challenge two, day two

Least favorite character on the Lost Light crew.

hmm this is an odd one, because i don't hate any of them, i just see faults in all of them. i don't really have a least favorite. i don't like rodimus' attitude sometimes, chromedome sometimes bugs me with his depressed attitude, drift is... drift. cyclonus pisses me off with his douchebaggery on a regular basis and the fact that he seems all bark no bite. HERE TAILGATE LEMME HELP U PICK UP THEM PIECES URRR WHIRL IMMA KILL YOU SOMEDAY

no but in reality i don't have a least favorite i just really like making fun of all of them except maybe rewind because i have a bit of sypmathy for him. i understand how hard being the cameraman is. and people constantly commenting on it. but yeah ok it is like 4 am and i forgot to do this until now kafksfjfk goodnight.

challenge two, day one

Day 1: Favorite character on the Lost Light crew.

do i even have to say.

i could go on for like. days, just talking on an on about how much i love whirl. i know he's not a good guy. everyone hates him because he's an honest to god douchebag, but it makes me wonder how many of those people hate starscream, because starscream is basically the same way without the violent psychopathy. 

i think i first saw in in drift's spotlight issue. when the wreckers are all standing inside of turmoil's ship. this was like wayy forever ago and i was like "who's that no-face kinda tall guy?" and i looked him up on tfwiki and i thought he seemed like a a baller but there really wasn't much characterization there. it made me so super happy to see him in mtmte (even though i read the entire actual series really late... up until a few months ago i was just putting parts together until i got my downloads organized) so. yeh.

i really would go on but i think that we're going out to eat. i love him because he's a great character with great motives (even though they might not be GOOD i think that he's an excellent example of the fact that you can be an autobot and not be a "good guy") and definitely the most interesting on the lost light. he adds a good contrast to everyone else. and he's my battle tits robot helicopter boyfriend.

hey so

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME WOOHOO I'M 21 AND OLD ENOUGH TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT

ok anyway

i know i've been SEVERELY neglecting this blog in favor of tumblr, twitter, and a text document that i use to write down all my thoughts, so i've decided that i'm going to do this mtmte challenge on here. i feel like i'd be bothering people on tumblr if i did it on there because i can't draw or do anything contributional.

wow haha

 

 so yeah blogger WHAT'S GOIN' ON UP IN HERE YO

i haven't made a post for like. a month? so i'm making one. not gonna bother on heavy recapping. lost nanowrimo again. finished the semester. can't log in to see my grades so i have no idea if i even placed into japanese 112. started filing for financial aid for my semester in shinjuku. made a lot of transformers edits. get to play kyu again in the new d&d campaign. dyed my hair green.

MERRY CHRISTMAS / メリークリスマス. i hope everyone reading this had a nice christmas. it isn't even cold here, it's pretty neat. james got me my holy grail toy, g1 shockwave, and i am literally the most giddy person ever. best gift i've ever received. i turn 21 in like two days or something. i've been playing fall of cybertron for the past few days and it is BEAUTIFUL. extremely cinematic. great game regardless of whether you want to bone shockwave like transformers or not.

ahh what else. nothing else. i'm not sleeping until the 26th so i figured i'd jump in here and write this.check out my radical hair while you're at it.

 

right now i'm really confused by this new blogger layout and why white spots are appearing on that gif of whirl pimpsitting that i made. blogger confuses me nowadays. i reall do wish that i had more to talk about. i like seeing pictures of peoples' gifts. everyone should tell me all about what you guys got for christmas. i like doing that.

i'm really out of stuff to talk about now so i'm just gonna go, catch me on tumblr and twitter and other such places where i talk more like a human being. さよなら!!

beeeeh

aha. who's behind on nanowrimo? this guy. this guy right here. it might help if i actually worked on my story, not other things that i'm writing. stereo hearts pair up in this biznitch yo, blaster and soundwave 5ever. that and "deadlock's bishie smile" which is still a thing.

anime vegas was great this year as usual. i can't even describe. saturday and monday were the slower days, and sunday was an absolute blast. hunter came over and spent the weekend because he didn't have a ride. we went early on saturday and get quite bored, because there were no panels and the dealer's hall was overpriced because it was the first day. we chilled a bit and then went back on sunday with bri and mike. had tons of fun just doing various things, eating chili cheese fries, slapping bracelets, watching weird homestuck cosplayers, buying stuffs, eating dip'n'dots. i bought a soundwave hat and was soundwave for the rest of the day. starscream came along and did some sweet breakdancing moves. hunter bought a bouncing pokeball. we all watched summer wars, which was amazing. we laughed at these cat plushies for like 10 minutes straight and i still have no idea why. saw riley and her friends, and lexi and her friends. saw mika and jameboy and all sorts of other people. then we went to denny's and had hobbit holes. we had a belated birthday dinner with my mom, where we talked about twilight sparkle and salad. and on monday we got to sit around while stinky people danced to duck sauce. i bought a strike witches necklace, nana prints, my soundwave hat, and a really nice wig. it was great. :3

i don't really know what elese to talk about, the meeting happened, anniversary and strip and hooker cards and wreck-it ralph, and bee exterminations. most of the pictures i took at av are on my instagram. i probably won't post soon because work and school are both about to get busy. for now i'm gonna go back to writing about robots. bye~

ready?

the title 'circus of nero' was taken from a circus built in ancient rome, near where st. peter's basilica is. it was supposedly a really neat place. there was a big obelisk in the middle, which is central to the point in the story, and later, old st. peter's basilica was built over the circus, by constantine. but the major selling point is the obelisk, which, when cap and salwa reconstruct the circus of nero, serves as one of the most important locations spanning over all three arcs of the story. i could say why, but that would be a spoiler.

tomorrow night at midnight is the beginning! i hope i can get in like 3000 on that first night alone. obama is speaking at the csn campus on thursday, i have tickets to go see him but i'm not sure if i want to. maybe i should just go home and write like a mofo.

boopity doo

i figure i'll pop in here, since there's only a week before nanowrimo starts and my life is horribly busy. i have an accelerated 6 week online course underway all throughout november, and a lot of japanese to study. i also have work, we're still trying to get the big computer running but the laptop works. there have been some cool spots- a lawyer place, a gun range that looks really nice, and today we shot for freddie's nutrition at bret's pool. it was really neat, i felt bad that i couldn't help out very much. but i think the commercial will come out really cool looking. our house got sprayed in a bug scare because some people in out building moved out, and their apartment was infested with german roaches. luckily, there are very few to none in our own house. i'm going to see hamlet this weekend, and next weekend is the lvac fall sales meeting, the weekend after that is anime vegas.

