Well, getting ready for AUSA this weekend now. Gonna start packing tomorrow and get my butt up there. But in the meantime I will be enjoying multiple viewings of the new Star Trek movie I'm kicking myself for missing in theaters ;-; Spock = sexy. Yeah, I said it

I think it's really pretty, if I do say so myself, although I loathe satin now because of this outfit I'd like to get some pictures done when I'm in full costume and makeup, so hopefully I'll post one or two of them after next weekend (NekoCon!!!). Woot woot!! o(^_^)o

1) Kaya "schoolboy"
2) HIZAKI "Aristocrat's Symphony"
3) original steampunk (in progress, will resume once I figure out why the pattern instructions suck so hard)
4) original Mad Hatter concept


Annnd, a trip to the Dollar Tree yesterday presented me with yet another cosplay idea. They had thes echildren's puzzles with the Disney Princesses on them, and one had Belle, Aurora, and Jasmine. What caught my eye about this puzzle was that the outfits on the Princesses were entirely bejeweled, and Jasmine's was really different from what you normally see her in (there was a pseudo-cape, the top was different, she had an actual crown, etc). Now, I've wanted to cosplay Jasmine for a few months, but when I saw that puzzle I knew I had to cosplay that version of her. It's just so pretty! Anyone who wants to see it, do a search for the Disney Princess puzzle titled "Off to the Ball".

And the thing that's been driving me insane for the past week is finally upon us: Otakon. That monster of an anime con. I already know I'm gonna be batshit insane by the time I come back home (or I'll have killed someone in my insanity while still there), so it's gonna be interesting either way. I won't be able to cosplay, though; I've got too much scheduled already to have to worry about getting into that ginormous dress @_@ Plus, at a con that big I doubt anyone would notice a giant pink cupcake XD

I'm most looking forward to Kanon Wakeshima's concert on Saturday, though. She is such an amazing artist and is just too adorable for words! I'm also excited to finally be able to meet Crispin Freeman in person; ever since I first saw the original Hellsing series I've been a fan of this man (or at least his voice XD). I hope I don't do anything to embarass myself in front of him >.< Actually, I don't wanna embarass myself in front of anyone there <.<;;

Wish me luck for the weekend! *packs away Lelouch and Tamaki-kun in preparation*

Fun weekend all in all! My report of the con will be up with pictures at some point on WOLR-RadioFM.com shortly, so if you want a full story read it there (cuz there's no way I can type it all out again XDD).

My laptop shall henceforth be known as Lelouch (because he's stubborn and pigheaded, but he gets the job done and has good intentions [most of the time]).

My cell phone shall be known forevermore as Tamaki-kun (because he's stupid and annoying but I can't help but love him). Th "kun" part comes in because I'm older than Tamaki by a couple years, so there

So, from now on, whenever I mention Tamaki-kun or Lelouch and I'm not talking about Ouran or Code Geass, that is what I'm referring to ^_^





Yes, I'm lame, stfu.

-shrug- Idk right now. I'll decide that later. In the meantime, for anyone who's bored enough to find my crappy-ass journal and read it (lulz ), here's my Flickr account: [link]

I'm most proud of my Aural Vampire ones

So I've sorta rediscovered eBay and am scouring the place for movie posters for Angels & Demons (I've been five times so far in theaters and I love it every time). There's one poster there that I would kill to have, but I know that if I put in a bid now I'll end up losing in the end (stfu, it makes sense to me ).

And I've gotten so obsessed by that damn movie I'm now reading the book, got the movie guide book, got the soundtrack (which is amazing!), and am working on obtaining a few posters. C'mon: Ewan McGregor in a priest cassock. Tell me that's not sexy as all holy hell (I'm going to Hell, aren't I? XD).

I go get ready for work now! Love y'all! ^^v

For my online friends, you have really helped me when I needed it most, been by my side even when we really didn't know what to talk about. Some of you have given your counsel in my darkest times, and I am truly thankful for that. You really have no idea how greatly your company through these wires and monitors and such has comforted me when faced with the distance between my real life friends. Even though some of you are just one or two time zones away, some of you are an ocean away and I may never get to see you in person or hear your voice or go to a mall with you or watch a movie with you.

