Back from a trip that followed the same layout and pacing of a trip that we said we'd "better not do anymore - there's nothing for us here" - evidently the Dad forgot, but if the Dad sez we is going on famlee vaycay then we is going on 'famlee' vaycay. I think the most exciting bit was going on Tiger airways, my very first time on a budget airline, whereupon as we walked out to the stairs [never done that before, other than in China I think - most are covered walkways] and I had my camera out the lady said "NO PHOTOS" so I was a dick and took about 7, I think, as I progressed upwards. They're very effective - spent the hour of flight filling in immigration cards and there we were.

The rest of it was a blur of taxi up to Genting [according to the Dad the driver was doing 140 and was alternating between three phones the illegal way], cig smoke, walking, waiting, watching the last F1 race again and spoilering people waiting around us [not that they cared or anything], walking 15 minutes to another hotel's Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to get some constructive work done for two days, watching really horrific made for telly movies like Jekyll, whose idea of a modern-day Hyde has a pompadour and ends up shedding his massive sideburns and dubious goatee when he turns back into Jekyll. We also watched Speed Racer, which was not made for telly, but awful all the same. Grand Pree?!? Can't even say Grahnd Pree like the in-show commentators do, and you'd think they'd get a hint and really 3 mil is like nothing in the world of grand prix racing and what is Rain doing attempting to pronounce 'commodity' I couldn't stop laughing/crying. What do I expect from the Wachowskis? Fuck nothing. Anyway, the best one was this show that even featured main character narration that managed to beat out both Speed Racer and Jekyll in betterness, so I Do (But I Don't) is alright but its name tragically really does not reflect the plot. Anyway the rest of it involved getting pretty sick on the way down, discovering that the so-called hotel reservation hadn't been made at the decent hotel we wanted to be at [for a nice spa and pool and bar] and the Dad did not want to make a fuss about the idiocy of the entire thing until he came back from another hotel that was half the price and then made a fuss about it for feedback because he didn't want to pay for the decent hotel in the end. So we spent a night in a hotel that has existed since the early 1960s and the stains on the sheets looked about as old as well. I watched an indie Polish documentary halfway which does not have a synopsis on the web, unfortunately, and silencestation had a panic attack in the night and that did not turn out so well.

We viciously spent the Dad's money [not quite successfully, we're not very good at this, we didn't spend in Genting at all, the spa in the second hotel was terrifying and when I wandered into the 'bar' a couple of cleaners looked at me with great bewilderment] on maybe about three to four cups of tea, a punky/rock double-buckle wrist-cuff, card collecting albums, hundreds of card sheaths, a chair for Tea, craptons of Decepticon insignias [could not bring myself to even touch the Autobot ones at all], three fancy hats [one is a Decepticon cap, a grey houndstooth newsboy cap and a classy Buttonman stripe trilby] and matching pinstripe pants [black and grey, both 50% off while the Dad was looking for bags for his girlfriend and I lost interest]. Oh yes, and a sweet pink wallet for silencestation to match her handphone. Ask to see it when you see us.

In the meantime, the bad air quality due to excessive cig smoke both indoors and outdoors in KL sliced my throat up, and the excessive cold in the crappy hotel gave me a cold, and I'm just relieved that during my obsessive temperature-taking I'm 36 degrees [haha Placebo reference]. I am somewhat concerned and would go to the doctor just in case I am what H1N1esque or something but I am also almost sure it will lead to complete overreaction like it did for poor Aki here [though m'dear I can barely think that dengue is much better - take care you], but it wouldn't be. So I will be careful around Jun and pray Panadol saves my soul, or something.

In other news, I got my first Rock Band vocal gold stars the night before we left, as I desperately clung to my fake instruments and my Wii dlc. But there are embarrassing things so here's some visual evidence with the embarrassing stuff censored.



We also had brief famlee bonding time while I employed both Jun and the Dad in my attempts to take dewy plant macros, to no avail. I will post pictures of Unhappy Spider sometime. Right now I am home but still in despair because I still have to fight with the college bidding system for my fifth and last module, of which I may not be able to get, and subsequently fuck up my year timing. I am trying not to think about it.

