I'm back! Sorta! T.T

Hi guys,
I'm sorry I haven't been on in such a long time. I seriously still have things to fill you guys in on from Halloween!! But I've just been busy and procrastinating doing it...So I'm probably still not going to get it done...Sorry...It's like all my teachers got together and decided that they should torture us students with project after project. It sucks T.T.
But Christmas is coming up soon!! And with it Christmas break...Unfortunately, our break is not going to be all that long because of how the days fall this year...We have Friday Dec. 24th - Monday Jan. 3rd off....That's a week and a day. Normally we would get at least 2 more days than that!! Next year's going be worse. It will just be the one week! Same as Thanksgiving break...which is rather insulting >.<
Anyway, for the most part, everything's going okay with me. My mom's pretty sick right now. She's in a lot of pain in her side. We think its her kidney or something, but the doctor's are now unsure and they haven't really brought her any solution to her pain...So if anyone could pray for her, it would be really nice!

PS: Thanks for worrying about me Kirstin :) I'm fine! (And I will read your story you posted soon, I promise ^^)

PPS: While I was writing this post, the toilet in my bathroom decided to overflow, and my room being in the basement directly below said bathroom, water starts gushing into my room....Literally GUSHING!! It was disgusting. It took me an hour to clean up plus lots of disinfectant and a hot shower. (I was seriously grossed out. I was on the verge of anxiety attack--hyperventilating and almost passing out. It was awesome *note the sarcasm* T.T

BBS and Demyx Time XD

Hi! Back with another post! Yay!

Uhmmm...what was I going to say?? Oh yeah! I finished all the Birth by Sleep stories (including Final Episode!) I also made two AMV's about BBS! (Terra's story mostly)
(WARNING! I included major SPOILERS for those who haven't finished the game!!)





Its so sad!!! DX
Anyway, another thing I wanted to mention: I was asked in a comment to get a dA (as in deviantart). I actually already have one: vampiresquid42 (I put up pretty much the same things as I put on here. The only difference is that you can see my favorite pictures by other artists there and not here...)
That's pretty much my username for everything, so chances are, if you see a vampiresquid42, its probably me ;P
So, I also have a YouTube account (obviously. Where else would my vids come from?) with the username: vampiresquid42...
I have a formspring as vampiresquid42...
I do have a facebook (not with that username), but I'm not friends with anyone I don't know personally (so no internet friends...sorry...) However, I'll accept friends at any of the other sites!

And, today I filled out my senior info stuff (that goes into the yearbook) and as my quote I put "TWILIGHT ISN'T LITERATURE!" and if you don't know where that's from...I pity your empty life...Okay, not really that dramatic...Its from Demyx Time on YouTube. They are hilarious! X3
(Here's the episode this quote came from! Warning: there is a bit of language...and Brit and emo abuse...)






Highschool Musical FTW XP
I WANT Zexion's shirt!!!

Ewww...homework this weekend...I have 3-4 page essay to write for English comparing Beowulf to a modern hero (I chose Dr. C. Walton. Lillehei -- one of the people who "invented" open heart surgery). I also have a lab write up for physics...
Then, I also have to clean my room. My dad threatened to throw out everything I own if I don't clean my room by next week...As an additional incentive, my parents bought me the Settlers of Catan game that I've been interested in for a while, but I can't open it and learn how to play until my room is clean...Grrrr...homework and cleaning...T.T
OK. Done complaining now.

Hmmmm....I think that's all...
TTFN!

Keyblade!

So, khconnect, whose blog I follow, had an intresting question which I'm surprised I haven't asked myself before...If you were a keyblade wielder, what would your keyblade look like and what would it be called? So, I brainstormed and designed my keyblade, and decided to design myself in the style of  a Kingdom Hearts Character ^^
 

If you want a closer look, I think you can click on the picture. 

The keyblade I designed kinda has a bunch of typical KH keyblade elements (chains, gems, wings) but I like it and I don't think I've seen any others like it. 

I named it Silent Thorn. Originally, it was going to be Silent Rose, but then there's another keyblade called Rumbling Rose, so I decided on "thorn." It just sounds cool X3

Oh, and I put Radiant Garden in the background because if I was in the game, I would want to live in Radiant Garden because its just a really cool place ^^ Its so colorful!!

