in other news, I decided to do NaNoWriMo this year, although I decided it a bit late and I'm now a week behind. I'm really excited about my novel, which I haven't been about any of my writing for a while, so that's a good sign! I might post some of it up here for some critique (and then probably take it down rather quickly). Right now, my biggest road block is not knowing what my characters look like. I usually create characters and then for a plot around them. However, that often results in characters that don't really have much of a role, but that I'm still attached to. This time I came up with the plot and created characters to fit the plot. It's SO much easier this way! I'll be writing along and all of a sudden I'll be like "oh hey, I need some grumpy politicians" and poof! I stick in some grumpy old folks. ~Momeiji's been kind enough to offer to do some concept art of my characters and the design of their clothing, so hopefully that will help!

So, to give you an idea of what my story's about, because I'm sure you're all so very interested to hear about it, I based it rather loosely on the story of Cleopatra and her struggle to keep the throne of Egypt. So my story deals with the consequences of being overly ambitious and the inner workings of an easily corruptible government in a misogynistic society. I know, very vague, but I wouldn't want to give anything away, now would I?

--SPOILER--
haa haa made you look
(everyone dies muhahahahahaha)
--/SPOILER--

anyway, enough of me. Go on, get back to your lives. Do something productive.

For those who care about my life (i.e. none of you) here's an update:

Most of you won't understand what I'm talking about here (and I promise to explain it in a second...), but for the one person who will... I GET TO BE IN RITUAL!!!!!!!!!!! So, Ritual's a sort of... legendary dance in Donna's studio. it's kinda like Juma or the Indian dance. Well, it's only 6 parts, but we convinced Donna to do shared parts, and I get to be in it! I dunno who I'm sharing a part with yet, but I guess I'll find out next week. In other dance news... I dislocated my shoulder... yay life!

Cosplaywise, Sakuracon's the next con on my docket and it's not until april, so I don't have much to worry about. I should probably get a move on on costumes, but I've got some wiggle room. I'm planning to do Ritsu from K-ON, Cornelia from Code Geass and Yuan from ToS (YAY SERAPHIM GROUP!).

um... I just ate a whole jar of nutella and now I feel sick, so i should probably go deal with that by vomiting my intestines...

I thought it would be a lengthy and grueling process, trying to find the right school. I thought maybe I wanted to stay home and just go to OSU, or maybe I wanted to move to Canada and become a CANADIAN (still kinda want to do that, but it can wait...) but upon arriving on campus in the dreary town of Monmouth, I felt at home. It just seemed perfect.

So, looks like that's where I'll be going at this point. I still plan to visit other colleges just in case, but at this point WOU is my first choice. It's funny, I've always thought I'd go there since I was little, and then for a brief amount of time last year I opened up to new ideas, but in the end I settled on the same decision.

So, sorry ~Momeiji and *1000th, I won't be rooming with you. Our terrific trio would've been, well, terrific, but I suppose you'll have to survive without me. On the brightside, I'll be rooming with ~SerikaArenai and it seems like we'll have a pretty excellent time in our video game fort and so on.

So, off to go fill out those applications, I guess!

Stolen from for some reason I'm having trouble recalling right now...

Be one of the first 18 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Featured List!

For each of the 18 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.
If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing the list with 17 other people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone.

----

okay, the rules seemed silly, so I'm changing them up. instead of being the first of some random number, just comment. I don't care if you're the first or the 300th. I'll still feature you on here. Why limit it if the point is to celebrate art?

anyawy, since I know you're all just DYING to hear about my life and all your lives are clearly empty without my addition to your inboxes, here's a lovely little update from yours truly... so, feel free to ignore this. I promise I won't come after you with a steak knife (however, machete's are fair game.)

Monday was probably the worst day EVER. I didn't sleep much and I got a massive lactose attack during B-block, so that was just heaps of fun and then I took a nap on Ellis's couch (which smells oddly, yet not surprisingly, of weed and cats) and then proceeded to go to the worst dance class I've been to since freshman year, but I'll get to the dance stuff later...

I pretty much have the best schedule ever. I either have foods and sewing, or gov and aerobics every day. plus, I get to sleep in until 8 (a luxury I haven't had since middle school) My classes are pretty excellent... you know, good teachers, good, low level of HW... I'm living the ideal senior year.

I'm not entirely sure what to expect out of some of my classes, though. Foods... well, any of you who've experienced my toast will already know this, but I kinda fail at cooking (although I did succeed at making a pizza today and then ate all of it in one sitting...) so we'll see if I get any better by the end of the semester. I'm a little undecided about sewing. I mean, I can sew pretty well... infact, I'd venture to say I can sew really well, but my teacher... I dunno if she's gonna let me do my own thing or not. I'd really like to just get on the sewing machine and start cranking out my costumes, but she keeps going on and on about fabric types and how to read the backs of patterns etc. I know this stuff is important, but I also already know it (and she knows I know it...) I just hope that once we start using the machines she lets me go at my own pace...

So, this year I'm in 4 clubs (although I'd like to be a part of 6...). I joined green club, the environmental club at our school, and I'm returning to variations as the layout person again. High-O-Scope will be returning as well (JOIN YOU FOOLS WE NEED WRITERS!) and, along with the infamous SFM (scott fucking miller), I'm editor and layout. Miss Carly and I are also starting up a new and improved French club (not just for frenchies!) so that should be fun... I mean, come on, our shirts are gonna say "make cheese, not war" on them!

and now the moment you've all been waiting for so you can ceremoniously skip it... the dance portion of this journal! So, for those of you who are still reading this and don't know, I got into advanced this year... sort of. I'm doing it for a month and then... we'll see. Well, I'm not so sure I want to wait out the month. The girls are really unwelcoming (except heather... she's a godsend) and the atmosphere is just really uncomfortable. I think I might go back to pre-advanced if things don't get better, since then I'd be with people I like and get along with and I'd get a senior solo and, frankly, I'd get to be at the top of the class, instead of straggling at the bottom. Call me selfish, but I like to be in the front...

Cosplay updates... for sakuracon I'll be attempting Ritsu from K-ON, Cornelia from Code Geass and Yuan from Tales of Symphonia (weapon, cape and wings, if I can!) with any luck ~Triddy will be Guilford to my Cornelia, so that should be epic. Anyone else venturing up to seattle?

as a parting message to you all, I give you this piece of wisdom:

At least YOU'RE not Scott Miller either...

Rules:
1. Post the rules
2. Answer each question truthfully
3. Tag 3-5 people at the end

---

1. What was your first cosplay? (Think hard on this)
I guess it was chachamaru from negima for halloween in 2006, but that was just closet cosplay. after that it was Plum, so I mostly just count that as my first

2. Did someone get you into cosplay? Or on your own?
Mizuu and CK went to SC '06 and I was kinda jealous and they sorta got me into cosplay with anime club

3. What is your favourite cosplay?
hmm... Used to be Natalia, but I think Alice is my new fave. I just love it so much and it's super comfy!

4. Which is your least favourite?
Sakura for sure. My mom made most of it, so I guess it just wasn't as much fun for me, after all, making it is half the fun!

5. At conventions, do people compliment you on your cosplays?(Unless you're a closet cosplayer you can skip this one)
yeah, but it's mostly me. I have a giant ego and I like to inflate it regularly

6. How many have you done?
9, but 10 if you count chachamaru

7. What are the top 5 on your list of "Want to Cosplay"?

1. Yuan [Tales of Symphonia]
2. someone...? [gankutsuou: the count of monte cristo] (I'd love to be Haydee, but mizuu's got dibs on her. and of course, andrea... but can I really pull him off? suggestions?)
3. Wizard [angelic layer]
4. Cornelia [Code Geass]
5. Dr. Saunders [Dollhouse]


8. (Girls only) What female cosplay do you want to do most?
Cornelia, which I'll probably do for Sakuracon '10

9. What male?
YUAN, DUH!

10. What do you prefer to do, make or buy your costumes?
Make. I can't imagine buying them.

11. Your most memorable experience? What makes it so memorable?
god, I have no idea. I guess AE '08. so many epic things happened (Jade took his clothes off, I married asch, everyone killed Jade... good times)

12. Your dream cosplay?
Valefor from FFX. I'm just dying to get a unitard and just destroy it

13. Is there a pattern in your cosplays? If so, what? (Things like they have a certain personality, or hair colour)
not really. I guess most of my characters so far have had normal colored hair (besides plum) and most of them have been female (except dist... and does he really count?)

