medford to get her social security card. They leave and I decide to spend that time napping.

I lay down and ten minutes later, my phone rings. Ignore. Half hour later, mom's at the door. Once she leaves, I try again. Two minutes later, phone goes off. Three minutes later, Kristen is at the door needing her ID. She leaves. I decide to check the electric thing online.

Now here I am checking in until they get back and it's onto the moving at dads house. Tomorrow we're doing the big things like bed, Tv, book shelf, etc.

Now, to try and proper nap...

So... I have to talk to the landlord today. -deep breath- Moment of truth whether or not I get my place!

I'd like to buy a vowel please?

Is that your final answer?

The correct answer is...

I GOT IT!!!!

I was soooo nervous today! I thought I was going to throw up! I was freaking out thinking something would be wrong or whatever but nope! I got it and they were really nice about it ^^

But instead of K202 or G203 I get A202. Same design as K202 which is nice, so I'm excited. I was going to move in tonight but I'm tired an still have packing to do...

So tomorrow at 3:30pm I get my key and I shall begin the move! I'm soooo excited!

Thank you everyone for all your love and support and for those helping me move, hope you're ready for Thursday and/or Friday XD

As a side note...Edit thing:

I probably won't be on a while because I'm not sure how the internet situation will work out there. But trust me, I'll be back!

So just a random update.

Work has been work. Whoo-hoo. Carole said my weekends will probably change from Thursday and Friday to Tuesday and Wednesday. Which is fine by me. I don't really care what days they are XD It'll be cool though because this week have Thursday and Friday off, and then next week I'll have Tuesday and Friday. So it's like...I'm off two days, work three days and then am off two days again. Fun fun.

I plan on using those days for...MOVING! I still don't know 100% but I am 90% sure I'm moving into my apartment this week.

I also have my college placement test Monday. It'll be a busy day. 7-3 I work. Go to the post office for my Birdgett stuff. Go to the apartment place. They close at 4:30 and then I have placement test from 5:30-about 8:30. Whoo.

What else?

I bought kitten stuff! A black fuzzy bed, some kitten food (food stuff), a double dish (blue), a purple jingle bell collar, a blue harness and a blue collar for park walks! She'll learn to love them.

That's it for now I guess.

Vocaloid cosplay for next year's Kcon. I want it sooo bad XD

For those who don't know/ didn't catch it; I've been having an awful week. Lady trying to kill me, lady complaining at work and being a bitch at me about it, Danielle being a bitch to me about orders, apartment doubts, kitty drama, etc.

Well today I feel better.

Monday, after venting to Emily a bit (<3) I decided to quest for a one bedroom apartment for a while. So I went Tuesday to the Riverwood-apartments again and asked for one. But they were full.

Okay, whatever.

So I decided to go back to the original plan of a two bedroom, one bath. It was cheaper and easier. I got the paperwork and after talking to the lady, she said it'd be easier to live alone until Carlina gets a job.

So today at work, Carole tells me some awesome news. Every other week for the next, who knows how long, we're going to be hiring new people. We have a few people quitting and a few people leaving for a while, so we need others to fill in. That means turn in as many apps as you can if you want a job!!

We got this new girl Sarah, but I give her a week.

And speaking of filling in shoes. I took Kyles place in grill. That's right. I went from assistant production manager, to full blown production manager. ^^ I get paid the same and everything, but I get bigger responsibilities and people have to listen to me or else.

Made me happy.

I got my pants today for my Bridgett costume, but they were a bit too small so I'm trading them for the next size bigger. That's kind of a bummer but the only bad thing that happened today.

Anyway. Filled out that stuff and turned it in today. She looked it over, said it looked good and gave me the key. G203. Not K202 like I wanted, but it was cute still. Smelled a bit like smoke but I can deal with it and get rid of it with some 'breeze.

So she did more paperwork, I signed stuff. Tomorrow I go in to give her my 30$ money order for the screening. She said by Friday they'll know if I can move in or not. I hope I can!

Also, I needed a name for my kitty. It was on the paperwork my cat had a name. And after thinking of possibilities, I gave her one.

Blair.

Why?

Because that will/would be the name of my first born baby girl. Since she is my first official pet, I thought it fit. I almost went with Emi but she reminds me more of Blair and she has black fur.

Tiana and Kava were other options, but Blair stuck.

Now, we're off to get ice cream for my birthday XD Long story short. My b-day was in april, mom never celebrated it because of some Amanda drama, so dad felt bad and is now making up for it.

I hope things are getting better.

Oh! And also with the apartment! Instead of paying 635 for the 2bed. 2bath like it says. Since they sold the last one, she said I'd have to settle with a 2bed, 2bath but I only have to pay the other price. So 615 a month instead. X3

All and all, my week is finally good.

Also! It's my Friday!

So...I need to vent.

Today was a boring day at work. We hardly had any orders but every hour or so this HUGE, and I mean HUGE, group of Mexicans. I'm not racist but they were and no offence, but they always eat a lot. Any time a Mexican comes in for breakfast they get: breakfast platters and/or chicken biscuits. Two things we run short of. And for lunch they get: Big macs and chicken sandwiches. Not too bad but a pain too make and they take a ton of them.

Then they ALWAYS leave the lobby a mess...

Anyway. This group came in every hour on the dot to eat a ton of food. We know. We timed them. Since we opened to when I left a half hour ago, they came in every hour, ate an hour then left. When I left I saw them just sitting out in the parking lot. It's like 'hello! Get a life!'

But that wasn't the main part of my vent anger for this journal.

SOME PSYCHO LADY TRIED TO KILL ME ON THE HIGHWAY!!

Why? Because I breathed in her general direction.

I pulled onto the highway right? And this semi was in the way of the slow lane, so I moved over into the fast lane. This lady comes up going at least 100mph and starts blaring her horn at me. I jsut ignore her and the second I get a chance, I move out of her way. You think that'd be enough for her right?

Nope.

She gets along side me and blares her horn again. Being the good driver I am, I just ignore her and keep my eyes on the road. She honks some more and starts going into my lane about to ram me off the road. I quickly look over at her and and try to swirve away and she speeds away again. I'm not sure if she just wanted me to notice her or what but it freaked me out.

So she gets way ahead and of me and I try to stay as far away as I can from her. Well I get behind a semi truck, so I move back into the fast lane. Crazy lady waits until I'm right behind her to SLAM ON HER F'ING BRAKES! I slam on mine and the car behind me freaks out and slams on theres and soon everyone's getting pissed at me.

The chance I get, I move back into the slow lane, between two semi trucks. I hate hate hate behind between those things but I'd rather deal with them then some lady who's got me in her death note.

Jeez.

I usually don't get road rage, but this lady was pissing me off and trying to kill me for no reason than to start something. If I wasn't busy freaking out I would have gotten her liscense plate and called my step-dad about her.

Instead, I call my sister who is at a friends house, tell her how shaken I am about it and she just laughs and is all 'oh no, it's just my sister' to someone on the side. So I slam the phone down and just go on driving. She calls back and texts and whatever but I just ignore her.

You don't laugh at someone when they almost could have died.

I should have let psycho lady hit me. I could have sued, maybe got a new car. Then again I could have also almost died.

I have pictures for you all. Some of my Larp character, some of our first Leek N00bs shoot (most will be posted on said account) and then some other andom things.

Um...I think that's really it. Besides work, nothing has been going on.

I just got done visiting with Emily. She's like a zombie XD

I'm sure she'll tell you all the fun and nasty details when she gets on soon (she's trying to last until night but she's been up 24+ hours). But she got me this ADORABLE Haruhi figure. I've been wanting to get the set for a while but they cost so much online, but she got it for me and I'm so happy. >w<

She also got me some Naruto keychains but they're lost...

Nick got this AWESOME uchiha fan so we're going to do a photoshoot wiht it this week.

I really have nothing else.

Got back from camping last night out at Iron Gate. It was fun and I'm glad I got to go this year but it was soooooo hot! It was 130 when I left around 2. Thankfully the water was perfect temperature so we stayed cool.

