so i got to go to the Mickey Halloween Party at Disneyland yesterday!! 

best day to go EVER. seriously.

because it was pretty much raining all day long. so getting to run around the park in full costume with a wig that's completely spiked up and out while hairspray killing water kept falling out of the sky on it?  was awesome. and i'm only half being sarcastic. xD

the day started out simple enough. i had work in the morning until 1, and after that i headed over to Fluffy and AyaToki's place via the Gold Line (i have now officially gone on every railway system in Los Angeles except the Purple Line, but that's almost the same as the Red Line so screw it xD). i was laughing 'cause their house is literally right by it. but yeah, that part of the day was interesting... i was more or less already in my costume, just so that i'd be saving myself the hassle of completely changing into it when i got to their place. it just needed a few extra things, like the wig and the bandages and the tattoo/scar combo on the right arm. AyaToki got changed into Russel Tringham America, Fluffy DID NOTHING, and then we were off!

we're almost certain that people going down the freeway near us were staring at the BRIGHT BLUE HAIR on my head. but WHATEVER GUYS. MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE.

and yeah, the weather at this point? while i was at work, it had been raining a little bit, off and on. it stopped raining by the time i was off, and then when i got to the sisters' place it was SO SUNNY AND WARM. we were all like "wtf, this weather." and then as we were driving down the freeway things went from sunny... to cloudy... to drizzling. by the time we got to Disneyland, it was sprinkling. we had to wait for Jen and Bruce at the trams, so we did. got sprinkled on some more in the meantime. and i actually got recognized!! the chick mixed the name up at first and was all "DEATH STAR!" at me. apparently i'm the Death Star. :3 that's kind of cool.

so Jen shows up in her Hungary cosplay (she's so adorable in it!) and then we board the tram. and literally, 15 seconds after we get on the tram? it starts POURING. and our contingency plan for rain wasn't... so good... mine was to just mostly get wet. ^_^;; I HAD AN UMBRELLA but yeah.

first thing we do when we get into the park was go running into the nearest indoor place, which was the Abe Lincoln thing. which was actually kinda cool for a number of reasons: 1) it was dry there. 2) America got to take some nice patriotic pictures. 3) Hungary got to take some pretty pictures. and we were apparently waiting for more people to join us in the park anyway, so we thought that'd be a good place to do it. i hung around and watched the 50 Years of Magic video that had been in that theater, and while i was standing there watching, this old guy walked by, staring at my hair, and went "that's beautiful." i... didn't really know what to do so i just laughed and thanked him. funny old man. :3

so once more people arrived (one carrying $700 worth of photography gear-- which was pretty damn awesome in its own way) we set out again. and this time the rain had lessened significantly. we trusted it enough to forego the umbrellas for a bit, anyway. and this is where ADVENTURE BEGAN.

we were there at 3, and the Halloween party stuff didn't start until 6, so we had time to just. run around Disneyland in costume. so naturally, we hit up as many rides as we could. Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion... we started the ride hopping late, so by the time we got out of Haunted Mansion some of the Halloween stuff was set up...

... i feel like this story needs pictures. i shall wait until i get them to tell the rest. xP

my rekindled love for Saiyuki has brought me to this video. :3




also this:

hikaranko: (dazzle me bb)
so. like. FANIME WAS FUN-TIMES. even though we seriously didn't do a whole lot outside of artist alley. and the one time we considered it, we knocked out in the room before the thing actually started. :3a;;;

so now you all get the quickest run down of the con EVER.

thursday:
SINGING IN THE CAR IS ALWAYS FUN. especially when it's to Disney music.

friday:
PICKING UP PK AND THEN ARTIST ALLEY. and poor attempt at Ranma cosplay, which was eventually switched out for Ed. i made friends by chasing Jimmy around the artist alley for pulling my hair. i apparently have a new bruvver-thing? also, i picked a fight with either Rough Nut or Tough Nut from How to Train Your Dragon. :> it only ended because i didn't want to crush their awesome-looking shield with my boots. so i totally won that, dammit. <_<
... i don't even remember what happened after that. at some point my hair was chopped off. :3

saturday:
MOAR ARTIST ALLEY! 8D and... i don't think we cosplayed anything. but that was okay because I HAD SHORT HAIR and it was exhilarating. *3* AND i had a moustache~ also, Davie makes an epic Vega. i got a hug. i swear the top of my head is level with his nipple. it was awkward, but sweet. :3
also, WHY SO MANY RANDOM RANMA COSPLAYERS. and WHY DOES EVERYONE COSPLAY MY FANDOM WHILE I'M NOT. O.o;;

sunday:
EEVEELUTIONS. OMG SO MANY PICTURES WERE TOOKED OF US. i also saw some friends from my old university ([livejournal.com profile] spwinkles and [livejournal.com profile] kate_andy , I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH) in their Princess Tutu cosplay, which was random, but amazing. :D
i also had some personal drama, but that was eventually settled.

