328 posts final update: 08.27.04 I will no longer be updating my Blurty account. I feel pretty weird about this; I've been writing in this thing for over a year now. I think I'm almost going to miss it. You can find me at livejournal, where I'll be doing my personal blogging, and greatestjournal for all RP purposes. So, not much else to say, except... ...sayonara. |

So, life's been pretty boring. Which is why I haven't updated since last week. Ah, well. Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley steered clear of Georgia for the most part, although Bonnie left my street flooded with KNEE-DEEP sewage water that I had to wade through to get inside my house. Ew. Ew. EW. My legs might never feel clean again. I started some work on  fandom_crusadesI'm trying to make a nice place for Jrock fans, somewhere with no elitism, drama, flame wars, and all that nasty stuff. Yeah, I know I'm dreaming. But I want to try! I'm really excited about it, actually. All of you on my friend's list that haven't joined yet should go do so now. >< Sin's coming down this week! *happy-happy!* I'm really looking forward to it! We're gonna have fun. Rock out. xD I've been burning some of my CDs back on to my computer. Fururu, I've missed you so. ;_; Oh, speaking of Fururu, I have a new icon. It's Ryutarou, of Plastic Tree (and the namesake of this journal). I got tired of having to see Jiro's face everytime I logged in. ; p Nothing much else to say, I suppose. Oh, oh! Except this:  withinity( Full Moon wo Sagashite cosplay... ) I'll have more Otakon pictures up soon. ^_^ |

He's one of the very few artists I can listen to in Mandarin. o_< As a general rule, I can't stand to listen to that language sung (no offense to anyone!!). But he's got a nice voice, and the music is...fun. Anyways. ( warning: almost-angst ahead. ) Sorry for ranting. I'm not making much sense. ^_^; I'm just a little upset, maybe, and a little tired. I think I'm going to have a long shower and a cup of chammomile tea. |

Gas and food: $100. Two nights at the Sheraton Imperial Inner Harbor Hotel: $600. Otakon 2004? PRICELESS. Otakon seriously rocked Baltimore this year, in a way I have never seen before. Let's put it this way: I am damn proud to be part of the Otaku Generation! I'll admit things started off a little shaky Thursday: I woke up feeling sick as a dog (which I dealt with most of the weekend...), miscommunication led to me missing my hair appointment, and some last minute change in plans led me to a not-fun panic attack. But, we made it to Virginia all right, and crashed for about two hours of sleep before heading out to Baltimore at the ungodly hour of 5AM. The ride up was mostly uneventful...until we reached Washington, D.C., that is. I missed an exit and wound up driving THROUGH our nation's capital instead of around it. I never, ever want to do that again. *shudders* However, my excellent directional skillz got us back on track without losing too much time (in other words, I drove straight and prayed I was going the right way), and we got to Baltimore at about noon. Picked up our registration, checked into the hotel, changed into our costumes and hit the con! Kappa and I were Meroko and Izumi from Full Moon wo Sagashite. Muffin and I had stayed up a few nights to get my costume done, but it was so fun to wear! I got recognised a lot, and Kappa and I took some really great pictures. Friday was mostly spent wandering the con, and being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of otaku that were roaming the streets of Baltimore. Muffin, Kappa, and I crashed early; I have no idea when Sean and Oren got back from the rave, but they were quiet when they did, so that's okay. ^_^; I have learned, also, that the floors of Sheraton Imperial hotels are NOT comfortable places to sleep. My body still aches from that; Muffin and Kappa pushed me out of the bed Friday night and rather than disturb them I figured I could tough it out on the floor. I should have learned my lesson from Animazement. o_< Ow. Ow. Ow. At any rate, I was up and at 'em Saturday morning; wore Izumi's costume again for a Full Moon photoshoot (that was actually extremely disappointing, and I didn't take any pictures of it), hit artist's alley and picked up a gryphon picture I'd been wanting since Nekocon of last year, and debated over Harry Potter scarves. I'm still not sure which to get: I love Gryffindor, but prefer Ravenclaw and Slytherin's colours though I can't stand those two houses, and I think I'm actually a Hufflepuff (great, I'm a "good natured stupid person." -_-). Gah. I can't decide. I think Muffin was about to strangle me with one of those scarves, too, because of it. ^_^;; Gomen!! Changed into a goth-y outfit for the live, and met up with Gackt's official US fanclub (o_o wtf?) to line up for the l'arc live!! ( Ready...Steady...L'ARC! ) After the live, we kind of just hung out Saturday. I wanted to sing at karaoke, but didn't get a chance to. We wanted to see Zatoichi too, and actually wound up in line with the same guy we stood in line with at the TMR concert last year. Unfortunately, they closed the doors before we could get in, so I'll have to wait until it comes out in theaters to see it. ><; Sunday we didn't do too much: Hero had a line at least as long as Zatoichi, so we hung out at the Tofu Records panel and the Dealer's Room for a while instead. I stood in the LONGEST line I have ever seen for food at a Burger King across the street to get food for a sick Kappa. Finally, we said "bye-bye Baltimore" at about 2:30PM and headed out on the longest trip hom I have ever driven. What should have taken about 6 hours took eleven and a half, thanks to traffic on I-95 and a HELLACIOUS rainstorm on 360. We did meet some con-attendees at a Wendy's in Manassas (we made fun of that city's name for hours...), and they turned out to actually be from Virginia Beach! So we'll see them at Nekocon (which I am SO looking forward to). ^_^ Made it to Danville at about 2AM, then left for Georgia at about 2PM that day. Stopped several times, including the Greek restaraunt near Animazement's Sheraton Imperial, and South of the Border. o_o I went back to work today, and I swear I've been in some kind of daze! Maybe it's all the driving I did over the past few days, but coming down from something like that...takes some getting used to, yeah? At any rate, Otakon is quickly becoming one of my favorite conventions. I can't wait until next year! And yes, there WILL be pictures posted soon. : p Withinity is letting me use some of her webspace, for which she had me ETERNAL gratitude and a promise that I will get off my lazy butt and actually put some pictures up for you people to see. ^_^; So I will. But, not tonight. : p |