I actually lay out in the sun a good portion of the time and I'm still white as snow. Then again, my sister put five layers of sun block on me >_<;;

We danced, we sang Repo, we told stories by the fire, we tubed on the water (four of us in the same tube!) and we rode bikes. For only going a day and a half it was a ton of fun.

The only bad thing was that I lost my necklace... My really cute and pretty Naruto seal necklace I always wear. I realized around like...ten or something that it was gone but it was too dark to really look around. Yesterday morning I looked for hours but couldn't find it. I think it fell off in the water, which is weird because I didn't jump in or anything.

Oh well...

I got my paycheck and like I thought it was a nice one, so with it I bought a new necklace along with my Haruhi cosplay. Yay. It was the cheapest one on my list so I could spare it a little.

Still no apartment. I found some cheap one bedroom ones but they either have no utilities or are waaaay too crappy. The nicer ones are in the 500-600 range which is a rip off because I can get a two bedroom one with utilities for the same price. And I don't have enough money to make payments on one for now. I guess with the money I have saved and the money earned a month I could do it, but it'd be a tight budget.

-sigh-

Oh well. Maybe I'll have to do the party house route after all.

Off to work now! Buh-bye!

Sooooo...

Work is going good. I am doing more of the handing out orders and backdrive things. Today I learned how to register so I was running back and forth for two hours between grill, counter, backdrive and hand-out. It was fun but a bit hard.

New burgers Tuesday! AMAZING!! But huge... And a pain to make...

Sensei is leaving me forever!!!! AND EVER!!! ;A;

Kittens are adorable!

Boyfriend might be visiting in May next year for a Yugioh tournament or something. It'd be cool because I do miss him even if he rushed things a bit.

No apartment yet, but soon!

My placement test for RCC is in a month! Hope I don't fail! I've already forgotten everything...

Book ten of Tsubasa! Only 11 more to go until I'm caught up re-reading!

RP anyone?

Working on Kimber pics for you but I'm going to take my time so we'll see what happens.

So guess what bitches?

If you didn't know has quit DA. Why? Because of all you flamers, complainers, whiners and fucking retarded bitches! She's an amazing artist, she's fun and has a kind heart and you know what? You just break her.

What the hell gives you all the right to say shit about her?

Some of you know her IRL. Some of you know her online. Some of you have known her for years and years. Some of you have known her only a few days. Does it matter?

No.

I'm fucking sick of all the shit people give one another. To quote Mean Girls: Calling someone ugly doesn't make you any prettier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter.

It's the truth.

It's not just her either. Everyone flames, everyone rants, everyone complains. I do it to. Look at this journal. Everyone does it but sometimes people do it just to cause drama! I've been guilty of it once or twice. Never online. Text and typing is just a cowardly waste of time no matter how you break the ice.

It's their life. Saying things like 'OMG, you're art sucks!' doesn't make anyone feel better. NOT ONE PERSON! I'm willing to bet even you don't feel happier saying shit like that. It's like 'yes! My day was made because I made fun of this girls artwork! Look at her trying! She's not a professional! I could draw better with my eyes closed!'

Seriously?

You're all just stupid and I hate you.

It's not jut DA either.

It goes on in our daily life. It's human nature to dislike people, to not want to be around people. But why not take that hate and generate it for something else. Sing about it, scream it into a pillow, rant in a poem. Don't go to the person and say 'I hate you'.

You know why?

IT DOESN'T FUCKING HELP ANYONE!

I draw. I pimp out my DA. I sing aloud. I write. I dance. I do tons of shit that doesn't look good. Doesn’t sound good. Isn't ' professional '. It's called Fun.

FUCKING FUN!!!

I've done this rant many times! If someone loves singing but they're tone deaf, are you honestly going to tell them they shouldn't sing at all? If someone loves drawing but all they can do is stick figures, should you flame every thing they do? If someone wants to do something so bad but they just aren't good enough, they're just not fucking good enough, are you seriously going to be the person to cut them down and ruin their dreams?

Someone yesterday told me all I ever do is draw crappy artwork. It was a little comment, it was out of rage, but it still hurt. My entire day was ruined just because of that. It's not fair.

I know I'm not good at anything but do I honestly need a reminder? Can't you just say something nice for once?

You know those so called 'crappy' stick figure pictures? The ones no one ever looks at. I go to that persons page and I comment them. I favorite them. I say 'keep it up, you'll be great one day.' They always smile and give hearts. They're day is made because of something like that.

Everyone was a baby at some point. You think the great artists, the great singers, the great dancers, the best lawyers, the best WHATEVER! was that good their whole life? No! They started out being a child who took the time to practice and never give up.

What if everyone in the world gave up because of a comment like 'I could do better'. No one would ever be good at anything.

What if everyone in the world gained a level of skill when a comment like 'good job' came around.

Instead of saying 'you suck' why don’t' you say something like 'it looks good but here are some things to work on...' At least that way you're giving positive feedback and helping them out.

I challenge everyone reading this. Every day for just a week, say something NICE to someone you don't know. Go on DA's front page. Look at the 'just in' artwork. Pick any that catches your eye and comment on it.

Go on youtube, on facebook, on gaia, I don't care! Just do it.

You'll make someone smile.

It's too late for some but others are just waiting for that extra boost of confidence...

Want to know why suicide rate are so high now-a-days? It's not the knife doing the damage. It's not the gun. It's the flames.

I'm done.

Think about it bitches.

Peace out.

So...I was worried again today.

Because we found the perfect place but Nick wouldn't move until late August and Carlina wouldn't move until next month. The rent was 825, electricity (the only not included) would be 110, and a pet costs 200 the first month. So 1,135 roughly. But then there was a 600 down payment which brought it up to 1,735.

Basically, I can't pay all that myself.

So it was either, no kitty and wait to move, or figure something else out.

And found the solution XD

We're going to move into a smaller dwelling until we get the perfect ones. It'll just be us two for two months or something. It's around 700 a month. It doesn't give all the utilities like the other place, but it still includes a good portion of them and my parents can help me set the rest up.

Pet included too!

Plus, there's a spa, gym, it's right by walmart and it's a nice little area.

I can't wait! We're going to go look at them on Thursday or Friday and then we'll see if we can move or not because right now we could move if we wanted to.

We just need to furnish it and such. Anyone want to donate? :3

I'm kidding.

So I was like..hung over when I went into work today. Not really but after the crazy party thing, I felt like it. Not that I know what a hang over feels like...

Anyway!

I got to work and the first thing they do is throw me onto the table for a lunch rush. Well that's normal. If only. Too bad Cisne was cleaning the usual side so we had to go on the other side of the table. EVERYTHING WAS BACKWARDS! So I was hung over feeling, tired and on the wrong side working backwards.

It was terrible.

Once Kyle got back, I got stuck on...get this...JANITOR F'ING DUTY!!! I went from Assistant Production Manager to...Cisne level! I almost cried! Like seriously...

I got stuck cleaning the Qing Ovens (which is a fancy word for microwave) for an hour.

Later I found out it was because I'm a good cleaner and pay attention to detail. And I can see that. Cisne cleaned the table undersides and they looked like crap compared to my beautiful shiny brand new looking Qing ovens. So I was pleased.

The rest of the day was better but Vicky was there for a while changing things so Kyle got all upset. And later I got so tired I just wanted to die. XD

Oh well.

I uploaded stuff for you all. Nothing much but the start of some more things.

So I'm kind of emo right now because I'm going to see my kitten on Sunday. She's already almost three weeks old. You know what that means? Not long until I have to get her and take her home.

Problem?

I don't have a home to take her to...

I planned on getting our place soon and both Carlina and Nick confirmed we'd move together but now they're saying it won't happen until late August.

That's a big problem... So I'm either going to have to move into a place by myself or I'm not getting my kitten.

You can see why I'm freaking out. I'm ready to move out now. We found our place but it won't be for like...three more months until the three of us move into it if we still do.

So right now I'm trying to find cheap places I can stay in until they can move too. I'm still not sure Nick wants to do it anyway but we'll see.

It sucks though because we found the perfect place, great location, great neighborhood, includes everything you need, two story, perfect ammount of bedrooms and bathrooms for only 900 a month. That's 300 between the three of us which is perfect!

But I need to move within the next month and so for now I gues I'm on my own.

