Well, I did that anime style portrait thing and decided to make it an icon. Yeah, I follow the herd. *g* Which in this case is okay, since I actually kind of look like that.
Well I start my GED classes July 6th. So excited! And nervous, of course. But that can only be expected. Oh, and I might be working at Petro as a dishwasher. So...if I work the same days as I go to school (Monday-Thursday) my schedule those days will be getting up at seven. Getting to school at eight. Get out of school at two, get to work at four and stay until...eleven. Twelve at the latest. So...yeah. I'll be a busy little girl. I want to buy a car, damnit! With the $350 I have at the bank, plus my first few paychecks I should be able to make a down payment. If the weekly payments are below...$100 I should be okay. *g* And if I do get that job, that means I'll have to quit at Paul's. ;_; Sure, it wasn't a very well paying job and I only worked on Wednesdays and I got payed under the table. It was a nice job and an easy one and I've been going there every Wednesday (barring the few sick days) for about four years. That's like whoa. An era. Or something. Kinda sad. But the money will more than make up for it. I guess.
Ahem. Anyway. The car. I want a gran dam (they're good on gas), but I'll get whatever's cheapest and runs well. *g* yes, I'm all about saving the money.
Crystal and Erik have broken up for good. I don't want to say why, sicne it's pretty bad, but let's just say Erik's been screwing up big time and this time...woooo, he fucked up bad. Hmmm...I weep. Really. *g*
Zoo Tycoon is too friggen' addictive. I mean, seriously. And I've just now realized that hey, this computer has a kick ass video card so I can play computer games! Not online games, since we still have dial up (DSL isn't available in our area; pity me). But computer games good. Goooooood.
Oh and I changed my password for that stupid sausage things, and now my account is fucking up. Damnit! It won't keep me logged in, even though I choose that option on the menu thing. *sigh* It's probably me screwing up, but still. Annoying.

Does anyone know if wearing makeup helps hide the fact that you're blushing? Because Wednesday at work, one of the regs came in and was teasing. I, naturally, blushed. I don't know why. I mean, I wasn't particularly embarrassed. I just...I dunno. I'm pretty perverse, and yet I still blush. I don't really get that. I guess it all depends on who I'm talking with. If it's someone I'm really familiar with, I'm fine. But someone I don't know very well, I blush. So annoying. Maybe I should just get a tan. Hmmm....
I'm going on a bit of a downloading frenzy. It all started when I was looking for the Lyrics for The Real Folk Blues the ending song for Cowboy Bebop. Well, I found a site that has some mp3s that I don't have, and would really like to. *g*
I might be getting a job at Petro as a dish washer. But not only a dish washer, I'd be sweeping/mopping floors and cleaning the bathroom. It's okay though. $7.00 an hour and no dealing with people. Works for me. And I think gettnig a job would start....well, getting things started. I'd probably feel guilty for making my parents/Crystal cart me around, so I'd finally get my driver's liscense. With the money from the job, I'd be able to save up and make the down payment on a car. I'd be able to save more money for AWA/Dragoncon and start saving money for school. I'd be able to drive myself to GED classes.
...
Now it's really going to suck if I don't get the damn job. *g*

Oh my fucking God. I'm posting in my DJ.
Well, it's been a while, hmm? Absolutely nothing particularly interesting has happened to me.
I saw the third Harry Potter movie, of course. Liked it well enough, though hwas slightly disappointed. If you've seen it, you'll know what I was disappointed about. Though most of the cast is getting prettier and prettier. Was annoyed with Hermione. They're turning her into a sue. I liked her well enough in the books, damnit!
Uhm....hmmm. I didn't give away spoilers, I don't think, so this isn't going under a cut.
Going to AWA and Dragoncno this year. I've already got the tickets and am planning costumes. Marron Glace (Sorcerer Hunters) and a Card girl (Miyuki-chan in Wonderland) are both definates. Oh, and Frodo (LotR).
Am going to start GED classes very soon, since I want to start school at Gainesville College this coming spring. That means I'll be moving out, which I'm slightly...leery at. In a good way. *g* Hopefully live at Campus-Pointe, which is near the college and is for college students (though it's not really affiliated with the college, and anybody can live there).
Blah, blah. My mom told me she was seriously thinking about saving up money and leaving my dad. Didn't really know what to say to that, so I told her I'd help any way that I could.
Oh, I've got a new computer. It's much, much better than the old one. I'd post the specs, but I don't feel like it. *g*
Well, that's it for me. See you in another year. *g* No, I'm going to try and update this one more.