HALLELUJAH!

wait, you lie! I don't have an erect penis! D:

On the other hand, a quiz! The one everyone has been posting! It's not just the indepth analysis and the pretty results it comes with, but really more of the fantastically cute and adorable layout that the quiz has! It's seriously nice. And so're the humour books they recc. It's the only quiz where its marketing has worked on me. [But obviously not enough, because I'm not buying them!]



__________________________

Gawd, I hate this, I woke up at what I call an unearthy time of the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. Now it's 2pm. SAD! I'm SAD!

Things are getting hard to juggle. Working fulltime on the costumes, but I have a pesky little/BIG History group essay first draft to handle before the con and leaving on the day right after that. I'm interestingly making semi-decent progress - it would be a mind-blowing experience to have everything done the night before the con, and get some amount of sleep without stressing out till morning. Wow! That fucking blows my mind.

Since we're going to China, I have to get some clothes done too. The con is on the 16th, we leave for Teochew and Fu Jian on the 17th at 5 inna morning, and I'd like to be packed and have some sleep too. Si Ye needs some male ethnic clothing, a new shirt to match the Volks cardigan. Sana needs not-his-ethnic clothing, an emo hoodie. Tea needs ethnic clothing.

What's left for the xxxholic stuff?
1. Finishing touches to Spider Lady + Doumeki
2. Yuuko [getting Glory over for her Lishe bodeh]
3. Zashiki Warashi
4. Maru + Moro summer outfits

Hmm. That really could be far worse! It's not that bad. Godspeed!

Oh, also - the poll results are that I should cosplay Suzumiya Haruhi, 4 votes to 3 for Nagato Yuki. I shall take this into serious consideration! Djinn says if she went by my personality she'd pick Suzumiya Haruhi too.

Agh. I'm being driven crazy by Volks' teasing little banners of their Dolpa 16 dolls. I'm unfortunately and terrifiedly especially interested in Amelia, and I'm hoping she's a rerelease of Olivia for Japan. Someone, anyone, please, please get the guidebook and post pictures of the new DP15 dolls. TAT

Man U vs Chelsea game! As everyone and their grandmother predicted, 1-1. Chelsea needs to stop letting up after they score, they honestly could've won. But I'm glad they didn't, because I utterly hate it when someone - anyone - scores past Edwin van der Sar. Also, Gaz is so good with kiddies! ♥
__________________________

The thing is, I was supposed to post about something but I'm not sure if I have. I've honestly spent this whole LJ entry indulging myself and milling over what I was supposed to be posting. Forgive me if I double post today.

The only song I know specifically about LA is Death Cab For Cutie's Why You'd Want to Live Here [right-click to download] and one may say that that's unfortunate, though I do see at least a modicum of truth in it.

I'm stepping on sensitive ground, considering I have beloved American friends who live in LA. I loved Disneyland, the Chinese Theatre, and everything you could close your eyes and whisper "tourist tailored" at or about. I of course, loved the LA Sumika but God, we stood outside the shop for about an hour sour at each other as we waited in the cold for a cab, eyeing the industrial smoke about a kilometer off. The latter experience had left me literally in tears.

Some of these photos are from the undoctored parts of LA – when we decided to innocently catch a cab downtown and found ourselves going past the office buildings and pulling over in the bustle of urban decay and people trying to ignore the fact that next to this district of street markets and Spanish cries of sale, there were people earning thousands more in white glass towers than they ever could or would selling hotdogs and clothes.

Some of these photos are from the little towns of LA, peppered with many little large lowrise houses – landed property – and sprinked with malls and Walmart several miles off from the residential areas. These will come first in the travelogue.

I love urban areas and landscape as much as anyone does, and probably more – but nothing has led me to feel as terrified or helped me finally understand the melancholy of urbania as much as my explorations in LA, catching the small hotel bus off to the little districts and passing by the residential areas of Torrence.

This does not mean to say I find the place ugly - I think that the following photos possess a certain sort of beauty, and it would be hypocritical to say otherwise of the area.

[Also, forgive the fact that most of the photos have named derived from Deathcab for Cutie. XD; I've been doing it even before I knew I loved their music, so it's a habit hard to break.]



[click for large version] - This is named Crooked Teeth, remniscent of the line "at night the sun in retreat made the skyline look like crooked teeth". This was taken outside one of the malls in Torrance.

