I am beyond pissed off. I let my brother use my Xbox 360. He changes my Gamertag and icon, so I don't have an account of my own anymore, even though he's created several others for his friends. (All of my achievements, data, friends and paid Platinum account wouldn't be accessible if I created a new account.) I never get to play because he hogs it and takes my games off the Gamefly list. It takes up permanent residence on his floor, amongst the grime and tangle of wires, with the Wii on top of it as if it were some kind of table. I live with it. But then he looses the adapters to one of my two Guitar Hero controllers. Then stuffs the other in his overflowing closet. After eventually digging that one out, I find the adapter is missing. Both of my controllers were unusable. We buy new adapters. I sit down to play and find that Guitar Hero II and III are not in their cases. I eventually find them. I put GH II in the 360, it won't read the disk. Take the disk out and discover that it's Guitar Hero II for the Playstation 2. Osiris says that one of his friends must have accidentally taken ours, but he doesn't know which one.
And on top of all that he wants to take it with him to New York for college. As you can tell I'm pretty fucking livid about the whole situation. And you know what he said to my mom? He said if all I wanted my 360 for was to play Guitar Hero, he'd buy it for me for PS2.
Woo, just need to get that off my chest. I suppose the whole thing could be sorted out if Osiris, mom and I sit down and talk this out. Still, I'm angry that he wants to bring the 360 along even after he purchased the PS3 not 5 days ago. What more do you want from me?! Ok, ranting over. I wish I had a more angry looking icon for this entry.
Also, I'm leaving for New York on Monday (the 29th) and returning on the 5th.
I have not posted in what seems like a decade. It feels good to be out of school fo' summer, but it sucks knowing I still have some responsibilities. In other more nerdy news, I'm making the Silent Hill Nurse dress out of latex. It is going to be awesome and I'm feeling damn good for thinking up a cool way to make it. I took my dress form and made a little sac dress out of a plastic garbage bag. I pinned the trash bag dress to the dress form to make it form fitting (that was a lot of word repeating). After that I covered it in tape to make it even more form fitting and prevent the bag from loosing it's shape. But my real triump is in how I used the tape. Weird sounding, I know. But I positioned all of the pieces of tape to that there would be no bunching. Basically everything is smooth. Anti climactic, but it was 2 am when I was doing it and it looked cool. Anyway, the first coat of liquid latex is dried and I'm excited that I'm making the dress using the same process that was used to make the costumes in the movie.
After the first coat. (The tape is blue by the way. The latex is still translucent.)
This is how I feel about exceeding my flickr bandwidth for the month on useless prom pictures. Also, I cut my bangs into one of those sexy V styles. The headband and clumped together bangs are my attempt and trying to get my hair to sit flat.
I'm a jerk for not using a cut, aren't I?
It feels good to wake up and not know what day it is. And hopefull with all this summer time on my hands, other than helping around at the SPCA, I can get a few things done.
I have watched this too many times. I like to look at a different part of his face each time. Alright, that sounded stalker-ish. Yep, just posted this because it makes me laugh. (P.S. It's Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the dude who plays the Comedian.)
I don't really feel like posting, or doing much of anything. But I thought I might as well. Sorry if this entry is a grammatical mess. And a downer.
On Sunday after I got home from Erin's I started feeling quite down. After crying for most of the evening, and occasionally breaking down into hysteric sobs, I went to bed. My mom told me I didn't have to school if I did feel up to it. The next day I took my mom up on that offer of not going to school. I slept most of the day and didn't eat anything but 2 waffles and some potatoes for the entire day. Midway through this day I began to feel apathetic. I went to my last SPCA class, but didn't feel any different when I got home. When night came around I cried a bit, but not much. I found it hard to sleep or do much of anything. Today I went to the Pre-school with my mom and slept on the couch until noon. Then I talked to a doctor on the phone. This is when I noticed my hands feeling physically numb. My mom bought me some Starbucks and that coffee cake I usually love. I couldn't finish either. I went for a ride in the car with my mom and we drove to the beach. We walked for a bit, then walked in Golden Gate Park. We went to the Conservatory of Flowers and it was beautiful, but I still didn't feel anything emotionally. After that we had lunch I Japantown. I wasn't hungry but ate anyway. My mom offered to go to the Sanrio store, but after a minute of browsing I didn't feel like shopping, so we left without buying anything.
I'm home and I still feel empty. I've been laying in bed since 3 pm. I cried a bit today in the car, but that's about it on the emotions bit. It feels odd for my to raise my voice above a murmur and I feel a bit dizzy right now. I have no desire to do anything I usually enjoy. I've never felt like this before. My mom offered to do anything or go anywhere today and I just couldn't get myself to want to.
Man, I'm on an updating spree. Anyway, I received the contacts (pic on Facebook. Wow, I feel like a whore typing that.) and thigh-high boots today in the mail! The boots are STUPID SEXY. I mean, maybe I've just got a thing for beautifully shaped and arched heels, but man. HOT. The only problem is that the boot's pvc is a tiny bit darker than the leotard's pvc. Just my luck! I don't really know what to do about this. I'll figure something out.
I'm getting mah hurr did on Valentine's Day, so yeah, I'm exited. Did you guys still want to go the the pillow fight?
Oh, I got a Valentine Gram today. It was Anonymous. It reads "When I'm around you life seems brighter. Seeing you makes my day that much better. My heart races, my body numbs. You are..." I want to know who it is! Well, half of me wants to know anyway.
At school again, LiveJournaling again. Well, actually, schools over. I'm waiting for my parent-teacher conference. Haha, I know, what is this, elementary school? I know, I asked that at first too.