5:17 pm - Who wants to hear about convention crap!
|
My price for the three conventions that I plan to go to next year is $319. Not including spending money, food, or plane tickets, just room rates and tickets. And now Crystal and I might be going to Otakon. but since they seem to have taken down all their links in preparation for next year, I don't know how much tickets or hotel reservations cost.
....
AHHH! I don't make that much money. I make very little money. I need to get a real job! I need to get people crap presents for Christmas! I need to take up thievery!
There's a chance that Malynn won't be going to Yaoicon. We haven't spoken for a while and she still doesn't have internet connection. Which means I'll be going alone. My first plane ride. Across America. And I'll be in a big-ass city (I've lived in the country my entire life). Alone. But! I've decided not to let my fear of being alone (and of planes) keep me from doing something that I really want to do. So, come...whenever next yaoicon is, I'll be getting my happy little ass on a plane and going.
The only problem with that spiffy plan is that I'll have to pay the room rate by myself. Is there anyone here who's going to yaoicon who wouldn't mind rooming with me and (maybe) a friend? I know Malynn pretty well; we've been talking for around 4 years, over webcams and crap. Just like in person. ;)
I don't know if we're going to Dragoncon...it seems like a horrible amount of money for it. Decisions, decisions. It all depends on what they're planning on doing next year; they should hurry up and update the site and let me know. ^_^
And actually, I'd like to go to Katsucon; it starts on February 13. My birthday. My 18th, to be in fact. It'd be like a kickass gift for myself. ;) But, eh. I'd kinda like to be to be home for that (though my mom's already told me she didn't care either way ;)) and well...I've already got four conventions lined up for next year!! *spazz*
EDIT: I'm so stupid. I only counted the hotels for one night, not the three that I'd need them for.
Am banging my head against the wall. repeatedly. With much force.
So it'll be $725, not $319, for the tickets/hotel rooms for next year. Geee, I like $319 better.

The little cat that I've been taking care of, that's been stayng on my room, is dying. She's on the front porch, just laying there. Limply. And occaisionally gasping for air. And I'm sittng here, bawling like a little baby. And it's weird. You'd think I'd be use to animals dying, considering just how many pets we've had. But God! Out of the four kittens that I had to take care of, she was the one that lasted the longest. When she was sleeping in my room, around 6 every morning, she'd start meowing. That would wake me up and I'd pick her up and put her in bed with me, usually laying on my chest.
And it's my fucking fault that she's dying. I'd gotten careless. I'd left outside the past couple of nights. But I'd go out to get her and she'd be cuddled up with the latest litter, sleeping with them. She looekd warm enough, so I left her with them.
I keep remembering just how strongly she fought to live: being blind, being extremely sickly. All that, gone. At least she's be with her brothers and sisters now, because I really don't think I can bring her back from this. I got her to down some milk, but it really doesn't look too good.
EIT: I just went out to check on her and she's dead. AndI can't even go mourn or anything because I'm baby-sitting, just like I'm ALWAYS fucking baby-sitting.

Is anyone else planning on playing Final Fantasy XI, even with it's frightening cost? I won't be able to get the PC version, since my computer doesn't have all the requirements, but I'm hoping to get the PS2 version that's coming out in February. It'll play online too, I'll just have to buy the HDD (Hard disk drive) for it. And there's a monthly fee of $13. So, for the game itself, the HDD, and the first month of play, it comes to around $150. No one really knows how much the HDD will be, since Sony hasn't announced it yet, but an analyst's prediction was the bundle and the game would be around $99. So yeah. It's probably worth it. ;) I'm probably going to make a beautiful elvaan boy thief or a kickass Mithra (which are only available as female). Can't decide yet, but I've got plenty of time.
NOTE: I should probably add that this is for the AMERICAN release of FFXI. And the U.S version includes the content from Rise of Ziraat expansion pack, which lets you explore four more advanced jobs: Summoner, Ninja, Samurai, and Dragon Knight. (info@EGM) w00t! ;)

Well, I've done it. I've created a NaNoWriMo slash community. Dedicated to slash in the novels, how lovely. ;) Now join, join! ;) I wasn't going to creat this, since things I make (rpgs, for example) tend to die a rather embarrassing death. But since this is a small thing, it's okay if it doesn't work. I mean, there are worse things to fail at, right? ^^;;
Oh, and I know some people who are a part of NaNoWriMo and don't have LJ accounts. I can give whoever wants one, though I'm running low on them, so it'll be a first e-mail, first serve basis. I'm just...really beginning to miss my friends on DJ, but I don't have time to post in both. ;_;

Alright, I know some people like to write origafics here, so is anyone planning on participating in NaNoWriMo this year? I'm all excited about it now; trying to figure on a story that will last 50,000 words and that I'd be able to write in one month. *g* Should be fun.
current mood:  curious

