School started and everything went crazy for a while, but I'm getting back on track! In bad news, it looks like I'm probably not going to NYAF. ;~; Which is actually pretty upsetting, 'cause I really, oh so badly, wanted to go. And my Euphie costume turned out, oh so faboulously and I really wanted to debut it there. D:

Good news is I get to go to the big ZombieLand march in Boston instead. Let me know if you are going! :3
I am also starting my Sealand, Schrodinger and Ponyo cosplays. Which I'm super excited for~

Expect more updates soon and happy fall! <333

Just a huge bowl of what the fuckery?

It's been quite a week. It's just been -crazy-. I feel almost...a little thrust into adulthood? xD It's just strange, because a few days ago, I found out that the barn I learned to ride at, that I've riden at for 8 years, that has horses that I -love-, that was a huge part of my life is moving to Virgina. And then, two days later, I learned that my Synchronized swimming team, that I was with every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thrusday and Saturday night, for -six- years, is done. It's gone. ;~; So yeah. Two huge parts of my life that, I think really shaped me as a person and opened up so many doors for me, are gone. I'm more shocked right now, then anything. ^^ ;; And then of course, I found out that my cousin is too busy and that I'm not going to New York. ;~; I was really looking forward to that. xPPP

But, on the brighter side, since all of that happened, I'm 'gonna be able to start all of these new things~ Like, a dance team, playing the ukelele, singing and working more on field hockey.

Mhmm. Well yeah. That's it? This really seems, quite boring when I read it now. I guess I really just wanted a new journal. xDDD

OH. AND PONYO ROCKS MY SOCKS. I LOVE IT. SO MUCH. <3

Oh, oh. And I've also been turned on to South Park Yaoi. Yeah. I know. WHAT THE FUCK, right? Well. It's 'kinda like an out-of-body experience, reading South Park Yaoi. Whatever. It's fun an funny. <33

Long journal is long.
Bundles of love,
Ducky <3

PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUUBEAR. Everyone go to 's page and wish her a happy birfday~<3

Other wise, stuff is going good. : ] Design classes are still going fantastically and even though our teacher is fucking -insane- it just makes her more brilliant. No really. She's crazy. But its awesome. I realllyyy 'wanna go see Ponyo, so if anyone wants to come PLEASE give me a call. : DDD And the weekend after next, I'm going to New York City to stay with my cousin, and I'm very excited. I haven't been to New York City, since last summer and I miss it. : P

But yeahh~
Love you all!
~Ducky <33

I've started a fashion design course at the School Fashion Design in Boston and its fantastic. So, amazingly, fantastic. I'm learning so much, like how to make patterns, all of these nifty tricks, and most importantly all of these fantastic ways to draw and create your ideas. I love it. And it just feels so...so right, yanno? It makes me happy, no matter how hard and long I'm working at it. It's like a fashion-induced orgasm. (TMI) xD
Also, concerning fashion and costume design, it looks like this year I might be getting an intership at FIT and next summer an intership with Shakespeare and Company. And goodness, all of these doors are opening and I just feel like I've found my place. WOOHOO. I mean, gawd knows in 10 years, for all I know, I could be a chef, or a writer, or a dancer, or a scuba-diving treasuerfinderperson, or a professional field hockey player. (<---xD all things I love.)

But, yeah. Just thought I'd share some happiness and love, all around~: DDD

Euphie's going well. Need to start adding details and to make the jacket thing.

Bundles and bundles of love, and hope you are all doing well~
Ducky <3

So, I'm back from my two week adventure. It was amazing and I miss all of my new friends so much.

So the trip in a nutshell: I made lots of new, hopefully long-time friends, I became part of the Shakespeare family, I got the part I wanted (: D), I discovered an old abandoned compound, and researched it, thus finding out it used to belong to the Vanderbilts (I also explored, and was able to get inside the houses...hehe, I'm sneaky.), there were a lot of huge thunderstorms (TAT), the costume designer for Shakespeare and company (-faint-), wants to be my mentor and is getting me an intership (YAY~) for next summer.

Yup, so it was a really fun, and adventure-filled trip. Though, I am happy to be out of the wilderness and to have TV and internets back. x]

For cosplay and what not, I wasn't able to finish my Euphie dress, 'cause I didn't have enough fabric. DDD : But, I'm getting more tonight, so I should have it done within two weeks. I also bought some simple, white heels, that Im going to modify to be more princess-ley. The wig should be arriving soon, as well. : D


Thank yo so much~
Ducky <3

EDIT: Got the fabric~ hurray! : ] In other, bad news, I've recently been reading Kuroshitsuji and I'm completely up to date (at least on, OneManga.com). Today, I became so upset and disturbed over the last few chapters, that I was literally sick to my tummy. I couldn't even eat dinner. Maybe I'm a baby...but god! I really love the series, but I guess that I get too worked up over my manga, so I think I'm 'gonna take a break from it for a while. : P

XD Kuroshitsuji is 'gonna help me lose weight.