I'm very purple. I like it :3

(Purple is my favorite color, if you couldn't tell...)

So, I will repeat the question to you guys: If you were a keyblade wielder, what would your keyblade look like and what would its name be? 

(You don't have to go overboard and draw it like I did. Just a description is fine)

Squid!

 ~otaku-chan~

PS: I have socks in my pocket, and for some reason that makes me happy :)

They're neon polka-dot socks...XP

PPS: I beat Terra and Ventus in BBS!! On the same night!! (Not tonight, it was a few days ago...) Why does Terra's story have to be so freaking sad?! D'X

 (SPOILER: I mean, his final battle is his empty armor with Terra's mind in it fighting against Terranort -- what kh-vids called Xehanort in Terra's body -- I mean, how much sadder can you get?! Terra!! Waaahhhh!!! END SPOILER)

Then, the Final Episode (which I got because my bro already beat all 3 stories), my reaction to just the first part (with Ventus and Aqua, before the battle) was "Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh. What the heck?! WOAH!! That's so COOL!!" -- All in one breath...I haven't gotten any farther though, because its making me use my brother's Aqua data (probably because I haven't beat mine yet) and he and I play VERY differently and its hard to adjust to all his commands and level and everything...Its frustrating...

Newest Pictures and Stuff

 So, the other day, there were these really cool clouds outside, so I took pictures to share the prettiness!

 

 

 I think I talked about the community fun day my church had in my last post. Well, I was on face-painting duty, and we had a really slow hour because another event was going on at that time. So I got bored and drew a rainbow and Gir on my arm.

 Next, I have some recent sketches I've done (Well, I've actually done more, but I didn't feel like scanning the ones in my notebook...so these are just the ones from my sketchbook that are finished)

 

Here I was testing out my new (at the time) manga pens. Its just a random fox-girl.

 

I was attempting to do different colored eyes that aren't the normal blue/brown or green/blue. It doesn't look great...  

Here is a little chibi picture of me X3

Chibi Zacky!!!

 

Here I drew Ventus in his armor from BBS. I was really stressed this week, so drawing something with a bunch of little details like this actually helped me de-stress. I definitely had to look at a picture for reference for this because I could never remember all those little details!

Next, I drew Terra in his armor from BBS. 

Speaking of BBS, I have yet to finish any of the stories. I haven't had much time to dedicate to the game. (Spoiler: I've gotten to Master Eraqus in Terra's story, but I can't freaking beat him. He kills me everytime with those gosh-darn columns of fire! I've noticed that when I can't win battles, I totally freak out. I yell, "You suck, Terra! You're so freaking slow! Come on! My grandmother can dodge faster than you!!" and to the boss I can't beat, "When I eventually win, you so deserve to die! Why do you have to be so freaking hard to beat! Gaaaahhhhh!!!" I seriously yelled for about an hour when I was trying to defeat him. Then I almost beat up my brother when he was trying to tell me how to beat him while talking in Yoda-speak. "Dodge, you must." Then I yell at him, "You only played it on beginner, you wimp! Don't try to tell me how to do things!" Ten minutes later, "Jacob! I need help!!!" XP :Spoiler End)

 Okay, funny conversation I had with my brother the other night--I randomly speak in odd voices when I'm hyper. So I did this voice that sounds like Master Xehanort inhaled helium. So, of course, I play along. We're watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and I see something and say random things like:

"When I was younger, I used to be the avatar. I could breathe fire out of my nose! Just like that!" *as Ozai looks like he's breathing fire out of his nose*

*four random old dudes on the screen*

"In the olden days, I used to look like that." 

Jacob asks, "Which one?" 

"All four of them. I had four heads you know!"

*really annoying Jacob now*

Jacob: "Do you want to die?!"

"You know, when I was younger. I died. Then someone brought me back and I died again...And here I am today..." *serious look on my face*

*Firelord Ozai appears and takes off his shirt to fight*

"Wow, he's buff."

Jacob: *looks scared* "That's disturbing..."

*Lucky Charms commercial*

"Vanitas, fetch me the leprechaun!"

Jacob: "Why do I have to do that?"

"Its magically delicious!"

"That was 100 years ago. When I was just a young'un of 65!"

"300 years ago, I used to know a hobo."