14. Your most recent cosplay?
Alice from Tales of Symphonia 2, Norma Beatty from Tales of Legendia and Ty Lee from avatar

15. What do you prefer? Cosplaying in a group or on your own?
I really prefer groups. Plum was fun, but not as much fun as it would've been if I'd had a chi or a kotoko, and photoshoots are always so much fun, so I really prefer to have at least one other person with me.

I TAGZ NO ONES 'CAUSE I'M NICE

]]> ~carrotcakeninja http://carrotcakeninja.deviantart.com/journal/27092665/ http://carrotcakeninja.deviantart.com/journal/27092665/ Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:33:55 PDT Momeiji won the kiriban! so she gets some exciting stuff from me!

Kumoricon was mucho fun this year! I brought way too many costumes, but I got lots of pictures of them, so I'm pretty happy. The location kinda sucked, though. The nearest park was about 3 blocks away and the elevators were pretty much jam packed the whole time so we just used the stairs (luckily we were only on the 4th floor.)

So, for Day 0, ~Momeiji and I stood in line for pre-reg for about an hour while the staff figured out how the lines were gonna go. so we got punted from first in line to last about three times before they finally got it going. I was alice while in line and got about 2 or 3 people who recognized me. most people didn't know who I was or it took some prompting to get them to remember, but I like to think they liked my costume. I changed into dist later for god knows what reason and these two guys came up to me (honestly, I couldn't see anything through my glasses, so I don't know what they were from) but the asked if there was room for two more flaming villains and so we had to take a picture, of course.

On day 1 I started out as plum and we danced a bit before my wig started to die and then my CD player stopped working, so I changed into Alice for a bit and hung out with my Richter and a Lloyd, Genis and Raine for a while. I was point-out-the-obvious-princess (natalia) for the Abyss shoot and (once again) the only one. We had four Jades, though, which was rather awesome and since there was no asch there this time, I sorta mostly chased guy around in circles and clung to my Jade (explaining that in the end it can TOTALLY be canon... you know, he like weirdly touches her shoulder and you're all wtf?) ~mizuu-chan and ~Rogue-White-Dragon and I all changed into our avatar costumes and had a sort of photoshoot. It was kinda dark, though, so a little epic fail and we got yelled at by a guard for climbing on a wall... good fun.

Day 2 was a hectic day. I was Norma in the morning for a quick photoshoot with legendia and then I was Alice for the symphonia photoshoot. I changed into sheena for a photoshoot with ~ToonMasta and then quickly switched back to norma for another legendia shoot. Lots and lots of changing that day...

Day 3 was short, but fun. We were gonna do a royalty photoshoot of natalia and luke, but no one woke up in time, so we started the day off with the obligatory keterbug photoshoot. much raping was done. ~mizuu-chan and I changed into avatar after that and had an avatar photoshoot and that was about it.

and now the moment you've all been waiting for... PICTURES!

Today (yesterday?) ~Momeiji decided to give up on her roxas cosplay and she seemed kind of upset about it, especially 'cause she'd been working so hard and I was super proud of her. I really wanted her to finish, but I didn't want her to explode or anything, so to make her feel better I made her a little present for the con and I really hope she can have a good time even without her roxas costume done.

so, *crystal-kyogre also was unable to finish her costume (aska) so that leaves me with a little bit of flexibility with my schedule. I decided to bring plum after all and I'll be wearing it saturday morning, so keep a lookout for me and ~Momeiji 'cause we'll be wakey-wakey-ing it up with my tambourine~

----

anyway, I finished alice a few days ago... kind of. I have a few detals to do, but for the most part it is passable and the bubble looks pretty decent.

also, I'm almost to 5000 pageviews, so whoever screenshots it can make me do shit. I'm not much of an artist, but you can make me draw if you want. I'd encourage you to request some kind of themed bloomers from me instead, since I find joy in doing that, but if you don't live near me/don't want to give me your address, you can come up with something else.

also, the reign of flatness seems to be ending... I have been demoted to lady flat, and has taken the title of her royal flatness. congratulations, I hope you enjoy your new position.

um... school, yeah... I am proud to state that... I AM SENIOR SHRIMP! TAKE THAT, oh yeah, and my schedule:

S1
1. off
2. sociology w/ works
3. senior foods w/ hakethorn
4. honors gov w/ works
5: intro theater w/ ms. B
6. "" ""
7. sewing w/ zeller
8. aerobics with williams

S2
1. off (might change to TA with bazanele 'cause I wanna help out with french one... or creative writing with kamerzelt)
2. off (might change to TA with bazanele 'cause I wanna help out with french one... or creative writing with kamerzelt)
3. Creative Writing w/ griffin
4. Creative Writing w/ griffin
5. AP French w/ bazanele
6. AP French w/ bazanele
7. off (maybe switch to TA for griffin, since she asked me to, or mythology)
8. off (maybe switch to TA for griffin, since she asked me to, or mythology)

in other news... IT'S RAINING. WTF, SKETCHY WIZARDS? also, I kinda maybe wrote a song this morning at around 5:30... yeah, I didn't go to sleep until 6... I need help.

So, speaking of early morning thingies, I realized at around 4 AM that I had a note on cosplay.com... It was someone asking me if I did commissions for natalia's props. So, now that is the question, do I?

pros:
1. MONEY! $__$
2. practice with pvc etc.
3. maybe more commissions after this one which means... MORE MONEY!

cons:
1. less time to work on my own stuff
2. I kinda like being one of the only Natalia's with accurate props... I realize this makes me massively egotistical, which I am, but it is a valid concern... you know, if you're as ridiculously self-centered as I am

so, what think you, friendies?

edit: holy crapmuffins! I forgot!

and I went to disneyland! It was awesome 'cause I usually only get to see her once a year, but I got to hang with her and ride big thunder mountain three times in the same day! The highlights of our adventure were going on soarin' in CA adventure, the shortest line ever at pirates of the carribean, riding BTM at night and getting hit on by starwars nerds. Pretty damn epic.

anyway, my cousin got married in orange county so that's why I was down there and I gotta say... orange county is where morals go to die T__T but on the brightside, my cousin's new inlaws are awesome and polish...

Part of being a mature adult is having a sense of boundaries. Frankly, you've all overstepped them and made a mountain out of a molehill. What should have a small personal disagreement has become a social vendetta.

You all say you don't want any drama, but here you are creating more. You're dragging everyone else down with you in this inescapable vortex of internet blogging. Honestly, I'm sick of coming online only to find that the 14 messages in my inbox are all just bitch fights. I counted, and between the four of you who should be the only ones involved in this drama, you've written 6 journals. Now, when you first think about this, it might sound reasonable; 1.5 per person. In this situation, I'd allot one for the original rant and 1/2 for the resolution. Unfortunately, this "fight" hasn't yet been resolved.

So, to be more specific:

: What happened that involved you was ridiculous. it wasn't your fault, although perhaps it was perceived the wrong way by some. I don't even know what happened, but I thank you for backing down and, if not exactly resolving this conflict, at least you made an effort.

: I understand why you're angry, but maybe you need to try talking about your problems with people other than your best friend. Maybe you misunderstood what was said and should confront the person who offended you instead of assuming the worst.

: SHUT THE FUCK UP AND SIT DOWN! out of the 6 journals, half of them were yours. If you want to fix this, you need to stop talking about it to everyone online, and start talking to people about it in person. Instead of sulking, suck it up and admit that maybe both parties were at fault. Not everyone who stands up to you is a bad guy. I understand that you're going through a rough patch (and you have my sympathies) but that's no excuse to feed the flames.

