I've been getting into old animes I used to watch back in the days when shows were good. I got to thinking that perhaps they aren't as childlike as I thought it was when I was going through my, "Omigod, this is for babies" phase.

I'm starting to get into Yugioh and Yu Yu Hakusho... thanks to Little Kuriboh and Lanipator ABRIDGED.

I kind of want to watch the original Yugioh again... either in english or Japanese. I kind of want to watch the Japanese version though...

Yu Yu Hakusho... I just want to watch the whole thing again~ I used to be obsessed with Kurama but now that many years have gone by, I am starting to obsess with Yusuke~ Ech, I can't stand Kurama xD I mean, I still like him but it got me thinking... how could I possibly be obsessed with a messy red haired 1000 year old fox? Seriously man. I rather like a soon-to-be-super-saiyan Yusuke OMGSPOILER.

So, I'm on a mission to find all the box sets of Yu Yu Hakusho. I found a couple in Borders but I am hesitating to get it xD I should.... I really really think I shoulder...

Moving along...

I have had such a very long vacation. It feels like summer vacation, my goodness. Thursday was Thanksgiving but it literally lasted for 3 hours... because the next day I went to m'cousin's wedding~ It was really really nice~ lol I did not cry xD And then we had a little mini party at my place the next day... my uncle and aunt who came from Hawaii to see the wedding was leaving very early this morning. D'aww I do hope I see them next year... or whenever they can. T'would be fun. They really really wanted to see snow here.

And, yeah. I think I'm going to the city with m'mom... uh... sometime. I have no idea. I have homework. CRAP.

...of people who can sew things!

It's so clever how they come up with different solutions. Baaah.

But I'm still quite excited about making my costume and a rappig! One of these days... one of these days...

My teacher really liked the animation I made~ But I wished I asked him what grade I gotdshfgjkl I guess it's safe to say that I got.... maybe an A? He was acting very enthusiastic about it lol

Now I gotta plan out my 1 minute animation. I was thinking of making an opening for my "To Exist" characters~ I just... really REALLY have to find the right song. I was thinking of using Umineko's opening but... I don't wanna steal something... then again, all the japanese music I have come from anime xD Oh well. I'll figure out something. In the meantime... I should plan out my bleepin' story boards... h'oh man. This animation is going to take forever. Good thing my teacher is going to give us many days to work on it *pulls hair* I think... starting the week after next.

Anywho, is it the end of the semester yet?

Well, not really~

I'm really excited 'cause in my Computer Animation class we have to make a 30 second animation on anything we want and I'm like, "*HAPPY HAPPY*"

I already made a character and.. just for the heck, I animated him on Photoshop and I love love LOVE it xD

His name is Zero and he's a crow with a very very low manly voice~

I've been trying to find anime's that have Halloween episodes in them but I could only remember one: Host Club. Haha, I dunno. I was going to set up this "Halloween Anime Marathon" but I guess they fail at themed episodes or something. Maybe Christmas I'll do something like that... *shrugs*

Anyway! I've been secretly planning out my outfit on my own. So far, I've only found one hat pattern that doesn't really look like Vivi's. But I figured I could tweak it to whatever style I want it to be. And for the staff, I think I should stick with getting one at a Halloween store or something. I needs to look like a candy cane though! *fist clench*

And... I'm still debating if I should use a jean jacket for Vivi's jacket or make it myself. I... well, on the back of his jacket there's some nonsense going on with some white. It looks like I would have to cut the back so... perhaps I'll make the jacket myself? *shrugs* It shouldn't be too hard.

The pants... the pants look easy enough. The shoes... I'll probably end up wearing my boots that I haven't worn for like... 3 years. I'm sure they still fit *coughs*

Cuffs are easy... gloves are already set.. *sighs* It's the hat I'm worry about now, haha! Ahhh well.