*Aang protects himself in rocks in his battle with Ozai*
"When I was younger, I used to live in a rock. I lived there for 200 years. No one noticed me at all..."*looks sad*

"I used to be a swimsuit model!"

*Momo appears*
"When I was younger, I used to be..."
Jacob: "Lemme guess. You used to be Momo?"
"I used to be Momo's mother!"

At that point, I crack up because its gotten so disturbing XD.

Anyway...Life news:
I applied to Messiah College last week! I still need to get the school to send in the transcript and I need to get my pastor to fill out a recommendation. But when that's done, its done and I'll know within 3 weeks of everything being in whether I'm accepted or not! Yay!

On Friday, we had off from school because of flooding (which was awesome!) Not so awesome was that my parents still made me get up early and try to get to Biotech. We drove around looking for a way across the creek between my house and the tech school, but every single road across the creek was flooded and I just went home. My dad still had to go to work across the creek though, so he stayed out for 1hr 30mins looking for a way across.
What was really sad was that apparently, an older woman of 55 was driving early in the morning and didn't see the water over the road. Her car got swept down into the creek and they tried to rescue her, but she died. So off from school equals good. Flood killing someone (plus destroying a bunch of peoples  basements and cars) equals not so good :(

I made a poll on my blog! (If you haven't already noticed).

And...This video is awesome and geeky and awesome...XD



So, final thing (I think). A friend of mine is having a Halloween party. Costumes are not "required" but most people are going to be wearing costumes. What should I be? I have my Ienzo cosplay ready. I have Reno (though I would prefer to have hair gel that actually works.) I could have Joshua if I can buy a blonde wig at some point (I don't have any money right now though...so that may be impossible). I have cat ears if I don't feel like doing anything complicated. I still don't have an Org. XIII coat, so I can't do anything with that unfortunately...I could go with something actually kinda Halloween-ish (like a witch or something) but that's kinda boring...Hmmm...I dunno.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's it for this post. I really need to sleep (I've been going to sleep around midnight for the past week or so and getting up at 6am...which is not good...)

Squid!

Doctor Who!

Leah: Thanks for the prayer :) And Terra is awesome XD. Birth by Sleep is one of my favorites of the Kingdom Hearts games (I haven't gotten far enough in the story to see if it is actually my favorite, but at least it is definitely up to original Kingdom Hearts standards of awesome! -- I don't know if that sentence makes any sense, but I don't really care...)

Kelsey: 4.2 is really good! We've just recently changed weighting of our GPA, so in past years I've been getting about 4.2-4.3 -- Different schools do all kinds of crazy things that I don't understand with our grades! >.<
Lion King is one of my favorite Disney movies. Lion King, Hercules, and Mulan are probably my favorites in terms of story and music X3
And don't worry, we won't go so far as killing each other...though Courgy-chan has threatened to cannibalize me before...it was really creepy...We were in Biology after a test and she wrote in her handbook "I'm hungry for flesh!" She's really odd...and it seemed every time she was in the library with me last year, she ended up looking up something on the internet relating to cannibalism...wow...y'know, this is really creepy when I think about it....Oh well, once you get to know her well enough, these things don't even bother you...

Kat-chan: Nyuuuuuuu!!! I lost the game!!!
Ahhh...James....XP
FLUFFY!!!
(Now has a scary image of Birdman in a fluffy apron...)

Rachel: well, I haven't updated in a while, so I had to make up for the missed time! Besides, this was nothing compared to my Creation and Kingdom Hearts posts XD
I think you'll really like BBS when Abby finally lets you play :P
Dealer-chan's sister did let me sit with them, but their lunch table was very crowded and I felt like I was intruding, so I moved...
Cosplay, YES!!