but uh. yep. things have basically been steadily increasing in terms of how busy i am for a while, and i know november will be absolutely awful, aside from my 3-year anniversary with james, and my mom's birthday where we all prank her. it'll just be really hellishly busy and rushed, i know i won't have time for the internet.

i wanted to introduce the fantastic cast of circus of nero over the course of october, but i didn't. it's the story i'm writing in november, after putting it off for nearly ten years. april 2 of 2013 will be cappy's 10th birthday, so yeeeeep. i am pretty far behind on writing the actual story. but hey, i have the characters and plot down to a t. if i can crap out 50,000 more words this year, i'll be extremely satisfied.

i don't know how to summarize circus of nero. 88% of it is based on yuki's live performances of 66db. i wrote this huge long post, then deleted it, because it's literally been a thing for me since i was twelve or so, so i can't really describe everything that's happened, or the plot, or really anything. the best thing i've come up with is a vague paragraph of plot points and my favorite things about it. it encompasses circus (the first part) along with II (black carousel) and III (white carnival) which are the three separate parts of the circus of nero as a whole, over the three generations of supa sugoi characters. i'm not even going to get into the names of the actual characters. the most you need to know is that the protagonist is named capital mercury vorobyova, who is a russian-american nomadic pilot thief who gets struck by lightning within the first 15 minutes of the story, and half of her soul is the deuteragonist, salwa ajah al wajid, and she's a demigod from saudi arabia who really enjoys pancakes and sausage on a stick.

if this isn't a nanowrimo plot, i don't know what is.

polygots, vetiligo, jet noise, two-headed white elephants and the robot antichrist, broken theremins, maple syrup engines, underwater canadian trains, crossdressing russian mail-order bride-grooms, eternal life via rainbow squares, god killers, traitor priests, muslim angels, four-handed lolis and one-winged piano duets, back alley brain surgeons, talking t-34s, soul mate death machines, twins from svalbard, the siberian robot maker, the dreadnought, the alien guy next door, alternate realities within chernobyl, ancient alchemic baby rituals, little girls with motion blindness, red strings of fate and red scarves of fate and red eyes and red blood and red children.

words of advice from this story: don't fly jets while pregnant. don't make sentient b-2 bombers angry at you. don't assume that your winged girlfriend will kill you if you have a lovers spat. don't fly during thunderstorms. don't travel between universes to alternate realities of ukraine. don't get on trains with dying pole dancers.

and don't let your daughter leave the circus of nero.

bahhhh

i'm very sick. :c

before i start explaining why, i'm just gonna mention that i'm not going to capitalize anything on this blog anymore, because i hate capitalizing outside of school papers and i think it's one of the things that stops me from posting here a lot. i type way faster without caps.

so anyway. last friday night, (yeah we took too many shots think we kissed but i forgot LAST FRIDAY NIIIGHT) kaela came over to hang out. she and bri were playing world of warcraft when mari called and said she was nearby and wanted to know if she could come hang out too. so me, bri, kaela, james, and mari all chilled at the house for a while until kaela had to leave, then the rest of us chilled until about 10:30 when we decided it sounded like a great idea to go see if we could find an in 'n out that was open, becuase we all wanted burgers. mike came back form helping his mom with her school papers and we all left to go to the in 'n out by sunset station.

it wasn't closed, but it was PACKED. like half of green valley high schol was there, i'm guessing it was because they won a football game or something. there were people in high black overalls that i'm guessing were part of band or color guard or something. they were everywhere, taking up all the tables inside and a huge mob outside too. we got our food and sat at the furthest table outside and laughed and observed as weird crap happened. someone's car got dented. two cars with crazy subwoofers came to the parking lot and had some sort of rap bass showdown. there were people doing doughnuts in the wal-mart parking lot across the street. it was just way too crazy and hilarious, we all talked about how it kinda reminded us of eka and watched stuff of bri's phone.

so we went back to the house and i played more points matches until i finally got tired and went to sleep. on saturday morning, mari said that hayden and xoli were coming to pick her up for renn faire, and bri said that she was going to go with cody, cassandra, and sherandra. james wanted to go but he couldn't afford it, so i ended up getting ready at the last second and going in cody and cassandra's truck with brina after mari got picked up.

renn faire was really fun and entertaining. i don't get to see sherandra and cassandra much, and i haven't seen cody probably since he graduated from eka, so it was neat to get to hang out with them. we walked around and looked at shops, i found out that camels don't have hooves (srsly wat) and we discussed terrifying homestuck cosplayers. for a while we lost cody and sherandra and just sat in front of the camels for a while. i got a delicious banana-colada snow cone, and we watched the jousting tournament. we were in "sir william's" side, and he won. it was pretty dang sweet. the dust and smoke in the air made me all asthma-ey so i had to use my inhaler, but i felt basically fine.

james picked us up at like 9-ish and as soon as i got in the car, my nose started running and i started coughing a lot. even after we got home i was still in a coughing fit and i used my inhaler twice again that night before i went to bed. the next morning, same thing. stuffed up nose, coughing. inhaler again. my mom told me that i shouldn't use the inhaler that much, so she went and borrowed a breathing machine from a pediatrician she knows because i just couldn't breathe. after using this breathing machine for 10 minutes, i felt really weak and light-headed, so i took a nap. i felt even worse when i woke up, and just kinda of dragged myself around for the rest of the day until the evening, when i got really bad. i broke into a cold sweat and just sat on my bed in front of a fan for a while feeling like i was about to pass out. i have no idea what it was. it passed after about half an hour, and i flopped around a bit more on the computer before taking a shower and then going to bed. this morning i feel a bit better, my nose isn't as stuffed up, but my joints still ache horribly, i'm still coughing seemingly for no reason, and i have an awful headache. i have no idea if a caught something at renn faire or what.

anyway that's been the weekend. last week at work we started building the new computer, it's gigantic and beautiful. i even got to help put the motherboard together, and we're setting up the cool new alienware laptop too. i feel really bad about not going today, because i wanted to help with the yogurtland spot, but i'm just too sick. if i still feel terrible tomorrow, i don't know what i'll do. i have to turn in my second japanese portfolio, my make up quiz vocab, and my katakana papers, and we're doing an interesting class activity that'll help with vocabulary for the midterm. i can't miss that, i don't want to miss any of that class, it's too much fun...

