...Yes, I AM still watching it, even though I don't fangirl about it... After all, my total love of the series went out with a bang (when Deidara died and the series became focused on Saucegay).
Oh, well... kinda wanna see how Killerbee is portrayed in the anime so that'll be the next section I watch... and then the Kage meeting (Gaara is baaaaacckkkk...... :3 i love gaara still)
I was SOOOO excited to find it.. :D I can't wait to have everything put together...
To say the least, I feel REAALLY wierd wearing it not only because it's black (and my hair is blond) but because it's SHORT, lol.. xD ... It's a comphy wig tho. Worth the money... :)

I got all my fabric I need. I FINALLY found white faux fur~! xD ... now I can fix the cape and do the crown... :D
The crown and the scepter are what I'm working on first.. and THEN the outfit itself since it will take a great deal of time....
The scepter's top is COMPLETED for my sake of cosply.. I will do no more work on it; i do not wish to mess it up...
This is what it looks like competed (image brightened for sake of detail)..:
Compared to the artbook, I think I did a good job replicating the thing... :).. Lol, i made the crown part on the ball while I watched Unico at 2am so I am calling it well done especially after I had to fix it's height.
LoL, well, I love it to death and think itz prettyyyy.. 3
Now...the HARD part (not props).... The DRESS and CROWN... D: ... the cape is easy now that I have fake fur and (cheat) a small blanket. :P
I'll keep everything updated... :)
- Mood: amused
Anyways, guess what? I 've decided on a cosplay that I want to work on. Early for next year, I know... but I want to make it... See, this year at the con I FINALLY bought the Tokyo Babylon artbook... and guess what? I decided to FINALLY make a cosplay of a CLAMP character. Of course, Tokyo Babylon has my fav CLAMP character in it (Seishiro) but I am NOT dressing up as my FAV of FAVS. Nope, I'm not even dressing like a man this time; I actually plan on making one of Hokuto's outfits from the artbook. I've already started work on it, 'cause I'm a craft-loving person...and the dress alone will take up a great deal of time...(and a LOT, aka 30yards) of PINK fabric. I've arleady been gathering stuff for the outfit for a month yet and plan to buy the fabric Wednesday from Hobby Lobby (found the perfect shade of pink).
...Now the only trick of the outfit is making the extra stuff... The outfit (picture below) has a crown, a cape, and a scepter. I've just finished making the top part of the scepter of of air-dry clay-like stuff ontop of a styrofoam ball..(lol)... and made the pointed garnishments for the crown out of the same stuff (it's light so its really useful...
...Well, I wouldn't say it's "tricky" to make the things, only the fact that I can't find something I need in a store (may have to order it or "cheat". I need white faux fur fabric... I've looked at the stores that are close... haven't checked Hobby Lobby yet but will. I need about 2 yards of the stuff for the cape's trim and the crown's trim... I wanted to get the same stuff so it would match other than me having to mark on the cape's edging....
...I kinda cheated for the cape. Considering the velvet I wanted to use for the crown cost $13/yrd. I decided against using the same material for the cape, so ^^ I bought a fleece blanket of the same color, lol...
...Gonna find a table leg or something for the scepter... I have the smaller pieces for it... ^^
I can't find any orange and yellow striped fabric either (didn't expect too, rlly)..so I'm gonna have the fun of sewing yellow and orange ribbons together... O.O
Making the dress will be a fun challenge and hopefully wont take me hours to figure out (as Jade's 6-hour sewing time collar did...).
CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGERWell, to say the least, I'm at least gonna have fun FINALLY being a CLAMP character.. Now i just need the wig..........
