So I'm having fun with the mini-mix FSTs, and two of them that Cara has requested made me want to draw. Here is one of them:
Ayumuuuu!! ♥ (Will take you to my DA)
I was just working on the second one, and it's got three people in it, and I had just finished the second person (well, I still had to work on clothes, cause I can't remember what his clothes look like), and as i was working on the third I totally messed up on his face and had erased my sketch-lines. SO I was like "Oh, I had just saved it after finishing person #2" and I close it. BUT WHEN I REOPEN IT, I DIDN'T SAVE. NOW I HAVE TO DRAW HIM AGAIN and omg his hair was haaaard ;A; and he had turned out so well, too! Sob sob sob so I'm just making a post as I take a mental break and then I'll go attack him again :/ anyways. It will be cute.

I forgot to mention this the last post I made, but my dad bought me a mini George Foreman grill *A* ahahah it's amaaaaazing! I had thought at first he was just reusing a box and tried not to get too excited with the idea that I got a mini-grill, but it turns out it was one *A* He said one of the guys brought one to the San Diego house, and it was awesome, and so he bought one for me (and we're getting him one for his birthday because he is so not subtle about when he wants something haha) I used it the other knight and cooked up two hot dogs. It was a bit of a challenge at first trying to figure out how to get the hot dogs to stay in the grill, but then I just cut them in half xDD;;;;

Going home next weekend for my dad's birthday. He'll be.... 54? Thereabouts. Claire and I are going to buy tickets for Harry Potter, since it comes out on his birthday (15th of July) and we'll go see it on that Saturday. The weekend after that is ComiCon! Uhhh I need to figure out what souppy et al. are doing. Because I know what I'm doing, independant of them. But since I was invited by them to go I'm technically with them so I need to figure out what they're doing 8Db And I need to make time to see antieden and go harass the Sweden from nationcorp.

Weather has been really nice. Warm, which means about 72. A bit breezy, but that's okay. It's warm without being hot. I feel like today is Saturday, but it's Friday haha I need to unpack/clean and then start catching up on the reading for 103. I have my midterm on Monday, buuttt I'm not too worried about it. Gotta read Poe, Melville, and Frederick Douglass. Easy enough.

I'm sure you've all seen the ads around, but I decided to join onto Evony hahaha it's like that game Civilization, but only an MMO. It's actually pretty fun. I'm surrounded by a bunch of beginners right now, which is fine. You get a 7-day grace period to build up your city as much as you can before you're open for attack. I kind of need to start building up my army. There is only one (maybe two) other cities in the area that might be considered a threat haha so I just want to build up the army so I can go take over fields/lakes/etc that raise my materials. If you all are bored, go ahead and check it out *A* we can make a giant alliance hahaha

I really need to catch up on my tags orz A few for iabrpg and nationcorp. About five in total? I also need to finish poking around the stuff at deusinnobis and fix up the promo table. We need to find like... people to be leaders for the bad and good sides, and that will probably help us along with coming up with a premise. But, if you are interested, go ahead and check it out! If you're not too worried about the plot, you can start filling out an application haha I know caliborn is already done with hers!

My dad's mom is... I think pushing 90 years old. She's been put into a nursing home, because my aunts can't take care of her as much as they would like to. I got a birthday card from her when I returned from AX, and her hand writing has become so thin and shaky. It makes me really sad to see how much it changed in one-two years. My sister and I want to go visit our family in Michigan either next Spring Break or next summer. We hardly ever get to see them, and this may be one of the last times we can see Grandma. We're going to try and buy the tickets way in advanced, but that will involve lots of talking to the relatives over there lol Ramsay said we could stay with him, though, in his apartment in Ann Arbor! Since he won't be graduating until next year from UofM (yay 5 year plan haha) he'll still have his place there.

I'm going to go redraw that part of the picture that was erased and then make food. Then I'll probably take a nice bath and then finish drawing the picture 8Db check y'all later!

Pictures will be up... later today? Maybe tomorrow.

Stolen from cheese_cookies 8Db

Comment with the name of a character, pairing, etc., in one of my fandoms/fandom we share.

I'll post you an "instant" mini-fanmix: a cover and 3-5 songs that remind me of that character/pairing/show/etc. I'll upload the songs and everything!

You can... request as many as you want xD And as long as I know the story/characters (doesn't always have to be animanga: can be books, movies, TV shows, stories for all I care), you're good to go :D

Ummm he did end up texting me! Conversation was short lived though. Uh. I don't even know. I really just... need to give up on the whole thing. It's too much effort haha

I should make dinner ;;;; it's 8:50 and I haven't eaten, but I've been snacking all day ;;;

Abii and I are working on getting deusinnobis/deusinmods cleaned up so we can start promoting around. Almost done! Just gotta get some story stuff up and the character list. But mostly the plot stuff. I'll be working on an ad table before joining a few promo communities to spam it with :D

Anyways, I am going to go... do something... Probably make dinner and read for tomorrow. Also, update on fic requests!!

