Career crisiiiiiiis

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:52:43 GMT

First of all, I realize that I'm 'young and don't need to be worrying about this now, because I can always change my mind and crap later!' Okay? I REALIZE THIS. THANKS BUT NO THANKS.

Anyway, I'm stuck between two drastically different career paths at the moment. I've always thought I'd go for journalism and get a job as a copy editor for some magazine/publisher/website/something. It's something I'm good at that has a market for moolah. However, I've always had a problem with being contained and a 'desk job' or 'having a cubicle' has always seemed like looking at a cage to me. Some people might be okay with living in a cage, but I'm not. I'm not sure I like the idea of a 9 to 5 job.

AND for a long time I've known that I was going to cosmetology school, and I still want to. I still plan on it. I even have a school picked out (Paul Mitchell, if you're wondering). I kept thinking I'd like to be a movie studio special effects makeup artist, or just a hair stylist. That's okay, too. I like doing all of it. And recently, I've been advancing up a bit through my dance studio, and I think most of you know that I'm now in a dance troupe (not just a class, but a performing troupe), and don't plan on stopping any time soon. I keep imagining myself teaching a class and how fun it would be, so I've considered that as a career option (combination dance teacher+cosmetologist).

But this brings me back to COLLEGE. Obviously, as a copy editor, college is needed. I've never considered NOT going to college to be an option. There's nothing wrong with people who don't, but I'd feel like a failure in life if I didn't. HOWEVER. Being a dance teacher is done through Isis, and the hairstylist/FX makeup artist is done through vocational school and practice. I don't technically NEED any college for that path. So then I'm thinkin, huh, no college for this path, which I can't decide is good or bad. THEN THEN THEN I thought that I could go to college, not to specialize in a field that I wish to get a career in, but to get degrees and stuff in areas I like (ie, history). This plan sounds a helluvalot more fulfilling than my 'editor plan' if you get what I'm sayin.

So then I get stuck between editor, journalism, desk job; and cosmetologist, dance teacher, as many history degrees as I bloody want, more liberal environment. And then there are little things that get in my way, such as how I like dressing how I want and having my hair weird, tattoos and piercings and bein cool looking, but I can't see a publishing company being too down with that. However, I know a lot of salons are totally cool with that (my hair dresser, Donny, looks like a convict, bald + tattoos + Hogan moostache). And that also kindofsortof gives me the option of, if I get hired by a theater or movie studio or something, of putting makeup on famous people, which would be really awesome. ~~And yes, I'm shallow like that.~~

As an editor, I'd probably have a more secure place in life, but I'm not sure I could deal with some of the little things. As a famouspersonmakeupartist and dance teacher with a history back ground, I'd be more fulfilled on the inside, but I'm not sure how much money I could bring in with that and live the way I want. And don't tell me 'there's more to life than money.' I don't want to hear that, either.

So my mama rescued a stray doggie.

And HOLY SHIT HE'S FUCKEN HUGE.

It's this GINORMOUSLJDFJLDSJf German Shepard puppy — PUPPY, LIKE EIGHT OR NINE MONTHS OLD, AND IS AS BIG AS A WORG — and his name's Lucky. He's uber friendly and happy and peppy and obedient. But my dogs hate him. We've got him in our backyard while Baby and Tinkerbelle are locked in the house. We called the number on the tag and I think Mom's gonna call the pound or something, but I just wanna PLAY WITH HIM HE'S SO CUTE AND SO FUCKING HAPPY.

And it's a boy. I just made the title that because it was convenient.

Okay, that's a little dramatic. But still. I'm usually good in school at all the subjects that I consider to matter in life: English, History, Science. For the most part, there isn't much comprehension. It's just memorize, regurgitate. But now I've been put in a math class and I keep failing everything, and since I have to do a lot at home, I fail at home, and then I don't even have a teacher to help me and tell me what I did wrong. It makes me feel so freaking stupid. :/

Been awhile, ain't it?

