PMX 2009

2009-11-10T08:14:11Z

One little day filled with soooo much fun!

Won best group craftsmanship in the masq, partied like a rockstar at the mongolian tea party, chatted up some friends in the lobby, then danced like a villian till 2 a.m.! Overall I'd say it was an amazing con!

Comic-con

2009-07-06T22:19:21Z

Holy crap, only two more work weeks left for cosplay!

f*ing Myspace

2008-08-29T07:14:48Z

Ever since they added those stupid applications things and had my friends force me to join them all I ever do is check myspace to see how my mob is doing or to buy accessories for my pet.

Damn you myspace for wasting my time.

Death

2008-08-18T08:05:01Z

I'm going to be 25 next month...someone please kill me. I've decided to celebrate by going to Las Vegas to get so smashed that I forget how old I'm turning. I wonder how long that will last...

Can't Stop the Itch

2008-06-14T04:24:28Z

So apparently last Friday I took a romp through some poison ivy and now I have a rash the size of China on my body. I hope it goes away before AX. I want to itch sooooooooo bad.

So Sad....

2008-06-06T01:10:52Z

So our skit for Comic-con has totally fallen apart and I feel so sad. Hopefully I'll still be able to participate in the masquerade by myself as Agitha. It sucks because I took the summer off from school so I'd have time to make Agitha and help Nicole make Matt's cosplay. So now that the big plans have fallen through all my classes are full. Basically I kinda feel like I gave up my summer for nothing. Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to get a second job and save up some money to complete the last two quarters of school.

Only an hour left before I can leave the fantastic city of Los Angeles so I can go home and pass out since I only slept for an hour last night. Yay Sleep!

It's Been a While!

2008-05-29T07:01:17Z

So life has literally swept me away in her current and I feel like I've hardly had time to do anything, so I decided it was time for a post! So one of my very best friends, Suzette, got married last weekend and had a pretty awesome wedding. All the bridesmaids looked like Saloon Girls, but its cool cause I got to wear my kick ass cowboy boots! I don't drink very often, but I have to say that I don't think I've ever been that intoxicated for that long before. I'm fairly allergic to alcohol and it either makes me pass out after a few hours or throw up. Somehow I managed to last all day.

Anyway, Anime Expo is coming up so quickly and I don't feel prepared at all. So many costumes to make and so little time. My friends and I have decided to do a Pokemon group and a Peter Pan group. I'm going to be Celebi from Pokemon and Tiger Lilly from Peter Pan. I'm very excited because I'm bring friends who have never been to AX before and its always fun to bring people to something new and share something that you love! I only have three more weeks of school left before cosplay hell begins and I'm free for the summer.

What I'm really looking forward to is Comic-Con because Twilight Cosplay is going to have an epic group and epic skit for the masquerade! So much cosplay so little time! Anyway, back to my huge amount of homework.

Mach Go Go Go!

2008-05-10T00:49:56Z

I went to see Speed Racer last night and it was everything I had hoped for an more! I'm in love with Speed, he looks so fucking hot in the racing outfits. Although the movie is certainly an acid trip I highly recommend that everyone go see it. Hopefully I get around to seeing it again before it leaves the theaters. I hope they make a sequel!

Sleep Deprivation

2008-05-02T01:33:58Z

So 1.5 hours of sleep = not fuctioning Kiyoko. So today I got up at 5 a.m. to drive to school in l.a. I get out of my last class at 5:45 and have to stick around for a couple hours until traffic dies down. Usually I spend this valuable time doing my homework, but since my brain has ceased to function for the day I'm sitting here doing nothing instead of homework.

I think I'll treat myself to a bowl of ramen in Little Tokyo before I go home today. I think I deserve it with all the hardwork I put in today.

I need a little sunshine to brighten up my dreary day.

Yuki Update

2008-04-25T21:54:21Z

So my kitty Yuki had to go in for surgery cause he swallowed like 5 feet of thread and wasn't eating for a few days. He's doing well and is recovering nicely. He is up and about playing with his other kitty friends. They stapled this time release pain patch on his neck which seems silly to me cause they STAPLED it on and its supposed to HELP the pain, not cause it! Anyway he's doing well and my anxiety levels have gone down for now.

There goes my bank account...

2008-04-23T18:16:19Z

So my mom had to take my cat Yuki to the vet. He isn't eating and is throwing up everywhere. We are really worried about him and $1000 later the vet has no idea what is wrong with him. So now I feel really poor, but my little Yuki is worth every penny! Hopefully they won't have to do any exploratory surgery, that would make him so miserable and I don't want him to have to go through that. Anyway, I won't find out more till later...I just hope my baby is ok...
.

It's too early for this shit...

