Preparation for Atsui-con

So, Kisa-chan and I are planning on going Atsui-con in August. I have a source of income now (Babysitting my little brother for 15 dollars a day) so assuming I manage to resist buying too much fma stuff, I will have enough saved up. Anyway, there are several costumes I want to try. The one i'm working hardest on at the moment is Ichihara Yuuko-san, from xxxHOLiC, I recently bought a three foot long black wig for her. Kisa-chan wants to be Sakura, and i'm hoping to convince Jim-kun to be Watanuki Kimihiro (also from xxxHOLiC), our dear friend, Sam, but i shall call her Ayame-chan, decided that she wanted to be Mokona (There-by freeing Blakely-chan from that fate). But of course, now we need a white Mokona, a Kurogane, Fai, and Syaoran.

My computer is down, so i'm posting from the downstairs computer. My artwork and writing is being delayed, partly because the only person who can fix it is in denmark for another week and a half. Le sigh.

We're gonna try to post more, I know we've neglected it.... in other news... Oh... my... god... Ed got taller...

Michiyo-chan awaaaay!

A-Kon

Omg. i can't believe we didn't post since april... ^^;; i will get on Michiyo-chan to make a post.
but anyway, so i went to A-kon 18 and to tell the truth it was kinda boring... i didn't know anyone there exept Ami, (http://www.cordeval.com) but she was swamped as always.
so i had no one to talk to...
well, my dad was there, but he doesn't know the anime i know, so i can't really talk to him about that. and jim was there, but he spent the whoe time in these battletech pod things... it a gome of some sort.
but really i took a couple pics, but not a lot. it was so crowded catching up to someone ou wanted a pic of was hard, let alone taking the pic. i spent some time in the dealers room, but i didn't have a ton of money. so only so long could be spent. i did go to one panel thing. i went to the iron lolita contest, i walked in at the end, it was cool. they were making lolita style dresses with newspaper duck tape and plastic bags. it was hilarious. ^^
also on the second day i went to the pokemon battle road tournament, and just my luck in the first match i went up against someone who is in the top national rankings. luckily there weren't too many people so we all got to keep playing. ^^ my second round was against this little girl and she won because i drew only one sucky pokemon she knocked it out, so she won. it was hard to feel bad tho, she was so cute. ^^ next round was a bye, cuz there weren't enough players. and then i played a girl around my age, and i won. (finally!). we all got prizes from this little grab bag thing, and i got some cards, and a box with a gengar on it. ^^
it was fun. ^^

Ice Cream

I am NEVER eating ice cream again. So at my party we met at the pizza place, had pizza (duh...) and hung out, i also opened my presents.

i got Fruits basket 7 from Michiyo. also a necklace with a dragon on it that was early (not at the party.). and from Jim i got the stickers band, which is a stikfas band. and some chocolate crush pocky. from gabby i got a wooden cabinet for jewelry or whatever, and some stamps. to decorate it. from Jessica i got a really nice watch. (also early.) and from Tasha (who was not at my party, and was early) i got kamichama Karin 1. oh, and from my dad, i got an ipod alarm clock. (also early...)

so anyway, we then proceeded to Ben & Jerry's, and while the rest of the group sat down i went and ordered the Vermonster. i got 4 flavors of ice cream, phish food, Dublin mudslide, chocolate therapy, and strawberry. they then dumped all the ingredients on it. (2 inches of whipped cream! seriously!) and we went to work, after taking tons of pics of it. XD














So we eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat. ^^ well, Jessica, Sam, Jim, Michiyo, and i did, gabby had a bunch of whipped cream, then noticed the cookies/brownies, and said she wouldn't eat anymore. (she is allergic to wheat.) so the 5 of us ate till we were going to explode, and then some... when we were almost done we went outside to finish, and took turns cheering eachother on while we drank the melted ice cream... and then... Jim Threw up! dum-dum-dum!!
lol, but he really did. it was gross... but in the end, we finished it! Yay us! XD

so then we went back to my house to await parents. and when we were there, we played with my hamster, and once, when sam was holding her, she went, 'she is not gonna bite me, is she?' and i was like, 'no, i don't think so...' so sam held whiskers up to her finger, and whiskers took a biiiig chomp on her finger! it was funny, cuz samantha completely freaked out. and then i had to pull her off, and i was like 'i guess she likes ice cream...' and everyone in the room started laughing! we are crazy like that... but yeah, eventually everybody's parents came and picked up their girl, exept jessica, cuz she was spending the night, but that, is another story. XD

well, i think thats it for now! Ja Ne!