Anyway, I jsut had to tell you all that because I'm really nervous now and all this shit and I just need some reassuring or words of advise or whatever. Or distractions...

Pool party after math:

Swam for a half hour (maybe?) played Rock Band 2. Made Naruto characters to play.

Watched Mean Girls and ate nachoes.

Cosplayed. Went to the park for a photo shoot but the sun was going down so it was a bust. It was still fun though.

Came home. Played more video games.

Ate ramen! Ate ice cream and cheesecake.

Played Bleach and Naruto for the wii.

Played with hamhams. Yes. Hamtaro.

Played Naruto but I passed out during it (this was around midnight-ish).

Nick went home. Carlina and I do sketch book things while Emily does stuff on the computer.

Carlina keeps coloring while Emily and I decide to play connect four...epic fail at 1: 30.

Emily and I start watching random old school videos and stuff on my laptop while Carlina tells me about her RP charries.

We skim through the 2nd Naruto Shippuuden movie. Raw so we don't know what's going on.

Then finally 4: 30 we decide to sleep.

Set up our stuff, get in bed and finally get ready at 5. Sun starts coming up and Carlina and I go crazy. So tired, we're hyper. Emily looks like she's going to kill us.

We laugh for ten minutes straight (give or take) until we finally do fall asleep.

Wake up at 8. Make waffles. Watched Repo, genetic opera. One of the best movies ever. Drop Carlina off around 11. Come back to my place, and sleep until 4.

Nick comes over. Drop Emily off. Eat DQ. Play Rock band. Go and rent Repo. Watch it. Talk a while. Drop Nick off. Come back.

Here I am.

Quick update on the pool party!

(I use 'quick' a lot in journals don't I?)

We will be having it Tuesday afternoon! It is a sleep over! I will pick some people up if they live nearby! Those invited know who you are! Sorry for those who can't come... My parents would kill me if I let the party get too big...

We will be watching movies! We will be eating foodz! We will be drinking soda! All that fun stuff we usually do but it's an all nighter! Nick will probably spend the night too but chances are he's not going to rape us in our sleep or whatever. -rolls eyes-

Ummmmm... We're going to watch Mean Girls! Why? Because I was shocked to find out Nick and Carlina haven't seen it yet and it's an amazingly funny movie so we're watching it! We might watch a Ginger Snaps or two also, because they're like...the best and Nick loves them.

Bring cosplay! Bring sleep stuff!(?) Bring a munchie!(?) Bring a swim suit! Even if you don't plan on swimming, bring it anyway. If you have another movie or game or something you want to watch/do/or bring...bring it!

I think that's all the details... If you need more, just ask.

I'm tired and depressed and lonely so right now I'll just do a quick update.

Art wise: I've been working on ruffles. I'll post when I get something good.

Comic wise: Fail Series is going well, I have a few rough drafts floating about. Once I get a few pages or so, I'll post them.

Party wise: I do have Tuesday and Wednesday off so we can have the party either Monday (after work) or Tuesday. I want to buy a bunch of food and stuff for us but last wednesday driving back and forth everywhere all day and going to Medford drained me of money. Stupid gas. I've already refilled my tank like...three times in the last week and have to last until Friday for more money. -sigh- So the party won't be as cool as I wanted it to be. But cosplay, pool, movies and rock band should make up for it.

Cosplay wise: Kakashi will be here Monday. Officially.

RP wise: Emily and I have one going right now that's pretty fun. I'm finally using Naruto Kori for something XD But she's different than the SE Kori and I have a picture to prove it later.

Work wise: We're still hiring. I work 6:30 tomorrow and Monday. Thursday I work 11. Fridaay and Saturday I work at 9. Same as this week pretty much. I get paid Friday. Yay.

Kitten wise: Still no name and she's still so cute! She's getting use to me I think. She's very clingy, which I like.

Apartment wise: Still no word on anything but I want to move soon. Carlina and Nick both are in process of getting jobs now so the dream shall become reality soon. I can't wait.

Just quick updates.

Parents are leaving as I type. Mom isn't leaving until Monday night but that's okay. I'll tell you all when we can do the pool party thing. I'm willing to bet it'll be on Tuesday and have a sleepover and such but we'll see.

I am finally starting the Fail Series!!! I plan to do it Bleedman style. Coloring wise anyway. We'll see what happens. I have tons of arcs already plotted so stay tuned!

Kakashi will be here by the party! Yay!

I'm re-reading Tsubasa RC right now because I got caught up and wanted to remember what was even going on XD I love it so much. I forget about it for a while then read it and then love it again.

I forgot what else I was going to say so it must not have been important.

I WANT TO MOVE OUT!!!

I'm dying here wanting to move out of my house! Mom like...gave me tons of stuff for my apartment today and now I'm really really psyched. She gave me a giant bean bag, a really tall, relaly nice book shelf, a 45 piece cutlery shelf, a 16 piece silver porcelain plate, bowl and mug set. A bunch of chopsticks, my purple fan, some mugs and cups, a few plastic plates and silverware. Things like that.

Carlina will probably move in with me! I'm excited!! She's getting her job soon so that's cool. Nick should be getting one too. In fact...I think I'll call him now.

Hm...my phone is dead. Anyway! He needs to get a job/have a job/ or be looking desperatly for a job. Because I'm moving with or without him.

I plan to move in about seven weeks. My kitty should be good by then, my savings should be good by then. Everything should be good by then... Hopefully. Plus if they get their jobs soon, they'll have at least one paycheck by then so that should be good enough.

Alright. Besides that little rant...

Going to the mall on Wednesday. Must. Not. Spend. Money! Okay...maybe one book. NO! I can't! >_<;; Blarg, but it'll cost me twenty or so dolalrs to get us there and back. -sigh- Oh well. It'll be fun.

It's my weekend so it makes me happy! A lot. X3

Well off to watch stuff and draw.

So hai everyone!

Here's some stuff for youuuuuu:

Wednesday is the last day of school which means more hang out time with people and more mochi for emily! As such, I wanna cosplay/larp in the all sports park wednesday! I don't work that day and it's half dya so if you guys want, we can hang out and doooo stuff. Get food, have a picnic, climb a few trees, beat Sai. Ya know. I work at 11 the next day so staying out late isn't a problem with me. Maybe we can finally have our movie night?!

What else? Um...I bought manga last night. Not all my stuff but enough to satisfy me for a little while. I wanted to get all the books i needed but need to be saving money. -sigh- Stupid money. Love and hate never went so well together.

For those who don't know. My parents are going out of town but now the dates are different. Dad will be gone (which means I have the house to myself) the 12th through the 22nd. Then mom will be gone (and I'll have that house to myself) the 22nd until the 28th. We need to do a pool party!! Buuuut I am not available on the 22nd and 23rd because that is inspection day. I can't even dream of asking for those days off. XD No joke.

Kakashi cosplay should be in this week...maybe? I really don't know. It took like...a week to figure out the measurements so it's probably going to be a while longer but it will be soon.

Speaking of cosplay... I want a photoshoot real bad! I think when pepsi and I are making our next video, I'll do a Naru shoot too. I just need the wig... I want to do Fem!Naru mostly since the wig is easier and though I'm not that pretty, I'm too pretty to be a guy... Maybe once I do get the spiked wig it'll be better but eh.

What else-y else? I really really really want my fox beanie/hat but I don't have money for it yet... I want to get it because it's only 24 dollars but I cna't because I need to save money. >_< But I wanna be Kyuu!Naru a lot. A lot a lot...oh well. Another two weeks and maybe then.

We went and saw Up yesterday. Never has a disney/pizar movie made me cry so much XD It was sweet but I got teary eyed like...four times. Once was out of laughter though. When Alpha is in his chipmunk voice and screams 'squirrel'. Oh jeez, the entire theatre died. XD But it was good. I recommend seeing it, especially in 3D.

I'm done typing now. I'm so hungry...must eat food...

Ah jeez. Sensei tagged me.

