The drive-in was fine, Littlenymph. Except for being insanely wet and cold and when your battery died I had a mental breakdown. ^^;; Me and dead batteries don’t mix, apparently.

So, in other news, I am insanely sick. Ill, darn you, not sick and twisted. -_-;; I ended up calling the Red Cross and telling them not to use the blood I donated, which makes me sad, ‘cuz I have a rare bloodtype. But what if someone with AIDS got my blood and it killed them because I didn’t mention that I got sick? Donating blood is a big responsibility. It’s a wonderful thing to do, but you’ve got to be careful of your own health.

So I find myself lusting after fluids, and Karie and Weasley brought me chicken soup yesterday, and I woke up at 5 am but then fell back asleep until 11. And I’m miserable and I want to read but I don’t have any good books that I haven’t already read. But! I have inspired interest in my friends about the Final Fantasy VII Audio Drama Project *pant pant* and I have, in fact, re-kindled my own interest in it. I’ll probably work on editing the script today. And casting the guys that have auditioned. ^^;; Sorry, guys! I just love listening to your voices, is all… XD

I want fruit juice, darn it. Maybe… Apple juice? Hmm, or punch. Not cranberry, though. And definately not orange juice. Bleh. I am so sick of orange juice. And I don’t really want concentrate… Man, am I picky. XD I just hope I’m well enough on Friday to go prom dress shopping. Booyaka! Anyone wanna go to prom with me? XD

Ooh, this looks like fun: Invent a memory of me and post it in the comments. It can be anything you want, so long as it’s something that’s never happened. Then, of course, post this to your journal and see what people would like to remember of you, only the universe failed to cooperate in making it happen so they had to make it up instead.
(more…)

Umi da! Umi da yo! Wai! Wai! ^.^

I hope no one backs out of our ocean date. Sure, it’s a little cool, but who cares? It’s the ocean! They have DDR! And tide pools! And since it’s not outright lovely, fewer people will be there! And I think I have a fever!

*insert whining about being sick here*

But really, I brought along plenty of ibuprofen (sp?), so if I take that nice and regular I should be fine. Well, if my sinuses weren’t staging their own personal revolution.

Anyway. Renee and I were cooing over D.N.Angel, and if we ever do cosplay for that series she called Daisuke and I called Krad. Mmmm, Krad. Lovely lovely Krad. He has such lovely outfits! All white and fwoosh and… yeah. And Renee has a wicked nice manual camera, so once she learns how to use it we have an awesome camera for photo shoots! Tree-san and the beach, here we come! XD

And Karie dear, don’t worry about getting me sick, if it was even you. Just be glad it hit hard over vacation. (I always get sick over vacation, anyway. I think it has to do with my body suddenly going, “Ahh, I don’t have to work anymore!”)

*shiver* Man, I might need to bring a jacket to the beach. I hope I don’t give this to Renee. She’s so sweet to let me stay over. See, if I hadn’t slept over, I’d have been stuck alone with my brother. *shudder* I wouldn’t have been able to sleep. No one would have been able to hear me scream…

Yes, I am deathly afraid of him and I hate him. One would think you’d have noticed by now.

Beach! XD

Blarg. I thought I just had allergies, but it really seems like an actual illness, so I’m gonna have to call the Red Cross and tell them not to use the blood I donated the day before yesterday. Sigh. And after all that havoc with my roly poly veins… Rar. Frustration.

But I am vaguely happy (as much as one can be happy when hopped up on allergy meds and the like) because I’m at Renee’s and we’re working on Muraki’s suit. I might even have it done in time for Tree-san’s bloom. Squee! Muraki beneath the sakura… So pretty…

Yanno, whenever I get sick enough that my head gets all swimmy and bleh, I have this urge to write. ^^;; Last time, it was a giant Gundam Wing fic. Save us all.

It seems that Kuronekosama has been born.

Wow. Only an hour later, I finally fix Renee’s computer, Rociel. Pretty much anything you can think of that can go wrong with a computer was wrong. XD Well, anything that the Internet can make wrong. Basically, I would have said, “wipe it and re-install Windows, chicka”, but her dad just recently did that, so… yeah. But I fixed it! I am, in fact, blogging from her computer RIGHT NOW! You have no idea how cool this is. XD

This is proof that everyone should have a firewall. And virus protection. And clean and update their computer regularly. Your computer cannot take care of itself, people. It’s like a pet. You must feed it.

Renee tells me I have repaid my life debt from when she brought me to the Barnum and Bailey circus for free. I am pleased. ^_____^

I had a sudden realization that cosplaying as an extremely popular series when one knows nothing about said series and said series has extremely rabid fangirls is a bad idea. So, I vetoed the Angel Sanctuary idea, and latched onto Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy. The current understanding is that Kayla will be Leon, Tsuzuki will be Cloud, and I’ll be Sephiroth.

Yes. Me. Sephiroth. Yes, I’ve been squealing nonstop. XD

I’ve decided to be ambitious and make working wings, preferably with electronics so that I can control it. I may have to buy a K’nex set or something for the motor. I’ll post my sketches later and ask for ideas on how to make it work. Dude, this is gonna be so cool. XD I’m gonna be Sephiroth! Aaaaah! XD XD I’m not looking forward to the wig, though. I’ll probably buy a high-quality one after the Souryuu mess. ^^;; That wig hated me. I’ll need a wig brush, wig conditioner, a wig stand, various kinds of bobby pins, a wig cap… Hey, I can get all of those at Rite-Aid and the wig store. Sweet.

Dude. Sephiroth. DUDE. Man, am I ambitious or what? XD I want it to be the best Sephiroth costume EVAR. Dude, it’s gonna be so sweet…

So, uh, yeah. Geo? We need must squee together. Sephiroth, dude. Sephiroth. YES.