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:20:30 GMT

Well, public school hasn't been the nightmare I imagined it would be. I mean, I still think most of it's asinine ('Drake, you can't have pepper spray. It's a weapon.' 'Drake, you can't have a pocket knife, it's a weapon.' 'Drake, you say 'good morning' when someone says it to you.' 'Drake, say the pledge of allegiance with everyone else.'), but I get work done much faster. I've already finished three classes. :D I have like, 18 more credits to finish, but hey, I'm workin on it. Also, my Biology teacher is a Trekkie, so we get a long pretty well. And my English teacher is a fantasy nerd, so we're always geeking out about LotR. And I'm the only redhead in my class, so it makes me feel special.

I got invited to the Angels of Isis, which is one of Isis's dance performing companies, so YAY. First meeting on October seventh! *dancedance* I might be going to the dance party (haffla) on Saturday, but I don't wanna go alone, so I'm considering bribing Genny/Taryn to go with me with a promise that I'll buy their tickets. I told Annie, one of the teachers there, that I didn't want to go because I don't really have any 'dance friends.' And she was like, "Oh, don't worry! I'll sic my son on you! He's intelligent and funny and blhaskjdfljsd.' And then I was like O_O Um... does it sound like I'm being pimped out, or what? No. So I'll try to bring my own friends instead of having one 'sicked on me.'

Also, might see the new Star Trek movie again in the dollar theater on Sunday. Only because I want to see Chekov running through the Enterprise going I KEN DO ZAT I KEN DO ZAT! AUGH he's so cuddly! I JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE HIM AND KEEP HIM FOREVER. ...Is that creepy of me?

MyHeritage: Celebrity Collage - Geneology

Okay, I'm ready for Merlon to move out now.

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:16:37 GMT

Long story short, my brother has absolutely no respect for me. He has his stupid, loud, obnoxious friends over practically every day, ALL day, so I'm always having to run back to Mommy's room to do my homework because I can't concentrate because they're too DAMN LOUD. All they do is play video games and computer games and blast their crappy music and laugh and yell at the top of their lungs and I'm TIRED OF ITTT.

I've been sick lately. Not horribly ill, but I've had a nasty cold of some sort since I came back from A-fest. For some reason it hit its peak today, so all I do is lie in bed in pain, drink mint tea, and watch kid movies. However, I have a class due tomorrow, so I have to finish that today, whilst I feel like death warmed up. And as I'm starting, Merlon comes back home from his class of the day, with his stupid friends and their stupid loud laughter and their stupid video games. So, while I'm distracted with feeling like crap, I have to put up with THAT, too.

So what do I do? Cry to Ada. Merlon and his friends are just kind of like 'psh whatever shut up, Drake' when I complain about their noise level, but they listen when Daddy tells them whodunnit and wutfor. So Dad tells them to be quieter because I'm trying to finish English, and I feel like crap. And they agree. For a little while. And now, once again, they're in there being obnoxious, and Daddy's gone so I can't give him puppy dog eyes and ask him to kick them out. Mom's too much of a dork to kick them out.

So I'm frustrated and tired and feeling crappy and can't concentrate on my class. Why can't Merlon have just a modicum of respect for me, especially when I'm sick? I do all kinds of shit for him when he's sick, not to mention I never have loud, disruptive friends over. So why won't he just show a little sympathy and for one day — ONE DAY IS ALL I ASK — keep his friends away so I can live in peace? Just once!

*collapses of stress and ill and anger* *pathetic sniffle*

Cheat? Me? ...Only a little. Also, holy crap.

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:45:28 GMT

Or maybe a lot.

Anyway, I've started public school. Started last week, actually, but I've decided to blog about it now because I'm a dork like that. Anyway, the system is set up on the computer, and all you do is listen to a 'lecture,' take a quiz, take a test, and you're done with that section. Bing, bang, boom. There're only like, ten sections in a course, so ideally, if you put in like eight hours of school a day on one subject, then you could finish a course in like, two days. But I'm not quite that dedicated.

Anyway, the quizzes are multiple answer and essay questions, like any other. However, the computer doesn't have a good way of grading essay questions. Once you 'turn it in,' and it automatically grades it, it just gives you a recommended answer. If you did or didn't have that answer dun matter; it counts it as correct anyway, since it can't tell the difference. So unless you miss a multiple question answer, then you're guaranteed a 100%. The teachers don't go back and look at the answers, so ideally you could just put 'ljsdjkldjflskdjfuck shit damn spock Mr. Watson is a douche bag sdlkjfsl' and it would count the answer as correct. AHAHAHA.