i'd go play some more points matches in gg2 but i don't feel like slamming the buttons and yelling at the tv right now. i'll catch up with vocab from chapter 3 in japansese. bye bye~ :3

instant collage

It's been a while since I made a post, I haven't been feeling super well for the past few days and I've been studying really hard for Japanese vocab tests lately. Some coworkers suggested that I make an Instagram a few weeks ago, and since then I've been using it to post a lot of pictures. I don't like the way it drags down the quality of the images, but hey, here's a bunch of pictures that I've accumulated over the past few weeks on Instagram that are better viewed full-size. With no context~! :3

 

 

 

 

Maybe I'll describe some later on? Maybe I'll post pictures of stuff that I've been meaning to post pictures of for like two months? NOBODY KNOWS.

wehhh

I haven't made a post... I'm terrified of the old blogger interface disappearing! The new one doesn't work on my computer and I can't figure out why. :c

So uh. School's been nice and busy. I have a big Japanese vocab test coming up on Tuesday that I should be studying for. Last Thursday was 'club day' where everyone apparently floods the lunchroom... and holds sumo wrestling matches. Yep. I saw Ann in the cafeteria and I haven't seen her in a while, and everyone in both of my classes is very nice and friendly! I can't wait for my anthropology class to start in October so that I can just get it done. Though this semester is amusing, I really want the spring semester to be here! I want to be in biology and stuff. It'll be really neat.

My sister went to see Obama speak at the Cashman Center on one of my work days, the same day one of the hard drives in the computer failed. We brought all four of them to Fry's, to try and see if we could get a replacement, and they shut down the tunnel underneath the airport on the way back. We just barely avoided getting stuck in a never-ending traffic jam. There were cops everywhere that day, but it is cool that he came to speak here. Later on we found out that it wasn't the hard drives that were having a problem, it was the motherboard of the work computer that was failing. So, on Monday, we're re-doing the entire edit bay! I'm really excited to see how it all turns out, I think it'll be awesome.

So that's basically it, work, school, work, school, homework, hiragana parctice, tumblr for a bit, repeat. I've discovered the joy of points matches in GG2 in m free time and I'm completely addicted to it. It's basically Guilty Gear 2: troll edition. Pick up your servants, send some off in different directions, pop in front of various masterghosts and pick up tons of points, then leave and do the same all over the map. I feel like I'm being a total douche while I'm playing, but it's really hilarious.

Oh yeah, and we had a big rainstorm the other day. A lightning strike put the power at CSN out while I was waiting for class, and the air conditioning went off. When it rains here, it doesn't really get any cooler, so it got really hot really quick, and classes were called off until they got the power on later that night. James brought me a bundt cake when he got back from math, too. I freaking love bundt cake.

I got FoC Shockwave along with a really awesome hamburger shirt at Wal-Mart. I also found nail polish that is the same color as Sin's eyes. I've sunk pretty low. I might buy a TV for my room soon, too. I want a small one, though.

Tomorrow I will begin the long and tedious process of gradually lightening my hair from this dark brown, to light brown, to blonde for my Ky cosplay in November. So, goodbye brown hair with highlights! I paid an absurd amount of money for the highlights and they were neat for the summer, but it's time for me to actually be blonde~!

I guess that's really all I've got to talk about for now. I may not be on blogger for a bit when they get rid of the old interface, but I'll eventually figure out what's wrong and get it working again. Until then, I'm always on tumblr. Bye byeee~~

bahhh.

I guess I really don't have much to report on right now, Chad's birthday video went really well, school has started up and my professors are all very nice, and not a whole lot else has happened aside from homework. I watched Mike put together his really nice new computer a few days ago, and went through lots of old files on my own computer. Nothing special, I guess? Well, hm.



I can't be the only person who is like, stupid excited to see this in the fall. I mean like, cute girls, tanks, and the military director from Strike Witches? This is like the thing I've been waiting to see all my life. Aside from Strike Witches. There won't be Spitfires, but what the heck.

I really don't have anything else to talk about, I guess? Gotta get back to homework!

more recap

I am seriously so bad at posting here now. I remember this blog, make like three posts in three days, then forget about it entirely for like weeks and come back. I guess there really isn't a whole lot to recap this time, since it's been pretty chill here as we near the end of summer. I go back to school on Tuesday, boo.

This past week I've worked every day because Chad's birthday is coming up. My dad wants to make a video presentation for the party tomorrow, and we ended up with a huge ammount of pictures from all times of his life. What seemed like an easy video project suddenly became this HUGE project, with all sorts of different parts and such! I think it'll turn out really well,when I left yesterday we had a good portion of it finished, and I think it'll be really funny and just a nice thing to play at his party.

The weekend before this upcoming one, I went to Animegacon (on Friday I think?) for the fashion show, only to find out that they had to use the convention-hired models, and I brought my petticoat and shoes and all that jazz for absolutely nothing. I also paid for my badge, which was ridiculously expensive for such a small con, and no-one else I knew went with me. So I was basically alone at the convention all day. But, as it turned out, I had a lot of fun. When I'm by myself I'm really sh and awkward around people, so I couldn't muster up the courage to commission pictures of Sin from the really great artists there, and I could barely ask 'how much is this' when I wanted to buy something, but for me it's way easier to talk to cosplayers. I met a few really nice lolitas there and a kickass Ezio cosplayer, me and this guy working at a yaoi booth formed a bond because he was shouting about how more people need to support Touhou and I ran over and brofisted and talked about Patchouli, and I went to the Funimation panel and met the marketing director for Hetalia, who said that there was indeed going to be a fifth season. She was super duper nice! And she cosplays Nyotalia Prussia at the Funimation headquarters~ that just made my day. Then I went and bought a Flying Mint Bunny keychain and almost bought a Russia plushie, but instead I found- wait for it- ...LYNNE'S FIGMA~! I've been looking all over for it at a decent price and now I finally have it. It really is a great figure. I can't really get her striker unit on properly by myself and I need some help with it, but other than that, I love it. Then as I waited for James to come pick me up, I chilled in the main hall and befriended this trap guy from Florida and we discussed weird convention rules, like how many cons have banned signs. It was just fun. I really enjoyed it, maybe I'll go back next year if I can stay away from the planning and stuff.

Then yesterday, James and I went to a crazy McDonalds. It was so strange looking, I can't even describe it. One of those new stylish ones. We had to go to Michael's and WalMart because I wanted to crafts. Last night I was up until about 7 AM on Tumblr pondering the existence of glue and making friendship bracelets. James and I have this kinda new thing where we blame the problems of the world on Ky. I don't even remember where it came from, probably me doing Overture replays and following him around screaming "FREAKING KY" at the TV screen. So I have a bracelet that just says "freaking ky." I made ones for Bri and I, hers says "I hate you" and mine says "no you don't" which is a long-running inside joke. Mari wants one that says "real talk" after our hilarious conversation on Skype last night.

