Look! Here is some sort of real update! IN REAL NUMBERED LIST FORM!

1.) New Year -- I have a couple resolutions. Get in shape/eat better (I'm sick of feeling like crap/being sick), budget money better (especially since I will have car payments now! XD), keep websites up-to-date (including making new ones and spiffying up webskillz), get more stuff up on cafepress and bonanzle and etsy holy crap (I have so much stuff here I need to sell - random things, fandom things, crafts, stuff I still need to make), keep up with the RPs I'm in and just be a more positive person, in general. Hehe.

2.) Car -- I have a new car! I got it today. It is a 2010 Honda CR-V (in glacier blue woooo fancy!) and it is my baby. They were able to transfer my tags over from my old car baby, so my car will still say TENEL KA lol. Last car was named the Rock Dragon (complete with shell necklace on the mirror NERD CENTRAL). So I'm thinking about upgrading to the STAR HOME for the name of this one. Hehehehe. Because yes, I am still a dork.

3.) Fandom -- this is all pretty much the same. Star Wars, Silent Hill and Stephen King are still my top three. With Disney, BioShock, zombies (including L4D and all that) and Fallout (the first game is making me giddy XD) always hanging out there near the top of the list too. Meaning I'm sure this year will be filled with more gushing about these fandoms. My apologies come to you in advance. XD

4.) Costumes -- I found my costume boxes last weekend and went through them. Hahah, talk about meeeemories. Those are eight years worth of costumes. I found some that I almost forgot about, lol. Also, I was able to set aside the costumes I am bringing back to Dragon*Con this year: Army!Buster Bluth (Arrested Development), Strike Team!Tenel Ka (Star Wars EU) & Peter McVries (The Long Walk).

I also found all the stuff from the fancy Queen Mother dress I had started making then screwed up on and just dropped it. My ideas came flooding back to me (mmm, Hapan Consortium cape) and I think I might start over on it. Not sure what I'd wear it for since Celebration V is a bust, but I'm sure I will manage. Hehe.

I basically rearranged my boxes like this: Retired Costumes, Tenel Ka Costumes, Silent Hill Costumes, Every Other Costume. XD

5.) Conventions -- unless there is a new fun con to go to, it'll probably be Katsucon and Dragon*Con for me this year. And possibly Anime USA. I'm excited about Katsucon cause it's at The Swanky Gaylord National Harbor which will be awesome cause there's like a little town in the atrium which will be perfect for when Nate and I are wandering around as PROFESSOR LAYTON AND LUKE TRITON LOLOLOL. Those games = love. And we all (me, Nate, Valerie, every Nintendo DS owner/player, haha) always make fun of Layton and Luke for being so horribly awesome and dorky. Plus, Nate is a giant. Meaning the height difference will work to our advantage! OH SNAP. (Also, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories costumes: yes, please. Haha, except Nate will not be in Drunk Dad jacket -- he'll be in normal Harry jacket.)

I GUESS FIVE UPDATES IS ENOUGH. Time go work some sites or the board or RP or do something PRODUCTIVE!

(This is where I hear the LEVEL UP/victory music in my head~ XD)

Yessssssss.


neelys_bar

Last night Mister Nathan and I played Shattered Memories just about twice through. We finally achieved the "Sleaze and Sirens" ending (effing classic) and THE UFO ENDING WHICH IS KJFJKS THE BEST THING EVER. I think the best part about it is the fact that you keep getting text messages when you take each picture like, "MY WIFE. SHE IS ONE OF THEM. HURRY TAKE MORE PICTURES. I HAVE LOCKED HER IN THE CELLAR. MY WIFE OH MY GOD SHE IS ASKING FOR FOOD SHE IS ONE OF THEM."

Then you see the cameo in the UFO ending and it's the most beautiful thing cause it makes so much sense cause I could see him doing something like that. "OH NOES SHE IS AN ALIEN I MUST PILLOW HER. I MUST PILLOW!"

And speaking of all that, guess who posted in his livejournal (hint: draelight)!