Now, to the cheating part. You can 'pre-test' through sections by taking the quiz at the end. If you get at least a seventy, then you don't have to do that section of the course. It skips you through it. So I've been pre-testing the shit out of Biology because I just Google the answers. AHA. Then I type the answers in a Word document and save them for studying later. All they do with the tests is take the questions from the quiz and transfer them over, so I can just copy-pasta my answer. AND THE TEACHER WILL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T CHECK THEM. AHAHAHA. But I remember everything I put in, so I'm learning something, too, I'm just doing it faster than normal. : D

AND THE TEACHERS DON'T NOTICE. As long as you look 'engaged' in your work, then they don't bother you. They walked right by me numerous times as I was copying down the answers to the tests, and did nothing. I had Google open, looking up the answers with them over my shoulder, AND THEY DID NOTHING.

So really, I don't feel bad about this at all. I need to fly through these courses to catch up, and as long as I'm remembering what I put in for the answers, then yay me. : D

Okay so my mom's friend emailed her about something that happened to her. Apparently she was at home cleaning, and someone taped a flyer to her door. She thought nothing of it, and went on cleaning. Then a man in a red Pontiac came up to her door and banged on it very loudly. She didn't answer because she didn't know him, so he went away. Then the car came back, and the PASSENGER came up and banged on the door. She was really nervous at that point. Then she heard her back gate slam and saw shadows of men around her pool in the back yard, so she locked all the back doors and called the police. She got the car license plate and the description, and the police chased them, but didn't catch them. This happened in my town. REALLY close to my house.

So now I'm kind of nervous of being alone. T_T I don't think anything will happen, but since I'm the only one home, I locked all the doors, closed all the blinds, shut the curtains and whatnot. I know on the security console there's a button that summons the police, and I know Daddy's gun is in his sock drawer, and to not answer the door if it's someone I don't know, but I'm still paranoid haha.

My school ID!

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:10:53 GMT

I bragged about how I made a snarky expression and got my ID taken in my Slytherin uniform, and now there's proof! ...Kind of.

Yee yeah.

You get to listen to Drakie bitch about his life yaaaayy!

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:36:11 GMT

Just a short little emo moment here. I'm just tired of my dad being ill. Not tired in the 'goddamn why won't he just get fucking better?' way but in the 'I'm tired of him hurting all the time' way. Cancer twice, open heart surgery, lost use of his left hand, can't walk faster than a grandma stride, gout, heart working 1/3rd the amount it should... It's just been weighing down on me lately. I mean, when I think about it I get a little sad, but lately the gout in his hand got infected.

From what I understand without looking it up, gout is caused by a rapid increase or drop in uric acid levels, causing crystals to form in the joints. All my dad's medicines fuck with his uric acid levels, so he's constantly gouting up. And of course, it's in his RIGHT hand! His left hand is a dead fish, and he can barely use his right one half the time to do more than henpeck emails and wipe his ass. And now the gout in his finger is infected, so he can use it LESS. I had to make his breakfast for him this morning and I could tell he was just utterly shamed that he couldn't even spoon rice into a bowl. It's very depressing to watch. We were gonna play WoW this morning, but I don't think he can because he can barely touch anything. I'm not sure he'll be able to play D&D tomorrow either. ~~And now everyone realizes how much of a dork Drake really is.~~

Anyway, I told myself I wouldn't make this LJ way too whiny, so I'll stop here. I was just venting I guess. :] I don't expect anyone to really read this, so I'm not gonna ask for hugs or anything.

Slytherin-Themed Converse Came in!

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:00:29 GMT

I'm so pleased with them. I think I'll never take them off. Yes, I shall sleep in them.

Tadaaaa.

This is the outside of my shoe. You can kind of see the writing on them.

WHABAM. That's the SLYTHERIN stitched in. :D It's on both outside panels of the shoes.

The top. Not that exciting.