I also wanted to make OTP pendants since I saw that post on Tumblr about them. Right now I want to start by making just a few, from my two favorite fics of all time, Five Million Years and If Your God Were Real. I want to make a couple more, probably from The Butterfly and the Gentleman and General Relativity, because Hetalia. That is all the reason I need. Also maybe one from Eidolon, since I read it right before writing Invictus and though Thorki isn't like one of my shippy ships, it really inspired me to write with that tone and I really enjoyed it.

Anyway, I think that's all that's really happened. Boo, I don't want to do schoolwork soon. :C I don't feel like posting pictures today so I'll do it some other time.

making a lot of posts now that i've rediscovered blogger

Live-tweeting old fics here.
Right now is Go Do (from Nano 2011), then Alive (the shitbox fic from last semester), then sometime later I'll do One Note Samba followed by Two Step Tango.
I might do The Paxmal even though it's really short an unedited at the present moment.
Just because I find it really fun to make fun of my own horrible writing. :3c

ah

I actually meant to post a lot of pictures today. From all the fun in California, and on the Strip, and generally just from around the house. I also wanted to talk about how my sister is making my a tiny Chimaki out of clay for me. I'm going to put it on a keychain and carry it literally everywhere with me.

I was super enthusiastic about today, because I finally enrolled for my classes for this semester, and I've been planning to go on a trip to Japan for the Fall semester of 2014, to complete a ~SURPRISE~ double-major in Japanese, before I went to UNLV for the Microbiology junk. I thought I was all on track, and that next Semester I'd be taking English and so on.

Everyone already knows the kind of high school I went to, and though I adore the place and it changed my life and introduced me to almost everyone I know and love today, they can be kind of retarded sometimes. Like in a weird way. I was never told about SAT or ACT tests. My graduating class had literally never gotten an opportunity to take them, because we had no clue what they were. No-one explained them to us. There were none held at the school. I found out that they were testing at a high school across town, and that all of the seniors that still hadn't taken them were sent there so that they could complete them. But not us, for whatever reason. I don't want to give EKA all the blame, because my problems are partially due to my bad planning, but that little thing, not taking my SAT or ACT tests, is the central issue here.

Up until now I've taken classes that don't require English as a prerequisite, because I don't know how to take SAT or ACT stuff now, when I graduated in 2010. I guess that I can take a placement test to go into English and math. So today I found out that my political science class, along with all of the other histories, require English as a prerequisite. If I could've taken it, along with the anthropology class I have, I would be halfway to completing my associates, save for the English and literature classes. But, since I have to take a placement test now, and can't get into a class until next semester, I've pretty much been set back a year.

English 101 will be in the spring of next year for me, and I don't take anything less than being in that, along with the mandatory Japanese, and Biology, and Chemistry. What's funny about that is that usually Chemistry is something you take in high school, to get a basic handle on it at least. Yeah. None of that at EKA. I don't even know what the hell chemistry actually is, and I have to take a test to get into it. So, after I do that, I have two short summer semesters to try and poop out my other Englishes and get up to Calculus, and then the fall of that year and spring of next year to do two physics classes, two more (really hard) biologies, my final year of Japanese, a political science class unless they offer it over the summer, and... whatever else there is. Calculus. A literature class unless they offer it during the summer.

It's going to be really hard. Like, I know for a fact that the physics and biology classes get really stupid hard near the end. And I'm pissed, at my high school for not offering the tests I need, and at myself, for not thinking that I should have taken a test earlier, or just not planning it right, or something. I have to suffer the consequences, though, because the last thing I want to end up like is my sister's boyfriend, who doesn't even have a two-year degree and just turned 23. I refuse to not have an associates by the Fall of 2014. I really want to go to UNLV, and I really want to be an orthodontist before I turn 30. I know that's a really far-of goal, and that dental school is tough and competitive, but that's part of the appeal to me. I just don't want to fall too far behind. And now I wish I had done things differently, and I'm probably freaking out about this too much, but I'll probably wish that I'd done things some other way for years and years.

I'll shut up about this now though, since I am just making myself freak out about it, and I'll go back to getting my pictures ready to post sometime in the near future. At least, I can say that I'm thankful that I'm able to go to college at all, and when it comes down to it, I'm not giving up, and I'll tough it out and get my degrees no matter what. I want to put braces on people.

No lame-ass English class is gonna stop me from putting braces on people.

WOW OKAY

I'M GOING TO MAKE A POST FOR REAL. Okay I have to think about what has happened. I'll go backwards.

Yesterday my sister was supposed to go to the doctor, but she didn't, and instead we all went to the Strip to meet up with one of my friends from Tumblr. It was pretty freakin' awesome even though we didn't find Bumblebee. We took pictures with people dressed as all sorts of stuff and walked around and it was super fun. Before we went to Fremont Street we ate at Jack in the Box where a guy was swinging around a bottle of piss.

Then the day before that, I guess that would be Saturday? I dunno. I think that was the day that James and I decided to walk around Town Square. They replaced Border's with a CONTAINER STORE. It is literally a store full of containers. Of all shapes and sizes. I went to H&M to find leggings but couldn't find ones that I liked. We went to Fry's to look around at stuff and I found a Train Simulator that I want for Christmas or something. I've played with some before because train feels everywhere but I've never actually owned one. So I obsessed about that for the rest of the day. We also got Chipotle. Yep.

Annnnd uh. The day before that would be Friday. Which... I know we did something. OH NO WAIT. On FRIDAY we went and did that stuff at Town Square. On Saturday, it was Mike's 23rd birthday! So we all went out to Red Lobster to eat. I meat some of his friends that I've apparently met at Anime Vegas, and we enjoyed biscuits and wrote stories about sad lobsters and penguins pooping on the floor. Then we went to the arcade at Sunset Station and James and I played a game of Deal or No Deal where we picked the freaking one ticket briefcase, and it narrowed down to either 1 or 200. I pestered him into taking the final deal and we came out with 100 tickets, which we used to buy a big blow up hammer. It was hilariously fun.