I test drove a couple different cars yesterday. I'm really digging the CR-V. So I might go with that one. But I'm not sure yet. Getting past cars and getting back to the other giant part of my omgreallife right now, my health: the water in my ear and my ear infection -- both are finally gone but my midsection is really killing me. I thought it was my stomach but I've been having this stupid weird pain that debates everyday on where it wants to settle. Today it was like "SO I LIKE THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR BODY. RIGHT HERE. HERE SEEMS NICE." Bitch.

Which means I am off to bed and possibly calling the doctor again tomorrow. :\

P.S. I want THIS PAINTING. <333333 dude.

So I've been meaning to play through the whole SILENT HILL series again -- 1.) to celebrate the first game's TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY (well, it was in 2009 since SH1 was released in 1999, hehe) and 2.) because they need all kinds of love and I miss them (even though I just finished Shattered Memories for the fourth time).

Then I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun/silly/crackish if other crazy Silent Hill fans joined me either on an LJ community, board or some other internet outlet?"

Here is MY QUESTION TO YOU (well, all the SH people on my friendslist, lol -- or anyone who owns any of the games). Would any of you like to join in on a group playthrough of the series? It doesn't really matter which games you have and which you don't -- you can play through whichever ones you have and join in the discussions and insanity and silly things that come of it (I can make an LJ comm or something if there is some YAY LETS DO THIS).

Also, how would you want to do it?

A.) RELEASE DATE - CHRONOLOGICAL -- which, if my brain is working, would go Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, Silent Hill 4: The Room, Silent Hill: 0rigins, Silent Hill Homecoming, then Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

or --

B.) IN-UNIVERSE TIMELINE - CHRONOLOGICAL -- this would, I guess/think, be Silent Hill: 0rigins, Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Silent Hill 3, Silent Hill 4: The Room & then finally Silent Hill Homecoming.

(Almost got myself going crazy there. SH2 mentions the Sullivan murders but the second string hadn't started yet -- but Frank Sunderland mentions his son and wife and SH -- therefore my brain kept trying to switch SH2 and SH4 around. I THINK I GOT IT NOW. XD)

ANYONE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE/CRAZINESS?

(Cause you know, it's not as easy to be scared when you have a group of people playing and dorking along with you. Hehehe~)

Is it horrible that I giggled like a total fangirl at this picture?






(... and that I possibly ordered two of the Jacen figures? duh, one to keep in the package and one to take out of and make him do embarrassing things to himself.)

Happy Birthday to my birthday twins (that makes us triplets lololol what), blood_sorbet & princessyukiko~ <333

YAY I AM KIND OF BACK, LIVEJOURNAL. Sick, still. Water in my left ear, stomachache, sore throat, etc., etc. Got to spend the morning of my birthday at the doctor's office. Awesome. Got some nosey sprays and stomach pills and crap. HOPEFULLY I WILL NOT BE STARTING 2010 SICK, cause that would suck.

Still looking for cars. Don't know if I want a new car or a used car. I need to decide something though since I need a car. Hehe.

Christmas was awesome except for the sick. I am very lazy right now with details on everything. D: Although, Valerie and Brian and mom and I watched three hours of Jersey Shore the other night. It was horrible and we felt ourselves getting stoopidddsszz but it was like a train wreck and we couldn't look away. Hehehe.

I need to work on websites and costumes (I think there will be Luke/Layton costumes and Harry/Lisa [ver. Shattered Memories] costumes at Katsucon XD) and stuff. AND CATCH UP ON RPS AND DRESSING ROOMS.

NEW YEAR WOOOO. I need to feel better first though. DDDDD:

WOO HUR HUR SNOW! Nate and I were snowed in this weekend. Meaning lots of video games (mostly Persona 4 and the one I'm about to gush about). An awesome snow tunnel was also made out front, but that is a different and colder story.

I played through the rest of my Silent Hill: Shattered Memories save on Saturday night and beat it. It was about two or three more hours maybe. I was so enthralled by it -- apparently Nate was too. Cause the two of us sat down last night and played through the whole thing again.