01. sapphire_pyro : Teito and Mikhail (In progress!)
02. starswing : Famako on the subject of Nana-chan's birthday
03. doctor_sasuke : EPIC CRACK TIMES. Yeahh....
04. antieden : ?!?!?!
05. caliborn : Riku and Kairi, Always Your Shadow
06. ohariko : Austria/Hungary or Switzerland/Liechtenstein
07. souppy : A Zukolicious icon
08. spicy_diamond : Rahzel/Kiara, slightly sadistic

10.

antieden's request is still a mystery xDD and Kristen's will probably have to wait until she comes to visit me 8DDb

Well, that was anti-climatic hahaha! Dinner was tasty since I actually knew what I was doing, and we watched Serenity buuuuut that was about it. He said he'd text me tomorrow and I just kind of sat there like "o____o".

That's nooooot quite what I imagined would happen LOL orz anyways. Real post later. I have to go do the dishes and eat dessert while I read some Nun's Priest's tale for tomorrow.

In other news, I'm loving Fall Out Boy's Folie a Deux album!

HEY EVERYONE. I am back from AX! I had an awesome and exhausting time--who would have known that information services had to do so much heavy lifting?! I just proved how manry I am The Nation Corp picnic on the 4th was amazing! It was so great to hang out with everyone! ♥ Here's some of what happened in general over the weekend:

- turned 21~
- GOT MORIKAWA'S AUTOGRAPH SLDKFJ GLEE.
- Met my lovely ladies from Nation Corp! Japan, Sealand, Austria, Germany, Hong Kong, Korea, Russia, America, Poland, France, and England! Denmark was with us in spirit hahaha
- Had Baileys and chocolate ice cream with Taichou and Megan as a delayed birthday celebration
- Got to watch both the Moi dix Mois and Morning Musume concerts from the Info HQ offices. MDM was surprisingly boring and Morning Musume are too cute hahaha
- Saw the AMV contest in the main events hall instead of the Info HQ lolol it was LOUD and COLD and I was falling asleep by the end. Some were pretty shiny, others were... rather boring.
- Bought the last two DVDs for Bublegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 for only $12! They didn't have the first two, but hay, I've seen it already, so it's fine xD Bought the Kyon character CD for $9, and Amatsuki artbook for $19. They didn't have the manga I wanted, so I'm giving up and just buying them online. I WANT THEM ALREADY.
- Got to spend a bit of time with antieden as she cosplayed at Funimation, and only briefly saw yuulin and shadow_piper :< Sorry I couldn't spend more time with you two! I will visit you all over the summer/during the year, all that jazz.
- Got asked out on a date by Trevor (over text messages) on the 4th. It's going to be tomorrow. Which means I need to clean ;;; since I haven't unpacked and I didn't clean before leaving for AX.

As of this morning, I have read the recently translated Junjou Romantica chapter, the xxxHOLIC chapter, two US/UK doujins, and watched Hetalia 24 LOL GILBERT ♥ ">D nyon~nyon~nyon~nyon~"

Today, I need to do my write-up for 103, read Frederick Douglass for 103, and work on my paper for 101 ;;;; and go grocery shopping. I ache all over, so maybe the first thing should be a nice shower. Anime Expo pictures/videos will be up... sometime after today. I need to do so much school work today haha

Armed with a camera and a frying pan and a dirty mirror wtf I should clean it, Hungary is ready to take on Anime Expo 2009!
Modified costume is modified, wut?

Anyways, I thought I would post the hiatus message now just in case I started running out of time tomorrow xD I'll see you all again on Monday! I will be sure to take lots of pictures~~ I'll be able to check my emails on my phone, buuut the best way to get me is through the phone itself :D

( Mini update: )

---

And now, for Cara :D I want to try making these when I get back from AX. Maybe I'll recruit some help from friends because I don't have an electric mixer...
( recipe goodness! )

And now, I should go pack! I have to make a list to make sure I have everything. IT WAS SO HARD TO FIND WHITE STOCKINGS!!! And the only white ones I found were knee-highs :/ I bought two pairs since it was only $1 for two, and I'm going to try and see if I can modify them. The full-length stockings I bought are ivory, so it would look awkward compared to the white petticoat. ♥ you all! Feel free to call me this weekend with birthday wishes if you want to hear how I'm doing/how the con is! Contact/schedule is here!

PS Why do I still have this song? I was waiting for the other song to finish and clicking through my music folder and hit enter as soon as the song ended up and it was this... CARA DAMN YOU WHY DID YOU SEND ME THIS.

Okay so here is my real post-ish! It's going to be a little short because I'm feeling kind of scattered brained and need to do a few things before I forget them! As I am often wont to do!

I turn 21 in three days~ I am excited, of course, but at the same time I'm like "... eehhh..." I mean, it's not like I would be doing anything exciting if I was staying in SB anyways xD Because I have class the next morning and have to get up at 8AM Monday-Thursday so...

Sister powered through my Hungary costume. It's quite a bit modified from the original version, but I think it will work better in the hot hot HOT weather in LA and it's still pretty cute haha I'll make another post in a moment that has my staffing schedule for AX, but I might not be going to the FMA gathering anymore :/ that's okay. I'll probably still wear Winry on the first half of Saturday and then on Sunday also. Because it's easy to work in and we'll be doing tear down that day.

