bedtime nowwwwwwwww

I WANT TO DO THIS MEME.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.

h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
i. The last bad dream they had.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.

so I got the pieces cut out for my coat this weekend and I was worried I wouldn't have enough woven cloth but I did so yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh eat it Murphy's Law. Once I cut out the fusing for everything I'll be able to sew. And it's gonna be awesome.

Oh yeah yesterday Brian and I went to Goodwill and I got an A&F wool cardigan, some other acrylic/wool cardigan, a Mary Kate & Ashley shirt (DON'T JUDGE ME IT'S ADORABLE), and a genuine Fossil wallet for 16 dollars fuck yes I love thrift stores.

ALSO TODAY I started working on a picspam post for 9. It's going to be as hysterical as I can make it, gdit. THOUGH MOST OF IT MAKES FUN OF ITSELF oh 1.

hurr durr DREAM HIGHLIGHTS

Zombies in a school. an 8-story school. It was K-12, but idk if it actually was or just really big. I also think this was a lucid dream, because they started out as regular zombies, which I guess I decided was boring, because then Left 4 Dead zombies started showing up. And for some reason Touma and Accelerator were there. A Smoker got Touma but Accelerator used his powers to make the thing choke on his tongue. Pretty awesome.

THEN in an unrelated scene Touma and Accelerator were beating the shit out of each other, I guess Accelerator learned to streetfight. And Puck from Glee, of all things, was hanging out watching them. I think it was about to turn into a three-way brawl, but it didn't.

Oh and in the zombie attack there were a bunch of giant robot versions of DC/Marvel superheroes. one of them, idk which, got busted up by the zombies and had to be fixed.

I GUESS THIS IS TELLING ME TO DO MY CFUD APP hnngh I want to play that game so bad. but with a big group of people and not by myself.

Uhhhhhh, let's see. Weaving is on schedule, painfully behind on patternmaking and sewing projects, though, so I'm going to have to stay up late tonight working on patternmaking, probably. Nascar was nothing special, pretty cool, malemiko and her Repo shadowcast (Amber Does Dallas. you guys should check it out if you're in the DFW area even if you're not you should check it out) were goddamn awesome.

Will probably be perpetually tired all week. Looking forward to going home this weekend, though.

SO IS THE WORLD SERIES OVER? CAN WE FINALLY HAVE GLEE AND SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE BACK?


buhhhhh I have so much work to do between today and next Thursday kill me now <_>

Friday through Sunday is Nascar, and while Saturday isn't nearly as brutal as every other day (mmm delicious only 4 hours of work), Friday I'm working from 10-7. Ten am to 7 pm. The only good thing about that is not having to wake up absurdly early. Sunday I have Nascar, then an 8 hour total break before malemiko's Repo shadowcast performance. IT'S AT THE LAKEWOOD THEATRE AT 10 PM, ALL OF YOU GUYS IN THE DFW AREA AND EVEN SOME WHO AREN'T SHOULD GO SEE IT.

Working on a monster project for weaving, too, and I want to have the actual weaving portion of it completely done by next Thursday so I can dye it and take it home to wash it in a proper washing machine. I'll be sewing it into a garment, and I want it to behave as much like fabric as humanly possible. That means I need to have 3 yards of weaving done by then. Sometime this weekend I think I'll get the actual fabric for the thing (it's a coat), so maybe next weekend I can cut everything out. After that, it's just sewing everything together. And it's the same coat pattern I used for Bel and Squalo and Seras (and Alucard) so I can probably sew it in my sleep at this point. Hopefully it'll turn out super awesome, because it is a super awesome idea.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME I have to worry about the patternmaking and sewing projects due Wednesday and Thursday respectively. Patternmaking is especially bad, because this one is dealing with a fully sewn garment, facings and all. Up until now we hadn't bothered finishing everything on the muslins, but now we do. Then there's a lab due in Textiles on Thursday ughhhhhhhhhh it never ends.

I've had to scrap the MODA fashion show. I just have no time to do anything extra. I'll finish everything on my own time, and enter it in another show. Maybe.


WHY HAVE MY ENTRIES BECOME SO BIG WAHHHH STOP TALKING ABOUT RL HOOZ.

For some reason my journal header only shows up on my friends list page sometimes. This is very weird for me.

