I miss Yuriy. :(

Looking through slave_to_anime's recent post was probably the worst kind of salt I could've poured into my wounded heart.

It's been 5 months and I still hurt as much as the day we broke up.

What a wonderfully lazy Saturday afternoon. Time for an update.

It's chilly out and my room is a mess and I'm sitting here with a warm cup o' noodles and not really caring if I get fat. I love this feeling of bliss and enjoying it while it lasts, which won't be for long because then I'll look at Dragon*Con photos when I was thinner and start to feel guilty for not having gone to the gym in three months (although I did go one day last week!). I'll also start wigging out over how disgusting my room and bathroom are and go on a cleaning binge pretty soon here.

It's been so long since I've made a real update, but I have kept as close an eye on my f-list as much as possible with my hectic work life. It's hard because many of my friends are making the switch to Facebook and Twitter and so I spent a lot of time following them there, and poor LiveJournal has gotten then shitty end of my attention span LOL.

I think I stopped regularly updating since April, which was when I was cast in CATS and therefore every ounce of free time I had was devoted to rehearsals. When CATS ended, Dragon*Con was looming near and I was getting ready for that. When Dragon*Con ended... well, I just got lazy and quit updating LOL. But I'm back for a real update this time, photos and all. (Though I probably won't post anything from that since I made a D*C report here).

( Let's go back in time, shall we? )

( CATS!!! )

( Working on CATS makeup )

( HARRY POTTER! )

( More CATS!!!! )

( The next set of photos are a huge jumble because my iPhone scrambled them when I uploaded them to the computer and I'm too lazy to organize them. )

AND NOW YOU ARE ALL UPDATED ON THE LAST SIX MONTHS OF MY LIFE. THE END. *dies*

( EDIT: FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT COMIC CON )

The images I have of jinyo stored in the depths of my harddrive... -.-;

First off, ONE HUNDRED MILLION CONGRATS to daenerys and Anna for winning such an amazing award!!!

What I don't understand is, where the fuck has this kind of award been all along?! Why the fuck does America have WCS when they could've been awarding a prize like this all along? No offense to anyone who has ever competed in WCS of course, I just mean that with all the drama that has happened over the years because people have so badly wanted a chance to cosplay in Japan, this kind of prize blows WCS out of the water. I hope they continue to have the Yume Cosplay prize, it seems like the kind of prize that people wanted WCS to be but never was because WCS is lame (no offense!).

HA! I TOLD you I'd get it up eventually. Sorry it took me three weeks.

These photos might be all over the place, so I apologized. I didn't upload them to photobucket in any particular order so... bear with me. :P

( ONE MILLION PHOTOS UNDER ZE CUT )

THE END. :D

( EDIT: )

THE END. For reals, this time.

But for now, I got my hair totally hacked off. I've resisted liking it all evening, but I think I'll be okay with it. I'm inadvertently channeling Katy Perry. I'm okay with that.

Okay, don't laugh at me, I sound like an idiot but I got my room semi put-together. But seriously, I sound like an idiot. :B

I don't care what anyone says, I just saw the New Moon trailer and I'm fucking excited. Don't make me bust out my Daily Deviation picture I drew of Edward and Bella. Also, Yuriy makes the best fucking Edward on the planet and I know we're broken up and all but I'm going to dress him up as Edward for as long as he lets me because he rocks it and deserves all the attention he gets when he wears it. :D



Real Dragon*Con post coming soon.

A) I want to draw, but I really need to clean my room and unpack the rest of my stuff.

B) I want to post Dragon*Con photos (and basically the last three months worth of photos), but I really, REALLY need to clean my room and unpack the rest of my stuff.

C) I want my life back. FAskldjalksjdasjdlkajs.

Dragon*Con was totally awesome, BTW. I feel like I should post a photo of my time there to prove I went. A sneak peak, of sorts.

Me and annisse winning the After-Dark Costume Contest:

So, I wanted to make a real post of my life before I left for D*C, but I've been so busy so it'll have to wait until I get back. Until then, here's a list of costumes I'm bringing to D*C:

-Slave Leia
-Sally Jupiter
-Jaina (NEGtC)
-Deliah Blue (ugh so ghetto ;_;)
-Sporty Spice
-Elliott Reed (Scrubs)
-LOL I promise you'll laugh at this one when you see it
-One last costume I threw together in two days and it's ghetto and maybe like two people will recognize it but whatever

A) I have no idea when I'm wearing anything, and B) I might not wear everything I bring. I'm counting on everyone to tell me what to wear when, which panels I need to see, and where the parties are!! PM me if you want/need my cell number, and as a note I respond better to text messages than phone calls, for those who have texting enabled. See ya there!!!