I'll update along the way.. ^^

Does it LOOK like it should have taken that long? Me thinkx not... :P but there it is... in all it's blue w/ white stripped glory~ 95% accurate to the actual f'ing thing; the color is probably the only thing that is off from being correct.... and it's LINED with another shade of blue... and 4 inner lines that stripe the sides are only attached to the outer layer... :x ...and I had already attached the peieces (from and back) of the colar together before I remembered that... :x ... Gawd... that was a long process....It's already attached to the rest of the jacket (which also took about 5 hours to make)... which makes the total work time of Jade's jacket come to abour 10 hours over a period of 3 weeks...
I shouldn't have been worried about the prop meh other cosplay (Grell's chainsaw) and finished this........ but I never expected it to take THAT long.... I think my Akatsuki cloak from 2 years ago only took about 3 hours to make TOTAL (and that included the gay little clouds and everything)..
Anyway! I'm almost done with the whole Jade cosply... i just gotta figure out about the gold section one around the foot of the boot; gloves are done already.. (I bought some and just added teh gold stripe...it was easier)...
As for Grell's (from Kuroshitsuji) cosplay outfit... I just gotta tack the black ribbon on the back to where i doesnt hang (I bought a red coat that is PERFECT)... and make the black arm bands for meh upper arm...
^^ AWA is only a month away, and I'm happeh (abiet poor)... :P If u r a Naruto fan, plz buy some of my doujin from the previous post to support meh buying newer and kewler anime stuff at AWA...

I posted a new story on FictionPress.com called "DEVOUR: the Darkenss Anthologies" (read it HERE). Just started righting the thing the other day and now I've made it into an anthology (not intended) It coudl be an infinitd story but I'll have to stop it sooner or later (or just call it complete one day).. ^^ Right now I'm working on it when I hit blocks in any major stories~
~but short stories are good, too~.... chk it out and tell me what you think if you have the time.

Anyway~ as I stated before I have two planned cosplay for Anime Weekend Atlanta this year~
1: Jade Curtis... I've been wanting to make his costume and coplay for a couple of years now (love him; he's my favorite Tales Series mage of all time...and the only mage I ever used in teh coloseum battles solo and won. :P)
...Anyway... I got all the underclothes--a navy blue collared shirt and navy pants done~ (that was the easy part)... I've got the verly complicated main part of his jacket completed, all that I have left is that annoying collar. (it's a pain, I assure you... :P)... I purchased a pair of boots that work quite well; I just have to make a slip of gold to cover the sections that need have gold upon them (that'll be easy). I also order gloves (will have them Friday) which I will also need to put gold upon. ;3
...I have red contacts... :3 ...they are fun~ hehe~~~~ and some old sunglasses that have no lenses to use (haha, I've had these for 9 years w/o lenses...lmao...finally have a use for them)
...And, even though I didn't plan on it, I'm going to have a spear that matches his first spear.. :) ...Meh Mom is helping me make it (she's the one who decided we should make it, heh).
I'll post pictures of me in finish when it's completed. :) *squee* I can't wait~~!!!!!
2: Grell Sutcliff ...His was...kinda spur of the moment this year (not like last years' "3 weeks and I wnt to be Viral from Gurren Lagann", but still, I just randomly decided "YES< I WILL BE HIM>>> XXXDDD").... At least his costume is 'purchase made'...
...Yup, I went to a bargain thrift store and bought a pair of pants and a white shir for $5 and that makes his normal clothes... bought a red coat for $50 and a black ribbon for $3... some ribbon for his necktie (idk how much that was)... and threw those togher... and we get the clothes... I have some dress shoes I can wear already...
...As for his glasses, I got a free pair of black framed (pink-lensed) glasses and spray painted them RED, :) ... and bought some beads and beading string...and some skull earings and pulled them all together and there you have it, his glassess~
...Throw in the (awesome) wig I bought on eBay for $50 and you've got Grell, right~?
...Well, I've been working on his weapon, too... With meh Mom and Dad's help, I have a (reallly awesome) chainsaw...