Sooo, I'm 'gonna be gone for two weeks with minimal to no internets. DDD : With that in mind, I'm bringing my sewing machine and hope to finish my whole Euphie cosplay, considering the fact that I will have NO distractions. Up on a moutain. With my dad. In a cottage. -shot-

Oh, well. I'm sure I'll have a good time~!

Thank you all so much and see you in two weeks.
~<3 Ducky

I ordered a super gorgeous wedding gown pattern for my Euphie dress and I just ordered a pink base wig. I'm -very- excited to do Euphie~ I am also, very excited to announce, that I will be cosplaying Sophie Hatter, from Howl's Moving Castle. I've always loved the movie, and can't wait to get started! And that's where you all come in. I'm looking for a good pattern to make her dress from, and having little to no luck. So I was wondering if anyone had a good pattern, or any little tips that they might what to share with me. <3

Also, I am looking for a photographer, to take pictures of a few of my current cosplays, so I can retire them for good. Both of my normal cosplay photographers (my friends xD) are out for most of the summer, and I desperately need some help. Soo, any takers? xD

Goodness...this journal is so needy.

Thanks so much o3o
~Ducky

EDIT: Found a Sophie dress pattern, thanks to a super fantastic cosplayer on cosplay.com~ : D Hurray! Also, just a note: I have recently decided that one day I will also be cosplaying Sealand from Hetalia Axis Powers and Schrodinger from Hellsing Ultimate (<-- Kurro's fault.)

So, I just finished Code Geass and I can't decide whether I want to dance around the room, or jump off my roof. I watched the last episode an hour ago. I'm still crying. Goddammit.

'scuse me for being a crybaby, but I thought that you should know, that if you haven't watched this series yet, go watch it. Right now. If you're crying at the end too, come into my cuddle fort and we can cry together, holding our Suzaku plushies tightly, and stuffing our faces. Food makes me feel better.

Yeah. So go watch it. Now. And when you're done, if you feel really awesome and completely depressed at the same time, then you're invited.

I promise I'm not emo. Just watchh ittt and you'll understand.

(P.S. I'm now going to create a Code Geass cult. CULT.)

So many new friends, so many new cosplays, so much awesome new stuff, and so, so, so many good times. : ] I MET MY IDOL (xD) I also lost my Masquerade virginity. : D

Soo, I have a lot of new cosplays that I need to put up. They are Matt, Roxas (with both keyblades, and a better wig), Princess Tutu, Tilly (steampunk) and Luigi. I also made a Kraehe costume for my friend and a few other little things for other peoples. That being said, and since I haven't been on DA in forever, I'm thinking about wiping my DA gallery except for a choice few, and somewhat starting a new. : D

In life news, the beauty of my realtionship with a dream person ended. And I realized that the dream person, wasn't as perfect or amazing as I thought. : p BUT: its okay, 'cause right now, I'm in a very nice supa-chill realtionship, with a non-otaku boy. Its a wee bit funky, but I really like him. : D

YAY FOR FINAL POSTAGE. I wuff you all. <3
(if you were at AB, let me know.)

WOWZERS. 2K PAGEVIEWSSS. Thank you everyone so much! And I'm really sorry for literally not posted anything since last year. I've been somewhat floating in a DEEP, DARK ABYSS OF MY SOUL.
ANYWAY: I've been really sick as of recent. I mean SRSLY. Somehow I've been out of school for 5 days. Don't worry, I dunno how it happened either. Things have just kinda been one big blur. I've just been pretty sluggish...and I dunno whats going on. D : I'm slowly recovering from this yuckyness. Hopefully when I do, I'll start being on top of things again (yes, in the way you think.) I think I'll post some poetry. Maybe some pictures. We'll see.
I'll get my act together one day. Maybe.

Love,
Ducky (is that my name? D: )

P.S. I ACTUALLY REMEMBERED SOMETHING. AAC WAS BLAST. HAD CRAP LOAD OF FUN. AWESOME SAUCE. LOVE ALL MY FRIENDS FROM THERE <3

P.P.S. I just got Utada Hikaru, Heart Station. : ) Its great. I looove Prisoner of Love. Go listen to it. Now.

Directions:
Write 12 things about yourself in your journal then tag 8 people (not including the person who tagged you.)

1. I'm topically allergic to water. (OH NOES >< anddd, I'm still on a swim team....-sigh-)

2.I love, love, love bright colors.

