Haven't posted anything in a while, and since I don't have to work until two (instead of noon) today, I have time! Yay!

So, nothing much has been going on with me. At all. Which hasn't really been a bad thing. I've rather enjoyed not having anything particularly bad happen over the past few months. Heck, more good has happened than bad. Which is rather surprising, with the luck I have. XD I mean, we finally got a wireless router, so I can go online on my laptop. We got a new television -- widescreen, forty-something inches -- and updated what channels we get. So now we have like... FIFTY THOUSAND EDUCATIONAL SCIENCE HISTORY TRAVEL WHATEVER AMAZING CHANNELS. YAYYYY. That pleases me.

In the world of preparing for KumoriCon, I've almost finished my Kim Diehl (Soul Eater) costume. Hopefully that'll be completed today. (Make that tomorrow. I will be working until really late tonight.) And my Shaymin cosplay is also nearing completion. I paid for my Tokimeki uniform, so hopefully I'll have that for KumoriCon. I started work on embroidering the patch, though if it doesn't turn out okay I will probably just make an iron-on transfer until I get better at needlework.

Plushie-wise, I have three naked dudes sitting on the couch downstairs: Hojo, Richter Abend, and Axel. They will be clothed and ready for their new homes by KumoriCon. ^____^ I also have a Shea/Shiba in the works for myself, since I love that little guy. He's for me. <3 My next project will be a set of Tokimemogs2 chibis. All the guys. But I'm going to try and hold off on them until I finish Richter and Hojo.

Ah! I also decided that I'm going to apply for study abroad for my Junior year of college. Japan. Full year. I was contemplating studying in Athens instead, but I'd rather become skilled in one language before attempting yet another. I already know quite a bit of Japanese; why interrupt my studies for Greek? That'll come once I'm fluent in Neehowngoe. -shot-

So, that's about all I can think of mentioning. Geez, my life is boring right now. Haha. I'll probably be making a sales entry at some point, with the stuff that I don't sell for KumoriCon. Yup. So, that's about it. Farewell, invisible and nonexistant readers! XD

My new friends at PCC are starting to annoy me. They're all pretty awesome, but... I can't stand how racist they are. I mean, they're not outwardly I-hate-all-whatevers, but they keep making jokes about them. I don't like it. Race is not real. Period. People made it up so they can classify themselves into nice categories. So shut up. People have different skin color and traits because who they mate with is generally limited to people who are the same as them. That doesn't mean that the Japanese people MAGICALLY have an extra joint in their ankle that allows them to sit seiza easier. Seriously, wtf? I'm pretty sure that Japanese children complain about it just as much as Americans do. >.>

They also all tested into Math 20 to 60. I got into Math 130 or whatever without even trying since I suck at math and don't care. I couldn't help but feel a little arrogant when I heard them talking about that... -/horrible person-

Also, ran into Jeremy at school. I had no idea that he went there, so it made me all happy. And he went to the zoo today and I got to jabber with him whilst procrastinating. He went with a group from PCC that was going after I told him I was working there. ^____^ Yay!

Hrm. Nothing else to plop down here, I don't think. Been making quite a bit of money from work. ^_____^ I'll definitely have enough for Japan either this winter or next summer. I'm pretty pleased with that. -bounces about-

I seriously want to punt a kitten. Or something. But a kitten was the first thing that came to mind, so I'm gonna stick with that. Anyone have one to offer?

So I'm too lazy to type up too much regarding my SakuraCon experience. I will say that if scared me a bit, though. It was cool going to such a large convention and everything, but it was far too large for me. I like my little KumoriCon. I don't need people coming from halfway across the country to make my convention special and amazing.

That said, I am now freaking out about KumoriCon. I am so excited! I leave for school right after it's over, but I can still go! =D Yay! I've been pondering cosplay ideas... HERE IS MY MAYBE LIST.

Haku || Spirited Away (I'm definitely going to try this since I want to crossplay. XD)

Shaymin Gijinka || Pokemon (If I can find a relatively inexpensive long green wig I will do this, but otherwise... I dunno.)

Rio Takeuchi || Spiral (I love the character, but I want to be recognized by someone, so I don't know.)

Maha || .hack//SIGN (I have always loved Maha, but I don't know if I have the money or skill to pull off her head/mask/hat/ect.)

