Well gosh. I didn't think Bookman earrings would be hard to make, if I can manage his hair then earrings should be a doddle, but whatdaya know it hasn't worked out that way.

I draw Allen if he were from 300 :D

Why do I always forget to upload this bloody thing >.< I blame my oh so active social life *cough*

Well actually I have been fluttering all about the place with RP, cosplay, work and family/friend stuff so maybe I have a social life but don't think of it as one hmmm *strokes beard from Iroh cosplay*

Anywho, looking forward to Expo at the end of Mat mostly cos I'm going to be sporting my Bookman cosplay and also cos its always a laugh~ Sasuke and Bel are going to look amazing (Sasuke fursuit is all done) I just hope they don't melt 0.o

Hey~

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:33:22 GMT

I'm only loading the DGM stuff at the momment, I still need to sort out the other photos(apparently I had over 200 0.o)

Enjoy~

Whoot Amecon

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:02:00 GMT

Ok, tommorow is the day we all set off for Amecon. Costumes are all sorted so no worries there but I bet I forgot something important like toothpaste or jim jams, its always the mundane stuff that gets forgotten -.- I think I'll be ok though, its just normal pre-con jitters~

I'll be away for five days (schweeeet) and hopfully I'll post some pics and Lavi's birthday picture when I get back. I can't wait!

Take care everyone.

Cosplay randomness

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:07 GMT

Filmed by Bel, tis my house though. I do apologise for all the random, we just wanted to try on our costumes before the big convention in august.

Lavi(black coat and eyepath)= Meh!
Rip (girl filming with long black wig)= Bel
Sai(only man thing there) = Will

LOL

Gah! I need to update this thing more, I used to be so good with it. What happened?!

I had an interesting experience today.

After many years of herming and hemming I finally decided to stop being a wimp and went to get tested for contact lenses. I felt now was the best time since I'm getting a bit more adventurous with cosplay, having glasses sometimes really limited what I could do, and sometimes it actually ruined the whole costume.

I chatted to my Mum and some friends who use them and they all seemed to give glowing reports, I've always been a bit put off them myself(mostly cos the idea of something touching my eye freaks me out) but millions of people all over the world wear them and they all had to start somehere.

So Mum and I toddled off to town today for my appointment and I had a trail session. It basically meant I had to wear a test pair(one closest to my own perscription) and faff about for two hours to see if they'd blind me or not.

I was a complete wuss when he was putting them on it took four attempts to put the left one in and he had to clean it cos I made him drop it -.- Lord only knows what I'll be like putting them on myself.

It was so weird! My depth perception was buggered at first so Mum had to help me with steps @.@ lest I break my neck! I kept finding myself trying to push my glasses up but they weren't there so I was basically rubbing my nose, I must have looked like a freak(the sort Mothers tell their children not to look at) I think its a nervous habbit now >.>

I went into the shop as well and disovered that I couldn't read the writing on the screens, I was all squinty and "I know thats Dash cos the blur is the same shape as 'Dash'..." Sasuke was very mean to me about that :P

After all was said and done though I think I'll stick with them, I was originally only going to use them for cosplay and for really hot weather, but after the initial flail of putting them on I can see myself wearing them all the time. I've got to go back in about a weeks time cos I need specially made lenses (I have stigmatism in my left eye, which means its shapped like a rugby ball Q.Q) so they need to order them in.

It was all very exciting though! It means I can do so much more when it comes to cosplay.

Speaking of cosplay I can't wait for Amecon this year. I'll be doing Maid Mikuru from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya(a VERY cute costume) and I'll be doing Lavi from D. Gray-Man.
Bugger me I've fallen so hard for this series, I haven't been this excited about a series since Haruhi Suzumiya. I really like a series which gives you the oppotunity to speculate, and whoo nelly does gray-man deliver on that!

A BATTLE CRY TO ALL!

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 16:17:42 GMT

Ok, I watched a new BBC3 program last week called 'Being Human'( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_Human_(TV_series)) long story short I loved it.

It was funny, touching, sad and in some bits actually quite tense, not to mention that it was such a fresh concept that work beautifull. Apart from Doctor Who I'd say its probably the best thing to come out of the BBC in AGES. I was looking forward to seeing more of this(the way the episode endded hinted at so much more) but I was shocked to discover that it was only a one-off program. I can't beleive it, its like giving us a piece of yummy cake and then suddenly saying there isn't anymore when we ask for another slice... Its cruel!

I'm so sick of the stuff that the BBC is churning out these days, its all 'reality' programs like Come Singing On Ice X Academy, and badly written comedy programs like My Hero and Hyperdrive. I agree with people when they say television is dumbing down because its true.