And this is the print I used. See, they had grey as color choices, but it seemed really dull to me to just have grey in there. THEN I SAW THE SKULL ARGYLE AND WAS LIKE YES. It's badass (very fitting of Slytherin), AND has Slytherin colors in it. Win/win.

And last but not least,

me being extremely pleased with my new Converse tennis shoes. :]

WHAT Y'ALL THINK?

Tell your boyfriend if he says he's got beef that I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fuckin scared of him.

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:55:18 GMT

Animefest excitement anyone? I know I made a video about it...

But I just learned that mah buddy won't be comin in for the con. Therefore, I've ordered a Mikami wig and will just Death Note it up. Again. Sigh. I like Death Note, but I was really tryin to deviate from it a bit. xD I could ideally go in a Hogwarts costume or Zuko or something. But at A-kon there was a serious lack of Avatar cosplayers, and while it would be fun to sneer at everyone and call them Mudbloods, I'd probably have the same issue: lack of Hogwarts cosplayers. So I'd be sort of alone. HOWEVER I know there are always tons of Death Note cosplayers, and while it makes me less unique, it means I fit in with a crowd I can hang with because we're all from the same show, ya dig?

So yes. That's my plan. My wig will come in some time this week, and I'll be sure to camwhore plenty. Also, my Slytherin-themed Converse should be here tomorrow, which I'm also excited about. :D

School pictures.

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:27:26 GMT

Just got e'm taken.

In my Slytherin uniform.

I know you're all very impressed. :]

The coffee's for me, actually.

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:07:48 GMT

Hahaha every time my dad and I go to see a movie at the Studio Movie Grill, I order coffee. However, the person who takes and orders and the person who delivers the food is different, so every time we order, the server tries to give my dad the coffee and me his diet Pepsi. We're both like 'um ew' and switch. I just find this funny because my dad hates coffee more than he hates Obama, and it always baffles everyone when I order coffee at a restaurant and my parents order like, Coke and stuff.

Also uber excited about my costume design for Infinitusss. HPDFW is going to rock the house next year, so beware. Totally jealous of all the HPDFW-siders (if anyone knows what I did there, then KUDOS TO YOU) who got to goooo. I hate missin out on funtiems.

Oh, and to those who remember/care, I got accepted to the charter school and will start on the twenty-forth. Sigh. I'm excited and bummed at the same time. I have to wear a uniform WUTWUT SADFAIS.

Tattoos?

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:05:33 GMT

I was thinking of getting a tattoo some time. Over the years I've gathered quotes that I know for sure I want inked, and so far I haaaaave...

"Life is too short and death is too long." I heard this line in a show called Dead Like Me, and I hadhadhad to write it down. It was like three years ago and I still can't get enough of this quote. I write it on all my drawing pads. xDD *dork*

"Vicariously I live while the whole world dies." This is actually a line from a song called Vicarious by Tool. I heard it a couple years ago I think, and it really struck me.

"When the rich wage war it's the poor who die." I've had more than one family member die in the war. They're not technically family since they're just good family friends, but the adults have known my grandparents for like a million years, and their kids have known Merlon and I for a million years, so they're basically family. So this quote is kind of for them. :]

"Some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses/ Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office." The singer says both, and I can't decide which I like better, but I've always believed this to be true. It's a line from the song Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine. They have very... controversial rap. xD

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt said that. My dad has told me this all my life because I used to be a real sensitive kid (I've mostly grown out of it), and it's just kind of a mantra for me. xD

"...As small as a world, and as large as alone." This is actually part of a poem by E.E. Cummings. This line made so much sense to me for some reason. I can't quite figure out how I relate to it, I just know that I do. xD The whole poem can be found here.