(Did I mention the whole snowed in thing here. That just added to the creepy-factor since we were playing a game where Harry Mason is running through a freak snowstorm with a flashlight and the whole world ices over and scary little things start running after you. SNOWED IN. PLAYING THIS GAME. D:)

I got the "Love Lost" ending on my save. Nate played through making Harry a total dick and ended up getting the "Drunk Dad" ending, which was actually kind of awesome. It was sort of depressing to think it might have ended up that way for the characters, but oh god his dance (MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS). LOLOLOLOLOL~ <3333

Nate was going for the "Sleaze and Sirens" ending but apparently he didn't have Harry look at FEMALE PARTS enough. Was too busy checking out the booze. XD So we still need S&S, "Wicked and Weak" and TEH UFO ENDING!!11

I have to give this game like ten thumbs up. Again, I was super skeptical about it but once I tried it out I couldn't really stop playing it. Love Lisa (also love the fact that Harry actually goes back when she calls instead of SHUTTING THE DOOR IN HER FACE), absolutely/horribly love Dahlia, LOVE Cybil and Harry is just too much. <33 They really did well with the storyline here. I've checked some of the forums and it really seems to be a LOVE IT SO MUCH or HATE IT SO HARD kind of game -- I'm in the love camp. Especially all the crap with the cell phone. And the way this game makes you think about death/dealing with death = a little gut-wrenching. Kind of like Silent Hill 2. Kind of hurts when you finish it. You feel a little empty inside.

(EMPTY AND SCARED. I almost peed my pants when I called the phone number in the school and heard that noise with the DOOR'S OPEN. sjdfksjdfkjsdfjiosefjiwenfei)

AND THE SWIMMING HOW COULD I NOT MENTION THE SWIMMING. MY ARMS STILL HURT FROM THE WII-MOTE ACTIVITIES. Swimming and being able to look underwater at the statues was brutal and amazing and perfect. GOOD SHOW, CLIMAX STUDIOS! I APPROVE (also, your use of the Wii's controls/abilities = WIN!)~

(For real, the last Silent Hill game I could play in one sitting and not realize I was doing it was Silent Hill 2 SO A++++++++)

P.S. Make sure you call the Konami help line from Harry's phone. XD

So posting those icons earlier reminded me of a comment my sister made a couple days ago (when she saw the icon I am using now). Here is what came of the comment.

MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS zoopiglet & see_aphy_be (& ben_ethus if we would like to COMPLETE THE TEAM XDDDDDDD) LOL WHAT.



( Icons without text under the cut. But those aren't as fun, lol )

Bill and Coach are special and got orange. That is because their pictures came from primarily orange campaign posters (Dead Air & The Parish). Also, The Optimist sounded too nice-nice to fit with the set like the original icon I have (the one I'm using) so I needed something ANNOYINGLY OPTIMISTIC for their icon -- since they're always little rays of sunshine. I figured cheerleader fit, lolololol.

(Seriously, Louis and Ellis are so hot. As far as fictional dudes go, they're like on a Jacen Solo/Peter McVries/Reiji Kido/Sirrus level for me. This is dangerous. THIS IS CODE RED DANGEROUS. D:)

P.S. HOOOTTTTTTTT. Okay, these need icons made of them too. Ellis looks amazing (I say that about that picture every time I roll over the Single Player campaign option, good lawd) and I LOVE NICK'S EXPRESSION. Coach looks so bitchy too. And Rochelle is SUPER SERIOUS BUSINESS. GUNSSSSSSSS.

Okay, zoopiglet, I mentioned this to Mom too (p.s. So You Think You Can Dance finale --- YESSSSSSSSSS RESULTS <3) as Adam Lambert was singing on said finale. And I will admit it right here, right now. I WANT TO ADD HIS CD TO MY CHRISTMAS LIST. Also, I would love to be his stylist: "Let's just add some pieces of trash bag to that suit! Right there on your shoulder! You will look amazing, Adam!" And then Adam goes out on stage and looks damn smashing with trash bag on his shoulder, lol.