I just wanted to type about it because I really REALLY enjoyed it and I want more people to know about it. Its available on BBC Iplayer and there are torrents flaoting about so if you get the chance I urge you to at least watch it... and then sign this petition >_>

If you love me you'll sign it :P
Where else are you going to find a ghost, werewolf and vampire discussing which Hogwarts house they'd be in!

Well Fuck :(

This is very depressing news.

The best thing to do is get on with life. Yes he's been diagnosed with a horrible disease but its not like he's got a few months left or something.
What annoys me the most though is some of his fans are speaking like he's already dead :( It could be years before he's hit by it completely.

Its really good to see him taking it with such good humour and optimism. Good Luck Mr Pratchett~

My grandmother has had Alzheimer's for over half my life but not once have I ever felt sad or depressed about it, she is still active, healthy and happy so I can at least feel upbeat about that. I find that the best way to deal with it.

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 01:00:02 GMT

Posting this because it made me lol SO hard.

Japanese Doctor Who. Made all the more awesome by Toshihiko Seki as the voice of 10... It doesn't get much better then that ^~^ [fangirly blissy moment]

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=upLkHR5u7N4

Seki is just so good with cute slighty unhinged characters, he can ramble like a pro. He's just so nice to listen to, there is slight purring tone to his voice that just makes me go gooey.

Avatardness

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:45:49 GMT

Cut for da spoilerz

Just watched the mid-season two parter for Avatar: The last Airbender.

Yes, FECKING YES!

Aang is so cute in his little quasi Fire/Air bender outfit. Bald is beautiful, so glad its back.

Haru's tache! OMG kill it with fire! He looks like a bloody mexican bandit.

Zuko you are back in my good books. [takes his name off naughty list] The two episodes were full of epic awesome but his moment was something that myself and many others have been waiting for. Him saying "I'm joining the Avatar" actually made me shout out "HELL YES! XD" very few programs make me shout out loud! And then with all the saving Uncle talk and the little smile the shouting got louder, plus a few bad words were mixed in as well >_>. No show has ever made me spazz like this. Avatar is something special.

Ozai is a bastard.

The battle with all the benders was just one big Parade of Cool Things of Win. Love every second of it. I'm glad to see that my instincts (INSTINCT!) were right about Azula, everything is just a play thing to her. Crazy moo.

FIRE ZEPPLINS! GREAT BIG AWESOME FIRE ZEPPLINS!

Can't wait to see the western air temple, the nomads were always my favourite nation(cultul wise) I hope Zuko can catch up with them and become friends without too much hassle, Pleasepleaseplease >.<

Hope Iroh is ok. Considering he broke out of jail single handed though methinks he wil be JUST fine ^_^ [can't wait to see him again]

It will be interesting to see how the next few episodes pan out, especially considering some of the rumours I've heard ¬~¬.

And Ozai... Do not underestimate the way of tea [cracks knuckles]

"Bloody Hell!" is what she said

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 09:46:33 GMT

Went out for my birthday meal last night. It was quite nice, I had the fish cakes.

Then I accidently set fire to a menu(was holding it over a candle >_>) and endded up having half a jug of water jug chucked on me(the rest went on the menu) I can see the funny side though ^_^ so it was a brilliant evening!

I have returned

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 13:21:38 GMT

Hi everyone!

As you can see I'm back from Amecon, I had a great(if tiring) time ^_^
Our costumes looked amazing~ I'll post some pictures up later, It was nice that we did a group cosplay the first to days and then went for costumes that matched our more individual tastes for the last(that way everyone is happy) I adored Duo's Gothic Lolita dress! It was so very cute, and altough it spun me out a bit I loved Dave's L, he is a frightenly good L >_>

Well I took £400 with me(Dave, Duo and Sasuke gave me £10 each for my birthday ^_^) and I came back with £100, so I think I did pretty well. I seemed to have bought a lot of Ghost in the Shell stuff this time around, I blame WigWog, I got two soundtracks for the series and WigWog got me another two (all by Yoko Kanno! SQUEE!)I adore them oh so very much.

I also got my hands on some Suzumiya stoof, a nice gashapon set and a beauitiful statue of Battle Waitress Mikuru(which I had to unpack from the box to get home -_-)I also got a keyring which shouts "Dammit Kyon! Your late!" I would have liked the "MIKURU BEAAAAM!" one but they were sold out. I added a great many plushies to my collection to.

I had a great time but I'm happy to be home, Amecon is a lovely treat to look forward to each year ^_^

I've got loads of photos and even some video footage to show you all later. Watch this space!

Sun, 29 Jul 2007 09:59:30 GMT

Pardon me while I flail about on the floor for a bit.

Shame about the focus but trust me its much better then the first one that was released.
Doesn't the third season look bloody fantastic! So many question!
Zuko better be turning good after this, thats the only reason I'll forgive for him for his actions.

