   Naruto in Love
I started to think last night, Naruto is ga-ga over Sakura...but would it really be THAT good if Sakura actually returned his feelings? I mean, she's kinda bossy, and his image of her would be shattered if she wobbled off of her pedestal. But then again, it would be better than her ending up with Sasuke (little jerk that he is), since he thinks she's really annoying. Even if he didn't think she was annoying, I see him going for someone who is more powerful, but hasn't got the hots for him. You know...the whole unattainable thing seems to do it for guys like him. Also, he'd want to start having kids to start the Uchiha family back on the road to recovery, but I think Sakura would come to hate him for using her like that.
On the other hand, there's Naruto, who would never use Sakura for any purpose, let along a baby-machine. There's just something really endearing about his little loud-mouthed outbursts, isn't there? And in the anime, when he tried to hug her...she smacked him. I haven't seen all of the anime, and I really haven't touched the manga, but people tell me that Sakura is beginning to respect Naruto, and that she's seeing different sides to him that she hadn't before. We can hope that she'll come around. But then again, what about poor little Hinata?

   Potential for Haku Cosplay
Well, right now I'm having a hard time. I want to go to the anime cons that are around here in Texas, but I have nearly a year to go, and I need ideas for costumes. I have one already, including hair, but I need at least one other. I was thinking of doing Haku from Naruto, but the mask is going to be a doozie! The shoes are all over Ebay, and I can make the haori, obi, pants and maybe the undershirt if I can't find any in stores. But if anyone can think of a way to make a Haku mask, let me know. I thought of life-casting and then building it up, or maybe even going the polyester resin route. Then I remembered that if my apartment manager knew I had that kind of stuff in my apartment (resin is wayyyyy flammable), I would be tossed out into the bin before I could blink!
So if anyone reads this and gives more than half a care, pm me and let me know how I would go about making my Haku mask. I did see a mask online, but it was 70.00, and it was a cheap plastic one!!! I know that it is totally stupid to charge that much for something that looks like a five-year-old would wear it for a Halloween mask, so I'll take any suggestions I can get.

   My Escaflowne Rant
Ok,have any of you ever watched an anime that was good, engaging, nice characters and everything...until you get to the end, and they totally mess it all up?
Well, that's how I felt today when I neglected my schoolwork to finish watching the Escaflowne episodes that I have. I was left with less closure than some breakups that actually happened to me!!
I won't give any spoilers just incase anyone wants to watch it, but I'm a romantic. People like me want the happy ending with hugs and kisses and all of that mumbo jumbo. So all in all, it was a little like medieval Gundam with some really neat Gregorian chants and a hectic love square (pentagon?). Then the flaming asteroid of an ending...oh well. They can't all end like I want them to, but it would be Sooooo nice if they would. GRRRRRRRR!!!

   WOW...driving....zzzzzzzzz
Ok. I know that I'm a die-hard fan of anime, fantasy and science-fiction now. How do I know this? That is because not only did i drive 29 hours in the past five days, but I ran out of gas and had to get someone to bring it to me, and on the way back, I nearly fell asleep. I also paid out of the nose to do the whole Dragon Con thing. I got some really great pictures, and I felt like I was getting mobbed by the paparazzi while I was wearing my suzuka costume. I should be posting pics of that as well as some others of people I don't really know. Anyhow, It is really late, I'm tired, and I have class tomorrow.

:)

   Dying hair...
I don't really dye my hair except for cosplay. Now, it's always a temporary rinse, but I have to say that the one I used earlier today is really bad. It was supposed to be black. Instead, it turned my hair dark brown (my hair is medium brown, naturally!). I'm not altogether sure what the people at that beauty-supply store were trying to pull. Anyway, I have something that will most likely work a lot better. So, hopefully, I will soon be posting some wonderful pictures of my Suzuka cosplay from Dragon Con in Atlanta, which is this weekend.
Arigatoo for reading.

   Picture quality.
Er...
I think that I need to figure out how to work things a little better. The picture quality is really bad, and the worst part is, that's a really good picture of me!!

   School, and why am I here?
Do you ever get the feeling that you're not really sure what it is you're doing in a place at any given time? That's pretty much how I feel right now. I'm pursuing my master's degree right now at a college in Texas, which, for obvious reasons, I will not say what college that is. I've been here for over a month now, and I'm not really sure how much I like it. I'm from Louisiana, which at the moment is getting pummeled by a catagory 5 hurricane named Katrina. The humidity is less here, but it's hotter. There aren't any hurricanes, but I have to deal with more red-necks and hicks than you can shake a stick at. I live alone, I eat alone, and with rare exception, I don't really socialize. I know that if I found friends here, I would probably feel better, but I suppose at the moment, I just feel like wallowing in my own self-pity. I'm not trying to get anyone's sympathy, though. That just makes me feel worse.