monday:
hoooooooly crap last day. >_O so much hectic packing in the morning! and then random Caesar appearing during Artist Alley cleanup, which required glomping of that bearded lady. :3 i just found out today that he and his roomies must've set some kind of record for damage payments on their room. miscellaneous beer and alcohol stains on the sheets, as well as vomit stains and who knows what else... they had to cough up $2000. ._____.;;
EPIC DRIVE DOWN WAS EPIC. MOAR DISNEY SINGINGS WERE HAD.

BUT ANYWAYS. the cosplaying was super fun, even if we generally didn't leave the artist alley at all. xD so i wanna do more cosplay stuff! Panda said she's trying to make a Tsubaki cosplay, which made me go "I'LL BE YOUR BLACK*STAR" and now i'm looking for good wigs and stuff for that. also, i still want a Sora costume to derp around in. >_>;; someday. SOMEDAY.  also! Jen and the sisters and Panda and everybody did well at the artist alley! moneys was made!! which was super exciting. and i feel quite compelled to participate in artist alley next year. :3

oh- speaking of next year! i promised zully that i'd do the artist alley booth with her, because i know zilch about business stuff and she knows lots. plus, it's an awesome excuse to sit around and do almost nothing with her for like. 8 hours straight. XD with how rarely she gets to come visit, i've gotta take advantage of it, y'know?? and some of my other friends apparently wanna come next year too, so- who knows? i mean, it's still an entire year away....

...

sob, i already miss it :C



WHY SO COOL, FLUFFY?
hikaranko: (Default)
soooooo... i came up with this idea. i decided to make this, like, guide thing for if you wanna introduce Fullmetal Alchemist to somebody, and they're lazy to read the manga. since the storyline for the manga/Brotherhood is better overall than the original anime, that's the one you oughta show. but since the beginning of Brotherhood is so rushed because the original anime already covered it... well, this oughta be the way to do it.

try to show the episodes in this order... )

... yeah, i'm weird. v_v;; i wanted to do that. part of me even wants to go so far as to edit all this video footage together, MERGE IT ALL INTO ONE, but... yeah, lazy. and- that's so time consuming. D:
hikaranko: (excitement)
WHA- WHA- HOW DID I NOT- I MEAN- I'D HEARD RUMORS, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT- I MEAN- HOLY SHIT-

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF


THEY'RE REALLY GOING TO- GOING TO- TO-

hikaranko: (mischief)
IT'S INFECTING THE INTERNET. THIS IS FLIPPIN' AWESOME.

THE EDxLINA CLUB.

mwahahahaha~~~ it was only a matter of time, my duckies~

Zully, WE NEED TO WRITE FICS AND SEND IT TO THEM.
hikaranko: (mischief)
got this from manda's journal, [livejournal.com profile] abandonreality ! i- i had to do it. how can i be an animation major and NOT do it.


- X what you saw
- O what you haven't finished/saw sizable portions
- Bold what you loved
- Strike for what you disliked/hated
- Leave unchanged if neutral


i feel like i need to see ALL of them... )
 

hikaranko: (biidah!)
nfufufufu~

so. since moving to this new apartment, we had no internet. and the deal between my sister and i is this: i shall henceforth be responsible for the internet bills. which means, i need to get a job first. sooo i've been looking for work for the past, like, 3 or 4 months and found nothing.

yesterday, randomly, someone opened up their internet. SOMEONE. OPENED UP THEIR INTERNET CONNECTION. so- i can moooch. but also? go figure that it's the same day that i get call from one of the places i applied to, one of the on-campus jobs.

also- let me repeat this: i got called to schedule an interview. i got called to schedule an interview.

