Gonna be going to a wedding this Saturday and need help deciding what dress to wear. I have discovered that I have a fuckton of black dresses and little else of any color. Welp. I'm just gonna apologize right now for my legs, thank goodness my camera's shitty enough that it doesn't show how hairy they are (uuuugh I'm gonna hafta shaaaave and that's annoying as heeeeeeell).

Please take into account that I will be wearing open-toed black heels, will be trying to curl my hair a lil, and will not be wearing glasses at the wedding.

( Read more... )

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE JEWELERY, OUTERWEAR, AND MAKEUP FOR THIS sob, please help on these things

Happy Lunar New Year~

Oh my frick, did I forget to post about ALA here, dammit Nin!!!

2015-02-13T10:39:29Z

SOMETIMES I FORGET THAT LJ AND DW ARE A THING BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS ON TUMBLR OR PLURK sob sob sob

If anyone still reads my journal and don't see me on those other sites, I'm just gonna link some things and then put pics of who I cosplayed. o/

- ALA 2015 recap (which boiled down to: I had fun and felt very cute during those days!)
- First part out of the four different pages that have my ALA pics (Lots of Marvel, lots of me, and a smattering of other things)
- The Tumblr tag that has all of those other things (Plus extras like other people's snazzy photos and pics of me doing a photoshoot with my friend as Chuck and Ned from Pushing Daisies)

And for people who just wanna see whom I cosplayed, look under the cut o/

( I closet-cosplayed Peggy from Agent Carter and Chuck from Pushing Daisies, btw )

Upcoming cons for me are Wondercon (Saturday) and Anime Expo (all 4 days), I have so many costumes planned, oh God

OTHERWISE, life has been pretty same old same old? Too lazy to get outta this rut and it's teeeerrible

HI I HAVEN'T BEEN ON IN A WHILE BUT I WENT TO COMIKAZE OVER THE WEEKEND :D :D :D

2014-11-04T01:33:51Z

Okay, I typed up a review on Tumblr so I'm just gonna copy-paste it here cuz I'm lazy

Oman I had SO MUCH FUN. This was my first time at this con, so I was much more relaxed about things, even though I was trying out new costumes. Basically, I was there to hang out with titillatingtubist (from now on referred to as Sara H) (Ilu) and cosplay terrible things partnered with her and without her. Our most concrete plans were to hit the DC photoshoot and the Marvel photoshoot, but that was about it.
Okay, more (really long) ramblings and some pics under the cut!

( WHOOPS HERE'S THE CUT )

Pics of cosplay that include costumes I liked (Vegas Showgirl Godzilla), characters I liked (there is an entire section or two devoted to Captain America WHAT I LIKE SHOULD BE PRETTY OBVIOUS AT THAT POINT), friends (♥), and me can be found starting from here with links to the other parts.

SO HOW'VE YOU GUYS BEEN WHILE I WAS FAFFING AROUND TUMBLR AND PLURK? :D

comments

Oh cock, it's been more than a month since I've updated WHOOPS

2014-05-21T13:04:37Z

Okay, so a list of updates.

I FINALLY GOT MY DIPLOMA!!! I apparently completely forgot to post about it last month while updating everywhere else but here. It only took like a year after I "graduated" to fix the grade that allowed me to officially get my Masters (so unimpressed, USC). Have a lookit my shiny diploma, with added and totally necessary commentary.

:|

Relatedly, to the people who saw my freakout on DW/LJ, I'm doing much better now! Context: I need to get my teacher credential in order to be able to teach, and to get that I needed to do a paper that I hadn't finished in time. Hence: self-loathing. I'm still doing the paper but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and oh God I'm so tired of this stupid thing. Gonna try finishing it this week, with the help of a good friend/classmate, cuz I am so burnt out on this.

Uhhhh, what else. I went to the Renaissance Faire with a friend and introduced her to the baudy glory that is the Washing Well Wenches. I'm way behind on movies, but have more-or-less concrete plans to watch Captain America 2, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Guardians of the Galaxy in the future with friends. I've fallen out of love with BBC's Sherlock but fallen into love with the fanworks in the sane part of the Teen Wolf fandom (note the specificity of that, as I've never actually watched the damn show). The amount of fanfics I read definitely overshadow the amount of physical books I've read in the past 2 years, which add up to a big fat zero. Also found out that I'm actually capable of wholeheartedly shipping one character with more than one person, either as an OT3 or as a separate pairing, this hasn't ever really happened before.

OH OH, next big news. I'm def going to Anime Expo this year (as per usual) and am going to cosplay punk!Sailor Mars. Will post pictures of the prototype cosplay I've got going on later.

Also, this is a reminder that you're more likely to hear about my ridiculousness on Plurk or my occasionally-used personal tag on my Tumblr. o/ Although I actually really miss being able to type up these kinda posts, so tentative plans on posting more here too?