3. I also love, pretty much anything created and/or touched by the people of Square Exincx.

4. I love my DS. Lots.

5. I have two different colored eyes.

6. I'm terrifed of thunder and the dark.

7. I love dresses, shoes, anime, AkuRoku, fanfictions, manga, cosplaying, music, hanging out with friends, card games, conventions, sports, dancing, singing, swimming, riding, driving, and cheating on these tag thingies. : D

8. I hate the fact that I'm still in love with her and that I still don't think she knows I exist.

9. A lot of people don't know this, but I'm a huge superheo comic fag. DC, Marvel, The Avengers, Justive League, Watchmen, X-Men the whole shabang.

10. I love to laugh and I love to make people laugh.

11. I spend money much too fast. On things I don't need. I'm trying to get better, and I think, slowly, I am becoming better.

12. I'm really overprotective of a lot of my friends. I usually end up getting prett-y pissed (batman pissed) at people who do bad things to them. XP Nasty habit of mine.

YAY.
Okay. I TAG YOU.

P.S. Yeah, I cheated. Teehee.

SO, since I need to get my life back on track I'm completely rearranging and cleaning my room...which is turing out to be a lot more epic than I expected. I've found prehistoric remains in my room. No joke. : D I AM ALSO, going to actually got off my lazy ass and I'm going to buy a sewing machine. I'm going to get together all the money I've EVER owned and buy one. That might result in my selling my first-born child, my soul and my parents but I WANT A SEWING MACHINE. D :<

I'm also going to be restyling all of my wigs and I'm to be designing some stuff and hopefully actually get around to making some~!

GAH.
WISH ME LUCK MY FRIENDS (OR NOT)

Love,
Ducky <3

P.S. HAPPY AKUROKU DAY! (...and happy Olympics ^^ ;; )

They are fast and easy, that is mindblowing! GAH. I can't believe that I've lived without one for so long. I was so excited about learning how to use a sewing machine that I made
3 bags, 1 pillow, an eyeglass case for my mom, a waist apron for my grandma and an orange zip-up-hoodie for myself. : DDDD
COSPLAY IS GOING TO BE MUCH EASIER AND FASTER NOW (...I say that now...)

ANYWHO. I'm 'gonna be gone for 11 days at my grammys, who doesn't have internet. Hehe. -twitch- But it's cool 'cause I'm just 'gonna be sewing. : )

But yeah. Happy 4th of July everyone! Let the fireworks you hear be the loudest! : D

Love,
Ducky <3


hehehehehe. >: D


P.S. OH. By the way don't think I'm some sorta dibstick (hehe) for not using a sewing machine before this. I just found out my neighbor had one, and I can't afford one right now, so I have a reason for not using one for so long!

]]> ~xduckjellyx http://xduckjellyx.deviantart.com/journal/19061451/ http://xduckjellyx.deviantart.com/journal/19061451/ Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:56:40 PDT So, yes, indeed, me Amanda tooketh some pictures yesterday. I'm in the process of editting them. I didn't do my kimono Sailor Mars, because first of we didn't have enough time and second of I couldn't find the scarf I needed to make it complete and third of the hobo and caveman in my closet were getting restless. ^3^

ALSO. My Roxas STILL needs work. Even though we took pictures with it anyway. I REALIZE that I need to shortnen the spikes more and add more spikes. I think I've created a new hole in the O-Zone layer due to the amount of hairspray I've been using. >.>;;

DNAHWDYWGDYUW34545NAJF. Recently I've been looking at some stuff done my FDP (Fighting Dreamers Pro) and KoiCosplay and I just to let you know, they are full of epic (epicepicepicepic) win. I 'wanna be like them when I grow up. ^__^ Yeah. So they are even more awesomer than the hobo, caveman, Organization members, dead babies and rabid mongooses in my closet. Like, combined.

Bundles of love, joy, and holes in the O-zone layer,
Ducky <3

[link] = video of my on a horsey. : D its really not that great...

It's looking good. : ) I just hafta add a few more spikes, trim all of the spikes and finish the back. And if it isn't thunderstorming -twitch- tomorrow, Amanders will taketh some pictures of my Organization Roxas in the pretty trees, Sailor Mars Kimono version with the rusted metal animals and maybe some Maid Roxas pictures. THIS IS ALSO A REMINDER FOR HER. BRING SOMETHING TO COSPLAY IN. : D

So besides the fact that it's been thunderstorming -twitchtwitch- like a rabid mongoose, everything is going well. But I'm having some serious CWS (Con Withdrawl Syndrome) T.T It seems every convention or picnic or meet-up or anything that has to do with anime I can't go to. So I'm depending on my friends who went to such conventions to show me losta pictures and videos, so I don't die. : D

Yeah. So this was a random journal. Yup. Okay then.
Love,
Ducky

By the way: My mood isn't love. There is some sorta buggy in the mood changer thingy. It's really FEAR.


EDIT: T^T ZOMG. @_@ Does anybody want to come visit me? And save me? FROM THE EVIL THUNDERSTORMS. Egaddd. I'm home alone. T^T
SAVVEE MMEEE. -sob-
