                <description><![CDATA[ Hey all you wig-makers out there.  I am wondering, what is the best way to make a widow's peak in a wig?  I found this tutorial <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/makingem/Hair/AltWigT.htm#Expanding">[link]</a> but isn't there another way to do it?  I hear that some people combine two wigs together.  Is that the same thing as they are doing in the tutorial or are they totally different?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I am BEYOND happy right now.  You know what a difficult time I was having finding good wood here in Miami??????????  DO YOU??????????  Well, I was having a VERY DIFFICULT TIME.  Anyways, I finally googled "wholesale wood Miami" and look what I find!<br /><br />Google + Youtube = the fountain of knowledge... its the motto of my life<br /><br />I am also in a good mood because I have no school today.  For some reason, the University of Miami gives us all a "Fall Recess" right after midterms week.  It's actually a pretty terrible excuse of a break since it is only a day long, but I suppose it will do.  Not to mention it gives me a chance to go check out that wood place *coughafterIdoashitloadofhomeworkcough*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lol is it bad that my kitty Niko makes me depressed sometimes?  I guess that is sort of weird, getting depressed because of a kitten, but I would be lying if I denied that it was true.  I think it's because home doesn't quite feel like home anymore with him around; it's very hard to relax and work on cosplay with him constantly headbutting me, or even just sit on the computer and loaf on the internet.<br /><br />Aw well, I will get used to his headbutting eventually.  I may have to recruit my cousins to play with him every so often so I can get some cosplay work done though.<br /><br />Oh little kitty, you need to grow up soon D=.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ hehehe brought my little kitty Niko home today and he is very cute <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />.  He is CONSTANTLY purring and headbutting me for attention, so it has been hard getting any work done.  However he has finally calmed down and is now sitting in my lap, so I snagged the time to write a journal entry hehe.<br /><br />He has some form of feline ADHD, it is so hard to find him still for more than a second.  This is why I don't have any pics of him up; he simply won't hold still for one (that or my camera is MIA, like now for example).  Other than his constant purring, he is a very, very quiet cat.  He almost never meows and if he does, it is the tiniest little squeak of a meow ever.  He also doesn't seem to be interested in toys other than the laser pointer I got for him.  Omg he loves that stupid little laser, he won't stop chasing it until he is panting like a dog.<br /><br />hehehe, he is so cute.  Really glad that I got him <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay I finally did it!  I went to the animal shelter and adopted myself a little kitten.  I don't actually have him yet cause the paperwork still has to go through, but on Tuesday I am going back to the shelter to pick him up!  Oh man I am so excited XD.  There was another young lady at the shelter looking to adopt a cat and we both wanted him but luckily I was more decisive than her so I went and reserved him before she decided.  Oddly enough, after I finished all the paperwork she came down and asked me if I would give up my reserve on him so she could adopt him instead.  I felt sort of bad when I denied her request, but that's what she gets for being indecisive I guess (she was debating between him and another cat).<br /><br />Anyways, enough about that girl I am gonna talk about the kitten <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />.  He is 4 months old, completely black, and has green eyes.  When I walked in the room he immediately walked up to me and started to headbutt me, purring like a motor the whole time.  He is really snugly and loves to be petted - exactly what I wanted in a cat.  I would post the pic I took of him on my phone while I was in the shelter, but my phone froze immediately after I took the picture >>.  Maybe black cats really are bad luck...<br /><br />Baw but he is too cute to be unlucky <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" />(((.<br /><br />Anyways, I will be flooding my dA with pics once I bring him home.  I've never really taken photos of animals before, so I hope they do his cuteness justice!<br /><br />PS: Almost forgot!  His name is gonna be Niko =3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, its been over a week since I stopped playing WoW and my "withdrawl symptoms" are finally beginning to go away.  I don't have these retardedly strong cravings to go retrieve my account anymore - and better yet, I don't look for excuses to start playing again.  The only thing I really miss right now are feral druids, especially in cat form; I guess I just think the new models Blizzard made are really awesome and its a damn shame that I didn't get to play mine for very long (my main was a Resto Shaman btw, but my favorite alt was my druid <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />).  Maybe some day I will make a pair of cat-form plushies, one Night Elf and one Tauren, to fulfill my desire to have a druid...<br /><br />Or, instead of making plushies, I could make a Night Elf druid costume.  This is a definite possibility, however I want to loose a good 20lbs or so before I do that.  I have gotten back into Bikram Yoga (doing it 5 times a week at the moment) so loosing weight shouldn't be difficult at all now <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />.  Maybe I will be able to make one for Blizzcon or Wizard World 2010?