Later that day I read through the second draft of Invictus and live-tweeted the horrible parts while skipping over most of it, mostly just screaming about supa kawaii babby Sin is because that is what I do with my life now. I know that on Thursday, the D4 came in! I played around with it and it was totally amazing. I have no doubt that it will be the best camera I ever get to use. I also did some editing for DotFit spots that look pretty awesome. Then when I got home, James and I went to Chinatown-area because I needed to get fitted for my outfit. I am modeling in a lolita fashion show this Friday at AniMegaCon, so everyone in town should come down and visit me! I'll be there all weekend and my cousin Mika's friend is the designer of all the clothes we'll be wearing~! So I got fitted for that, and afterward, we went to Anime Ramen. I really wanted chicken curry. The cosplayer waitresses were all really nice and gave me some hot water for my shirt when I dropped a peice of curry into the bowl and it splattered onto my sleeve. I felt like such an idiot. But then we went to the Chinatown mall and I bought some notebooks, one of which chronicles the adventure of a Soviet bunny plushie. I'll post pictures of it sometime.

Um. Okay. So that was Thursday, so on Wednesday I have no idea what happened? Oh no wait. Kaela came over! And I played through most of Haunting Ground, and fun times were had. Jame and I also went to CiCi's Pizza because I wanted buffalo chicken pizza~! Then I know that on Tuesday we dropped Mari off at her new job at Starbucks, after they stayed the night on Monday. We had gone and seen the new Batman movie, which was absolutely the best movie I've seen since Dark of the Moon came out.

THEN. Alright. Monday was the day we got back. Now I can start working forward. I think. We left for California on Thursday I think, and came back on Sunday or Monday, I can't really remember properly. Gosh what a fun and eventful vacation. We headed out to Palmdale in the dark listening to loud music and reminiscing about Daft Punk. I hadn't listened to their albums since like 9th grade when they got popular at EKA. We arrived late at night and watched some Olympic swimming with his cousin Mike. We went to bed late and got up early the next morning!

James' dad had bad heartburn, so we started the long 3 hour drive to Solvang by ourselves. It was about 8 AM when we left, and we blasted the music and found our way through the hills to the coast and it was absolutely the most fun ever. I love being in the car with him because we both laugh and derp around so much, and we have the same taste in electronica and we'll both sing along to the music. The coast was gorgeous, and after what seemed like a forever trip, with odd stops at gas stations in farming towns and crazy Californian drivers, we got to Solvang. It is still as cute and perfect as I remember it to be. Since we only had a few hours to run around, I just kinda went on this mad dash to find gifts for everyone and visit the shops I like. We had a nice lunch and I got a delicious croissant sandwich. James bought me a tiny tea set because I love tiny tea sets. I got presents nad we saw the bookstore and the horses and the little Danish bakeries and gah. It was wonderful. Then, on the way back, we stopped in Santa Barbara and went to the beach! That was amazing too, so much fun. It was a long drive back to Palmdale, but worth it.

The next day, we went to the super huge mall in Glendale. It was seriously so enormous I can't even describe it. They had a Lego store. I bought a Transformers Wallet and a shirt from Tilly's that was on sale for like five bucks. They had a three-story Target store! We also ate at a fish place and I got like a gigantic plate of yellow rice. It was so delicious. I slept the whole way home 'cause I was really full.

On the last day before we left, James' aunt Karen came back from a three week trip to India. It was so nice to see his whole family again. I met his cousin Ryne's girlfriend Melissa, and at dinner that night they announced that she was pregnant! So his aunt and uncle will be grandparents! And James will have a first cousin, or cousin once-removed, or whatever that is? I don't know the name. But it was really cute and sweet. She is due to have the baby sometime in early spring next year.

On the day we left, we went to Monroeville ( I think that's the name? ) to pick up James' brother, Alex, who broke his finger playing football and needed a lift back to Las Vegas to get it checked out. The drive there was really neat, and when we stopped like four hours into our trip in Baker, it was 116 degrees. Yesterday, it was 120 degrees in the afternoon. Super hot. But yep! There is a brief summary of what has happened. It's been pretty busy, so I haven't made a post.

Oh also, Auf Wiedersehen, Sweethear tis over and I completely lost it and cried like a douche at the end like I knew I would. It was the part with Feliciano's family being so nice that really got me, and Spain, gosh. Yep. And the very end bit. Oh and we're beginning to put up the foundation of a big new roleplay. I might post it up here when it's finished, but for now it's just an outline. The important part is that I get to play a Sunstorm / Ky / Bishop-type character, which I love doing, because I am a turd. 'Kay.

Later Blogger. I'll post pictures some other time when I feel like it~. =u=

the last true land of the west.

So. I didn't inform Blogger that I was going on a trip to Ely, because it was kinda last minute. I mean like, I had to call and ask for the day off of work because I would have no time to pack otherwise. It was really random, and there had been no mention of it until a couple of days before it happened.

We left on Thursday (I think?) and got back this afternoon. James and I have been together for nearly three years, and yet I still hadn't met his grandfather on his mother's side (where his two middle names come from) who had only been mentioned in conversations before. James had told me that he was a cowboy.

And seriously, he was. Like not a guy who has horseshoes and bronco pictures in his house and owns a few ordinary trail horses. This guy was a legit ranch cowboy. He has ten acres up in Ely, and we stayed there for three nights with James' mother, father, older sister, his two adopted brothers and sister, his sister's two daughters, and his aunt. A whole bunch of people. It wasn't a bad drive, most of it was in the dark, but we got to see the pretty Nevada scenery and mountains during the sunset. I am the biggest sucker for the sunsets here. I am completely convinced that you have not lived fully until you have seen a Nevadan sunset with the clouds and purple mountains and just ugh gosh they are pretty. ANYWAY.

We arrived in Ely super late at night so stuff was actually closed, and we went straight to the ranch. You have to pass through these two mountains to get there, a place called Hercules' Gap. It was actually kind of terrifying at night. But during the day it just looks pretty. His grandmother was there and we all said hi to her, then his grandpa woke up and gave us a short tour because he and James were going to pitch a tent for all of the younger kids to sleep in. I could barely see in the dark, but James and I ended up sleeping in the storage area of one of his bigger horse trailers, in the little tack room area. It was pretty comfy, but the weather there gets to be around like 65 degrees at night, which is freezing when you're used to it being over 100 degrees after midnight and well into the morning. We slept inside for the next two days.

Friday morning, we all went to McDonalds and got a quick breakfast, got some water for the house, and went back to hang out with the animals. There were a whole bunch of cows, chickens, ducks, and horses. He had a gorgeous chestnut mare and a paint stallion, and his aunt had brought her palomino Texas Walking Horse down to get him trained, so he was there too, along with a mule, and a bunch of other cows we could see form the freeway grazing on BLM land. After a while we all went down to the lake on the other side of town, which was full of real actual water. The kids were trying to catch things but I had a really bad stomachache for some reason, so I sat on the bank and James tried to teach me how to skip rocks, which I cannot do to save my life. We left early with his dad, and got some apples and watermelons at the store. Then we went out to the hills behind the ranch and set the fruit away from us, and shot at it with the AR-15. I really, really love that gun. His dad went through a lot of trouble to buy the silencer so that we could go around without ear protection, and James was the one to take the first shot only to find out that it wasn't put back on all the way after he had cleaned it. His shot grazed the top of the watermelon, but the silencer popped off and flew about twenty feet away, and James got ht in the face by the gun. We reattached it and kept shooting, and we vaporized some apples. There was just nothing left of them. I shot the watermelon in a way that made the inside jelly-like. It was jiggly to the touch. It was glorious.