( LA 2005 - he said 'It varies from season to season, kid.' )

I think the thing I was feeling, the genuine depressive mood of the area and what I was frightened of, was an inexplicable feeling of landlocked imprisonment. It terrifies me how one can stay in one's little town with its little malls for several decades without doing or knowing anything else beyond that. The narrow world view scares me – and reminds me of that line from Deathcab's Brothers on a Hotel Bed : "even at our swiftest speed, we couldn't break from the concrete".

We actually ran into a genteel black man outside the Harley Davidson Café in Las Vegas, who stopped us to ask if we were from England since Djinn was wearing her England training jacket. It turns out he used to work in the airline industry and remnisced about his visits to Singapore and the food here. We really enjoyed talking talking to him and it was so obvious that how knowledgeable and intelligent he was. It was very awesome.

I admit I am privileged and because of the size and culture of Singapore, overseas travel isn't too hard a thing to do, but definitely it's in my blood to see more and experience more, far more. I implore of you, if you ever get the chance to go overseas, do it – or gear towards doing it if you can. There is so much more to see.
__________________________

And so, on a less somber ending note : I updated yourbrains! Please go check out the new strip. :)

I wish you could hear this entry's title in Placebo's Pure Morning as opposed to the usual phrase. It's so much more inspiring that way.

Heya howdy all, as it must be apparent I am sick after traipsing down and back from Nanyang Polytechnic for lunch yesterday afternoon with what I like to call the three Js - Joyce, Jessica and Jason who are the closest equivilent to bosom buddies in my new school. As it is, I find it unfair that me, being paranoid and possession-conscious got caught in the rain with my bag, and my things got soggy. Djinn calls it "divine retribution". I say, "fuck the idiot who drove past me and merrily sent a spray of water in my direction".

So as it is, I'm home and feeling not too bad because even though I finished my history tutorial outline and everything I need today, I'm not missing much because of the sports meet, whereupon I would be doing nothing but sitting down and cheering for people I don't actually know. Not my cup of tea. [As opposed to probably divineoracle and shinigamid.]

So as it is, I'm getting stuff done. Though being sick isn't a rose garden, it sure is pretty good to kick back feeling like a druggie at 7.30 am thinking about the suckers out in the school square.

Things haven't really been going well since my dad is taking the same route as my mom and being rather volatile about everything - it's times like these I'm actually glad I get to see him only twice in a day. Seriously man, stop acting like a woman. Before you know it you'll have leukemia too, then where will we be?

In any case, new icons have been made! ::cheer:: Due to the nice person who got me more paid time, I now have 35 icon slots - it's mindboggling~ So today, when I got up groggily and figured out how to take screenies from VLC player [aka, download the new version], I made two icons that I've wanted to make for a long time quickly.



Mind-taking!



Please don't beat me up!

I also forgot to add a CoH icon of mine the last time :



Axn busy being pwned by some spectral daemon lord.
_____________________________________

What's really exciting about this post - gasp you say, there's a point to this? Yes, there is, I'm going to post a vague traveloguey thing about our Vegas 2005 trip with Scrunge.

I like Vegas.
Naked women, gambling and alcohol.


( I like Vegas a lot. )

And that's it! I hope you found it fun. Off to dinner now. I terrorize you with my new icons!

I feel immensely apologetic that Djinn and I have no Christmas pic to share. Generally, our Christmas involved us getting back at about 12 or so in the morning on the night of Christmas eve after a gruelling 18+ hour flight back from LA and Djinn stuck behind some obnoxious White American Dude, us staying up through the night cleaning up the mess of the house that was the result of the EoY con and determined not to sleep through Christmas, surviving up to about 6pm as I called twenty thousand gaming retail shops about City of Heroes/Villains time cards [of about two had but were closed, while all the others were open but didn't have 'em] and Djinn swept up most of the mess in the house.

And then we conked out until about 4.30 in the morning, whereupon I woke up and thought, well shit.

I really wanted to take a Christmas pic to happily wish you all MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ALL THAT but really, I also spent some time on Christmas looking for a prop I needed [which signified Christmas, really] but since we moved I have no idea where it was, and we don't celebrate Christmas anymore, which means that the need to take out that prop beforehand was eliminated once my mom died [except for the times that Djinn tried and succeeded in making it a proper Christmas for me] so er, I was really quite upset that I couldn't find it. In any case, Merry Christmas and related holidays to everyone from both Djinn and I, since she's still asleep, with good reason, too.