Love Aang's new spiffy monk look, hope he keeps it for a while. Although, I'm quite fond of his undercover FN outfit as well, especially since they added a headband to cover up his arrow.
Darnit! Why isn't there a soundtrack! I'd so buy it -_-

Oh I am so unbelievabley excited about this! I just hope Avatar portal keeps up with their ep updates just so I can watch it. [mutters]Stupid England.

ARGH!

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 21:17:52 GMT

Ok, had a tiny little, ever so small, panic attack on thursday. I went to my hairdressers to get my hair cut Haruhi style. Uusally they are really good, any photo I've ever taken in before (some of which have been anime) they've been able to duplicate really well.

They were bound to mess up eventually -_-

My hair is way to short to do either Iruka or Haruhi now! Plus they tell me that I can't temporary dye my hair. Perminent only. Needless to say I did have a "OH MY GOD!" momment when I realised what had happened.

Luckily I jumped into action. Instead of Haruhi I'm doing Yuki, I've bought a Yuki wig and all I need to change with the costume is the colour of the socks and a black cardigan(which I own) sorted. She's probably easier to play as well, plus I get to wear my glasses. Iruka was harder though, the night before Sasuke, Duo, Will and myself had signed up for the cosplay Masqurade, yes it proabably could have been changed last minute (with the costume I could pull off several characters) but I really wanted to do Iruka. No way I'm letting my team down! [Enters Moral Sensei Outrage Mode] NO BLOODY WAY!

I purchesed a crazy scrunchy ponytail add-on and some dark brown hair spray(which I do know will cover my hair up, tis the same make that Dupo sprayed in my hair last year, remmeber! The blue one) and I'm at least able to pin back my hair enough to get it under a wig now, thats good.

I really did feel down though. Yes it looks nice enough but I had to wonder if the girl was looking at the same picture, it really was too short. Turned out she was new and was not used to my strange, but harmless, little ways. Thanks, could have told me that before.

Now onto more important stuff, my county is underwater. That is to say its into the middle of a flood crisis. Personally I'm not affected, I still have water and power and my house is half way have a hill so no danger of flooding. However, the rest of the county is in real trouble, its a bit scary actually. Usually when it floods its never so close to home. But on the friday night I had to wade through a foot of flood water to even get close to a route home from work. Took me about an hour to get home.

On a less important note Ouendan finally broke my DS stylus. LOL I'm really not surprised by this, I'm just amazed it didn't happen sooner. It broke at a really scary place actually, it was at the end of this level I've been stuck on for ages. It went a bit like this.

Sensei-[doing the last crazy bit]COME ON! COME ON! YES YES YES! [stylus snaps]NO! [finishes the last bit with half a stylus]@_@ PLEASE! *END* YES! WHOOOOO! [looks mounrfully at stylus nub]Thank you my friend... [goes to ebay to play.com to order a new one]

Amecon is on the 10th of august, my birthday is on the 9th. I'm a bit annoyed with how close the two are.

On a less

Rejoice! The Second Coming Is At Hand!

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 00:42:27 GMT

Second series of Haruhi Suzumiya has been comfirmed(well... I'm about 50% sure it is) but I have my doubts. Mostly because KyoAni hasn't mentioned it at all and if its not animated by KyoAni... Well I'm not sure it will be the same.

Either way I demand that the Tanataba, Disaperance and Snow Mountain chapters get animated. Lest I come down upon them with threatening cookies!

Pay up beyatch

Possible spoilers for Avatar season three below.

I have my doubts about the authenticity of this image.

However, if its real then it means WigWog owes me £5 ^_^ I was so right about Aang's hair colour! Shame it looks like Momo died on his head.

EDIT:DUDE! I can confirm that this is real! @_@ Ew... Oh well I can only hope that Aang's hair looks better animated. I'm having to fight back the urge to attack him with a hairbrush and cute little hairclips ^_^... BUTTERFLY CLIPS!

DW OMG!

My throughts of the series finale.

Oh My God!

How awesome was the season finale for Doctor Who! Ok, my brain is way too hyper to form proper sentences so I'm just gonna type random squees.

Gallifrey funeral rites are Jedi in origin! Doesn't this mean that they can take DNA from the burnt remains and clone a Master?

What about the Drums! THE DRUMS!

Mini!Doctor is the bastard love child of Gollum and Dobby. It was very nice of the Doctor to give him a little pair of PJ's though(and not a loin cloth)

Martha... You are officaly the best companion EVER! [Shoves Rose aside] I was very annoyed with all the fawning over the Doctor(am a firm believer in the asexualness of the Doctor) but she just kicked arse in the end, I really did shout "Good for you deary!" when she was getting out. Plus there is room for her to return. She's gonna be pissed off though when she remmebers all her numbers are on that mobile.

