Woohoo! All these cosplays are finalized now! We(me, vivi and gigi!) will definetly be doing these cosplays for AX~

- Kaichou wa Maid-sama, me as Misa-chan in her maid costume, and with [info]tokiyoh as Usui~<3
- Code Geass, me as C.C. in her R2 outfit, and Vivi as Euphie
- Vocaloid, me as Miku, vivi as Rin

That's it for now, still lotsa costumes to get ready! Anyone else might be doing these? XD Or even going to AX?

And I might throw in these for last minutes:
-Team Fortress, Scout, or engineer, super easy to make, heck, I don't think I'll even need to make em'!
-Maaaybe try disgaea again... Maaaaybe... Probably not.though

BTW! I'm attempting a gathering for gigi, with a Magical Girls Gathering, anyone else interested can check it out here! Still a fairly small group, but more cosplayers are welcome!

Cosplay Rant~<3

I've been flying down to Anime Expo every year, and this year is no different! I've been desciding and debating for so long about what to cosplay as for this year's Anime Expo. And I should get things started now. At least, I need to finalize it so I can get the wigs ordered in time. That's the only thing I can't do, wigs, for the life of me X_x It'll be a 4 day event, so want at least 4 cosplays ready in time! Here's a list!

Cosplays I'm definetly doing:
-Misa-chan in her maid outfit from "Kaichou wa Maid-sama"
I absolutely ADORE her maid outfit >_< It's adorable!
-C.C. in her R2 outfit from "Code Geass"
I've always wanted to do a CC, her outfits are so cool~<3 So I am defiently gunna go as her kickass R2 outfit this year.

Cosplays I'm still debating on
-Miku from "VOCALOID"
I'm waiting to see if Vivi or Gigi will join me, it's sad to be alone on this...
-Aegis or Mitsuru from "Persona 3"
I really love this game, but I dunno if I have time to do this one, she's too.... robotic...? O_o If I don't have time, I'll try either Mitsuru instead, she's easier. Well, I'm gunna attempt to make a Kurogane stuffie along with all this either way :D

Cosplays that I might throw in just for the heck of it:
-Flonne from "Disgaea"
Seems like there's a gathering for NIS this year! Sooooooo, maybe I'll join in as Flonne again this year. I dunno about Vivi and Gigi though. Gigi's Etna costume is defiently retiring though XD;;
- ANYONE from "Team Fortress 2"
That is, if it looks any good on a girl.... But I'm addicted to this game X_x
-Lia from "Le Chevalier D'Eon"
Costume's already fallen apart... and it was damn hot to wear.... But I still love this costume, so maybe...
-Hibari from "Katekyo Hitman Reborn"
I have the arm badge, and the uniform is easy as hell to find... The only problem is that there's gunna be a gazillion Hiabri's out there and that'd be lame...

Hopefuls, meaning... someday...:
-Gwendolyn from "Odin Sphere"
Even Velvet too, those are beautiful costumes, but the feathers will be hard to make, I have no skills with feathers at all...
-Hoihoi-san from "Hoihoi-san!"
I always wanted to do her, but the problem is that she would look lame without her huge weaponery, and I can't fit that in my limited suicase space X_x
-Valkyrie Profile
Armor is impossible for me at the moment... But this is always in my list of hopefuls.

----------------------------------------------------

Hahaha, in the end, this is more like a list for myself to keep track of things. But yeah, this should sum it up~Hope I get things done in time! X_x  Any Comments? Suggestions? Objections? Anyone else going to AX? We should totally meet up~ :D

Long time no post, will be long rant

Wow, it's been a while since I last posted here XD; I'm still at work right now, not much customers in, and I've already done everything needed for the day~ So I descided to check things out here~ Hehehe, Also watching (semi-)enchanted at the store(for the 7th time!), God I love that movie, always makes me soooo happy~ And productive too XD *Happy working song~<3*

Though I was a bit angry earlier today, because of stupid customers... I rarely ever get these type of cranky people In here, cause well, my part of town only get nice civilized almost country bumpkins~ Then this lady from another province (area code 203? or something? Where's that? Ontario?) comes in to pay her phone bill, so I have to pull her account out from the systems since she's not from our store. Then when I found her, I see 2 names with the same phone number(she provided), so I ask  if she was Dawn or Samantha, then she freaked out about why there was 2 names in the same account and started ranting to me, bitching, and kept on saying "This is unacceptable." So of course, I will try to let her understnad that this will not affect her phone bill as long as the billing account number(not phone number) is correct. Hell, who the heck would pay your phonebill anyways! But when I try to explain, she was all like "I don't want to hear it, I need an explaination, but this is unacceptable, just do it." ....What the fuck do she want from me!? So in my best behavior, I just went 'screw it' and set her up another account and took her bill, where she practically threw the money at me... Heck, she threw everything at me, WTF! PMS? And before she left, she was like "I'm sorry for blaiming you for this, but that's just me." FUCK YOU lady, FUCK YOU... But that was all said in my head, I can't believe I managed a smile in the end, I actually screamed out loud as soon as she left the store... No other customers were in there luckily, just my equally angered coworker. Well, it made me depressed... So I made myself watch enchanted again, and it made me happy~ :D This movie is like almost a cure for cancer! XD So now I'm back on track, ready to LEAVE work.....