So yes. I plan to buy as much doujinshi as I can while there. (Nothing uber dirty, of course. I'm not into hardcore yaoi or romance of any sort. But after SakuraCon I just LOVE little comedy/drama doujin. <3) I only have two right now, but a third that I won on eBay for two dollars is on the way. ^_____^

I've been a lazy-face all day. I've basically browsed the interwebs, played Animal Crossing, and slept. Talked to Michelle for about five seconds in order to find out the name of an anime, and exchanged a few short words with my mom and brother but that's it. Normally I'd turn into a mopey pile of lonely with so little human contact, but that hasn't happened yet. It's sort of strange, but I'm not complaining.

So, yes. I really should start on my cosplay for SakuraCon pretty soon, huh? That was gonna happen today, but... heh heh. Ah, well.

So, life of Cat... not much going on. Saw Wicked last night, and it was pretty awesome. My mom bought tickets on a whim just a few days ago, so we didn't have very choice seats (second balcony near the top -- dead center, though) but it was still a lot of amazing shoved into a few hours.

Yah, not much else. I've been Morrowinding a lot. Killing, stealing, blackmailing people, and making deals with gods. The usual fun stuff. My character's getting pretty advanced, which is saying a lot for me. I'm the sort of person who always starts over after my current character reaches level five. XD Now I'm up to fifteen! WOOOOT. I'm on a roll? Maybe she'll even get to level TWENTY this time!

Yawwwwn. Yes, I did just feel the need to type out the yawn I just completed. It was necessary. Very necessary.

I wish life was like a video game. Not the save points and stuff, I'm fine with going through with one chance and all that stuff. But... video games are cool. There's all sorts of genres, but they're all more interesting than how life really is. Even those stupid pet simulation games. Hell, I would KILL to have immortal hamsters or dolphins flopping around in a gigantic pool in my backyard. In video games, even minor characters have a lot going for them. They're all helpful to some extent, even if their helpfulness is only saying "Welcome to Peoria!" for all eternity. It's not that I feel unhelpful or anything, but it would be nice to know my "purpose" -- or at least have an epic questline that will reveal my purpose. I know, we all live to die and have no purpose other than that, but I'm sure any of you actually reading this bit of ramblings get what I mean. Something to live for, something to protect, something to reach for. Anything, really. All I'm reaching for now is a part time job so I can go to Japan for a week or two. That's not exactly a long term goal. Ah, well.

So, with that pointless little goober done, I think I'll ramble on a bit more! Snap. My eye is twitching. I do hate that. Oh, good. It stopped.

You know what's really fun? Searching symptoms on Google. I swear, if your left pinky is tingling you are going to DIE. If you have a headache, guess what? You're also going to DIE. Slight pain in your side? DIE. So yes. Clearly the sharp stabbing pains I have been getting on the upper left side of my abdomen mean that I am going to die of an incurable disease or ailment. Clearly. I do wish I could actually find out what those pains are. They sort of leave me helpless whilst I cling to my side in agony, unable to breath until the stabbing decides to stop. Guess what my old doctor told me: it's nothing serious, and nothing to worry about. WHAT THE HELL. Some of the worst pain I can imagine, pain that has nearly caused a car crash, pain that doubles me over, pain that can strike up to twenty times a day, is nothing to worry about. Obviously I am faking it. Just like I was faking that cough for five years. Right. I hate doctors who don't take their patients seriously. x.x So yes. I do hope I remember to bring this up with my new doctor; perhaps she can actually tell me what's going on instead of just saying it's nothing. It's nothing incredibly serious, I will admit; I've had these pains for years and it hasn't killed me yet. But still -- advice or something might be nice.

Hm... what else can I bring up? Ah, yes. I cut my hair. It's all short now. ^____^ And all the blond is gone, finally gone! At last I have my natural hair back! That pleases me.

Well, I think I'm done for now.

YAY. Pointless ramblings complete! Arrow, out!

Look! I posted something! =D
Silly me. I really should take advantage of this places' ranting capabilities sometime. Well, I ranting back in the day.

So yes. This is me posting for the sake of posting, I do suppose. Yay!

PLUSHIES. I am making them. Yup. Crona right now. From Soul Eater. Because I can. Commissions would be a great idea. So then I can get some monies. Which I need for going to Japan. Which I will be doing. I NEEDS A JOB AND MONIES.

Why am I trying to think five minutes after waking up?
