   It's Already Time
I've liked anime on and off since 95 but like I've said before I really got into it around 2000-2001. Well I hadn't been to a convention until 05. Ever since then I have loved con-going. It feels great and I hope that if you never been to one, that you get to attend soon!

After Sept last year I was a bit down because going once per year was getting a tad old. So when I found out about AX07 I knew I wanted to go...So here it is only a few hours and a day away and I'm excited! I can't believe how fast time goes by.

But to celebrate I want to share a few con memories...

Anime Vegas 2006: Looking at swords when suddenly a giant Pocky box ran by...followed by a HUGE group of screaming fans. I nearly had to duck to avoid the massive glomping.

Anime Vegas 2005: When Chris Sabat called me a cute Pan and signed the majin mark on my wrist.

Anime Vegas 2006: Not being at the con ten minutes before a group of Big O fans glomped me!

Anime Vegas 2005: Having an overly hyped woman take massive pics of me as Pan....Followed by a girl dressed as Ash attack me with her camera as well.

Anime Tour For The Cure (Please don't kill me! I'm innocent!): When InuYasha and I had an odd conversation about a sword...his sister, Sango seemed to think that we were talking about something else.

As a final thought-Anime Vegas 2006: When the panel talked about odd experiences while recording, Laura Baily told us of when she was doing Tohru Honda's voice and a board hit her in the head. She screamed F*&^ in Tohru's voice.

Yeah good times....Hopefully I'll bring back more and of course tons of pics.

   Wondering...
I just want to say this is more of a diary entry...Oh and incase you all were wondering, I figured out that it was the memory stick duo. the PSP is now fully functional.

So I've been doing really good with my stories lately (other site) and one really got me thinking about some stuff...Like have you ever looked back at your life and seen how things worked out? Why things work the way they do because of how you act or what kind of reactions you have?

I was thinking about something that happened three years ago...A certain time in my life where I didn't know what to think or how to feel. I felt like I had no future with anything. To make matters worse there was someone I cared about, that I had a crush on, and someone I wanted to stay friends with...Well when I decided to leave a group we were both apart of he didn't accept me as a friend anymore...And you know what? If I could go back and change it I WOULDN'T. It now seems childish to act the way we both did.

But maybe thinking about the past is good. Learn from error, find new things and maybe be happier. Living in the past is pointless because you can't change anything but you can make a difference next time.

I just wanted to say that. Good night everyone.

   Help!....Please!
Okay so I made honor roll (yay) and I saved up to buy myself a gift. A PSP. I got the software for transfering music to the correct format and all that good stuff. But when I plug in the usb to the computer and the PSP, it keeps saying "please connect the PSP". Do I need a Memory Stick Duo for it or do you have any idea how to make it work? If so please tell me!

   Hard Times Get Better
This could have possibly been the worst week of my life...

Let me start off by saying that this post is more like a diary entry. I need to open up and say things to feel better. Please don't see me as a wimpy or weak person because of it. Thank you.

It all started way before this week. I think I even made a post about when it happened but I don't remember. Anyway a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away just kidding) when my sister and her now fiance were simply dating, his dog had cute little puppies. Of course my sis wanted one since she's a dog lover but my dad wouldn't allow her to have another. In order to keep everyone happy, she kept her new pup at her boyfriends house with his dog.

Well time passed quickly and her fiance moved in and with him, her grown dog. It's a cute little dachshund (weiner dog) mix. My dad is a softy for animals so he had no problem wih it by then.

There was a reason why she couldn't bring the puppy home the first time she asked dad...We already had three dogs:

Storm(y)-My seven year old american eskimo (sp?) mix and good little buddy.

Lady (she is gone now with her original owners) but at the time she was our sweet but strong guard dog.

Lastly there is Aeon (baby)- My sister's "cute" and "sweet" pitbull.

Anyway she brought her pup home (her name is Sha-Nay-Nay yeah I don't get why she's named that either but we call her Nay-Nay for short). Well as she moved her fiance in, he began to want his own dog (Nay-Nay's father) to come live with our happy little bunch.

And so it was. And for a while all was good until a tragic night where Aeon attacked his dog in our backyard, leaving two huge teeth marks in his neck. The dog was rushed to the vet but in a twist of fate, it ended that my sister and her fiance would never see the dog again.