<br /><br />And on a totally different note, I think I figured out what is wrong with my XBox360.  Apparently I have a bad power supply and it was this bad power supply that was giving my 360 the red ring of death.  I just ordered a new one, so once that arrives I should be back on XBL!  Woot.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Man, I am really terrible at writing journals, I can never manage to keep them updated D=.<br /><br />Anyways, as many of you may know, I am now back in Miami for college and so far things are going really well.  This year I have my own condo and I am LOVING IT.  Its so much better that living with my retarded ex-roomate: no more sleepless nights because she was doing laundry at 3am, no more bitching at me everytime I used the kitchen, no more washing the walls, no more hearing about how my classes are stupid, no more criticizing my major, NO MORE ANYTHING MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..!<br /><br />And on another high point, last night I found a way to legitimately never play WoW ever again.  The idea was that I would create a random sequence of letters and numbers (in other words, something that I could never remember), make it my password, and finally destroy the random sequence once I finished.  So guess what?  That's exactly what I just finished doing.  I also took the game off my computer, just in case I decided to do a password retrieval or something >>.<br /><br />Anyways, I feel proud.  Maybe I will get back into cosplay, but since I never really finish anything I guess this is no cause for celebration lol.<br /><br />There is a Bikram Yoga studio right on the way to school however, perhaps I will get back into that so I can get in shape for cosplay<br /><br /> ]]></description>

You all hyped for Wizard World? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Ok anyways... I seriously need a new cosplay alias.  I thought of this one back when I was all emo/depressed/overly dramatic and... and just a general teenage emotional train-wreck =C.  I want to forget those days ever happened, so it's high time that I replace this name.  However I need help deciding on one =C.<br /><br />Downtown, Cororico, and Yamasaki (the people that do those famous batsu games) are my freaking heroes, especially Endou <3<3<3.  So my name will probably be something that references them, like "TenTen".  All of you staying with me this weekend will most definitely be helping me think up a new name so be prepared!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Now I know why no one carves out every meticulous detail on their keyblades: because it takes a really damn long time.  ESPECIALLY if your Dremel is battery powered and needs constant charging (like mine).  However, I WILL finish this damn keyblade and paint it with AUTO PAINT, just as planned...<br /><br />Even if it takes me all goddamn summer, I will make this the most epically gorgeous keyblade that my tools and abilities allow me to make<br /><br />I am going to have to take a temporary break to make my friend a knife though.  This will be nice because it will be a LOT easier compared to this keyblade of impending doom =_=.  There is no fancy beveling, no strange curves or anything...<br /><br />its like paradise <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, everyone is posting life update journals.  It's like Christmas letters in May...<br /><br /><b>School</b><br />Glad to be finished with my 5th year in college and nowhere near graduating!  I like my new school (University of Miami) a lot, although I must say that I get sick of the weather.  You would be surprised at how boring never-ending sun can be; it makes me appreciate thunderstorms.  I have no idea what my grades are, and I probably never will (I have a phobia of looking at my grades D= ).  However I still think I did well, at least in bio, bio lab, and English.<br /><br /><b>Cosplay</b><br />Finally I am getting back into cosplay!  I had some... roommate issues... which prevented me from working this year.  But now I am free from the clutches of her OCD and can make props to my hearts content <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />.  I'm currently working on my Oblivion Keyblade (for Final Form Sora of course).  Once I finish that its on to Oathkeeper (I am remaking it in wood), Twilight Princess Hylian shield (remaking it in wood, once again), and Ordon or Twilight Princess Master Sword.  I'm pretty confident that I will actually finish this Oblivion keyblade, so once I finish with the details on one side I will post a WIP pic.<br /><br /><b>Conventions</b><br />Otakon and Wizard World Chicago are the only conventions I am planning on going to so far this summer.  If anyone knows a great way to carry a Sora wig on a train without flattening all of the spikes, please tell me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />.  I am going to wear Final Form Sora to Otakon, and I have NO idea how I am gonna get my wig there.  I might just have to style it the night before in the hotel room, but obviously I don't want to do that <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" />.<br /><br /><b>Miscellaneous</b><br />My body hurts everywhere T^T.  My mom is sick of me complaining about being fat, so she decided that I am going to do boot camp training with her, and I am in so much pain because of it.  Yesterday I was so sore that I couldn't move to get out of bed.  <br /><br />Sigh, at least I won't be a fat Sora.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ this dA of mine is almost a year old and I just hit the 1,000+ page views mark!  WOOOOOT (gogo sarcasm).  So yes, ty all you people who have looked at my page.<br /><br />Anyways.  My wood experiment didn't go so well, so I am back to using insulation foam for the time being.  