So, replies to people's comments are done! (Too long to put in the comments thing)
Recently, I've been totally obsessing over Doctor Who (which is not good timing--Its never good to have two obsessions happening at the same time, with school going on in the meantime...)
Anyway, if you haven't watched Doctor Who, you are missing out. I regret all those years that I never knew the show!!
Yes, it tends to give me really odd nightmares, but when I wake up, I'm like 'That was awesome!!' I love dreaming about things like that!
What's really cool about Doctor Who is that even though the graphics and effects are not all that great, its somehow endearing. Its kinda hard to explain. I think of it kinda like Star Wars (4-6). Those animations aren't all that good, but they somehow feel more legitimate or realistic that way. I just wasn't feeling the "better" graphics in 1-3...I don't know...Its just really weird....
And, it is the most bizarre story, but awesome at the same time (or "Brilliant!" as the Doctor would say XP). David Tennant is definitely my favorite of the Doctors I've seen so far (granted, I've only seen two others...so I don't have much to compare to...) But he is just amazing as the Doctor.
And the Daleks are just so WEIRD! They're, like, scary and almost-huggable at the same time. They are just so RIDICULOUS-looking that you have to laugh. I cracked up the first time I saw one, thinking 'What the heck?! What is that supposed to be?!' Then it started flying I lost it (they just kid of hover--it is so weird looking!!) And their weapons look like a plunger and a blender?! What the heck? How can something so ridiculous be so awesome?!



"You will identify first." - C
"YOU will identify first." - D
(Wow. Really T.T)

"You will identify." - C
"Daleks do not take orders." - D
"You have identified as Daleks." - C
(Doh.)

"Daleks have no concept of elegence"
"This is obvious."
(One burn point to the Cybermen!)

"You will defeat 5 million Cybermen with 4 Dalek?" - C
"We will defeat 5 million Cybermen with 1 Dalek!" - D
(That's a point to the Daleks)
 
"You are superior in only one respect." - D
"What is that?" - C
"You are better at dying." - D
(Oh! Double-burn!! The Daleks so win.)

(These are my thoughts when I watched this episode. One of my favorite arcs so far. This and the weeping angels with Amy and the 11th Doctor)

These are all just my random thoughts on the series. I have been watching the episodes all out of order, so I'm sorry if there are any spoilers.

I'm not really sure which partner I like the best. They're actually all pretty cool. Rose seems like she should be annoying, but you really grow to like her. Martha's kinda cool, but not my favorite. Donna is awesome. I just love her personality. She reminds me of myself in some ways...one of my favorite scenes with her:


(I just watched this episode today. I was seriously hysterical. It was hilarious!)

Satanic Waffle House XD

 Sooo...Its been WAY too long since I last updated and I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY for that!! Too much stuff has been going on (which I will get to below):

So, going in sorta random, sorta chronological order; Revelation Generation happened September 4th. It was pretty freaking awesome! I went with Kat-chan and Rachel (who I seriously need a nickname for because I call all my friends "chan" except for Rachel because I have no nickname!! Blonde-chan? I believe Kat-chan calls her Baka-chan, but she's not very baka...hmmm...anyway...)

What was I saying? Oh yeah! RevGen! I has pictures and videos of course!!













Twas a fun time :)

So, school started up on the 7th. So this week is actually my 3rd week of school (wow, hard to believe...Of course, the first week was only Tues, Wed, and Fri. We had Thursday off. This school year is good and bad.


Good:
-Senior year
-cool classes (Biotechnology -- at a nearby tech school, AP Government (I hate social studies, but the teacher is awesome!), Honors English (we're doing British literature, which I'm actually excited about!!), AP Physics (physics = cool, teacher = eh...something about her just doesn't sit right with me...maybe she's an alien...), AP Statistics (I didn't get the really awesome Stat teacher!! Grrr...I got the new one. Its her first year teaching and she switches between talking to us like we're experts in statistics to talking to us like we're in first grade! She seems nice enough, but its been boring enough that I fell asleep during our first test! I was freaking taking the test and I fell asleep!! ...This is going to be a long year)
-study hall (I have Rachel, Dealer-chan, and (on Tuesdays) Courgy-chan)
-Dealer-chan is in my Physics class, so that makes it fun
-8th period lunch -- Its nice because I go to Biotech, get back to my school in the middle of 2nd period, go to 3 classes, go to lunch, go to 2 classes, go home. My point is, if I make it to lunch, all I have to look forward to after that is physics and study hall!!