Definitely going to make a huge, all-encompassing post as soon as the show is over (closing night this Saturday! *sniff*).

In other new, Abyss comes out next week WTF? Still haven't finished Omen. I fail!

That is all.

If you are planning on attending CATS, could you please drop me a line or an e-mail and let me know exactly when you are arriving/which day you are coming? That'd be awesome! Thanks guys, I appreciate your support immensely! Tickets can be bought here:

Will try to make a longer post later, but I haven't forgotten about you LJ-land!!!

Sorry internet, I haven't touched you in forever. I have a million DA messages, too many e-mails to count, and I'm behind at least two weeks on all of my favorite webcomics. LJ has probably been hit the worst; I've maybe checked it twice in the last thirty days.

I'm so stressed right now. This Mistoffelees costume is coming down to the wire and needs to be finished today. Other people are counting on me to finish other costumes of theirs. I also have to be at rehearsals to help everyone with their makeup later. I don't even have time to finish my own costume for Comic Con, although so help me god I will wear Leia if it's the last thing I do. The show opens in two weeks, and I also move in two weeks and I haven't packed up a single thing.

I also got burned by a cast member that I care a lot about, and now said person isn't really talking to me that much. I was having such an amazing time with this cast up until now; it sucks that the last stretch of the show is filling me with heartache right now. I want us to be friends again, but I guess it takes two to tango so I'm on my own for now. Hopefully things will get mended before the show opens because I really want to enjoy the show.

However, I do have more promotional stuff to pimp out. Incredible photos courtesy of none other than ziggybecket:





And a trailer of sorts:



It's going to be a great show and a ton of fun for the audience, so if you're in the area I promise you will have a BLAST if you see this show! Tickets are available here:

I can't believe I fell so hard. I can't eat, I can't sleep. Weird.

(It's probably not what you think.)

It seems the only free time I have these days is the 45 minutes I ride BART to Oakland and back, which is where I find myself posting this entry. I am so far behind on LJ that I'm not even going to try and cach up. Lots of changes have been happening to me, so I'll go ahead and throw this under a cut.

( Blah blah blah )

Last set of preview pics! I did all the makeup for them. :3 Also, I failed hard and didn't put a link up last time, but if you're interested in seeing me in Cats you can buy tickets here:

Comment or PM me if you've got plans to come up so we can discuss them/meeting times and all that good stuff.

Also, I got pulled over by a cop tonight for having my "license plate light out". Didn't get a ticket, but I didn't even know I HAD a light on my license plate LOL.

It's taken a few days for it to sink in with me. I think I was kind of resisting having any feelings about it because I had other things going on in my life that were already monopolizing my emotional facilities, but I finally let it sink in tonight that he's really gone. I just spend the last half hour watching some of his best videos and it's now just dawned on me what a loss the world has experienced with his passing.

Growing up, I was familiar with Thriller and Billy Jean, but those were not the songs that defined my youth. I was born in '85, several years after Thriller was released, and I started watching MTV when I was in 5th grade. My all-time favorite Michael Jackson video was Scream, which I think is such an underrated song. Scream was such a freaky video, and I was completely obsessed with it. People say they loved Michael Jackson when he was still black, but I LOVED Michael Jackson's white years. I loved his androgynous look in Scream and You Are Not Alone (Lisa Marie Presley LOL). And I just loved the interaction between he and Janet in Scream, although I think Michael had to hold back a little so that he didn't totally upstage Janet during their dance together.

Going back and watching some of his live performances gave me chills. The man is inhuman when he dances. He never takes a wrong step, and it the most fluid dancer I've ever seen. He's a fucking machine, literally. He does things live that are seemingly impossible. I know Justin Timberlake aspired to be the next King of Pop, but never in a million years could he even come close to the dance moves that Michael Jackson did. There's never been a dancer like Michael Jackson, and it'll be a long time before we see another one like him. Also, NO BETTER MOONWALK EXISTS. Watching him moonwalk is fucking HYPNOTIZING. It's unreal. I wish I could've seen him live.

Rest in peace, man.
