were you wonderful today?

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:45:54 GMT

Just letting you know that I basically went through my 'friend of' list and banned everyone that I had no clue existed before they friended me. It creeps me out a little that I get randomly added and the long, long list sort of disturbs me. If you're still active and it gave you a notice or anything, it's not personal at all! I just don't know anything about you and assume that if you want to foster a friendship or sorts you would do more than just friend me since mostly everything I do is f-locked now.

So what's everyone's top resolution? I'd list mine but they're boring. I probably will put them in a later update so I won't forget though. I had some good ones, then I forgot, and now I only have the lame ones left, like losing weight. |D

I hope everyone's had a decent if not wonderful Christmas and that everyone has a great 2009.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ONE AND ALL.

I'm off to California for five days, so I'll catch back up with everyone when I come back, unless I find time there, which I probably will. Be safe~

I missed Lulu's birthday- it was yesterday. So who feels kind of like this right now? XD;

Yeah. I could feel my face twisting into a D8 expression, really, when I was browsing through the comms for the first time in a long time (well, since the series ended really) and died a little inside. Can I be forgiven? |D

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, LELOUCH!

Going back to being scarce now. :)

dedicated to Ayane. 8D

So I finally found the scans for alice nine.'s piano collection book, thanks to the lovely people over at the comms. I am so disappointed. XD; I expected them to be in the actual key of the song (hey look, at least ARMOR RING - C MAJOR! - is!) and have left hands that were equivalent to piccolloy's genius on youtube. They rendered FANTASY in D major to make it more palatable to the masses instead of Dflat major where it's supposed to be. I was looking forward to them to be - well, a guide for me and my covering. Looks like I'm still alone. |D

Other than that, there's not much to say. I have to at least finish the rough draft of my paper today though if I'm going to have fun tomorrow. Oh man. ;_; So screwed.

(omg the music description fits Gackt's song now, Tiff! XD)

New header. 8Db

Wow, it's as cold as hell in my room. We found out the reason a while back- we got this person to come look at our attic and insulation and he said there was apparently only very thin insulation up there and a freaking HOLE in the insulation over my room. Which explains why it's the hottest in the summer and coldest in the winter. My fingers and toes are freezing but the rest of me is okay. The blubber I put on for winter is keeping me good. |D (idk.)

I feel like I've really slipped out of touch with everyone. There's not a lot to say on my part at all except the growing pain of having to pay attention to my effing future out of school. So I kind of want everyone to take this opportunity to just rant at me or complain about something they have to deal with right now that they want me to know, or something that's been on your mind lately and you want to get out, even if it's like you hate me or something.

Go. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRACEFACE AND SIKHA~!

I hope you have the best birthdays ever. ;3

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 02:06:00 GMT

just when I thought I had put it all behind me forever, it comes at me again- indirectly, yes, and through the kindest person ever, but still.

what's stupid is that it's dully aching again now. can't someone just hit me with a tranquilizer dart- or something to put me to sleep before it starts bleeding afresh? yet I can take this as an opportunity to really, really end it. or it might start all over again. I definitely grew from it, but I don't know if I ever want to repeat the experience, honestly.

ow.

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 03:03:19 GMT

Hey guys, sorry I haven't had a chance to give a con report and all. I was halfway through one, then LJ ate it. :\ I'll type into MW or write it down while at the tournament.

This Friday-Saturday, I'll be at my first speech tournament of the year, so I won't have internet access. Sunday, I'm supposed to catch up on all the work I didn't do, and also photograph and photoshop for my sister's dance school. Though I'm honored, it kinda was bad timing. XD; I also have to go to my postponed art lessons. Damn.

Meanwhile, my and Suzaku's DevianArts have a heck of a lot of photos. I'll be pimping them in the comms too, soon. :)

Be safe, guys.

Everything Is Heart by ~arisu-kyuu on deviant ART

AWA was some kind of amazing. I created some of my best memories there this weekend. Just keep checking DeviantArt. :) I'll be seriously updating about it soon but right now I'm caught in between all this lovely wallowing in the memories and real life.

I hate the day after conventions. It makes everything else seem like a dream. Thank god we have cameras.

I'm no longer disappointed. :) Father came through and went to get the film developed at a nearby location for me. Odd thing though, this elitechrome went and did a fuji on me. A lot of green/blue. And I need to remember to overexpose film.

On the other hand, dearest friends, Anime Weekend Atlanta is this weekend. Tomorrrow I'm putting the finishing touches on my cosplay. I spent this week pretty much bent on survival for the weekend and coming up with coordinating outfits for Crystal and Ayane; they're doing the Natsuo and Youji zero pair from Loveless, street-style. I'm having issues planning Crys's outfit though. Ayane got finished. Ayane also had the bright idea to change into 'casual cosplay' for the evening so we wouldn't roast for the entire day. I'm going to roast anyways. How does Lelouch always wear that uniform on top of a long-sleeved shirt?

Luckily the state suddenly dropped about ten degrees.