(jfdhjfhajsdhfjasdhfjah "Sleepwalker" and "For Your Entertainment" dsjfasfkajsj WUT)

OKAY OKAY THAT'S ALL BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED NORMAL HEATHER THINGS XD [/THIS KIND OF STUFF]

Here is another small-exchange-random-thing from this Louis/Ellis story. This story is a lot longer than I originally planned. But I am not complaining. I JUST KEEP RUNNING WITH IT, I DON'T KNOW.

"Did I tell you about the time Keith got beat up over a bag of chips?"

"Actually you did. You did two days ago when I was eating those stale tortilla chips we stole from that Mexican restaurant up the road."

(I also think I might give Louis a backstory on that torn pants leg of his. MUAHA.)


ALSO SOME RANDOM ZOMBIE FIGHTER ICONS. WITH BLOOD OR WITHOUT BLOOD!

So as I mentioned earlier this morning in some loltweets, I had a dream last night where the sky turned purple and see_aphy_be dared me to write Ellis/Louis slash. Now, obviously I had L4D on the brain because of the DLC announcement, but wtf with the rest of it.

Her and I were keeping watch for zombies cause apparently when the sky turned purple that meant they were coming. As we stood guard, we ended up on the subject of Left 4 Dead and somehow in this conversation, Ashley dared me to write Ellis/Louis slash. I seemed really excited about it in the dream cause I think I had some SUPER AWESOME IDEA FOR IT. Then I woke up. Which sucked, cause I kind of wanted to know what my UBER-COOL IDEA was for it. Why was I so excited about it (besides the fact that they are both hot)?

So of course, this led my brain to pick apart the dream. And I think you know where this is going.

(Then later today Ashley actually dared me. YESSSSSSSS LOL.)

HAHAHAHAH HERE IS A SMALL PART OF THIS THING I'M WRITING:

"I don't know. I thought you were a... a what-do-you-call-'em... met-- metrasexual."

"Metrosexual." Louis couldn't keep a chuckle from escaping. "And no, I'm just an office worker."

"Wait, they all dress like that at your job?"

Louis nodded.

"Yuck. Bo-ring."

"What are you talking about? This is stylish."

"And boring." Ellis finally finished reloading the shotgun and set it in front of him on the ground, between his legs. He shook his head. "Monkey suits."

IT IS TWO WORLDS COLLIDING, I'M TELLING YOU. Ellis better not tell Keith about this. Cause Keith would either a.) laugh at him or b.) get jealous. I'm thinking B.

P.S. This commercial is CLASSIC. It is such an awesome holiday commercial. And it gets stuck in your head so easy. "OH SNAP GUESS WHAT I SAW~"

P.S.S. GORDON RAMSAY: COOKALONG LIVE - I LOVE THIS <333333333333333 I've never seen Ramsay this HAPPY AND NICE. It's adorable.

OH MY GOD IS THIS REAL I DON'T EVEN---

Valve has announced the first piece of DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, which brings in Louis, Bill, Zoey and Francis from the first game to meet the cast of the second. It also promises new game modes, and a new Uncommon Common infected for the new location.

We're excited! It's due to arrive "early 2010," according to the press release, which continues thus:

"Dubbed "The Passing," the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360.

Targeted for release in early spring, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters.

In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, "The Passing" will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play. The Passing will also include a new "uncommon common" zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm.

'The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign,' said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. 'It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry.'"

FANGASM AND A HALF OSHIT. IJFSDIJD OIIO FDSHF DF--

SOURCE (EDIT: OFFICIAL SOURCE!)

I CAN'T-- HOW DO I CHOOSE BETWEEN LOUIS AND ELLIS?!?!?!??!? SJADKAJ

HAHAHAHAHHA WHOOPS. I don't know, I can't help it right now. Maybe tomorrow I will try to wean myself off of this song.

