HOLY SHIT ONLY ONE MORE DAY UNTIL WE LEAVE FOR ANIME NORTH. I STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO DO. ;A; *FLAIL*

I have about 20 ponies to try to sell from the hotel, plus a ton and a half of jewelry. I'm really hoping everything goes alright and I get enough money to pay for Otakon. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WORK OUT. Since we're paying for a hotel room this year instead of crashing at Dad's place, there's no budget for food, so today I have to make all the sammiches and salads and stuff that we're bringing with us in the cooler. Also onigiri, but just for me since Mom won't eat them. xD; Maybe I'll bring extra to share with other people though.

Then I have to double-check that I've got all my cosplay stuff, pony supplies, and jewelry supplies packed. (Mom and I are stopping for more beads on the way out of town on Thursday.) 

At the hotel on Thursday night I have to finish sewing my leg covers for Haine cosplay (note to self: pack a freaking needle and thread!), and add some length to the elastic of my eyepatch for Lavi because it's a teeny bit too small. Plus I have to style my Haine and Lavi wigs. At least my Demyx one is finished and spiffy because I wasn't the one who styled it XD;;, and the Haine one just needs the bangs fixed and some pulled back in a bow. Lavi is the one I'm not sure about, but I think since I'm doing casual!outfit Lavi I might go with the flatter hairstyle.

Mel and Kaz: If you need to get ahold of me at the con, text me instead of calling, since I have unlimited texting but I'm almost out of minutes on my phone. DX Or drop by Crafter's Corner. I hopefully will have presents for you both, assuming I get them finished in the next 24 hours. >.>;; *fingers crossed*

After the con on Sunday, we're going to stop by and visit Dad and Lois for a couple hours, so I can show them my Demyx or Lavi cosplay (Haine is for Saturday, but I haven't decided on Friday or Sunday for the other two) and play with the puppehs some. I'm considering taking Tetsuya and Nazoko with me just to take pretty pics of them around the kennel property, since it's gorgeous there. Plus it would be an excuse to take pics of Nazoko, since I haven't had the chance to do a proper photo shoot with her yet...

Cosplay Schedule Assuming Everything Works Out:
Friday: Org13!Demyx (KH) or casual!Lavi (D.G-M)
Saturday: Haine (TGAC)
Saturday Night: Suigintou (RM) or Haine (TGAC)
Sunday: Org13!Demyx (KH) or casual!Lavi (D.G-M)

Today Mom almost gassed us all. By accident of course. The cat litter box in the basement apparently has a leak, and she went to clean it up; cat urine is mostly ammonia (duh) and she didn't think about it and just poured bleach down to clean it. >.<; Then there was frantic mopping it up while it made us both cough and burned our eyes like hell. My eyes hurt for like an hour. -.-; But you know, at least the floor is clean? XD;

Tomorrow I'm going to Walmart to get a copy of KH: Chain of Memories, and a gift for Jose. And a new litter box. >__>;

Was bored a little while ago, so I messed around and changed Nazoko's hair. She came with three wigs (the one in the pics before, plus two others that are the same except for a vague colour difference) so I put one of the other ones on. It's much longer and has bangs on it. I like it. And since I have two I'm considering attempting to dye it red. If it works out then I don't have to buy a red wig for her... though I have my heart set on this one. We'll see I guess.

( Nazoko and Tetsuya. )

EDIT: Maddie, I went through my craft cupboards, and I have a TON of ponytail/etc. beads for you to make yaoi/gay pride bracelets out of. ♥

EDIT #2: Also, jarrn, thank you so much for suggesting those Soft Paws things for Loki! I'd never heard of them before, but they look promising, and I'm really really hoping they'll work so I don't have to get his back claws done after all.

Been a while since I posted. Haha, I spent so many years writing in this thing every single day that lately when I haven't been writing in it much it seems weird. I go to post and realize it's been ten days (or whatever) since my last post and am surprised by it.