: first off, I appreciate your lack of online involvement in this. You understand that personal fights are PERSONAL. so, for that I thank you. however, maybe you need to think about what you want to say before you say it and maybe learn when to hold your tongue. Talk civilly with your opposition and not over the phone.

so, in conclusion, you're not as cunning as you think you are; just because you bash people, doesn't give you cred. If I see another journal about this, don't expect me to coddle you and tell you everything's gonna be okay... 'cause it won't.

Shut the fuck up, or get the fuck out. (and make me a fucking sandwich, while you're at it)

on another note regarding wigs, I got my other wigs too and alice is perfect! unfortunately my norma wig's a little... dark, but it'll work. I think it'll look fine, so hopefully that'll work out. Also, on the offchance that anyone needs a short purple wig, I have two up for grabs, as well as my old natalia wig which can be de-curled and returned to it's slightly less scary form. After K-con, my black wig'll be up too, so... anyone needs wigs, I've got some that I have no use for...

Right now, I'm currently running on zero hours of sleep and a ton of coffee. I'm on about... my fourth wind and I think the hairspray fumes are starting to get to me. I've been up for more than 24 hours and I wouldn't be surprised if I just dropped dead from exhaustion. Anyway, wish me luck in my wig endeavors and I wish you luck with yours... if... you know, you have some...

**********
so, these are the thoughts on the movie:

Snape = Hawt

yeah... those are my thoughts...


okay, here are my other thoughts:

malfoy's suit? wtf guys... isn't there a dresscode at hogwarts? well, anyway, I'm not complaining because he looks rather fine in his suit. Speaking of clothes, though, I soooooooooooo want luna's dress. actually, I just want to be luna. I'd be good at it! being ape shit crazy? I could totally give up my life of boredom for hers...

anyway, the movie on a whole wasn't that bad. actually, it was rather good. I think it's my favorite so far, although it was one of my least favorite books. It wasn't entirely true to the book (hello! crazy burning field scene?) and the whole harry/ginny element was a little off (what with all the hints to it but then them never getting together) but w/e. I still liked it.

also, snape is really hot. shut up, he is. and 's mom agree with me. yes I realize her mom's older... and so therefore it's less creepy that she thinks a 50 year old man is attractive, but at this point I need all the backup I can get.

*********

so, in a nutshell, go watch it, it's good.

I spent $200 on cosplay the other day... yeah... 70 on fabric for norma and 130 on wigs. I got a new natalia wig too, 'cause my old one was teh suxzores. So, I'll be periodically getting stuff in the mail yay!

for those of you who never called me, for the record, my machine said, in my own special freaky dist voice:

Well done, my old friend, you've reached the super ultra gorgeous fon of Natalia loser of the game kimlasca lanvaldear the Rosiee. Please leave your name and number and I'll write it down in my revenge journal *maniacal laughter*

yeah, I'm sure you're all like "wtf? why is this important?" but it is awesome because we can totally have a band... like a real band... A BAND GAIZ!!!!!! WE CAN BE TEENAGERY AND MUSICAL! *shot*

anyway, in other news... I have 51 bug bites due to sleeping overnight at Alana's house outside. when I say sleeping, I really mean swatting at mosquitos and trying not to watch my friend making out with the german exchange student until 5 AM at which point Alana and I went inside and slept for about an hour and a half...

so, today's the 4th of July... the one day it's okay to make loud exploding noises until 3 AM and I... AM FUCKING SICK! you know, sort of... in a girly way if you know what I mean. So basically I'm sitting around trying not to throw up and only drink fluids. I have never hated my uterus more than I do right now. if I got in an accident and they had to remove it, I would be so excited!

omg I love applique <3. It's so perty and kinda fun to do! however, I fucking hate heat 'n bond... maybe I just suck at using it. hopefully I'll figure it out and all will be well with the world. So, I'm slowly making progress on Alice, which is good, but I'm not making progress as quickly as I would like. I haven't even started norma... I need to order fabric. I can't decide, though, if I should get 3 or 4 yards of yellow... anyone have any ideas? Oh, and then I might be cosplaying Ritsu from K-ON (which is awesome, btw!) so that makes my cosplay docket pretty full for K-con (heh... pretty fitting... K-ON for K-CON XD *shot*)

So, for the three weeks I've been lolling around my house I've gained weight which has showed up as a tummy and now oddly existent boobs. MUST EXERCISE TO GET RID OF STRANGLE LUMPS THAT HAVE MANIFESTED ON MY CHEST!!!!!

ah, yes, dance starts next week! I'll be doing an hour and a half on mondays and wednesdays and then 4 on tuesdays and 2.5 on thursdays. I'm hoping this gets rid of the excess body fat I've accumulated and also makes me ripped as a ripped thing! However, along with summer dance comes the obligatory summer dance drama. Advanced is just inches from my fingertips at this point and I really really REALLY fucking want it. If you don't know that you're an idiot, since it's like... all I think about anymore. So, people keep telling me that it's between me, and my friend Alanna, but there's also Ariel who's in college but is coming back to dance with us next year 'cause she's going to the community college here and another girl too. So there's 5 of us vying for who knows how many spots. Infact, there might not be ANY spots... who knows! well, 7, although the most magically powerful number (<3 harry potter) it's a CRAPPY number for dance 'cause it's prime. so I'm hoping Donna goes for 8 or 9. BLAAAAAAAAARG enough of this crap...

OMG GAIZ! I HAS A TAN!!!!!!! wtf, right? I'm like... super pastey, rivaled only by , maybe... and I have the redhead gene where I don't tan, I just burn, so wtf? I have MAJOR tanlines... DEEEEEEEAAAAAAATH

EDIT: wow... I just realized I'm dangerously close to 4000 PVs. I'd offer whoever get's it something, but I don't really have much to offer... I'll pull a fernando and say that if you're someone I know IRL you can make me do something irrationally stupid and if not eh... I dunno you think of something, my brain's tired

So, to start off my fantabulous day, I woke up at 8 AM (EIGHT!!!!!!!?!?!? DEAR GOD THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME) with a sort of caffeine hangover from all the iced tea I drank last night. Afterward I went to a going away party for a friend which was kinda depressing but fun at the same time. At this party I inadvertently discovered that someone I thought was my friend hates me and has hated me for a long time. And then while biking home from the fabric store, talking about how we are boyfriendless and shit, and I got yelled at by a homeless man. He said, and I quote: "you women have forsaken men! We'll never come back to you." and then something along the lines of "you're doomed to be lonely forever" etc.

So, even though my head hurts, I have one less person I can count among my friends, and I'm doomed to be lonely forever, I can at least take comfort in the fact that at least I'm not scott fucking miller.

on another note, AE is next weekend... AND I'M MISSING IT! I know, it's a tragedy, but I'll get over it someday, like when I'm 90 and have Alzheimer's and forget my name and stuff. Anyway, I hope all of you who are going have a fantastic time. Take lots of pictures of I will hunt you down and... things will ensue... things like death and massive slayage (like Buffy. It'll be super epic and kunf-fu-ie) anyway, my point: take pictures!

So, 8 days until schools out! I most certainly have As in english (92%), creative writing (98%), and AP US (94%), but French is on the verge... just gotta do all my makeup work. If I get a B in Math I'll be SUPER happy (got an 82% at this point, but that's pre final and pre chapter 13 test so...) So, that's my current academic status...

oh yeah, and I'm having an identity crisis over whether I should be a starving writer under a bridge or a starving teacher hoping the no child left behind act gets repealed soon so I can have a higher salary. God, the education system is truly fucked. on the bright side, I have a meeting with Mrs. Griffin planned for some time next week, so I can talk to her about it and she can advise me in her excellent advisingy way.

what else... oh yeah! I'm an unfeeling bitch! I had to write really nice notes to everyone in my creative writing class today, and I meant what I said for about... 7 of them. the rest I fudged majorly and I had a stomach ache after being so nice for so long. I really wanted to punch a kitten or something... I got out my anger by being mean to scott fucking miller, though. Twas good fun.

anyway, au revoir! I must study for my math final!

There are three simple facts about me that you should all know so as not to make me hate the crap out of you. They are:

1. I hate most of the world
2. I am ALWAYS PMSing
3. I actually DO have a personal bubble. Do NOT invade it or else you WILL die.