In any case, dinner yesterday with Soup, Ick, and Jon was really fun. Food was good! What I had kind of tasted like Yakisoba, but spicier. Which is a big YUM for me. Then we hung out at Soup and Ick's place for like... 2 and a half hours talking haha

I've been feeling so uncreative lately! Icons and writing in particular (not that I do much else). I have a few replies that I owe, and of course those requests (I am working on them!) It's not that summer school is taking too much out of me. In fact, it makes me feel quite "nyuuuuur" because of the extreme lack of activity ahaha orz

I have absolutely /no/ groceries. Well, I have bread, some cabbage that I should throw out soon, eggs, sandwich meat, and english muffins. And chicken, pasta, soup, frozen dinners. So I'm good for dinner. But for every other meal... I'm waiting until after I get back from AX to go grocery shopping xD;

Oh! So, I finally managed to get Riven to work on my computer! And I'm going through it all in like... one day. And I'm almost done with it. And then the file goes "um, no, there's no data here" and goes to the main menu. I lost it allll! And it was really annoying, too! Because the game would freeze every five minutes and so I would have to save it often and force quit it all the time to reload it. And getting the CD drive open was A PAIN because it just wouldn't open, so I had to sit there and push push push push the button and play with the 'reset' button for two minutes before it popped open and I could change CDs. Geh. I think I'll play it when I go home, and just use one of the old computers xD;

KKM 3 finish downloading last night *A* so guess what I've been doing~~~ I can't wait to see Morikawa-senseeeeiiii~<3333 It also makes me miss RPing KKM, though I don't miss the girl that I RPed with xD;;;; Watching Haruhi Suzumiya makes me miss RPing that too. Oh Kyon, how fun you were to play~♥

Anyways, I can't think of much else to say. It's just been really that boring around here. And pretty cold, too ahaha I'm going to go make soup and watch more KKM after I make a few posts here and there!

Well, I'll be going to go do homework in a bit, and I promise I'll make a real post later, but I was just wondering if anyone had any codes for a nice simple layout. I've been using the same codes for awhile and want something different lol

Anyways, I'm going to go do some homework (reading some Hawthorne yay D:) In the process of downloading Season 3 of KKM, and watched the first two episodes of the Endless Eight for Haruhi Suzumiya. Can I just say how much I still love Kyon? The animation has gotten even better. In episode 12, his interacts with Koizumi are ♥ And the new opening is really cute.

Lunch today with Soup, Ick, Amy, and maybe Jon. Working on Hungary costume with Claire. I got the fabric last night! So excited for next week you all have no idea.

So I'm back here in SB! Pretty boring. It gets cold out when it gets dark, and it's really cold in the morning orz like right now? It's 1:00 and it's about 65 degrees D: Anyways, I'm going home again next weekend so my sister and I can work on my cosplay stuff!

To those of you with sewing skills/knowledge, do you have any tips for making puffy sleeves? My sister thinks she can do it, but she's not entirely too sure and so I said I would ask my friends who were good at cosplay stuff and see if you guys have any suggestions for making puffy sleeves. Short sleeves, of course.

My birthday/AX is in a week! I'm so so so excited! Plans for the NCorp picnic are making me ~SO~ EXCITED. I can't wait to see everyone *A* I get my finalized schedule this weekend. I'm HOPING TO GOD I get all the shifts off that I requested, because well, they're all the ones for the gatherings. Plus Saturday's getting off early for NCorp picnic tiems :D

When I arrived back on Sunday afternoon, the Princess Bride was waiting for me in my mailbox! I had bought the DVD earlier last week *A* What a pleasant surprise! I watched it on Sunday while eating dinner hahaha ahhhh I love it so! There are a bunch of fun extras on it, but I need to get around to watching those. Probably after this post!

I was browsing around Pixiv today, mostly in Layton and Neuro tags haha found some pretty shiny stuf *A* Can't wait for August 24th~~~~!!!!!! GLEE (aka the US release date for Layton *A*)

ALL YOU LAYTON FANS: I don't know how many of you know this already, but there is going to be a Layon movie~ Or in any case, Professor Layton The First Movie which leads to: there will be MORE movies 8D The planned release date for the first movie is in January. SHINY TEASERS ARE SHINY. Luke copying Layton's pose is ADORABLE.

LOVE IT. Also, Full version of that song here. I have it on repeat. EPIC. If you want the MP3, tell me 8Db

Also, there is going to be another trilogy of games! The fourth game starts three years before The Curious Village. It's when Luke and Layton first meet. Apparently Luke is a rich boy. And he's even more shota than before aslkdfj <333

I'm really hating this LARGE gap of time between my first class and my second. I get so bored, and then I go "Ohwait, I still have another class to look forward to" D: I have a feeling that 101 is not going to be very challenging--as I've read most of the texts and learned a lot of the culture and stuff from that period. Hmm. 103A is American lit, which is just as well since I've normally stuck to the British Victorian lit when it comes to that time period.

Anyways, I'm going to go make another post for NCorp, then watch the Princess Bride extras *A* I need to buy my books soon (or at least my reader) for 103 for homework purposes orz and I need to get on replies + requests very soon!