Anyway, PEACE, I LOVE YOU GUYS, SORRY THAT I'M TERRIBLE AT JUGGLING DIFFERENT BLOGS/SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, AND I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME DAY. ♥

Re: Lego Movie (No actual spoilers)

2014-02-08T10:33:35Z

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME

This is actually what the movie is about

All of Lego Movie was this

Go watch it

Also do yourself the favor of not looking at any trailers or news articles or anything. Trust me, the surprises you'll have are TOTALLY worth it!

WHEN THE HELL DID KAICHOU WA MAID-SAMA END?!

Hi, guess who fell off the wagon again and is spending way too much time reading shoujo manga now? orz Still not as bad as when I was at UCSC though, dear God, I marathoned One Piece and Detective Conan while up there.

Reading Skip Beat, Dengeki Daisy, Warau Kanoko-sama, and Kaichou wa Maid-sama and am tempted to make a rec post for them cuz they're seriously excellent shoujo mangas.

Question to the masses as I'm contemplating on buying something possibly inadvisable!

2014-01-22T07:34:38Z

What is your most expensive piece of clothing and how much did it cost? What did you consider before actually buying it?

I'm debating on buying a gorgeous-looking coat, but am still balancing out the pros/cons/risks of the endeavor, sob.

(It's such a pretty coat though no Nin stop thinking and sit on it for now)

And now I go to sleep because it's 3 effin' 45 in the morning. The only reason I'm still able to stay awake, despite my usual schedule of knocking out at like 12 at the latest, is cuz I fell asleep on the bus over to my place. There was so much traffic.

Good niiiight love you all.

Things I have learned (or reinforced) when trying to make food in a kitchen not my own

2013-12-08T06:19:15Z

If you follow me on plurk, you'll know that I've had at least 3 kitchen encounters where I try to make a certain meal and inevitably fail because how the fuck does this kitchen work. It does not help that finding shit in this kitchen is like a gigantic game of hide-and-go-seek, which I've never been good at.

Anyway, on to the lessons/reinforced tips!

- Always always check the kitchen for all your ingredients before you start thinking up a menu, even the most basic things. Last time it was "dear God, why is there no oil in the house?!" and tonight it was "mooootherfucker that is not bread, the third most important part of a PB&J and I don't have any." Yeah.

- Necessity (with a healthy dash of desperation) is the mother of invention. Or rather, mother of bullshitting what to actually make. Fell back to making tuna sandwiches, because I was hungry and they had more-or-less the correct ingredients. By which I mean tuna, mayo, onion, and a bit of salt & pepper. So glamorous.

- Creativity is good and all, but sometimes it's not worth it. There are things in the fridge. On plates and in jars. They just kinda... hang out in the fridge. I do not know how old they are or if they are expired because this refrigerator is the worst kept thing ever. They don't even cover their food before sticking it in the fridge.

- Then again, it's still good to try something new. Did you know that tuna sandwiches taste good with a bit of ketchup? I sure as hell didn't!

- If you wear glasses, wear them when you go make food. I don't care if you can kinda see well enough to make a sandwich, don't trust yourself in a strange environment that you are fumbling around in. You just know that shit's gonna happen like, oh I don't know, knocking over a glass butter container in the fridge so it smashes into a hundred pieces on the ground. :|

- Shoes are always a good thing to wear in a kitchen. Thank God I was wearing shoes.

- Give yourself a break from self-flagellation for things that are accidents. Mom isn't here to tut at you about something you should've known better. Learn from your mistakes and move on.

The keywords to this icon are especially appropriate today, but at least I've made food. May eat some of the cheesecake-pie gelato we have to calm myself down some. :|b

GUESS WHO WENT TO MEXICO TO BECOME A TEACHER ASSISTANT BUT THEN FORGOT HER PASSWORD FOR DW/LJ SO WAS UNABLE TO UPDATE WHEN SHE EVEN REMEMBERED THAT THIS JOURNAL EXISTED?

THIS CHICK

A-anyway, how are you doing?

comments

Oh dear God I'd forgotten that this exists

2013-08-31T11:05:01Z

RIGHT

SORRY :x

Uhhh, shenanigans are happening in my life so lemme get a quick rundown in bullet points

- Went to China! Got a TON of mosquito bites! GOT TO SEE MY BELOVED HANA. I count the trip as a success. Also, the old person tour was actually more enjoyable than I thought, which is either saying something about the tour itself or about how I'm getting older. :|
- Had my birthday in China, which was super lazy and I spent most of the day online.
- I have a job now! It's in Mexico! And no, I do not know any Spanish, so ~fun times will be had~ I'm moving there this Sunday and I may start up a new blog with my observations while there.
- PACIFIC RIM IS PERFECT now to watch At World's End
- That's it!

If you ever want to get near-daily quick updates of my life or my thoughts, and that's a huge if, please check out my Plurk, which is basically Twitter but better.

It's become harder for me to write longer posts because my attention span has actually gotten shorter as I got older. So I'll still write long posts, but I'm more spur-of-the-moment so the stuff never gets actually posted. Whoops.