Bad:
-teachers...As I kinda already mentioned in my cool classes. The subjects are awesome. Teachers are okay. The only cool teachers are the Biotech, English and Gov't teachers.
-I don't see ANYONE in the morning!! (Because of Biotech, I have to leave at 6:50am and drive 30min every day to the tech school. In previous years, the whole BBM could meet out front of the school in the morning before school started. Now I can't do that because I don't actually get to my school until about 9:15!! It makes me really sad that most days, I don't ever see Kat-chan or Courgy-chan!!
-I have no one in my lunch period. The only people I know in there are Dealer-chan's sister, and Rachel's sister's friend! I sit at the "loser" table with all the other people who have no friends and we just sit every other seat, not next to each other, and eat in silence...usually while doing homework...=(

Actually, I talked to someone the other day. She was a freshman and I was drawing a picture of Aqua from BBS (which I will MOST DEFINITELY talk about later in this post XD) and she asked me who it was and we talked about Kingdom Hearts and anime and stuff. It was fun except I couldn't really hear her very well because its very loud in the lunch room and hard to hear what people are saying, even if they're sitting 2 feet from you...So I kept saying "What?" and "I'm sorry, I can't hear you!" and I felt really bad :(

Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, so school is OK. Not that bad, not that great. I'll get adjusted eventually...

Okay, AP classes are freaking cruel with their summer homework. I'm taking 3 AP classes this year and Biotech (which is a Duel-Enrollment course). They all had packets to do and they sucked!!! I spent pretty much the entire month of August working on those things for at least an hour a day and I was still cramming almost 2 entire packets in the last 3 days before school started! I was tired of school before I even got there!! I guess that's what being a senior is all about...

Oh! Really cool thing I learned! My school finally gave us our class ranks and GPA's.
Based off of grades from 9th-11th grade, my GPA is 4.5601 (our school has a weighted grading scale) and my class rank is 6th out of 381 students!!!! I FREAKED OUT when I heard this!!! (Well, I actually just freaked out on the inside...My mom told me and I was like, "Really? Cool." Then I went to my room and did a little victory dance/jump/squeal/thing. I pretty much spazzed out...)

Uhm...Thinking of what else I wanted to say...
Shippensburg! I visited Shippensburg University with Kat-chan. Twas fun. Rides there consisted of much talk about the Satanic Waffle House...Very long story...Ending in Lucy's brother James running a very cute interdimensional waffle house with his partner Sebastian, his best friend -- Rose the demonic fern, and his little servants resembling the accounting trolls from the Dilbert comics. There was also talk of Nuclear Hellfire Waffles and epic crossovers...Speaking of which, I did draw James and Rose, I don't know if its the same as you pictured him, and I haven't colored it yet, so I will put it in another post. Sorry!
(For now, here's a picture of Gir eating waffles X3)

This weekend was amazingly fun! On Friday, we had the joint birthday party for Kat-chan and Rachel. It was at Rachel's house and lots of people came. There was much noms and dancing and singing (of Disney songs mostly XD)
Funny story, I was at my church community day, which was on Saturday. Rachel's neighbors go to my church and Mrs. W said to me, "Hey, Kaitlyn, were you at a party last night?"
I laughed, "Yeah, did you hear us?"
"Yeah...I think it was something from the Lion King?"
"Yep. That was us."
You see, that's just how awesome we are XP
Oh, and Rachel got some awesome cosplay stuff! She has pretty much her entire Demyx cosplay set.
Speaking of which, I realized in the shower (of all places) that my mother had a lab coat that she had used for a microbiology class she was taking. So, I thought, 'Wait, I have a lab coat and a Zexion wig. Duh! I can do Ienzo!!!' And so now I have an Ienzo cosplay. And that is that.

So now, finally to my otaku-related news.

 This is pretty much all consisting of Birth By Sleep talk. My brother got it for his birthday and we've been sharing it, so I'm not very far. I actually am playing as Ventus, Terra, and Aqua kinda simultaneously and I'm at Deep Space with Ventus and Aqua and Neverland with Terra. The game is AMAZING!! I love it so much! Much better of a game than 358/2 Days. I mean I liked that game, but it was not nearly up to other KH game standards. But I really love the fighting styles in this game and my Zacky is in it so that just has to make it amazing!! (I had major fangirl attacks every time I went to the Colosseum and saw Zack. He's just too CUTE!! He's so little with the same personality and trying to hit on Aqua! Its just so cute!!)