The most important of those is the last. My personal bubble is two feet around me in every direction. TWO FUCKING FEET! THAT'S NOT HARD TO ADHERE BY! but yet... some people just CANNOT seem to get that in their heads. There are a total of 5 people on this earth who can invade my personal bubble without asking. TWO of them are on dA. If you think you are one of those people, you are wrong (unless, of course, you are one of them... in which case, you are right. If you are magically both of them, you are probably a unicorn)

There is, however, the few exceptions that make the rule. They are:

1. if I look particularly depressed/am crying you may ask if I need a hug. If I say yes, you may proceed to hug me for no more than three seconds.
2. if you are also a person who does not enjoy physical contact, you may hug me on occasion because I know if you feel like hugging me, it's out of genuine... whatever the hell it is.
3. if you are particularly sad, I will give you a hug, if you want.
4. If I am at con/country fair, my bubble gets left at home

If the situation does not meet any of those four circumstances, please do not hug me, touch me, or exist any less than two feet away from me.

So, just to clear this up... No, I'm not a germaphobe, no, I'm not claustrophobic (as I have pretended for the last couple of weeks) and No, I am not feeling any more annoyed at the world than I usually am, I am simply fed up with it and decided it was time to let you all know: I need my space, so you'd better the hell give it to me.

Thanks for listening! Ciao~

P.S. if you're from P-town, you are exempt. You're all way too awesome and I don't see any of you enough to be bothered if you hug me.

P.P.S. Dance teachers are immune to bubbles... it is a law of nature

So, for starters, it was the day of silence, which is usually an awesome day anyway. And, no, that was not the only reason it was a good day. There were some specific instances that made it awesome.

I guess this one falls under yesterday, but at dance, Donna had me demonstrate laterals. If there's one thing I'm proud of, it's my lateral swings, so this was awesome! Unfortunately, she made me do them like... 40,000 times and then again when we all did them, so now my sides hurt like hell...

so, now to today: At lunch, Scott fucking Miller (yes, I did just give him a new middle name) kept trying to make me talk. So, at some point during lunch I traded my pudding for some curly fries with . Unfortunately, SfM (also, yes, I have now given him an acronym) is also a fan of curly fries, and so he tried to steal mine. In the scuffle, I apparently cut his hand with my very, incredibly blunt fingernails. So, now he has a bloody cut on his hand and part of his fingernail got torn off

after school I ended up going to the riverfront with alanna and merissa and we taught her to do a carwheel (I WAS going to just go home and sleep, but I changed my mind, since I was hungry and it was so nice out.) So, then I went to the fun in the sun thingy and one of the guys running it was this super cute german exchange student. I ended up running the ticket stand and he pretty much hung out there with me the whole time <3 Why are foreign boys so much nicer and so much pertier? I need to like... to move to france or something.

Well, anyway, apart from my newly sprained arch(es) and ridiculously sore obliques, I've had a pretty awesome couple of days!

]]> ~carrotcakeninja http://carrotcakeninja.deviantart.com/journal/24230387/ http://carrotcakeninja.deviantart.com/journal/24230387/ Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:05:59 PDT
anyway, I had a great time hanging out with , and again, and of course and were there with me. I took tons of pics, and you should be expecting the usual flood of post-con photos.

so, I was only yuki on the precon day, so there's a total of one photo of me in that costume, and at that I'm in the BG of it XD. Plum was a huge sucsess with wakey wakey, of course, but I ended up throwing out my back, pulling my hamstring and spraining my arch while in that costume. I wore sheena on friday and it was fun, but I'm thinking I'll wear it to K-con and that'll be it for that costume (since I'll have alice and yuan too...) Natalia was fun too. People were taking pictures of me who didn't even know who she was, which was weird, 'cause like... it's natalia. But I guess that makes sense, 'cause anyone who did know who she was would be like "Natalia... eww," except like... me. Same goes for Dist, although he's super ultra gorgeous, so... I absolutely LOVE that costume! so much fun to wear... gotta be aware of the collar flopping all the time, though.

well, anyway, I had a lot of fun, and I missed all of you that couldn't make it! Now I gotta start working on norma and alice for K-con...

]]> ~carrotcakeninja http://carrotcakeninja.deviantart.com/journal/24138728/ http://carrotcakeninja.deviantart.com/journal/24138728/ Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:48:04 PDT
Anyway, at last the bow is finished, and my dist collar has been painted. I put my sweat, blood and tears into that thing... no, really, I did. Pins are sharper than you might thing... and, well, my parents were watching marley and me in the other room, so it was like... a sob fest for me.

so, just some last minute hand sewing to do, which I'll probably do in the car on the way up, and then I'm done! oh, and I gotta paint my mask, but that shouldn't be too painstakingly awful. Anyway, I'm super excited and I can't wait to see those of you who're going, and to those of you who can't make it, you will be missed!

well, I'm leaving for Seattle in approximately 13 hours, so, see you all there (or you know, not there... )

]]> ~carrotcakeninja http://carrotcakeninja.deviantart.com/journal/24101676/ http://carrotcakeninja.deviantart.com/journal/24101676/ Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:09:32 PDT
glue dist collar
paint dist collar
paint design on dist's arm bands that may or may not be nazi symbols (no one knows)
figure out a way to attach dist's collar to my tailcoat
dist glasses
new Natalia bow

yeah, last night at about 8 at night I started a new project: the ACURATE natalia bow! I'm currently at the painting stage, so hopefully I'll finish painting the brown tonight (gotta do like... 4 coats or something) and then I can finish up the detailing tomorrow night or wednesday night.

as it stands, my cosplay schedule for Sakuracon looks like this, and this is somewhat tentative...

Thursday: Yuki
Friday: Plum (morning) Sheena (afternoon) Dist (night)
Saturday: Natalia (morning/afternoon) Dist (evening) Yuki (night)
Sunday: Natalia

I haven't decided if maybe I want to wear plum on Saturday morning too or maybe Yuki... I dunno, anyone wanna weigh in?

yeah... if you don't know what I'm talking about by now, you really need rescue your brain from the 12 foot pit of poisonous snakes it fell in last week...

so, anyway, in light of sakuracon being so near and me being so totally not finished with my costumes, I thought I'd take this moment to ABSOLUTELY FREAK OUT! I've pretty much waisted my spring break doing... nothing. AWESOME! true, I got my wig cut and got my gloves and shoes, but as of yet, the only thing that's actually finished for my dist costume are my pants. The shirt is nearly done, and the coat is... MAYBE a quarter of the way done, and the collar is well on its way, but seriously... I have the rest of today, tomorrow and then next weekend to work. Maybe tuesday of next week, if I'm lucky and my teachers don't hate me.

So far, I've given myself carpel tunnel sewing bias tape by hand onto Guy boots for a friend, (and believe me, I will NEVER offer to "help" someone with their costume again unless they can prove they can actually sew) my sewing machine has attempted to eat my fabric multiple times, and I sliced my finger open with a scissor. Oh, and I've managed to procrastinate my 28 math problems, 5 pages of freewriting, and 300 pages of the count of monte cristo... YAY!

in better news, I finally finished the main storyline for Legendia. Yeah, I know, took me long enough... after two years of playing it I finally figured out how to target people with healing spells (I play Norma, and knowing how to target people saved me a crapload of life bottles). So, now it's onto the character quests for me... when I finally get around to playing more of it.

Well, I'm off to procrastinate more and run my finger under cold water, since it keeps throbbing... damn scissors... why are you so sharp?! So, taa taa for now!

"Someday you'll know I was the one... and though I lose a friend in the end you will know. One day you'll find that I have gone, but tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun."

get it? no? sucks for you!

EDIT: egad, I should update you all on the cosplays, eh? well, Distie is... partially done... got the pantoloons and half of the red shirt... hopefully that'll get done this weekend and I can use spring break for the tailcoat and collar (and also... what the hell to do about his shoes...?)

