First entry of this week. o_o Lots of things have happened in such a short amount of time. :|

   COSPLAY: First, I must talk about cosplay progress, like Renee. :D

• Main Dress-vest-ish - I sewed on the skirt too low. So now you can see the line. I'm gonna see if there's some way I can use the pink thing around her waist to cover it. I don't like people seeing ugly lines.
• Shirt - 80%. I have to redo the front lining of the neck because it looks retarded. Then I have to sew the shoulders together. I accidentally made it a bit too tight. >< Oh well, I've got the dress covering the bottom so no one's gonna see my fat belly. >.O
• Handwraps - 1%. Agh, I was making one and then I messed up on it. I just HAD to trim the hand part making it to tight for my fingers and then I stretched out the fabric and ripped it. >< So I had to start over.
• Gun - 55%. I have the armature of it done. I'm just papier-mache-ing it with tissue paper.. ~_~ Because I'm poor. My plans for making the trigger pull-able have failed and I gave up on it. xP I'm finding a way to make the place where you put the bullets stick out.
• Boots - 0%. ;__; I need padding for the soles. I don't know what to use. I was thinking about going to Target and buy a pair of $1 flip-flops and cut off the straps but then there're gonna be holes and it's gonna be uncomfortable to wear... So no idea. I might do what I did for Byakuya's.. shoes (shoot, forgot what they were called), that is, styrofoam.
• Hat - 50%. I have the hat. All I have to do is attach the silver things that the bow strings through.
• Belt Pack - 0%. I'm starting to disapprove of the fabric I bought to make it.. I need something that feels more.. strap-ish.
• Padding - 2%. I was just thinking about stuffing stuffing into my bra but then it makes a really deformed shape and boobs are round, ya know? Then I have to get myself a boob-crack because if I've got the goods and there's no crack, it's gonna be like wtf?? I think I'm gonna have to find something round-ish-shaped to cover over the padding.
• Wig - 0%. ;__; I don't know where to buy a blond wig. SHOULDN'T THEY BE COMMON?? The place I went (Party City; yes saddening. I'm too lazy to go anywhere I usually don't go. xP) only had crazy wigs. Nothing normal. xPP YESSUME~~! We need to go wig shopping at that place you recommended. ><
• Pink wide strap thing that goes around waist - 0%. That should be easy though.
• Underwear - 0%. I'm gonna feel really weird when I'm working on it...

GOAL DEADLINE: in 6 days
SHIOKAZECON: in 21 days 

   I plan to have all this finished in 6 days. Good luck Shrin. You better not slack off. I've only completed one part of the costume. =__= My gosh. This is saddening.

   PEPPLE: I've gone Shuji to Akira crazy. I dunno; I think I'm starting to like Johnnys. o_o I have this hot picture of Yamapi and Kame saved in my Favorites. Christina doesn't think it's that cool but xP. Yamapi's shirt isn't buttoned all the way, loose tie, AND TUGGING. I'd make it my wallpaper but it's not the clearest picture in the world. Aura, do you think you could help clear it up for me? =D

   I can't sleep at night thinking about Kame and Yamapi. ♥ Seriously. Actually, I can't sleep at night thinking about the Johnnys I know.

   Yay, I like doing the Seishun Amigo chorus dance. Speaking of dancing...

--

   DANCING: For some reason, I have fun learning dances from music videos. :D Why? Because I have no life, of course. Anyway, I know the Kirei Da dance. xD The one of the first chorus (I know that the best) and the stair dance. I'm not so smooth on the stair dance though. I need to loosen myself. Also, it's cuz I always end up forgetting some part of it. I don't know the dance they do at the end of the PV though cuz.. I just don't feel like learning it right now. Maybe I'll learn it later. :/

   See, I don't need any gym memberships. This is how I work out. :D

   Darn you JAC. Yall got me into w-inds.'s dances. >| And doramas. :D But it's all good.