 Anyway, this game is one of the reasons I haven't been updating. When I'm not doing homework, I'm playing the game (I lost the game DX).
Me and Courgy-chan had a fight over Vanitas. I had called him a while ago to my brother, but not publicly, so apparently, she had called him too. So we were arguing in the school parking lot. She followed me to my car and stood behind my car and wouldn't let me leave until I admitted Vanitas was hers. It lasted about five minutes. I had turned my car on and put it in reverse, but she still would not move. I gave in. I said she could have Vanitas if I could have Terra (whom she had called at the end of last school year). She agreed.

(Rachel, I know Abby called Terra, but like you said at your party, she's more like an honorary member of the BBM, so I am fine with calling the same people as her -- Zero and Terra for example.)
These are seriously the kinds of fights my friends and I get into. We almost run each other over for rights over fictional men ;)

I believe that's all I wanted to say in this long update post...Sorry for so many words...

~Squid!
otaku-chan

PS: In case you were wondering, Ienzo is little somebody-Zexion from Birth by Sleep. 

PPS: Lots of things going on with my family recently. My brother's birthday was recently. He got cool new games and the party was fun! My little sister, on the other hand, is not doing so well. She dislocated her knee at school. At first, we just told her to walk it off, because her joints get dislocated easily because she has a genetic disorder that causes your ligaments to be looser than they should be. But, it didn't get better, so they went to the doctor and it turns out that, along with having the ligament problem, her knee cap is not the right shape and so it doesn't fit right in her joint, further adding to the dislocation problem. They said that she can't do sports with lots of pivoting (so no soccer or basketball for her) and she'll have to really work up the muscles to prevent this problem from happening over and over. They said she'll probably have to have surgery on her knee at the age of 10 and she'll almost certainly have arthritis in her knee when she's older. I feel so bad because she managed to get handed down all the worst genes that run in my family and she's just got rotten luck. But otherwise, she's as happy and goofy as ever. She'll be fine...Just, can you guys keep her in your prayers?

PPPS: I've been totally obsessing over this song recently and have had it stuck in my head so much!

SuperGeek to the Rescue!!

Lols XD
So, today, I went shopping for school clothes and got lotsa cool shirts and jeans and such.
When I got home, I got a call from Kat-chan asking me if I wanted to go see a musical. I said sure, why not. After a complicating chain of calls (we really need conference call features on our phones....) Kat-chan, Courgy-chan and I went to see "13 the Musical"!! It was epically funny X3
What made it even funnier was that...(hmmm...I'll call him Jock -- he played the jock in the play, which was funny because he's a nerd with the rest of us in real life) Jock was in the play. There was an interestingly awkward scene with them in the movie theater and Jock ended up kissing the Cripple-guy (he played cripple in the play, I'm not just being mean...) and it was so hilariously awkward. I saw it coming a mile away, but I'm thinking, 'No. They can't possibly pull a SasuNaru' (y'know, in one of the first episodes they get knocked into each other...) Then, at the end of the play, they all jumped of the stage (which was epic--then it made me think of the end of High School Musical...hmmm...)
Anyway, musical was funny. Kat-chan let me borrow her fedora XD! I sat between Kat-chan and Courgy-chan, so there were much hugs from Courgy side and many remarks from Kat side. Then, after the play, Jock came out to mingle with the audience. He hugged Kat and Courgy and said he didn't know me, so Courgy introduced me as "Kaitlyn. She's the one who makes keyblades"
Jock: "Oh! I heard about you!"
Me (thinking): 'Geez, Courgy what have you been telling him??'
Then he asked me to make him a keyblade. I said no because I still need to make my brother's oathkeeper and I has no money for supplies and I has lotsa homework left to do...Then, he says, "Well, at least make me the souleater" (Riku's keyblade/sword thing) as if making that is SO MUCH simpler than making a keyblade!

Courgy-chan said that she could give me money for it and she could give it to him for his birthday. That might work, but Kat-chan or Rachel: Do either of you know his birthday, so I can decide whether its possible or not? (I don't even know if she's being serious, but if she is, I may be willing to do it if she pays enough for supplies at least -- they are surprisingly expensive!)
So, yeah...
Oh! Interesting quotes:

"Calling Sephiroth metro-sexual is like calling Neji metro-sexual!....Wait. Bad example..."

"Supergeek to the rescue!"

And Kat-chan, Rachel, Courgy-chan (if you ever read this), and Dealer-chan (if you ever read this) -- We MUST MUST MUST go to Otakon next summer and we MUST MUST MUST cosplay. I already have my:
-Reno cosplay mostly set (aviator goggles would be nice...and does anyone know of a good hair gel that actually makes spikes instead of just making my hair look greasy?)