But recently I haven't been up to much... I'm actually quite sick right now (it's really TMI though, so I'm not going to elaborate.) I spent all last week trying to get through to my family doctor and failing, so I think I'm going to have to just break down and go to the Emergency Room, and probably have to endure at least one rather uncomfortable test that I can think of.

In the mean time, I was on hiatus at RY and TV, but my health always sucks and I can't be on hiatus forever, so I came off at RY yesterday and plan to come off at TV tomorrow. Being so sick the last while has really sapped my energy though; I'm not getting any nutrients or anything from my food right now (when I can even eat), and I've probably been taking too many pain pills. I've practically been living on cream-of-wheat because it's so bland and easy to digest. I still don't really feel up to much rping, but it's not fair to camp on characters if I'm just going to be away all the time. Plus I have to get back into helping with mod stuff at RY.

Anyway. Today I gave Sora and Riku a bath for the first time. They flailed around a little and generally went D8 at me. It was adorable. But they did need a bath. And I'm hoping if I do it often enough they'll learn to like playing in the water, or at least to tolerate it. They really liked being wrapped up together in a towel afterward though. ♥

I finished Foundation yesterday. It's the new Heralds of Valdemar book by Mercedes Lackey. I didn't realize how much I'd missed Valdemar until I started reading it (lol two days ago, I read for like 12 hours straight. XD;) Maybe now I can try writing some fic again? It'd be nice to work through my four-years-and-going writer's block. But I'm not holding my breath. Not being able to concentrate to write and draw is part of being bi-polar, and just reading a new Valdemar novel won't magically cure me of that. I wish though!

Today I found a copy of Razorback in region 1 NTSC format on ebay. Dad and I have both been searching for that movie for months now, and all we can find are copies on ebay that are region 2 PAL, which won't play on North American DVD players or TVs. So I'm hoping the seller will ship to Canada, but if he replies to my question about it and says no, Maddie says I can get it shipped to her/Chloe's place and then send them the money to forward it. >D

And now random pictures just for the hell of it:

( Loki and Tri have a night of drinking, apparently. )

( Nazoko. Still looking like Bella. I need the right wig and eyes for her, desperately. )

EDIT: It's getting pretty close to the day I'm taking Loki in to get his back claws done. The closer it gets to time, the more bad I feel about it, even though it's for a medical reason. Every time he comes and cuddles with me, or purrs at me I feel guilty. DX

Nazoko came in a couple days ago. EMS brought her on Tuesday, but there was a $14.50 customs charge on the package, and I didn't have the cash on me so I had to take the delivery card and pick her up the next day. Right now she's sitting with Tetsuya (on his lap actually, as I'm that short of space in here right now.)

She's very pretty, but I'm finding I'm really not liking the obitsu body. She's not as flexible/poseable, and the joints are really ugly. I wouldn't want to put her in a tank top or anything like that. To be honest, I didn't click with her right away like I did with Tetsuya.

Well, we'll see how it goes once I've had her for a while and have the right wig/eyes/clothes for her. If push comes to shove, I can always sell her and use the cash to go toward Otakon, or to pay for Yumeko. *shrug*

EDIT: People have finally started getting my cookie packages! :D

I've been tinkering with Tetsuya a bit the last couple days. Finally got around to putting his eyelashes on, which I mentioned before, and tonight I shaped them and trimmed up his wig a teeny tiny bit. Still more trimming to go, but I'm so scared I'll screw it up. >.<;

( Blurry photo. I win at my new camera, clearly. >>; )

The eyelashes change his expression SO MUCH. .__.;

My keyboard is acting funny. The space bar keeps sticking. >>; Stupid thing.

Anyway, I'm getting a new doll! 8D She's second hand, but absolutely gorgeous. Plus I'm getting her with that lovely faceup, the eyes, the wig and the outfit SUPER cheap. X3 She been customized to look like Bella from Twilight, but I'll be changing her hair and eyes.

I was thinking about making her into Michira (Tetsuya's sister), but she's too... innocent looking for her. lol. I actually want a DOD E-an for her, because she's sexy and actually looks somewhat similar to LUTS El design; Tetsuya's an El, and since Michira is his half-sister I like the idea of them having a little similar features.