2008-04-17T14:14:42Z

Urg, its a little past seven and I just got to school. It took me an xtra 30 mins to get here just because I left my house at 5:30 instead of 5:15! So lame, this is why I hate L.A. traffic and traffic in general. So now I'm sitting in the library writing my paper that I should have written last night, but figured I needed at least two hours of sleep in order to function today. Hopefully I can get this done now and not have to finish it over lunch. Anyway, lesson learned...procrastination bad...sleep good. Just so we're clear.

p.s.-I'm hungry already and I still have 4 1/2 hours till lunch :(

Socal Summer Gathering

2008-04-13T05:42:40Z

Yay for gatherings! Today was the Socal Summer Gathering located in the Irvine Regional Park. We got there around 12 rockin' our Gurren Lagann Cosplay. I finally finished Nia with a few minor things that I'd like to change. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad that I made it.

Progress

2008-04-01T21:34:16Z

The Socal Spring Gathering is only a couple weeks away and I'm slowly making progress on Adult Nia. I have most of the dress sewn, but the thing is I'm out of the fabric so I have nothing to make her cape with >< so I'm thinking of hunting down a different fabric that is about the same color and hope that works. I'm hoping to completely finish the dress this weekend and work on my shoes, jewelry, and wig next week. It'll be a push, but worth it all the same!

Oh My...

2008-03-20T12:01:27Z

Its 5:00 a.m. and I haven't gone to bed yet...Thursday is gonna be tough. At least my portfolio and final project are finished...I just have few more things that need to be done, but I can do that in class. Well I suppose I should try to get some sleep, waking up is gonna be hard.

2 down, 3 to go.

2008-03-19T17:52:44Z

Yay, I've finished two out of five finals...and I'm done with my final project for my third class. I'm surprised that I was able to get everything together and get shit done. I can't wait to begin Nia on Friday and hopefully get part of Agitha done during my break too. The stree has been crazy and I definantely need a break! I am kinda scared because I have so much left to do for my Thursday class...I have to compile a 12 piece collection with my partner and we've only got part of it done. I also have a designer portfolio due >< and to top it off I have to include 2 full-color sketches and do one flat sketch of a pair of pants. Argh! No sleep for me tonight T__T

Go Anxiety

2008-03-14T18:44:27Z

So yesterday I ended up coming home and falling asleep from 4-9:30 and going back to bed at 1:30 until 10:30. I think the stress of school is really getting to me. I have this interview project due next week and I haven't interviewed anyone. So its worth 75 points of my grade and I wouldn't turn it in if we didn't have to do an oral presentation. I have enough extra credit that I can go without it. So hopefully things will come together and my interviews will work out.

And this is just on top of the other millions of things I have to get done...some one shoot me please.

Ugh...Exercise

2008-03-09T20:21:44Z

So I decided that I need to get back in shape this summer not only for myself, but for cosplay. I want to be 115 by my friend's wedding in May and 110 by my birthday. So being the psycho I am, I ran for an hour and twenty minutes today. Trust me to overdo it in the beginning. Oh and my mom and I are going to do a half marathon (13.1 miles) in October. I also plan on running the Camp Pendleton Mud Run which is a 10k (6.1 miles) So it looks like this summer will be filled with hard runs and dieting (no more fatty foods, but I'll still pack in the carbs!)

Hopefully my dreams will be realized!

RIP D n' D

2008-03-06T21:52:08Z

So I heard that the creator of Dungeons and Dragons died....sad day.

Two Weeks Until Freedom!

2008-03-06T21:36:52Z

So I only have two weeks of the quarter left of school. I'm so happy I could cry, except I really do want to cry because I have a million projects that need to get done by then. I seriously feel so overwhelmed, I hope I can get it all done. So the next two weeks of my life will be spent in solitary confinement just to get it all done, but when I am done...Cosplay HELL will begin, which I'm really looking forward to. I have about a million costumes that need to be done. So during my three week break this is what needs to get done:

Adult Nia for the Socal Spring Gathering
Agitha for Comic-con ( I just need to get it started!)

Hopefully I'll have sometime left to get in shape cause I feel like a beached whale since I've been such a slug all winter, but now its sunny and I want to go running. I just have to get through life....

Bleh Homework

2008-03-05T06:54:42Z

So right now I should so be doing my homework...instead I'm procrastinating on the internet instead....I wonder if I'll get any sleep tonight. I wish I had someone to cuddle with ::sigh:: unfortunately that one is gonna have to wait a while T__T

F- You Phantom Hourglass!

2008-02-22T06:10:58Z

After months of slaving away over my D.S. I have FINALLY beaten The Legend of Zelda, Phantom Hourglass. Normally I love Zelda games, but after having to repeat the same damn dungeon four or five times I'm happy to chuck this stupid game back into its box. Overall I liked it, but the dungeon thing was ridiculous. Anyway, just thought I'd rant a bit now that I'm through...on to Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings!

Hello ^__^

2008-01-11T00:46:38Z

So everyone and their mom has a livejournal....why not me? I don't really know what to say except that it has felt AMAZING being able to rest the past couple of days. Costumes hell is done and over with for the mean time...who knows when it might pop up again and rear its ugly head. School began today and my teacher seems really out of it and scatter-brained....I need organization and order when it comes to learning. Hopefully she won't stress me out too much. So I suppose that's it for now.

Ja ne!