--Happy thoughts, happy thoughts--

I can't wait to get home, cause recently, we've been so productive with akutenshi, that I actually enjoy working on it(Not that I never did, but more so now!)! The releases are much more often~ All thanx to my lovely staffs that help me out, I'm actually spending alotta time on it myself too! So yes, I certainly can't wait till I get home and go crazy again~ XD

Ew..... Just found a tuff of doggie hair randomly on my clothes... Yuki is sheding like hell!! I should take him to the groom and get him shaved again... :x

Update in A-T finally! Project statuses~

Wow, finally an update, with not so much releases... but they're still releases! I've said on the site update that I'm desperate for new recruits, so if you're interested, you can check out the following link for the statuses of our projects~<3 *pointy point*


Aside from that, let's talk about my life, my doujin shipment came, so I've been scanning like mad and totally obsessesed with Reborn as of late, and Sakura Addiction really added to my addictions X_x The companies sure know how to satisfy the fandoms, don't they~ XD *flaunts over Hibari & Mukuro<3* So now, I add another favorite pairing to my list, in total, it's 1827, D18, and 6927!<3

Did I also tell you that another obsession I have is with a video game? Well, the character to be more preciced. Altaire from Assassin's Creed! The game itself is still amazing, although the gameplay is fun but repetitive... But I'd rate it the best PS3 game that came out so far. The thing that sold me though, was how hot the main guy is... Man, under that hood is sexiness, well, it's the hood that made him even more sexy! >_<

Well, so I was sorting my song folder with the new downloads I've been piling up as of late, and came across this one called "top 101 anime songs rated by 2ch". I totally recognize most of the songs in it! But, I must say, the list is rather old and biased... You can so tell that pretty much the older ppl are voting(like 40yr. old men or something)since the songs are either ancient or MOE, but then again, 2chan is filled with those sort of ppl.... Hmmm, knowing most of the songs, does that mean I'm old too then...? :x

Remember Remember The 5th of November

Ahhh, just finished rewatching V for vendetta, although a bit late~ But I only had time until now~ I wonder if there's any parliement buildings bombed or what not :p Well, we did get bombarded with snow... It finally snowed and I am not liking it one bit u_u But most of it melted already, and they say we won't get anymore snow until december! Happy, I have no complaints, but... This isn't normal x_x

Anywho, I just made this HUUUUGE order of manga and doujinshi alike X_x I tend to always make these big orders once every 3 or 4 months, online orders, as I don't have any local stores in the city, rather sad. Shipping is expensive, so I usually make a batch of orders. My doujinshi pile is rather extensive~ I got Oufuri, Suikoden, Eyeshield, Maruma, Code Geass, Persona and alot of random goodies that I can't remember from the top of my head right now...... And of course, LOADS OF Reborn! With my favorite pairings HibaTsuna and DinoHiba~ XD Hehehe, this is all provoked by this wonderful formation that

[info]darkleha, [info]shiroroand I are forming~ We call ourselves, the Unholy Trinity Mafia! Mwahahaha!

 

Well, at least it's all in USD! I was so shocked to see it soooo cheap when converted back to Canadian! Usually, it's x1.3 for the currency, but now it's the other way around! Yay for Canadian economy! I was able to get a couple more djs cause of that XD But, in the end... Tsuba is broke *tear* But I shant regret... It's doujinshi! I haven't ordered doujinshi for like the longest time X_x (1 month...) Ahhhhhh!!! *scratches head* This is a really unhealthy addiction for my wallet u_u Worse is that I never sell them! It's like, a collection, you know? I like to keep them with me even when they're really old... If I even end up going to Japan doujinshi shopping, I think I'd go crazy... Literally!

Ehehe, enough of my fangirlness, gotta get back to work!