The very next night, I came over to spend the weekend and see my family. My sister told me of the "accident" and we chatted about other things when we suddenly heard yelping from her room. We ran in to see Aeon attacking Nay-Nay and quickly broke up the fight (with Lady's help). My sister told her pitbull if this continued she would have no choice but to put her down. She didn't want to loose another dog to this..."dog".

Again time passed and I had almost forgotten the whole thing but in my heart I always feared for my little Storm's life. I know what it's like to loose something you love and I would fall apart if he was gone.

Fast forward to this week. Tuesday to be exact, my mom and I had been talking abut getting ourseleves a little puppy to live with us. And despite my busy routine with making costumes, work and pushing myself for good grades I said hey why not? So we went to the pet store and found a sweet litte terrier/chihuahua mix. I thought it would be great. So we got home and soon found out she was a crazy little ball of fur. Running about, playing, running from my cats and even being smacked by one! I couldn't have my cats beating up the innocent thing (only 12 weeks old) so I called my good 'ol sis.

I asked if she would kindly take care of the baby over at my dads since I couldn't have the kitty hurt it. She happily agreed.

Dad was against it at first but after a few hours of being with it he bonded. All my family seemed to really enjoy the puppy. Nay-Nay licked it, Stormy ran from her in fear (he's a huge coward oh and I named my pup Chi after my favorite persocom), and Aeon seemed to be taking a mother-role.

My sis called me all through the day about how she was, falling in the pool, running and playing with the others and deep down I couldn't help but feel proud that she was able to be with other puppies. To play and be happy.

....The next day I got a phone call while out shopping. I needed buckles and I was already upset about personal issues. But nothing compared to my phone ringing and my sister saying "Hollie, Dad found the puppy...she's dead. Aeon bit a whole straight into her skull. I'm so sorry."

At first I thought she was joking but after hearing her sniffles I knew that it was true. Chi, my baby, was gone.

I took it better than I thought! I just said "Well whatta ya gone do, right? It was an accident...It couldn't be helped."

My mom over heard the news and tried to take it well and I simply strolled into the craft store...I broke down shortly after and got a lot of stares from people that acted like they had never been upset before in their lives! But I didn't care, I still don't. People can say whatever they want, I'm human and if I cry, I cry.

I got phone calls the rest of the day from my dad. Apologies and such. My sister had said before that she would put her idiotic dog down if this continued. Of course she's taking it back now and refuses to. I, however see it differently. I said "Ok if you think the dog is so safe after killing two dogs and attacking one, I want her to play with Emily (my two year old cousin) and Angelo (my one year old cousin) when they come over. If you really believe that the dog is safe to be around my puppy than she must be safe around children, correct?"

Dad yelled at me a lot but whatever.

He began to ask if I wanted a new puppy. Nothing can replace what is lost, it can only fill the space left by that thing or being. I objected his offerings even after he dragged me to several different pet stores. I cried more and more after each one was left. I wanted my puppy no other. I realized though that God couldn't give me my dog back, no matter how much I wanted it. She is gone. She won't come back and there will never be another dog like her. That's the way it is.

I went home to find my mom expecting a new pup. There was none. I only mentioned a few cute chihuahuas down at the final store we had been to. She jumped up and said "Lets go get us a puppy!"

As a lasting result I have a ten-week-old baby boy laying next to me as I type this. He's tan and black colored, very small and cute. He won't go to sleep unless I lay with him and well his name is Kiba.

I don't know what will happened to Aeon but I bet she'll kill something or someone else. Maybe then my sister will wise up and face the reality but I doubt it. All I know is that Kiba will never have to suffer what my dead little girl did. He won't be buried in the front yard with a small headstone up. No. I won't let him get hurt and I can only protect Storm when I'm with him. But I don't worry so much about him because despite his cowardice nature, he is pretty tough against stupid dogs that kill. Go Storm! Kick her a$$!

Anyway I hope things wil get better and I hope I can finish my costume in time for con! Wish me luck and I hope you all have a safe weekend!

   Mother's Day
Aren't moms great?...Okay well I adore mine so for Mother's Day I got her some very interesting gifts...

See most peeps get their moms flowers, candy or sweet cards. Don't get me wrong, those are cute gifts! My mom would even like it if I cleaned my room. *waves fist at the evil room* But instead of getting her the usual gifts, I got her the one thing she loves most: Horror DVDs.

Yeah she loves anything with blood, disturbing images, gore, people getting chopped up, or someone being attacked by Leather Face.