List twenty things about you then tag people. Here goes (forgive me if I repeat):
1. 'Kori' has nothing to do with my real name in any possible way.
2. I got paid two days ago and already spent 70 dollars of it B3 (but most of it was gas)
3. I'm a cosplay addict (but it's better than drugs right?)
4. Charcoal/pastels are my favorite medium.
5. I do most of my 'best' work when I'm half asleep. Or half awake. Whichever.
6. I can sing in over ten different languages (And somewhat know what I'm saying)
7. One of my life goals is to meet Crispin Freeman (road trip to Cali anyone?)
8. Another life goal is to get amnesia for a day or two.
9. I am a fan of 2D frame-by-frame animation movies (especially older ones with song and dance)
10. I like being pet on the top of my head like a kitty (mew?)
11. Drawing has nothing to do with the career/s I want to persue (hence why I don't bother trying)
12. All my friends are better artists than I am.
13. Besides spending hundreds of dollars on cosplay, I have over 1,500 dollars worth of manga at home (manga, not books)
14. My favorite color is actually pink not purple.
15. I sleep with countless stuffed animals on my beds (but I do play fvaorites)
16. I like to pole dance (and I wish I were skinny enough to do it publicly)
17. Another life long goal is to meet/act in a Tim Burton film.
18. E.T. still gives me nightmares (I have to close my eyes for some scenes)
19. I eat McDonalds just about everyday OoO (but I eat healthy stuff! Jeez)
20. I'm a great liar (bu I didn't lie in this so don't worry...or am I lying?)

I tag pretty much everyone who reads this. OMG! YOU'RE NOW INFECTED! GO DO THIS NAO!

So what's going on today?

Carlina has graduation, I really hope it doesn't rain on her! The weather has been so weird lately...it's like this every year around graduation though. How bizzare right?

I've been drawing a lot more lately. Mostly because of the subscription. Go figure! I dunno why it just makes me want to draw more.

I bought my first commish. yesterday! I'm really excited because it's from one of my favorite Naruto fanart artists! It was really cheap to. 26 dollars for a full body colored photo of NaruAna. Because if you didn't know...they're my favorite couple as of late. They always are but yeah...

I get paid today and I'm really excited because it should be a good one. Next pay check will be even better though because it's my year anniversary of working there. Which means they take the average hours I work a week and pay me for it! Whihc emans I'll get like...200 dollars or something bonus. I can't wait. It means I'll finally be able to get my cosplay. I'm almost hoping to move out around that time. With or without anyone. I'd rather be with people but if they don't have jobs it makes it harder.

My Leek N00bs fail series is coming along great. The RP is helping me with ideas to move the story as well as get character development down. Kristen helps too to bounce ideas off. I just need some kind of character design for Alex. I could do one but I don't really know him well enough to make a good one. So if anyone out there wants to make one, it'd be cooooool.

Anything else?

...I don't think so.

Not much to report...

I have a subscription now! Why? I don't think I deserve it as much as some other people I know but I was bored and sick of seeing the whole 'want to do this? Haha! You need to buy stuff first!' So I got it. I must say it's a lot of fun XD

And cheap! Compared to like...WOW. A subscription here is really easy. Well, I'm off to draw and mess some more with my DA stuff.

Oh! What did I want to say?

...nope nothing right now.

Laterz!

First thing: We're hiring at McDonalds right now and desperatly need people. We just had three people quit this week and with summer coming fast, we need more help. We need a service person for sure along with another grill person. So anyone out there wanting a job...go put in like a million applications and check back every couple days! I want people to get hired who don't suck at work...all the people we have now are either really really good or really really bad and inspection is coming soon.

Second thing: If you haven't heard. My kitten was born last night! Fifi's mom's cat Koko was Preggy (like everyone else I know) and Fifi said I could have one of the kittens once their born. I'm getting my own place and all and since my puppy has to wait I thought I'd get one of the kittens. Last night five of them were born. Two white siamese looking ones like their momma and three black ones. I'll have to bond with them before I pick one but yeah. I'm going to see them Wednesday day and hopefully go once a week for sic to eight weeks until I can take him or her home. If it's aboy, I'll name it Naru. If it's a girl, it'll be named Mochi. LIKE THE BONBONS!!!

What else...

The game?

Today will be much better! Dattebayo!

I had this dream last night, before I forget, and it was based off Underworld 3 which is like...one of the coolest most kick-ass movies eveh. Plus is has wolves in it. What's not to love?

Anyway. The dream was really short because I only had five minutes until my alarm went off XD But it was this girl vampire (who had naruto whiskers?) who was in love with this guy werewolf. And the wolf was prisoner to the council of vampires blah blah blah all of that sounds familiar.

But there was a new werewolf who was his little sister or close close pup friend or something. That's right. Kori was there XD

And so the vampire girl and werewolfy boy wanted to be together and meet by this cool lagoon area outside the castle. Kori was an escort and lead the girl to the spot (because I guess she belonged to her?). And they started flirting and stuff and Kori was just sitting there all happy puppy like.

Then this vampire guy came who was betrothed to the girl and took her away and locked up the guy wolf and all that fun stuff and he's all 'I'm telling my mommy!' Not those exact words... I guess he was prince of Vampies or something.

So he took the guy, the girl and Kori back to the castle. He locked the guy up and had the other vampires like...beat him and torture him and stuff. The girl was locked in her room. And he decided to keep Kori so she was (yet again) happy puppy.

He had this brilliant idea to bring Kori to the council meeting with tons of hungry vampires. Yay...? So she was all nervous but I guess the vampires didn't want to eat her because she belonged to the prince. They were being all nice and stuff. It was creepy.

The prince dude started telling his mom about it, and while he was, Kori noticed the girl vampire slip around the corner. So she went to follow her. And she was all 'me and -insert wolf guy's name here- are meeting during the full moon. Don't tell.'

Kori ended up planning all this stuff and when night fell (in five seconds) she took the girl back to the lagoon where a bunch of humans were partying. Then Kori went back and freed the guy so they could be together for a little while anyway.

While they were together, she went back to the meeting and started playing on this chair thing. The whole room looked like a chess board with the vampires in different spots and I guess Kori's spot was spring loaded or something because she started bouncing on it and being weird to distract them.

And it worked for a while.

Then the prince vampy got pissed and like grabbed Kori and smacked her against the wall (she whimpered all uke like) and said that she better tell him where the girl vampire was or else. And Kori was just all 'master I wouldn't betray you like that.' Then he bit her to see her memories...

But I woke up...

Anyway, it was really cool and now I wanna RP me some underworld 3 XD

In other news...I beat TWEWY last night. I was stuck on Joshua for a little while but after I got to Beat the rest was easy.

That dragon boss at the end took me like...seven minutes to beat though and that whole 'you beat me! Oh wait! Haha, I can heal myself!' thing was so annoying I was getting pissed off.

But the whole Joshua thing was shocking. I love love love him and then he's all 'oh yeah...I am evil after all. Haha.' I love his laugh XD

But the ending was adorable and the song was cute and on my ipod now. And I almost cried because it was so adorable. Though I must say, I prefer emo Neku to happy-go-lucky Neku. The whole throwing off the headphones thing was too uber predicatble but whatever.

Sorry if I just ruined the ending for anyone out there...

TWEWY art will be coming soon though. And for those who don't have the game or want the game or even know what it is...you need to. If you like Kingdom Hearts at all, you'd like this game. It's a lot of fun and for a DS game...very very addicting. Anyone out there like/play KH Chain of Memories? Fighting style with cards sucked ass right? Well you fight with pins in this one and the fighting style is amazing. I would play TWEWY anyday to KH. XD

Anyway, that's my review on it.

Lots of happiness, lots of anger, lots of tears. I don't usually feel those emotions unless I'm RPing YD or something. XD Now to just go through and get 100%...

I don't work tomorrow or Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I work 11-6 which means I can sleep in.

Parents going out of town in...like two weeks. Mom's going to Florida for a week and Dad and Pepsi are going to South Carlina for two weeks. That means I'm going to be throwing some parties if you're interested... ~MoonRaiBlues http://MoonRaiBlues.deviantart.com/journal/25021523/ http://MoonRaiBlues.deviantart.com/journal/25021523/ Fri, 29 May 2009 19:28:45 PDT
I got to sleep in today, which was nice for a change. I worked 11-6 which is an annoying shift but it wasn't bad.

