Preparing for Ramencon

I'm doing a few things today to get ready for Friday-Sunday's convention. I'm going to be making a Ralts hat to wear for Friday =3 Also, I'm going to be doing a dry-run to make sure the route I set up will get me to the location easily enough. I'm nervous because in addition to this being my first convention, I rarely get out on my own, so it means I'll be getting myself there and back by myself, as well as wandering around alone. It might be nice to walk around the con with a friend, but the friends I know well enough that are going to be there are in Artist's Alley *shrugeth* Also, even though what I have to do is simple enough, I'm still a part of the con event =^_^;= So many things to be nervous and/or excited about. Heck, I don't even know where I'd end up beginning D=> Darn, I should've found a veteran who was going and able to walk around X3 Then again, maybe this is a chance to be more adventurous ='w';= *exhales*

At any rate, I'm EXTREMELY NERVOUS! XD; I have to make sure to wash my "ralts outift" tomorrow, too... I hope it's where I think it is, otherwise I'll have to go on a hunt =o_o;= ... Maybe I'll make sure I find it tonight... But I think after I've been to this con, I might go into the artist's alley next year =3 That would be another first =3

And OMG, I totally want to buy one of these and fly it around at a con X3

People'd probably also want to fly it XD If I got two, there could be a fish race~! X3

Oh boy ='w';= Well, at least I have a hat pattern to make my hat. Only thing is, I'll have to improvise the horns on it, but I think I can do it. =3 So I'll be quite busy this weekend. I might end up exhausted, too =>u>;= But it'll be a good experience. I'm not going to be staying in a hotel since the con's close enough to drive to in about 40 minutes. Although thinking about being a little sleepy at the end of the day, it might've been better to book a room. However, I'm not prepared for that, so I'll do it the way I originally intended. My mom would worry about me even more if I stayed overnight =^^;= Plus, I'll save on food costs, at least for breakfast =P

Well, I've rambled enough X3; I'm still wondering what it'll be like, though ='w';= *fidgets* But, I'll find out tomorrow =;u;= Ja ne~!

Going to a Convention

So yes, I'm going to be going to my first convention next weekend =3 I'm goin to RamenCon in Merrillville =D *wiggles* I was actually only planning to walk around and flop hopelessly for the three days, but a friend of mine who's part of an even at the con needed someone to fill in for said event. X3 So I guess I'm part of the con, nao =3 I can't say what the event is, tho, as it's a surprise =eue=

I'm thinking about trying to make a Ralts hat, since I already have these loose white pajama-type things that would fit well enough for last minute cosply =^^;= I bet people would get mad about it, but I think it'd be interesting. There's a masquerade ball on Saturday evening, which piqued my interest, so I ordered a mask to go with my Halloween costume, so I'll wear that one on Saturday X3 (Those who are on my facebook might know which costume I'm talking about =P) I might just go in regular clothes on Sunday, or I might switch Friday's and Sunday's outfit and go dressed normally for the first day *shrugeth* I really do seem to get thrown into things at warp speed nowadays =^_^;= But it's cool, I've got good friends to help me =3

If you guys wanna check out the details, you can check out the Ramencon website~ One week to go =^_^;= *nervous*

Just Posting

Just to post. I really can't say I have much to type about. I just thought I'd post to show I'm still living. I've just been in one of those moods where I have no desire to do anything. Although I haven't been doing nothing, persay... But I'm feeling somewhat frustrated... Not like "teeth clenching" frustrating, but more like "I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in" frustrating. I'll get past it, though...

I finally finished this anime series I'd been watching. It's called "Aria" and there are 3 series (Aria the Animation, Aria the Natural, and Aria the Origination) and 1 OVA (Aria the OVA ~Arietta~) --The OVA comes before the last series, though--. I'm a little sad because there were still some things I wanted to see, but it's alright, I guess XD

I also started reading Dengeki Daisy and finally got around to getting Black God. I like them, especially Dengeki. The main guy I've been thinking is my type XD Although when I started thinking that, I felt sad because if I ever met that type of guy, I wouldn't let myself get too close... After my most recent rejection, it''s going to be even harder to get close to anyone =^_^;= Then again, I'm a hopeless romantic and a fool and possibly a masochist because I'll just end up falling for someone again =P But when I put it that way, it makes me somewhat happy because it means there are still people out there I could fall for.

Do you ever think it's possible to meet with a j-pop/rock star as a normal person and fall in love not because they're a celebrity, but because of the experience you shared? It'd be pretty darn nice, but that might not happen on account they're a celebrity. Also, if you know the celebrity, it'd be hard to separate that from the fact that they're also human... If I were to meet a celeb, I'd hope they were still down to Earth. I'd need someone down to Earth with my head in the clouds all the time XD;

On that note, I really hate how nasty fans can get... They think the object of their idolization is only meant for them and if that person chooses someone they don't think is up to par, they say mean things about her/him. It's ridiculous! I could understand if the person was a gold digger, but honestly! People can be just too ugly on the inside nowadays or any day, for that matter.... *exhales*

... I ranted from practically nothing... Ok, I'm going to lie down, now. Maybe I'll get something done when I wake up... Ja ne =P

It's Still so Hot... OTZ

I liked it better yesterday when it was cooler =/ This is probably the worse summer I can ever remember enduring... orz I've got a headache, duuuudes... Also, I learned... don't drink grape juice on an empty stomache... It'll mess with you =o_o;= *part of why I don't feel too good*

I've found out that almost every place that exists is doing job appliications online nowadays... Things sure have changed since the last time I went job-searching =o~o= At any rate, I went to both Office Max and Michael's the other day and since I'd feel weird just walking in to ask a question, I bought one thing from each store XD; So now I've got some Prismacolor markers and something called "Artagain" which is this black paper meant for chalks and light pastels. That'll be fun X3 I thought about getting a French Curve, but since it was less expensive, and I'd probably need one in the future, I decided to get the Artagain instead. I mean, I don't think I would normally buy something like that unless it was on a whim, so I got it XD Does that make sense?

Really, when it comes to job searching, it's better to start right before or as summer's starting. Before the lil' ones get out of school XD; But since my mom was going to be on vacation far away, I was needed at home since I'm the only one with a valid license that can drive. *shrugs*

I'm not feeln' too goo... *overheated* So I'll leave it here... Bai bai... *flops*

Calming Down...

I really have to apologize... It just seems like every other post I put on here is me freakin' out or being depressed... =^^;= I can't say that I'm 100% but I'm not on the verge of hyperventilating anymore... =^_^;= I can't say I can pinpoint what exactly it is that's got me so shaken, but then again, maybe that's just it. Maybe it's just everything building up. Which makes me feel... something ='_';= I can't say I feel super inspired or anything, but I guess I'll go over to Borders and buy some manga before it's all gone (they're going out of business for good, it suck so bad...) and then head over to the new Michael's and Office Max and such and pick up some job applications. I kinda wanna work at Michael's, but I've heard they've got pretty bad conditions. However, it's a (relatively) new place, so it's possible they need more staff... maybe. Making a small amount of money is more than making no money at all. Plus, it adds to your experience and you can only go up from there, right? Also... I kinda wonder if they hav employee discounts, so i can get more art supplies... =(=//w//=;)= (Same goes for Office Max... I liek office supplies... XD I had a field day when they were selling containers of assorted erasers for a quarter each -limit 3- haha) But once I secure a job, I won't feel like such a leech anymore. Then maybe I can relax (aside from when I'm working, that is) for a bit... *exhales*

I'm so messed up for no reason at all and I hate it "orz