SO. I JUST FINISHED WATCHING "PRINCESS TUTU" AND. AND. SLKDF:J SD:LKFJ SO CUUUUUUTE waaaaaah ;A; omggggg It was so good! I've become a Fakir fangirl And now I want to get into the fandom mooooore asinfanficitionorrpshootmeplz....... You didn't see that. It's just so so so so cute. And spicy_diamond, that AMV you sent me WAS AMAZING. I just sat there going O________O~~~~~<3333 totally not a song I would have expected to go with it but it worked so well and was amaaazing!! In any case. Totally cute series is totally cute, I've come out a Fakir fangirl, and Ahiru was just so adorable. And you can't forget Edel/Uzura, and Autor, and Neko-sensei (YOU MUST MARRY ME-------*cat!spazz*) and Femio omg "MY PUNISHMENT. OLE!!!" And Pike and Lilie! ("OHNOOOOO *A*" "It's your fault |/;;;;...." "...Uso.")

Lesse... Thursday I went out with Amy after getting my hair cut! We went to borders, and I bought Shadowmarch by Tad Williams. Another big thick book by him hahaha just like the Otherland series. OH! Also! It was my sister's 19th birthday! We went to dinner at Johnny Carino's with Alyssa and Edgar (Claire's boyfriend). Friday, I went out with Yunji. We went to English Springs park and sat around and drew haha I drew this!! it's a little off, mostly because I had less paper space than I wanted lol but it's the result of watching too much Princess Tutu--I had ballet on the brain. I'll fix it up in Photoshop 8D After, I went to get pho with Amy and Soup and Ick. That was fun 8D

Today was the staffing meeting thing! It was pretty fun? Got to meet most of the people I'll be working with, including Rachel. Ah... she's a little bad with conversation? Like, I'll be talking to someone about something, and she'll just suddenly cut into the conversation with some really random topic that we had left behind. Like, I'm talking to Kit and Amy about anime club stuffs, and WHILE AMY IS TALKING, she starts asking me something and so I just hold up a finger to tell her "just a moment" as I finish my conversation with the other two ;;;; And Kit and I were spazzing about Hetalia and she just comes over and tells Kit to come and visit our hotel room during con times for the sushi that her mom will be making. And we just go ".... okay.... (back to original conversation)". urk. It's going to be hard working with her.

OH! Before I forget, everyone say hi to hamilah_adair, phantasiagirl, and poutmeter! They're all from nationcorp~~♥ Austria, Poland, and Denmark, respectively! Austria-mun lives in Diamond Bar, Poland-mun is into Dazzle, and Denmark-mun was the Isaac to my Miria at a short-lived Baccano RP, as well as being from Ville de Lumiere. We had a mini-reunion at VDL, and then again here when we suddenly realised that "HEY, IT'S YOU!!!!" hahaha

While on about RP stuff, I want to once again advertise deusinnobis!!! We're actively working on getting it fixed up now. Please check it out if you're interested in a Gods/myths-turned-human OC plot! We're really hoping to get a group of dedicated RPers to play with~!

I'm planning out my schedule for AX. (Excited spazz!flail) I so hope I can go see Morikawa-sensei *A* I would die happy. DIE HAPPY, YOU HEAR ME?! IT'S SEPHIRTOH/CONRAD. I want to go to autographs, also *A* and I want him to sign something Kyou Kara Maou. That's kind of... the only thing I really want to go to xDD I'm not into Loveless or Gundam 00 or any of her other works that I would care to go see Kouga Yun-sensei. I don't care enough for Moi dix Mois to go see them... Uhm, yeah AX has a pretty awesome lineup, actually, especially compared to last year's. But the only one I really care for is Morikawa *A* In any case, a day or two before I leave, I'll put up my contact info, as well as my work schedule. If you'll be there, message me and we'll hang out when I'm free!! ♥

I go back to SB tomorrow D: I think I'll finish doing my laundry tomorrow morning. And I want to start reading Shadowmarch, but I also want to write some and I do owe some editing and banners. But I mostly want to read haha But I also do want to make me some Princess Tutu icons *A*~~~~~ hahah in any case! If you can, come visit me in SB *A* Summer school starts on Monday D: OH. I GOT A 'B' IN 102!! FAIL. Uh, anyways. Time to go take off my contacts and... do something productive?!

Here are three songs I've been listening to A LOT lately!
Ceann - Monahan the Mutineer
Jillian LaDage - Midsummer's Night
Jillian LaDage - Bonny was the Lady (The Legend of Cong)

Not that I didn't just tell her I was posting them, but whatever. Here are the icons for antieden 8Db omg I made so many?! On top of my computer starting to lag, my brain started to lag 8Db

( cosplay icons under the cut! )

On a somewhat side-note, I watched the first episode of Princess Tutu (and am currently downloading the rest of the series since I hate streaming things now that vista makes streaming videos lag). W-why so cute?!

PS On a very side note, I'm just not going to make another post for it, I'm getting some of my grades back! C as expected in nutrition, A as expected in Bible (aw I was hoping for an A+). I GOT AN A IN SPENSER GAHAHA I was so afraid that my... 'unfinished' project would bring me down *A* And now I just have to wait and see on 102. My paper was technically a page short and I don't know how well I did on my final (A- I'm hoping?) so... here's hoping for another A. I probably won't find out until later this week. Geh.