Some AWA pics...only three. Hey, this is tiring! :P Anyway, my Sumomo and Crystal's Chii are here. And Miranda's Sakura. Yay. :)
Crystal, Me and Miranda, Friday morning. ;)
Crystal and me goofing off at the CLAMP Ball. XD
Masami-chan, a friend of mine of LJ, and me. Our first meeting, yay!
We're planning costumes for next year. I'm definately going to try for Iria (from Iria-Zeiram the Animation). Yeah...armor. Weee. Well, sewing isn't a big specialty of mine; I'm a bit of a newbie. Making crap however, is more my style. Stephanie's planning on going next year, so Crystal and I thought it'd be a good idea of we all went as the Magic User's Club girls. Crystal'd go as Sae, I'd probably go as Nanaka so that'd leave Steph with the prettiest memeber, Akane. Are we thinking too far ahead? Nah. We finished these three costumes (Chii, Sumomo and Mei) in a month. One month. Well, Mom and I did, Crystal never has any time. Anyway, we wanted to go as some characters from Alichino (Crystal as Myoubi, me as Tsugiri and Steph as the nameless girl from the first volume) but those are some pretty damn intricate costumes and I don't think we have the skill nor the money (the only fabric they'd look really good in is velvet) to mess with those. Maybe in the future, when we're a little bit more experienced in sewing. XD

9:16 pm - Con report thing!
|
Ah, woohoo. A con report. I should have written this earlier when it was fresh in my memory, but eh. I'm not writing details. *g*
( Con report thingy )
Hehehe. My first con was fun. Can't wait until next year, thouhg I hope we plan it out better. This time was a bit disorganized. Well, until next time, kiddies. *g*

AWA was a blast! Con report and pics coming soon. And happy to see chuuu, masamichan. ;) It was so much fun wearing my costumes, and on Friday, when Crystal and I were Chii and Sumomo, we were stopped every five seconds to get pics taken. Especially in the dealer's room. It was flattering. *g*

My hair so short now! Since, when I sat down I was always sitting on it, it was time to get it cut. Well, that's my fake reason. My real reason is that it was too much to fit under my wigs properly, so *snip, snip* off it goes. Let's just keep that to ourselves, hmm. ;) But yeah, my head feels like it's going to float off my shoulders, which is actually a pretty nifty feeling.
I have a Harry/Ron fic in the works, for some unknown reason. Gah, I hate that pairing, but it's so damn easy to write! Oh, and I found out that I am indeed squickable. Hardcore torture and rape, with no light at the end of the tunnel, no chance for peace and happiness, freaks me out beyond belief. Hmmm...I suppose that's a good thing. I was beginning to sicken myself. XD I've also got a Snarry fic for maderr started, but that's not going so well; I've been very distracted. *g*
My little orange kitty died. It was my favorite, and I was it's mommy. I really don't know what happened, since it was in good health, the healthiest of the three. It ate well, was getting around. I thought it was in the clear, but I guess I was wrong. Ally (short for Halloween) and Olivia are doing well. I thought Ally was blind, since her eyes are so messed up. But this morning when I was putting her medicine on them, she closed the eye I was working on when the medicine tube got near it. I don't think I was touching a whisker, so maybe she'll be able to see all right. In any case, these two seem to be okay, but I'm not taking any chances and am putting Mom on the alert before I leave.
AWA starts tomorrow! I'm so excited! Miranda came over today; she had to use our iron for her mom's kimono. We talked for a good bit, and after she left, I ran for my list of what a need to pack. I'm getting up at 6 tomorrow to start getting ready. Gah, I haven't seen 6:00 in the morning since highschool. XD Whoa, I sounded old there, didn't I. In any case, 6 is eary, and I'm going to be dead on my feet. I might post again tonight sometime, but if I don't, I probably won't post again until next week sometime. With pics and a con report, of course. ;) But, hope to see masamichan and rkenshin there. I'll try and make it to the cosplay photo op on Saturday. But....oooh, so exciting. *g*
EDIT: Oooh, I forgot to mention! Last Tuesday, I knelt to my knees to do...something, I don't remember, and one of my leg bones popped right out of place. one of the calf bones in my left leg popped out of the joint in my knee. O.O I panicked, so I got up too quickly and jerked my leg around, slamming it back into place. And my God, did it HURT. So anyway, I can't bend my knee too much without it feeling like it's coming out of place again, and it feels really sore. And I helped Dad haul wood yesterday. I'm sure that was helpful. Oh, and for some reason my southern accent has been much stronger lately. Odd....