I wish I could wear it on Halloween but I don't think so, haha. I dunno if I wanna dress up as anyone. I was thinking of my character Rev. He needs an eyepatch... and a sword. WHOOSH. I have no idea where they are now. FFFTTTTTT~

*sighs* Well, there's still plenty of time til I-Con. I should plan my months wisely! *dives*

---

In random news... I feel like posting up the covers of my doujinshi out of complete randomness. I haven't looked at them in a long time so... I figured the easier way to do so is to upload it here(?!). I'm too lazy to take them out of my shelf. Their prettiness has blinded me!

I wish there was an easier way to scan the actual pages but I don't wanna bend my book D8 Now... if I had a double of it then I could ruin it xD BUT... y'guys have to settle for the fronts and backs~ I could always photograph them... meh.

DO ENJOY.

Summary: Jade gets tired of waiting for His Majesty so he decides to take a quick nap. Peony finds Jade asleep and decides to take advantage of the situation.

YEAH. So, Thursday I didn't have any classes so I was stuck home a lone and it was the most longerest day of my whole entire life! I don't even know why! I didn't do anything special that day and I was really insanely bored. Oh man.

And yesterday was yet another long day! My friend came to the city to head off to The Met. I needed to go there to write an essay for my class and I needed a receipt. But then a lady came up to us and she gave us her Met pins and she was like, "You can have them, I'm done here." I was like, "Oh man that can totally never happen to us again." But I still needed to pay.... I was feeling generous so I gave the Met the recommended $10. Shyeah.

So, after we were finished in the Met (like around 5:00PM?) and we took the subway back, we were walking toward this huge garage where all the trucks come out of... and then this loud siren bell sounds off and the lights are flashing. Me and my friend were totally bracing ourselves for this huge truck to come out so when the doors flew up, a guy with a cart came out instead xD OMG That was the highlight of our trip, holy crap~

Then we headed to Kino where we ate our very late lunch. Peach Tea tastes so frickin' good... I ended up buying Higurashi *flails* I wish Yotsuba was there but nay. I should have gotten Shugo Chara but oh well.

Then we waited for about an hour at Penn for the 8:15 train. T'was the most longest train ride EVER. My friend came over my house for a little bit and we ordered pizza~ I only had one slice and my brother ate the remainingdsfhjk Haha, oh well. It was mighty good.

And so that was my day.

Oh yes! My friend and I really want to start on our costumes, like planning it out and everything. *flails around* That would be most splendid~

THAT IS ALL!

Haha, about time I upload this somewhere.

Okay, please excuse the very loudness of some of the videos. Apparently, conventions are very loud.

Also, near the end of the Kairi video, Sephiroth yells, "I will not kiss the boy!" In case no one could tell~


Above the dealers in Jacob Javits Center. We were ready to depart


"I WILL NOT KISS THE BOY!" They were both female cosplayers FSHSHSHSHSHSHHHH~


Eric Maruscak drew/coloring Soul Eater characters on the ground. Well, not directly on the ground. There's a mat on top of it.

And that's all I took. I am so professional, right?

Next time: I-Con? =O

Haha! I was going to use this for today's Creative Writing workshop but I'm kind of glad I didn't xD; I'm sorry Jade, but I needed to make it so that people would know who you were. I don't think many people know about Abyss. Ah well.

Someone wanted to see it as well so... hope you found it okay! Some parts are a little iffy but I like how it came out =)

[Background information is after the poem *points to the bottom*]

Red Jade Eyes

I saw things I shouldn’t have seen
My red eyes glistening in the night sky
The roar of flames bursting feet away
Filling the sky with searing embers

I gazed from the blue-black sky to the fallen body before me
Noticing my friend shivering close by
He was screaming and crying, “What do we do now?”
And I said with certainty, “I’ll bring her back”

Although I was young and helplessly weak
I never thought that I was one bit reckless
Because at the time, at that very moment
All I could think about was what I wanted

I didn’t care what came out of it
The things I've learned had never failed me
But I didn’t even stop to think about what just happened
What I had done that very night

When all was complete and I had done my duty
I stood back with a smile of uncertainty this time
And gazed at what I had created before me
Something felt wrong, so very wrong

She stood up with a horrified expression
Her breath appearing in small puffs of white
One look around and then towards me
She reared back and gave out a cry