Hey Elizabeth, do you have school on Friday. Also, what day are you going to do your homework? We really must have a Movie night/dress form making party/sewing day/thrift shopping trek/trip to Haight st. day. Wait, could that all happen in 24 hours? Hmm... Well, movie night would happen at night of course. We could go to Haight st. via the 33 on Mission. After that we could head back to Mission and go to Thrift town and to the fabric shop next to it. After, we could return to Elizabeth's house and eat while making dress forms. Finally, we can unwind and watch movies. Oh dude, I found this place that delivers (it's on 16th and Bryant) that has BETTER fired tofu than the place. No, I shit you not. It's fucking amazing. It has excellent green beans as well. Fuck, it's so good. I want some right now. MMmm...
I'm kind of bored. Though there are so many bad thing said about being bored. Ah, now I feel uncreative for saying I'm bored. I should be making art. Well actually, I should be home cutting and sewing and creating. I will do that when I get home, though I do have two artist statements to type. I don't want to write about my creative spirit. It simply is. Derive from is what you will.
Alright, I'm composing this entry and school, with about ten minutes left until class starts, so I'll try to band this out. I went fabric shopping yesterday and got the red pvc and pattern for the leotard. I really need for us to make dress forms, it would make my life so much easier for making the leotard skin tight! I also bought the fabric for Tetra's pants and vest. I also got the fabric stuff to line said garments. Except I have no idea how to. Well, I'll learn before Fanime is here. I've ordered the thigh-high boots, contacts, and body-make up for Sedusa. Well, I did those thing last week and the week before. They'll be here soon. Also, I still need to go to Haight St. to buy the gloves, black tights and red fishnets. That's about it. I'll see you guys later.
Well, I ordered the boots for my costumes, and the delivery estimate time of arrival is February 18th. I suspect the contacts and body paint will be arriving soon as well. Now I have to get the tights and fishnets, figure out what I'm doing about the leotard, and buy the gloves. I think I'll get the gloves on Haight Street so that I can try them on. I don't like the look of loose pvc gloves.
I've started reading Kuroshitsuji! It's so sweet and beautifully drawn. Aww. I haven't read manga in a while. I feel bad for neglecting my fandoms.
I have a mosquito bite in the middle my top lip. It is a bit swollen and uncomfortable. But nothing like the monstrous thing that jutted out of my face last night. I also have one on the left side of my forehead. Damn. In more Isis' Face News, I have a canker sore on the inside left of my lower lip. This was caused by my need to sleep on m left side despite my newly pierced Conch and Ear Head. I decided to prop part of my forehead on my left arm and have my chin and jaw rest on my pillow, causing the tooth to rub on the inside of my mouth for a couple nights. The left side of my head is not a happy place right now.
So, I was looking over this entry and decided we should totally do some of those costumes for later cons. The cartoon ones could be fore Comic Con, and the Anime and Video Game ones for Fanime and AX. Erin, you could get a Mamimi wig and use it for Judy in the Doug cosplay. Hellz yeah I wanna be Patti Mayonnaise! Oh, I just found this camera in my basement that is exactly like Mamimi's. Also, even if you guys don't really want to do the Hey Arnold! one, I think I'll do Jerold on my own. The hair will be epic. Now I feel quite pumped!
I made a LastFM.
I guess I'll edit this if I find that there's more to say later.
Hey you guys! I really wish I were making this in video format, but it's more convenient for organization reasons if I do it this way. I have a budget for my Sedusa costume. I must keep track of my spending. What sucks is that I have to buy most of this costume. Though I haven't found a red pvc leotard. What is with that?! If I don't find one on ebay, the internetz, or Haight st. I'll have to make one myself. I'll be getting the money soon, so that's when I start buying and wasting cash on rush delivery! Edit: I found a site that has red pvc leotards. $48! Aye, what should I do?
Wondercon to do list! -Buy thigh-high patent leather red boots (I found some on Amazon for $38, marked down from $81!) -Decide wheather to make or buy leotard -Make dress form (Dude, you guys. This would make my life SO much easier if I were to make the leotard.) -Buy red pvc gloves -Black Tights -Red fishnets -Light Green Contacts (I found the perfect ones!) -White Body Paint (ordered it tonight. Three day shipping is expensive.) -Purple-Black fabric for bag
Well, this has been a trying couple of weeks. January is turning out to be an interesting month. And by interesting, I mean weird and emotional. I'm at school right now and the a button is permanently jammed down on this key board. This is the only key board in the computer lab that has this problem. Wut? It keeps injecting a's into every other word. Sucks.
I'm less down than I was before, but I'm not completely happy either. Oh the life of a teenager. I'll get over this slump. I just wish my emotions would take a back seat to reason for once. Not that I'm ungrateful for my intense emotions, they frequently give me that drive and extra push that gets the job done. But still, blehh.
Random note: Simple Plan has some incredibly depressing songs.
Alright, I'll try to make the rest of this entry less emo. Also, my sentence structure bores the hell out of my. I need to go to a writing class.
I just noticed that I have my laptop aright next to me. Why am I not using it. Fail.
Oh crap, it's almost class time, I will edit and finish this entry a bit later. Peace.
Oh fucking shit, I wrote way more in class, but it didn't outsave. Damn, and that shit was good. Anyway, sorry I didn't post it while in class. Anyway, here's more. Even though Elizabeth already commented. I'll try to recreated my last words in summary form.
We have to do costumes. We have to make a timeline, with exact dates, or near estimates. We have to plan out what costumes are going to be made, finished and worn at what cons. We'll have to plan out days to fabric shop, thrift, and make trips to SCRAP. We have to be strategic about this. Also, we have to email the cosplay list from Elizabeth's computer to all of ours. I won't let another con season go by without us cosplaying.
Everything else I said was pretty much random. Oh! I got my counch and ear-head pierced today on my left ear!