and this is totally a job i can do. it's a student assistant Graphic Designer position. they want someone who can help them design posters for campus events, basically. i pretty much do this all the time for my church. every time there's an activity, they ask me to make flyers and stuff for it. so, as you can imagine? I'M FUCKING EXCITED.

so the interview's on Tuesday morning (omg i'm gonna be leaving the apartment so damn early just to be sure i'm there) and i gotta bring in my resume and my portfolio. holy craaaaaaaaap i hope they hire meeee i soooo need a job.

on another note: I HAVE YET TO STOP WATCHING THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE NEW FMA ANIME. the opening is just- omg WOW. i have only a few issues with it so far. one is that: flashing to the big bad when the big ice array started up? i dunno. that struck me as just a little too soon. and i guess i also thought Kimbley was shown too quickly. but then again, their appearances both still leave them as pretty enigmatic, mysterious characters... so that's good. :3
the animation... is so... omg beautiful. i- i love studio bones for its animating skillz. sure, they're not very good at ending series, and they like, enjoy killing people off. but THE ANIMATION IS SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL. ever since Soul Eater, they're just like. exploding with awesomeness in that field. so i keep watching the episode over and over and over, just to admire the shiniessss...

* 3*

... okay- that's enough for now. i- i need to watch the opening again. talking about it made me wanna watch it. i'm so hopeless, omg

hikaranko: (Default)
wow... i'd forgotten how noisy it gets when my parents are here. my mom's sitting on the couch watching the Price is Right, and my dad's taken it upon himself to clean everything in the apartment. and then... i dunno, i guess their hearing is starting to go? so when they watch TV, the volume is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY high up and they have no idea. buhh... i'm uselessly lying here and blogging, but... whatever. i got another writing idea, and i have to get it out before i forget. sure it's like... massively angsty, but - hehe, i like it. ....i'm evil. >_>

anyways! my parents brought home with them a whole buncha clothes for us to pick from, so i thought that was awesome~ including this really cute dress thing! my sister and i were like, flailing all over it 'cause it was absolutely adorable. luckily my mom bought 2, so we don't have to worry about sharing. XD lots of jackets and stuffs... but i think my favorite thing my parents brought were the seven packages of pastillas. * 3*  i-i love that stuff. it's one of the things i miss most about the philippines. basically a mix of sugar and milk. MMMMMM~~~

at any rate, i've been thinking of something. i've apparently turned into an OTP arist. on top of the like. 5000 drawings i've made for Ed and Lina, i have just added stuffs for Marron Glace (Sorcerer Hunters)/Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist), Tony Stark (Iron Man)/Kaylee Frye (Firefly), and Kanda Yuu (D.Grayman)/Lady (Devil May Cry). they turned out really cute! so these have led me to wondering whether or not i should like. start charging for this stuff. XD i would totally take commissions and stuff on dA if i... knew people would actually buy something. i mean, it's one thing to know people would want to buy, and another thing entirely to know they actually would buy it. so just... that dubiousness makes me iffy on the idea.

i think it'd be fun though. :3 and if it actually worked, at least i'd get a little bit of money, right? ...i don't know how that whole thing would work, but.... ah well. still something worth pondering.

...one other thing. my parents... really must stop nagging me. i don't respond to it well. it just makes me even less motivated to do things knowing that they're gonna be on my back the whole way. which is horrible of me, but i... can't... help it. >_<

h-hey?

Dec. 12th, 2008 11:04 am
hikaranko: (Default)
so. i like. just realized? i haven't put up a post since otakon. i even promised a part 2 to that report... WHOOPS. i wonder where that went. >_>

a-anyways... AT LEAST I'M ALIVE. this is good! i've been like, distracted. by various shiny objects that i won't name. ...okay i'll name one. cookies. yes, the cookies distracted me.

okay, i'll seriously name one... this was only just recent, but it had me flailing around for a few days... my computer had a virus. it had this *@&#)(ing virus that wouldn't go away. i downloaded several different anti-virus software (i made sure each one was an actual, legit one before getting it) and i swear, NONE of them could do it. they could detect the virus, but they couldn't make it go away. so i was searching the webz for help, which was difficult because the virus would be like "OMG POP UPS! 8D OMG SLOW WEBZ YEAH THAT PAGE DOESN'T WORK SO HARDYHARHAR~" but eventually... i triumphed over evil.