Her desire was to feed upon those who got in her way
The body she now possessed desired to be stronger
Her rampage for blood went on for many years
Until she was sealed away never to be seen again

And all I could do was watch
Watch those who had suffered
And yet, I still don’t quite understand
What it means to live and die

Just some background information in case nobody knows, this takes place in Keterburg (snowy village/city) after Jade had performed an arte that caused an explosion. His teacher, Nebilim has been severely injured and on the brink of death. Dist, who was with Jade at the time, has witnessed the act and is in hysterics. Jade decides to perform fomicry to create a replica of his fallen teacher. However, little experience of this move has turned the replica Nebilim into a monster who feeds upon fonon's to keep herself strong.

Basically, that's it. And Jade has never understood the meaning of death so... yar.

Hope it was okay =O

Omigosh! It was amazing! Even though I've been to a few conventions, this is my first ever huge anime convention! It was... oh my gosh, I don't know where to begin!

There were so many cosplayers! (huh doi lol) It makes me wanna cosplay even more now! Me and my friends were thinking of group cosplaying~ That would be totally awesome. But I would also like to dress up as someone else too. I am aiming for Kanon from Umineko no Naku Koro ni~ He's too cool with his frickin' arm knife, haha! Yes! I am aiming for Kanon!asdjkhgfsl

My friend makes a very awesome Yoko ^-^ She got so many pictures taken~ I wish she didn't have to carry so many things, haha~

I wish I bought more things... I only got 3 things: 2 Abyss doujinshi and a Vivi pin! I wanted to get a figurine but I didn't. We were kind of moving around booths too quickly and I didn't want to stop and lose sight of my friends. Geez, even if you look away for one second you can easily lose sight of someone. So, yeah. I wish we were more organized and planned a spot to meet if we ever lost sight of someone =/ But despite losing sight of friends and me moving from one group to the other, it was still enjoyable! ^_^

Gah! I wish we went for more than 1 day!

There weren't a lot of interesting panels to go to. I always wanted to go to a Masquerade... but I fear that it would be very irritating to hear fangirls (omigosh, there were so many yaoi fangirls ruining the moment)... but still. But, I think I'm keen on watching the skits online, skipping through the ones I don't know~

I have videos and pictures to show so I'll probably put those up later today. I'm still grinning over yesterday xD

Oh, and I couldn't find any Jade's... *sighs* Oh well... that's okay. My Jade army will have to wait though....

I think I lost Jade! *panic*

I'm trying to think... when I took out my ticket I don't recall ever seeing Jade attached to the chain... but I didn't notice this until when I arrived in school. But I'm starting to think if Jade came undone while I was taking my ID out outside =/

NO. I'm... I'm sure he's at home... he's gotta be somewhere home! I've just noticed this today! *sighs* Oh noes *grabs head*

Argh, and I won't be home until 6:30PM... argh... wait for me, Jade! Please! *cries*

*sighs* I could always get another one... *deep sigh* I'll try to find him and report back... that is if I'm not too depressed/happy ^^;;

I kinda really hate it when I do that 'cause then I can't fall back to sleep again. I did sleep early last night... arrggghhh!

Well, I had to wake up early to move my car (and my bro's plus we had to move our mom's car as well) to the other street. Our neighbors are going to have their front yard trees chopped down D8 Why!? It's been there ever forever!

Well... less leaves to rake, I guess? ^^;

Plus, the neighbors behind our house are having their backyard tree chopped down (YES!). They said the ivy that grows out of it are bad for the kid's so... (Awww~). But this is a different story. I've always wondered when they would cut that tree down xD

So... yeah. It's close to 6:30AM and I got the day off! *fist raise*

Yep! Everything is just hunky dory over here! I'm just so GLAD this week is over.