It's okay though cause I love that stuff too (I think it was bred into me from her lol). But while I was out getting the DVDs, the girl who worked there was asking why I was buying such odd movies. I told her that my mom and I bond by watching people get murdered. After that she kind of urged me to leave. :p Hehehe oh well I love my mom's weirdness...even if it gets me in trouble with employees.

Oh and I was wondering what you people got your moms for Mother's Day?

   Stupid Dreams
Okay usually my dreams are weird but this one makes the others look normal!

So it started that the entire world was made of ice and snow. Well a few other girls and me were trapped on this mountain and had to slide down these deep slopes to get down. After sliding on ice for a while we came to a stop when a section was completely water. The only way to get across the gap was to swim but since the water was so cold we decided to get a penguin to help. The little bird was trying to pull something out of the water to help but suddenly these people came up and tried killing the penguin to stop us from getting across the hole.

Well I kind of have a black out and end up in the car with my mom. And as I look out the window I see people in all kinds of costumes. Like renaissance dresses, knight armour, and of course cosplay outfits. But there was really no fair or convention going on so I couldn't figure out why. Anyway I decided that I wanted to go home and get ready in one of my outfits. Well after another short black out I'm dressed up and I'm down stairs in a weird hotel lobby. My dad's there setting up his camera stuff when this guy comes up and shoots him! To make matters worse he shoots some other people in the lobby and I got hit in my left leg.

After that whole incident I black out and find myself in yet another scene. I'm out shopping with my dad, grandma, and sister. My sis is complaining that she wants to go to California and my dad keeps saying no. So of course she decides to go anyway and ends up taking me along for the ride. Well we end up getting there and everything looks like a haunted house ride.

To skip anything minor, my mom and me end up in the ride and it turns out we're on Punk'd (don't ask) and there's a stand that sells puppies.

It was so crazy I can't even explain how odd it all looked. But you can imagine that my mind is pretty much insane. ^_~

   The Time Is Nearing!
Ever notice that you give someone advice and they're grateful for it but when you need advice you won't take your own? Like telling someone "Hey just tell your crush you like them! The worst that can happen is that they don't like you back" but if you are scared to talk to a person you like than you don't take your advice and just say it to them.

Well I started thinking about that and realized that I need to take my own advice and either shove it or use it. See my mom is famous for saying she wants to get all rich (she occasionally gambles, no she doesn't have a problem) but she hardly ever plays a game that pays big money. So I always tell her: "In order to win, you have to play." She of course ignores me hehehe.

Well to get slightly off topic, AX is nearing and I'm a lazy/slightly busy person so I have to get things done early or they may not get done. So I'm working on my final outfit and I was thinking 'I want to win a cosplay contest at a con, not just a local one' but I'm very worried about my abilities to sew and craft.

That's when my own advice bit me. I can't win unless I play. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm sick of always dreaming about what I could do and how it wouldn't take any work to get there. Because life doesn't play like that. I have to work hard to get where I want to be. I have to dedicate time and effort into my projects.

Overall I decided to enter the cosplay contests for upcoming cons and I'm going to put my heart into it! Even if I don't win, I want to feel like I accomplished something great. Besides I can handle losing, it's all about the fun of doing your best. ^_^ Peace out!

   Rumbling Hearts
Last Christmas I got a lot of anime stuff. Everything from action figures (love em!) to DVDs. Well I haven't really had time to watch all the DVD's so I chose to just watch a couple once in a while. So far I watched Gravitation, Shrine of the Morning Mist, Tenjho Tenge and a few others. Well since I couldn't sleep (cold is keeping me up) I put on Rumbling Hearts. It was kind of sad but still good.

It's a love triangle between two girls (that are best friends) and their guy friend. One goes out with him and falls in love but alas falls into a coma after being hit by a car. Well whilst she's sleeping, her best friend ends up hooking up with her boyfriend. Three years pass and the two are still together and one day they discover that their friend has awoken from her coma state.

If you're into the sad types then check it out!

   Ughh...
So yeah like a lot of people on here, I too am sick. -*grabs tissue*- Anyway I woke up yesterday at my dad's house with the right side of my throat burning. I thought it was just dry so I drank some 7Up...That didn't help. And so the pain got worse over night and now I have a fever. It pretty much just sucks.

Well I just thought I'd tell you peeps that and um if I can I'll put up the first page to my manga. ^_^ See ya! -*sneezes and falls off chair*-