At around...4 ish, one of my best friends Roxanne came to see me at work. I haven't seen her in four years so it was a real treat. I only got to spend half an hour with her, but it was still cool.

Work was fine and afterward I went to Carls JR since it has been a long time. Well, no one I really knew was there since they were training newbies. Brice was there and waved to me but he was on the phone. Then Ramon came over and we chatted for a bit. He's actually not that bad. I can learn to like him. Since he's going to be my brother...er...sister-in-law?

I've been in a drawing mood but haven't actually been drawing, but I think I will be drawing more soon. Can I say drawing once more in a sentence? Anyway, I'm going to end up drawing a manga series thingy with the LeekN00bz Fail Series. AND ACTUALLY DO IT!!! I may end up sticking it on the leekn00bz account though or a seperate account altogether depending on how big it actually gets.

Speaking of LeekN00bz. I don't work Tuesday or Wednesday. I work Thursday and Friday 11-6 so if we want we can hang out those days still too. Thursday around 6 or so I want to do the movie night. Cosplay, food and movies! Because, apparently, most of our group hasn't seen Mean Girls and it's an amazing movie. XD

What else else else?

The high schoolers are out of school now! Carlina and Nick, congratz! The rest of you have until next week but that's good enough. X3

First off, I'm going to be a bitch and rant a moment. Yeah it'll be heartless but I don't care so much at this very second. Tena, I'm sorry, but I can't read your DA journals anymore. I can't stand to look at them. They're either ' pity me, my life sucks' or they're obnoxious quiz things. I know it's mean but it's true. Everytime I see a journal from you I feel angry and annoyed. I don't even bother to read them anymore because they're just grrr!

Alright. I'm off that rant.

All things aside, Carlina's Anko costume came in the mail yesterday and I'm dying to see it! On her or off her, I don't care! I just want to see it XD Emily's Kakashi costume should be in soon too which means...photoshoot!!! Summer's coming up and before Emily leaves us and everything, we need to do one!! Let's get it going.

Another thing! I want to a Leek N00b movie night kind of thing. More than likely at Nick's place because, well, that's where we do things. It'd be fun to do it someitme soon though. Maybe a 'end of the school year' sort of thing? I dunno.

My Naru-kun necklace should be in soon, which means I'm going to finally work on my wig. I haven't even looked at it in months. I need to do that. If it turns out too awful I might stick to getting a long blonde wig and being Naru-chan. Or I'll just buy one but I'm suspicous about buying styled wigs online. But we'll see.

What else else?

New Haruhi is awesome!!! It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, but it was still good and I'm wanting more! Too bad I have to wait like...three weeks.

Work has been work. Whoopie. My next pay check will be good though so I'm excited. Hopefully I can get my new cosplay. I've been spending all my cosplay money on other people and I'm not sure if I'll have all my things in time for Kumoricon which is right around the corner. -sigh- We'll find out.

Kita and Kai stuff is going on right now. Blah. Not in the roleplay but I'm all about it for some reason lately. Crazy I know. But during it, I looked through my DA. I have like...no Kita/Kai stuff on this account. I'll have to change that.

What else-y else?

I'm working on my Leekerz dress-up game but not really. I need to sketch it out first on paper then scan it, then ink it, then flash it. Then make the stuff and buttons and over all, it's a day project and I wasted my days this week so it'll have to wait a while longer.

It should be cool when it's done though.

i think that's all I've got for now.

<3

Monday I work 7 to 2 so if emily's thing is still going on, I'd love to go.

I don't work Tuesday or Wednesday so we can do things Monday or Tuesday evening. We can hang out Wednesday too but not very long.

Friday I work 11 to something...

Then Saturday I work...

Blarg.

Anyway, who ever wants to hang out ever, just tell me. Anko should be in this week too so...yup.

First off, the second season of Haruhi started last night. It was epic. I mean, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be but it's just the first episode. they're doing it mixed in with the Japanese run of the first season too. Which means they'll be randomly added, which is kind of annoying but oh well. New theme songs and all, but no new dances. Darn it...

Second of all, we have boatnik going on down town. 50th year running. Crazy. I usually don't like going but this year I really want to go in cosplay. Carlina, Nick, Kristen, Tena and I went for a little bit yesterday out of the blue since it wasn't busy and everything was really really cheap. It was fun but I sure wish I had more money with me...

Speaking of money, if you didn't hear about my money problems, here's what happened. I deposited my paycheck for 531.40$ into my bank account and well...somehow it read it as 5.31$. Before I could change it, it started to process. I freaked out.

So I called the bank and they were all 'well it's still going through so it might get fixed. If not, call again tomorrow and we'll see what we can do.' I was thinking 'oh great...I'm f'ed.'

Well I was checking like...every hour waiting to see if it would change. Around like...2 in the morning there was still nothing. I was a little worried thinking I'd have to call and do all this crap and blah blah.

This morning it was fine though. It was all there. I had a feeling it would be okay but it still freaked me out.

And during all this crisis, I had my RP to entertain me... Naruto and Uriana hooked-up! Whoot! Who didn't see that coming? -raises hand- Totally kidding. It'll be fun though because Uriana's all like...torture driven. Which is fun because Kyuubi is there. I can't wait. I have evil plots. I know none of you care about it, but whatever.

I'm working a new project right now that's leek noob oriented. I'm not sure if I'll do everyone or just those on DA. But we'll see. For now, it's not started but I will be stating it soon. Don't expect it anytime soon, but it will be...eventually.

What else...um...nope. I think that's it for now. <3 <3

So for a long time, I've been just a lazy little bitch. I have a million project and just too lazy to start/finish them.

Well, I think I've redeemed myself with these lastest projects.

I have an AMV with crazy lipsyncing that needs to be perfect before I can post it. I have a regular MV with Pepsi and I that we decided to do one night that is just being a pain altogether. Making it more trouble than it's worth but I'm going to stick with it. I have an art trade with Em that I got to finish. I have a few manga screens I need to do also since I've forgotten about those...and a few gifts are involved.

Lastly, my birthday gift to Harle. I've been working on it...four hours so far today. Straight. I haven't eaten or bathed or even dressed yet and I'm sure I need to do that.

But it's coming along great! I have six days to get it done so I'm hoping to make it crazy epic. I'll post it here so you all can enjoy it as well.

Hope she likes it >_<

Now, I'm tkaing a break to go eat and take a shower and such.

-yawn-

10:40.

Maybe I'll take a quick nap before starting up again too.

I'll keep you updated!

EDIT: I finished both the MV and the gift. Hope everyone enjoys both of them!!

About...seven years ago this summer (give or take) I was RPing Teen Titans on neopets. I did this daily for many years. This girl pops up Arcticharlequinn and joins as a made-up. Starfire's cousin Watera. I being Starfire chatting with her a lot. Well, even after the RP died and people left, the two of us continued over PM and such.

We ended up doing a teen titans second generation with her characters. I discovered she had DA (which made me do it as well). Then we moved onto MSN a while later to start some Fruits Basket stuff.

As the years have gone on, the two of us have put up with a ton of shit. Lots of tears, lots of laughs, lots of rape. I mean...lots of...not rape!

We've had ups and downs and she's just me bestest friend in the entire world. I have a few but she's in the top three I'll tell ya that. (Not to brag!) She lives in Alaska for those who don't know, and I plan to go see her next year around Feburary. (Saving now)

Anywho. She's like my best friend and it's weird because most of the time we just RP. Yet at the same time we know a ton about each other and we're just amazing friends and I love her in the most dramatic non-lesbian sort of way.

One of my biggest fears is the day we stop talking because of careers or families or something. Then again I have been fearing this since we first met seven years ago and here we are! Love ya Harleh!

Sorry, just had to rant a moment...

Harle's big 18th birthday is coming up the 25th and I finally know what I'm going to get her! It'll take lots of blood, sweat and tears but hopefully it'll be done in time >_<

Aside from my Harle lovings, let's see...

I got my new wallet today! For those who didn't/don't know; I have this Haruhi Suzumiya wallet I got from Kcon last year. There were two choices so I got the best one which is Haruhi in her Sagg. gear. It's cool and I love it but on the back it's got the HaruhiIsm logo and then 'Nagato Yuki' at the top. WTF? Yuki? She's cool and all, but I don't want her on my Haruhi wallet.