I... hate my friday class. Oh god. GOD. I am going to be dreading this class the entire year. Why is it that there has to be a class that I have to hate? ALWAYS! GOD! Just.. just leave me alone already! I wanna get back to my unsociable life here, haha~

And I finally know how much battery life my laptop has! Haha, at one point it said that I had 41 hours of life and I was like, "Ah, sweet!" but then it reverted back to 2 hours and 35 minutes. Haha~ Well! It's better than my other laptop, definitely. PFF. That thing only had like... an hour... but every time I checked it was already down to like 18 minutes. *grunts* Whatever. That thing is history. Quite literally.

So! I've been eating nothing but boxed food. That's okay... I feel like I'm camping! But, not really.

I've been reading a whole bunch of Fushigi Yuugi, thanks to m'bud~ Ehm, I know I see some differences in the manga and anime... but they're very little. I mean, it's been a while since I've watched the anime but I can tell that they're kind of the same. I'm not bothered by it. I hate it when anime has to cut off the good parts in the manga. I HATE series like that... unless if they actually do a good job out of it.

Like, take Loveless. I was dead confused in the anime when Seimei just came out of nowhere (this was before I read the manga). But, now that I've read the manga (still need the last volume) I understand. But, the anime was so adorable... the manga was adorable. So, they win either way!

Uh... I can't quite think of a series that was butchered at the moment.. well, of course there are a lot of them. Like, Princess Princess (haha, I guess). And eh... oh whatever. I can't think right now but you get it.

Geez, I just checked the TV guide. Too much Avatar: The Last Airbender. I love the show but I've seen the Fire Nation book SO MANY TIMES. Go back to the older and better episodes. They were fun.

Uh, I haven't watched this week's Umineko yet but I will! Probably later today.

In other news: NYAF! Haha~ I do kind of want to see Yui Makino but I don't know her that well. I know that she voices Sakura from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and she sang a few songs but that's it. Ehhh... I dunno who else is gonna be there... and I've checked the NYAF website. They don't even tell you what kind of vendors will be there. CRIKEY!

But whatever. I can't wait to go! BAH! Why must it be next week!? *sighs* Which means I'm gonna have to survive another friday of the evil class *cries* Oh... why can't I have went to a real college?

Also, on a random note. I'm watching an LP of I Wanna Be The Guy. I've watched it a while back but I can't remember which LPer is was. I'm watching the one by Cloud8745... I can't remember if that was him back then. He kinda sounds familiar. Huh, well... he's fun to watch so I'll refollow him I guess.

I finally decided to consider rearranging the furniture in my room. So far, I've only moved my bed and I'm pondering over the fact if I should keep my insanely large drawer that's filled with nonsense. I only really use it to store old toys and shit from back in the days but now it's just filling up space that I really need (in order to move my bed right underneath my windows).

I'm not sure if I should keep the drawer. I do still need to store things in something but my drawer is to big for the job. M'mom suggested moving it to my dad's work space upstairs but I'd have to take one of his storage. Hn... well, there is one that I'd like but I feel bad 'cause m'dad has so much crap to put away and my drawer doesn't seem fit for the job. *grabs head*

But, now that I look at my room, it definitely feels like I have more room. The middle of my room is completely open and I get a good view of my TV across from my bed... and it's less of a hassle to get to my desk. Hwaa, I'd call it a victory for the day. Dunno if I'll be able to fix other things around today but we'll see.

*sighs* School tomorrow... I technically had the day of today since I didn't register for classes on Mondays. Tomorrow I really REALLY must visit the stupid registrar's place and get a frickin' graduation application. Yes... I definitely have to do it before my parents leave for Arizona next week.

Funny thing about that is... I don't feel as nervous going there. Usually I'm hesitant and never end up going there. But, this is something major. If I don't get to the registrar's, then I won't be able to register for any classes next semesters. That is so stupid. Could I get something in the mail for once?

Pff, but no. My school is going to totally rely on the internet because apparently, hard copied shit don't matter to them. *sighs* Whatever. Save the trees. I guess that's okay.

Textbooks are such a hassle. I should really start selling my books. I'll probably end up getting more than a hundred bucks for the 20+ books I have in store *loud snicker*

Whatever.