If you want to see how it's going, check it out HERE on Photobucket
That's all I have to update right now, I believe. :3 Coplaying is so very much fun~ **stares at evil blue fabric that is needed to make Jade's stupid collar**... only making it can be irritating.... :P

- Music:Ni Goyougin (Knights of Ramune OP theme)
...If only I had a shot of him~ lol~ think I did a pretty good job at making my little character look like Grell from Kuroshitsuji: red glasses, red coat, hands painted black to look like gloves, black shoes, and red hair.... if only I had teeth to match his and a chainsaw. :P ...^^...
ANYWAY, LBP is a cool game to play; it's interesting to play the user-created levels as well. I'm trying to make a level, but it looks kinda silly right now... I have to find a vehicle for the level so that I can get from one point to the exit... withouth crashing....like it does now (lol)...
Well, anyway, if i can get a screenshot of my little sack!Grell, I'll post it online.....
OH! Speaking of Grell, I got my wig for my cosplay of Grell for AWA.... ^^ All I have left to do is make the red coat he wears..... I'm excited!!!! I can't wait~!!! <3

So, what am I working on at home? Well, considering I'm going to AWA (Anime Weekend Atlanta) again this year, I'm working on cosplay. Nope, I don't really have any plans to be Deidara this year...though I haven't officially decided... Still love the Akatsuki even though the Naruto series SUCKS now.
So, who do I plan to be? Hn..well, I konw that I AM going to be Jade Curtis from 'Tales of the Aybss"...finally making the costume. Jade is my favorite Tales series magic caster, after all, he can kick ass without his magic (i did so in the coloseum battles xD)... I'm going to be making a spear to match his that is in the anime (as well as that in the op sequence in the game). ^^ ...but thatz not all~
I also recently found a lovely (and rather gay anime) called Kuroshitsuji (trans: Black Butler). ^^ It was an awesome anime~ I loved it.. I plan to cosplay as a character from that anime AND make a prop of his weapon. So, who do I plan to be? Why, I plan to be the gayest character in the series: Grell Sutcliff... and I get to make his chainsaw... :P Luckily, his outfit is kinda normal...and won't take too long to complete. I can't wait~~!
^^ IDK if I'm going to be any other characters... I'm buying a friend of mine's purchased Akatsuki cloak (i'm retiring my handmade one...it has a few isues called the buttons came loose and I'm too busy with the new outfits to fix the thing.) :P
Still, my only true plans are: Jade (from TotA) and Grell (from Kuroshitsuji)... the others will be determined. ^^
- Music:(watching) CSI Miami
Anyway, I pretty much haven't had time to do anything; or have DONE anything. I've also dropped out of Naruto fandom (along with many other people). I still miss Deidara; funny how I have gotten into the gayly voiced Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 4 with English voices just becasue of Deidara... xD ....honestly, Dei's voice is...okay. Sass-ori's voice (omg, it was missprounouced and Deidara doesn't say "danna" or master D:) sounds like someone has larigitis (lol).
I read the manga still... Notihing really earth-shattering there... I loved chapter440 though. :) And I'm actually liking the whole Naruto vs. Pein thing for some reason.
...the anime..I haven't really watched it since the filllers came on....though I did come accross the begining of episode 99 of Shippuden. xD XD!!!! Deidara, I love you! Tobi, you evil bastard, you!!! That's my favorite filler scene EVER!
...Honestly as for the filler's plot.. I hope the new kid gets the beast sealed inside him or something so that the Akatsuki could kill him.....
Damn, I have to go to work now...... D:
WOOHOO!!!!! ENVY IS BACK!!!!! <3 *excited Envy-fangirl* Hurray for the stupid litlte girl's stupidity, my favorite freak is back to himself again (chp91)!!!!!!!!! :) That's all I have to say today~~<3
- Mood: amused
Well, this time it was becasue I have a new job. :D Yup, I have another job, but I still have my other one. In other words, that means I work 2 jobs. My only true day off is Sunday...Friday i a REALLY long day....'cause I just work at my older job on Friday and Saturday. >.> That can change whenever I want it to, so it isn't that big of a deal. I do it for the money. :D ...after all, I want to get me a new car next year...not sure what I want, tho...
