Just gave up on making my shirt for waicon for the third time. This time I worked off a store-bought pattern I was altering... but no dice. I think I know what I am doing wrong though, and once I pick up some more material then hopefully... fourth time's the charm. Sheesh though, this is really taking a toll on me, and not only financially. I mean, I'm supposed to be helping [info]ajillas and [info]setsunator with theirs, how the hell do I do that if I can't even make my own D:< and on top of that, I thought I was such a good seamstress after making my ball dress! I just auuuuuuuuuurgh

Actually, I have been a little grump as of late. Not just because of a big misunderstanding about someone saying something about me which they didn't which for some reason seriously, seriously frazzled me for a good two days, or the absolutely crap day at work I had the other night (I now hate the Dutch, Dutch night, Miss Maud, people, and battaballs(don't care how you spell it :T)). I seriously nearly had a breakdown until my sister told me to suck it up :T But I... I really don't know why I've been so emotionally fragile lately! Maybe it's the heat. Damned sun.

Opinions on stuff:
SPOILER FOR CODE GEASS New Code Geass Series: As long as they don't bring Lelouch back to life. I really really really feel that that would really cheapen his death and the impact of the series as a whole. Without Lulu coming alive, I'm really interested to see what they plan to do. Animate Nightmare of Nunnaly?

Re@ Zack in the new Kingdom Hearts game: :3, although I'm not a huuuuuge fan of his design. I like adult!Zack not shota!Zack, thankyouverymuch.

so yeeeeeah. Nothing else really going on. Working a bit and hanging out with friends and stufff. Anyway, reminder of christmas card post, you can find it ya lazy bums.

Back from that thing! It was very whoo yay, but my freckles have multiplied and are attempting to conquer my body. In a month I will be more freckle than skin, with nary a sign of a tan. Damn my vaguely celtic whitey body!

Some stuff:

*Getting more shifts at Miss Maud, hopefully that'll stretch far enough to cover christmas presents :3 (And talking about them the christmas card post is here. I've gotten enough addresses to make it worth it, but I don't want anyone to miss out.

*Cosplay: Assembled my Yui/K-on! outfit for waicon minus shoes, and I really intend for this to be the last costume I buy, even if my excuse has been that it was a big group of us all doing school uniforms so it made sense for the same commissioner to make it even if that does mean I feel like a bit of a hack :T Anyway, we're going to be melting in the blazers.

Still working on my Akita Neru/Vocaloids outfit, very very happy with the pleated skirt but really wary of how the shirt's going to come out. It's going to be too easy to stuff it up... again.

*Fanfic: What's what? :P Yeah.... I need to update.

*Everything else: Eh, just really enjoying chilling and holidaaaaaaaaaays. Tis good. And way too many facebook games. (Also way too much anime I need to watch :S)

*Note note:Zombie Strippers was wayyy more entertaining than it needed to be :P

*Note note notedy note: Nation by Terry Pratchett was of course a magnificent book.

I am playing Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on DS, Valkyrie Profile 2 and Persona 4 on PS2 currently :) I'd like to finish a game before the end of the year- I've been a little lazy with games this year, but somehow I managed to grrrrind through P3 in first semester of uni.

(Talking about uni, I don't get my results till the lecturers and tutors come off strike :S)

For the past two days Homebound by MS Paint Adventures has been freaking rocking my world! It's like a webcomic and kinda like a text adventure (the options that were chosen were submitted by readers). It is amazingly gripping and geeky and fun and indie and I love it :P

Depressing is when you look at yourself in your mirror when getting changed, and you look sexy, but when you're out shopping for bras you look super pudge in the change room mirrors :T But at least I have some cute bras now. Finally.


Anyway, will be away 24th to 27th, down at my holiday house with friends boozing it up, going to the beach and playing Guitar Hero, whoo!

Other updates:

Sewing/ cosplay: My lounge room is an explosion of fabric. I made an awwwesome pleated skirt for my Akita Neru costume, but I also failed on the shirt (trying again), and a friend came over and I managed to fail on helping him make a vest as well. Interestingly enough, he is one of three people I am helping with sewing at this time period. What is this? I started cosplaying this time last year! Well anyway, the K-on outfits and my Yui wig arrived, so at least that's sorted.

Relationships: OKAY WHAT THE HELL. Have I been sending out pheromones or something? No less than four guys like me right now, which is far more than I deserve ahaha. Right when I'm not interested. ....:T/:P?

Games: Playing Phantom Hourglass, OHGOD is good. Alex came over and dragged me out of the place I was stuck in in Valkyrie Profile 2, which is good :P gotta get back into P4!

Money: Poor. Seriously poor. I spent all of my money on material, wigs, shit on ebay. Need money for christmas and then ski trip next year.

Anime: Finished Clannad AS *tear*. Watching FMA:B, Gintama, Hetalia, Soul Eater, Welcome to the NKH. Finished Kuroshitsuji too, as well as Haruhi-chan.

Other stuff: Super super exited about Wai-con next year and seeing [info]myincentive_22!

AAaand that's it for a while. Nothing much going on.

Also see previous entry about christmas cards :P

Anyway, this is screened.

Post your addresses, and hopefully halfway through december I'll send something out!

I am going to send christmas cards of some sort, maybe a tiny gift as well but no promises :O I don't know what I could send out that people would want :O

Hee :P I've never actually done this before, it should be fun!

Belle of the ball.

:O... )
That's a pretty crap photo, but the photographer, Eugine, took some that I am really looking forward to seeing!