Birthday madness.

sorry about that. it says it was Monday, but it was really 12:34 AM on Tuesday ^^

so for my birthday, when i woke up, i woke my brother up by playing my green day way too loud. that was fun. (in my house on your B-day we have 2 traditions. one is that we can break rules, the other is that we get to go on a 20 dollar or so shopping spree. but it always ends up 40 at least, because our grandma always sends us 20 dollars. XD) then i watched TV, and played dead or alive 2. for the Xbox 360. which is fun. if the outfits are a bit skimpy. ^^;;

We went to beluga for lunch, the Japanese restaurant near here, with my uncle Bryan, and his roommate Dan. that was good.

Then i went on my shopping spree, we went to dragons lair and
bought, with my almost 70 dollars!!!, an Inuyasha wall scroll, a Kyo backpack, the second manga of Kamichama Karin, which is THE most adorable manga EVER!! Tasha bought me the first one for my b-day, and i loved it so much i had to buy the other one, so THANK YOU TASHA!!! ^^but anyway, and i bought some bumper stickers, saying: Do not underestimate the power of the chocolate side of the force! and: He who hesitates is LUNCH! and: I'll get a life when someone can prove that it is better than what I've got now. (yes i know you bought that one Michiyo-Chan, i just love it.) and: Are you sure this isn't just a live-action roleplaying game? and i thought those were the best off of their shelves. ^^

but it gets better, my dad then surprises me by taking me to Claire's, to get my ears pierced! (i had stated that i wanted too a couple days back, and he had expressed his distaste for it. so i was shocked.) i got silver studs with my birthstone in it. ^^

later we(Jim, Bryan, dad and myself.) watched Rat Race. it is hilarious!! *quotes* It is a race! and i am hweening! (how he said it... ^^)

and tomorrow me and a few friends (that means you Sam, Si-Chan, Jessica and gabby!) are going to get some pizza, (well, not gabby. she is getting a salad or something, she is allergic to wheat.)then we are going to Ben and Jerry's to get a vermonster! which is: (copied straight from the website!) Vermonster - A monster of a sundae - 20 scoops of ice cream, hot fudge, banana, cookies, brownies, and all of your favorite toppings. (it wasn't in purple, but i wanted color. XP) 20 scoops! i wonder if we can finish it... i will let you know how that goes! XD

Kisa-Chan out! ^^

Ikkicon 2007

We had a great deal of arguing over who would do this post, but finally it was agreed that I would write about it, and Kisa-chan would do the pictures.

Since Kisa-chan and our friend, who shall be known as Rain-chan, both do not live in austin, it was up to me to provide temporary habitation... Basically, we had a big sleepover at my house.

We realized sometime that night, that my brother had eaten all the ramen noodles, and so there was no food left, and thus, we ordered pizza. Kisa-chan for some reason thought that she would be able to eat an entire large cheese pizza by herself, and so over half the pizza is still sitting in the fridge as we speak.

The Large sausage pizza went fast, between me, Rain-chan, and my little brother, so there are no leftovers of that.

Then we attempted to go to bed, which was difficult, and included numerous bluffs to get people to move around, before finally, after about the fifth time that Rain-chan and Kisa-chan knocked eachother off the bed, we switched and fell asleep.

We had to wake up at 6:30 in order to have enough time to get a snack, get changed into costume, wake up Rain-chan, and straighten my hair, and we were still rushed, because we spent too long eating.

After we drove around awhile, trying to find decent breakfast, we finally arrived, and stood in line for an eternity to get our badges. While in line, we met Wrath-chu, a deviantartist and Munich Ed (From Fullmetal alchemist) cosplayer.

The rest of the day was spent basically wandering around, and buying stuff.

Saturday, we woke up late, but still managed to get to Ikkicon before noon. We met up with Wrath-chu, and then at 3:00 was the FMA Photoshoot. I was travel-Winry, so I got to go.

Sunday we got there late again, and we mainly bought a bit more stuff...

And i'm supposed to be cleaning right now, so bye!