On the other hand, the LA and Vegas trip could be considered like a two week sort of Christmas, because Djinn and I got to meet two of our most favourite people in the world, Scrunge and Far Cry. And they were absolutely awesome in ways I can't describe well - Scrunge, you were wonderful, it was so great to see you in person after knowing you and talking to you for over 3 years! I had such a blast with you, you were utterly fun and lovely and those three and a half days were awesome. Love you. ::tight huggle::

And you, Far Cry, I wish I had more than 5 hours with you, but those short 5 hours were great. You are completely as and more pretty than I thought in real life, and so charming and smart. XD I will babble more to you once you're back, my lovely Cedric 2008! Much love too. ::tight snuggle::

And lots of happy loot from USA! but I'll refrain from posting about that until Djinn is good and ready. My dad was great and I was glad that he was so nice to bring us to the US [except when he was being obnoxious and made me all weepy for a bit] and of course, my constant companion Djinn dear, who I can never have any proper fun without, and being a wonderful shoulder to cry and to sleep on XD;;;

I hate Sei and Si Ye, because they were unbelievably heavy and because of their constant interaction and possible antics caused me to worry about running out of space on a 1 GB mem card. [I took more than 1100 photos in the end.]

In any case, once again, Happy Holidays to all, I hope those who asked for our postcards get them soon, and hope you all had a fantastic Christmas. Though Djinn and mine was practically nothing, we did have lots of tiring fun in the 14 days before [exception the two days we spent flying] and I hope you all get that sort of fun crammed into one day. I will take out that SD sized Christmas tree next year, I swear! ::le sob::

ZEDA please email your Sumika list and your mailing address to me at tangled@silentragedy.net!

FAR CRY please email your arrival time in LA! [sorry we lost it XD;]

JUDY replied your email, sorry for the delay! please mail your mailing address to me!

EMERA also replied your email, please mail your mailing address to me!

All those in this list, please EMAIL BACK WITH WHAT I NEED IN 24 HOURS, PREFERABLY BEFORE 10PM LAS VEGAS TIME [whatever that is XD;]. ANY LATER WOULD BE CUTTING IT REAL CLOSE.

And to everyone else, yes, I'm posting this in Las Vegas, and sitting on a very ghey purple chair. Promise to do fun photostories and take as many photos as I can. If you still want the postcards, please send me an email at tangled@silentragedy.net IN 24 HOURS TIME WITH YOUR REAL MAILING ADDRESS. If you suddenly found that you're going to be in Torrence, do the same except without your real mailing address. In any case, we will have as much fun as we can, hope you guys are doing well, goodnight.

[for the note, no, I don't throw away birthday cards, it's a line from "Left and Leaving" by The Weakerthans.]

In any case, this meme has been forced upon me by ivoryfox, because she must be wanting to tell me something embarrassing about me.

It's this one :

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your (online journal if you've got one) and be surprised (or moritified) about what people remember about you.

I don't really like the phrasing actually, and the fact that 'mortified' has been misspelled, but in any case, if you're as coldhearted and picky about the word 'mortified' as I am, I create a rephrased version.

Post a comment with a memory of you and me - [and since the original said] good or bad. When you're done post it on your own online journal for people to wax nostalgic to reply to!

Huzzah! In either case, I know Ivory is going to shame me with her memory of me, and so if you feel like ruining/making my day, either way, do as the meme says. ^^ Thanks. And apologies for the meme invasion. Oh, and feel free to take for yourself of course. Either version. XD

In other news - well, I've been holding this back except for certain people, but my dad is taking such a long time about it that I've given up. Anyway, Tangled Will Be Visiting America [Las Vegas + Los Angeles] This December from around the 14th to the 22nd or so. Prolly Will Not Come Over Again For A While. Anybody In America Want to Meet Us?

I'm serious. XDD Actually, our Las Vegas days are booked by scrunge, our last day in LA mostly by Far Cry [whom I will be cosplaying with! XD]. We will be [obviously] going to the LA Tenshi no Sumika, won't be on a tour group. So if there's anyone, any of you guys in America who want to and prolly can meet us, please, please comment and tell us! It'd be fantastic to see you and your dolls in person, and we can have fun at Sumika together.

False advertising earlier on though, we're only bringing Si Ye and Seishurou.

So, anyone? XD

All of a sudden in Orchard at 11 plus, I get a message saying "Enjoy" then "Check your LJ" from a friend.