Anyway, I've also been thinking about images I've wanted, and at the moment all I have is the Texas lonestar (this graphic), and of course, the Dark Mark. Which looks like this if you weren't aware. xD

Now, Nate had tried to talk me out of getting the Dark Mark, because he thinks I'll regret it because 'you won't be a Death Eater forever!' but I have to disagree. xD I'm not wanting it because OH IT'S SO AWESOME AND LOLOLOL I'M A DEATH EATER. Well, it IS awesome, but it's more what it symbolizes than just the picture itself, if that makes sense. Um. I just know I want a/some Harry Potter tattoo(s) because it really has been a huge part of my life and my recovery (which I won't get into), and I wouldn't be alive without the HP world and all its awesomeness, so I really want to commemorate that. I was also thinking of the Slytherin crest, because no one knows how fucking proud I am of being sorted into Slytherin, but I might decide against that later. I just feel like an HP tattoo is something I need to do. xD

I've also been considering tattoos for my family members like my dad and my brother (don't really wanna get one for Mom). My dad is my favorite person in the world, so I know I have to get something for him. I just can't decide what. >: My mom already got a tattoo of Pooh Bear for him, because that's his favorite Disney character (it's of Pooh tapping his head and going 'think, think, think...'), and so that's out. BUT I CAN'T DECIDE. I don't want to get like, a portrait or something done cause that's what Merlon's doing. I HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT. The only things that remind me of my dad are Indiana Jones (my dad's hero), and... well, that's about it. xD I was thinking of a phrase he says really often. I've got 'Push-ups! I recommend push-ups!' 'Fargenbastages,' and, 'Hey, babe. It is babe, isn't it?' Some of those are also movie quotes from movies we both like, so that'd be funny, too. x]

I don't know why I'm blogging about this. xD It's just been on my mind. My mom's getting a tattoo of a dragon like this one for me once I graduate. She already got one for Merlon (Roman numeral 3, or III). Anyway, that's all. If you read this far, then Jesus Christ, you don't have enough to do. Go make yourself useful.

Harry Potter Party Pictures!

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:22:30 GMT

I only have three, but they're quite amusing, methinks.

hahaha gotcha. No naked Malfoys.

But Draco did get sent to Azkaban. :/

And his tie did get screwed up with the green screen.

And him and Harry did pose for a picture, scowling.

The end!

Gender therapist?

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:15:18 GMT

Yuppp. In a couple months, I will probably be seeing a gender therapist. :] I'm excited. My parents and I all think that some of my past and present depression/dissatisfaction with life has to do with some gender dysphoria, and that I just haven't been going to the right physcho/chiatrists. There's a gender therapist near me in the area (and they're in the gayborhood, how awesome is that?) and Mom says after Grammy leaves on Friday and after I get set up with public school that she'll make an appointment for me to see him. I hope it works.

Also, I babysat my toddler-age cousins yesterday with my brother, and good lord, I was happy to receive twenty-five bucks for it, but my cousins are hellions. O_o Every second they're bouncing off the walls, screaming, bossing us around, demanding things, and generally being obnoxious. Now I've seen some rowdy kids, but I think Alex and Emily take the cake. At least they mind when we tell them stuff.

But my aunt and uncle don't discipline them like, at all. Occasionally they'll tell them not to do something, but they never taught them to not interrupt when the adults are talking, to use their INSIDE VOICE, and to calmthefuckdown. I asked Mom if Merlon and I were like that when we were their age, and she's like 'Nooooo. Y'all had yer moments, but we didn't let y'all stay that loud and that obnoxious for very long. Y'all knew it was unacceptable to scream inside the house and interrupt the adults.' xD So we were moderately well-behaved children, I suppose.

Bleaching my hair... le sigh...

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:20:08 GMT

Yes. I'm going back to public school in the 'fall' (which is technically still summer in Texas, but whatevs). I'm scared. >: I haven't been in public school for three years. Junior high and high school were hell, and I'm afraid of the same experience. T_T It's charter school, so it's only four hours a day and it goes really fast and it's all in one classroom with not many people and all your work is on a computer, so it's not social much at all, so hopefully it'll be different. I'm just worried that the administration will once again have an aversion to me. .-.

And, being public school, I'm not allowed to have green hair. So I have bleach in my hair at the moment. I look like a Malfoy currently, since it's all turning bright platinum blond. But I'll be dying it red shortly after I wash it out, so then I'll be a Weasley. : D

Mmph. I dun wanna go back to public school, but I won't be able to graduate if I don't. WHAT IF EVERYONE HATES MEEEEE. *wibble*

Summer shouldn't exist.

