    Old pics, part 1

    I’ve been uploading some old costume pics from my external hard drive, just as a back-up, mostly. Some of them I haven’t seen in YEARS. Heres a handful of ones I found funny or interesting; I’ll just post a few now and some more later. This one cracks me UP because Kevin is passed out asleep behind me. This was…

    AKon Panelist

    from mtac, from usagichan.com! hee I’m going to be on a cosplay panel at Akon… scary! :B Also maybe a wig care/styling panel (whoo!) Speaking of which, instead of studying for the two tests I have tomorrow or writing the 7 page essay that’s due on friday last night, I randomly got out that crimpy, wild wig I was going…

    when i ran errands in my selphie costume

    I’ve updated the daily sketch again! Hurrah! I forgot to mention that on Tuesday, I spent almost the entire day in my Selphie costume. I really don’t know why. I even went out and ran errands in it. It was fun. Oh! That reminds me. I’ve got the digital camera tonight, I borrowed it to take pics of the pink…

    when we did my first photoshoot

    Well, we got the pictures taken. Of course, a few things had to go wrong, like, oh, the rain. It cleared up after the 3rd costume, but my Quistis costume got rather damp. I couldn’t find my Selphie boots, pants, or blue armband anywhere, or my Beatrix pants. I could NOT figure out where they went. Then, finally, I remembered…

    when i worked on stuff

    *peeks in* Er, hi. Yeah, it was a busy weekend, ok? XD Friday, my parents & Ash’s parents were going on a field trip (our moms are teachers) and it was an overnight thing, so Ash and I stayed out at my house. We had a watergun fight, which I TOTALLY won, yay me! We rented The Waterboy, The Rainmaker,…

    when i sacrificed a tshirt

    I might get to dye my hair (or at least part of it) purple after the convention, before my Disneyworld trip! Ash, too. Purple’s my number 1 choice, with blue or utena pink in 2nd and 3rd. As of this morning my Selphie costume is finished… an old UofM Tigers basketball t-shirt sacrificed it’s sleeves for Selphie’s armband. No big…

    when we shopped

    Well, yesterday wasn’t bad. I went over and got Ash, then we went to office max and got some things, and then to the mall. I got a Monty Python and the Holy Grail card game! and a Patty O’Green (from rainbow brite!) shirt. Pretty cool. Then we went over to the anime store and I got an Evangelion CD…

    when i decided between backpacks

    The Mummy 2 last night was good. I’ll talk more about it later. Right now I”m at Ash’s house – my parents went to some kind of party, and I didn’t want to stay at the house alone, so we went to Old Gravy, the Toy store, IHOP for dinner and the mall. Now I’m back here. I was going…

    when i had to go to the dentist

    Well…. I had to go to the dentist today. Scary. Well, it wasn’t near as bad as I thought it was going to be… even though we hadn’t been there in a while (due to an insurance change) all the people there remembered me and couldn’t believe how old I’d gotten. I had a surprisingly good checkup – no problems,…

    when cat had an accident

    Oh, poor Cat. She had her first wreck. She bumped into the back of a lady. This woman RAGES out of her car… slams her door, comes storming over to Cath and starts SCREAMING at her. I wish I’d been there to tell that woman off. That’s some serious road rage, there. Lookie, lookie! Boots I bought! For my Selphie…

    when i typed a giant chunk of text

    I’ve been sooooo out of it lately. Wednesday: Went to the mall w/my dad (weird). He spent his EBX gift card on a joystick and FF7 for the comp (which cost $5!), and somehow the gift card ended up being for $50 instead of $30. We spent too much money at the music store, but the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack…

    when i was excited for con

    I’ve been looking thru Convention photos at a Fan’s View, and I just had to come over and say… GAAAAAAH I CAN’T WAIT FOR ANIMAZEMENT!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe *bounces around* This is going to be my first anime convention! I mean, I’ve been to the local comic convention, but that’s not the same. It’s really small. Not many people in costume either!…

    when I made a costume decision

    Ok, I’m doing Beatrix and Milly, but I need a 3rd. I ran through the choices… Sailormoon costume: Did one already, don’t really want to do another. Sailor Lead Crow might be fun, but a pain to make AND a pain to wear. Out. CardCaptor Sakura: I’m not cute enough to be Sakura. Plus I hate wearing dresses, especially feminine…