At 12.30 I reached home and Djinn said - "Mae, oh my god. Come and look at this."

And I find out that he has given me a paid account for six months.

Oh my GOODNESS you CRAZY MAN Kaze! ::hug:: Thank you! You really, really really shouldn't have - thank you so much!

[Pity I deleted all but three of my icons in preparation XD;;; but I get to keep my Tangled mood set and I can create a whole bunch more icons for 6 months! ::dances::]

Once again - thank you! XD!!

So today I shall do a nice long post, a photopost to be exact. I've managed to dig up the Europe photos from a year back, and Djinn and I plan to do Tangled stuff with most of them [most of them were taken with that purpose in mind] but there're some I took which are funny, and make for nice postcards.

So here it is, nice, amusing, general-public friendly photos!

( Europe 2004 Selected Photos )

And that's the end of the Europe photos. I now remember lots of things from Europe. Like getting stuck in the middle of the boonies for hours with the bus driver missing in Switzerland. Like the case of the back-from-the-dead man in the airplane. Like seeing a giant "V" in the stars and surmising with Djinn that it probably meant "Voltron". And all. Perhaps I'll talk about those next time, when we're done with all the photos.

And now for the present - today, Djinn and I packed up Si Ye and brought him out. When we say "brought him out" or "brought them out" we generally mean "to Orchard Road" because bringing them out to, say "Toa Payoh" or "Bishan" or "Jurong Point" is simply not the same. XD;;; Orchard Road, for the non-Singaporeans, is the place we keep featuring in Tangled - aka. Ruka's Big Day Out, the Kids Go Orchard.

It was really fun to bring Si Ye out. He's really a very trendy boy, because of his past and all, and he's the most connected with modern society. Lots of photos worked out very well, and I'm very happy with a lot of them. But I didn't want to post the best ones because that would totally defeat the point - so here's one of them:



And you'll see more when we catch up with our photostories. In the meantime - I'll leave this picture out of an LJ cut also because people need to see it.

SPOT THE ROCK

With that Chingay event going on in Orchard, I do believe people were given paper shield-like things to paint. Djinn and I were walking along and we saw THIS. Obviously SOMEONE is a Naruto fan. XDDDD If you're Singaporean, I strongly suggest that you go walking around Orchard soon and SPOT THE ROCK. It's really interesting to see it in person and I wonder how many copyright laws this person is breaching. XDDDD

Other than that, CNY hasn't been spectacular, particularly since my dad decided to bring his girlfriend along when we visited the father side of the family and they talked to her more than they talked to us, which reminds me why I dislike them all so much.
Homework and tests loom, but we're trying to work on Tangled as well, thank you for your patience.

I seem to be typing very long posts nowadays. Be thankful! XD ::flees::

I am posting in the airport just like before! Muahahahaha!!

Anyway, before we go off, Djinn and I have something to show youuuu.


Click for a larger version! ^___^

I'm currently lugging the big boys around while Djinn is carrying the small ones plus our heavy handheld stuff. XD;; I think I've rushed out 9 pieces of clothing this week for their winter stuff. Tsuki's is called 'Dem Poor Zebras'. I'll post lots of pics when I'm back, it's inevitable. >D

Miss me! ::fleeeeee::

The 3rd of December Djinn and I will leave for Japan. You probably won't miss us nor our LJ posts because our LJ posts are far and few inbetween! Or something.
I know some of you will also certainly not miss us and hoping we die or something because we're going to Dolpa 12. XD;;

I'll be seeing Mainey there, too. ^^ Are you bringing Kazumi?

We'll be gone from the morning of the 3rd to the 8th of December, free and easy in Japan. We won't be going to Tenshi no Sato because it costs a coupla hundred to take the Shinkansen there, and not to mention, once more travelling back. Instead, we're going to hang around Tokyo and Be Happy. Doujinshi! Superdollfie! 8 Storey Animate! <333

We're bringing nearly all of our boys - all of them, spare for Ruka. It makes me feel guilty, but Ruka means an extra bag [we've one MSD and one SD sized carriers], extra inconvenience, and he's going to sleep through the entire trip. T__T so I don't think we'll be bringing Ruka baby, he'll stay home and sleep to his heart's content. Along with all our Neopet plushies. ::plonks them down:: And our ponies. ::plonks them down:: ::racks brains for what else to make him unalone because she's on a guilt trip::

The problem with living in a tropical country and going over to somewhere with winter, is that you have to get coats and winterwear. The problem is, I have to make 'em for our four boys.