Let's see. My last update was... Sunday! So today is Wednesday. Monday, I did nothing! Claire had to go out and so we ended up not going shopping. Tuesday, I hung out with doctor_sasuke *A* We watched Shrek 3, Meet the Robinsons (so cute!), and half of Treasure Planet. We ate shrimp chips and pocky and seaweed and frozen yogurt and marshmallows LOL it was great. Tomorrow, I see Amy? And Friday is hanging out with Yunji tiems and Saturday is AX meeting and blah. I need to find time for a haircut!

Oh, but on Monday, I started reading Sandman *A* Mason had given me a few chapters, but it ended up being arcs #8-11. Which isn't a good place to start xD;;; chapters 51-75 or so, I think. But I found a torrent that has it all. Or, well, a lot, in any case. I don't know how much there is/if it's finished? I got through chapter 24 (Seasons of Mists 3). I'm loving it so far haha

Currently, I'm making icons for antieden and banners for disney_rumble. Kind of paying attention to the IRC chat for nationcorp but otherwise REALLY bored. Will be working on fills later (hmm I suppose I should also go looking for Zuko caps for Soup's Zukolicious icons). I think I might make some tea (bought some Jasmine tea yesterday *A*). Butuh. IM me. Or text me. I'm bored.

For AX, everyone at nationcorp that will be there (which is like, most of the cast) has decided that we need to have a picnic! After my meeting on Saturday, I'm going to make a post at the OOC comm and we'll try setting it up :D I can't wait to see them all! And of course, I can't wait to see antieden and yuulin ♥ AND YOU KNOW, I WOULD /LOOOOOVE/ TO SEE shadow_piper THERE AS WELL HINTHINT

Ahaha time to be productive <33

Ahhhh day two of my vacation! I slept almost all day yesterday hahaaaa ooohman it was nice. I don't really mind this cold weather. My dad and I played some My Word after dinner and then watched two episodes of Legend of the Seeker, which we're really behind on. We watched this one episode, and then went to watch the next one and.... well... it was the episode that happened right before the one we just watched LOL so we skipped that one. So the next episode on the queue was... the episode before that xD;; which we ended up watching. So technically, we went 'C', skipped 'B', and watched 'A'. At one point in 'A', Zedd gets his head chopped off by Darkan Raul and I was like "..... You know.... this would be a lot more dramatic if we hadn't see what happens two episodes after this." and my dad says "I hear that he's the Seeker's grandfather" (which is revealed in 'C').

Today I finished up Digimon Adventures!! ;A; so much love!!! I'll probably be working on 02 over this week when I'm not doing anything lol I also did some laundry, and then went over to Soup and Ick's for a few hours to watch 7 episodes of Firefly hahaha it was good fun. When I came home, I was talking with my sister for a bit. And then I went "LOL you wanna see a picture of drunk me?" and she just laughs and says "yeah sure" (because she was really enjoying the fact that I had a hang over) and I bring up the picture of drunk!me and Trevor and she goes "haha awwwww are you two cute together?" and I'm just like "............uh, are we?", looking at the picture like "Oo;;;" and she goes "I have no idea why I just said that. I meant are you two dating." I say no, and that it's kind of complicated, and then just wander off.

Oh, but apparently Chris Buckley is engaged. The marriage is in a year and a half. He's also running off to the air force. And Spencer got into a really good pharm school in Las Vegas, so he's going off that way for two years or so. HOLY CRAP WHAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE?

Tomorrow, sis and I are going shopping at the mall bleh I really don't have the money, but I need a new bra and a new cardigan (since my grey one is still MIA). Tuesday I'm going out with Kristen~~♥ need to find some time to hang with Amy, and I need to order my books for summer school. I also need to find some time to get a hair cut and go dry-goods shopping before Sunday. I had to flat out tell Rachel that I don't want to spend the last day of my vacation "at the AX meeting" which basically equates to "no I don't want to spend my last day of vacation baby sitting you after the meeting is over". I'm really evil, aren't I? I can be.

Last but not least, taken from here and there on my Flist, but at the moment, taken from caliborn.
The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble/fanart of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.
Technically, I still have a few requests from my last"fic request post" that I'm sitting on. So it's cut down from 10 to only 7. You can also request icons if you would prefer those instead of a fic. Please don't ask for fanart. Just. Don't. It will never get done.

01. box_of_doom : May 1st, Sweeden/Finland (in progress! 8D)
02. sapphire_pyro : Teito and Mikhail
03. starswing : Famako on the subject of Nana-chan's birthday
04. doctor_sasuke : EPIC CRACK TIMES. Yeahh....
05. antieden : ?!?!?!
06. caliborn : Riku and Kairi, Always Your Shadow
07. ohariko : Austria/Hungary or Switzerland/Liechtenstein
08. souppy : A Zukolicious icon
09. spicy_diamond : Rahzel/Kiara, slightly sadistic
10.

I'm kind of feeling all sorts of........ well.... I dunno. All sorts of everything I suppose. This entry will be a bit all over the place, so please just bear with it :D?