   I would try learning all of the Seishun Amigo dance but they're a bit too fast for me. :D; I can't really catch up, I guess. OMG, first PV I've ever downloaded in my life!! "SEISHUN AMIGO". #1 selling single in Japan in 2005. Woot.

--

   DORAMAS: I actually did go through with watching the first episodes of Nobuta. wo Produce since I didn't watch them. o_o Yay; I like Nobuta. wo Produce. :D Nobuta power, chyu NYU! Bye-cycle and KON KON! Konnichi getsu ka sui moku kin! xD When I was watching all those Seishun Amigo performances back to back, in one of them, Kame and Yama did the KON! >< I squealed.

   I'm still watching Stand Up. Me being a noob just found out that Nino was part of Arashi, which is SADDENING (for me, not Nino). Then I went to watch the 'Wish' PV and found Sho-chan and I was like "OMG!! SHO IS HAPPY AND SINGING!!" It's always amazing for me when I find out people I know are in other things. I don't know why. It just is. Anyway, I'm on episode 6.

   ANNE SUZUKI. She was Natsuki from the Initial D live action! Wow, I so did NOT know that. I think she looked much better in Initial D than Stand Up.

   Yes, I'm annoyed at my noob statements too.

   At the same time, I'm watching Gokusen! Kya~~ I think MatsuJun looks really nice as Shin. Christina keeps hating Yamaguchi-sensei cuz she says she's ugly but I say she looks really nice without the glasses. xP Me and Christina are mean people and discriminate against ugly people. And there's another contradicting statement. I'd appreciate it if you'd keep the comments about me also being ugly because I already know and if I get them, then obviously, you didn't understand my 'contradicting' sentence. Because I have seen myself in the mirror.

   I squealed when I saw Oguri Shun. :D Reasons for me watching Gokusen: Jun and Shun. :DD

   KUROSAGI. AH~! Yamapi's new drama. Premiering April 14th.. >< I really hope it gets subbed quickly (but you know those fansubbers; they work quickly) because Nobuta's also in it!! =DD I was like, "Ooh! Akira and Nobuta! I want to see!" Well the first reason for me wanting to watch was of Yamapi. Now it's Yamapi AND Maki. :) Yes, I have no idea what Kurosagi's about. xD

   After all this, Gokusen 2, of course (for KAME!!!) and possibly Densha Otoko (for Shun and Maki) or GTO (for Shun, Nanako, & Hidenori). Either way, I'm gonna end up watching both sooner or later. :3

   Okay, just read a summary of Kurosagi. Shirosagi (white) swindle people out of their money, akasagi (red) swindle people of the opposite sex, and kurosagi (black) swindle shirosagi and akasagi. :D Kurosaki's (Yamapi) family got swindled by shirosagi so now he's gonna avenge his family by becoming a kurosagi to swindle 'em back. :) Ooh, makes me wanna watch it more. :D Heehee. Yeah, it kinda helps when you know what the show's about.

--

   ANIME: Didn't think I'd have a section for this. o_o Anyway, I wonder how the first ep of NANA was. I might go watch sometime later. :/

   Viz is dubbing Bleach. Yes yes, I know it's old news but I forgot to mention it. Anyway, it's gonna be on Adult Swim and omg I really hope they don't butcher it. I'm definitely gonna be watching when it premieres (this fall) and hopefully, they have a good choice of voice actors. When the cast list is released, I'll definitely be scoping it out and checking those actors' other works.

   7 more days till Jyu-Oh-Sei! Yeah, maybe I should go see what it's about. I just typed in Jyu Oh Sei into Google and may777 is the 7th result. XD Wow, I'm popular.

   Okay, I can't find a summary. Guess I'll just have to watch it when it comes out. I told myself, if I find the first episode boring, then I will stop. I've got too many things to be doing.