I have decided not to do a second one for sakuracon (not because I don't have time... even though I don't... SHUT UP! I WOULD MAKE TIME) but because my schedule for the con is full. If I had another costume to wear... I wouldn't have time for anything else. So, as it stands, I'll be wearing plum, dist, natalia and sheena for S-con and MAYBE Yuki, if I have time... or maybe dist in yuki's clothes? could be funny... and would also explain this: [link]

for Kumoricon, it looks like I'll be making my Alice and Norma costumes (plus dist and Nat... maybe sheena and plum?)

and Sakuracon '10 it'll be Yuan and the oh so sexy Suzaku in his knight of the rounds costume (which is pwn and I will wear everywhere... all the time <3)

so, sorry about this little clog of your inbox... enjoy!

Anyway, on the brightside, we spent 3 of those 13 bashing twilight in a rather genius book review, and we made two hilarious trips to freddies. On the downside, I was at school from 10 AM until Midnight and I gotta say, the school is fucking terrifying at night. They turn off all the lights at 8, and when it's only you, two guys and your teacher in the building, it gets almost a little drama-esque. Like one of those serial killer situations. Fucked up...

Dunno why I even bothered to post this, but wtf. Might as well, I guess... Yeah, you don't get a little meaningless thingy today, I'm far too tired. Night Night world!

Finals are OVER! thank god! I just checked my english grade and I scraped through with a 90.8%! so, that's all As this semester for me! I think I pretty much aced my french test, and I'm totally starting to think in french sometimes. I had my first- okay, second, dream in french the other night. (the first one doesn't count though, 'cause it was in french, but I couldn't understand any of it... and I was doing ballet with asians who wore plaid leotards... ) Unfortunately... that means I start my new classes on wednesday. No off blocks... eww... well, on the brightside I start creative writing with Mrs. Griffin, so with any luck I'll have a crapload of stuff to show off on here. Then again, I star advanced pre calculus... and I hate math, so I'll have literally no time for anything with math homework every night.

So, on a slightly less boring note, I still haven't started working on cosplay... I've set up a schedule for myself, though, and this weekend I have to order my dist wig, pre reg for sakuracon, re-style my Natalia wig (which will consist of 122 hair rollers, inhaling a million tons of hairspray and then hoping it deflates- but on BOTH sides this time) and sewing my dist pants. If all goes well, I'll get the jacked partially done too. Of course, things will not go well and I'll be lucky if I get 2 of those things done. Also, I am still not sure what else I'll cosplay for sakuracon. I feel like I have a billion things I want to do, but I have to save them for when I'll have a group. anyone got suggestions? (no, seriously... anyone?) Oh yeah! also, I found this giant ass prop for plummy! it's a closepin and I swear it's huge as a... huge thing.

speaking of schedules, I've decided to try to get a fair amount of writing done this weekend. I'd like to finish my super lengthy prologue finished and another two or three stories at least mapped out, if not started. I'd also like to break my unhealthy addiction to Jadist fanfictions (wait, who the hell am I kidding? no I wouldn't... they are <3) which won't happen... ever... EGAD (yes, I did just say that) I've had another idea for a story thing *writes it down* I swear, I gotta stop having these epiphanies...

and speaking of epiphanies, that brings us to the oh so dreaded topic of dance. I realized... ALL dance words are... FRENCH! like échapper and ronde de jambe and chausser... it's so COOL! it's like... I actually know what they hell it all means and why it means that etc. Also, I'm sore as a... sore thing. I did 60 situps for the situp test (that's one per second!) yeah... I now officially have abs of steel- so, WHY DON'T I HAVE A SIX PACK?!?!?! dammit... also, I pulled my OTHER hamstring, so that means like... no splits for ages.

Let's see, what else can I make you read? oh yes! new discoveries! Alizeé is a brilliant french singer! I love J'ai pas vignt ans and moi lolita. LISTEN TO HER NAO! [link] also, Michael McIntyre = best comedian EVER! Youtube him- he's hilarious! Um... the movie le papillon is reall good too! It's in french, but... subtitles are your friends and it's adorable! oh oh! other good music! Cristophe maé and Emmanuel Moire. I know I've already bothered you all to look them up, but I'm sure you didn't... so to save you the trouble, LINKIES! [link] [link] He's ridiculously handsome, although more-so with a really long wig. So, watch Le Roi Soleil it's sort of wonderful. Oh yeah! all you anime fans, watch nodame cantabile! it's wonderful! gotta wait for the third season, though... arg!

As always, I must leave you with a little piece of wisdom, and as always, it makes very little sense, but as always, here it is: never attempt to tape your ankle with electrical tape.

anyway, I had a considerably better day today than I've had the past two weeks (which consisted of 5 complete mental breakdowns) but thank god today was good, 'cause I really needed a good day. So, a lovely rundown that I'm sure none of you want to read:

so, this morning I walk into school and runs up to me and tells me the breaking news about boy #1, as we shall call him, since he's the closest distance wise to home. He broke up with his girlfriend of 3.5 years who used to be my best friend who is also suicidal and shit... yeah, so anyway, I start of the day with the extremely confusing revelation that this guy I maybe like is no longer taken. So, then I get to watch a movie in AP US, which means I don't have to think, I don't have any french HW, I got a 95 on my english paper (THANK GOD) and I started my helping for the III/IV class and it ROCKS to be in charge! *cue dance rant*

so, donna had to go back home to get something, so I lead the class (i made them do pushups -tee hee-) Anyway, we did a ton of choreography and I choreographed one of the groups's first like... 8 8s or something, and Donna liked it, so 1 POINT FOR ROSIEE! On the downside, it's true what they say about injuries causing more injuries... I sprained my arch, then I pulled a hammie (same leg) and now my knee's all busted (same leg) and now, since I've been compensating for it with the right leg now that foot's all injured up and shit.

anyway, good day... so, I got to nap during aerobics and then boy #2 (the one who lives in a different city) has an almost girlfriend, which... you'd think would upset me, but it like... doesn't. and I don't care THANK GOD! I couldn't wait to get over him, 'cause he's like... annoying and should die in a firey pit for hating crossplay. So, boy #3 (lives in a different country) already knows about the situation with #1, so when he asked about my awesome day and I told him about the new situation with #1, he was like "I'm jealous of him" so, if I lived in Canada... things would be much simpler... So, now I just gotta get over the other two and I can like... not have any drama, it will be wonderful. And we could bury men underground... except the gay ones, we could keep them.


so I don't leave you on that somewhat depressing note but also entirely invigorating prospect of burying men underground, I will just say this: WATCH NODAME CANTABILE! it's wonderful

okay, to explain all that. When my french class sings not only is it embarrassing, it's entirely painful, 'cause... well, just imagine a bunch of teenagers screaming happy birthday really loud... only in french. It's terrifying and I'm only just recovering. We also had a french test today... which SUCKED. I hate having tests on my birthday... however, it was really really really easy, and if I didn't get 100%, I'll be surprised.

The first person to actually wish me happy birthday was my English teacher... do you realize how sad that is? yes, you do. SHUT UP! YOU DO!

also, my foot split during aerobics and I bled all over the floor without realizing it, so, I have a lovely cracked foot! That's what I get for dancing 6+ times a week without using lotion.

Oh, and of course, this morning my dad was trying to get me out of the bathroom and told me he'd gotten me an awesome expensive gift. Now, for the past month I've been hinting that I want an Xbox, so, what goes through my head? "OMGXBOXILOVEYOU!" what did I actually get for my birthday? A martha graham dance calendar (which I admit, is pretty damn cool) a pair of earings that I probably won't ever wear, FFXII which I actually bought for myself, and a little box of altoids. How much does it suck to have your birthday right after christmas? A LOT.

so, now I'm 17... how strange. You know, every year I expect to feel older and have some awesome piece of knowledge like... automatically implanted in my brain, but it never happens. I don't feel 17, and it'll probably take me until my next birthday to get used to it. C'est la vie, I suppose

EDIIIIIIIIIIIIIT: OMG GAIZ! *shot* so, it turns out my parents just didn't tell me yet, but I'm getting a new I-pod (mostly 'cause my mom wants my old one) soooooooo not so terrible birthday in the pressie department after all! I get a shiney new blue 16G that I will put Gankutsuou on and die from happiness! I think I shall name her... Cailin... no... Karys... no... Caelum... I dunno... HEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEE

on the bright-side, my birkenstocks have names now! they are Cornelius and Melinda!