Okay, so this song. THIS SONG. Like I have said before, it is a seven minute eargasm. I don't know what it is, there's just a bunch of slick things about it that when they all add up it makes for an AMAZING SONG. I know I call Jared Leto OMG SO EMO and stuff for fun sometimes (cause it totally fits what can i say lol) but I still love him (and his emoness) cause it all works in this seven minutes perfectly. Perfectly.

It takes at least a minute to get to the vocals, the buildup of which is slow and actually a little creepy/foreboding (I love the fact that it goes from hard to this simple beat when he finally starts singing) and then the first two lines of the song are like, "...did he just say what I think he said?" (yes, he did) -- and the best is whenever it explodes into the chorus. I'm not just using explode as an omgkewl word here. I mean it actually like blows up in your ear (this song sounds awesome in headphones); it just comes out of nowhere and grabs you and drops you into this ANGSTY PIT OF BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING TORMENTY THINGS. Leto is usually all growly and then he gets into his soaring notes and shit, which he does in this song, of course. But he also has some sort of, I don't know how to describe it, this weird thing going in this song -- it's almost like he's desperate. It's not a bad weird either (it's actually pretty hot D: ...again what can i say). The way his voice fits over the long notes in the chorus = <33333. sfjdkjafj ai can't kjfdjks so good AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SAYS IT'S EPIC...

"This is War is a record that will please both new and old fans alike. It merges the two differing sounds of the band’s previous two releases, as it is crammed with catch-all choruses as mentioned but is also fairly progressive as the band’s self-titled debut was. Only these progressive moments are more haunting and epic than ever before, as Stranger in a Strange Land proves."

I want to see them in concert so bad. I hope they come back here to tour after their U.K. tour. Although I might faint if they played this song THEN I WOULD MISS IT AND THAT WOULD BE BAD.

SONG SONG SONG. LISTEN TO THE LOVE. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WITH AN MP3 IF ANYONE WANTS THE REAL QUALITY (WITH THE EXPLOSIONINGSSS -- cause lol on the youtube the exploding magic wants to blow the speakers out).

(ALSO, I LOVE THE CUTE PISSED OFF TIGER ON THE FRONT OF THIS CD.)

I am here to gush about two things I purchased this week. I would've bought them on Tuesday, but I had a nice Best Buy coupon that started Friday. So I had to wait out the rest of the week. It was almost painful to wait because these were two things I have wanted for a long, long while now. BUT NOW I HAS DEM.

1.) THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS - THIS IS WAR -- Oh maaaaaan what. I can't even I don't whhhaaaaaat. This was worth the wait between cds. It all fits together so well and they're trying new things (that actually work) and it's just perfect. The song Stranger in a Strange Land has basically broken my TOP TEN LIST OF FAVORITE SONGS EVER. I could get into the song, but I feel like I will be sharing it with you all in a post dedicated strictly to the song and how it sounds and every little thing about it that I love (AND MAYBE A LINK TO LISTEN LOL). A+ 30STM. <3

2.) SILENT HILL: SHATTERED MEMORIES (Wii) -- Okay, right up front I will say that I was highly skeptical about this game and if it could do the series justice. I'm not that far into it yet but I can already say that it totally does the series all kinds of justice. I was spooked out by the way my coloring of the family picture affected what I saw and the creatures just creep me the eff out.

Having the phone calls and messages come straight from the Wiimote's speaker is an absolute genius move too. And can I just say ALL THE VOICE ACTING SO FAR IS AMAZING HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???? Even little parts like the phone message from the angry mother while she's talking to Diane and bitching about the crappy family vacation -- it's perfect. I also like calling all the random phone numbers I find. That's lots of fun too. The fact that there's no combat, just running and pushing and hiding, takes a little bit to get used to, but it's actually kind of awesome and I'm okay with it. It fits. And the way the chase sequences are looks great.

(Nate says the Raw Shocks -- love the name of them, by the way -- just look lonely. They're hugging Harry to death! They just want a friend! D:)

And as pissed as I was about them changing character designs and junk, new!Harry is awesome (love his jacket -- and his glasses oh man <3) and I got this version of Cybil (which is absolutely smokin', by the way <333). I'm a fan so far and I'm interested to see where it goes. It's definitely much different than the original Silent Hill.