But yeah, don't expect any activity on my part on the internet; there WILL be spam when I come back though.

See you all after the convention!

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:58:29 GMT

I'm always being disappointed. Always being let down. It's always the same. God, I hate it.

Someone, somewhere, has a grudge against me.

ALL HAIL LELOUCH!

dskdajlfl;kdsflsdkafj;aljflsafasjdfhaldsf.

I did say it with them after he geassed what, the entire palace? Pity it looked like Geass didn't work through TV though. One tiny detail that bugged me- how did he magically get two contact lenses? And he whips them off so fast, too. Freaking amazing.

But the whole thing where Charles and Marianne had the whole plan to create a gentle, kind world without lies, something Lelouch has been trying to do for Nunally all this time, all that merging with the deceased crap (that was dirty, Marianne, to talk about Euphie like that to Suzaku), struck me as entirely cheesy. It was the whole parental: all for your own good thing. I mean, I expected there to be something way bigger than that. I don't get how destroying the gods can create that nice world, either. It was completely weird and I was wincing. If that's the best climax Geass has... idk.

I was kind of expecting someone's epic death in that world of C, but someone major, like either Lulu and Suza .I mean, I'm not disappointed that they didn't die, no! But I was sort of expecting it.

I'm glad C.C. is back, oh C.C. How I love her cynical. :)

Was it just me, or was Anya ready to doodle on sleeping Suzaku's face with a sharpie, just like jigglypuff?

The whole V.V. killing off Marianne and Marianne's Geass- idk. I felt it was just a little too convenient for it to be V.V. even if it did all make sense, since he's dead, just like Lulu said. Ugh.

Apparently it was a choice between creating that world without lies or leaving the world in the hands of Schneizel. But if no time advances, if everyone's just happy, no one wishes for anything, it's like Lulu said, nothing would ever get done. However, a part of me wonders why he didn't just go along with it (although that would have been cheesy to the point of throwing up and we'd all hate everyone in the fandom forever and ever) and it's probably because he has to take it all the way again. I mean, all those deaths, those sacrifices, everything he's done- to just give up, idk. SOCRATIC SEMINAR, ANYONE?

Did anyone else squee when both of Lulu's eyes went Geass? XD

The parents being devoured by the world of C- ew. Too convenient. However, that opened up for the freaking awesome entrance.

ALL HAIL LELOUCH!
ALL HAIL LELOUCH!
ALL HAIL LELOUCH!
ALL HAIL LELOUCH!
ALL HAIL LELOUCH!

and his knight of Zero. But he's still not getting my heart back after he lost it by going rawr after Euphie's death. And it looks like Schneizel's got some plaaans. But we're only four eppies away from freaking ending the season, unless they decide to drag it out way longer than necessary. To me, this looked like an ending that could have been, you know, an ending.

And you know no one wants to see Lulu in that weird priestly white outfit with the ridiculous headpiece.

oh, and alice nine. is coming out with a new DVD for their RAINBOWS finale. *_____*

My weekend just got made.

Oh yeah, and guys? I seriously read all your entries and replies and stuff. I just haven't energy to comment/back most of the time. I hope you're not sad/mad/annoyed etc. ;_; I honestly love you all.

(note: still feeling miserable in the sinus area; on the plus side, I'm exercising while sick and losing weight, yey.)

To-do list:
-mi vida en veinte años poster for span
-bloom's taxonomy edits and final draft for lit
-hatching, scumbling, and tonal shading key drawings for dp1
-worksheet on dimensional analysis for chem

At this rate I won't be able to go to the mall thing. I must get better!

ajglkerjglkgfg I have finally achieved a coloring I want. *_________* (It's now I realize that so much doesn't get done when you don't have selective color, curves, color balance, channel mixer, etc etc etc. I really want to install that CS3 already. Really want to.)

Yeah, I've been playing around with old photos because whatever I seem to take now with the big camera just sucks. It's a big camera. But I don't know how to use it, I admit it now. I don't use it like I should, I treat it as an extension of photoshop. Seriously, my point and shoot pictures will always be more epic. (probably.) The thought makes me despair a little. I need some day to just force myself to learn about actual photography. What I do isn't photography. :\ It's utter crap. Sometimes I get a decent one in by pure accident. Damn.

In other news, yesterday was barely productive for me. I winged a shirt, and I accidentally sewed the sleeve up where it attaches. And I can't find my seam picker so taking out the stiches is kinda hard with just a pair of normal scissors, ahaha. I should actually measure myself and be careful about this kind of thing next time. Maybe it still has hope. But I had fun talking with Cherry, Tiff, Hannah, Ayane, and Sarah. Ayane and Hannah tried to pin my cosplay in place so I could sew it down but I ended up being too afraid to modify it, haha. Ohshite I still have their pins. |D

Sarah's going to be adorable as Kaguya. <3

Apparently pants are very hard to make. That will be my next sewing project... if I ever have enough time. Not that I need it for any conventions so it's all good. Then again if I don't have a deadline then I never get anything done. How do I break out of the habit of procrastinating? D8

I feel kind of lonely.