I hope this week doesn't end like it did last week. Oh god that was humiliating. Please don't let me relive that *sighs*

On one last note, I think it's really stupid how in every english class you have to sit in a frickin' circle... like you're in frickin' elementary school. I always say to myself that my college doesn't feel like a college. It just feels like another high school, only with more free time and shit. *sighs* Whatever.

I'm watching Evangelion. Interesting lil' show. Really intense for me, haha but that's okay. I should watch more Mecha-kind of animes.

And speaking of anime, I have a very strong urge to finish reading/buying the Fruits Basket manga. The series ends at volume 23, I believe. I stopped at 14 so... that's not that far away. I really want to display my manga more... and sell my crappy ones, haha!

Later, then.

Went by surprisingly fast(?) *shrugs* But anyway..

My classes are alright. Kinda went blah in today's class 'cause I frickin' HATE working in groups and I'm stuck with those who know each other. *grunts* Stupid girls. Plus, how was I supposed to work when everyone in the classroom's talking? Sheesh.

So far, I think I am going to enjoy 2D Animation, even though I am really confused with After Effects ^^; I'd like to work on it over the weekend... 'cept I don't have the program. Oh well.

So... yeah. I'm happy I can come home early on Fridays this semester. I always come home around 6PM where there're a lot of people on the road... not to mention it's holiday weekend so of course every single soul out there wants to get their tushie's back home. But, I had no trouble coming home. I frickin' LOVE it when there're no cars to worry about zooming past you.

3 day weekend! I'll probably like... find myself translating this Abyss Anthology book that m'friend gave me~ It's so weird, I know all the artists (well some) in the book and they've done yaoi doujinshi xD Pink Power is my absolute favorite one and they're in the book! *flails* I should look for the first volume 8D

I haven't watched Umineko yet 'cause I was tired last night. I had friends over but they never tire me out =) Haha, it was quite fun.

I have tried to find the Invader Zim DVDs and I can't find them anymore. They like... totally disappeared. Sheesh. It kinda makes me want to buy the figurines since I am currently obsessed with them xD I want MOAR.

Later then!

Well, I didn't have classes today but I wanted to get my stupid sticker smacked onto my ID so I didn't have to worry about it the next day.

I found all my classrooms alright and I bumped into a few people I knew from past semesters. They were off doing their thing while I had "stuff planned".

I just went to the usual places and took a lil' side trip to Rockefeller. I actually wanted to go 'n find that Nintendo store but I was too blind to even see it in front of my face. Plus, my feet were hurting so much so I decided to head on back to school where I stayed in the library for 3 hours reading Harry Potter.

When I came back hoommee, after meeting up with my frieeenndd, I took a nice cool shower, only to find that my left pinky toe has this red blister on it. I'm afraid to show it to my parents 'cause they're gonna be all, "OMG We must pop this monstrocity!" But it hurts a lot and I figured that if I decided to pop it it would hurt even more. *sighs* I'm gonna wear comfortable shoes tomorrow.

I didnt' feel like watching any Invader Zim, to much of my brother's dismay, haha. I felt like reading. Graaahh more reading! More Parry Hotter!hjkhgfdfa

So, tomorrow I have actual classes. Kinda nervous 'cause I know for sure we are going to have to introduce each other *grunts out loud* God, I hate when teachers do that. I really don't care about the other students *grabs head* NO. ARGH.

Well, at least I have a computer class tomorrow (yayz)

I am going to sleep now... first time in a VERY LONG TIME that I actually slept at 9PM. AHAW. I am very tired.... gotta wake up early again...

This week's Umineko... it's just a bunch of talking and confusing "alternate universe" mumbo jumbo. I dunno what's going on in Ryukishio7's mind but it's certainly confusing. Then again, the violent parts is what really gets me excited in his anime's. Haha, is that so much of a problem? Bah. But, it's still confusing to follow. I am still wondering why the hell Kanon just decided to have a frickin' knife for an arm? Like that hasn't been done before.