And believe me, I'm dying. I'm fat, depressed, and sewing nonstop every night. =__= Like Kadou, I don't like sewing at all, it's the end product I want/need.
I've been sewing MSD clothes, and it's like beginning to sew all over again, because MSDs are so much smaller. I've been screwing up and feeling even more depressed, but I've learnt a few lessons.
1. Don't line MSD coats with fur.
2. Don't line MSD coats with heavy material.
3. Just don't line MSD stuff if I want to make my life a heckload easier.

Sanada is the most covered up, he's like the little kid who's horribly adverse to cold. With the fur-lined coat, he indeed looks like one of those children - he looks like a ba zang [dumpling]. He also looks very scarily bling when he wears it. X3;;; Yanagi's coat looks like a graduation gown and I can't find my fraystop after I had to amputate a part of it's big, billowyness.

Oh well. Er, I think my armwarmers are cute?

So as thus, miserably, I have to make the SD13 sized stuff. Djinn designs all this really gorgeous but a pain to sew casual clothing, and I curse the fact that she designs little poofs and cuffs on turtlenecks! Other than that, I have to sew their winter coats. This will no doubt take away half my life. The other half will be taken by SD13 outfits for Dolpa if I have the time.

Sewing is loathful and bad. Just because I need to do it doesn't mean I have to like it. T_T

Anyway - so...::nod:: We'll take lots of photos at Dolpa for you all if we can. ::hugs all:: See you.

I am back! XD As if you all haven't noticed -

RE: the previous post on 'radical hair change' -

It was, Djinn's fault. She scripted nearly all of it and told me to post it as a test to see how convincing my wigs were. amphetamine42, caffeinecowgirl and rasenth seem to have proven it so, and I'm so sorry you guys have been a part of Djinn's crazy ideas and this bizarre experiment - thank you so much! XD The rest of you - thanks for your positive comments. XD I'm glad that my Yanagi wig has gone over so well, I love it and it's fun to wear. Even though this will disappoint all of you who think I look horribly cute with China doll hair, I'm sorry, I'm keeping my real Toshiya style, boy cut. XD Less hot.

Anyway, this is the post you've all been waiting for, the post, on Hong Kong. ^___^

( Come into the fray - we start with a giant Shopping Mall )

( On to the CTMA building with an SD/Ai shop. )

( The Search for Wigs in Woman's Street )

That was quite enough for a day and we went back to the hotel. To my delight there was a channel dedicated totally to the Euros [although the commentary was in Cantonese] and we watched two matches I can't remember much about. Other than one had something to do with Sweden and I watched it just to see puppy Anders Svensson. XDD Shallow shallow!

( the 2nd Day : Back to Woman's Street )

I'm in the airport using free internet. XD Technically I'm supposed to go in 3 minutes but I don't care.

We're going with that stupid man's girlfriend - I graciously said bring her idiot and he ran off with her in the lobby. He's abandoned us and is ruining our 'family' vacation before it even started. Screw!

I won't spend time typing any longer but thanks for missing me XD ::snug:: Tangled has been updated.

I, ::dramatic pause:: am going off to HongKong tomorrow.

You will all not mish me except for ivoryfox because she likes to ask me about selling her Sailormoon items. XDDDDDD

I really wanted to bring Lucas but since i didn't manage to borrow the carrier he shall be left at home. I really really wanted to bring him along even though he sleeps, and sleeps and will forever sleep [until I'm old and rich and can find an Lucas head with open eyes]. It seems like all his photostories are melancholy and sad because all he's really doing is waiting for Chris and it's rather futile to bring him around but I love him muchly. Sei and Tsuki, also could never go individually because I cannot bear to seperate them.
I would bring a suit of clothing for each day we were in HongKong, and he'd be my trendy, sweet little 14 year old Ruka.

On the other hand though, there are the spoils that I hope to get from HongKong -
Wigs - Edward Elric, young Yanagi, Sarutobi Sasuke
Vinyl Pants
Pocket Watch
and hopefully an FMA costume HAHAHAHA.