I just realized that I've been neglecting this journal. Bed me. So, this has bee ncopy and pasted from livejournal, woohoo. ;)
Oh my fucking god!!!oneone!11! I've just been through a serious time warp. One of my best friends from school came over. She just left. Amy Smith. She and I were..tight. Seriously, we were "The two Amys" and no, I didn't come up with that lame name. Anyway, she knocked on the door, and me, freaking out (since no one knocks on our door), opened it really quickly and stared. And then stared some more. I opened the screen door reeeaally slowly, and I must have looked shocked, because she had this grin on her face. We hugged, and squealed and did the regular girl things. Then we actually talked.
Her: I've got someone to see you! *starts draggin me to the car*
Me: Gee, that sounds ominous. Did you bring a hitman?
Her: *laughing*
So we get there, she opens the door, and leans in.
Her: It's a short person.
Me: A lepreucaun?
She pulls out a carseat, and there sits, asleep...the fattest child I've ever seen. Her name's Savannah, and she's two months old. And like most babies, she was sleeping with her tongue sticking out of her mouth. And despite me, and my aversion to kids, she was cute.
Anyway, the three of us go inside, and Amy and I talk for awhile. About what was going on in her life, what was going on in my life. About Teela and Blake and the old crowd at school. Seriously, everybody's gone to hell there. It's really terrible. But anyway....yeah. And you can tell my the way I'm talking that I've been talking to her, since my southern accent is think as everything. I mean, I know I have an accent, but Amy's accent is much thicker then mine, and when I talk to her, I start talking like her. But it's okay. I like having a southern accent. ;)
But wow. It was great seeing her. She said she was going to keep in touch now, which would be great. Yay. ^__^
And I just realized, reading this through, that I said 'old crowd.' How can a 17 year old have an old crowd? Easy. It was Amy, Teela, Blake, Justin, the OTHER Justin, Jamie, and me. We didn't fit in any of the stereotypes, so we made our own. And we were famous. Or rather, infamous. People knew who we were, and we were always with someone in the group. I was usually with either Amy and Teela, or Justin, Justin and Blake. It was really great, to be a part of that. I kinda miss it. Yeah, anyway, that's how I have an old crowd. ;)

Wooo, I'm in a Renaissance-y mood. I'm definately going to the festival...next year. It's already over for this year. *g* The main reason I'm going is that I get to make a costume, but the Renaissance was a spiffy time in history. All people could learn, not just the clergy. People were gravitating towards the arts and sciences. It was nifty. But I'm really going for the costume. *g* Since it's next year, April 17 thru June 6, I'll have money for it after AWA, and I'll still be able to save money for Yaoicon. The only bad thing is that I have three different costumes in mind, and I don't know which one's to go with. I sketched them down, but didn't scan them. And all three of them are...going to be difficult. But that's okay. I'm determined to make them.
...
Just be prepared for a lot of bitching in this space. *g*

I submitted my Snarry story Gratitude to Walking the Plank, after reading the submission guidelines where it said:
"Not all fics submitted will be accepted by the archive. We reserve the right to refuse submissons."
My fic was accepted! Yeah, no big deal right, but I'm giddy anyway! *g*

*laughs* Well, for Yaoicon next year, Malynn and I are not going as Nuriko and Hotohori, as we'd been planning. We both decided that those costumes are waaaaayyy to complicated for us newbies to make. We'll still be noobs then, too, since I won't be goingto another con between AWA and Yaoicon. So we them went through some couples. Marron and Gateau? Malynn said I'd make a good Marron, but she didn't think she'd be able to pull off Gateau. We came up with the perfect couple - Dee and Ryo from FAKE. XD My favorite couple EVER. These costumes will be very easy to make. The hardest thing will be the hair, since neither of us want to cut ours'.So more wings for me. She's going as Dee and I'll be Ryo. I'm going to be molested, yay! >D
Okay, so I'm going to buy my doll....soon. I dunno how soon. I have to buy the supplies first, since painting it will be complicated. Supply list:
Fine paint brushes (I have LOADS of these, but I don't know if they're small enough)
water based acrylic paints (I might be able to borrow this from Crystal...all depends on what brand she uses and what colors)
acrylic thinner (I definately want to use this instead of water XD)
acetone (simple...jsut buy nail polish remover. Revlon is recommended. XD)
milky white gel pen (I HATE gel pens, but I'll need it to mark up the face)
And then there are the things I already have, like a palette, mirror, water and the like. Mom wants me to paint her doll like Mei from My Neighbor Totoro which should be nice and hard. ^^;; The Doll and Hobby shop got in their new shipment, and a Ryo SD was in it, but since I don't have $5-something to spare, I guess I'll have to let him go and go ahead in buying my 1/6 scale dolls. *le sigh*