Before this turns into the speech from "V for Vendetta", I'll end here by just saying thank you, from the bottom of my heart and soul. I thank you and love you all ^_^ *tackles you all and gives you humongous bear hugs until you suffocate*

'But why the emo/angry title, Stormy?' you ask? Well, many reasons, but here are the top three: 1) I know that if we were to meet in real life, I would do something to screw up our current status as friends and possible colleagues. 2) I have never been in a relationship and have no fuckin' clue "how to be in one", if that didn't sound completely retarded. And the biggie: 3) He lives in fuckin' Australia. Yeah. 16 hours time difference, several thousand miles away.

Fuckin' great *bangs head into wall until she goes unconscious*

Do NOT add these guys to your MySpace. They're complete assholes, and none of the music on their page is their own; they've stolen it from other bands, thus breaking the MySpace Music Terms and Conditions.

And just so everyone and his sister knows, I and several people have emailed Kisaki-san about this, as has JRock Revolution and EINSOF Marketing. I am so fucking pissed off at these fuckers I can't even see straight! I'm shaking I'm so angry!

Second, check out one of my X Japan cake pictures on here. The comment in there encompasses all that has made me so very happy in the last few months. I believe it's the second view where I explain why I wrote "2007 Year of the Rev!" on the sides.

I am so happy, I feel like crying. It really has been a magical year for me and thousands of others in the world. We should have a worldwide holiday where we can come together and bask in each others' happiness.

I saw Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Gorgeous film. Liked it a lot. Cate Blanchett is simply wonderful.

I got my tickets to a JPop ball this month, so I'm set for that.

I got my new BLOOD CD and a BLOOD flyer signed by Kiwamu-san and Fu~ki-san (my favorite ), along with the story of the signing from the girl I bought it from.

I'm also all set to go to BLOOD's concert in Boston next year. I'm so excited about that! I don't know how I'll survive the next few months!

I've also become a part of the JRock Revolution team as Staff Writer froor the site. I have yet to get any assignments, but I can't wiat to get started for them!

Also, about my actual paying job, I was left by myself for a few hours last night and it got really REALLY busy. Everyone wanted me to do different things and let them hang out front drinking beer all night, but I got through it with very little problems. I'm starting to get the hang of it. Now I go in for the graveyard shift next week to learn how to do something new, then I'll be on my own after next week.

I'm off to listen to music now. Be good, kids!

*sigh* If I can keep this job until mid-February at least I'll be happy; I'm going to use that employee discount in the beginning of that month

Well, enough of my bitching. Gonna go try and relax a bit before heading to hell......I mean, work.

However, I'm still kinda depressed about that other thing I mentioned in my last journal. I thought if I kept busy enough I'd be over it sooner, but now that I have a couple days off it's hit me full force since I'm not being kept busy.

But fear not! I shall recover! It'll just take some time for me to get over. And DragonVamp, I will definitely talk to you about it tomorrow, so worry not!

]]> ~Stormraven24 http://Stormraven24.deviantart.com/journal/14692702/ http://Stormraven24.deviantart.com/journal/14692702/ Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:12:26 PDT
First of all, I'm umeployed right now and am in desperate need of money soon. The good news is that I'm probably definitely going to be hired at one place, but only for seasonal help and 10-20 hours a week at minimum wage. I think I'm also going to be offered another job at another place for a 40-hour week, and possibly better pay. I'm just not completely sure on either at this point.

And secondly, the big issue, the one I'm not really ready to completely talk about: I've gotten myself all sad and depressed about something so incredibly stupid. I've started to let it take over my life, which is never good. Any time I'm alone or it's late at night (like right now) I start thinking about it and make myself even sadder. It's nobody's fault but my own that it's gotten this bad. I'll probably get over it in time, but it's just making me so down lately. When I'm with friends and other people, I tend to forget about it for the most part, but when I get home it's all I can think about. And the fact that I've had 2 dreams recently involving it doesn't help much either; when I wake up, they make think, "God! Why can't that have been real?!" (especially the one I had last night).

*sigh* And now I'm getting depressed just typing all this out! >_<

Off to Dreamland now!

Well, from what I gather, I need to post 8 things about myself, then tag 8 more people to do the same. Here it goes:

1) I'm obsessed with JRock/JPop (if anyone cares what artists I like, send me a note and I'll tell you).