But that leaves me considering what I want to make Bella into. I'm thinking possibly Nazoko. I need to ponder over it some more. XD;

Oh, and today after over a year of owning him, I finally got around to putting Tetsuya's eyelashes on. xD; He looks really different with them, but I love how it adds to his eyes and expression. ♥

Yeah, so I haven't posted anything in forever. >>;

1) Christmas #1: On the 23rd the immediate family did Christmas. I got a couple movies, and my cell phone. Also a book, and a gift card, and a chair for at my computer. It was nice. Most of my Christmas from Mom and Lee was the phone though, lol.

2) Christmas #2: On the 24th, we all went up to Grandma's place to do prep for the turkey and everything the next day. That night we gave Grandma the gift that my brother and I got for her, and she gave us our cards with monies in them, because she's been too sick to go out shopping. The next day the whole family was over and we had dinner, and did the family gift exchange. I ended up with a wok set, which is awesome because I'm the one who bought that one because I wanted it. XD;

3) Dad couldn't make it up in time for Christmas, so he's coming up this next weekend to exchange gifts. THE GIFT I ORDERED FOR HIM BEFORE CHRISTMAS BETTER BLOODY BE HERE BY THEN, DAMMIT. >__O;

3) Did nothing for New Year's, though that morning I did get my cell activated. Thank God I have three months free texting, because despite not planning on using it much I've been texting A LOT. I'll need a text plan when my free time runs out. XD;;

4) My RY secret santa gift from toxicatedpoison got here the other day! Eee! It's a pretty crystal heart pendant that she got engraved with "Sena". ILU SO HARD PRONNIE. ♥

5) Speaking of RY, tomorrow we are officially on hiatus for two weeks as a community, so that Steph, Maddie and I can kind of revamp it, and add in more plot points and get everything back on track. WE SHALL RETURN.

6) My birthday was yesterday! 8D ...I did nothing for it, and didn't get any presents, though a bunch of people wished me a Happy Birthday. At some point this week Mom is taking me out to buy me a new camera though, she just hasn't had the time until now.

7) Yesterday I met up with Pam and Ryuu-chan at the Tim Hortons at the corner, and we hung out there and talked for almost two hours. Then we came back here and hung out some more. It was really nice because I haven't seen any of my RL friends in over a year. Turns out Pam is living in town again (sort of anyway, she's actually just outside of town), so hopefully I can see her some more now, at least until she moves to Alberta in a year or so.

8) One of my new wigs (for Haine cosplay from The Gentlemen's Alliance) came in a couple days ago, and I FREAKING LOVE IT. It's long and curly and light brown with blonde streaks, and looks freakishly good on me, or so everyone is telling me. XD; Now I wish I hadn't cut my hair so short so I could dye and curl it lol.

9) ( PHOTOS OMG )

Kekeke. I dress him up in rediculous stuff sometimes. This one he's really unamused with. But I love it haha. This is the one that I got from the dollar store that was meant to be a wine bottle cover. XD; The hat and scarf I got last year, they came from a Christmas penguin plushie that is now nekkid and at the salvation army. ♥

Also, finally got sick of the ads and lack of icon space and bought another year's paid account time. :P

EDIT: Ah, and today Trunks and I went up to the dollar store. I took my cane with me, and it's the first time I've really used it since I got it a few days ago. I was surprised by how much of a difference it made. My legs still hurt a bit, but when I got home I wasn't completely crippled like I normally am. *pets the cane* I still feel stupid for needing one, but... I guess if I do, I do. There's not much I can do about it at the present time. At the dollar store I got Christmas tins for cookies, and some more cute beads for Maddie.

