Happy Birthday to umigoddess! May it be the awesome!

Happy birthday to my buddy thefumoffu! Hope it is the awesome (try to get some sleep and have some fun!).

My best wishes to those affected by the Hurricane Katrina. Take care and be safe...

Hey all!
Fanime was really really fun. It was very hectic, tiring, and jam-packed with events.. but it was really fun to hang out with people and genuinely have fun together. It was so fun.
I can't do a long list of things that happened becuase I don't really recall all of them and I am afraid of losing some. But I will post pics on my coscom gallery and hopefully you guys will get an idea of how fun the con was. And that I like to stalk people and take pictures. =)
It was great to see everyone! Here is also a photobucket link: http://photobucket.com/albums/v242/Pikacello/

Oh, it was going well, the embroidery was even and lush and thick...
and then my sewing machine of 13 years died. T.T

Oh Bessie, I will remember you forever. The times we had together... I remember the first day you started smoking. I told you it was a bad idea, and even fanned the thick black gases away from you. You remember it well...
How could I forget the time we united as one... you lovingly pierced my finger and I danced around in anguish.. but an affectionate pain.
And the times you were angered at my impudence and shot needles at my face, only to be stopped by connecting thread.. and the times your foot came off, and I put it back on...
We've been through chuunin jacket piping, spandex, baroque satin, and Lulu's belts together....
I will remember these wonderful times forever...

And against my will, time to go get a new sewing machine. JoAnns has a sale!

I'm sorry if this is annoying, but..


Most of my posts now will be private to you all, but some will be public if they are cosplay/other questions. Right now I don't plan to remove anyone from my friends list, but if you are visiting and would like to be added, please let me know.
Thank you!

Happy Birthday palais!!!!
May it be an awesome one!!

My condolences to those affected personally by the Pope's death. I grieve as well.
I'll bet Jesus gives him a meaaaan pad. =) =) =) =) With windows that don't need to be regulated 24/7.
And some lightweight robes that don't induce back problems... and he won't have to carry around a HUGE staff anymore. (although that was kinda cool)
Not sick, not old, just him... he'll get to act in some plays too, just like the old days. =)
May he rest in peace, and party in heaven.
What a man.

My friends,

updating. Had a wonderful night of catching up on Bleach. Will soon catch up on FMA as well.

=) Wondering how you all are and how things are going. well, I can get an idea from LJs, but somehow I feel like I still cannot grasp the depth of circumstance and existence of you all. I want to know.
( thinking )

All done!!
=) Finished with all things... except work. I must go slave away for boss JD for a while before departing to home.

   Recca will be fun! =) I'm actually leaving for LA this break, so I'll be back around the 28th. Then directly back to school... boo hoo... but it'll be fun!! ::prods taiko peeps:: hopefully I'll learn a lot so I don't drag the group down.

I just read sana_chan's phone post, and it's really funny. =) Don't rip the otter's head off!! Can't wait to see her and everyone else this weekend.
Oh yez! Kim and I are gonna try to make a quick Alabasta Luffy for Recca... but dunno if it's really going to happen or not. We'll see.. =) Kim will be making the jacket for me as her first big sewing project.

Finished with paper!!!!!!!!! YES!
Never know that much stuff existed in one simple piece... Bach was truly a genius man.
Anyway, looking forward to the end.. just a final left.
I want to purchase a few things upon returning home for a spell:

The Incredibles DVD (comes out today! ^___^)
other things.

Want to rent:
Starfox Assault
Brave Fencer Musashiden II
Kamatari Damacy (or whatever it's called)

Need to make:
New Ed stuff (jacket clasp and belt thinger)
Other things... but I forget.

Good luck to all ya'll with finals =) And good luck to all ya'll without them and having hard times. And I love you all.