   Blood+. I did plan on watching that but there are too many episodes so I gave up. (52. xD) The only part I'll be watching of Blood+ is their 3rd opening. Has it come out yet? I don't know which episode it's gonna be premiering in. Maybe 26th.. cuz that'd be normal. Why am I looking forward to such an opening you ask? COLORS OF THE HEART. BY UVERworld. Their new single. Yes, I am preventing myself from listening to any Timeless songs because I'm waiting to get the single (UNLIKELYY ;__;) so I can listen to the songs for the first time myself. But singles, I'm open to them. :) I bet it's gonna be wonderful, just like all their songs. >___<

   Long entry. I could write more about school and music, but I don't feel like it anymore. :|

   Btw pepp, anyone got the mp3 of "Like Someone in Love" by Bice (Kimi wa Petto OST)? Email to me? (My email's on the right, under GMAIL.) I love that song. It's so nice. :) I just can't seem to find it anywhere.

   I made 2 CDs in 2 days. A record. The first was the Kimi wa Petto OST. Yes, omg, I actually got the nerve to download a whole OST. xD I'm always so scared.. but I did it! All those people saying that they love the Kimipe OST: I LOVE IT TOO!!! Most are tracks from the dorama but that's what I like. They're calming tracks. ^_^

   12: Mikuni! Just like always. I wanted this CD to not have any anime tracks but I guess.. it just had to be. After all, it all started with anime. So there're only two. :|

1 more time(s).

   Uhhh.. I think this is the 69th day I've been at Elkins.

   Well, a quick update for everyone. As you can see, I haven't been on much due to cosplay and... what I really shouldn't be doing: Dramas. ><+ I'm so mad at myself for being so tempted. I just can't keep away if it's right there! I've tried rewards, but TF, I'm in charge of my body so I end up rewarding myself anyway even if I didn't even do the thing. *sigh*

• Vest dress thing - 100%
• Shirt - 100%
• Hand wraps - 80%
• Boots - 10%
• Wig - 0%. Omg. I'm probably gonna go to the mall and buy one of those expensive ones or hopefully PC'll have one. ;_;
• Hat - 55%
• Belt - 0%. I need material to make the belt with!!!!!!!!
• Gun - 60%
• Earrings - 0%. I always forget to buy the pink bead thing. ><
• Boobs - 90%. I'm planning on making a sort of cup out of my extensive supply of foamy sheets to shape the boobs so they don't look deformed.
• Underwear - 0%. This better be easier to make than I think it is.

   I've never had this problem. >< Not having it done a week before the con. AGGHHH!! This is so stressing me out. Tomorrow, I seriously am bringing some sewing to work on in Study Hall. Maybe if I can sneak it into the TAKS room, I'll try there too. OH WELL to the weird looks I'll get then.

   I seriously need to go shopping for missing supplies this weekend. MOMMY BETTER NOT REFUSE!!!

• Belt material
• Earring beads
• WIG!!!

   Boots aren't coming out the way I expected. I'm working on the left boot right now and it's looking really deformed. Hopefully no one'll pay too much attention to em. u.u I'm totally handsewing the bottom shoe part of it. I can't risk having to undo everything messing up on the sewing machine.

   Right now I'm keeping the hat underneath my dresser to squish it cuz whoever made the hat is retarded because people's heads are NOT ROUND. We have.. un-round heads. So I have to shape it and hope that it'll stay that shape when it's time for me to wear it.

   Went really lazy with the hand wrap covering. You can totally tell that I just glued paper and foil onto it. TT__TT

   For the gun, I guess I'll just use my brown fabric I have left over for the grip. Warning for the brown though: SO NOT the right color. It's supposed to be a nice bright woody brown but I have dull greyish brown. =__= In my eyes, I'm gonna be so... disgusted by it. Shoot. How am I gonna attach the grip?!! OMG, I totally forgot about that! AAGHHH! Fine, superglue is the answer to everything in this time of distress.

   I'll talk about sex some other time. When I'm not worried about this.