Onwards to Invader Zim! It's so nice to watch them again... nostalgic~ I am still missing Gaz, Taster of Pork episode. Can't seem to find it without downloading the whole series. *squirms* I don't remember if I actually watched in on TV before... I don't even recall what it's about anyway *shrugs*

In other news, I am slowly getting back to drawing but I'm having more trouble coming up with different poses. I keep drawing the same thing *sighs* I really wanted to draw a comic but I just don't feel much inspiration. Ah well.

Stuck in Wind Waker... I really REALLY want to get my frickin' bow and arrows. Geez. Is that so much to ask for?

Played like... 10 minutes of Abyss then shut it off. Not feeling into it. *grunts*

Slow slow week. Dunno why. I guess 'cause of life. Y'know how it is. *sighs* I think everything's back in order on my end. Hopefully *squirms around more*

Oh, and I've been on this nonstop reading mode for Harry Potter. *shrugs* At first, I just wanted to read the Half-Blood Prince 'cause the movie really pissed me off... then I started watching the first movie and thought, "I wanna read the book". And then the 2nd movie and so on. *grabs head* I'm reading my favorite book, Prisoner of Azkaban... 'cause of Sirius *nerdy grunt* And also, more Snape love plz? I wanted to read the last one but for some reason I didn't feel like reading a fat book >_> I guess I'll feel better after I reread the Goblet of Fire... or something. Bah.

Finally decided to play Cave Story! I figured I'd start playing more computer-ish games on my laptop... but only well known ones. I keep playing Untitled Story but I already know what to expect so it's not really surprising. It's really a fun game but it's very uh... meh(?!)

Anyway, I love Cave Story. The characters are too awesome. I do believe they are going to remake it for the Wii but I would love to play it on my computer xP Ah well. *pats Toshi*

In other news, I am awaiting my Invader Zimness =O

No idea why I decided to replay Wind Waker. I've probably played the beginning part so many times (and yet I do not recall any of that).

So, yeah. Stupid freaking bosses, haha. That's my fault though, I suck at Zelda-related games... except for Twilight Princess. I was the shit in that game =O Seriously! How the hell did I make it all the way to the Wind Temple so fast? My goodness.

I'm moving ever so slowly in Abyss, unfortunately. I managed to get Luke's cooking title. But those casino weapons are tearing me apaaaarthjsflds I could easily get the money but 2,500,000 casino chips for that Celcius weapon? Come on. That's insanity. I could get the other weapons easily but I wanna get that bad boy first. I bet they suck in battle, haha!

I hoping to get Radiant Mythology but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon *deep sigh*. Oh well. I shall be PSPless yet again *loud snort*

Anyway, yeah. Wind Waker. Freaking Valoo, love that dragon.

YEAH. I am watching the good ol' old episodes of Pokemon. Yes, back when there were, believe it or not, 150 Pokemon! Yes, kiddies of the new generation. Back then, there was no such thing as a Dialga or any Lucario's. Nope! NAH DAH.

M'friend let me borrow the first 26 episodes of the english Pokemon. And then I got thinking, "I wonder how much of a difference there is in the japanese version?" Well, not including the names, but also the song choices and the voices.

The Japanese make the show more dramatic. The songs were placed at different points in the episodes and Pikachu makes more noises! Unlike this englishy high pitched pikachu noise they stick in for no apparent reason.

So! I'll be a happy camper and watch those for the rest of my vacation.

MONSTER BALLS.

Oh, and I also picked out a few japanese words in the english version. HAHA. Ash's sleeping back says SATOSHI xD That made me giddy.

X-2 is full of craaaap. One minute you're on a roll with battles and the next, you find yourself running away from the enemies. GOD. The battles have no consistency. That's what frickin' annoys me with this game. I'm only playing it jus' so I can finally find out what the hell the story is.

In other news,

This week's Umineko was kind of disappointing. It was so boring. Where're all the violence, people? Makes me want to watch Higurashi more and more.

I'm, miraculously, still playing Tales of the Abyss, but every now and then when I'm in the mood. X-2 kind of stole the spotlight for the time being. I just need more Gald ^^; Blame Jade!sdkghlah

Lodoss War~! Wow, it's been 3 days since I last watched it. I've been reading instead *coughs* Yeeaahh... won't get into that lol