Even though it's giving me nightmares. Seriously, the chase sequences. dkjfaklsdjfkajsdfkljaskldfjasdfj nightmares. D:

I think I need a SHSM icon.

(I love how you can call the Konami Help Line from Harry's phone. <333)

OKAY, SO I THINK THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE LINKED THIS IN MY LIVEJOURNAL DAYS. But that is because it is still that awesome to this day and I have to do my yearly/weekly/whatever plug of it. LOL.

SOME KIDS DO A BOOK REPORT OF THE YOUNG JEDI KNIGHT BOOK "THE LOST ONES"

I will never ever ever in my life get over how awesome this is. XDDDDDD

(ZEKK'S FRO. PECKHUM'S VIKING HELMET. TENEL KA'S SPARKLY HAIR AND EMOTIONLESS RESPONSES. JACEN'S AWESOME HAND GESTURES. <3333333

I still think my favorite moment is...

"SORRY PECKHUM."
"...NO... ZEEEEKKKKKKK.")

Alright, so August 12 - 15, 2010 there will be the Celebration V Nonvention! Which will pretty much be the online version of Celebration V (which is the fifth incarnation of an official Star Wars con being held that weekend in Orlando). This is for all the people who can't make it to Celebration V. Whether it's because they can't afford it, they're waiting for Dragon*Con/just got back from Comic-Con or just don't want to go to CV.

We will be holding panels (lol chats!) and contests (mspaint what!) and roleplaying (lol crack!) doing all kinds of other crazy things that we will come up with soon. It will be held over livejournal, AIM, the board and possibly a little Google Wave thrown in for good measure (imagine all the crack with picture chats and crap, yessss). So if you're on all of those, then you're good to go!

WHEN IS IT AGAIN?: August 12 - 15, 2010. All you have to do is register har har (see below) and then be online that weekend. I'm sure that won't be a problem for most, hehehehe.


HOW DO I REGISTER?: Cause all real cons have registration!

1.) Make you have a livejournal (uh check lol), an AIM name and you are registered at the crackness known as Mindbreak -- also, if you need a Google Wave invite for the non-con craziness, let me know.

2.) Either shoot me an email at heatherATwhatthefunDOTnet or PM me on Mindbreak with the following...

-- Name (your first name)
-- Nickname (any nickname you go by)
-- LJ name (uh, your livejournal XD)
-- Mindbreak Board Handle (what you go by on there)
-- Email (CON UPDATES!)
-- AIM (screenname for chattering)
-- Location (mapping everyone out!)
-- Favorite Star Wars movie (just ONE)
-- Favorite Star Wars book (just ONE)
-- Favorite Star Wars character (I KNOW IT'S HARD, BUT JUST ONE XD)

The last three are for amusement only, lol. And I might include them somewhere in the futures.

I will add you to the OFFICIAL REGISTRATIONATED LIST HAR HAR once I get your info. And it will be going up on the board in the CV-Non-Con thread (there will most likely be a sub-forum added for the non-con at some point) -- I won't put all your info up there, just your name/board handle. :D

3.) THAT'S IT. Just check back on the board for updates concerning activities and such and look forward to the madness that will take place in August. Hehehe.

AND GUESS WHAT? REGISTERING FOR THIS IS NOT $120. IT'S FREE. XD


WHAT KIND OF INSANITY SHOULD I EXPECT THAT WEEKEND?: There will be various chats on various aspects of Star Wars (the movies, the books, the video games, etc.), some art and writing challenges perhaps, maybe some costume or youtube or etc. dorkery along with some crazy roleplaying (characters taking over the board, character chats, things of the sort) -- more will be posted on the forum when the time gets closer.

I hope to see all you non-CV attendees online that weekend for lots and lots of hours of WTF IS GOING ON HAHAHA WHAT IS THAT SHIT THIS IS WHY I LOVE STAR WARS. <333

Okay, wrist braces be damned right now, this is getting a real typed out entry.