GOOD > EVIL.
ME > COMPUTER VIRUS.
that's right. hellz yeah.

so my computer is like, spotless now. and it had better as all hell stay that way, or there will be one very angry me on the loose in the streets of LA. we're talking insane computer store raids here with chantings of "me want Macbook NAO BETCHES". ...but- nothing to worry about at the moment. i'm cool. i'm chiiiiillll~~~

oh oh oh, other updates. uhhhhhhhh... (1) still fixing Edward Elric cosplay. <_< belt hurts our feelings, but i think i figgered it out, so YAY~ (2) i made like. 5000 arts since my last update. and one flash video. but i think you've all seen those by now. XP  (3) all my manga are exploding off the charts. FMA. FMA, OMFG, man. and a bonus to an FMA manga that OOZES AWESOME?? IT'S GETTIN ANIMATED. in April 2009, hellz yeah, i'm excited liek WHOA.  (4) BOLT IS AN AWESOME MOVIE GO WATCH IT NOW PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

(5) i passed all my classes in school this quarter! go me~

....i think... that's it. yeeeaaaaahhhhh, my life is really exciting, isn't it. XP



oh, ALSO. that thing i posted earlier? plurklelurlke? is such a funny little thing. :3

hikaranko: (mischief)
SO!! my first time at Otakon was a smashing, very much AWESOME success of a trip. and now i come bearing pictures of the trip!!

we left from San Diego airport at some hideously early hour and got to Baltimore in the afternoon on Wednesday. we found Mama-Manda in the airport, and so she joined our party and we became a group of 8. then we had to take a shuttle out to our hotel, which was a pretty nice, short trip. no complications there, outside of the fact that we had to like, pay. which was sad for us poor people. but anyways, got to our hotel and checked in... we had one room for like... 8 people, at first. and it was a tiny ass room. i actually wasn't able to stay at the hotel that first night, 'cause my sister came and got me so i could go to church in the morning (she bought me dinner too, which was MMMMM DELICIOUS *drool*), but from what i heard they did successfully squish 8 people in there.which really is quite impressive, considering. o_o









...and- i must run. D: more stuff later!!

Pre-Otakon!

Aug. 6th, 2008 09:24 pm
hikaranko: (excitement)
SO!!! currently, i'm at my sister's place in Washington DC, because i have to go to church tomorrow morning, BUT. it's still a big deal that i'm even on the east coast right now! so here's the rundown so far:

Lady arrived in LA on Sunday morning, and in the afternoon she and her relatives grabbed me on their way down to Escondido/Temecula/San Diego area, where Jenali lives. i've only ever talked to Lady online before, so it was really exciting to see her. i was worried about her for a while, 'cause she said she'd grab me noonish - afternoonish, and when noon came and went without a word i got concerned that maybe something had happened to her. turned out that she was just asleep (jet lagged, comin' in from Australia and all) and we headed down together at around 4:30. i luuuuuuuuuvs Lady, by the way. she's awesome fun. :3 we talked about all kinds of random crap in the car, just whatever came to mind, and seriously, i luvs her~

but anyways, we headed down to Jenali's place, where i tackled her pets. because omg fat kitties and hamus, do want. XD they're just so damn cute!! and fat!! and LAKNVLAECL;AOWA LUFF. <3 we had to take them to her parents' place so they could be looked after while we were all at Otakon, but we also figured we'd just chill over there while we were at it. so we did, and we whittled the time away just hanging out and talking and watching old Disney movies. it was a whole lot more fun than it sounds, believe me. we took Lady to eat at Outback, where she was like "this is wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong~" and we just laughed... her and her Aussie pride. :3 and when we hit wee hours of the morning, we went to Denny's to get like... milkshakes and dessert.

we ended up going to sleep at like... 8 am. which was epic, for me. XD we spent the next day going around for cosplay stuff (yep, i've been pulled into the cosplaying thing, too~ <3 exciting!!), going to costume shops and Wal-Mart and stuffs... and i was helping Jen and Lady out with their masquerade skit! i really love the way theirs is going, it's just so cute. :P we spent Tuesday pretty much the same way... except we all fell asleep a lot earlier than 8 am. we fell asleep at like... 10. and then we all woke up at 3:30am, were like "hey, i'm hungry" and went to Denny's for breakfast. XD did some more last minute cosplay/skit prop shopping, and then headed back to Jen's place (we spent every night in her parents' house before that :P) to pack up our things and get ready to go. we also met up with a bunch more people who were leaving with us, friends of Jen's and her roommates'.