And Jack=Face of Bo! The fans are going to have a field day with that ^_^ I never saw that coming! My friend and I laughed so much at that because it was just so fantastic.

I love the idea of Martha traveling the world telling people about the Doctor, there is something just so epic about that.

I really shouldn't like the Master as much as I do. But I fell in love with all the manic dancing. However I do question his taste in music... I wonder if he let the Scissor Sisters survive.

I'm a horrible person, I laughed at the Doctor tent...

Poor Tardis! Its made of cardboard, poor deary, can't beleive it got smacked by the Titanic. Does this mean the Doctor will bump into himself since he did say he'd been on the Titanic once(back when he was Northern)

I more or less guessed what the Toclafane were. But I think everyone and their grannies did as well.

Oh God. The Doctor breaking down and finally crying. I was waiting for this, he's been through so much crap this series, poor dear just couldn't take it anymore.

Red paited nails lady is Master Wife. She was in the Eye of the Storm with them so she retained her memories of all the mayhem. She's gone a bit loopy so it will be interesting to see what happens. She had marks on her face, did Master slap her around a bit 0.o

Little Tom from Family of Blood never showed up. I geuss I must have missed something.

OHMIGOSH! BAT LADDER!

Thought I'd treat you all to a sneak peak of my Haruhi costume.

Ok, bare in mind that it still needs to be taken in a little bit and that I don't have the wig. Either way this costume is more or less done ^_^

Just a nice simple Haruhi pose to start off with, just to show off how spiff the costume is.

Thu, 31 May 2007 10:50:19 GMT

[rolls]Feeling a little bit 'meh' at the momment. Nothing I won't bounce back from or anything, and if I'm honest there isn't really much of a reason for my mehness.

My Iruka costume arrived and only one part of it fit me properly and actually looked good. The trousers were HUGE(no way I can wear them) and the Chuunin vest was just... crap. The pockets on the front of it were just cotton wool filled rectangular lumps (COTTON BOOBS). However! I'm still positive, I've ordered a new vest, from someone who was recomended, and I can easily make the trousers myself. I still need to get a few odds and ends but no worries! There is hope.

My Haruhi costume arrived a few days ago as well, and it is FANTASTIC! Its so well made [glees]and they actually threw in all of the armbands she wears ^_^ which is awesomeness personified. It is a bit big and the skirt is an inch or two too long but its nothing my mum can't fix, and if not then I am prepared to take it to a tailors and get it sorted. This costume is faaar too nice to just >.< at. Also, on the Suzumiya front, my special addition DVD is on its way... I may have to stalk the postman... all Ninja style >_>

Postman-Dum di dum di dum [walks up the path]
Sensei-[sitting in near by tree, all hidden]... Soon

I've decided to go for a wig instead of dyeing my hair. I sat down and did some soul searching and I realized it was silly to dye my hair for one weekend. With Sasuke its ok cos she keeps her hair like that all the time and she likes it and is happy, but I like my hair colour so a wig it is! So if anyone can recommend an Iruka wig (Haruhi is easy) or anything like that I will adore you ever so much~

I bought 2 new games for my DS, which is amazing really I tend to neglect the poor thing.
The first is Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (Hey! Fight! Cheer Squad) its a Japanese rhythm game that I imported. I saw this on Gamer TV ages ago and thought it looked fantastic! Then I forgot about it, mostly because they said it would never get a US or Euro release >.< but recently Mish imported a copy. It was love at first sight! I realised that I could actually play this game and still know what was going on! So I got a copy and it rocks.
I'm trying to complete the last stage on normal mode, I think my stylus is going to be worn down to a nub by the time I'm finished!

The second one, which I only got two days ago, is Final Fantasy III. How sad is it that I'm enjoying this game more then FF12. This is how Final Fantasys are meant to go! 12 is cool and very pretty to look at but the plot seems a bit... [vague hand gesture] can't even think of a word for it. FFIII is brilliant though, its very pretty to look at and the job system is quick and easy to pick up... and I wish to keep Black Mage Arc locked in a hamster cage forever and ever >_>...

[screams and pulls hair out]STUPID TWO PARTER DOCTOR WHO! HOW DARE YOU END LIKE THAT! [curls up in corner]

Thu, 24 May 2007 21:10:23 GMT

Whoot to the mother fecking noobs! WigWog's (Chris) Kiba costume finally came! So did my Iruka one but sadly not on the same day(I will take some photos of it! Promise)

Anywho, bask in all his Ninjary glory!

Sort of caught the poor dear unaware here. This was the first time using my camera outside, didn't know it was going to be this bright.

Sensei-Do a Kiba pose!
WigWog-Haven't seen enough of him!
Sensei-... Do a generic Ninja pose!
WigWog-KAY :D *pose*

LOL! My brother came out to see what was going on, this is me being sneaky with the camera, lovely~

Bugger! Spotted!
