oh my goodnessss

I have been crazy busy lately, wtf when did this happen? I finished up a few big projects/documents at work that I have been working on for a couple months and I'm extremely relieved and excited they're finished, I'm almost done with my cosplay/personal giant massive website of doom and Saturday I helped Nate move all of his stuff from Maryland to Virginia into the new place he is renting. It has been busy but good. XD

But now it is time for an update! BECAUSE I MISS YOU, LJ. <3

Life: Wait I already updated that above. Hehe.

New Buddies: *waves to all the people from the magical friending memes as of late* Yayyyy!

Costumes: Last weekend I got some stuff done on costumes -- this hasn't happened in awhile! XD I worked on the design for the Queen Tenel Ka outfit I'm hoping to make/finish for Balticon (already got the fabric for the dress, need to get the fabric for the outer coat/cape thing), started a new pouch for my YJK Tenel Ka and painted the Pie Hole box and got shoes for my Chuck (Pushing Daisies) outfit. Sadly, Desert Rose Dee (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) has been dropped from the Dragon*Con costume list cause we're not sure Brian would really want to walk around in long johns -- which is totally understandable, hahah. And Dee would be no fun without Charlie & the Waitress (plus we lack a Mac and a Dennis). This means there is an empty spot on my D*C costume list. It will most likely be filled by Chuck or possibly the new Queen Tenel Ka outfit or some other costume I will already have (it will definitely be Queen TK if there is a Caedus floating around somewhere)~ XD

RPPPPPPPPPING: MAJOR PLOT starts today at Mr. Multi-Fandom Revelry Junction. This is exciting because mostly it's been everyone getting settled and moping around for FOUR YEARS, LOL. They're finally gonna do something. I also think I might pick up Louis (L4D) and possibly James Sunderland (SH2). But Nate and I were talking the other night... Donald Duck totally has to come into the game. MUAHA.

Making Crap!: I got my button maker in the mail last week and I have been flipping out all weekend making all kinds of buttons from pictures I had around and pictures from old magazines (Jacen Solo, Tenel Ka, Mara Jade, Hotel Dusk, Silent Hill 3/4, The Sims, Left 4 Dead, Dead Space, Xenosaga, BioShock, Mass Effect, Organization 13, Devil May Cry, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON~). I'll be putting some up on Etsy soon cause as much as I love making them I can't have them all sprawled around my workspace (there are some up right now!)~ XDDDD

Vacation: This weekend Mom, Duane and I are doing to the GLITTERING LAND OF PITTSBURGH (lol) to visit Valerie and Brian. I'll take pictures for my Photo midterm while I am there and also generally geek out, which is what we normally do when everyone is together. Also, SONIC. This will be hell on TEH WEIGHT WATCHERS, but WW can suck it for one weekend because Sonic is MAGIC (we don't have one around here -- which is why I find it so MAGICAL XD).

Then in June, Nate, Valerie, Brian and I are going to California! :o I have never been to CA (farthest I've been is Las Vegas and that was almost a decade ago) and I am excited because DISNEYLAAAAAAAAND. Now, I am a total Disney nerd. Especially when it comes to Walt Disney World. So to go to the park that started it all (excuse me, I'm having a total nerd moment here) and be strolling around the same places Walt Disney did, I will go crazy. <333

I am already apologizing to Nate, Valerie and Brian in advance because I already know (especially while waiting in line to ride their Space Mountain) I will be FLIPPING OUT AND KICKING PEOPLE IN THE FACE OUT OF EXCITEMENT. D:

[/geek-out]

I guess that's all for now. I will be updating this thing better now that I am not stressed from work and all that other jazz. <3 XD

I'm on a crazy strict diet (MediFast. Super strict, but DAMN does it work. Down 29 pounds in 7 weeks so far) but I always believe that you're allowed a "cheat" day every now and then. Mine was St. Patrick's Day, and my cheat was doing some Irish Car Bombs. The most important thing about cheating is getting right back 100% on plan the next day.

I am jealous of your costuming skills and trip to D*Con. I haven't gone since 2002, and I keep begging (threatening?) to take hubby because he is an uber geek like me too. (We played Star Wars Trivial Pursuit last night. Seriously.)

That is so awesome that you're losing all that weight! :D And yesssss, I don't know if I could do without cheat days~!

YOU SHOULD COME BACK TO D*C! If he is an uber-geek then he would absolutely love it -- KEEP THREATENING/BEGGING!

D*Con won't happen this year, but possibly next year.

*waves back* =D =D

Super-impressed by all your costuming stuff!!! They all sound amazing!

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :D I'm by far not the greatest costumer, but the thing with it is that as long as you have fun with it, it doesn't matter if you're super great with it. Hehe~ It's definitely an amusing hobby.

Also, again I have to say... it's so nice to make new EU friends! :D

Lol, Have fun at sonic!! I'm an addict too, when there is one around... why can't there be one in Chicago!!??! :'(
I'm envious of your convention / costume festivities! Give the indie comic creators at the con some attention, they probably deserve it more than the big shots.

I KNOW! I am so sad that there isn't one around here! Whenever I mention how much I love it, people who have Sonic(s) near them are like, "Why are you so excited about it?"

They just don't get it cause they can have it all the time! XD

And I will definitely do that! You should go to Dragon*Con and get an artist's table! Your work is gorgeous and would fit in perfectly! <3333~