which takes us to... this morning! even though it feels like it was last night. we pretty much did not go to sleep. the flight was at 6:30am, so we're like, okay get there early, and since San Diego is still some ways away from Temecula, we decided we'd head out at around 2am. we get to the airport at 2:45 (how about that :P)... and it turns out we can't even check in until 4:30. soooo, we kill time in the airport by hanging around and playing with our DSs. because we're awesome like that. hell yeah. :3

other than that... flight went smoothly. went from San Diego to Atlanta, which arrived slightly later than planned, so getting from that plane to the next one that went to Baltimore was a little hectic. we all tried to get in some proper sleep on the plane rides, some of us more successful than others. buuuuuuuuuut, arrival in Baltimore worked out great. we found Manda in the airport at the baggage claim, and we all headed to the hotel together via Super Shuttle. i had to leave them temporarily for the sake of church things, but i'll be back with them tomorrow morning. :P but that's cool, 'cause i've kinda missed my big sister and it's good seeing her again. family's important, y'know? but they also understand that i wanna hang out with my friends, too, so they're getting me back to them ASAP. ^.^

tomorrow, we're supposed to meet up with EVEN MOAR PEOPLE, for which i am quite the excited. and then actual Otakon starts on Friday, so that's EEEEEEVEN MOOOOAAAAAR exciting!! 8D i totally cannot wait~~

well anyways. that's enough outta me! i'll put up a big thing with PICTURES once the whole thing's actually over and done with. :3 g'night for now, guys!
hikaranko: (excitement)
I FINALLY GOT TO GO TO AN AX. AND THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY. 8D

now, i know that it probably wasn't as good as previous years or whatever, but i'm just happy that i got to go. :D

so i went with Jenali and her roomies. they drove up from San Marcos, and originally they were gonna make my apartment the home base of operations during the con... but then we were like "okay, parking is impossible and it's really much too hot to walk from the parking place to the thing in costume" so we found a really cheap hotel nearby (across the street! we were all amazed it still had available rooms!) and checked in there. and- oh wait, i'm getting ahead of myself.



man, i really wish i had pictures... especially of that guy who Rickrolled everyone in the hall. XD




SO ANYWAY. that was my first Anime Expo! 8D i have nothing to compare it to, and i was just really excited to be there, so i dunno how good or bad it was. but i liked it anyway. ^.^ next con i go to, I'LL HAVE A MORE COMPLETE ED COSPLAY. and that makes me sublimely happy! 8D

and now... i'm tired. XD update = DONE.

uh. oops.

Mar. 25th, 2008 09:40 am
hikaranko: (confused)
 ehe. eheheheh. apparently i never update anymore. OOPS. >_>

anyways!! let's try this updating thing out right now, shall we?

last quarter: despite the crazy as all hell schedule that i was stuck with and being on campus from sun up to sun down, it was a really good quarter. it helps to have crazy friends to pass the time with. literally from 1 to 4, we'd be watching anime stuff, or forcing each other to work on animation things. mostly watching anime. mostly giggling like the bunch of insane people that we are over Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged. :P

classes were good. the mid term we had for Animation history was like, RIDICULOUSLY EASY... he practically gave us the answers in the multiple choice sections. no joke. the actual animating class was quite fun! one day i'll upload my project to YouTube or something so people can see my ridiculous 1 minute ghetto anime-style thing. XD one of these days, i shall. ...really! promise~ as for life drawing... well, it's life drawing. XD lots of nude people. i am now apparently fully accustomed to seeing nude figures of every variety. and i do mean every variety. and computer graphics... meh. i totally skipped the last week of class because i got sick and my project was gonna end up horribly horribly late anyway, soooo... ^_^ ohoho. i e-mailed him and gave him the nice version of "i'm sick and stressed and i don't got time to go to class and give you my project on time. will e-mail it later. DEAL WITH IT."

i still got good grades. WOO!