So I got this new one that's yellow and bright and all around summer-y which is great since summer is here. It's Haurhi on the front in her summer outfit and the back is her in a maid outfit and ponytail which just reminds me of Kyonko. All and all, it's epic.

Also, I got my new t.A.T.u CD in the mail. I got 'tATu the best' which has all their best hits, remixes and three never been relseased singles. Right now, basically, I'm sitting here basking in the glow of the tATu-ness, typing this and moving things into my new wallet.

Over all, it's a nice feeling.

And now I'm getting a s'more poptart. Yummy.

Or pizza rolls... Which are awful for you but soooo good.

Well I need to get to work on Harle's gift. I just had to tell ya that because, ya, I update you guys with everything so those that do read/skim thtough can know what's going on in my life because, well, I'm very open.

Later dayz!

Tuesday
Wednesday(I'll be off at 4)
Thursday

And maaaaaybe we can go to Boatnick in cosplay for Saturday or Sunday evening if you want? It'd be fun >X3 Pepsi and I plan to do things so if you guys want to join just let me know.

-

At work today, somehow, Randi and Michelle started talking about gibberish. And they were all 'we're the ketchup and mustard'. And I was on headset so I could hear them. Then Randi was all 'Kori can be the meat between us.'

That turned into a huge thing.

Soon, everyone was being assigned food or drinks or sauces depending on their personality. I said Ryan should be Onions because he's gross, no one likes him and he makes people cry.

Wil was a milkshake because he brings all the boys to the yard.

Ciscne was a pickle because he's sour and bitter and Randi said crunchy. I dunno.

It was a fun day though over all XD

-

My Harle is leaving me for two weeks...

I'm going to miss her birthday which makes me uber uber sad. I'm going to have to get her something anyway though.

Until she gets does get back though, I have my Harle Substitute! Not the same...but it'll keep me alive!

-

Um...

If you seek amy is like...one of the greatest songs in the world.

I don't care if you don't like Britney Spears or not, that songs is clever, fun, upbeat and just amazing.

I sing it all the time now.

Plus I jsut like saying it.

If you seek amy.

Lawlz. XD

It's just epic.

-

Starting my comic soon. You're not going to see any of it though. So you know.

That's all.

Work. What else is new right?

I missed Emily's damn kiri-chan! I was soooo close! I wanted an actual request and everything... ;-; Oh well. Maybe next time.

Harle and I couldn't stay away...YD is back. But it's twisted here and there so it's interesting. And do I see a little MinatoxRyo action? Lawlz. Not really, but it would be funny.

Leek stuff went on today, it was pretty cool. We need to like...decide an actual time and place once summer hits. It'd be easier. A nice Leek N00bz schedule would be good to get going. Like...hang out days and actual Leek days where we discuss cosplay and skits and such.

Harle's birthday is like...11 days and I still don't know what to get her!!! Grr, it makes me mad...I'll think of something!

Kcon is just around the corner, so those going need to get set for it! Cosplays, money, panels, etc.

I have no drawings for you.

Anyone want to play Poke'manz wiff me? If so um...I'll send you my friend codes. I have three different ones so yeah.

Hmm...

I really have nothing.

I'm not sure why I even write these anymore. No one reads them. No one looks at my DA. I'm a tad emo every time I go on DA or write these so I'm not sure why I do anymore. Wishful hoping I suppose?

Hm..

Hmm....

Hm...

Yeah I got nothing else. If anyone wants to do art trades or something let me know? I dunno.

-

First thing:
Not sure where we want to do it. MSN or Gaia (XP) or one of the few websites we have or whatever. But I was thinking of doing a Naruto remake. What I mean is...do the basic plot of Naruto but with OCs. So have the main character personality types kind of thing. Obviously they're your characters but have them have a similiar format to Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, etc.

EX. Debi is on the three man squad with Mark and Rachael. Debi is the Sakura in the group. She's strong but a bit too overwhelmed with other things to put her skills to the test. She's somewhat shy and quiet but could be so much better. People often count her out, but don't underestimate her in a tight spot.

So that was one thing. I know just about everyone has a Naruto OC so yeah. You could use them finally! I dunno.

-

Second thing:
Again, not sure if you'd want to do this on MSN or gaia or whatever, but this one would be kind of a personal group thing. I was thinking a Pokemon RP where you get your DS and use your game or start over. The pokemon you have are your pokemon for the RP as well. You can do your own character of course, but the pokemon all depend on your pokemon in your game. We can RP online and then hop on the DS for poffin mixing, game playing, trading and especially battling.

-

The Larping thing would obviously have to be for Leekerz or those who live nearby but I was thinking of doing some kind of Larp game. Maybe meeting once a week or on a weekend or a night or something like that and we make our characters. We can design our own cosplay by piecing together different clothing and such and we can do a game. Not sure if we want to do a fantasy, we could do an anime one (like after we get our Naru cosplay, which we'll do anyway but yeah), we can do OCs, etc. Any ideas are fine.

I really only do Larping at cons, but around Christmas time, Bre had a party and the entire time we Larped. Her, brother and I were triplet assasins and we had to capture the princess (Lori) and kill the other princess (Jessica) but all this stuff happened blah blah blah. It was fun though. I was like...love struck by Lori XD It was a lot of fun to do.

-

That's pretty much all I have for now.

Anyone up to one of those ideas or have something else to suggest? I'm just trying to get some fun stuff going. Summer is coming up fast.

Like...it's not that big of a deal kind of holiday but still.

We were camping with dad and that was fine. But I found out I had to work Sunday 1-8. I was all 'okay that's dumb but I can still be with mom a few hours.' Kristen and I were hella bored but stayed up until around midnight. Then we woke up around 9 and picked our stepmom some wild flowers.

She loved them.

Then we headed out to go be with mom. But first, buy her a gift. She really wanted those dumb 'bump its'. Some hair thing. Well we couldn't find them at Walmart or Fredmeyers or anywhere. So we just got her a ten dollar gift card for human bean. She likes them a lot lately.

We call mom to tell her we're on our way and she's all 'oh well we're doing things. We're having breakfast then we're going to go grocery shopping and then we have a BBQ so we might be home around 3.'

I was all 'mom, I have to work today at 1.'

She says 'oh, well come stop by the cafe then.'

So my sister and I get there, give mom hugs and everything. Give her the gift card and she's all 'that's great, that's great. Well we'll see you later.'

Kristen says 'well, cna't we eat breakfast with you guys?'

And mom says 'nope. This is jsut grown ups.' Well, we haven't eaten at this point so we just roll our eyes and leave.

Hurray fast food.

Around 1, I go to work where everyone says how amazing their mother's day was and how much they love their mom. I'm like 'I saw my mom for two minutes today and she didn't even care.'

I get home around 8:30 and mom's all 'hey I've been waiting for you! let's play rock band and bond!'

I'm kind of pissed at her and tired so I say 'gee, I would but I have to go to bed because I'm tired and work at 7 tomorrow.'

Then she does this whole pout thing and I jsut ignore her and go to my room.

It wouldn't have been so bad, but like...Monday we hung out with the leekz and such and when we got home she was all 'I never get to see you. We need to spend more time together' kind of shit.

Yet on MOTHER'S day, I don't even get to see my mom.

What the hell is that all about?!

Anyway.

I'm kind of pissed and tired, so I'm going to bed.

Here's the story:

She's been told a million times not to lie and do her homework. Well she doesn't stop lying and never does her work anyway and has told the parents straight up 'no matter what you do I won't sotp lying and I hate school.'

Mom found out today she was missing 14 assignments and lied about it all.

So she said she couldn't go to the school dance with Tony (Amanda's not boyfriend) and she would have all her stuff taken away.

Mom worked on that while Amanda worked on homework in the front room.

Five minutes later, Kristen comes in and says 'mom, Amanda's gone.'

The door was wide open and she was gone.

We drove around, walked around, called her name. Nothing.

Mom calls Jim and he finds her way down on Harbeck. Several several blocks away from our house on a busy road for those who don't know. It's pouring rain too.