Oh yes, and Maddie darling, if you really can't find any gold wire down where you are I can get some here and send it to you. It's everywhere in Orillia, and sold super cheap the same as beads (like $1 for a huge spool of it.) Actually I think I have two spools of it myself down in my craft cupboards. >.>;;

Today it was rainy, but my brother and I went out anyway, up to the dollar store and the Bargain Shop. In the dollar store I found a santa shirt/coat thing for Tetsuya. XD; It was originally for decorating wine bottles or something? lawl. They had Mrs. Claus dresses too, but Tet-chan refuses to crossdress for me. >.>;

Oh, Maddie, I also got some more beads for you. Various shapes/sizes of green, and some really adorable ones that are shaped like christmas peppermints. ♥ I'll send them when I send you and Chloe cookies. Are there any specific colours or anything you're looking for that I can keep an eye out for?

Other than that, I finally broke down and got a cane today. I hate the idea of needing one, but I'm to the point I really do. At least it's pretty and covered in butterflies. Heh.

Meh. I'm depressed. Just... over a lot of things in my life lately. I've been kind of sinking into another depression the last month or so, probably. It sucks. -___-;; I just want to go to sleep and forget the world.

I'm packed! And everything fit! Including Tetsuya! And COOKIES! 8D

Note to self: Next year, limit of THREE cosplays. >>; Two suitcases for just cosplay is REDICULOUS.

Tet-chan is a very unhappy boy right now. He's all cramped up in my backpack. And he's bald because his wig kept coming off, so I just stuck it in a side pocket. D: *pets him*

There is no dignity when you live with me. .__.;

Some pics of Tetsuya that I took at Grandma's last week. He had his fur wig on, and the shirt I got for him at AN back in May, and one black eye and one cobalt, haha. He really enjoyed his time outside around Grandma's, he thinks it's really pretty there. I do too, but I enjoyed it less because of the mosquitoes and black flies. :P

( Tet-chan in the sun. )

At some point this summer I want to take him out back and take some pics of him there. We have a whole grove of bamboo growing alongside the house, and blackberry bushes and lots of pretty flowers. ♥

EDIT: The pics of Tet-chan I took back in the winter + snow pics for Nikki those of you who think you have a lot of snow right now. :D

Alright, so in exchange for crashing here Mom made me promise to bake a cake for her. XD; Haha, aparently she's been craving cake for a while now. And I don't mind-- seriously, I was like "I can bake at your house! 8D!" Because I <3 her kitchen SO much AND they just got a new stove a couple weeks ago omg it's sex for cooking. *w*

So I just pulled the cake out of the oven (butter pecan) and it's cooling before I ice it later. Now I'm making mini-pizzas for late-lunch, and considering looking up a recipe for hermit cookies and making a batch of them as well. Gots to get all my cooking/baking in before I go back to the crap kitchen/stove at home. :P lol.

For a completely unrelated topic, when Mom dropped off her luggage for me a couple days ago, I set at test-packing everything for Otakon, and not only have I figured out a way to fit everything (including my portable sewing machine in case of wardrobe malfunctions), I'm pretty sure I'll have enough room to bring Tet-chan too! :3

BEHOLD I AM THE QUEEN OF FITTING AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF STUFF INTO SUITCASES. >D Possibly rivaled by etcetera_cat, though, I've gotten exploding England-packages from her before lawl.

...and now I believe I'll be going to munch mini pizzas and watch a movie. Possibly with zombies. :D

EDIT: HERMIT COOKIES OMG YEY. >w< Hehe. ♥♥

D: animesuki.com doesn't have Junjou Romantica anymore. So unfair! *is sad* Does anyone know somewhere else that carries it? Or where I can download it from aarinfantasy?

Otherwise... was at Grandma's the last couple of days. Randomly. Well... not so randomly. I had an appointment in Huntsville. BUT I thought it was next week. So Monday night at like 10 Grandma called and went "I'll be there to pick you up in the morning tomorrow." And I was kind of like "...WUT?" Heh. My memory is made of fail, srsly.

Visiting up at Grandma's place was typical, though holy hell the mosquitoes and black flies were NUTS. Because we had so much snow this winter we had a super wet spring, and thus, TONS of damn flies. AUGH. I'd taken Tet-chan with me to take some pics of him around the property, but I couldn't stay outside for more than about 30 seconds without being EATEN ALIVE. O__O; Next time, Tet-chan, next time. ♥

Anyway...