Anyways, I'm home! The car ride was the better part of 3 hours, due to quite a bit of traffic. And it was really really gloomy out D: I didn't expect it to be this gloomy. Sadface. I drove the entire way with my windows down for whatever reason LOL going past the beach smelled so niiiice but then you get into Venture and Ojai and it doesn't smell so nice D:

Just finished watching my Firefly DVDs *A* alksjdf Ilu Simooooon you're so inept when it comes to flirting with Kaylee hehehe ♥ But I have this scene in my head--or well, two more like, and they weren't in any of the episodes and so I'm trying to remember where they're from. I don't think they're from the movie...? I'm downloading it now (hoorah for fast internets at home!!) In any case, love love love this series so much..... Ohwait hay there was a third episode on the first disk LOL go me I totally missed it now this is the episode I was thinking of. Totally going to watch after this post. Also, I need to figure out if I'm brave enough to watch it dubbed in French.

One of the girls I'm staffing with for AX has been... getting on my nerves a little? We have a meeting on the 20th for staffers and it's in Anahiem. I thought at first I was still going to be in SB until next week because I was... off an entire week when it came to the dates in my head. And so I realised "oh, no, sorry I'm actually going to be home and so I won't be able to give you a ride to the meeting on the 20th." She can't seem to find a ride down but is very dead set on going to this meeting because "It's important". She was bothering me the last three days to see if I could talk to Amy (taichou) about where she was going to be at that time/if she was going to the meeting but, well, my memory. I honestly forgot to ask someone about Taichou. But Rachel (the girl in question) has been emailing Amy, then asked me if I had her SN or a phone number (both of which are 'no') and I finally said "Listen, if you're not getting any luck emailing her, just wait a bit. She's graduating this weekend and has finals and other things to worry about." Me calling/messaging her isn't going to help the situation any. To top it off, now Rachel is asking if she can stay with me. And she wanted to come down on Friday, stay the night and come with me to the meeting, and then I'll drop her off in Ventura on the way back to SB on Sunday. And I'm like "...You don't understand. My mom and I don't know you." So she's trying to see if she can just stay on Saturday night, so I can get a chance to know her during the meeting, and I just... ignored that IM (since it came when I was watching Firefly, and it was about an hour ago?) Please, girl, I'm going to have way more than enough of you at the convention. From what I'm gathering so far, that's going to be more than enough for me.

My sister's talking about doing study abroad. Can I just say "NOT FAIR" if she does get to go? What is this, don't let Anna visit anywhere? Sure, I can understand pulling out of EAP because Paris is too goddamn expensive. Claire got to tour Europe her senior year in HS. Now she has it in her head that she's going to try and study abroad in Singapore. Where does letting me get to do something not in SoCal come into the equation? Without having to fund the entire trip on my own. Anywhere? Just wondering.

Last night I made a totally yummy dinner and Mason came over to return my jacket and gave me my flash drive, on which he put the first four... seasons? Volumes? Collections? Of Sandman *A* Over the course of the summer, Imma get my hands on all of it *A* Yay, Anna will have two comic series in her repertoire!! Anyways, there has been a massive thread on Facebook that Trevor made and has all of the cast (save... the directors...) on it and we were all planning to get together Thursday night since everyone was done with finals. When Mason was over, he said "You should come back to my place. Daisy and Matt are going to be there and whatever." And then Greg calls and makes Mason give me the phone and says "Hi Anna. Here's what you're going to do. We have some vanilla vodka here, and so you're going to bring my little roommate back with you and we're going to make you a mixed drink and we will all have fun."

I go back with Mason, after texting Trevor and telling him that people were planning to head over to to Mason and Greg's place. Well, turns out no one was there, but I met some of their neighbors (most of which were very drunk, high, or a combination of the two). They had quite a few games of beer pong and then we finally decided that we were going to go over to Daisy's, rumor being that there were more people there. I had... only one shot (holy crap that vanilla vodka was weird. And then the only chaser was beer and that just gave me a twitch down my spine remembering it hahaha), and I finished off one of the girl's drinks because she didn't like it (it was the vanilla vodka with pepsi--tasted like vanilla coke lol). My excuse was "I need to wake up early and drive home" when really, my mind still hasn't quite gotten over being drunk lol

When we're getting ready to go to Daisy's I tell Mason that Trevor was going to join us and he just looks at me (he's really really drunk at this point) and I go "...Is that a problem?" and he just goes ":DDD NO. I LOVE TREVOR." So I go "so that was a drunken stare of "processing hold on"" haha The two of us meet up with Trevor and we start walking towards Daisy's and we run into a few people that they know and we walk with them, only to be passed by Greg and Daisy who are riding their bikes--drunk. Apparently no one was at Daisy's and they were getting hungry and wanted Freebirds nachos. So we turned around and went back that way. It was really fun with just the three of us. Even though I ended up just listening to the two of them nerd out. At one point, Trevor starts speak-singing/reciting Beatles lyrics. I think it was "All you need is love." And then there was a Manly Hug moment and I went "D: d'aw I feel so unloved." And the two of them turn back to me and go "YOU FEEL UNLOVED, ANNA?" and Trevor gave me a one-armed hug and kissed the side of my head and Mason took one of my hands.... and then started complaining about how cold it was and started rubbing it to try and warm it up ahahaha Anyways, it was about 2:20 at this point and I was getting tired, and so they went to get food because Mason was hungry and I just went back to my apartment and crashed. But I had lots of fun *A*

For now, I'm going to take off my contacts, get into my PJs, clear off my bed, watch this elusive episode, and then go to sleep. Love you all!

So I've got some time as the file transfer for Soup goes through. I figured I might as well make a post!