He arrests her and decides to take her to Juvie for the night. She's 12 by the way. Birthday was yesterday.

Well in the end, he just takes her home since there was too much paper work and a charge to worry about.

My sister and I just don't know what her thinking was in the whole thing.

None of the parents no what to do because she just keeps getting worse and worse.

--

On a brighter note, I totally started a kick ass RP on Carlina's RP site you should check out.

Been working. I had an actual good day on Wednesday.

Pokemon Platinum still annoys me but I'm forcing myself to continue.

Joshua is amazing and I love his laugh.

I'm buying me an Uriana plushie! X3 I'm super psyched.

Working on new cosplay ideas and such.

Mochi bon bons are delicious.

Pictures coming up soon. I've been working on Emily's challenge and such.

Uh...?

I have money now, but all of it is going to savings for Kcon.

Once I hit 650$ though, I'm going to buy all my cosplay. I'm half way there!

I have AMVs to make but just won't do it. Toooo lazy. XD So what else is new?

I want to do my own story and post chapters here but probably won't.

Let's see...

I think that's the basics.

First, I had to wake up at 5:30 for work at 7. 7 to 4. A 9 hours shift...

It was cold this morning and my hair was wet.

I wore my happy bear socks that I got as a gift. They're cute and I like them but everyone said they just looked like fat rats.

Breakfast went smooth, but it was just Eddie and I so no breaks got out.

Carole, the second she steps in the door, says I'm doing things wrong. She goes on and on with things I already knew. AGAIN. So that sucked.

Then she went on about wasting food again. Am I the only one she lectures?

So she goes on about how I need to be perfect on breakfast so from now on I'm going to be working 6am or 7am shifts. THAT SUCKS. I just got use to the mid-shifts. Now...

Ugh.

So I was pissed off with Carole and her lame comments.

Then Angel goes on with the Lesbian thing.

He use to tease me and Fifi all the time saying we were lesbians. Not true but we'd joke anyway.

Well today he wouldn't stop. Fifi joined in and Eddie did too. I told them I didn't like it after a while. I asked them to please stop because it was annoying me. A little joke here and there was fine but when they go on that I will never get a guy because I only go for vaginas? That annoys me.

Lunch was a pain and Carole got on us for talking even though we had all the orders out and everything. No waiting. It was okay though, Carole went easy on us since Fifi was there. She loves Fifi.

Even after lunch, Fifi kept it up. Even once Eddie and Angel were gone. Tyler and David jumped in too. I kept asking them to stop but they didn't.

So Ryan got there. He and I are really close friends. So I told him how theyw ere picking on me.

Then every other word out of his mouth was 'lesbian'. Everyone thought it was funny and did the same.

So I left.

Julie didn't care. I jsut went out and cleaned the lobby and such.

I thought they would sotp an hour later.

Nope.

Ryan keeps pushing me over and over and over until I'm shaking from holding myself back from beating him.

Finally, it was time to leave, but he just kept pissing me off.

So as soon as I leave, I text Jim and ask him to arrest them.

He said he would but then they all sent me tons of texts saying they were sorry. After a while I told Jim to jsut get them another day.

But yeah, I'm still upset. They just wouldn't leave me alone.

Now I have another lame 7-3 shift. At least I have no work Thursday...

I need food now.

What's new?

Been working on Cosplay Concert '09. If you don't know what it is, go to the Leekerz site or something.

Been playing pokemon platinum but it's pretty annoying. I hate replying pokemon games because for the first like...two badges I'll say, it's pretty muhc the same. 'Here are the rules, here are your weak pokemon, see you when you're better'. For me and my lvl 100 pokemon on diamond, it's frustrating. I just hate it. But hopefully it'll get better. -sigh- Whatever.

The world ends with you is holding my interest more. I love reading peoples minds. XD I can't wait to cosplay as Shiki some time. I've got her and her poses down well enough.

I'm finally starting my entries for Emily's contest so art updates coming soon. I'mma win!

Work has been crap. Everytime I do what Carole says, she changes it the next day so I get in trouble. We're working on waste right now, so we throw things away when they expire (shockign isn't it?). Well most of the workers hate throwing away food since it generally still looks and tastes good even after the timer goes off. I'm the only one who will throw things away.

We're suppose to follow the charts for how much of things to cook right? Well when I tell them to follow the charts, a lot of them (especially Tyler) don't listen to me. On Monday they all were like 'Carole's not here so it doesn't matter. She's not going to know.' But I was still doing it anyway even though they all got pissed at me we were wasting so much. I was doing what Carole told me to do.

Well yesterday, our breakfast waste was the best it had ever been! We wasted half a skillet mix and two breakfast chicken. For us as of late and all the times I've worked there, that's is golden! We weren't evenw asting on things until people asked for stuff after change over. I was uber happy and practically glowing with pride.

Carole comes up to me during a slow period at lunch and says, 'so I yelled at Ryan the other day about the waste, but Danielle said you were the one who was wasting everything.' I said 'yes, I was the one wasting things.' She was all 'you threw away WAY too many nuggets.' I told her, 'I only threw away what was expiring.' And she went on about this and that and then she said 'they shouldn't be dropping whole bags of nuggets at a time.' I said 'no, I told them to drop a half bag.' Because Caroel said to do that.

Then she blew up. She was all 'YOU'RE not suppose to tell them anything because it's not your job. They should be following their charts. You tell them which setting we're on and that's it.'

That's when I was about to freak out. Kori anger level reached half peak at that point. Saturday, Carole told me specifically to tell the grill team to drop half bags of nuggets and that if I see we're wasting too muhc or something, to tell them what to do. I was doing just that. Before I got a chance to explain myself though, an order came up, Carole left and I was stuck in the back venting to no one.

All and all, pretty sure my manager position is going to be taken away now because no one listens to me when Carole's not around and I'll get blamed for it. Even when I follow the rules I get in trouble. Yesterday like...five times Carole told me to work on my speed. Um, hi? I'm the fastest grill person we have back there. It's not my falt if 6 hours into my shift I was starving from no breaks and sore from standing all day. Plus, slow days just make me more sluggish. We were waiting on food anyway since we could only do two trays with one food product at a time.

Work sucked.

But there were some funny sides to it...drive through was halarious. We had people come through asking for 'the orange stuff'. Not Hi-C orange juice, 'the orange stuff'. I love those orders. A lady came in and asked if we spoke english? Because apparently the McDonalds in California speaks another language?

One guy came through and wanted a latte made with cows milk. When he was paying for it, he had two punch cards. He could use one and get a latte free, or use both and wait until next time. He decided to wait until next time so his wife could get free things. 'She likes to think she's getting free things. THat's why she voted for the ni***.' Direct quote. Nancy and I were in shock and a bit of lawlz that he said it.

I don't work tomorrow which is nice, but I do work Saturday 8-4. Right through Emily's thing. I'm so sad... But I'll still drop off some of my donations at some point. I have copies of things to rid myself of.

Fifi got me into playing Magic, and since Ryan is learning I got double modivation. It's so much like yugioh so it's easy for me to learn. They just use bigger words and scarier pictur... ]]> ~MoonRaiBlues http://MoonRaiBlues.deviantart.com/journal/24205177/ http://MoonRaiBlues.deviantart.com/journal/24205177/ Mon, 13 Apr 2009 07:58:24 PDT
Today's been a nice day so far.

Woke up, took a shower. That was nice(?) Then came out and opened gifts. I got a 40$ gift card for Barnes N Noble from dad, a few canvases from Kristen along with a set of manga ink pens. Then I got lots of candy and chocolate for easter.

We watched Madagascar for a while then went to church. It was nice but we were outside and sitting on this hill and since it was dew-y I kept slipping on our tarp. But that was fun.

Then afterward, we went and got taco bell for lunch.

Headed home and headed back out (just Kristen and I). We went to moms to say Happy Easter and drop thins off. I got my K-con badge in the mail, it's so cool!

Then I got a few gifts while I was there, mostly money which I deposited in my bank account giving me 70$.

Then after getting gas we headed to Medford.