2) I'm currently teaching myself Japanese.

3) I just got big into anime and manga earlier this year.

4) I'm sending a member of Japanese band alice nine. a gift for his birthday next month.

5) I have insane friends (some of them are on here).

6) I love cosplaying.

7) I want to be a photojournalist (actually, I just want to go to concerts, preferably by Japanese bands in Japan, for free and take pretty pictures ^_^).

8) Looking back over that, I realize I'm not all that interesting. *sweatdrop*

I'm tagging more people right now!

However, there is some bad news about the imminent release: there has been an explosion of dumbasses on the IMDb board who have been more than helpful at posting spoilers, both fake and possibly real without warning. Idiots. And there are also people who feel the need to share the fact that they have bootleg copies of the book that they got from their buddies who photographed the book's pages and put them on the Internet. Can't these people wait teo effin days for the stupid book?!

Anyway, I'm not going to go into a rant (I've yelled at enough people on IMDb for today), so I'll leave the two people reading this to go about their business. Toodles!

And I want to apologize for the extreme blurriness of the pictures I took. I was too excited (and stupid) to realize that I had to hold the camera still even after pushing the button so they'd come out clear. Hopefully the ones I took on my disposable cameras will turn out much better.

*sigh* I really wish I was still at the con. I wanna go to the others now!

I won't be on for a few days, but if I get any messages I'll be sure to reply to them when I get back. And I'll also be uploading a bunch of pictures I plan on taking while I'm there, including my costume for the contest. I'll be Kuchiki Rukia, and a friend of mine will be Ichigo in bankai form, so maybe we can get together for a picture. I'm not if my other friend (and roommate) is dressing up or not. I hope she finds something.

Well, I'm going to finish downloading this episode of Ouran High School Host Club (a great anime, by the way) and head to the store for some things, then I'll start packing!

Buh-bye for now!

Well, I'm still going, and my costume is almost finished! I've just got to make the last kimono, and that's already 1/3-1/2 the way done, so I'll put pics up when it's all done! I'm especially proud of the shoes I made for it! Those will most likely be the first ones I post.

I'm just happy that it's almost done and I can finally start working on another outfit for cosplay/everyday wear: a Vietnamese ao dai. For those don't know what that is, you can watch the episodes of Blood+ where Saya is at the girl's school in Vietnam, or you can read this: it's basically loose pants and a dress with spilts up to the hips. That's it. It's really quite a beautiful ensemble. I can't wait to get started! And it's going to be in color; my current project is mostly black with a white kimnon worn under a black one and a white belt. All that black is starting to depress me. Okay not really, but it is getting tiresome to look at constantly.

Anyways..........LATER, BITCHES!!!

And here's the sadder part: the lawyer of the defendants used the same arguements in the courtroom that people have been using against PETA for years. Here's the site for anyone interested: [link]

After that class is done, it's off to Anime Mid-Atlantic convention, then the day after I get back I have to start another class in order to get all the credits I need for my degree.

I still have no word on if I'm getting into the four-year university I want, but at this point I'm kind of hoping that they reject my application; I'm just so tired of school and stressing out and all that crap. I just want to take a break and make some money so that I can support myself (and my anime/manga addiction ^_^).

Anyway, I'm happy that I'll be graduating from college, but I'm also sad because I've made some wonderful new friends there and I'm reluctant to give them up. They're just so nice and cool it's going to be hard to not be able to be around them like I used to. And as time goes on, we'll drift apart, live our own lives, and begin to forget about each other. This makes me so sad. I'll miss everyone!

Well! I've got to go watch crap on my computer before I have to get ready to go! Later, bitches!

This senseless tragedy is proof that everyone in college needs to be more vigilant and start looking out for their fellow students. Now I'm not one to get into people's lives or even really care about people I don't already know, but the beginnings of this incident (i.e. the stalking of the two girls prior to the shooting) hit too close to home for me. I believe that if we just watch out for suspicious behavior and try to help those who seek help themselves (not that the shooter did) we can possibly avoid another massacre like this one.

My thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the shooting, and I wish them all nothing but good fortune and tidings in the coming years.