So yeah, ggg it was a really good night <3 Even if my sleeves nearly ripped off!
(I'm just lucky the three best cosplayers in Perth didn't feel it was important enough to go to P:)


To do: Exams in two weeks. I can chill a little :P

Happy Halloween if you celebrate that. I'm going to the PAniC Halloween ball tonight, so expect photos later!

I got all my assignments in, even if some of them were a little half-assed. I also did something a little ...erm.... naughty, on the last assignment, but I think it's okay.

So week after next I have exams, gotta study and all that. A lot of stuff to do on the hols, too.

Uh.... yeah, not much to say, really. <3?


gggh... this girl is totally fucking exploding at me on facebook :S

Still mostly MIA. Sorry guys, I'll be back to normal in about a week. I've got two super assignments due next week which I should.... really be doing atm.

But! Instead of that I made my Poison Ivy costume for a friends' 18th, made my dress for the Panic ball, Cleaned my room, cleaned the house, played fifty facebook games, browsed Pixiv, went through my emails, and!

Just now I went through my deviantart watch list and stopped watching practically everybody, except for maybe fifty people including my friends. It just got too ridiculous- I had 899 people I was watching, and I'd go through there every three days and just 'x' 'x' 'x' every single deviation at rapid speed, not having fast enough reflexes to slow down enough when I saw somehting I would actually like to view. I intend to go through that list in the holidays and re-watch a few to a lot again, but right now it's just freaking ridiculous. I feel kinda good about it, though. Talking about dA, I drew an arts. cool dude.

Anyway! Blah blah blah blah, I guess.

Love you dudes, bbs.

All my Flist seems to be having problems right now D: Be happy, guys! *sends love*

I was thinking of looking for a new layout soonish- but before that I have to make my dress for the ball in a month and all that D: and exams are coming up, ohgod gotta study even though I think I'm going to faill governance!

ANYWAY! Go3 was on the weekend. It was pretty cool. It's not a matter of the actual con and what was organized being cool, but just the chance to socialize. I spent a lot of the time making friends with some people I hadn't met before, levelling up social links (lol) and feeding morish nuts to the president of Panic :P

But yeah, on saturday I organized a Pokemon Gijinka on the forums, which was really interesting because the group was compromized of people I didn't know, because a lot of really new people were in the group. Quite a lot of them were about 15, too! I was really suprised.

(I was Vileplume)

Anyway, Photos!... )

I now have a Last.Fm account. Add me, I guess.

I also bought some strips of paper to make lucky stars, and decided to fill a glass jar I stole from the kitchen. Let's hope I get it finished before I graduate (if I graduate lol).

-Currently cuddling Palkia plushie <3

-Today got back a mark of 80% for an assignment I did largely the night before, which counts for 50% of the unit's score, and gave a speech to complete that unit! that means my only days of uni are now tuesday and wednesday, hahahah! :P

-Going clubbing with Catherine tonight (and staying at her dorm), Eee! I wonder what I should wear? Then going to a friends' get together tomorrow night and anime doods meetup in the city to make sure that everyone's ready for the pokemon gijinka for go3 next weekend.

I had this strange moment this morning when I was talking to my sister and for some reason it occurred to me that I always feel like i'm on the outside looking in... but I seem to be in a little bit of a melancholy mood for some reason.

Excursion to the beach yesterday to pull weeds and watch the lecturer ride his skateboard. yuh.

I managed to completely forget about an assignment until someone asked me what mark i got for it. ohooooh shit. talked to the lecturer, he said 'the most important thing is to get it done, we can work out marks later' ....so at least that's not an insta-fail yet.

There's a boy i kindaaa like but it's sooooo hard over facebook to balance the right amount of interest without being over-eager, and i can't do it irl cos we haven't got any good reasons to meet. We actually met at two different parties and each time he didn't know the host, ahaha. He kept talking to me at the second party (about anime lol, but he seemed keen?) but this chic Sophie kept coming and trying to drag him away. Iiiif i manage to sink my claws into him, I hope she won't be mad :S (They're not together)

Next week is tuition free, which means i have time to do a couple of assignments, condition and re-curl my Euphemia wig (my friend wants to take pics of me as her at Go3), and I have another costume to start for the end of the month. I think I'll get through everything, but it feels a little tight atm.


Anywayyyy I love you dudes, sorry for neglecting you <3 <3 <3 <3

And welcome new friends :3 hope you don't find me too much of a tard :P

Things are pretty cruizy. I've got the rest of the week off due to an awesome stroke of fate, so I'm chilling. I'm trying to finish watching either Clannad or Zoku Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei so I can start Soul Eaterrrr

Cut for pics )

So yeah, I am not dead. Cool-oh.

No longer interested in the boy :B

Trying to work out if I should go to uni today or not.

reasons not to go:
there is a pile of tissues next to me with my phlegm (yum) and snot (yum yum), and I've been awake for 20 mins.
My coughing will disturb the classes/lectures
Not going to uni is fun.
I can start that assignment due on friday.

Reasons to go:
One of my tutorials takes attendance, and I skipped it last week.

(eta- my mum basically told me not to go. whoo! I'll email my lecturers)


I found this ggg awesome writer on ffnet that did a kink meme fill that I loved, and she has more awesome fic so yay! *will keep me busy today.... wait... I should do that assignment instead. D:*

aggggghh, I kept waking up coughing last night D:


I'm trying to work out if I like this guy or not. I'd like to like him... but I'm not sure if I like like him. You get it :P