I was telling mainiefied yesterday that I probably will end up not bringing Tsukisou or anyone because I can't finish his costume, but after talking to Sharon of KareKano today and finding out about the millions [alright, three groups and about four or five Ed/Roy cosplayers] of FMA cosplayers, I knew I had to make the arm and I just knew that people - like say Shuui-san - will ask "Where's your Superdollfies?" and I'll be like Um. So - well, I'll rush the SD Roy costume, but no promises.

Went to Spotlight today and got my FMA cloth - I hate buying for humans, it's always such an awful lot. I figure if I actually manage to find an Ed coat in HK I'll get it and use the several meters of red canvas to make many SD Ed coats for sale/Alucard from Hellsing/Vash from Trigun costumes. Heh.

I also got my Ryoma clothes for the casual theme in the next PoT meeting but I look more like a basketballer. Dammit I'm not used to gaki-type clothing. I also found out I hate buying clothes when I waited quite a while to try a stupid sleeveless black top and after a long long while a woman walked out and dumped all her clothes back. What's the point of taking space and time, then? I hate women.

Also, progress on the PoT doujin is okay. I'm slowly weighting all my lines which make my art look a lot better than it really is, and my Yagyuu looks like a girl. I'm also shamelessly adding many eyelashes onto Yanagi's closed eyes but hey, that's me. >DDD I keep wanting to sleeep sleeeep but I cannot! ::sob::

So anyway, I'll be gone for quite a while. Until Monday, I think. Then that flood of costuming, SDs, and cosplay meetings will greet me. Also, homework. Yes. I can't get into IVLE so that's a handy excuse for not handing in my social studies homework.

Oh yes, something I wanted to talk about -

Rikkai Singles - Yanagi and Doubles 1
Yanagi's single is much better than before. Much. It doesn't remind me of Yanagi ONE BIT but it's a nice techno song [I like techno] and it is catchy and has the usual typical but very nice default techno music in it. Not. A thing of Yanagi though. XD;; It sounds more like an anime opening, or something that could be used for Getbackers...

D1 - well, yes it's way too happy and cheery and FRUITY. BUT! BUT! It reminds me SO MUCH of the songs in Good Fellowship, the Drama and Song disc of Franz Heinel and Jackie Guidelhian from Cyber Formula. SO MUCH LIKE IT.
I mean, Yagyuu's voice really sounds like Okiayu's in the beginning, the tune and 60's-ness is so similar, and Niou sounds like Jackie. XD Really freaky. But fun.

Superdollfies - Tangled's Update this week
It's been really busy but we'll try to update tonight if we can. We have a lot of things to do, but we have a few photostories in mind. I'm really really sorry if we don't update this week.

Jibun no michi ayumu michi haruka
My own road, walking road, far away

Well, tonight I go off to Japan.

Excuse me.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH BABY BABY BABY!!!

Right.

Because of a certain ijits conversation on MSN, somehow I've gotten into the idea of cosplaying from Angel Sanctuary AGAIN. -________- erk. Now I feel like cosplaying darling little Katan, the kiddy version because I will be notoriously known for cosplaying kiddy versions of white-haired guys [okay, so two: Muraki from YnM, and well..Katan!] Obviously not this year, but when I do there should be a Rosiel. Then it can be absolutely adorable [<3<3<3 RosielKatan!].

Amazing how many cosplays I shove to next year. I think Myoubi and Chii are shoved into next year too, mainly because I'd better use that white long wig that I have before my dad thinks that he shouldn't have bought it for me. X3

Then again maybe I should do Muraki next year. Hm. ::shoves him into next year, pushes Chii into next next year, thinks, gently picks up Katan and puts him in next next year::

Myoubi. ::push:: I'm thinking of cosplaying her night-gown thing, and walk around barefooted. Also hoping to make a pair of small snowy owl wings. And also to have a disemembered hand, in the spirit of Myoubism. XD

Muraki. ::shove:: Kiddy version. Want to make Veronica, his doll. Pointless to wear kiddy costume without doll.

Chii. ::push:: Special ears, not telling. One of her simpler stuff because I can't do the rest anyway. Focus on ears. Also going to have a fake birdie along.

Now, if only I could sew.

I'm planning to GET stuff in Japan. XD Like this:

Sounds strange, but I don't feel like growing up. In fact, I feel like staying at this height, really. Too used to manipulating it and using it.

Off to pack. Seeya suckers. XD
