Friday friday and what I day it was...This is going to be a long one... my morning started with me gulping down a bowl of rice and then booking it to Ishiko's house, because Beth was already there and I was late. The 'master plan' was to wear these really wonderful outfits that we designed and I made and go to the mall to look for tops to go with them. We didn't find anything. It was very boring. BUT we did dress "interestingly" (the way that I always dress in the winter, layers, layers, layers) and judging from the looks that we got...um...I don't know what that was judging, but it was REALLY funny. I've never seen Beth looking quite so cool. She did have to borrow most of the clothes from me, but it was still very cool. I don't know how to explain this "style"...mostly alot of layers and patterns and things don't always match well. "Dressing fun". So we were all bored and blahhhh by the time that we left, so we returned to Ishiko's, toned down the clothes and then returned to my house.
My sister and her kids were over and my nephew (he's 3) was SO SO impressed with Beth. So with the child clinging to me, I played the Malice Mizer video (live Gekka no Yayoukyoku, I think I spelt that right) that I am absolutely in love with and I wanted Ishiko and Beth to learn to do the dance that Mana and Gackt and Kozi do, so that we could all do it! So we spent A LONG time learning that dance and we haven't got it down yet and I hurt my foot on Ishiko's wood stove (we went back to her house again). Then I we decided to start calling Beth Kozi.(we went really crazy for no reason for like 20 minutes). So that's what we're calling her now. It was too obvious that I HAD to "be" Mana, since so many people asked me if I was at Shoujocon and Ishiko HAD to "be" Gackt because we already established our ability to do the "Mana/Gackt Dance" from the Madrigal live. But Ishiko also had to be Klaha when we began going crazy and "reinacted" the Beast of Blood video (don't ask, please, don't ask). Okay, that's enough of this. I had an interesting/crazy/funny day. Re-reading what I've written, I would say that this all makes me seem VERY crazy... I'm really not THAT bad. ^_^ PS "Klaha" doesn't like pizza and if "Mana" is lucky "he" will be working in the same pizza place as "Kozi" soon.

Ah, Radiohead... I went to a concert last night. It was really nice, and even Ishiko had a little fun. (I dragged her with me because no one else would come.) My parents came too (because they also like Radiohead and there was no way that I was going to drive into Boston) and having them there wasn't bad. It was more fun that Ishiko and I just being alone. We sat on a hill fairly far from the stage, but we were on top of the hill, so we had a really good view. A good view when there wasn't a stupid man with a red hat standing in front of us. Baka baka baka! We were standing there and there was no room to move and he just shoved his big fat body in front of us! I wanted to push him. I didn't. I should have. SO that was that and my mom bought me a shirt and I really REALLY wish that Beth had come because she would have had SO much fun! But she had to get her wisdom teeth pulled. *sigh* No matter what she thinks, she would have had a great time! I didn't think that I was going to care that much, but I HAD FUN. Oh right, Ishiko and I decided not to talk about how great the concert was or Beth might feel bad (she didn't even want me to buy her anything!). Too late. If she reads this the news is out. Bwahahahahaha. At the end of the concert we were all dead and my feet hurt from standing on the side of a hill and we all smelt like pot because ALL the people around us were smoking (full-four-side-coverage) and I generally felt REALLY nasty, but it was worth it.

I am in such a good mood today! I spent all day making plaid bloomers for these fabulous outfits that Ishiko and Beth and I are making for school. Usually we could care less about what we wear and I usually just throw on alot of mismatched clothing in the morning, because I'm too tired to care. BUT we wanted to have something fun for the first day of schoool because it is our senior year and we are crazy. So how to bloomers fit in? Um...they just do.
HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Gackt! Not Klaha! Ha ha ha ha ha! (That was just for Ishiko. She will understand it all too well! BWAhahaha!) Malice Mizer is my new "thing" and Gackt is hers, so we get to do rediculous dances and search for the proof of my theory together (which we did find, after a little work). We watched Trigun today. I was not as impressed as the first time that I watched it...

Whew! That was a long nap! But I'm up again. I took that personality disorder test that's been floating through the blogs. Was not suprised by the results...Results follow:

Tadaima!!! Well, I've been home since 4, but close enough. I went to NJ again Thursday. I was just there for the Shoujocon, but the wonderful thing that is Mitsuwa sucked my family back down that way again. Needless to say, I am poor. Ishiko took that news rather well, especially since she is the one who is making sure that I don't spend my money and save it for important things like cosplay and Okinawa. But I only made the best of investments, so it's okay. I didn't really spend my own money either. My parents are the best adults that I know (and I'm not just saying that because they bought me stuff). Most of my other friends say on many occasions that they hate their parents or something of the like, but mine are REALLY nice. They spoil me rotten too. Anyway, so my mommy bought me Angel Sanctuary 10 &12 from JBC, which closed up a tiny gap in my collection. I am seriously behind on AS. It's very sad, since I own so much other AS stuff that I own only 7 tankouban (1,6,8,10,11,12,13). Then we hopped over to the Kinokuniya where I was -planning- on getting 2 MPD Psycho, but I ended up with the July2001 Vicious (j-rock mag) because it had Rice on the cover (Rice being built of the vocalist and drummer of Raphael, my favorite band) and it would "be a sin for me not to own it", in my own words. I also got the August2001 Fool's Mate, though I can't remember what initially attracted me to it (beside the j-rock, of course), but there were Dir en Grey trading cards in it...I've been starved for j-rock things though, so missing out on some manga isn't going to be the death of me. Then I (along with financial help from my dad) bought a book called 'Fruits' which is just a bunch of pictures of people in Japan with these absolutely amazing clothes. Well, I think so. The clothing is just so wild and fun! I wanna dress like that! I'm halfway there the way I am now (on my good days), so it's not like it would be hard.
I think that I'm going to cut my hair this week (yes, I'm going to do it myself). I'm not afraid to look stupid while it grows out, because I can just wear it up anyway. I'm going to dye it red soon too ("when I am rich", as my famous quote goes). I'm not sure of the shade though. Eventually I will work my way to a Machi red, but I need to find a job and people around here are not going to hire me with hair like that. Ah, I've got to get up early in the morning....oyasumi nasaiiiiii