We went back and hung out with the dogs, Sporty and Eager, and then had a sort of messed up bar-b-que. His grandfather had a fire pit, so we put a peice of metal over it, stuck some wood underneath, and grilled burgers on top. It actually came out super delicious, and we all had smores later on. We all talked so much and it was so funny, hanging out with his family. They're always hilarious, with the kids doing stuff that makes everyone laugh, and all the stories they have of James' childhood. It was just really fun. We stayed out talking by the grill until pretty late at night, and then went to sleep after I tried getting on the computer in a stupid attempt to start editing Invictus to make it present-tense.

Saturday morning, we went with James' aunt to take her horse Johnny to two people who train them in Ely. It had bucked her off, so she wanted to get him trained and reliable. We chilled at McDonalds (which was like, our choice place for eating breakfast over the course of this trip) and then visited their ranch. They had a ton of horses, and a really pretty pond and small stream by their barn. We watched them do groundwork with a bay paint they called Bullseye, and then went back to the house. All of the kids had gone back to the lake to go fishing, and some people were going to go to the rodeo happening in Lund, but James and I decided to stay because it was getting pretty hot. I had a really bad connection, so I could really only use Twitter to talk to myself as I continued to try and edit the stupid novel again, and I couldn't get on Tumblr to load my dash or anything. Don't want to waste dat 3G.

When the girls got back from the rodeo, we went down the street to this Mexican restaurant and Crystal and I both got some really good chicken nachos. We talked about more hilarious stuff, from pets being killed in unfortunate ways to people proposing in unfortunate ways (a guy at the rodeo had proposed to his girlfriend by falling off of a bull and pretending to be horribly wounded until she ran out onto the dirt and found him crouched over holding a ring for her) and other odd stuff. After that, we headed back to the house, messed around outside some more with the animals and the cats, and went to sleep after all of the kids began passing out on the living room floor to the TV. I really wanted to take one of the orange tabby cats they had home with us, they were all so friendly and cute.

And, this morning, we all packed up and left pretty early, in order to get a headstart toward home. Most of Nevada's highways are just these winding two-lane deals that are terrible in the dark, so it was good and bright when we left. The trip home was fairly short, and I wasn't in charge o the music that time around, so I just kind of dozed and listened to a lot of music.

But, it was so much fun. I love his family, and the animals, and the weird rural-ness of Ely. We saw downtown, and we saw all sorts of little houses and stores and stuff. There were so many funny things said (mostly by James' nieces, "I have ten thousand boyfriends 'cuz I'm a cheater!") and other odd stuff. The fish they caught and fed to the cats. The dogs getting off their chains and running wild. The kids riding on the mule. The cozily crowded house, the nice cool nights where you could hear coyotes howling outside. It was just awesome. I hope we get to go back sometime soon~ <3

The title of the post came from his grandfather, who was talking about the land beyond their farms. While most of the rest of the country is fenced, this part of the state isn't and he told us that you could just take a horse and ride forever and ever, and it would feel like you went back in time by two centuries, that it was the last true land of the old west.

Here, have more pictures~! :D

it's 3 am.

I really wish that, when people die, they go to a nice place. No matter what mistakes they've made, no matter their life choices, just somewhere good and warm where they don't have to worry. Ron Bell died, he worked for Shonkwiler and I talked to him and his wife a few weeks ago at his office. And this Meagan girl, whom I didn't even know, but she was a Seattle lolita, and it feels strage to have someone in the loli community pass away.

It just feels awful when I hope for them to have moved on to a nice place, but I just know that they died. They just cease to exist. I don't want it to be like that. I want them to rest and be happy, not for them to just... die.

I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore, it's 3 am and I have to work tomorrow and I'm typing this on my phone in the dark. Bye.

whoops i'm horrible.

I guess it's been a while since I made a post, but I feel like complete and utter shit today, so I'm only going to make it a few sentences long.

I lost my camera charger. I lost my matrix necklace. We're taking care of Mari and Hunter's kitten, Rolo. I like cinnamon kettle corn. I got a tiny Shockwave and a big Megatron, and a blue lantern pin, and L.A. Noire. I bought sheets for my mom. It's Bastille Day. I'm behind on posts and replies. I want to play Fallout.

Yep, that's about it. I'm sorry that if something happened to me, it would get in the way of everyone leveling their new World of Warcraft characters. It would probably suck. I'm going to stay in my room and write so that I don't bother anyone.

notes from camp and other junk

I should probably make a post here before we go see Spiderman.

Ah, what has happened? My favorite holiday has come and gone, we went and saw fireworks at Mission Hills, I can roleplay again for the first time in what feels like forever but is actually just two weeks, and I have the week of from work! Doing this story had made everyone in this house kinda open up to Overture again, we all used to sit around and play a lot of Accent Core in the old house (ironically, the Overture House) but now the strategy part has kind of made it more interesting. So we've been playing that and the last Assassin's Creed while everyone was away at Anime Expo, and kinda wasting time away because it's summer.

First of all, before I go into the bulk of this post, THESE ARE THINGS THAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM DOING CAMP NANOWRIMO FOR THE FIRST TIME (MOSTLY PERTAINING TO GUILTY GEAR):

• It does not help to try and dye your hair the color of your main character.

• It helps to be in a busy place when you're writing stupid parts because then you write it really quick and get it out of the way to get on toward the awesome bits. This is a problem I always had. I'd get to part that I didn't want to write, get stuck on it, and never write more in the story.

• Buffets are good.
  

• Headers and footers in word 2010 are really stupid and no-one should have to use them.

• It helps to scream about your word count (and that you're TOTALLY GONNA WIN YOU KNOW) on every website you possibly can, because it sort of shoves you into the "you have to get this done, losing isn't an option" territory.

• Overture's game script makes no sense. Like literally, so little fucking sense it's nearly incomprehensible when you delve into it. There is so much that has yet to be explained. And so much techno-blabber that I wish I understood.
  

• Sol probably plays a lot of Touhou.