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 22:36:19 GMT

This is what I've decided. It's far too hot and humid. I can't walk to the mailbox without sweating. >: I can't even drive well because the wheel (not to mention EVERY OTHER CONTROL INSIDE THE CAR) is too fucken hot. I have to wear gloves if I'm gonna drive. And I still manage to sweat even with the AC on full-blast. HEAT SUCKSSS. HOW CAN PEOPLE LIKE SUMMER?

I'm not checking my mail till November. Till then, you can find me living in the freezer.

Also, my friend Michelle keeps Twittering (tweeting, whatthefuckever) about what's goin in in Iran with the Basijis and stuff. Before I wasn't too interested in what was going on, but goddamnmichelle, she keeps posting links that I CAN'T NOT CLICK ON. The fact that she says 'explicit images' just makes me want to click it moreee. And then I do and then I get sadfais. Never before have I seen what an axe wound looks like, but goddamn, i will never forget. Random people just get shot.

I watched one video of a college or something where students were being sniped at and the video was of them trying to save these two boys who were just shot. One was bleeding from the head, the other from between his hipbone and groin, right there on the hip flexor. They were using belts as tourniquets and stuff to try and save them whilst gunshots are rattling in the background. It's so touching and sad and while I don't cry, I was still like O.O hand-over-mouth-eyes-wide-like-a-deer-in-headlights face. It's so terrible.

Oh, and obligatory tribute to Jacko. ilu4ever. And while I told way too many bad MJ jokes, I really will miss him.

Workout buddies? AND siblings!?

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:51:36 GMT

Y'all are prolly sick of hearing about what my family thinks of my weight BUTBUT my brother approached me yesterday and was all leiksrs and stuff. Apparently my eating habits are going to drive mom into drinking and will make daddy sad. And it apparently 'makes me worried,' from Merlon. Oh, and his girlfriend is apparently scared for my life. WTF

ANYWAY. So my brother said he was, starting July, going to make me work out with him and eat with him and stuff. 2000 calories a day (ugh kill me please), jogging, weights, pushups, chin-ups, all that shit. He promised I'd be a lot more toned. I told him if I got fat then I was becoming bulimic. xD

So I'm kinda scared but hopefully it will work. I mean, muscles, hell to the yeah, but I'm afraid of eating. Well, not eating, but eating that much. T_T

In other news, some friends and I just got plans made for a hotel for Infinitus and a villa at Disney. :] And I'm totally going to Hot Topic today to buy all the new Slytherin merch and the Draco shirt because HELLO THE FIRST DRACO SHIRT THEY'VE RELEASED OMGYAY.

sigh Mother...

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 00:15:20 GMT

So my mom and I are listening to this song on the radio. I forget what it was.

Mom: You know, this was the first case of a famous woman who died from complications with anorexia. *POINTED GLANCE AT DRAKIE*

Drakie: *sigh* Yes, Mother.

My god, Mom, could you be any more obvious?

So I ended up teaching the first half-hour of dance class.

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:34:25 GMT

The title basically says it all. Class was extra long today, and the Lady Isis hadn't shown up yet, so it was like. Well. They sort of need to know this dance by August. And I know the dance. SO I SHALL TAKE ISIS'S STAGE AND BREAK IT DOWN.

It was slightly terrifying. Especially when Isis DID show up and was like oh, carry on, Drake, I'll just watch you. Then my mind was on don'tmessupdon'tmessupdon'tmessup.

I really shouldn't be a teacher. xD I'm so impatient. I don't seem to understand when someone else doesn't understand something. Usually of the opinion that well, I understand it, so therefore you should understand it, too.

On another exciting note, I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD IN DECEMBER. AND RYAN MIGHT BE GOIN WITH ME. Anyone else gonna be there? xD Doubt it, just thought I'd inquire. And then I'll be going back to Orlando for Infinitus next year. Guh. The Infinitus plan reeeeally needs to be fine-tuned. But I won't be able to until closer to the convention. X_x Am I driving, flying? Who from HPDFW will be going? Will I use my Vacation points to get a villa for myself on the Disney grounds, or will I stay in a hotel closer to the theme park? Will I have roomies? Will I rent a car or taxi it? What will I wear? How long will it take for me to kill myself? *headdesk* Guhhh.