EDIT: Also, as I was away for a couple days there's a couple tags I'm behind on. So if I owe you a tag I apologise for just vanishing like that and I'll get it to you tonight, or tomorrow at the latest. <3

So! Anime North this year! ...the programming kind of sucked. There weren't really any panels I was interested in, and the same for Mom. But it was still totally worth going since Mel and Zexy were there. :3

Friday I was in my Host Club cosplay, and we pretty much spent the whole day in line to register and then looking through the dealer's room. Mel dragged me around and we squeed at stuff. XD; She also tried to get me to buy porn-- and very nearly succeeded lawl. ^.^

Sena: You know my Mom's right here. >__>;;
Mom: Whatever. If you want to buy porn, buy porn. *shrug*
Sena: XD;

Then she wandered off, and came back a few minutes later and was like "there's a book over there called The Manga Sutra, but it's shrinkwrapped so I can't look at it. .__.;" XDD;; My Mom makes me laugh sometimes. ♥

Anyway, then we all met up with some of Mel's friends and went to Kelsey's for dinner, after which Mom and I left to head back to Dad's and crash because seriously, I hadn't slept in two days. =.=; And then we ended up staying up until like 1am chatting with Dad and Lois and playing with the dogs. >>;;

Then Saturday, we were late getting up, and then I took forever getting my costume on, since it was my Suigintou day, and I had to mess around with make-up and a wig, and fake nails WHICH I HATED SO MUCH OMG. >.<;

We hung around with Mel after we got there, and then I called Zexy and she came across to sit with us at the café at the TCC for a while. :3 Mom was in awe of her Zexion wig, and so was I. It was soooo good! >3<

Then that night I was supposed to go to the Moonlight Ball with Mel, but I had to go back to Dad's to pick some stuff up, and then Mom wasn't feeling well and didn't want to drive back into TO. Then it turned out Zexy went to the Ball too. D:

Sunday was my AU!Demyx day, but my Demy wig died a terrible death. ;___; So I wore the rest of the costume but not the wig, which was pretty pointless really. xD; I was supposed to meet up with Mel when we got to the TCC, but we waited/searched for about an hour, and then I had to head over to the DoubleTree to the KH photoshoot to find Zexy again... and when we got there I couldn't find the photoshoot either. ><;; BAH.

So I didn't end up managing to hook up with either of them on Sunday, which was kind of disappointing. :P And I brought Tet-chan with me on Sunday too, to show him off. TT__TT He was disappointed that he didn't get to meet them, but at the same time happy to have fresh air and attention from other people. He had his photo taken a couple of times! ♥ Plus we went back into the dealer's room and I found a new shirt for him, too. :)

All in all, it was a good weekend even though the programming wasn't super. ^_^ I'm looking forward to next year and bothering Mel and Zexy again. X3 *squishes them*

And I did a ton of shopping that I shouldn't have. >__>; I got a new plushroom to go with the fox I got last year (a panda :3), a necklace and four Hitachiin twins buttons and a twins postcard at Artist Alley. In the dealer's room I got a giant blue Gloomy Bear (I named him Bluebell to go with my other Gloomies, Marigold and Sakura, because I name them after flowers lawl; at the same booth Mel got a giant plush banana~~ XD;), a keychain, a bunch of pocky, and 19 volumes of manga. X3

-Alien Nine #1-3
-Alien Nine Emulators
-Rhysmyth #2 (etcetera_cat got me the first one for Christmas :3)
-Vampire Knight #1-2
-Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories #1-2
-Kingdom Hearts II #1 (I got #2 a couple weeks ago)
-Loveless #3-5
-Candidate for Goddess #3-5
-Megatokyo #3
-Fruits Basket #17
-La Corda d'Oro #2 (onewhomust gave me the first one when we traded a bunch of manga a while back ♥)

...and I realised after I got home that I forgot to pick up the latest volume of Tsubasa. Bah. Plus the shirt I got for Tet-chan, and Mom bought about $50 worth of candies at one of the booths because she really really liked them. lol. Then on the way home we stopped at Chapters in Barrie and I got an encyclopedia on gemstones, and the latest Dean Koontz paperback. <3