I tried to convince my parents to let me go to anime expo or Comic Con instead, but since I don't know anyone going to AX, that's totally out of the picture, but my cousin lives in San Diego, so if I can find someone who's going who'd be willing to share their adult with me I MIGHT be able to go... although, still, probably not. I might just have to wait until senior year and go to both of them, since I'm dying to.

I apologize for this lovely rant.... especially if you don't care about cons or cosplay... if you really really don't care, I suggest you stop reading here 'cause it's gonna be a cosplay rant after this XD

sooooooo I is planning yus! I meant to work on my Dist costume over the break, but as we know, I didn't do ANYTHING! anyway, other than dist... I feel somewhat... lacking in the new costume department for S-con. Any ideas? (not that I don't have enough...) I kinda want to make my code geass costume for this con, but I kind of want to recruit a CC for it before (I is gonna be Mao =3 *obligatory clap*)

Then again, I could make my Gankutsuou one early, but that'd be useless 'cause I can't decide who yet. If is franz (which I think she's planning on) and is Haidee, then I guess I'll be albert, maybe, but if is the count then I will DEFINATELY be albert (gheyness!) however, if she's Albert, then I will be Eugenie (yay for the three childhood friends!) buuuuuuuuut if I can find a Eugenie... then I will be... dun dun dun... ANDREA THE SICK BASTARDLY LOVELY MAN! He is though... and voiced by Liam O'brien <3 So, I am undecided on who to be, so I suppose it'd be useless to work on that.

Then of course I could work on my Norma cosplay, but without other ToLers I'd feel rather... out of place. And then I could try to get Yuan done, but what would the point be since I've got an Aska and it'd be way too much fun to wear Sheena this time around...

And then I look at my schedule which looks something like this:

Thursday: Yuki (or maybe Dist?)
Friday: morning- Plum Afternoon- Sheena Night- maybe Dist? Maybe Yuki?
Saturday: morning- plum afternoon- Natalia Night- Dist
Sunday: Dist pretty much all day, probably...

so, where would I even put in another cosplay? if I didn't bring Yuki to the con, I might be able to get away with it, but I love all my costumes too much to actually retire them. Plummy might have to go after this con, although I might save it and keep wearing it for the mornings of cons, since it's just so much fun!

arg... I need to stop thinking about this shit and do my freaking english homework... tis evil, but it must get done... I apologize for this, you didn't need to read it at all... I'm just ranting to get it out of my system. Unfortunately, it's still in my system, as well as another rant that is just about ready to be shared with the world that doesn't give a damn! yay! well, I shall once again leave you with a perplexing thought:

Carpet Bags... wtf?

Richter... wow... he's like the love child of Jade and Kratos... also, does he have the same mentality as Lloyd about the if one sword is 100 power, than a sword and an ax equal... more? 'cause he's actually right... he kicks ass!

new voice actors SUCKED. It burned my ears every time one of them spoke... and I found myself actually appreciating Collette 'cause she's the only one who stayed the same.

Also, I totally did a happy dance that lasted about twenty minutes when I met Yuan. I really wanted to freak out and call or and freak out, but it was kind of like... two in the morning...

so, now, for those of you who have also played it, here comes a long spoiley rant, so if you haven't finished it, don't read that bit...



--SPOILERS--

omg richter... wow... the ending totally caught me offgaurd. I was like "oh, he has to be evil! he's just so... awesomely evil!" but apparently I can be fooled (no freakin duh) but anyway, I totally cried, mostly because my contact got folded over and that sucked, so I had to go fix it XDDDD

also... KRATOS IS LOVELY! I thought I would DIE... infact, I did die! It was so beyond awesome that he was in it for a total of... fifteen seconds? if you missed it, go play it again! twas at the tower of salvation before you talk to martmart right before the ginnungagap-- which is the BEST word EVER XD and... YUAN HAS A LAST NAME! I've been trying to figure out what it was for about three years now, and they FINALLY tell you! Yuan Ka-Fai... what a wonderful name! <3

hmm... anyone else notice the weird implied sheenaXregal? (sheegal XDDD sounds like cheagle and seagul *is shot*) it sort of burned my brain, so I had to go read sheelos fics for rehab, which was lovely!

--END SPOILERS--

sooooo other things I've been doing... I've been playing Legendia, as you probably know... Still stuck at the final boss, but for the... one? maybe two of you who've played it, I shall subject you to TORTURE:

--SPOILERS--

wtf... Wally was lovely... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY did he have to evil? and Nelly? wtf... sooooooooo hard to beat! I finally figured out how to target people with resurrection XD *plays norma* so that might help, but I think I need to have a serious farming session

--END SPOILERS--

in other news, I HAS CONTACTS! they itch, and are uncomfortable, but at least I'll be able to see at cons and during dance class! and maybe I can get purple ones for my disty cosplay, not that anyone will be able see my eyes with my lovely fogged up glasses, but AUTHENTICITY FTW!- right?

anyway, time to get that obama=yay journal out of the way. Soooooooooo um... SNOW! yeah... I'm sure you've all noticed we've had a nice little snow stormy type thing, and I conveniently mention it now that it's all melting...

in other news, my life is boring...? I hit the 30 hour mark in tales of legendia, after about 3 years, and it's finally starting to get good. It seems a little lame that I'm about halfway through before the game gets decent, but oh well. I also cried when a certain character who's actually annoying as hell died, so that's a good sign. (anything that makes me cry is good... usually)

so, christmas in 5 days, but Chanukah in one! I get ToS2 tomorrow night, and I will be playing it all break...

herm........APHRODITE! sorry, had to be done. well, I'll leave you to your important lives of... stuff with these words of advice:

Never eat an orange and a pickle at the same time. It is DISGUSTING.

Dear Jaaaaaaaaade (i.e. ):

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it last night in your closet and I saw you sit on my mustard soufflé. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand that I got a sex change. I'm returning the couch cushions to you, but I'll keep your mom as a memory. You should also know that I told in my confession today about eggplant-fetishism .

Go Burn,

on another note, so is Philippe.

and on another note, so is the duke de beaufort

and Marie is lovely...

so is Madam de Montespan. She's fantabulous.

In a nutshell, FRENCH PEOPLE ARE AWESOME- er, I mean, watch Le Roi Soleil. it's fantabulous: [link]

aaaaaaaaaand

I have discovered the new and lovely thing called honey dejon kettle chips. they are wonderful and are my muse food. good things come out of my pencil when I eat them. That came out way weirder than it was suppose to...

Um... also, I'm dangerously close to the 2000 PV mark, which is strange to think about... this means I should probably do something for you all... however, I am a lazy ass and probably won't. But, for the sake of... conformity, if you screenshot it, I may give you something cool. like food, 'cause I never draw anything perty, and uh... you can always make me write something, but uh... good luck coming up with something to make me write... erm anyway... I leave you with this parting thought:

anyway, why are my eyebrows purple? because I just got back from an anime convention! er... that still doesn't explain it, huh, oh well!

so, Kumoricon was awesome! It actually seemed way longer than it was just because of the friday precon. We hung out in the mall A LOT and pranced about the convention center and park too...

so, cosplays for the weekend were Plum/Sumomo from Chobits- I did the wakey wakey dance practically the whole 3 or 4 hours I was wearing it too- Sheena Fujibayashi from Tales of Symphonia- I'm the worse sheena ever... I LOST Corrine. Yeah, I lost him- Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear- or as well like to call her, Natalia LOSER Kimlacsa Lanvaldear. Had a lot of fun hanging with the abyss group. DIST (MarluxiaJade now fondly known as MarluxiaJadeDistKyon) WAS AWESOME!!! LOVE HER! She was so... epically Distlike. And our photoshoots in the mall were epic. Let me just say: Frying pan=hat to Natalia- and I was Yuki Nagato on the last day- It was totally epic. We did cosplay chess and I was a pawn... w00t. I totally read half of my book while doing it too... pretty damn epic...

AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE PURPLE EYEBROWS!!!!!!- okay, okay, so, since yuki has purple hair... I had to have eyebrows to match... and I didnt' bother washing it out, so... I'm a redhead with purple eyebrows. hurrah!

so, I also lost my camera at the con. I'm hoping someone found it and turned it in to the lost and found... well, I'm optimistic... about practically everything right now XD.

edit: oh yeah, and I got to hang out with all my con friends!!!!! It was the shit! oh, wait, there were only three that I knew from other cons XD. There was MarluxiaJadeDistKyon, who I see like... everywhere. I've seen her at two cons before without ever actually hanging out with her... how weird?

then there was manchii! He's totally my hero 'cause he found my tambourine for me when I lost it at K-con 07! He is also now my official stalker! w00t

and then there is, dun da dun! Bryce! my first con-buddy like... ever! I had a great time hanging out with him at the pre con and on monday at cosplay chess! And I'm totally going to help him make his Guy costume for Sakuracon (totally going to abuse him to no end...)

see see? I fixed it now! XD

so, I just finished all my cosplay stuff. And when I say all, I mean all. only not XD. All, except my natalia wig... which is being a pain and NOT CURLING DAMMIT! ahem...

so... other than finishing sewing all my shit, the most exciting thing that's happened to me is...

I GOT INTO PRE-ADVANCED!!!!!!! oh, yes, the return of the dance drama! But hopefully it'll be good drama this year, in that it goes my way instead of screwing me over XD. So, I'm taking the Vs class and the Pre-Adv and then in october I audition for another pre-adv dance. I'm almost positive I'll get in, though, 'cause Donna was really excited that I was going to do it and it MIGHT be the african dance WHICH WOULD ROCK!!!! on the not so great side, we might have to resort to wearing leopard print leos... although Donna's determined to avoid that if at all possible. I'll also be auditioning for the student choreographed dance. I don't think I'll submit choreography, since I'm not very confident in that ability, but I'll defo go for being in one of the dances! I also might be a helper for one of the classes too... so, I could be taking up to 6 or 7 classes a week... which would be INSANE. so hopefully it'll just be 5 or so, but yeah...

oh, yeah, and...

MY LIFE IS DOOMED! as Mizuu pointed out to me...

So, I feel the need to share this ridiculous dream with everyone...

It took place in France and I was an Exchange student along with Lauren. She'd already been there for a few weeks, though, so when I got there to be with my host family she was already ajusted. I kept speaking french to everyone, but NO ONE understood me... then I realized that my host family was asian... so I randomly switched to Japanese which I could suddenly speak really well... and then the Natalia cosplayer, Jing, showed up at my ballet class... and we were both in costume... and failing miserably, because we couldn't move in our ruffles, not to mention I've never done ballet... and then everything went plaid and I woke up.

I apologize to everyone who actually read that... it is entirely strange

I'd like to leave it at that, but there's a lot of shit to write about so....

UPDATE ON ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE! this includes: food, dogs, and anime.

okay, okay, fine. I'll ramble about my family reunion and dance in here probably... hurray!

okay, so, I had sausage for breakfast...

food part=done

there are two, yellow dogs at my house right now... why? I have no idea

dog part=done

ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

so... I really want to see gankokadl;kfjkld whatever it is count of monte cristo... REALLY BAD. it looks so pretty!!!! oh, and I watched 10 episodes of Law of Ueki... WTF EP 6!?!?!?!?! and uh... I watched all of the first season of full metal panic... I don't remember much of it, 'cause I was making a plushie while I was doing it, so I didn't actually read all the subs... which is problematic...

and...... COSPLAY! hmm... I found a kitty for my Yuki cosplay... AND A FREAKING GUITAR! WHO PWNS AT LIFE? oh... that would not be me... huh... damn... um... Natalia's sorta getting there... I do love ruffles, but seriously... wtf? sometimes I wish I were a 17th century man so I could wear them all the time without looking ridiculous... I would look ridiculous anyway, huh... OMG I COULD BE A 17TH CENTURY GAY MAN! *ahem*

er... yeah

I did a ton of pushups yesterday, so I can't lift my arms... hurrah!

oh, and I'm off to the torturous family reunion tomorrow... If I can survive it, I will tell you all about the horrors of staying with people, who don't understand the concept of recycling, for a week...

and now the thing you've all been waiting for! Poading's love life update:

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

(don't say I told you so, and that means you Mizuu... and anyone else who predicted it long long ago... the cosmic horn rears it's ugly head once more...)

oh and...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAZ!

I have just spent the last half hour bawling my eyes out. do you know what about? FREAKING GEORGIA NICOLSON! It's not supposed to be a sad book, you know, it's supposed to be freakishly hilarious, not freakishly depressing... oh well, hopefully things will right themselves in the next 150 pages...

let me list the shitty/goody things that happened to me today

bad things:
One of my friends tried to set up another girl with one of (XD) the guys I like
That same friend called another of my friends and now I will never be able to call him on that phone again, just in case he has caller ID
I got a blister on my toe doing a pirouette on the sidewalk
I'm SUPER out of shape
the fireworks sucked
I'm still a fucking american... damn
I ate a whole bag of kettle corn... I hate kettle corn... a lot, but I guess I'm just addicted to food

good things:
I danced to crappy old people music
pretended to be french
Mizu slapped me (yes, this is good)

stupid mood icon...

yeah... I accidentally died it blond a while back, so it's nice to be back to a more... Posiee-ish colour. Hurray! Also, this way I won't feel guilty about buying my Natalia Wig!

erm... that's it... totally pointless journal. Gomen.

ARG! the mood thing is... annoying

so, I've got some sad stuffs, and some happy stuffs, soooooo I'll start with the happy stuffs, even though the sad stuff is better XD.

I'MA GOIN' TO ANIME EVOLUTION!!!! I think... so says YAY! but... that also means I gotta finish my natalia costume a week early, and fix my Yuki one... so, my to do list cosply-wise:

belt, cape, hat, cat for yuki
EVERYTHING for Natalia... except the ruff, 'cause I did that... and it's amazing and I love it and need to go back to the 17th century and become a man so I can wear them like a normal person... not that normal people would ever wear them and now I'm babbling hurray!

anyway, I got my fabric which was awesome! I also died my hair... I meant for it to be red, but it kinda turned out a little too blond for me... unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you take it, it looks like natalia's hair colour. I really liked the wig I was going to get, but I might just use my own hair... but I really want that wig... hmm...

so, the sad stuffs...

I FINISHED TOTA!!!

err... yeah, it's sad... IT'S FRIGGIN' OVER! (and friggin' depressing) finished it with me tonight... or, I guess, yesterday... since it's 2:30 AM... but anyway, I was all teary at the end and then she left and I was like "I'm going to be fine!" but then like... 20 minutes later it was like FLOOD!!!! I buried myself in bad fanfictions, and I feel better now... and now I get to look forward to the catalyst weapons quest (yurray for the spoiler that accidently told who accidentally told me. IT MAKES ME SO FRIGGIN' HAPPY) and I get to look forward to replaying it with ridiculous costumes!

so, now I gonna go sleep... maybe... maybe not, actually....

so, I think I may have the general horn... this is bad... very bad... I'd like to blame it on pms, but unfortunately, in this case, the p would have to stand for post, not pre... Let's put it this way, I like this one boy... as we know... he lives far (ish) away... YAY! but then... I keep having this strange re-occurring dream about this one guy that I... HATE... like... there are no words to describe how much I hate him... It's just one huge giant feeling of a need to inflict death upon him every time I see him... and then this other guy just broke up with his girlfriend and my red bottomy/general horn goes 'OH MY!' and does a bit of a dance... wtf... My brain's a slut.

so, basically, we have all these weird ass jumps in our dance that go off stage and every time I do them I either run into the shinbuster (light), the curtain, or Emily, who just ran into the curtain... so basically I'm fucked for the recital... I swear, someone's actually going to die this year.

So, I've pretty much resigned myself to a B in physics and global studies, but that means I have to have As for the rest of my entire high school career if I want to stay in NHS, which I do... so, woe is me! I"m also going to be up at ridiculous hors of the night doing my essays. HURRAY!