Halloween aftermath

Sheesh, 8 big boxes/bags of candy all gone! It started out slow, like, I didn't get any trick or treaters until 6pm. Then BAM! They just keep on coming! Non stop until I ran out of candy! I was trying to do stuff on the comp but the kids keep on calling, so eventually I gave up and just sat in front of the door cause it's just so tiresome walking back and forth to give out candy X_x As soon as I ran out of candy, I turned off my front lights outside so they wouldn get the hint, but these kids are like menace! They still ring the bell! So I turned off every other light and hid in the basement pretending no one's home... GO AWAY CRAZY SCARY DESPERATE KIDS! I HAVE NO CANDY LEFT!

There are so many trick or treaters that I couldn't even remember what their costumes looked like... Cept for this really cute 2 year old kid, dressed in a cow suit! I gave her more candy :3 Hahaha, I was in my PJ's and people thought I was in a costume.

All in all... WOW, this year was the buziest year I've ever had! Maybe it's cause there are no snow in the ground and it's not so cold as the previous years... Global warming is real >.>

Post Con Depression

Well, somehow people inspired me to write on my LJ again. Back then, LJ templates were so simple and ugly that it was unmotivating, but now that they seem to have upgraded it, it just sparks that motivating back on track to actually post on here! And facebook already bores me... can't seem to post entries as freely on there.

Anywho, yep, I'm suffering from post con depression right now, maybe my (well deserved)lack of sleep is part of the cause. But mostly, it's because I miss everybody already >_< I found this year's Yaoi-con funner than the last beacuse this year I had so much more people to meet~! It's just so sad that I will only be able to meet everyone again at AX next year... But in the mean time, keep in touch online everyone!

And all the lovely cosplay! I totally regret for not cosplaying Lia from Chevalier >_< There were so many D'Eon cosplayers! Well, not so much but more than AX! My Mikuru cosplay was so lame for Yaoi-con..... Maybe next year I'll be Lia again, but that's lame too, cause by then the anime will be too old *tear* But at least we took a gazillion pictures of all the other cosplayers~<3 Totally went crazy (not really) overboard with Reborn pictures~ It seems to be a larger Reborn gathering here than at AX. Very yaoi-a-ble I guess, hehehe~

I didn't really get to do much of the con events this year since I had so many friends to be with :D But aside from the DQ panel, and the crazy auction that was somewhat special, I did get to get Takanaga-sensei's autograph! She is totally my idol >___< Haha, she's not as poor looking as she depicted herself in her manga's, so humble~

I gotta thank all the wonderful people that bought stuff at the DQ vendor! We sold till only 1 box of product left! That's just awsome! XD And DQ'll be appearing in AX also! So I hope we can sell (almost) out there too! So exciting~ But... that's like next year~ next year~ net year....*echo echo echo* Back to depression again......

So in the mean time, it's the perfect mood to watch the new episode of Higurashi - Kai...

Hockey on Mother's Day

After doing nonstop site work for 4 hours, I feel that I couldn't do more, but am still very much awake at this time. And everybody's pretty much asleep or afk right now. So here I am writing yet another entry.

How was mother's day? I think it turned out to be the most unspecial one of all the years I've had. I slept in the "cook breakfast" for mom thing. When I woke up, mom took the car out to shop or casino with her friends. Then we all went for supper with grandma at this cheapass restaurant. I didn't buy any of them flowers. Man, I'm so glad they're not big in this whole mother's day thing or I'd be disowned by now u_u

Oh, well, today was hockey day too. I finally bought an oiler's flag(for a frigging 18 bucks cause wal-mart was soldout!) to put on my car(since everybody had one!) Not that I like hockey as a true canadian should be :x But my parents suddenly got into it this year that I couldn't help myself to join the hype. In fact, edmonton oilers is winning so why not? Edmonton hasn't won for like 7 years already, might as well cheer them on when they're actually winning this year.

It's crazy, on friday night's game, when edmonton won, everybody went crazy :x I was heading out to this bar for a friend's birthday(didn't expect it to be a game that night too), so the game was played on the radio, when edmonton was announced the winner, all the cars around me honked like crazy (I honked too XD;) I had to go through whyte ave(the street with all the bars) to get to my place, but the whole place was blocked with alot of cops and people crammed(more like a happy riot?) in the streets X_x I bet tonight's winning was even more crazier then this!

First Post!

After much debates that spanned through years, I've descided to try and do a livejournal, since it's so 'in' now a days~ I should make this as my diary or some sort, or just ramble on for no reason. Hmm... this place is quite useful for rambles...

What I'm doing right now? Multitasking. Chat, do homework, play suiko5, prepare for tomorrow's release update, and find a way to procastinate from all that and ended up here. Go me :3