classes for this quarter... well, i just added 2 yesterday, which means i missed the first day for one of them. so it's Computer Grafix pt2, Animation pt2, Advanced 2D Art, and Cultural Emotion. i'm very curious about that last one. it sounds like it has potential to be a hit-or-miss class. a little worrisome, but eh. the schedule's infinitely better than last quarter, so all is well on that front. no more waking up between 5 and 5:30 (THANK. GOD.). and there's nothing occupying Wednesday nights... so if i get my driver's license before like, the end of May, i might be able to make visits to Chapman again!! XD dahh, i really hope i do. this should be incentive for me to practice more and take the damn driver's test already...

hmmmmm... other news. got to play video games over my week-long break! moar Tales of the Abyss!! and i swear, that game affects me way too much. twice now i've started crying while playing that game. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP DYING ON ME. DEHHH. but i will have my revenge yet. very nearly finished with the game~ just doin' fun sidequest things now. getting costumes so that everyone'll look really funny while fighting the big bad boss. XD

mangas
Naruto: WAAAAAAAAAH. holy crap. another one of the longest fights ever. :P
D.Grayman: WAAAAAAAAH. people need to go and KICK SOME ASS. >D
Bleach: FOR. THE. LOVE. OF. CRAP.
Ouran HS Host Club: WHY HIKARU. WHYYYYY?!?!?!
Fullmetal Alchemist: OOOOOOOOOMG I'M IN LOVE AGAIN~
and i've been reading a whole bunch of other mangas ever since i found fellow crazy people to hang out with in school. i borrow series from them, and they're all SO GOOD/FUNNY. ummm... i've been looking at Love Attack, Heaven, Mars, Getbackers, Guidance Club (i want MOAR, why is volume 2 nonexistant?!), Zombie Loan, finished off both anime and manga of Pretear, currently pulling myself through Slayers Next and TRY, probably gonna start Eyeshield 21 soon, just might get into the Yu-Gi-Oh manga... there's probably more that i can't remember right now. XD but yes. lots of anime goodness~

hmmmm. can't think of anything else to say! oh, for anybody who reads my silly epic fanfic, there has been some progress in it even though i totally fail at writing for Snape!! HUZZAH. and speaking of silly things... i put up a silly thing on YouTube, but i am stil working on it to make it longer. so more on that when it's nearing completion. :P

.... yeah. okay i'm done now!! on with your lives, you lovely people you~ ^_^

oh, hi. :P

so five million and a half years later, i update my LJ. aren't i just so on top of things.

and here's a school update:
the classes are actually pretty fun. amazingly enough, says the girl who hates all things relating to school. and it's even better 'cause i actually know at least one person in all of my classes. so i have friends! it's amazing! wow i'm pathetic but at any rate, the classes are as follows: Intro to Computer Graphics (in which we muck around with Photoshop and stuff all day), Animation History (in which we watch cartoons all day), Life Drawing (in which we draw nekkid peoplez all day), and Intro to Animation (in which we actually make pictures move all day). it's a lot of work, but they're lots of fun.

the only downside to having these cool classes? their insane schedules. i have to wake up at ungodly hours of the morning to get to campus on time. Computer Graphics and Animation History are scheduled for bloody 8 in the morning, so on the days i have those i have to be up by like 5:30 and be gone from the apartment around 6:15ish, depending on whether or not i'm willing to put up with high schoolers when i get to Union Station. if i'm not, i gotta leave earlier. what a trade off. so yeah. and then the other two classes are scheduled to start at 4:20 (and go on until hours between 6 and 8). so i'm literally doing nothing and just hanging around campus from 10:30 to 4 everyday. good thing i know people to hang out with. XP

i need to start driving and get my license or something. must.. make it... to... club... >_<

in other news. i went with said friends to Little Tokyo and perused the anime shops~ there were all these plushies and manga and hats and bags... there were these hilarious Ed and Al hats (Ed's would've been absolutely perfect if it had the braid and the antenna.. Al's, i loved XD) and loads of Naruto hats, and Mario hats, and Sonic and Shadow hats... they were adorable, i loved them. and i totally succumbed to the power of the store, and i ended up buying an Ed plushie and an FMA handbag thing. so unhealthy the obsession >_> didn't get any manga due to lack of monetary funds, so that was probably a good thing. we also went to the arcade and hung around there for a little while... heh, we're such geeks...

hmm. i should probably focus on class. XP someday i will elaborate on the east coast trip. but for now, back to mucking around with computers~
hikaranko: (excitement)
I WIN IT BECAUSE MY ART HOMEWORK IS FINITO.
yes, i deserve a pat on the back. because it aches from bending over the paper for the better part of the last 2 hours.