Anyway, I took Tet-chan with me to show him to Dad and Lois, mostly. I took all of his extra clothing and stuff as well, I'd planned to take some pics of him outside around their property because they have gorgeous grounds, but I didn't have the time. Too bad. Dad like choked when he found out how much he cost. XD;;

It's always nice to have a chance to talk to them some, and play with the dogs. Lois was nice enough to bring Star in from the kennel so I could visit with her some. She's my special doggy and I love her to bits. I fully intended to bring her home with me when they were finished using her for breeding (she was the last in her line so they needed her), but right now I'm not in a situation to. I'm really kind of upset about that...

Other than Star, they have four puppies right now; the black one is very pretty but starts easily. If you surprise him he yelps too. The multicolour (he'll end up being red when his adult coat comes in) is really pretty and friendly, but standoffish, he likes to play but not snuggle. Then the blonde boy is adorable, and when you pick him up be vegges completely in seconds. He's such a cuddler! And finally~ Bella. ♥♥♥ Bella is black and tiny; super tiny. Her brother is on the floor and 4x her size, but she's too little to go out with the adult dogs yet. >3< She loves to cuddle, and is rediculously cute and pretty, and KNOWS it too. They could have sold her in a snap... if she didn't have a heart murmur.

Now, a lot of pups are born with a faint heart murmur, it's not really rare. But in most cases they grow out of it. Bella's is so bad that you can feel it when you're holding her, and if you hold her up to your ear, her heart doesn't go "thump thump" it goes "swish swish". ;___; She doesn't know there's anything wrong with her, but it's not going to go away, and Lois can't sell a dog that might just drop dead at any second. She wants to find a home for her, but it has to be someone who understands that she may have problems and be costly later on if the heart problem gets worse or acts up.

For now Bella is happy to be where she is and steal cuddles from anyone who looks her way. Mom was so close to taking her home. lol.

And then before we left I raided Dad's DVD collection and ended up with a bunch of b-grade DVDs; The Man-Thing, The Host, Parasite, Ice Spiders and Carnivore. X33

Now a couple of photos. Mom had the camera most of the weekend, but she took a couple of decent ones. I'll go through the rest and see if there are any others worth posting later.

( Four whole AN pics. >>; )

Oh... and on Friday morning Dad got a call that Grandpa (his father, obviously) died. I'm just mentioning it so I have a record of the date. Before anyone says anything about being sorry for me, don't bother; I hadn't seen him in about 18 years, and aside from that I have nothing else to say because you shouldn't speak ill of the dead.

And for things completely un-anime-north-related, RP UPDATE!

Kyo is currently working 14-18 hour days after the bombing at the school last week. He's pretty exhausted. *pets him* Last night Yukari randomly brought him dinner, and he was like "...wut?" until he realised she was Vincent's girlfriend, lol.

Demyx is somewhat trying to convince Zexion they need to take a vacation. At some point soon Marly is having a party and he plans to drag Zexy along to that too. <3

Kadaj. GOD THAT KID IS TROUBLE. First off, Seph found out about him going out with Marluxia and FREAKED OUT (which was to be expected), which of course made Kadaj freak out as well. Now they've somewhat worked it out. Mostly. Then he fucked up royally and slept with Asch, and completely alienated Luke for a few days. D: He was very upset, but he and Luke talked a bit and now everything's okay. As for his relationship with Marly, it's all working out well except that they're likely to have to take some time off until after the trial against Hojo is over. Kadaj is not really impressed with that idea, but... it has to be done. ;__; [Edit: Also, Axel has started calling him Ka-hime because of how much he blushes when asked about Marly lol. I find it amusing. Kadaj was annoyed for about ten minutes and then just gave up because once Axel decides on a nickname you're pretty much stuck with it. He learned that back when they first met. XD;]

Hikaru and Mahiru... .__.; I need to get them doing something. Seriously. Though I think Riku is trying to get the band practicing some, which will take care of Mahiru. *pokes Hikaru and ponders* Hmm.