HAY GAIS DU YEW LIEK MAI HURRZ?

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:36:11 GMT

I did my hair! Slytherin green and black—LIKE MY SOUL.

My stupid awkward half-smile that I can only do on command. X_x I need to die.

Profile view. Ignore the protruding tendons.

And because I simply had to. Live long and prosper. :]

So what'chu think? Yay/nay? Okay. Now to the next set of piktars.

A DUMBLEDORE AND A MALFOY.

Yeah, probably wasn't expectin that, were ya? Except maybe Kelley (ilugelly<3). THE YOUNG DUMBLEDORE COSPLAY... to be finished next month and worn at the HBP premiere. :]

And my Malfoy wig. I actually got it this color on purpose. The pure #163 white blond wigs just looked... fake. Most people's hair has mixed tones in it. And I liked this one better. : D

And, because I can, my new piercing, Frances.

He's the itty bitty ring on the inner curve of my cartilage. Mmm pain.

Back From A-kon

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:12:39 GMT

Hay gais. I'm back from A-kon. And I am completely dead.

Well, Thursday was slowassday. Mostly it was just pick up badge, and wait until Friday. I didn't realize Chelsea was going to abandon me immediately upon getting our rooms, so I was alone for most of Thursday. xDD So I bought Internet and Internetted for a bit.

Friday was fun, except that morning. I had forgotten my liquid latex at home somehow, so Merlon brought it up to me an hour later. I ended up being Ron Weasley for a little while until the latex arrived, to which I promptly switched to Zuzu. :] THEN the funtiems started. No one was impressed with Ron, but for some reason everyone LOOOOVED Zuko. There was a surprising lack of Avatar characters to molest. D: There was me, one male Toph, one female Toph who worked in Artist Alley, and like, three other Zuko's, one of which had a Katara (so I couldn't molest either of them). One Zuko was wearing a costume that I don't remember from the season, but he had the scar and the Fire Nation emblem on it, so I knew he was Zuzu. Then there was the one with Katara who had a costume like mine, only he had the Fire Nation bun thing. Then there was 'fat Zuko' as Chelsea called him, who was in third-season Zuko costume as well, only his scar was Sharpie'd on or something.

My scar was the coolest, beeteedubya.

OMG THE L4D COSPLAYS. <33333

THEN SOKKA SHOWED UP. Only no one recognized him. xDD But I molested Sokka plenty. As can be seen in this video.

We went to a panel for Prop Making and Lifecasting, but the first part sucked. xDD Their DVD played wouldn't sync up with the TV, so we got a half-hour of 'ask the propmaker questions and I'll answer even though it doesn't pertain to anyone else.' Lifecasting was awesome, though. Srsly. Ryan kept the leftover resin.

Met up with an old friend as well, which was nice. Sunday was slightly sucky. xDD I went to bed at 2AM on Saturday, and then two hours later we get an announcement over the hotel speakers that there was 'an alarm and we're investigating it.' Well, I had no fucken idea what they were on about, but I looked around and allmyroommatesweregone. So I sort of freaked out. Turned out Taryn left another helpful note, so I knew they were fine, but ya know, in a hotel room during some time of alarm by myself omgwtffindChelsea. So I ran to Chelsea and Rickey's room (with enough sense to bring my shit with me so I could get back into MY room), hung out there, and then another announcement. 'There was no need for the alarm, sorry for the inconvenience.' No, sir, YOU are an inconvenience! So at 4:30 AM, sleepy time, but DRAKIE HAD NOOO SLEEEEP. I could not get back to sleep. So I got out of bed at like, 7 and tried not to die.

So then I met back up with Ryan as Fred and George, and we spent the rest of the morning in the Westin food court. Coffee and food made me feel better. Then we hung out with Sky and Liir. Turns out Chelsea's mom wanted to get her at NOON so we had to haul ass to check out and get her shit to the car, which was hell in a hand basket. Then Ryan was leaving. Then everyone was gone. So I left afterwards. And I got home and was like haigaisi'mbackgoodnight.

And I slept from 2PM till 7AM. : D I am well rested. And now I'm considering seeing the Star Trek movie again. WHO'S WITH ME.