First time blogging from Flickr! (lawl some random person loves my wallet.)

Anyways, I just feel compelled to tell you all I'm finished 'learning' Fantasie Impromptu. And that Tiffany got her triple-A time for swimming! And that I am going to be able to draw people in art soon! -weeps happily-

I'm going two days in a row each week now because my sister's dance camp makes her miss out, and since my mom already paid the month's fees for the both of us I'm going twice. Oh well, I'll get to get the practice drawings over with sooner. I've finished a closeup of an eye and I'm working on one of an ear. Apparently after that I have to draw a nose and then a mouth, and then I can do a head. (wow.)

I cannot wait to draw Reita with my teacher. Cherry suggested that to cheat even more, I draw him in a bandana outfit. -laugh- So his nose, mouth, and chin will be all gone. Easier for me. I want to see my teacher's face, hahahaha~

But I'm disappointed that we're still working with sketching here because I wanted to start on watercolors. :\ Apparently my teacher was wowed by my eye closeup sketch so he told my mom I shouldn't stop this and move on to watercolors now because I'm making progress. Meh. I wanted to so badly, too.

Art rant over!

I feel like I want to write again. I'm just uninspired on everything in my folders though, but I don't want to start something new (again). :\ I need some kind of prompting. (or butt-kicking, y'know, whatever.)

Oh, I cut my bangs yesterday because my mom was all freaking over me wanting to get a haircut. It didn't turn out the best but it's okay. XD; I need to learn how to thin out the ends better. My bangs look more of a uniform length now but what do I expect after cutting the longest part? And I'm afraid to cut more. XD; Maybe I'll just get Cherry to on Monday.

Monday I get to work on my cosplay (finally). I just need to finish my essay this week. :)

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:54:35 GMT

What the hell do you say to your mom when she won't let you get a perfectly normal haircut?

(I am not even asking to dye it.)

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:43:55 GMT

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Okay my dad needs to stop pmsing at me whenever he stops playing Wii's Wiiplay tanks. He always pms's at anyone in his field of vision during playing or after playing. It's a disgusting change in attitude. -deep breath- Anyways.

LOOK, A NEW DEVIATION!
I submitted it after messing around with a picture I had on my flickr. I even printed it out because I liked it. Then I found out it was too big for any of our frames, being letter-size. ;_; But the true reason I updated today was to gibber about the latest Artemis Fowl.

ksjdlkjfljldfla;dfldflj;laskjfdlasdlfdf

Okay, Eoin didn't do as good a job with this one as the others, but hey, time travel is confusing. Although I have to admit when I read the summary on Borders.com I was WTF? about it. I mean, seriously? Brain fluid from lemurs? Rare incurable disease with his mother again? I've gotten a lot more critical of writing now, I've realized. It must be Mother's effect on me, haha. Still, it held up really well!

WHAT IS THIS NEW ROMANCE BETWEEN HOLLY AND ARTEMIS D8 THE RELATIONSHIP READ LIKE ANIME IN THIS BOOK. FANSERVICE, I SWEAR THE PART WITH THE OFF WITH THE CLOTHES AND NO. 1 WAS FANSERVICE.

Oh I giggled the whole time when I was reading the part in the beginning about Artemis still not physically training, riding horses only because the horse does most of the work. XD That is so like him. And like Lelouch. I've always thought there was a stunning parallel between Geass and AF. :')

And crap, now Koboi is back. Well, next book will definitely wrap things up. Please don't drag it on any longer, Eoin, AF is losing its charm in a cold boy genius gone warm-hearted.

Time is really flying by. I swore to myself last night I'd try to revive my messed-up wig and thus revive my Riku cosplay after browsing around on deviantart and seeing so many great cosplays, but when I got up this morning I was completely cool-headed again and like D8 noo I'm too lazy- who cares about my Riku cosplay anyways because it sucked so much but I really, reallllllyyyyyyyy want to do a photoshoot. Once I fix my Lulu cosplay. And dammit I'm motivated now to seriously fix this. :\ The uniform's top is too loose still and makes me look fatter than I am. And the pants that came with it are fantastically old-fashioned; big ol' crease up the middle of each leg and it goes up to my waist guys, my waist. I'm considering wearing my normal black dress pants with the uniform top instead, just iron it for the crease, but does the Ashford guy's uniform have flaring pants? :\ I don't think so.

BUT WAIST-HIGH PANTS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE D8

I also really want to do a NANA cosplay but god knows I'm too fat for it. :\ Throw me reasons to lose weight. Badger me to exercise. Tell me I'm a no-good lazeabout who hasn't even started her summer homework yet. Seriously.

Someone needs to kick my butt into shape.

I did a mini friends cut just now, reasons being that you don't comment (sorry I'm a stickler for this), we don't keep up with each other, we've just fallen out of each other's circles and don't keep the same interest anymore. etc. Sorry. D8
