I could give you an update.

Or, I could do a survey.

( I'm thinkin' the latter. Stolen from Liz. )

I'm lazy and haven't checked LJ in a week.

Give me a rundown of your weeks, f-list.

Mine:
- I don't remember how the actual week went. I remember working a lot, though. Yeah.. I worked all week.
- Party yesterday, BLUE LABEL, mafia, cursed someone out in front of a cop, oh kat! You're so charming and witty!
- Who said Brutal Legend was bad? IT'S VERY ENTERTAINING, ACTUALLY.
- I want to write/direct/produce a Hetalia cosplay fanfilm in which we don't flower up history and everyone is a douchebag.
- Nerds, nerds, nerds, and I love 'em all.
Going to work soon. Tiff gave me Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to read. Should be starting new diet, no time, must type in incomplete sentences forever!

Since I haven't provided much of one.

- I've gone and gotten myself a Queens phone number. PM or IM me for that. I did this for the sole reason that I'm going to be spending more than half of my twenties here in the city, and I needed some geeky hippie closure via the changing of numbers from Florida to NYC. I'm getting a state I.D. soon, and attention a New York-based college, and eating New York Pizza. All of this is to validate my existence and the time that I will be spending here. So, uh.. so there.

- With that, I plan on taking a break from my history studies to go for the one-year directing course at New York Film Academy. Afterward, I plan on returning to my history degree and using both to rule the world.

- I still want to start a band. Someone, help me learn how to play the guitar like a God. No, seriously, I mean it -- I really want to play well, and I own one now (thankyouSonnyailu) so I might as well make good use of it. I've only got the most basic of knowledge, so help me out, please.

- This friday, I'm going to Strawberry Fields in Central Park to hang around for John Lennon's birthday. If anyone wants to come, let me know. <3 I'll probably be bringing a canvas and some oil paints out, so I'll be there until sunset-ish, when I have to take off and meet up with Aisha.

- On that note, we're probably going back on sunday to have a picnic. Again, give me a heads up if you'd like to come along!

- I've had a revalation, and it feels mighty fine.

- I went shopping for bright flourescent yellow-green satin/silk fabric today. Best Group of 2010 is in the making, my friends. :]

Uhm, and that's it, so far. My life is just full of excitement!

I love this show so much. :<

Slight spoilerage for episode 4.

BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL, HOHO!

I've been working on costumes and school, so things have been a smidge busy lately. Things for NYAF are almost done -- finishing the details on Yomiko today, then it's all about Crystal's costume until thursday! Here go the plans for the weekend:

THURSDAY:
- (POSSIBLE) ALYKAT REUNION. We need to stop making these things reunions and turn them into consistent hangouts, ladyfriend. Let me know if you're still up for it!
- Might be going to the NYAF pre-party later that night? Is it worth it/free?

FRIDAY:
- lolwork.
- Meeting up with Misa after work.
- ???

SATURDAY:
- NYAF. Wearing Yomiko!
- Evening festivities in honor of Misa's Birthday! Kenka, Karaoke, and Booze. If anyone wants in on our traveling party, let me know!
- Hopefully managing to make it to my bed so that I can pass out, drunk.

SUNDAY:
- NYAF. Wearing.. idk. Misa, can I borrow some rori?
- Uh, I have no idea about what we're doing after the con. :[

SO YEAH, hit me up and let me know what you guys are up to. I know Dee and the others will be in town, so let me know if you guys wanna' meet up.

Oh, and here we go. Yomiko Progress.


ZAH PEYPAH.. is coming to NYAF.

Stop judging me, this is comedy gold.



In other news: I'm uh.. prolonging my move to California.

For at least five years.

Dig it.

I'm starting to finally understand how one can find calm within a storm.

Which is lucky, because we're supposed to get a lot of those, this week.

what a crazy fucking day.

I received your poems weeks ago, and while that may not seem like a long time, digging them out of my suitcase made me nostalgic.

I was far too young to truly know you before you left us. I have stories, memories, videos, three frogs and a birthday card or two to go off of, but - like the brat you knew me to be - I want more. I think, more than anything, the poems you wrote (though I only have six in my possession) are the closest thing I've ever experienced to consciously bonding and sharing time with you. I see you through Pops, and even in me (mainly through the big, unavoidable Dennis family schnoz on my face that I credit entirely to you), and the fact that I missed out on so much time with my father this weekend makes me feel even more distant from you and your side of my family.

Despite all of the interactions with Mom's family, your side always felt the most welcoming; it was you and Abuela who took care of me, and I'm pretty sure that you intentionally hogged me from my parents, but I don't think any of us were bothered by it. You gave me the best chocolate in the world (the name of which I cannot remember), and I ate it, watching Sesame Street in Spanish while the smell of Abuela's cigarettes peppered the room with tobacco and something strangely comforting.

I miss you, Abuelo, but I'm glad that you left so much for us to remember you by. I'm glad that you left these poems behind, detailing various thoughts and events that mattered to you, people that you loved, instances throughout your life that, while remaining an overall mystery to me, make me feel as though I know you that much more.

I'm going to read through the poems again, and then I'm going to finish cleaning.

Tell me something about your day that made everything seem nice.

For me, it was running away to Tiffany's and eating her delicious cooking.

Cosplay progress is ... coming along. :[ In the meantime --

I'm running really short for Otakon, so here are three wigs that really need to go!

( Wigs behind the cut! )</div>
Shipping on each item is $5. If you're interested, please, comment or PM me! I really need to get rid of these wigs so that I can, like.. eat food at the con. :[