My GOD, that is the cuteness thing I have seen in a long time. xD GLAY at the beach is so adorable. Squee. Yesterday I worked a freakin' 11-hour shift. =_=;; Tireeeeeed.... At least I had today off! Went to the other mall and bought some things, including THREE Final Fantasy games. I picked up IX, Tactics, and, my favorite RPG of all time, VII, for like, $30. I've been playing Xenosaga recently, which is actually quite an enjoyable game, even though it's more movie than playtime. ^^ I think Millie from Trigun's English VA is voicing the main character. o_o Which I don't mind; the voices on the game are decent, especially in comparison to FFX (which I've also been playing). Heh. I feel like a g4m3r ch1ckz0r, or something like that. Also, I heard a clip of Hikki's American release single. It's called "Easy Breezy," and I think I want to cry. Happy Thought: Otakon is SIX DAYS AND COUNTING! *jams to l'arc music* |

o_< Not much to say today, really: since yesterday I've been in a bit of a daze. I haven't felt too great, really, and I'm afraid I might be getting a cold. Either that or my allergies are attacking. It's not good either way. Strange situation at work: so I go into Creations at 10AM, planning to work until 3PM and then go to GAP at 5:30PM and work until closing. I get a call from GAP around 1PM, telling me they have to cut my hours and not to come in for my shift today. @_@~! Ack! I don't want my hours cut! But, as it turns out, my replacement at Creations couldn't get there until 6PM, which really turned into 7PM. So, I guess it turned out alright in the end anyway? Right before I got off work I wound up talking to a couple from Santa Fe for about half an hour. They were really nice, and fun to talk to. We talked about everything from SCAD to the murder rate in Santa Fe. o_o I met a nice older woman today, too, who was buying a blown glass unicorn for her newborn granddaughter, because her recently deceased sister always bought presents for the children in her family. It was really sad. ;_; Yes, sometimes my job is pretty interesting. Most of the time it's very boring though. Yesterday I bought a PS2. >_> Mama made me do it. I haven't even gotten it out of the box yet, but I'm already craving FF XI. *_* Anyone know how good that game is? And if it's worth the $13 a month? I had a grapefruit for breakfast this morning. I'd forgotten how tasty they are. |

w007!! *commences rejoicing* Yes, my darling PowerBook is up and running again. Apparently my hard drive was corrupted, and a partition fixed the problem. I'm missing a few gigs of space, but my compy's working so I don't really care. I re-named my hard drive "Macaroon." xD I'm kinda worried about being able to afford Otakon. :x But, I think it will work out. l'arc Power will get me there! It's good to be back home, here in Savannah. I missed my little apartment a great deal. My little...messy apartment. >_> *runs off to clean* |

Yep. Real fun at the chiropactic office. Just finished watching Jurassic Park 3. I'd forgotten how creepy that movie is. o_O; Nowhere near the intensity of the first movie, of course, but I was still jumping out of my seat at parts. ^^; Going home tomorrow, yay! =D I need to pack some stuff. >_> I went over to my grandparent's house for a little while, and Mama took me to the mall here (how exciting *sarcasm*). I got to talk to Manager for a little while though, which is good, since I never got to say good-bye to him. I also ran into a guy I went to high school with! He was working at J.C. Penny. It was good to see him: he was always a really nice guy. Stephen did some...tests on me today. Apparently I'm imbalanced in a not-good way, but at least it's fixable. Unfortunately, it means I have to exercise and eat better! Ah! Who wants to do that? XP (Yes, I'm just kidding.) It might explain my depression though, which is a good thing! Anyway, now I have a handful of supplements and vitamins to take every day, so it should be tons of fun. >_> Meh. My computer is STILL not working (it seems it gets worse every time I fiddle with it...), but maybe Monday I can talk to someone at Apple and get it fixed. Here's hoping. |