-I have my Joshua shirt and jeans and all I need is the blonde wig (I don't overly care about the shoes...)

-I'm still working on my Cooro cosplay. I have the shirt things ready. Now, I need yellow fabric for the boots and the aviator hat-thingy (I have the patterns for both of these) and feathers, and the aviator goggles again... I think I can make do with my hair for this one. I have the right style (with a little hair gell and braiding)...not necessarily the right color, but I want to limit my wig-use on a hot summer day whenever possible...I still haven't decided if I'm doing wings or not...he doesn't always have wings...and they would be rather bothersome...Maybe around Halloween I'll check if Wal-Mart or Target have any decent black wings for costumes...T.T

~otaku-chan
PS: Rachel, if you can't tell who Jock is, I believe I called him Fanboy in an earlier post. He goes to Courgy-chan's church...if you can't tell from that....I can't do much else for you XP

PPS: Speaking of shoes (I was actually speaking about shoes when I was talking about my Joshua cosplay) I got new shoes today that I LOVE! They're kinda a converse-copycat brand, but they're still awesome. Here they are right here:

And I also ordered a pair of actual Converse (because they didn't have the kind I wanted in my size -- I needed a size 10...I got big feet...). They looked like this:

They has PURPLE!!! XD

Woah...

Just realized that in Sanctuary (Utada Hikaru's KHII Theme Song - English) The nonsense stuff that she says:

"wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I"

"snwod dna spu ynam os
My heart's a battleground
snoitome eurt deen I

Its not actually nonsense. Well, originally, I thought it was Japanese, but then I realized it wasn't and I didn't look further than that. Now, several years of knowing the song, I finally actually look up the lyrics.
She's actually saying things backwards (or the recording is made backwards)!!!!

"I need more affection than you know"

"So many ups and downs
My heart's a battle ground
I need true emotions
I need more affection than you know
I need true emotions"

I was like "Woah. Mind Blow!" (even thinking it in the Demyx Time Xigbar voice...)
Just thought I'd share X3

Mah Room

Oh my gosh! Two posts in one night!! 0.o
Kinda inspired by Kelsey Montgomery's post about her room: I've decided to post pictures of my own room because you've see some of it in pictures I took on my webcam of my hair or something, but not very good ones. I've become quite proud of my room!

The north-ish side of my room (its acutally facing more NE). I got my dresser with cosplay wigs and iHome, Naruto poster on my door, my mirror, my kitty calender X3, my Relient K poster (that I got from Creation) 

 

The west-ish side of my room: I call it anything from my poster wall to my anime wall to my inspiration wall. Its one of my favorite walls in my room XP. Most of the "posters" are just full page pictures I cut out of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazines that my brother left behind on the bookshelf (they're those big stacks of magazines on the bottom shelf). Some are real posters - like the Ouran, Naruto, and Final Fantasy I & II ones. The rest are just what I scrounged up out of what I had, be it magazines or game manuals or calenders.
There's also my couch with my tiger and my Tigger and my desk covered in random papers and crap.
Also on this wall is my bookshelf, which I chose to take pictures of because its colorful and maybe someone cares what the contents of my bookshelf are...I dunno...T.T
Oh, and the paintings on top of the bookshelf are paintings I did in art club in middle school. I like them, so I keep them up there :)

The south-ish side of my room: I've got the tetris wall that my older brother designed for the room when he lived here, then he moved out for college and I got the cool room X3. I have my TV, my random stuff undre my TV, my "craft corner" where I keep cardboard and fabric and such that I may need for future projects, exercise stuff, golf clubs (I'm on my school golf team XP), my fuzzy purple robe. You can also see mah kitteh! His name is Cosmo, but I sometimes call him Pablo. He is my ninja kitteh!!

This is the east-ish side of my room: Its got my closet, my keyblades, my bed, my lamp, etc. It also has many pictures on the wall, all of which are hand drawn by me, Courgy-chan, Dealer-chan, my brother, and my sister.

Thanks for caring! And if you didn't care, thanks for sticking it out til the end and still reading this! XP
Squid!

PS: I live in the basement. In case you were wondering why I have no windows...T.T