As for my ususual anime/manga rantings that go upon this journal...I can simply say THIS about any sections of the Naruto series: I HATE FILLERz! Damn anime... I just wanted to see to Suigetsu's introduction and then stop, anyway, but....Damn....fillers again??? I miss Kakuzu and Hidan already (I have simply doujinshi to rely on now. D:...). As for the manga...I'm beginning to HATE Pein in a way that I do but I don't... blah...anywayz....
...I guess Naruto series upset me enough to the point that i really just wish it would hurry up and get to the end so I know what happens in the long run. I don't really care what happens anymore... I haven't done so since Deidara died. :(
I bought me a Fullmetal Alchemist 2009 Calendar in that regard. 2007-2008 both were Naruto. Now that my obession with Naruto is over, I can fall back to other fandom or go to new....
Right now, my obsession has gone BACK to Final Fantasy series... This is thanks to Final Fantasy Dissidia. (I hate Cefka.....SO BADDDED!). I want to play all the Final Fantasy games...especially the ones I haven't beaten (I, II, III, IV, V, and VIII). My comuter is playing FF music right now (LOL!!!! evil computer...). LoL, ANYWAY!!! I love Dissidia, I want it in English so I understand what is going on with some of the scenes. Yes, I know Tidus is a whiney brat, Jeckt! Yes, Kefka, i know you're a freak... Kuja, why the hell do you rant about Zidane so DAMN MUCH! ...do that much often and I'll call you gay..and WHERE THE HELL DO YOU HIDE THAT TAIL!!!!!!!!!! (sorry, couldn't help but rant about that...again in my life...it's always perplezed me....hehe).
...I haven't figured the entire game out, but it is fun... I play it for the cameo aspect of all the characters..not for the game itself (lol). :D (BTW, Ultimacia went down in like 3 attacks...didn't touch me...I don't like FFVIII. FFVI is my fave...to bad Kefka is in it. D<
BTW, I decided to go back to playign FF6, and I have to hunt my saves, 'cause I don't want to play through ALL of it again...just pick up from what I last recalled. (I love my MOG).
Well, that's all~
Oh, and BTW, Merry Christmas~~~~<3

Bah, go figure... I've been BUSY doing one thing or another. I've been AROUND on the net, but not HERE. **shrugg** Oh well... Maybe the reason I dropped out of the weekly rant is because I've lost my total interest in Naruto (since that is what I used to rant about all the time). I still READ Naruto, but now I just don't care what happens. I'm still spaztic about the anime having Hidan and Kakuzu, but once that arc is over there is no telling if I'll watch it through to the end (weekly anyway).
Well, I was busy with orginal stuff for a while therem but once I bought myself and xBox360 and "Tales of Vesperia" I focused on that game for a WHILE. The game is pretty good, btw. :) Not the best of the series (Yeah! for ToDestiny!!!<3), but ToVesperia was a good play. Agreed to most people arguing about the game, the ending was kinda stale and the healer's AI sucked but I LOVE the cast of characters.... even though they are all ripoffs of previous Tales characters.... I guess the obvious one is Flynn who is Guy's (from TotAbyss) carbon copy (minus the phobia, of course...). Yuri has a personality far too close to Jade, though Jade is far more sadistic. Rita is like Refil/Raine (from ToSymphonia). Estell is like "Bubbles". Raven is like Zelos... And lets not forget that Karol looks like Llyod; personlity wise I just can't place him right now... I could go on but I don't want to rant forever. :) Good game, though, play it! LoL, I'll always love ToDestiny (the original version) and TotAbyss better (I love Jade; fav magic caster of ALL TIME. :3)
Speaking of TotAbyss, I started playing my replay again. Second playthrough is easier than the first, even though I still goof about in the game. I love the game probably becasue it has my favorite collective group (connected through backstory) of characters (the Keterburg 4: Jade, Saphir, Peony, and Nephry). I guess being a Jade fangirl is part of it, too. Heh... It's amusing that in the collesium during this second playthrough, I have yet to beat the single advanced battle with Guy (he's only level 50 or so), but I HAVE beat it with Jade. It's bad when you can beat a set of battles with a magic caster and not a physical character (I beat it with Luke thanks to those ad skills). THe funny thing is that I didn'd really use much magic in the battle set, so, yeah, Jade beat 80% of the monsters with physical attacks. :) I love Jade.
