This paper's coming along just fine

Sarcasm. Sarcasm.

I have to write a paper for my English class, it's really simple: just a 500-700 word argument on whatever we want to write about. Ugh, why is the easy stuff just so hard to do!? I came up with a topic and although I'm almost done with it, I just can't seem to finish it. I don't really even like what I'm writing anyway... It's about texting and how dumb it is, but I just don't like how I wrote it.

In other non-school related news: Last month I bought Ace Attorney Investigations- Miles Edgeworth. I finished it in about a week and a half. It was pretty good and I was pleasantly surprised. I love the Ace Attorney series, but I don't really care for Edgeworth- who is a prosecutor- the main character's rival. But although I still don't care for Edgeworth too much, I liked his character in the game. A lot of the new characters were interesting and fun, especially my two new favorites Shi-Long Lang and his assistant Shih-na. This game had quite a few surprises that were well...quite surprising!! I would talk about them in more detail, but that would take up too much space and time... The only thing I didn't care for is that it was too easy. I usually have to spend forever thinking up the correct answers in the past AA games, which would then resort to just finding the answer online, but I only had to look up the answers once or twice and other times were to just confirm a hunch I had- which to me, is too easy.

Yay!! :D

Umm, what else...?? I've been really wanting to go to some more conventions, there are quite a few near where I live. There were two last month, both an hour away from me, but nobody could go with me ;_; My sisters both had work, and so did all my other friends. Jessica "conveniently" had to work and then go to a dance performance on the day of the other convention. I just don't understand...Why would she not want to go to an anime convention when she friggin' likes anime and Japanese stuff?! I told her everything that happened at Ohayocon and she kept saying that she wished she could go, but everytime I invite her, she just says no.
Whatever. Anyways, I would like to go to a lot more cons and there are a lot of people I really want to cosplay as. Such as older Ema Skye from the Ace Attorney series (well, Apollo Justice), Shih-na (AAI), Hatsune Miku (Vocaloid), and Megurine Luka (also from Vocaloid). *SIGH*

Thinking about buying a new outfit for Ellie. Just something that's kind of cheap from Dollmore. It's a pink mini dress with a matching lolita style headband, a pair of bloomers, and knee-high socks. I would really like to get her a blonde wig because she looks really cute with them on some of the pictures on Dollmore. On Saturday, I took some pics of her and my Jessica's doll, Liebe, and I stole the blonde wig Jessica bought. She doesn't want me to use it because she's afraid that it'll get tangled up, but I used it anyway, just to see how Ellie looked in it. She looked pretty cute!! :]


Ellie with blonde hair :] I didn't get to touch up the picture yet :\


Jessica's doll, Liebe. I touched up the picture...well, tried.

Oh, I think I forgot to mention that I changed Noel's name to Ellie. I don't know how long this name will last, but I prefer it to Elodie Noel or just Noel. She's too cute and happy to have a drawl name. Not that I don't like the other two names, I just think Ellie is cute for her...for now XD

I'm thinking about selling some old stuff I don't want anymore... I'm having a hard time deciding what I want to sell... Of course, it doesn't help that I'm at school XD Well, I should go now. Enough random blabbering...

New post since how long...??

Yeah, it's been awhile. Spring is here, but it's been feeling like summer these past few weeks... Ohayocon is way done and over with, along with two other cons that were right near where I live D: It was fun, although I lost one of my circle lenses two days before the con ;_; I never got to wear them both, just one *sobs*

Spring quarter started 3 weeks ago. I'm taking Ger 203, and in that class, you have to write papers in German. I'm not confident in my grammar at all, so I'm pretty nervous about all that, but my instructor is usually lenient when it comes to writing, which makes me feel a bit better. But still. After this, there are only conversation and composition classes. I'm also taking Bio, Eng, and Rel. Bio is boring beyond reason, mostly because it's too long and while I don't mind my professor, she just drags things out too much, she goes on and on about certain topics. Also, waking up early for 8:30 lab sucks. I hate waking up early...

So yeah, that's about it right now. Too tired to post much of anything else. More later :D

I LIIIIIVE!!

Wow, so I haven't posted here in awhile... Quite a few things happened over the past few months: I passed all my fall classes except for my stupid regional studies class, my break was really long and mostly uneventful, my mom and my sister got into a huge fight. It was really scary; my period last month was so bad, I threw up twice and I started to convulse from the pain and from having a panic attack at the same time; Christmas was pretty fun, we got a Wii!!!!!!! That thing is so addicting and fun!!

I got a lot of cute things for Christmas: a Rilakkuma calendar, a pouch(I keep some of my make-up in there), and a cute folder my mom bought just because; two pairs of Hello Kitty socks, slippers; and, this is the best, a Hello Kitty HAT!! It's so cute!! It's shaped like HK's face. I need to post some pics!! I got some things for Noel: a skirt, a bunny shirt, matching socks, two wigs, a pair of eyes, and a "circus" outfit (not really, but they call it "Bon bon Circus Set" on Dollmore...) and they all look great on her (of course!! x3).