... Um. Yeah. So I'm sitting in my old room, typing on my old computer, when I should be at my apartment, on my PowerBook, after just getting home from work. *points at the post below* Six inches. At any rate, Muffin's mom had gall bladder surgery yesterday and I went with Muffin up here to be with her. The surgery wound up a little more complicated than was expected, but she's going to be alright. Poor Muffin wound up with a cold on the way up here, so now she's down sick. @_@; I'm getting that girl a plastic bubble, I swear. I'm a little worried about things like...keeping my job(s), my landlady not poisoning my cat while we're gone, being able to afford Otakon, being able to afford rent next month, keeping myself from having a nervous breakdown...just little things like that. Still though, I'm sure things are going to work out fine. Optimism, right? |

I managed to get past the OS loading, but since I know next to nothing about computers all those prompts and commands are lost on me. @_@ It says something's wrong though, so I think that's bad. Er. Yeah. *weeps for all the files that are more than likely to be lost in all this mess* So I started out this week planning on working three hours Monday morning, and having the rest of the week off. By the end of this week, I will have worked each day for a total of 20 hours. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but it was a little odd to keep getting called in for the next day. ^^; But all this money is going towards my "l'arc or BUST!" fund, so all is good. Except for waking up at 7AM. I could live without that. -_-; By the by, if you haven't read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil yet, go do it now. Especially if you have been, or ever plan to visit, Savannah. On a completely different note, I'm working on some top-secret plans now. It should be...interesting. *goes off to plot* |

Now, why am I at the library typing this, instead of in my cozy little apartment? Because my computer is dead. Long live Macintosh. I don't know how, I don't know why, but both Muffin's and my computers are out of order, indefinetly since I have no money. At least I'm broke for a good reason: l'arc~en~ciel is playing at Otakon this year! Of course, I've guessed as much for a while now, but still. My (second) favorite band, in America, on the EAST COAST no less? Wow. Now I just have to come up with a way to actually afford to go. It's raining outside. And here's me, without an umbrella. |

Of course, we all knew that already anyway, nee? I bought a bowl-full at the Asian Festival on Saturday. That was much fun: I ate lots of good food, and found a neat ring from Nepal. I've been a little busy running around doing nothing recently. Looks like I'm not going to Dragon*Con. But... I really want to go to Otakon. Really. Really. Badly. Maybe I'll go anyway...somehow...someway... |

Started by going to the beach with Muffin and Kappa (much to my protest, since all I wanted to do was sleep in). As it turns out, it was a really great day to go: the weather was nice, the water was perfect, and we saw dolphins! Two that came right up to shore, leaping out of the water and all. They were gorgeous. After that, we went back home to get ready for the Train concert. I bought a HOT PINK mini-skirt, a sleeveless shirt-thing, and some fishnet hose the other day at Hot Topic that I wore, and Kappa helped me get gothed-up by doing my hair and spraying hot pink streaks in it. o_O Mama nearly had a heart attack when I told her what I looked like. xD;;; So the concert was at an Army base about an hour from here, so we drove on out (got lots of stares and interesting comments along the way) and arrived about an hour before the show. The opening act went on (Graham Colten Band? I'd actually heard them before), and was actually really good. About an hour later, it was time for... TRAIN. My GOD, that was awesome. BEYOND awesome. They ROCKED. OUT. The vocalist was really great: he had an amazing voice. The performed some really great songs, and there was a lot of energy in the live...it was just a really, really, really great concert. I'd go see them again in a heartbeat. And they played "Drops of Jupiter," which has been me and Muffin's song for about three years now. We squealed and bounced around like fangirls after it was over. They played a song (that the vocalist said was "really, really awesome xD) from the new Spiderman movie...and yes, it WAS "really, really awesome." *_* Wah. We got lost on the way home. o_O But we made it back alive, and all was well. Today Muffin had work (and the poor thing had to suffer the indignity of HOT PANTS ;_; ), and Kappa and I had Korean food. Random Cool Thing: I'm downloading Seargant Frog anime. R0CKZRS. |

I knew the brake pads on my car needed replacing, but really, $770 worth of work? I don't think so. So my car is out of commission for a week or so until my grandfather can get down here to look at it. x_x Jeez. Until then, I'm driving Muffin's big old truck around. o_o Have I mentioned how much I hate big vehicles? Oh, anyone coming to Nekocon? Muffin and I are running the Jrock panel again. Hopefully it will go over as well as our Gothic Lolita panel did last year. Randomness:  be sorted @ nimbo.net Hufflepuff?! Now that's a surprise. o_o |

Ah, Georgia. Gotta love living on a flat slab of land. I hadn't really thought about flooding when we moved into this apartment, but apparently it's a pretty bad problem. Great. x_x And my car's wet now, and the brakes don't like that. So I narrowly avoided a wreck earlier. Aiya... Anyway, as long as I stay inside where it's nice and dry, I'll be alright. Having a second floor apartment r0ckz0rs. Kappa got here Saturday evening, and she's here until July-something. Should be a fun and interesting month. o_o |