REASONS WHY CELEBRATION V FAILS:

1.) ORLANDO. IN AUGUST. - see, location is fine. I'm cool with Orlando. Way cool. But in the middle of August? Are you trying to kill the stormtroopers and the Padmes with the heat? Hell, any of the costumers. Orlando in August. Not even the costumers even! JUST EVERYONE. Orlando in August is horrible -- not just hot but humid.

2.) THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST. - Less than a month before Dragon*Con? Yeaaaaaaaah, no.

3.) $120 FOR FOUR DAYS? - I remember CIII being a lot, but I don't recall it being $120. I can get four days to Dragon*Con for half that.

4.) LESS THAN A YEAR AWAY? - Way to go on the planning time!

I think anyone not going -- we should have an ONLINE CON LOL. That weekend we can have chats pertaining to different things (panels) and other fun ideas. WHO WANTS IN? IT WON'T BE HOT. AND IT'S FREE. XD

MY WRISTS HURT FROM THIS RANTING. Also, yesssss got my antibiotics today so NO MORE EAR WATER. D:

so i went to the doctors today cause my ear has been bugging me. so has my arm. turns out i have carpal tunnel syndrome AND an ear infection. as you can see i'm not typing all hip hip hooray caps and things like normal cause i am wearing mega wrist braces of doom and i am too lazy to reach over for that shift key. so if i am talking to you on aim or something and I am not my usual OCCASIONAL CAPSLOCK self then it is cause the carpal tunnel lolololol.

it's from all the computing at work. and then working on the websites for yay and websites for school. and and and i added stuff to the cafepress shop so woop woop holiday gifts and stuff. XD long walk jerseys (garraty, mcvries, stebbins, olson and baker -- i still need to add a couple more), silent hill junk, fallout 3, left 4 dead, borderlands, arrested development, persona 4 -- all kinds of junk relating to AWESOME THINGS in there. [/pimp] XDDDD

i need to figure out some Star Wars EU things to put up there heheheeheh

(i also might have some ideas for calendars... which means i need to get those on the shop very soon... :O)

my ear is crackling. :( the fluid buildup is in both of them (i just thought it was my left) and the pharmacy didn't have the amoxicillin so i have to go back tomorrow to pick it up.

DECEMBER 8TH the soundtrack to the game is amazing. can't waittttt hope arms are better so i can playyyyyy

Thanksgiving was good. My sister and her husband hahahaha I am still not used to saying that XD (lol you might know them from the board, D*C, etc.) were here and we ate lots of food and played lots of Xbox and acted like nerds. Like yesterday when Valerie and I went into Joann's and went craft/fabric/nerd crazy while Brian and Nate went into Game Parlor next door and totally geeked out over cards/games/etc.

Yesterday was Valerie's birthday and I made her a ghetto red velvet cake with a BOOMER ON IT. He was barfing all over her cake. It's way cheesier looking than I make it sound. But it was still awesome. XDDDDDDD

I WANT TO WORK ON COSTUMES SO BAD. I think I might have my D*C 2010 list finalized too. Possibly. So that's always fun. Although, Valerie and I were talking about another group thing in Joann's yesterday, so that might go somewhere too, MUAHAHAHAHA~

Then my mom and I put up Christmas decorations today and I got giddy. Because I love the holiday season. <333

P.S. I put some junk on ebay that I need to get rid of (I WAS CLEANING BOXES OUT THIS MORNING). Well, I don't want to get rid of it, but all the items need good homes cause I have to clean up around here. :( If anyone sees anything they want they can bid on it or let me know and maybe we can make a deal woooo (except for the Supernatural magazine cause there's already people watching it)!

HERE IT ALL BE. Selphie (FF8) action figure, Basch (FF12) mini-fig, FFX trinkets, Shakespeare cheat book (XD), Radiohead cd/book, amazing/creepy SW prequel toys, WK pencil board... I also have a Persona 2 manga that I haven't put up yet but was thinking about just asking people on here about it anyways. So I can put up a picture of that if anyone wants to see it, hur hurrrr.