Also, I got another Super Junior poster and the Super Junior Super Show dvd, which I was very, very excited about!! I watched it with my mom and she was beyond freaked out by it. In between each song they performed, they would put in these random, stupid little shorts that ranged from weird animations to riding roller coasters to have a "showdown" by shooting food at each other. Not to mention the fanservice freaked her out too, where the boys would do little "gay" things to each other to please all the yaoi fan girls... I just laugh at those because I know they're not serious... Other than the weird fillers, the DVD was really enjoyable, it had them perform some of my favorite songs(although, they don't have any from their 3rd album because it was filmed before that...) as well as some of the members sang solos or sang with one or two other members, or one would sing while another accompanied them on piano. Those songs were lovely and Donghae's song, which was dedicated to his late father, brought tears to my eyes ;_;

On New Year's Eve, I thought I was going to die of boredom, but luckily, Yudi called me and asked if I wanted to go to this "mini party". I of course said yes!! We(along with our friends Cassandra and Kristin) went to her bf's friend's apartment and had some drinks(I had a bit too much XD) and played Apples to Apples while watching Time Square on her bf's lappy. At midnight, we all drank some champagne and toasted the New Year!! We also played Scattegories, which is not easy while intoxicated DX

Theeeeennn school reared it's ugly head last week. I'm taking Classics, German 202, and a math class for dummies. I hate that class with a passion. It's so time consuming because you can't move forward on anything until "proctors" come and check off your work. It has to be 100% correct before you move on. While it is a good idea to get the basics down, it's just too dang long.

A couple of days ago, a friend of mine, whom I met in my drawing class a few years back and we have a lot in common, finally texted me after so long. Anyways, she asked me if I wanted to go to Ohayocon with her and of course, I said YES!! I'm sooo excited!! I've never been to an anime con or any con in my life, so this should be a new experience. Yes, I am indeed going to dress up!! I just ordered my costume online, and I'm going to be Haruhi from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. While it's not my *favorite* series(mostly because it can get so darn confusing), I love Haruhi's character: she's outspoken, odd, and doesn't give a rat's ass about what others think of her. She'll do almost anything to get some excitement in her life because she's bored with humans, so she sets up a club to look for time travlers, espers, and aliens(which are all under her nose, but she has no idea). Here's a pic!!

If any anime fan has NOT heard of her, I just... don't have any words...
In addition to the costume I ordered, I also ordered some brown circle lenses to make my eyes look more anime like. I don't know how good they'll look on me considering I have hazel eyes(the pupils in the lenses are very large, so the natural eye color shows through when looked at up close). I'm very excited and I'm PRAYING that they get here before the convention!! I'm also going to die my hair a darker brown and cut it a bit. I was going to buy a wig, but it was 27 bucks, plus 15 dollars in shipping and I'm not willing to fork out too much cash on this, I already spent enough on it.

Ok, enough rambling...

PICSPAM!!! 8D

My new Hello Kitty hat!! 8D


Rilakkuma pouch!! So soft :3


Here's what the inside looks like.


One of Noel's new outfits.

\
I tied the ears up in a knot. I just copied the idea from the Dollmore pics. They look so cute!! ^^ Oh, and she's also wearing her new blue eyes!!


Here she is with her new pink wig. I got it before her black one and her wine colored one. I love that bow in the circus set :3


New wine colored wig. I really like these pale blue eyes that I got awhile back on her. They look great with all of her wigs and clothes. Not too dark(since they're acrylic), not too light.

Random things...

Ok, so I haven't posted anything in awhile, not that anybody's reading this to care!! Anyways, so I went to Half Price Books a few days ago... I think it was Saturday, when, yet again, I found some really awesome stuff!! I found 2 Sailor Moon anime manga(they were just comics based entirely from the S.M episodes) in the original Japanese for only $4.98!! Not bad considering the regular price tag(from wherever this person bought it from), which was $10.98 each!! I also found a random issue of Nakayoshi- a Japanese magazine aimed towards young girls that is literally chock full of manga stories(and I thought Shoujo Beat was thick!!) They used to have S.M in there back when it first came out. But anyways, this was from 2008...May...I think?? I haven't had a chance to really look through it all, but I'm just still wigging out on all my super awesome, totally random finds!! 8D

So school's almost out, just three more exams and then I'm done for the friggin' quarter!! I was sooo excited that I got an A+ on my cultural narrative paper I had to write for English!! I wrote it on Irish dance and how annoying it is to have I.D be compared to Riverdance and other things. The comment that he wrote on my paper made me blush SOOO much!! It was just basically saying that the paper was well organized, interesting, and that I did a really good job writing it and stuff like that. 8DDDDD Ooooh, I can't help but blush like crazy whenever he talks to me, even write nice comments on my papers!! XD Oh and when he tries to talk to me in German...XD Very cute!! Ok, enough about my lil' schoolgirl crush kekeke!!

I was thinking on writing some more about school, but I'll do it later, when I'm not pulling an all nighter and can hardly see the keys on my keyboard.

Yay school's almost over for the quarter!! 8D

FINALLY!! I'm so ready for school to be done and over with. Well, at least this quarter. I'm sick of all the papers I have to write, I'm sick of waking up early in the morning (I'm not a morning person at all). Anyways, I still need to sign up for my classes for next quarter. I want to wait and see what grades I have so I don't sign up for the wrong classes or whatever. I still need to see my adviser and honestly, I'm scared of her. I've met her in person once but from what her emails were like and even how she was towards me when we met she seemed kind of rude. She seemed to cut me off when I tried talking to her and she never told me what I needed to do for my major. She just suggested some classes for me that I should take for winter quarter and that was it. She didn't mention the rest of the classes I should take for the future or whatever. I need to switch advisers or something.

Halloween just happened a few days ago. It was beyond boring for me. I did nothing except read a little bit and pass out candy to the kids. I don't see what's so great about Halloween... I think it's one of the holidays I can live with out.

Apparently, I need to write a paper for my regional studies class which I had no idea we had to. I need to come up with a topic soon. I don't think he even mentioned anything about the paper. I know that we have to write about something current in the Middle East(at least I think we do) but that's about it. I also need to write my English paper as well as rewrite my comparative studies paper. It's pretty interesting because I'm writing about Japanese fashion, which I'm really interested in.

Errr, that's it for now. I'm tired and bored.
