Life in a Shoebox!

If you wish to be a friend, please leave a comment and I'll add you!!!!

I'm back from Acen.  More about my Para disappointment and some awesome cosplay pictures later.  Lucia missed me, I feel so loved^^

Oh yeah, I am now the proud (and poor) owner of the 2002 Haruno Sumire dinner show!!!!!  Holy crap, this is the best thing I've ever seen or heard in my life!!!!!!  She is totally amazing!

Beware the Ides of March!

No good news (big fucking shock.) Tomorrow starts my harassment of every Dean on campus. I already hate them all.

Yeah, I'm a dork, but I couldn't resist^^

what flavor pocky are you?

Back to doing fashion show crap. Oh yeah, this year, the fashion show doesn't have a hair and makeup crew (first year I did this, they did, which was great!) It's a good thing I have Michelle or I would really be screwed with that aspect. I honestly think the fashion show gets worse every year. I HATE IT!!!!

I still have one pattern left to do before I leave for class at 3. I'll only be having 2 full designs from my line in the fashion show this year, which is fine, that's 2 more than I wanted anyways. Sketches will be posted when and if I feel like it. At least I didn't have to go into the costume shop today.

And for everyone that still doesn't know, all La Shish restaurants are closed. I'm so sad!!!!!!! Where am I supposed to get good food now!?

If you ever get a chance to watch Kamome Shokudo, I suggest that you do. Amazing Japanese movie set in Finland and includes my (now deceased) hero, Markku Peltola. I should take a trip in Finland, it would be awesome^^

Some day soon, I promise to get picture of all my recent costumes (Kiyoka Onisaka, Princess Venus, Honey Kisaragi '73, Miwako Sakurada, and most recently Amu Hinamori) I would be more prompt about these things, but I'm too lazy to care. And I need to get working on con related cosplays and fashion show stuff. 3 pieces for the show, one of which requires massive amounts of careful hand sewing (I love pad stitching!!!!) and since I realize that I hate myself, I've been roped into doing another Zelda cosplay (first person to kill me wins!)

Remember Eatman? That anime was truly amazing; not as amazing as Touch, but pretty close.

I will officially be going down to Animazement for my birthday. It will be my first plane trip without the comfort of family or Valium, so we'll see how long it takes before I'm thrown in a straight jacket (I know where to get one!) No clue what I'll be wearing, but I've got plenty of time to procrastinate, YAY!

Ikea trip tomorrow, I can't wait!!!!

Nothing beats handmade mochi ice cream, NOTHING!!!!

This whole internship hunt (which is failing, by the way) has made me realize one thing about myself. I don't want to grow up!!!!! I'm not ready for this whole "out in the real world" thing. I really need to get off my ass and start seriously looking for something, since internships generally start in June and I need one to graduate. It's so difficult, since I only know what I don't want (no NYC, LA or Chicago), but I have no idea what I want, besides a paid internship, that would rock. I need motivation, and a kick in the ass.

Maybe I just don't want to move out of my Michigan comfort zone (that's definitely the case too.) At least while I'm here, I have a family to lean on (and a fur baby to spoil.) When I move (since there's nothing in MI), I'll loose direct family contact, most likely be without a Lucia for a few months and I'm afraid of loosing contact with the few friends I have left (I'm so friendless you guys....)

I just need to keep reminding myself that I need a job if I ever want to afford my lightning blue Mini Cooper (and it will be mine!!!)




In other news, if I ever stop being such a coward, I'll post my sketches of my fashion show pieces. Lots of expensive fabric, that's all I have to say; silk tweed, silk jersey and horsehair canvas can really add up quick (to about $200, holy shit!!!!)





In other, other news, quick hate update for the past few days.
Feb 8-I hate people with bladder control problems
Feb 9-I hate Saturdays (and a bit miffed at Michelle for not considering me for the extra Flogging Molly ticket)
Feb 10-I hate having to eventually "grow up"

YAY, tonight is the night!!!! Very exciting!!!