1) On Saturday, Mom, Lee and I drove my brother to Toronto and put him on a plane to Vegas! 8D Whoot. He's going to be gone a month to visit friends in the States, first in Vegas and then in California somewhere. I told him to bring me keychains. <3

2) The same day, on the way home we stopped at the 400 Market and at Chapters in Barrie. :3 At the 400 Market I got a pair of sunglasses (which I needed terribly), a bunch of eyeliners in various colours to paint my eyebrows to match my wigs for AN and Otakon, a couple little t-shirts for Tet-chan (they were like window ornaments for cars or something? Oo; But they were the perfect size and only cost $1.50 each!) and a candy apple.

At Chapters, Mom spent like $120 on books and manga for me. O___O; I LUFF MY MOM! She got me a huge $30 Mythology Dictionary (note: *squee* <33), #10 of Ouran, #15 + #16 of Tsubasa, #18 + #19 of Furuba (they didn't have #17; Boo! Hiss! D:) and the first two volumes of Rozen Maiden. X33

3) Today we did groceries at 10 in the morning, and Sarah was "too tired" to go and got us to do her groceries for her. Then when we got home 2 hours later she was OUT. She was too tired to do her own fucking groceries, but had lots of energy for going out with friends! Then when I asked her about it, she was like "you've given your Mom lists and got her to do your shopping before, too, I didn't think it would be a big deal."

First; I did that ONCE. And I was SICK AS A FUCKING DOG at the time. I got her to pick up gingerale and pudding for me. And I didn't go out with my friends as soon as Mom had left.

Second; She does this pretty much every second week. "Oh I'm too tired, I didn't get enough sleep last night! I don't feel up to it, can you do it for me?" FUCK YOU SARAH. Last night I slept for like three hours, and I got up off my ass to do my own groceries.

GOD, SHE PISSES ME OFF SOMETIMES! ><;

4) Okay, done my ranting now! ^_^;

5) Haha, RPG! We have a new Axel, which makes Demyx happy because he was getting rather bored and lonely lately. Axel also seems to get along well with Haru, which is bad for Kyo because they feed off each other and then Haru starts doing things like this. XDD

There is a Sohma-picnic thing planned for everyone to get together (tomorrow, I think?), and Kyo wants to bring Zelos because Zelos wants to meet everyone. Kyo is also going to Osaka with Zelos soon to keep him company when he goes for a shoot. In AIM-verse, Zelos has managed to convince Kyo to do a film shoot with him, but we'll see if it happens in RY or not. XD;

Not much to say about everyone else, except that in AIM-verse Kadaj has a little crush on Marluxia. He's a little confused about it, for various reasons. It may or may not translate into RY, but I think it might. ♥ Sephiroth DOES NOT APPROVE LAWL.

I need some Kadaj icons. ^_^

Today I went to Mom's to do laundry, and while I was there she and I went up to the corner to look through the dollar store. She needed a new ashtray, and etc. Anyway, I was thrilled to discover they had in teddy-bear sweaters with maple leaves on them that were the perfect size for dollfies. XDD

So I got a white one for Tet-chan, and inflicted it on him when I got home BWAHAHA. >D



The sleeves are a little short, so I just rolled them up to his elbows. I can't tell if he's pleased or not. XD;; I still have to trim his wig, but I'm so worried I'll screw it up. D: lol.

And also, a shiny-dangly picture, just for the hell of it;



*pets them*

Lots of photos in this post and not much else! First, the pony I finished tonight. I named her "Sakura", which is seriously un-creative, but it was the only thing I could think of since I was thinking of sakura trees when I painted her, colour-wise.

She's one of four kimono-based ponies that I'm doing for selling at AN; basically, the legs are painted with a pattern, and then I give them the kimono bow, which is a pain in the ass to make but comes out looking very pretty. The first time I did one was with Ritsu last year.