I'm gonna go peacefully wait for apocalypse now... night night.

so, as we all know... I'M A FREAK- uh... I'm a writer/editor/book fanatic... unfortunately, I have a huge bias against certain novels that are incredibly popular because I see ideas used in them that have been completely stolen from, in my opinion, better, more deserving authors. For instance, Eragon... yeah, I read the... first... page? for a start, the writing... uh... yeah, he's 19 I guess he's not that experienced, but honestly, I really hated his writing... seriously, I know 15, 16... 10 yearolds who can do better (yeah yeah, I'm an arrogant ass, sue me. I think I'm better) but anyway, apart from that... ideas... stolen almost directly from the lord of the rings, dragon riders of pern, crown of stars, etc. some of my favorite books, all of which, mind you, came before it and, I think, are written way better. I've got the same issue with Twilight. yeah, okay, I only read the first few chapters and read summaries on the rest, basically, but I'm not a fan, I'll just say that, although I have more respect for it than Eragon because the author didn't blatantly steal from other authors as far as I know...

so, I now realize, sitting at my desk writing a freaking essay that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about, that I've basically been a judgmental (emphasis on the mental) fool and I haven't even bothered to read these books without hating them, just because they're popular.

er... yeah, I'm an insane Harry Potter fan, so I suppose you could use that against me, but then again, I think J.K. Rowling did a terrible job writing them XD. oh well!

I guess you could call me jealous and you'd be right. You know, that guy who wrote Eragon was 19... that pisses me off. If he'd waited 5 more years, he might have been able to write it better and maybe wouldn't have stolen from great authors. Also, yeah, I'm 16... I love to write and I'm a little bit of an ass, so what, I think there are people more deserving of being published (hint hint!)- people who didn't steal or cheat to get there, basically, I'm bitter.

no, there wasn't any strange argument that triggered this... I just saw naz's message on IM and thought god, why do people like that book, and then I realized... I hadn't actually read it XD.

So, this summer, I've decided to spend a few months reading those books I'm so prejudiced against so that I can at least argue my points against them well, if not come to like them as I do harry potter (like the story, but have no respect for it XD)

er, yeah, I'm expecting some flames about this probably, but at least I'm taking the time to actually back up my points this summer... hopefully I'll either change my mind or at least be able to effectively argue.

now, I never really realized it before now, but wow... that's all I do. draw anime, watch anime, listen to anime music (as well as other J-bands) and cosplay anime... and video games. My life basically revolves around anime... that's how sad my life is. OH WELL!

I blew up at a friend... for like the 5th time this month, and it's only halfway through may... I'd like to credit it to the completely annoying and depressingness of Kaffir boy and the fact that I had no dance today, but that would be lying. basically I'm an ass Hurray!

Speaking of dance, We are so not done... We have like another 30 secs to choreograph and the recital's in 5 weeks... which means we'll have virtually no time to practice. I'm also not that fond of the dance, yeah there are some cool parts, but all in all, I don't like it much... it's really repetitive and kinda boring. So, coming with the end of the year comes... STRESS!!!!!

finals, makeup work, competitiveness of dance etc. I'm under a lot of pressure. I have three tests I need to make up, a paper that was due in april to write, 50 notecards to do and I think there are some notes I'm missing in English, not that it matters since I've got like... 386% in there, or something. Also, comes... yay! the final issue of High-O-Scope. yeah... finals week is going to suck. I'll have to do the layout the week before it, which means no studying for me! Luckily, I'm getting my last installment out this issue which should be out on thursday, so any of you who actually bother reading it will get the last bit next week, probably. So, finals. Global studies.... I failed the first test of the semester, so I'm hoping to do well so I can at least have a B in that class... Physics, I need to do well, considering my beautiful 28% on the first test... ugg. Then there's dance. I have to be practicing all the time and then summer dance will start soon, which means yay competition! I'll be sorta competing with oh, maybe 8 other girls for the 3 apprentice to advanced spots (and maybe one advanced spot, who knows?) as some of you might know, I sucked last year but this year I've really stepped it up but, anyway, I think Donna might still be worried about my commitment, even though I know I'm like... as committed as a committed thing...

er.... anyway, gotta go night night, 'cause sleep will make me better yay...

but, expect more stuffs in your messages, 'cause hopefully I'll be posting some doodles and like... 4 new stories, maybe?

well, night time for me, but I'll be spending the next few days editing like crazy until I deem stuffs ready for DA!

Night night!

well, I'm almost done with my costumes for sakuracon and hopefully I'll finish them tonight. I gotta fix part of sheena's coat thingy and make my boot covers (has anyone else noticed that boot is a really fun word to say?) and I have to make Yuki's shirt and then... I have to order and style my wiggies and get some blue socks and a black shirt that I'm allowed to cut up... oh, and get a white push up bra-ick. So, if I have any time in between, I'll be re-styling my plum wig and remake my bow.

hrm... school is shittified as usual... my English teacher is frankly scary and her student teachers are... stranger than strange. If I learn anything this semester from her other than not to be like her it will be a miracle.

I started Twilight Princess yesterday and I still don't know how to freaking jump over things... I just kinda run around jamming buttons until Epona jumps... and wtf is with the whole wolf thing? maybe I shoulda played other zelda games first, huh?

rant about dance begins here... just warning you in advance

so, this year I'm taking level IV and level V with three other girls, Alanna, Marissa and Hannah. The level IV dance has only 10 people in it, so we're just going for the hell of it... but... one of the girls can't do the dance, so now one of us gets the spot. Recently, Donna asked Alanna to be her helper for one of the little kid classes and she pretty much favors her over me.

For those of you who don't know, last year I went through some crap with dance (being the worst and thinking about quitting and so on) but now I'm over it all and I've gotten really good. I would have loved to have my improvement acknowledged by Donna this year, but she gave the open spot to Alanna. This is going to sound weird and ungrateful and bitchy, but I would have been okay if Donna had picked one of the other two girls, but she's just been showing so much favoritism... it just annoys me.

My main hope right now is that the costume won't fit Alanna (the girl who quit and Alanna are both tall, but Alanna's bigger than she is and I think it won't fit... maybe... I hope) and so Donna will see if it'll fit me, but with my life, I probably won't get it...

[/rant]

Well, I should stop procrastinating and get my work done... but when I'm done with that, I'll try to get through my messages and deviations... if I have time.

Ciao!

Well, I went to see Garth Fagen a couple days ago and it was awesome! I got to meet Garth Fagen and he signed my program! *squee* oh, and one of the dancers was just totally gorgeous. He had a great smile and was totally ripped! He signed my program too

well, then we (meaning me, Jeulese, her mom and her sister) went back to a friend's house in Eugene... but then it snowed and we thought we would be snowed in but no... we got out okay and got home.

So, anyway, let's see, what else... hmm, Well I got some yummy stuffs for my birthday and a couple shirts. and Chrimboli was good too more chocolatey things and I got the special edition DVD of Serenity! whoo hoo for better commentary!

well, can't think of anything else to say today, so I will leave you with this final thought:

sausage.

so, I suppose I'll be doing a lot of wakey wakey dances, which is kinda ironic, considering I'm also going as Sakura from Tsubasa... Maybe it's internal wakey wakey? yeah, I'm telling my sakura half to wake up while I'm plum... no... yeah... whatever... who cares???

oh, yeah, the other day I was plugging in my TV and I accidentally stuck my finger in the outlet... it hurt... a lot... my hand was numb for about 10 minutes and it still hurts... BUT I DON'T GIVE A FREAKING PIGS BUM!!!!!

okay, calmy calmy... no, I don't want to be calm! I want dance around and sing!!!!!!!
so, that is what I'll do... ttyl then!

well, I got nearly nothing done this summer... yeah, like maybe 3 drawings and barely even a chapter done. I am so totally screwedified. School starts in a week and I need to have at least one chapter done, so I can stay ahead. Oh well, not gonna happen, so oh well. If anyone has magic muse wakey uppy spells or whatever, TELL ME YOUR SECRETS, damn it, and no, trying plum's wakey uppy dance does not work in the slightest, unfortunately... or sitting like L...

yeah, okay, we all know I'm toast-ally dumblefucked beyond the world of ham and cheese sandwiches (and we know it's bad when all I can think about is food...)