*stares at icon* i want moar of those.


ANYWAYS!! amazingly, yesterday, i put a game into my PS2 with the intent to play it. really play it. like, play the hell outta that sucker. and this is amazing because i haven't seriously played any video games in so long, and i only realized it yesterday while i was playing it. it's .hack//G.U. vol.1 and i think it's out up to volume 3 now, but i i'm slow stfu gtfo my ps2. one day i will get Shadow of the Colossus (SLOOOWWWWW I AM) and then i still need to replace my frikkin' Tales of the Abyss so i can finish the damn thing. AND, HAHA, I'M STUPID, because while i was playing .hack, i was like "hey! Kuhn's voice is familiar! it's Guy from Tales of the Abyss!" and then i went to check just who in the hell that is in real life. and HAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S JOHNNY YONG BASCH, I LOVE HIM MORE NOW.

and so now we do the little "i am a voice actor stalker fangirl person" jig/dance thing of insanity. since both Yuri Lowenthal (Sauce-kay, and more importantly Luke fon Fabre in ToA) and Johnny Yong Basch are in this video game, Haseo and Kuhn are no longer Haseo and Kuhn to me. they are Luke and Guy, which makes me giggle 'cause Luke and Guy are best friends and Haseo and Kuhn kinda sorta yeah actually they really do hate each other. ooooh, or they could be Sasuke and Ichigo. 'cause that just sounds like more win.

in other news!! it is time to get myself a new book to read! i have finished The Alchemyst: Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel (book 1 of an apparent series) and Endymion Spring (just finished that on the bus home today!). i still need to delve deeper into the alchemy book i borrowed from Chelsea - a REAL ALCHEMY book, which cracks me up in every way possible - so there's that. but i also wanted to read The Princess Bride because my sister just got her copy back from whoever in the heck she lent it to. and, OOOH, there's the pretty Lewis Carrol compilation book that my sister and i bought from CostCo a little while ago. i couldn't resist, it was just bound so prettily, and it's LEWIS CARROL for crying out loud. ... it might be hard to tote around though. it's, like, huge. :P

so! okay! now! so! okay! now! i need food stuffs! nourishment, it is good for the brain! i think you can all tell that i'm insane again! ^_^ so, OFF I GO, WHEEEEEEEEEE~

okay, because i am slow and ridiculous like this. i really should've posted this sooner but, yeah. i fail. XP anyways!

I LOVE CHAPMANITES~ ♥

Anime Club last Thursday night was fun as always! we're such terrible, terrible people for making fun to Death Note (L's "SHINIGAMI WHUT?" reaction still cracks me up) and Fullmetal Alchemist ("lol hostage lol", "gtfo my shoulder") but it's all in good fun. Light, L, Edward, we love you guys~ i'm a little sad that FMA won't get to continue, but oh well, right? i've seen it all... and it was dubbed, so that was kinduva downer. i mean, i like the dub fair enough, but there are still the odd complaints in various... many... places throughout. like NINA. good Lord, who casted that voice for her? >_< but randomly shouting "LOL (insert random item on screen here) LOL" throughout the FMA episodes was still fun.

aside from that, i am always going to love visiting them crazy Chapmanites. i can't even fully explain how much fun it is being around you guys, and you all know how awesome you are, so i don't have to get into it. right? right. ^_^

but i so procrastinated while i was over there. *shakes fist at Chelsea* we really should've worked on that script we're writing but gah, we are so made of fail. and Extreme Ghostbusters (which i have addicted her to, BWAHAHA) and Gargoyles and other miscellaneous 90's cartoons were distracting us for a good hefty portion of the day. agrah. digression. digression and procrastination, two things of which we must all be aware. ...pity that they can be such good fun.

and Amy and Caitlin!!! ♥ Kingdom Hearts costumes at the DCA for the win. once again, i am made of colossal fail so i only saw the pictures like, JUST NOW, i'm pathetic but i totally keysmashed and giggled madly over those pictures. especially Riku with the VILLAINS. LOLOLOL THEY HAS AN EVIL DARKNESS. i'm going to comment spam Amy's post later when i'm not in class. XP

but yeah, while procrastinating we would also go pester Amy and Caitlin because they are awesome and we love them. have some more html hearts guys~ ♥♥♥♥♥ (i like using those things now that i know how)