...Yes, I AM watching the anime series they are releasing for this. :)
Oh, well, enough of that.... I guess I need to stop ranting of now, I want to get something done with my original crap before I have to be at work at 2. Oh, I have 2 jobs right now, btw. One is a full-time Temp job, though... I wish it'd become perminant. My other job (the job I've had), I'm going in part time.
Well, lunch is done~ (STEAK!!!! *drooll*), so I'm off to eat first before I do anything else. :) Mabye I"ll try to keep up with this journal again, lol... We'll see. :)

:D ...I watched 'Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann' and LOVED IT~! (more so on episdoe 20, lol; will explain later). I never thought I'd like that show having seen the 1st episode when it first aired in Japan (via download, of course), but I randomly got bored and found the show on SciFi channel. It was episode 5 and 6 I saw there. Of course I was giggling like mad through most of ep 6 (whole nakey bath thing, lmao).
...The AMUSING thing was, about the show, is that the character I knew the most about was Viral (I always know about the wierdos first, lol). Never did i really expect to become massively obsessed with him after watching the show. I just thought the guy shark-catboy needed a hug. Of COURSE he was a villian at the beginning; its rare for my fav male characters NOT to be villians...though, actually, I don't really hate anyone in the show (one pushed his luck tho D<).... (I cried in episode 8, btw..not expected).
STILL, Viral = fave~!<3 Thus, episode 20 was my favorite episode. Seeing Viral half-naked was AWESOME (too bad the towel didn't fall off). (I liek his teeth~ :d) ...and my inner yaoi-fangirl snerked throuh the ENTIRE SCENE! lol prison showers~!
...I wish I could cosplay as Viral, but I won't even try if I can't get contacts to make my eyes like his. I like cat-eyes anyway~ xD ...I need an eye exam anyway.. I think my right eye's perscription changed. Dx
Oh, well, TTGL was awesome~ and I'll continue watchign the dub on SciFi at least up until ep20. I'll have to put buying the dvds on a todo list (along with several other things).
In conclusion~ I love Viral~!<3
.....
On to other things(Naruto)~ Hidan and Kakuzu (whose name I FINALLY know how to pronounce, though I still mispronouce it~) are in Naruto Shippuuden. Lol, I love them as a pair and am glad their arc has come~! XD my innner yaoi-fangirl is screaming~! but that's okay~ :D 'cause I just about have all the Kakuhida yaoi that I can afford at the moment.
...I needz Hidan plushy now~<3
Oh well, that's my rant (for NOW!~) I'm sleepy... off to bed~
Well, another one of the series I obsess over ends. Well, I don't think I've gone CRAZY over it here, but it still is one of the awesomeneeses of Television.
'Avatar: the Last Airbender'... that's the show I'm talking about. It earned its "THE END", and I got to watch it on TV. :D ... that's like the 2nd episode watched on the TV, really. (Okay so this was 4 episodes run together, but still).
Oh, well, so it's over. :D
I'll just have to wait for the movies to come out.. And I'll still have to buy season 3's boxset.
,...and so... THEY ALL LIVE HAPPILEH EVAH AFTAH!!!! (excpet Azula and Ozai, teeheee).
(End Avatar:TLAB) rant)> :D ...btw, If you nevah watched it, watch it, itz good.. especially seasons 2 and 3. :D