...Kimochi o namida ni kaite...Wow, I already posted today? Right. But that was over 12 hours ago! Why was I up so early? .... Anyway. I spent all day working on my Machi costume (Metamorphose), because it is my new official goal in life to dress like him. Um, not really. I was surprised that I got as much done as I did. Whoo hoo. Only that puffy "thing" that goes around the arms and the train and the rest of the sewing and it will be done! And I need to buy those lovely shoes with the massive heels. As long as I don't break my ankle, I'll be okay. I can walk in platforms of any size, but high heels really are different. REALLY. I probably could have gotten more done, but I was rewatching some of Cowboy Bebop at the same time. It wasn't as bad a distraction as watching the Raphael Graduation Special Live while sewing fur to an Emiru costume though. I stabbed myself so many times. All for the sake of cosplay...*sigh*
I wasn't going to blab about anime today, but I think that I just might. Need...more...Trigun... My dad bought the first DVD (after a rediculous amount of sighing and whining and prodding by me) and it's just not enough. I knew that I should have just grabbed the second volume also, but I needed to see the rest of Please Save My Earth more. All 6 episodes on one disc was too good of a deal to pass up, not to mention that it came out like 1000 years ago and I had only seen the first 2 episodes dubbed. Of course, I am officially the poorest person that I know (by my own doing, could be prevented) so the chances of me buying ANYTHING ever again are very slim.
The Problem: Yes, it's my usual problem! My inability to be a big girl and get a job. I HAD a job last year, but it was a 30 mile drive and I am not really interested in commuting so that I can sit for 8 hours, one day a week, in front of a shelf of Pocky, listening to J-rock. Actually, that doesn't sound that bad... It's not as though I'm not trying now. In the beginning of this year, I was not trying to find a job. Not even a little bit. But I've applied to 5 or 6 places in the last few weeks and sadly have not gotten hired (not that that is a great deal of places). It's a real American tragedy (whatever that is supposed to mean). So the search continues while Ishiko grinds her teeth and I wonder if I really am going to make it to Japan next summer. I think I need to try harder...I am probably going to have a mental/emotional break down if I do not get that money saved, so for the sake of my sanity. Kimochi waruiiiii...It's too hot today...

Oh, I forgot, sorry that everything looks a little crowded right now. I need to make some space so that the entries don't run into things. I need to seperate them better too. Feeling a bit...lazy right now though. Perhaps later today (since it's almost 1am, I might as well get some sleep first).

Ah, it's finally done, not that anyone is going to find it yet. I thought that I was never going to be happy with the damn thing. Originally it was going to be my Java experiment, because I still haven't learned Java, but it ended up in HTML. It came out slightly more...evil...than I wanted it, but it wasn't going to come out cute with that picture of Setsuna being the one that I wanted to use. I don't even like Setsuna a great deal, but that is a nice picture. It comes compliments of my Angel Box, which finally arrived in the mail last Friday, late but still very nice. It was worth the money and put another clock that I can not read in my room. Not to mention the wall space that the wall scroll covered. I was in dire need of something to cover the space where that stupid BSSM one used to be.
I am having something of a mental block right now, so I'm going to rant a while... Ishiko and I are completely revising the story of our manga-styled comic again. It hasn't happened in almost two years, but it just wasn't going anywhere the way it was. If I ever get the webpage for it up (kyaa! not another webpage to work on!) maybe people will have a better idea of what I'm talking about. Too lazy. There's alot of work to do with that. I think Ishiko is revamping the character design too. Anyway, Epica (the story) is currently about 4 people (which is less then half the cast) who are supposed to "save the world", just to use the cliche. It's very difficult to explain... oh well. I won't try. I'll probably be dropping bits and pieces of it here eventually. I haven't really been writing much though! I'm up to my neck in cosplay. I've only got one comission currently, but Lillie Charlotte (my cosplay group) has about 12 other costumes planned, prom dresses included. It's time consuming, but I love it.
I'm going to Mitsuwa on Thursday! Mitsuwa is a plaza with alot of nice Japanese stores in it, so I can stock up on my groceries (really don't have such good stores in NH or even in MA) and NOT spend my money at the Kinokuniya. Ishiko will kill me if I spend all my money. I'm supposed to be saving to spend next summer in Okinawa with my grandmother, but I'm not a good saver and I STILL don't have a job. I probably should stop this before it gets too long, but I do have a tendency to babble for long periods of time...

I am too lazy to find the rest of them. I noticed that I seldom return to a blog, so this is all I can scrape together for now.
