    when i dropped an ice block

    Couple of things today: *BAD weather last night – lots of hail and lightning and thunder like all night. I woke up this morning to find out a tornado hit Jackson where my grandparents live. My grandparents are OK but ALL of the windows on the back and left side of the house were broken (and that’s a lot of…

    when i went fansub crazy

    Today I have got to take care of a few things, replying to LJ replies and mail and that kind of stuff. I have a few errands to run. Y’know, whenever I’m at an anime convention, I always feel bad cause I’m just not INTO it. I mean, like, I hadn’t watched ANY anime in months before katsu. But afterwards…

    Leaving…

    I’m leaving for Katsucon! Let’s hope the rain here slacks up so I can take off, and the snow slacks up there on Sunday so I can come home. 😀 As usual I have no idea when I’ll be wearing what. I try to plan it out beforehand but it never works that way. Here are the costumes I’m taking……

    when i was a poster child

    Hee! Look at that goob who is the “poster child” for Harry Potter cosplay on cosplaylab. I cleaned my room last night. I started at like, 10:30 and stopped by 11:30 cause that’s when the Buffy episode I was watching ended. Ha. Then I went to bed cause I was all tired, but ended up sitting there watching the rest…

    when i planned cons

    Ash – I was looking at us going to Animazement again, but your graduation is right the same weekend. I’m going to Katsucon on friday morning. If you can get the day off, I need to know asap… if you can’t, don’t worry about it, I’m going to go by myself to mostly sell stuff. I would like you to…

    Best. Weekend. Ever.

    Ok, so I just got back from dragoncon (it’s 12:30 now, as soon as I finish writing this I’m going to BED.) While the entire weekend had more than it’s share of moments, I just had to post these as soon as I got home. Tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll write up a full report before I forget everything. Anyway… These particular…

    when anime expo was a reality

    After Animazement Ash and I started joking around about skipping all conventions next year and putting all our money towards going to Anime Expo (which is the big ole’ convention in California) I wasn’t serious about it – I mean, I’d LOVE to go, but I rather go to a handful of small conventions over the course of a few…

    Leaving for Animazement 2002

    Yep, tomorrow at this time I’ll be at Animazement 😀 I know this should go in my cosplay journal, but OH WELL! Xiaoyu… I’m pretty satisfied with Xiaoyu. I’ll probably wear it most of the day friday, with Ash in her 1P Xiaoyu costume. Speaking of which, I painted the design on the back of Ash’s Xiaoyu costume, and I’m…