SO HALLOWEEN ROCKED I sat around all day and watched old scary movies... and House on Haunted Hill. Then I dressed up like a gypsy and got to parade around the square with Ashley. We got drunk and ate dinner and went back to her apartment to watch the Twilight Rifftrax. Now I'm vaguely tired and a little hung-over.

AND NOW IT'S NOVEMBERRRR lots of things are happening in November. I'm working Nascar next weekend for all three days (Friday is going to be a nightmare, I'm going to be there from 10 until 7 OTL). And in the middle of the month is MODA's fashion show. Progress is coming along very slowly, I really need to get my ass moving on the jacket and the jeans. I haven't even started the jeans.

Then there's everyone talking about Nanowrimo... I might begin writing again. I've been thinking about picking up this one vampire story I'd (started) writing in high school. It was set in Romania and was more traditional. Well, kind of. I did a hell of a lot of research on it, that I remember. I think I'd like to start writing again (if only to give myself some practice as well as something to do on road/plane trips without internet)



sob brain is dead whatever happened to updating more and avoiding tl'dr entries? :(

This is how I feel right now.



I'm working on another big project in patternmaking and everything is going wrong. It's getting to the point where I'm so scatterbrained I don't even know if what I'm doing is right or not. You'd think that'd be a sign to step back and focus on something else, but it's due Monday. And I want to go home this weekend to do laundry, so I want to have this done by Friday so I don't have to worry about it as much. Or at all.

But everything keeps going wrong. I'm screwing up on the contour lines and shaping the garment and in class I kept being asked by other students what to do. That just added to the stress- I barely knew how to help myself along, never mind anybody else. Add to that working with like, five people at one table, albeit a rather big one, and there's clutter everywhere and everyone's shit blends into everyone else's shit and I just can't work like that. Especially if I'm already feeling stressed. It just snowballs and I end up wanting to do something very violent. Not necessarily harmful-violent (though the thought did cross my mind), but something that will just get all of this out so I can go on with my life.

I still have to study for my Textiles test tomorrow, and do French homework, too. After MEK tomorrow I think I'm going to hunker down and work on the patternmaking project until it gets done. Friday is when the sewing will get done, because Friday night is Capture the Flag with MEK, and Saturday morning I'm going home. That's the plan, at least. I'm so scared that this won't be enough, even though I'm trying as hard as I can. Because I don't think I know how to do anything else.

fml college I don't remember it being this bad last year.

I HAD THE WEIRDEST DREAM LAST NIGHT. And I've gotten bad at remembering weird dreams, something I used to pride myself on, so maybe if I write down what I DO remember I'll get better.

* I was working on a design for Sailor Senshi who were going to be to Galaxia what Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter are to Sailor Moon. Which I know technically might have been the Animamates or w/e but this was something entirely different and unrelated. This was an underlying theme throughout the dream because at several points I remember being like "GODDAMNIT JUST GIVE ME THE CROQUIS I WANT AND LET ME DRAW THE SHOES"

* A bunch of other shit happened that I barely remember including a flood/water washing away a fake city that had a bunch of witches in it, because everyone had found out and were confronting them all like "OMG DO STUFF FOR USSSSSS". Then they started killing a bunch of motherfuckers trying to get away on a ship. They'd been kidnapped or something, the people, and there were a bunch of celebrities like Carrie Underwood and Alicia Keys because they'd had ~*~plans~*~ or something to steal their bodies and talents and take over the world idek

* Suddenly I was Belphegor, and Squalo, I, and either Levi or Xanxus IDR were killing said motherfuckers and the ship was sinking. Well, Squalo and whoever else it was were. I was laughing like a motherfucker. And even they weren't really doing anything iirc Squalo'd just sent out a couple of fucking huge, fucking crazy sharks to eat people and do violent things.

* And at the very end this bitch was being a bitch to me and I was being a bitch back because I'd wanted to toy with her and be a bitch back before I killed her BUT THEN it was time to go look at presentations for my Fashion Design class- or SOME class, but Cesar was there so idk it might have been mine. The theme was the 1940's only twisted in that you could pretend it was coming out in whatever time period you want. Like. Someone did how the 1960's would have portrayed/drawn inspiration from the 1940's... Which is actually a pretty damn clever idea, now that I think about it.