I am going to try and get Final Form Sora done for Otakon, but I am going to have to work very hard to get everything done ><.  Once I am done studying for my FIVE FINALS THAT I HAVE THIS SEMESTER (shoot me now pls) I can start working on Sora again.  I have two months to make it, but since I am pretty much starting from scratch I am going to be rushed to finish.<br /><br />I had to pitch my oathkeeper and oblivion keyblades because they are too thin for insulation foam (they bend a lot).  I am going to make them out of wood eventually, but that will have to wait until I move.  For those of you that don't know, I am going to have a cosplay workshop in my new condo, so I will be doing a lot more props! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />  I don't know if you are excited, but I am hehe.  So yeah, after I move I am going to make them out of wood.  For now I am sticking with bulkier keyblades that have a solid center so that I can keep them straight with a metal rod.<br /><br />Anyway, I should be home by May 15th or so.  I EXPECT (not hope) to see many of you over the summer, so we must plan some get togethers <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow I am making a lot of journals as of late.  I seriously think that I mentally hibernate in December and January, so I am finally waking up lol.<br /><br />Anyways, I finally broke down and got myself some wood for my keyblades... wood, a sawhorse, a jigsaw, and two clamps to be exact.  I almost tried to make them out of cardboard (like featherweight's stuff) but I just settled on wood in the end.  I figured it would be similar to working with insulation foam, only I won't have to worry about the details disappearing once I fiberglass it (since I won't really need to fiberglass it anyways <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />).<br /><br />I really hope this experiment goes well - really really hope.  Things will be a lot cheaper if they do since it is only $5 for a piece of wood instead of... *does the math* ... oh say $50 if I were to fiberglass it.<br /><br />I do have an issue with paint though, since I have no idea if you can apply auto paint directly to wood.  I think I will just wind up covering it all in a thin layer of bondo or resin... or something lol<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Guess what guys!  I am remaking my Oathkeeper keyblade!<br /><br />Sigh, I never seem to use my first attempt on any prop, now do I?  Well, my mom won't ship me my handle, so I don't have much of a choice.<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />I actually might have to make the keyblades (I'm making both Oathkeeper and Oblivion btw, since this is for Final Form Sora - a dual wielding form) out of an entirely different material than I am used to - aka foam.  Apparently Floridians don't believe in insulation foam, and consequentially don't sell it in any of their hardware stores (I've checked 4 different stores from three different chains and none of them have it).  My mom offered to send me insulation foam from Chicago, but shipping 4ft long sheets of insulation foam from Chicago to Miami doesn't seem very practical.  <br /><br />So I need to improvise.<br /><br />I think I am going to cut the basic shapes out of cardboard, fiberglass them, and bondo on all the details.  This way I can paint it right after I am done carving and they will be very sturdy.  I am aware of the weight of bondo, so to counteract this I am going to make them as thin as I can - so long as I can get the amount of detail that I want.<br /><br />I just hope they aren't too heavy D=.  If this doesn't work I might try wood, but I don't want to invest the money it takes to start working with it =/<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I really like my Hylian shield, but I have one major problem with it: the thing is damn heavy.  This has to be the 4th time I have tried to make the shield, and I don't feel like making it again, so I am using this one no matter what.  <br /><br />But... it's so heavy that I think its weight alone would cause it to break off from its handle (especially since I can't drill into it), and I don't want it to be destroyed during a convention... how embarrassing ><<br /><br />So this is what I was thinking...<br /><br />I am going to finish sculpting it in bondo (the main reason why it is so heavy) and then I am going to silicon mold it.  Once I finish making the mold, I am going to fill it with "TAP X-30 Polyurethane Foam" (link: <a href="http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=79&">[link]</a> ).  I saw a demonstration of it a few years ago, and this stuff expands to fit any shape, is extremely light, and it's practically indestructible.  In addition to that, it is unaffected by polyester or epoxy resin, so you can apply fiberglass to it directly.  The only problems I see with it are that it is extremely sticky and practically impossible to shape once it is hardened.  So I figure I should be ok if I am very through as I cover my mold in vaseline.<br /><br />Anyway, just wondering if you guys think it is a good idea.  If you have used X-30 before, it would be nice if you could share your experience with me hehe <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Omg these things actually make drawing fun lol, so much fun that at the moment, I would rather draw than play WoW.  Crazy right?.  I got one of those super nice wacom intuos3's and I am SO GLAD that I did.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys I got a new dA account <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />, mainly because I want my name here to match the one on cosplay.com (and my old one was sort of cumbersome to type too).  Anyway thats it!  I'll see you all around.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