I BOUGHT FIREFLY!!!! ♥♥♥ Borders had a 40% off any boxed DVD set and I had seen it in Borders when I went with Mason so he could buy his tarot deck and it was only 51.99 and I thought "hmmm... that's not too bad..." and after talking to Cara I decided to buy it and a;sldkfj loooooove. I've just been watching it most of the day xDDD I love and miss them all sooooo much. We're going to have a Firefly watching party at Ick and Soup's place when I get home, and I'm probably going to have one when I come back to SB with all my friends here.

Nutrition final... well... a lot of the fill-in-the-blank I had to leave blank orz Okay about 13/20 but I'm not sure about some of them. Most of my answers for the multiple-choice and matching I feel good about so let's hope I get a high C in the class!!! orz Spenser final I finished in an hour and fifteen minutes, and that was me taking my time. I only didn't know two of the answers on the first page and I did pretty good on my IDs and my essay was nice 8D hoping my short comings on my project don't bring me down too much. Bible final tomorrow. Just some reviewing and I should be okay, and I've got all day to do that.

Dinner with Trevor today was... really fun xD And if by fun, I mean getting tickled a lot, being 'smothered' with my own pillow, and being told "I'll kill you, Anna." every thirty seconds while doing the dishes, then yes: great fun. But in all honesty, it was a really fun time. I burned the potatoes kinda bad, but the fish turned out pretty good. And the potatoes that weren't burned tasted good 8Db He was nice enough to help out with the dishes after, as in he cleaned all the dishes (minus the two pans, but I'll do those later). Buuuuut nothing happened that would help solve my plight, but I'm a little more partial towards choice two than I am choice one after thinking it over. And spending time with both of them. I'm just wondering how the decision making will go on either of their ends ahaha

In any case, I'm really looking forward to going home. I need to figure out my books for my summer classes and buy the ones that I need to on line. More anthologies, yay D: And curse my english major/lit person brain, because it makes me keep so many of these books. Even the anthologies! But let me tell you, I will have an awesome library when I get my own place. A lot of good literature on top of all the books I've read and bought because I want to hahaha

Transfer is on 90%. I'm going to go watch the last episode on this disc and then call it a night! It's already 1:00!!!!!

ps I totally forgot to buy pancake mix today DDD8 I wanted to have chocolate chip pancakes and make these... Swedish Midsummer strawberries and I forgot and now I can't have pancakes and I don't have enough flour to make anything and SAD ;A;

ps2 I love Simon *A* Him and Kaylee are sooooo cuuuute xDDD

“Stop it, Danny!” she said. “You’re overreacting.”

“Overreacting?! Overreacting...” He tried out the word, turned it over and over again on his tongue before deciding he didn’t like the taste, and shook his head. “It’s not that I’m overreacting, it’s that everyone else is not responding.” He knew that to start out on anything, you needed more than what he had. You needed more than an uneasy feeling and only half a desire to want to actually get anything done. You need something that’s real—something that sparkles when you touch it so that you know that it’s real.

Danny didn’t have any of that. As to why he’s the hero, well, I thought it would have worked out better than that. But it didn’t, so you’ll have to live with this as it is.

So then, back to the beginning. Which is actually the middle. Maybe even a little closer to the end, but that would give too much away so I won’t say how close to the end.

Danny doesn’t have a short temper, but people think he does. He’s six-foot-one, twenty-three, has no goals in life, and doesn’t have a short temper. People sometimes thought he overreacted, but it wasn’t so much that he overreacted, as it was that he just reacted.

“You’re not supposed to have this kind of response,” she said, trying to get his attention.

“Response…? Response…” He tried this word out too, turned it over and over again on his tongue before deciding that he didn’t like the taste. “How am I supposed to respond?”

She looked down with a guilty expression in a way that let him know she didn’t know. “Just not this kind.”

“Thanks,” he said with a smile that let her know that he wasn’t thankful at all.

“Danny—”

But he was already walking away, hands in his pockets and mind made up. Just what it was made up on, well, she didn’t know. And since I’m her, I can’t tell you why either.

I'm uploading something for Soup so I was too lazy to log into my writing journal to post this. Won't go anywhere, it just sort of came out like that.

I finished The Keep by Jennifer Egan and MAN IT WAS AMAZING. I read the second half of it today while waiting for Justin (who never showed up lol) in the UCen. Ray was certainly not who you would have thought, though there was one point where I suddenly went "......YOU'RE HIM" before it all came together. Check it out if you're looking for a quick, engaging read. Some fun unreliable narrator action going on, but you don't find out why until the very end.

So now I'm trying to decide if I want to play Riven, Gorasul, or try to read more of Turning's Delirium. I might just go for Riven lol Final this morning was okay. I did the best I could do, because I know that if I tried to study more than I did it wouldn't have helped any. I did pretty good on Spenser, also, so now it's just a matter of time.

Or maybe I should make dinner...

I JUST BEAT PERSONA 4~~!!!! as in defeated Izanami-no-Okami. Waaaah~♥ I'll probably do a second play-through over the summer after I finish Tales of the Abyss. It was sooo much fun :'D I suppose sooner or later I should also start on P3 but... I lost interest it shortly after it was released in the US lol

Final this morning. Wasn't fun. I didn't do too good--blanked on so much. For the first two sections, we were supposed to answer 8 out of 10. I could only answer 6/10 for Part I, and 7/10 for part two. And a few of them I wasn't too sure of the answers/explanations. Geh.