There was some other part involving what my brain told me was the Percy Jackson books/universe, but I know it wasn't even though I know nothing about them, and even then I know it wouldn't involve a FINAL BOSS and the weakest little sidekick animals- who happened to be mine for some reason- swarming around and simultaneously going from maggots to cocoons to the prettiest and most adorable tiny moths I've ever seen. The Greek Gods were only somewhat relevant. I think a muse or two was mentioned a few times.

hnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh I don't even know I'm half awake as it is.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. We FINALLY get to do actual design-related things in Patternmaking this week, it's very exciting. I need to find time to go to all those fabric warehouses in Dallas... Maybe Sunday on my way back to school. But more likely Monday after class is over. I'd really like to go mostly because I've never been, but also because there's a bigger variety than Joann's or Hancock.

and hngh I don't know I've been feeling a edgy all day. I skipped French to take a long nap and feel better, and it kind of worked. I feel like I'm walking around going "o___o" I hope this passes soon.

Going home this weekend I'm going to get to play more Metroid Prime 3 yaaaaaaaaaaaay

Blahhhh I suppose I should update.

FINALLY got a chance to come home this weekend. It was nice to take a break from schoolwork (save reading my Textiles book) and just chill ouuut. Well, until we watched X-Men Origins last night. WHAT THE SHIT WAS THAT MARVEL I AM DISAPPOINT. I mean, I was never a big Wolverine fan anyway, but still. I didn't enjoy it and I spent the rest of the evening watching 9 and putting myself in a better mood.

SPEAKING OF I think last night I realized I'm going to end up treating 1 the same way I treat Ozymandias. Which is to rip on him mercilessly, but do it out of love :( They're both such magnificent bastards, it's like they're asking for it. *also waves to the people from the 9_movie friending meme ♥ welcomeee etc etc*

SPEAKING OF 9 I found a delicious thing on the official website, played with it a whole bunch, and now have easy access to complete references for 3 and 4. BADASS COSPLAY FOR ALL-CON HERE I COMEEEEEE.

Friday malemiko and her parents and I went to the Greek Food Festival. Which was shittons of fun. We ate lots of delicious food and I got these badass pair of poofy red cotton pants. And yes, I have plans to wear them every chance I get 8)

Next Friday I'm going to go look for fabric for my designs for MODA's show. The pants + jacket combo won by an overwhelming amount, so I guess I'll be going with that, LOL. Though a quick search through Joann's told me there was little in the way of striped fabric like that. Which is fine, I just made a change to include a plaid pattern. I love Photoshop. But I still think I like the stripes better... Oh, well, we'll just have to see what I can find :(

and I dropped from bnf_brawl Thursday. THREE YEAAAAAAAAAARS and somehow my life doesn't seem that empty.

I have until early evening to do exactly nothing. Maybe read a chapter in my Textiles book. THEN I THINK I WANT TO PLAY SOME VIDEO GAMES.

K guys I need your help.

I talked a bit about MODA's November fashion contest in my last entry, and how I was working on an idea... Turns out I came up with two, and I'm having a tricky time choosing between them. Both are going to be... I don't want to say "fairly easy", but easy enough. It's a matter of which is more appealing, since the contest will be judged on quality and creativity. THIS IS WHERE I NEED YOU GUYS. Polls are fun, right?

( Both designs are under here. )

Poll #1460188
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 13

Which should I do?

Help me decide? :) Ultimately it'll depend on how easy it is to find all the fabric I need- finding striped fabric is unreasonably hard, never mind that specific color combination. I MIGHT do both, it depends on how much money/free time I have closer to the contest. I'm about to do something that'll probably free up a lot more time, but I doubt it'll be enough.

Thank you ♥ Any help/critique is also welcome. This is for improvement, after all.

Last night was MEK's PAC night, which was a bunch of fun. Nako and I made fucking amazing miso that everybody loved, and I spent most of the night getting my ass kicked at Smash Bros. Brawl. It breaks my heart to say this, but I think I'm getting better at playing Ganondorf than Samus ;_;. I placed not last more when I played as him. Of course, having not played any Smash Brothers game in ages didn't help. ANYWAYS we met this awesome girl there and she came back to the dorm with us and we all watched Repo and it was bunches of fun :3

I spent most of yesterday and today in Scoular, and Friday in Bain, so now I'm almost caught up in all my classes yaaaaaaay. All I have left to do is French homework \o\

Last weekend nakotaco and kyatto and I went and saw 9 holy shit you guys it's such an awesome movie. I bawled like a bitch. And now Nako and I have a shiny new fandom and I have shiny new icons and it's awesome and we want to cosplay 3 and 4 for next year and we'll be totally amazing.