How much of my shit is going to be ruin before Dad realizes he needs to CLEAN OUT THE FUCKING GUTTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so tired of my windows leaking EVERYTIME IT RAINS because for one reason or another he's too fucking lazy to do any work and I'm "not allowed" to do something possibly dangerous (that and I don't know how to work a ladder.....) Sometimes my father really pisses me off!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only one more day!!!!!!! Can't wait^^

I got my car back today!!!!!! Woot!!! I'm mobile again!

Still without a car.....I never realized how much I drive everyday until I don't have that option. I'm going crazy, I want out of the house!!!! Wal-mart never looked so good^^

Sissy is offically moving out the beginning of August. I can't wait! She's been driving me crazy as of late, constantly reminding me how much "better off" she is because she can move out; we'll see when you're actually out and paying for everything. And if she says once more about getting a tattoo, I'm going to throw her out the window. I don't like tattoos to begin with and I don't know what she's trying to prove to me by mentioning tattoos (other than the ability to drive me mad.)

Can't wait for Wednesday!!! Do you know why? Project Runway 3 starts!!!!!! YAY! Very exciting^^

I keep changing my mind and I'm thinking about going to Silverleaf maybe the 3rd or 4th weekend. I just don't feel the excitement about going to faires this year like I did last year.......Maybe because I got caught up in so much shit last year. I don't know. So, faire friends, which weekend should I go to? 3rd or 4th? And don't say both because I can't afford both and I have no interest in going more than one day.

I have a Laura cosplay to finish, it's looking so cool!!!!!! "I'm Laura and I'll always be Laura!!!!"

Well, my car is now in the shop, which means I have absolutely no way of getting around for today at least (the whole family's gone today which is normally nice, but now just sucks.) If I'm lucky, I might have my car back Monday afternoon, but I know better then to think something good will happen. This little adventure is going to cost around $400 and I'm hoping my parents are still going to pay for it when the bill comes in (I'll have to pay for brakes, but that's nothing. I have about $30 right now and if I were to charge this, it would totally max out my card.) I just filled my tank a couple days ago and I'll more than likely loose all that gas; well, there's $35 down the drain....

This whole situation has made me unbelievably irritable, moody, and I don't feel very well because of it. Oh well, maybe being locked in the house will give me a chance to get some sewing done, but I highly doubt it.

This totally sucks.

With gas prices all nice and expensive like they are, what's the one thing that could really hurt me right now? A leaky gas tank! Oh wait, that would be the newest problem with my car (SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I can barely afford gas as it is, I don't need it to be leaky out of the fucking tank. Oh, and my brakes are going as well.....Man, I just paid off my car too. Why did this all have to happen right now?

I HATE CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went out with Lucy and a couple people she knew to see PotC2 last night at midnight. It's been a while since I've been to a midnight showing, but it was fun and it was really nice hanging out with Miss Lucy again, especially since I haven't been able to afford going to faires like I normally can. Also nice wearing garb again, I miss wearing a million broadcloth skirts^^

The movie itself was better than I thought/heard. I won't say much, so not to spoil it for everyone that hasn't seen it, but my only gripe was the looooooong fight scene. We all know I have the attention of a gnat, so a fight that lasted about 30 min really caused me to loose interest. Some things were also extremely unbelievable and I think that took away from the movie.

Best part about last night-Lucy's "plot." Lucy made me a cake, but not just any cake. A cake shaped like a duck and painted like Morty!!!!! It's so frickin' kawaii!!!!!!! As soon as she posts her pictures, I'll be sure to snatch one and post it here^^

. . .

What could she possibly be talking about this time? Well, the kitchen in this lovely little house where I reside is still standing. Having said this statement, it can only mean one thing, Laura was cooking again. Even more, I was frying stuff with oil (oil fires are bitches to estinguish too!)

As of today, I know how to successfully make.......SHRIMP TEMPURA!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! Go me!

Here's another thing that everyone is doing and I hate being left out, so here's my card!!!! Look, it's a big picture of Honey-kun!!!! SQUEE!!!!!!