Geo: *huggles* I miss you! I don’t talk to you nearly enough, melamin. But I’m working on cleaning my room, so soon I should be off restrictions and I’ll be able to talk lots! Or, yanno, I could call you. XD But I need to clean my room anyway, so… yeah. We can bitch and paint our nails or something. XD

Karie: Ooh, bring her over! It’s perfect weather for washing cars and I LOVE washing cars. Hee. I should start a car-washing service for people’s parents and charge actual money. Rar. It’d all go straight to Otakon, cuz I just realized that I need about $25 worth of buttons and $20 worth of special-order makeup. Heh. ^^;;

Stephie: But fighting games are so amusing! …Well, for me. I button mash, so when I do a special combo it’s a huge surprise.
Me: Argh! Fight! No, no, the other way! AH! He flipped over and shot a fireball out his butt! Cool!

*ahem* That said, I seem to have started writing again. I’ve apparently got a whole series of drabbles going about Sephiroth. Yeah, I’m a fangirl. XD But see, it’s not Sephiroth like people normally write him. It’s Sephiroth as a human, not as a Jenova-controlled Mako experiment gone psycho, nor as a clone-that-isn’t gone psycho, nor as a god-type gone psycho. Yes, we know he went psycho. There’s more to him than that.
The interesting thing is keeping him in character while writing these. Whoa, hey, I just realized that in all my drabbles, he never says a word. Dude. That’s deep, yo. XD No, really, it’s almost completely from Zax’s point of view. I really like the one I let Geo read that involves deep metaphors and too much attention on the patterns frost makes on glass around a hand. Yeah. Um. I write artsy, apparently. ^^;; I’m starting to dislike my writing style. It’s too flowery and gimmicky. I might try to develop a new one.

I’m having to re-write this entire entry because the original dealt with disturbing subjects that are mostly speculation on my part. I’d rather talk about flowers, cars, and cosplay, thank you very much. But at some point I’m going to get together with Duo and have another heart-to-heart with her, because we’re getting some serious bonding in. Yo. Foo’. And stuff.

Karie: Akito likes his flowers. They match his robe. And they’re plastic. Hee hee. And Noriko is so pretty and happy! XD We should throw her a party.

Geo: I think I’m going to clean my room enough to have floorspace and then work on Muraki’s suit. I’ve yet to cut anything, still, or even to look at it since I got yelled at about working on it where I shouldn’t. Naruto cosplay sounds awesome, though! I don’t now enough about that series. I mean, it has swordage. It has to be good. XD I wanna see Kill Bill for the same reason. SWORDAGE. Gah. Thinking of swordage makes me think of FF7:AC. Lurve. Have you heard anything new about that? I hear there’s a new trailer with more Vincent in it.

Steph: …It isn’t? ^^;; Shows how much I know. Heh heh. Still, fighting games have cool clothes. Like, Ehrgeiz has Sephiroth! And Vincent in his Turk outfit! XD And Zax, yo! Liek, omglolsquee!!!1!!one!

P.S. My two best friends have turned into bitches and are conspiring against me. ARGH. I’m really considering removing myself from the Posse. I honestly like all of two people in it, and most of the others annoy me to various extents. Outside of the Posse, I like the Stephs. Outstate, I like the boys. ARGH.

Geo, I will most certainly beat FFVII when it’s re-released. I would have beaten it already, but I only have the computer version now, and it won’t play right anymore. ;_; Darn Div-X.

Yes, Stephy, I was thinking of Soul Caliber 2. XD Although I’ve seen some Persona cosplayers, and they were teh kewl. But dude, Kilik’s vest? DUDE. Yes. Must research costumes. XD

I feel lost now that I’m done with Defiance. Sigh. At least Karie has her car back, yes? And I’m seriously beginning my job search, and I plan on pestering Dad into paying for my driver’s ed, and then I will buy a shitbox and be able to transport myself to a better job. Yay! So the first step is getting hired around home. I kinda wish I had a bike. That would widen my circle of possibilities. Ah well, I’ll make do with what I have.

Cosplay, cosplay, tra la la! XD I can’t wait for my hair to grow out a bit more. Then a trim in the back and some bleach and voila! Muraki desu~! XD And, yanno, I need to finish the suit. Hee hee. ^^;;

Yay! I finally beat a video game! XD

Yes, in my 18 years of life, I have beaten one video game. I know. It’s very sad. And, as the ultimate indication of my propensity to jump into the middle of things, it was Legacy of Kain: Defiance. Mmmmm. Raziel is so hot. XD

In other news, the boots are done, I have been thanked, and a really gay guy at the con asked Shuichi where she got her boots. She was also known throughout the con as “the sexy Shuichi”. Hee hee! I am pleased. ^.^ The sleepover was fun, I finally saw Finding Nemo and X2, and I’m still in a great deal of pain. Karienta has her car back, I’m about to start looking for a job and apartment, and I’m trying to organize next year’s con schedule so that I’m less confused. My person plans are as follows:

Otakon 2004: Check! Cosplay as Muraki. Assembly required.
Kamecon 2005: Why not? Cosplay as Otaku Hunter. Costume complete!
Anime Boston 2005: I think I’m ready again. Cosplay as Rociel. Mm, pleather.
Otakon 2005: Hell yeah! Cosplay as Raziel. Booyeah.

At Anime Boston I’ll be part of an Angel Sanctuary group, which I find amusing because none of us really know too much about Angel Sanctuary. Maybe I can get them to switch to a different thing, like a fighting game. They’re also doing Fruits Basket, though. We’ll see. ^_^

And that is the news for today! Yaaaay! Kero-chan CHEEECK! *poroing!*