AND UHHHHHHH well probably once I finish writing this post up I'm gonna go over to Bain Hall and get caught up on all of my weaving that I have to finish. And then the rest of the weekend needs to be spent on Patternmaking and Industrial Sewing stuffs. I've also got shit to get done for Textiles and French, but that might have to wait until late Sunday/Monday, because tomorrow night is ALSO MEK's Pan-Asian Cuisine night, which I'm looking forward to.

Sometime soon I need to finalize a design for the fashion show/contest MODA (UNT's fashion club) is having in November- it's far away, but if I get the design ready now I can have all next month to work on it. Hnnnnnnngh.

School is kicking my ass. I mean, I expected it to be hard, but goddamn. On average I've had to go work on sewing/draping/weaving stuff twice a week outside of the normal classtime. And
each of those times takes more than a couple hours. It's not that it's hard stuff, it's just that there's a lot to get done, and because I'm turning into a perfectionist, I do almost everything a couple times over. Except with weaving, because taking out wefts over and over would make me want to kill myself. There I just fret over it.

The 8 am classes are kind of brutal, too. At least the waking up at 6 in the morning part.

I'll make posts with Afest pictures before the month is out I promise ;A;

ALSO Numi is trying to get me to app Touma at CFUD she's a meanie I hate her :( E-even though I think it'll be fun to play someone who's normal and. Not Bel. LOL

hnnnngh I feel so scatterbrained. I've felt like this kind of since school started. At the very least since AnimeFest.

A-fest? Was awesome.

But the picspam is going to have to wait until later I have so much shit to get done today for school bawwww.

I gotta work on malemiko's cosplay pants in a minute, but I just ate a shitton of pizza rolls so I feel really full :( I'm going to update about school to occupy myself until my stomach settles \o\

So 8 am classes Monday-Thursday, and I go straight from 8-2 on Monday and Wednesday. BUT they're all really awesome classes. Weaving is going to be really laid back and a lot of fun.

But. Fashion Design I and Industrial Sewing I. oooooooooomg these classes ♥♥♥♥♥ Part of me is excited because I feel like they'll be super easy. But they'll also teach me how to do shit properly. And because of how the sections were divided up, I have the same group of people for both those classes. Which is kind of a relief, because that means we're gonna get to know each other a lot quicker... Also get sick of each other quicker.

French is... surprisingly normal. But we have an amazing teacher. He's from France, so he has the accent, and omg. He's really quite pretty C:

The only one that might be boring is textiles. Fortunately I can take notes on my laptop, so it has the potential to not be boring. Also, I can count the number of guys in that class probably on one hand. I definitely can in my Fashion classes, as there are only two boys. And my weaving class is entirely girls. LOL.

This is going to be an awesome semester. I can feel it.

AND ANIMEFEST IS IN FOUR DAYS AHHHHHH. Really, we need to have everything ready by Thursday, because we're going back to Nako's house after our classes are done. I have almost everything done, I just need to find a small punk-looking wallet to carry around my important stuff in costume. And some kind of bag I can have with me while I'm Accelerator.

god this is so rambly. :(

lmfao why is today 6927 day guys. You're doing it wrong.


First day of school rocked.

I haven't updated in so long goddddddddddddd where do I even begin.

I'm back in the dorms at UNT now with malemiko and we have pretty much the most tricked-out room on campus.

And most of this week we've been getting stuff for the dorm. Yesterday was pretty much an all-cosplay day. I started and (almost) finished work on

( A surprise to those who don't know )

I need to jump back into RPing, I've been so busy with everything else my muses are kind of hiding right now. Gonna post today, I think. Because SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW 8 O'CLOCK CLASS INTRO TO INDUSTRIAL SEWING I'M GOING TO BE A FASHION STUDENT AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN poisontea and I start talking about Reborn. At this point, I'm starting to think it would just be better if the fans wrote the canon. Because at least we know how to make it cracky.

MASSIVE TL;DR AND RETARDATION UNDER THE CUT.

( 'WE CAN'T TELL HIM TO SHUT HIS WHORE MOUTH' )