• It also helps to stop and legit play through Overture with your sister and laugh at all of the homosexual subtext (IDLE THOUGHTS) and play Call Me Maybe when Ky and Sin are talking to each-other and scream at the replay viewer like crazy because you have zero recollection of the fights that were recorded.
  

• P.S.~ You can totally unlock Chimaki and run around as him on the replay viewer. You have to collect all of the Chimaki dolls in the levels before being able to do so. Seriously what the fuck.
  

• Stop every once and a while and formulate a cinematic trailer in your head to Zack Hemsey music. He's the guy who did Mind Heist. For this fic I picked Warrior's Lullaby.

• It helps to look through the Pixiv tags for your characters (if your novel is fanfiction) and find hilarious images that will keep you interested in the current series and not start drifting off into something else, here's looking at you, Hetalia.

• Actually, just no Hetalia at all.

• And it also helps to put all of your other good fics / stories in a separate folder and stare longingly at them, wanting to open them or work on them, but not really able to do so.

• It also really helps to make stupid edits of Sin for tumblr because then you're forced to stare at his adorable face and feel guilty for not writing at that very moment.

• Also out-of-context music works well, I swear I wrote like half of this fic to Karmin's Brokenhearted. And I hate myself for it. And for crossing the word count finish line while listening to Love Distance Long Affair, because lolstupidjpopshit.
  

• Sin's theme song is now officially Some Nights by fun.

• The Overture art book is scary and you should look at it to remind yourself of how scary Guilty Gear is.

• No I really really mean it, Valentine's Charlotte servants are literally the most terrifying things to ever exist. THEY HAVE A HEAD. IN THE CHEST. AND THEY HAVE LITTLE SKIRTS. AND THE FEET. THEY CAN'T WALK. SO THEY HOP ON YOU. UGH I WILL NEVER GET OVER THEM.

• Being at a school (EVEN IF YOU AREN'T CURRENTLY ATTENDING SAID SCHOOL) helps you write more productively.

• It also super duper helps to make a list of headcanons about your stupid main character.
  

• And to fall madly in love with him.

• And to still want to brutally smash his skull in with a hammer.

• Also, That Man keeps his memories backed up on external drive, this is a fact that is new to me. There's a story about him and a story about Raven in the Overture book.

• You're not allowed to play League of Legends. Even when there are fantastical League of Legends things happening in the room while you write.

• NO ASAKIKU MMD VIDEOS.

• Showers are a cure-all for the "I feel like shit after writing for five hours" feelings.

• Oh, and to run out and play in the sprinklers at two in the morning like you're a little kid is fun too.

• And when you finish, one must go to Denny's with friends and laugh at the phrase "Prettophile" and eat pancake bites and talk about LoL and not give a fuck about your crappy fanfiction anymore.

I've decided not to participate in August. In the middle of this fic, I thought the ending would warrant one that followed it (at first I had intended to kill someone important off because the timeline would have been way more stretched out over a series of several decades, but luckily James gave me a kickass plot twist and that didn't need to go down) but now I think it's fine as a stand-alone, and if I'm not writing a second part, I don't want to throw myself into another big story until November. I feel like I've explained the things I wanted to explain, Sin's flag, the origin of why he talks about "the pain of Indra", some other random shit about him that was never stated, the terms they use in-game and tying up a few lose ends with a few of the more favorite characters while still not going overboard with it. I didn't want literally everyone popping up, so I narrowed it down the "the two most likely" to be involved with the plot. I'm ranting now so I'm going to stop. I still have to edit this huge pile of shit. =u=

I've also found that if you don't pick up a pencil for two weeks, your drawing skills go to complete shit. Kind of like string instruments, violins that are really old and are still regularly played sound better than violins that are really old and haven't been played in years.

OH, TOTALLY UNRELATED. I talked to Steve Blum on the phone. My sister apprently went up to him at AX and said that I couldn't make it to the con, so she wanted him to call me and talk in Starscream's voice. And he did. Never in my life did I ever think I'd hear my name in Starscream's voice and scream that loudly. I kinda flipped my shit. It was awesome.

Now we'll all listen to Curtain Call (because I have NO pictures or anything because my camera battery is dead), probably one of the five songs I've listened to more than anything else in my life. I am not even kidding. I was in like 11th (or 10th?) grade and Overture had just come out and I fell completely in love with this song and Holy Orders III. But I listened to Curtain Call like, in excess of forty to fifty times a day, I'm not even kidding you. My sister would hear me blasting it on repeat on my headphones all day and be like "...you REALLY like that song, don't you?" Yes. Yes I do.

Anyway, yep. Summer semester end, Bingo Players songs on repeat, kids on bikes running into cars because of fireworks, tiny dogs next door, Ky burgers, Shin-Chan, Previously on X-Men, salty bracelets, Near ladies at McDonalds, GOTTA GO FAST trip to the mall with Riley, Queen (both the band and the servant that screams obnoxiously) and Ratchet riding on a big Teto. This month has been good. Next post I might describe all the strange dreams I've had lately.

NE NE BLOGGER

SO, HI BLOGGER. I'LL MAKE A MORE COHERENT POST TOMORROW BUT UH

I JUST WON CAMP NANOWRIMO.
IN FOURTEEN DAYS.

SO RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS IMAGINE DRAGONS HERE AND JUST SAY AKLSDLAKD ;LFKS;LFKSF;LKSFS I AM SO HAPPY

I FEEL SO ACCOMPLISHED. HELL YEAH.

IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE MY STATS, THEY'RE HERE.

BUT, FUCK YEAH. CAMP NANOWRIMO.

holy fucking shit i hate this earth.

I honestly did a long post that I was going to put up on the 1th after I got pictures saved.

Then I remembered that Camp Nanowrimo was this month and I almost had the urge to kill myself and everyone around me.

Last August I forgot and hated myself for it. Last November I got 25000 words into Go Do and gave the fuck up because I ran out of material and broke Latvia. This June, and this November, I refuse to give up.

I want my badge. I want my pride in saying that I wrote a goddamn novel in thirty days. This time, It'll be even better. I wrote 50000 words in 15 days.

Literally the night of the 11th, right before I remembered, I deleted everything in Invictus (fic I started in like 2009 with no idea what I was doing because I still hadn't finished Overture? I was an idiot derpy herp) and wrote down like an intro to the first chapter. Then the next day I flipped my shit and remembered, and I'm just going with it, sort of winging it, because I never had any idea what I was doing with this story the first time I was writing it, and I don't have any idea what I'm doing with it on this second round.

