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.
