Update On Life - Latest Cosplay Project
ye-GADS I haven't updated in a while. Life is still slipping through my fingers while I continue to try to hold it still. I recently got a raise at my job which I'm uber happy about and even made it past my 90 days evaluation period (I can't believe it's been that long) so it's all going well.

In the present time, I bought Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for my DS lite. And I thought that darn BRAIN AGE GAME was addicting! It was quite the obsession. I say "was" because I'm currently on the ghost ship and even though I pull the levers in the order both the game AND the walkthrough tell me to (yeah, that walkthrough's been my friend), the game still tells me I'm wrong. SO I'm pissed at it. And then I saw FFIII, used, at Hastings. Who could resist?? So to punish Zelda, it's in time-out and I'm playing FFIII XD.

Also, the most amazing news. SPIRAL'S FINALLY HIT AMERICA!!!! No, I don't mean the anime. I own all that. The manga has finally started to be published in America. There are no words to describe my elations. But, even before this, I found a site that has been religiously translating the manga and putting it online. I loved Kanone before. He's my favorite character. NOW I'm going to abduct him and never let him go. OMG!!!!!!!!!!! PWN-NESS LEVEL INCREASED BY TEN-FOLD!!!! =@_@= The anime rocked, the manga has totally taken over my world. I even missed class to keep saving it and reading it XD

Now for the update in my cosplay life.
Just bought my ticket for Anime Oasis: Nana in Boise, ID. Me along with Etaru and some of our other cosplay friends are going to get together and do an Angel Sanctuary theme and skit. And no, all you ladies out there, I'm not going to tarnish Raphael again. This time my object of mutilation is Kurai, demon princess. A character who finally fits my short stature XD. This will be an interesting endevor because Kurai is decently tan. For thos ethat have seen me, I am WHITE AS SNOW! lol. Yay sunless, instant tanner XD Yep.. And this costume I'm endevoring to make the costume myself (I'm screwed. I can't even complete stuff I'M GOOD at doing lol). But yeah, more to come on this. I'll be ordering a wig within the week, hopefully, so be expecting an update then (cause by then I SHOULD have chosen which of her outfits I'm doing)

And lastly, I added a new bg to my few gifts to The O. In light of my rekindled total OBSESSION for Spiral and Etaru, with the kindness of a goddess, giving me another Spiral art book that I didn't even know existed, I created a bg og Hizumi, a character from Spiral who only appears in the manga. And he ROCKS. And I also snagged Adobe Photoshop from Kailand and Etaru so I had to tinker XD Enjoy!

   ZOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!

heh.... This is so me right now....and it still makes me laugh.

Ya know, before I started college, I willingly didn't have a life. Now that status quo has been forced upon me. SERIOUSLY!!! I HAVE NO LIFE ANY MORE! And it's just gotten worse. I work 24 hours at least at a part time job, I'm taking 15 credits so I have at least one class each day, I'm an assistant youth leader at my church's youth group so there goes Wednesday evening, and just recently added to the list is that I'M NOW A TUTOR!

So, this is all fine and dandy, but I was told Monday of last week that I start tutoring the Monday of THIS week. Wonderful, an excellent opportunity for me to really get a taste of what it's like to teach Latin (the subject I'll be tutoring on) but goodness!!! MORE WARNING! But I found out from the counselor of the gal I'm going to be tutoring that my previous Latin teacher specifically said that he wanted me to be the tutor. I heard that and I'm =*_*= WOOOTS!!!!!!! But yeah, it's 6:30, I tutor this girl at 9:15 or therein, and I have a worksheet to make up. Which I can easily do, I just don't wanna answer my own questions lol. I'm an inch away from teaching my friends Latin so they'll do the answer sheets for me lol. But yeah, just easier to do the stupid stuff.

So yeah, with my weekends filled up with work and church and the remaining days a caboodle of odds and ends that demand my absolute attention, it's looking like my visits on here are going to be fewer and fewer for a while. However, I'll try my best to keep updating, talking to peeps, and at the very least popping out e-cards.

In other news, I swear my mom's trying to hook me up with guys. Not to say that I'm a lesbian, I'm just saying that I've been a content single person. Apparently my mom's thinking I need a change. And just to give any of you who might read this a laugh, I will recount the two stories (yes, two).

First incident: I give blood on a regular basis and there's only one guy who helps with the blood drawing process. He's decent on the eyes, and absolute character (he's surrounded by women and then people who hates needles and he has to draw a quart of blood from them. a person would have to be) and I had told my mom once a while back that he was indeed cute and nice. My mom and I usually give blood on the same date and time so that we can help distract each other from the horrible needles but the last time we donated, she had just gotten a shot so couldn't donate for another couple of weeks and my work was having a blood drive for employees only. So, being me, I decided to support my work and hope that I didn't have an "complications" as I can have sometimes in front of all my coworkers lol. My mom gave a few weeks later. Well, when SHE went to donate blood, a few of HER co-workers were friendly teasing the guy there and mom, either out of the goodness of her heart or just for the sheer fact that she's a parent and has some internal mechanism that shouts "embarass your kid!", looked up at ALL of them and said, "Well, my DAUGHTER likes him!" And no, it was not taken as "he's a good blood drawer person". The real kicker in this story is that he was talking to her while she was giving blood, had talked about our schedules getting off (as far as donating), and he replied, "Oh, she donated at Costco, right?" HE WASN'T THERE THAT DAY!!! =O_o= So that has me preplexed to say the least.