I don't have time to edit or make my sentences nice. I don't even have time to write it in the tense I want it to be in. I only have time to put words onto paper really. The first night I wrote 3000 words. Today I hit ten thousand. If I can get to fifteen within the next couple of days, I will be midly satisfied. I should be at 25k as of today. I'm still so so so behind.

All I can do for the rest of the month is smoosh my face into the keyboard and hope. I'm on tumblr making like word count updates occasionally, but I doubt I'll be on here much.

I started working on the cover so I can upload it to the Camp Nano site after I met my word count yesterday. It's coming out shitty, but I can't edit it right now because I still have another 2000 words to go by tonight. But I don't have any other pictures because... Yeah.


I hate writing. Nano only makes me miserable, but I do it because the feeling of winning has got to be awesome. And I'm gonna do it this time. You people can't let me give up now.

In November I'll do Circus. Planes and Russians and all sorts of nice shit that I already have planned out. But this time, fuck the earth, I'm writing a long-ass Overture fic because it was the only thing in front of me. Written mostly to that Karmin song, Brokenhearted, even though it has nothing to do with the content. I'm that lame.

BUT I'M GONNA DO IT. :3

popop.

Buuuuugh, I'm converting the Thor movie to a quicktime file, and I have work in the morning, but since Bee won't convert as soon as the screen saver comes on, I have to pass some time. It's on frame 63000. I wonder how many frames there are in the average movie? I work in production, I feel like I should know the answer to that already...

Ah, what is there to talk about? Denny's. A few days ago, Denny's happened. Like, all the Denny's. James, Mari, Hunter, Mike, Brina, Xoli, Jessica, and I all decided to go down there. OH, HERE'S A FUNNY STORY. IT'S LIKE A PREQUEL.

So Mari, James and I are sitting at the apartment in the middle of a LoL game. But James was playing some chick character instead of Blitzcrank, so it felt kind of hollow. I get a call from Kaela saying that Mattson is wondering why I'm not at prom setting up.

Ahaha. Prom.

I didn't put it in my calender. My dad had all the lights and the background I used last year. And I was sitting at home playing League of Legends. So I dropped my shit and put on whatever semi-decent clothes I had and got a ride down to Dragonridge, with Felix, and just started taking pictures. I have like, nothing. No flash. No lights. Just my one memory card, not even my order binder. So, I ended up doing it for free, since I was late and I didn't have shit. I felt really bad. I kind of let them down, by totally spacing it.

I got pictures of everyone and it was pretty fun. Bri came along and we hung out with Kaela and Quinn, I saw RJ and Nick for the first time in forever, there was lots of dancing at hanging outside on the balcony and food that I didn't partake in because I was running around in my "YOU MUST CAPTURE THIS MOMENT" mindset, standing on chairs and laying on the floor to try and get the right shot. I don't feel like my pictures this year were as good as the ones I took last year. I really have to start taking more pictures. :|

Anyway, after that was over, we stopped at home and then went to Denny's with everybody at like 10 pm. It was empty, and I'm glad, because we were really loud and obnoxious. I love those guys, hanging out with them makes me relive the days when being loud and obnoxious was the everyday norm, along with flipping trays of ice and ketchup onto scene kids and getting kicked out of the mall, and throwing dead birds at our friends in the parking lot. And playing holocaust and watching Mike punch Hunter to the ground.

We got shared meals and had discussions about LoL and poured Denny's all over the table, like I mean ALL over the table, made an experiment milkshake abomination, and got sung to by a kickass waiter. Eating out like that will now be a weekly thing. It was just a blast. I wish I had brought Felix along.

I'm on frame 84000. I didn't even explain the context of Thor! Well, obviously, I am totally obsessed with Tom Hiddleston's teeth. That is true, but not part of the context. He's like the guy who playes teenage Anakin. I just want to touch his teeth and look at them all day. Anyway uh, the 8th is my dad's birthday, and he still hasn't seen The Avengers. He was so excited for it, but every time we try to see it, something comes up. He hasn't seen Thor, either, and I told him that he needs to, otherwise he won't get the full impact of the movie.

So, I got him a Batman shirt today at the mall, and I'm putting Thor on a flash drive and telling him that he has 24 hours to watch it, because we're going to see Avengers 3D on his birthday. Everyone's taking him to Smashburger tomorrow, and I'll give him the news and stuff then~!

Also, Imagine Dragons is getting airplay. They're at like #3 on popular songs in my city. I knew it, I knew as soon as Kristi showed a few of their songs to me, that they're gonna be huge. They are our next "The Killers." Their music is going to be everywhere, and I feel oddly proud, like I watched a kid grow up or something. Since No Limits has started back up and their Continued Silence EP came out, I really want to make a Sol/Ky FST based around their track "My Fault." But the last thing I need, in this time of posts and formats and unfinished ficlets, do I need to fall back into making FSTs.

Oh and okay, speaking of Ky, I'm bleaching the shit out of my hair. I keep saying that I've always wanted short blonde hair, so I figure, fuck it. I'm going to goddamn Anime Expo in a month. I might as well look like a bishie while I'm at it. I can't cosplay because I bought a fish, aha. But, I don't think it matters that much. GOD 101000 FRAMES. WHEN DOES THIS END?

Yeah, I've had black hair for too long. I want a tablet so I can draw the phases my hair has been through. No-one I've met at CSN believes that it was once ass-length and a hideous shade of reddish purple. Back in those days, a "bad hair day" was my hair just being curly... All I had to do was clip it back and my problems were solved. :C


See? That looks cool. Like all wavy and shit. Yeah, now it does this thing where it's like I'M GONNA CURL ALL TO ONE SIDE LOL.

Ugh, okay, now I don't want to look at my hair anymore. I don't know how being blonde will fix that, and I don't know what happened to my nice cheekbones. I got fat ;_;

I should already be in bed, because tomorrow, edit bay. Yep. But I'm going to work on my neverending Dizzy post first. Bye bye blogger, this has been an absolutely useless post full of my hideous face and my weird hair.

Actually no. Why don't I pollute this shitty post even more? Have some garbage artwork, too. :3

Wow, this looks REALLY bad as a thumbnail? Definately better fullsize. TEF deer from Bishop's family, on the left is Magdalene with her wreath of flowers (which I don't know how to draw flowers so I just kinda scribble) and on the right is his mom Kyrie, and I totally forgot what her pelt looks like.

And then, Gumdrop1, another antagonist from Circus, who is missing an arm and a foot because I'm not sure what they look like yet. I'm not too fond of her head. She's kinda Cappy's baby, but not. That made a lot of sense? Okay, I'm done now.

And now you know, Thor has 165210 frames.