At the nutrition review, we got back our papers and got our section grades. I GOT A PERFECT ON MY PROJECT. Homg I'm so relieved. I was worried that I wouldn't do that good because I had no idea on how to write up that paper. I got a 92 in the section. But I think I'll still only be able to get a C+ in the class unless I do insanely well on the Final. Whiiiich I probably won't do.

New Junjou Romantica chapter! I love that series for it's uber long chapters haha UNLIKE CLAMP orz. Also, 07-GHOST 41 ;A; ;A; ;A; ;A;!!!!!! homg I love this series SO MUCH ♥ I'm waiting for the other group to release nice scans tho because the ones on MangaFox aren't very good D:

Mason and I went to the beach for a bit yesterday. We sat there mostly but I went to cleanse one of my stones in the water. It was actually really nice. I'm totally going more this summer *A* you all need to come and visit so we can go to the beach together~! We got Pita Pit after and went back to my apartment, ate and talked, and watch two more episodes of ToA anime before he left so I could study.

Tomorrow I have nutrition (need to study orz) and Spenser (kind of need to review). Wednesday is dinner with Trevor. Thursday is the Bible final and then there might be Urinetown get-together in the evening. Friday, I'm leaving early to go home for a week.

doctor_sasuke, you wanted to hang out on Saturday, right?! *A* and souppy, when did you want to do a photoshoot? We can save the underwater one for later in the summer when I'm home for a weekend and just do a regular one? I'm out of town on the 20th, and I'm going back to school on the 21st, so the best would be on the 14th, unless you can do it during the week?

Anyways, I'm going to take a quick nap before starting to study. I can't wait to see all my lovelies at home!! ♥ you all!

Alright this is more of a pic!spam post than it is a write-up simply because I don't feel like writing up a lot. In short, it was pretty awesome. ( summary whooo )

OH. ALSO. I FINISHED SOUL EATER. SO GOOD. SOOOOO GOOOOD.

Okay, now for pictures! Here's the album if you wanna check them all out. Sorry, I didn't rotate them so some of them are sideways D:

I FINISHED IT.



Real post coming soon. Promise ♥

Hey, this is just really quick before I run off to sleep. Trevor's friend recorded our open dress rehearsal, and Trevor just finished putting up Act I. So I'll link all of you to the videos so you can watch it! I'm not too sure what is up with the lighting, and you have to turn it up really loud to hear it but it's totally awesome. I was watching parts of it with Mason just now and we were like "SDFKLJ WE'RE SO AWESOME."

You should be able to watch them even if you're not on facebook. If not, let me know and I'll see how I can help D:

Part One: Too Much Exposition/Urinetown
Part Two: Privilege to Pee
Part Three: Don't Forget Me, Bobby!
Part Four: Mr. Cladwell
Part Five: Cop Song
Part Six: Follow Your Heart
Part Seven: Cathartic Moment
Part Eight: Look at the Sky
Part Nine: Don't Be The Bunny
Part Ten: Act I Finale

I'll update later with Act II when Trevor gets it up! Enjoy!

Well, I forgot to make a post about it earlier cause I was too busy going "SDLKFJ PAPER OHFUCK" (which, btw, was about 300 words short but whatever) but: We did our open dress rehearsal of Urinetown tonight and HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS it was so awesome. The energy was ~amazing~, and there were so many people in the audience. The two shows before we never had that many people for the open dress rehearsal. That was just about as many as we had for closing night on Joseph! I can't wait to see how the next three performances go.

We went to Woodstocks after and had a great time hanging out. Greg and Mason invited us (me, Tasha, and Trevor since we were at the table with them) over to their place to play some pong but we're like "eeeehhhhh". But they said "WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TOMORROW?!" and we're like ".... well... class at 10...." and so they said GREAT COME OVER IT'S PERFECT FOR A FEW ROUNDS. So we were considering it. And then I was getting tired and Mason said "NO. It's PARTY TIME. WAKE UP." But just as we were getting ready to leave Mason was practically falling asleep on the table and I was like "WHAT IS THIS 'NO GETTING SLEEPY IT'S PARTY TIME'?!?!" and he said "SHUT THE FUCK UP ANNA OMG (headtable)" hahaha

Tomorrow I'll try and see if I can do my con report after I catch up on some replies that I owe for RPs. My cough has gotten a lot better, though now it's a really obnoxious tickle cough DD8 but I can sing!! Which helps... considering I'm in a musical... For now, I'm going to go take off my contacts and go to bed!

PS I'm waiting to see how two things play out. It should prove interesting. Results will certainly come at the cast party. I'll keep you all informed. Hopefully it will turn out better than it did last musical OTL but considering one is a freshman, and one is a sophomore with a girlfriend I have to go "FUCK HOW DO I GET INTO THESE SITUATIONS?!"

Ps2 I just watched the trailer DA had for "Drag me to Hell" and HOLYSHIT IT FREAKED ME OUT I DID NOT WANT TO SEE THAT AT 1 IN THE MORNING XDD But it looks totally awesome I want to go see it homg