Second incident!
This one, goodness what can I even say? to sum it up in a nutshell, my mom's pretty much trying to set me up with my former Latin teacher. Now, granted he's only 10 years older than me, it still came as a shock when she mentioned it! Time to set the scene again. I had just been recently told that I was going to tutor and the counselor woman pretty told me... nothing. I had just barely gotten the girl's name! I didn't even know what level of Latin she was in. So I had been meeting with my teacher severak times that week, getting information of the girl, snagging a copy of the two Latin books he had, and he was kind enough to make copies of all the worksheets that they had done as well as an exam they did. He was an enormous help. But he's been having some crappy past two years (a LOT of deaths of people close to him) so we got to talking a lot each time I was there (actually we chatted more than talked about Latin lol) and he grew up in an area close to where I did, so it was nice to just talk. Well, I was recapping everything to my mom, and out of nowhere she goes(keeping in mind that she has never met him being as I was fully enrolled in a different school and so only went to this school where he taught for two classes), "Ya know, he sounds like a really great guy. And you know, age isn't a concern for you because you're so mature." "Zuh??" "I just mean that it sounds like you two would make a great couple! You should invite him over for dinner!" I nearly had a heart attack before I was even 25. It's crazy! So yeah, there are my problems for the moment XD

And it is now 6:45, I still haven't eaten, bathed, or worked on this flippin worksheet, and I still need a soda... CRUNCH TIME!! With Mission Impossible theme music... Toodles all! I'll post back later!

OH!!! I GOT A NINTENDO DS!!! Lite (black) of course. And I'm addicted to flippin BRAIN AGE OF ALL THINGS!!! Oh well, it entertains me *dances*

   Question for the Fellas
Would it be worse to be mistaken as a pretty woman, or an ungly one??

I honestly have no idea why I was thinking about this, but on my way home, it just suddenly popped into my mind. I suppose if it where me, if it were a pretty woman, I'd think that at least I'm pretty in some way. At the same time, though, if it were an ugly woman, then I think it'd be more natural cause I wouldn't be a woman anyway, so why should I be a pretty one?? I dunno, like I said, it's just something that randomly popped into my head that I was suddenly curious about XD. I think I need more sleep. And Dew... =^_^=

   Machines with beans and trucks with nuts. There they are, Macadamia nuts!
lol A cookie for anyone who knows where that's from. (Sam, you don't count :P)

So here I am, back from the abyss. No promises this time. I realize that before I had no life, but it was by choice. Now I am forced to have no life. College and school has drained it all away. Along with that, I am also a youth leader at my church's youth group so that's funky chicken for me. However, my hectic schedule means that I'll be pretty busy and either too tired to update, or too lazy. In short, expect much of the same from me XD. Also, I have been in contact with my Latin teacher from highschool (man I feel old saying that...) and he has asked me if I would be willing to do some tutoring!!! I am gleeful of this as it will give me vital experience in teaching Latin as well as help me conquer some of the rust that's covered my Latin, but I am also nervous and it would drain even more non-existant time from me lol. So, we'll see if that goes through or not!

Of late, though, I have had a random streak of motivation! I have finally made an e-card that I have had in mind for ages. AND!!!!!! On top of that, I have finally put up some pictures of my cosplay as Raphael from Angel Sanctuary (die-hards and fangirls, you might want to stay clear of them XD).

And now, I am in sudden need of a nap (even those I've had two 1 liters of Mt. Dew) so I will try to update more later! Doodles all!

And for those wanting to know, I still have my job! Woo!!! =^_^= And have even been briefly trained on the cashier so I will be doing some of that soon! So now I am off to dance into my bedroom with the song "Dance of the Knights" (Or also called Montagues and Capulets [Yes, as in the two families from Romeo and Juliet]) playing oh so romantically XD. (Seriously, I have been obsessing over this song of late. It's so catchy and beautiful!)

   Holy SMOKES
My last post was about me just getting my job and now I've not only been at said job for almost a month and a half, but I've also just started COLLEGE!!! This is nuts! And instead of writing a paper that's due in less than 2 hours, I'm here ranting about it. Typical me, huh?

Well, life's gotten CRAZY! My job's kept me plenty busy (my friends will testify to that) but it's been a great experience and an amazing place to work. The other employees are uber nice, the supervisors are all very respectful as well as fun, the rules are strict but not overly so, and it's just a great place. Plus it pays good. VERY good. So that's elations for me. But now school's started. The great news is that my work is very considerate of students and their school schedules (a mistake had been made and I was supposed to work on the first day I started classes, DURING the time I HAD classes and they just made notes to the supervisors of that day that I wouldn't be able to make it and just asked me to come when and if I could with no consequence to me. It was extremely nice caus eI was about to have a mid-life crisis) and their only requirement is that I work at least 24 hours a week. So that works otu great for me.

As for my classes, I've had all of them but one (I'm taking five this semester) at least once and enjoy them all decently. It's certainly going to be interesting and with some of them, I'm a glutton for punishment. But more on that later because at the moment, I SERIOUSLY have to due this blasted paper (it's not even HARD, I just don't wanna do it =^_^'= ) Yep, no changes for me yet. Well, more coming soon and be expecting some e-cards cause it's been killing me to not have put soem up by now and I have an urge so strong to do them, I swear I'm gonna pop somethin. Huh, I can use that to help with another assignment.... Wow, I've graduated to college. I'm thinking of my personal health declines as ways to help with assignments... Not cool... Oh well =^_^=