Unfortunatly the interweb lied to me and Target was closed... But the Fredmeyers was open so I hunted down the last copy of 'The world ends with you'. So I was uber excited. Then I got Pokemon Platinum while I was there too.

Went to Barnes N Noble, got the books I wanted and still had enough to buy one volume of Naruto (I need 11 more to catch up). So I was excited about our trip.

Came home after that and after an hour of resting at home, we went to Whendi's aprents place for easter/birthday dinner.

It was nice, but I was so tired I just wanted to sleep. I got some really cute gifts and giftcards I plan to use Thursday or something.

We got home around nine or so and I hopped onto the computer to do some quick RPing because I needed it XD I need my Harle RPs before bed or I can't sleep.

I played tWEwY for a while and it's fuuuuun. The fighitng with two people is weird though and something I'll have to get use to in time, but it's pretty fun so far.

I'm not sure if Teen Titans is coming back or something, but I watched three episodes of it and was really happy.

All and all, the birthday was a nice one. Not much to be said for it, but I got what I wanted. I just wish I could have hung out with friends for it, but yeah, easter interferance.

Art updates hopefully coming Thursday or something when I have time to not be as lazy.

Looks like no one is going to catch the Kiri-chan 4,444... Sorrow... Oh well, maybe in ten years someone will get 44,444.

...

..

...

..

....

Okay that sounds weird.

Basically I noticed this pattern for a while now. Everytime I'm at work, I obviously get thirsty. So I get Dr. Pepper and set it in the back for easy access.

Well, Fifi being Fifi likes to take it and drink out of it herself.

I noticed that after she drinks out of it, it tastes sweeter.

So today I was all 'Fifi, why do you make my drinks sweeter?'

We tested it several times and it was true. Everytime she drang my Dr. Pepper, it got sweeter. We tried it with Coke though, and it didn't work.

We're going to try it some more and then also see if it works with other people.

Speaking of work, we're trying to get more people. Anyone out there wanting a job, put in your application. When summer comes around we're going to be needing more workers.

We have a ton of people and yet we're always short handed so we're hiring more. John wanted me to advertise that to all you.

Also, Kyle was tlaking to me during lunch rush and was all 'so hey, we had our manager meeting yesterday.' He's in trianing for the position. And I was all 'yeah they did. That sucks.' During those days, it gets busy and half the workers are gone in the meeting.

Then he was all 'so they seem to need more workers. Do you want to try for the position maybe?' Flattered and repeating all my past mistakes I say 'sure.'

So now I'm in the program to be manager.

That sucks...

But it means I get to be THE RULER OF MCDONALDS!!! Besides Carole...and Vicky...and Chan...

BUT OTHER THAN THAT!!!

MUHAHAHAHA!

What else?

Erm... Oh! Kiri-chan 4,444 coming up very soon! Big prize for anyone who gets it.

B-day stuff going on tomorrow.

I'm trying t be excited but I'm really not. -sigh-

What else do I got for you?

I want to do a la tale RpG soon? I dunno.

I'll update my DA soon too. I'm just being -le gasp- lazy.

That's all for now. I'm done.

Hurray supeh stah Emily!! Epic awesome. I'm going to frame that page and put it on my wall. Then take a picture of it!

I'm still uber pissed I can't do our meet-up this weekend. Everyone keeps saying 'just do it another weekend'. But this weekend will only happen this one weekend and won't happen for another who knows how many years.

It's Sakuracon, my birthday and Easter all in one bundle.

That's not going to happen again for a very very long time if it ever happens again.

Any other weekend just wouldn't be magical...

So yeah.

Mom asked me what I wanted (like she always does) for my birthday but I just say I dunno. Because I'm 19 and that means I should ask for more mature things but I wouldn't even know what to begin asking for that's 'mature'.

So then when I said 'I dunno', my sister blurted 'she wants the new pokemon game! I don't know why she won't just tell you.'

And right away mom said 'she's getting a little too old for video games don't you think?' So I instantly reply, 'that's why I dind't say anything.' -rolls eyes-

It's weird. Jim gets video games for his birthday and xmas and stuff but I'm too old for them?

So I think I'll end up buying my own gifts this year XD

Anyway.

I got La Tale, I'm lvl 6 right now and my name is Lalarou. It's fun but I can only really play it when there's nothing else going on. Too many MSN conversations make it freeze up XP

I've watched FMA Brotherhood like...everyday for the longest time and still awesome. It just gets more and more awesome everytime! New episode coming soon so that'll be my b-day gift from the anime world. Last year it was L's death. This year is...well...it's Alphonses death in a way. It's the flashback episode so yeah.

OMG!

Kristen and I watched 2 girls 1 cup the other day. XD Funniest thing as hell, but I'd never watch it again. Saw it once, saw it twice. No more...

This new girl on the Kcon forums, X.Akito, is really cool. We've been chatting via PM for a few weeks now. She's really nice and she's a lot like me so it's cool. She's a con newbie (I seem to gather at least one a year) and she has no idea how they work.

I told her she could room with us at the con if she wanted to and she said she may have some friends with her but I told her it was fine. We only go into the room for preperation, changing and rare sleeping. So now she's excited and learning all the dances and going to do our Furuba kimono cosplay as Rin. She's going to be my Haurhi stunt double too so I can be Tsuruya all I want. I'm excited to hang out with her.

What else do I have to say?

Um...

Nothing else really.

I gotta go to the bathroom.

After the whole crazy pissed off Monday day, I got my period. Stupid stupid karma or something!

Like I'm crying even as I type all this.

So sometime in January, Kyonko, Natalie and I planned a meet-up for the weekend of April 11th. It was my b-day weekend plus Sakuracon so we thought we'd do things together.

We planned like...constantly until we had the perfect weekend planned.

I asked for the weekend off, I told my parents everyone agreed it would work out!

After the day with them, Brother, Kristen and I were going to head to medford for some b-day shopping fun stuff.

We were going to get books and my games and all that stuff.

Then last night I get a phone call from dad. He's all 'I don't think you should go after all. The weather might be bad and you'll be too tired to drive that far.' It's only three hours a way, big deal...

Then he's all 'let's do a BBQ with the gang (like every weekend) and then Sundya on your birthday we can celebrate yours and Whendi's b-day at her parents place for Easter.

I'm thinking 'yeah right, like I want to do that.'

So I tell him I'll think about it.

I get to work today and guess what. I work this weekend.

I'm thinking WTFFF?!

But Carole's not there so I cna't talk to her about it.

I try to smile and act like it doesn't bother me, but the second I start driving home I start breaking out in tears.

I get home, put on my favorite cosplay, put my hair in pigtails, listen to FMA Brotherhood and I'm still crying my eyes out.

My whole b-day weekend gone.

Now I'm really depressed. It doesn't even feel like it matters anymore.

It's just any other day, any other weekend.

So I'm like...serious depressed now.

I think I'm going to go take a nap...

EDIT:

So back from my nap.

I guess I'm just being a total brat about the whole thing.

I just like birthdays. It's a whole day dedicated to and your birth. Be it mine, another friend or family member. It's a special day and now it feels like my day isn't going to be anything special.

I love Whendi and I love her fmaily but we're just so different I can't see Sunday as being any fun nor can I see Saturday being special now.

Again, I'm just being a spoiled brat about the whole thing but it still sucks.

IT WAS AMAZING!!!

It's like...ten million times better than the first anime in every way. The animation, the music (hurray no brothers yet!), the theme songs, the dialogue that was straight from the anime. Edward is SO funny in it too. Even during serious moments he's more child-like which made it a bit more believeable.

I'm going to have to re-read the manga now because it was just that amazing.

I like how they already lept into things. If you're watching the series for the first time it's great because you'll still see plenty flashbacks and the story will unfold like it normally would. If you only read the manga, it's great because it's got the manga elements and style to it they'll recognize. If you watched just the first anime, it's also great because it still keeps a lot of the original anime elements. But if you (like me) read/watched them both, you'll just die for it.

Yeah.

I'm totally blown away right now. XD

It was that amazing.

Best first episode of something I've ever seen.

And Ellysia was adorable in it X3

If you haven't seen it yet or don't plan to...DO IT!!!

Or I'll eat you.

A lot.