Anyway, Sakura's colour pallette is red-brown, red, pink and white. Her legs are painted with falling sakura petals, and she has one under each eye as well. Personally, I'm very proud of her eyes, and as a random fact, I sealed her horn with clear sparkle sealant like they do with the actual MLP unicorns. She was made from a G3 Rarity. <3

The other three kimono ponies are in black/white, yellow and green I think, but are clearly not done or I'd have pics of them to post too. lol.

So, moving on! I have a bunch of snow!pics from Grandma's last week, as well as some winter pics of Tetsuya from when I was there too. ^^ Actually, the amount of snow at Grandma's isn't nearly as bad this year as most; about half as much as is typical for this time of year. Haha. This is a good year?

( Snow~ )

Now! On the second day I was at Grandma's, Tetsuya decided he wanted to go outside and play in the snow. Silly boy. But even though he had a hat and scarf, he didn't have mitts, so Grandma made him a pair out of felt. <3

Hee. He had fun! But then when he came in, he had to strip down so he didn't get really wet from melting snow on his clothes. And I didn't have any other clothes for him with me, so he snuggled into a blanket on the couch and watched TV while they dried on heating vents. ^_^

( Onward to the frolicking! )

When Grandma was here on Saturday we went up to Zellers so I could buy more socks (when I was doing laundry on Friday I found that I only had five pairs of socks lol), and while there I bought a stuffed Christmas penguin... that was on sale for $3. XD;

Why, you ask? Because I wanted to plunder him for his santa hat and scarf. Now they belong to Tetsuya, and the penguin is sadly nekkid. X33

I was supposed to take pics of him outside today with his new hat and scarf, but I completely forgot. So I'll take some tomorrow, okie Michelle~? ^^~ Assuming it's not a raging blizzard, anyway. And he still needs mittens. His poor fingers will freeze outside! D:

Yesterday was our second Christmas. =D; The one with the extended family, at Uncle Len's place. Man, I was running on two hours sleep in two days and kept falling asleep and stuff. xD;

We all hung out and caught up for a couple hours, and then had dinner. The turkey was excellent and the stuffing was ZOMG!awesome, but Clare put bacon on the turkey to keep it moist so I had to take gravol a few minutes before I ate because I'm allergic to pork. Oh well, it was still yummy. lol.

Then we did presents, and I got $80 and two movies (Ratatouille and Evan Almighty) from Grandma, and in the round-about game we play I got a whole bunch of rechargable batteries and a recharger, which is AWESOME because I needed them for taking my camera to Otakon in the summer. :3 Grandma also gave me my birthday gift, which was a $100 gift card to Zellers. YEY.

Mom, Lee and I didn't stay there really late because I was fading fast, but we hung around for a while longer to have dessert (I didn't have much because I wasn't feeling well for various reasons, but I brought a whole bunch of stuff home XD;); Grandma always makes these lemon bars that everyone loves, and this year she made pecan pie bars too that are just to DIE FOR. <33

Oh, haha, I brought Tetsuya with me to show him off to Grandma, and when they found out he was anatomically correct, her and both my aunts insisted on taking his pants off, and then checking to make sure he had nipples too. The poor guy had no dignity for the whole night. XD;;

As a side note to that, Aunt Brenda thought he was a Final Fantasy character until I explained about him. <3

Anyway, when we left I zoned out in the car on the way home (and Tet-chan hid in the bag because he really didn't want to talk to anyone anymore), and called Dad when I got home to say Merry Christmas.

Then I slept for... almost 20 hours. ^_^;

Then I got on AIM to chat with people, and watched Evan Almighty and Ratatouille on my PS2, and now I'm on to The Pursuit of Happyness.

I'm so glad the PS2 can play movies. I had to unplug my DVD player to hook it up, and this way I don't have to be constantly unplugging stuff and plugging it back in. If I want to watch a DVD I just use the PS2 and be done with it... though that makes my DVD player kind of pointless. I might pack it up and put it away so it's not just there taking up space... or something. Hmm.

Not photoblogging (I'm like two months behind in posting my photoblogging photos! XD;;) but I'm back home again with my PC set up, and so I'm finally~ sharing a whole bunch of pictures of Tetsuya. ^^ I've been meaning to do this ever since his head came back from Aiko. <3