     I failed my physics final. I think it's okay, though.. because I will not fail my studies again. I will not budget my time so unwisely and commit so much that I don't have energy or time to study. I will not do these things and pity myself and whine and mope, becuase if I do, I will just degrade back to this unsuccessful, ungrateful, weak person that I have become.
    It will change. I will make it change! And I will make it better, no matter what. For the people around me and who support my actions have every right to see results. If I don't give back to them, who am I? Change is good. Change will make me a better person. It will help me see what I need to give up opposed to what I am doing, what I need to focus on rather than what I am not focusing on.
     I'm going to bed for a while. Then I will get up and write this research paper. Because I care.
    

thanks to all who replied to my previous post! I'm feeling a lot better now... I think it might have just been the situation, or the fact that I'm too scared to offend people. That is something I'll have to change in the future... must be more confident. I also must think about others muchly! =)
Who's going to Reccacon?? =) Kim and I are gonna go too, but we're doin' separate things.. Kim's probably gonna dress as Demon Naruto (to cosplay wiv Sana-chan and Richii and Pikmin!! yaay!) I'll be going as Edomame... with fixed belt and clasp and thinger! What is everyone else gonna cosplay? I might bring Luffy too, if time allows! I wanna take pics and drool over everyone.. ^_^
Love you guys! =)

Ze wonderful, beautiful mognetcentral passed this on to me! =) And also, she gives me and Kim too much credit.. T.T

Wow, it's been a little while since I updated last! Anyway, here goes..
    How are you all? I've been busy with final projects and suchlike, but now I am freer for a spell before the next assignment. I hope you all are doing okay.
    nekomimi_ruri, I loves you and if you ever need to talk, you know where I am. =) I'll IM you when I see you on.
    What else... AOD! That was the bestest time. I had so much fun... it was very busy, and I didn't have much energy, but that doesn't mean I didn't have fun. It was so awesome because:

     1. Got to see all my friends
     2. My friends got to debut their psychikers and AC Tifa (yay!)
     3. Got to see the coolest guests and their views on life and society
     4. Got to perform with USA Musume and Tsunku-sama =)
     5. Wasn't in costume

Yeah, the last one surprised me a ton! I thought for sure I would be disappointed as hell and so sad and a burden on people.. but it was actually really fun because I got to see what was actually going on, and take good pics of my friends. It was really free and awesome.
Also screwed up many times on R&R.. le sigh. Next quarter I will practice more.
Thanks everyone, for such a fun time. We certainly had the bestest time seeing everyone in costume. =) And we got to chat so much!

Dear Friends concert... Got to see him. It was incredible. I loved his attitude and the way he did things, especially when he joked around. It made the whole concert worth it, even if the guitarist messed up a little and the MC was a ditz. She had no idea what she was doing. But oh well. Phea's percussion teacher played like, all the crucial parts in it, and that made my day. I don't think he knows how lucky he is either =)
Uematsu-sensei is truly a character. Someday, when I am a more respectable musician and composer, I would like to meet him to ask him questions about his genius work. Hopefully, I will get that chance. Right now, it's enough to even be in the same room as him.

Hoping to have a good finals stretch, and then I'm off to LA to train with the Taiko team. Hoping to see Jay Jay while I'm at it and convince her that she needs to go to AX. =)
Hoping that people are having great times, and that things aren't too stressful. Remember that I'm always here to talk to you, even if it only helps a little. =)

Pikacello is worn out.

Sleep when you're dead! Whether it's emotionally or physically, you're exhausted. Have you considered sleeping pills? I took them when I had mono, and they made everything better.

brought to you by interim32. wanna know your lj's moodring color? enter your user name and hit the button. (discussion thread)

I'm ready to go to AOD... not in costume. =)

But I'll be taking pics of ya'll, so watch out for Mich + camera = conditioning = drool

Thanks to my tomo and sis who helped out with costume construction.

Thank you lionboogy! =) =) =)
And thank you waynekaa!! =) =)
Anyway, how are you all doing? I apologize for my last post, it was dreary. But now I'm okay.

I hope work is not killing you guys.
