First band practice~

So we had our first band practice for about an hour and...it actually went pretty well. Well, I was the only one who knew my part, but I was also the first one to have music and time to practice. XD

Anyway, the two guitarists didn't know their parts very well but in the end it actually began sounding like the song! Woot! I had to teach the main chords to our singer/guitarist really quickly, which made everything sound so much better with my bass and lead's high parts. Now hopefully we'll have another practice and we'll know our parts better.

And a drummer. Hopefully.

-sigh- Time for the papers I must write... ( T^T )

Slowly...

coming out of the post-con withdrawal and wearing my Lucky Star messenger bag to school made everything better. ( ^__^ )

Anyway, we have our first almost complete band practice tomorrow, sadly, still no drummer. The good news is my friend's friend is selling they're drum set so MAYBE we'll get something to play with for now. I should practice bass...but I have homework...

Stupid chemistry.

Classes are so...

oh you know, they're boring. Plus with the fact that I haven't slept much during that last four days doesn't help with a boring chemistry lecture coupled with soft chairs. So at the end of class, my friends informed me that I was nodding off during the entire thing even though I didn't even realize it. I guess you never really notice it until your head hits the desk or the teacher comes over and talks in your ear in a freaky voice.

Anyway, so I've decided to finish Shuuhei Hisagi and Halibel, along with fixing my white mage hammer so I can actually swing it around. I should upload some pictures later...after I steal them from Hinata.

Times of evil

So it's that time of year again...the day after the con. The time when post-con withdrawal hits hard enough to make you feel completely meh. And hungry.

Mmm...curry ramen...

So no school today, which is a bonus for us sleep deprived cosplayers, but it also means I'm all alone at home. Usually this would be seen as a bonus, but it's really boring and I suddenly want to sew and/or possibly go to mall and just hand out with some people.

Sadly, everyone was also at the con and half-dead right now or down with a nasty cold that I hopefully didn't catch, so unless I want to go bike to the mall, which is across town, I'm stuck here. I could bike to barnes and noble, but what could I possibly do there?

There's always the option of playing bass, but I don't want to lug my five ton bass amp back out and I'm too lazy to change out of my yukata. I wonder how hard it would be to play bass in it.

For now I'm stuck watching Disney Channel until some people decide they're too bored and get together somewhere. I should go obtain custody of my sewing machine and find my missing iPod though.

Post-con withdrawal...

Yo, got back from the con about an hour ago and I'm tired...Only had ten hours of sleep the entire weekend and my foot really hurts from all the walking. Plus, it really didn't help that my white mage hammer was huge and heavy. ( >.< )

I wonder why we never take more of me and the group doing stuff instead of just cosplayers around the con.

The random battles were amazing this year, even if they weren't hosted by the usual Cloud, but by a different, taller one, and a cool pirate queen. Me and the black mage were unofficial moderators. ( ^.^ )d

I should put up photos after I steal them from Hinata.

Oh yeah, on a side note, the guy who chatted with me and gave me that raffle ticket was cute. (-^.^-)

JAN KEN PON!

It's just early...

...and I'm tired. Yeah, yeah, go to bed earlier, blah blah blah, but I still have to finish cosplays and start on accesories and I'm pretty sure my brain is going to explode from all of it. ( x_x )

So five or six hours of sleep wasn't really enough and it's pouring rain, along with thunder and lightning, lovely weather for a con!

This year, we're stuffing five girls into one room with only one bed, hopefully if someone gets up in the middle of the night for the bathroom, they won't trample all over us on the cold, wet (just kidding), floor.

And I've just learned that even though electrical tape isn't as strong as duct tape, it still hurts when you pull it off your face, but for some reason, doesn't hurt small children. Do they have super skin? ( O.O )

Meh, part 2~

Well, it's 12:30 AM so I'll get half an hour more sleep than last night, but my cosplay isn't done yet...( =.= )

Plus, my back hurts because I'm sewing on the floor and leaning in an annoying position. Ow...

Maybe I can get it done tomorrow morning and then at the con if I have to.

Nite~

Meh.

Yay...it's the annual Pre-Con Panic time...

Finally lugged all my stuff to my friend's house so we can leave tomorrow morning from here...but my cosplay is only 1/3-1/2 done...so no sleep for me tonight...

Some of my sewing is off, but I don't really care...it all looks black anyway!

Yawn~

So...as you can see by the post time, it's almost 1 AM ~yawn~ ( =o= )" Been sewing for about six hours and most of it had lots of frustration and being stabbed by pins. Almost done...you'd think a kimono top with only five seams wouldn't take this long... ( O.O )

Hopefully I'll be able to get up for school in five hours. ( T^T )

Maybe I can get the collar sewn on in the next few minutes...

Nah, g'nite.

Just a quick break.

I got home today and was going to sew...but then didn't start until 6-ish...been working til now and wants a break~ I'm almost done with the black part of the kimono. d( ^.^ )b Good thing Shuuhei doesn't have outside sleeves.

Good news is we have our first band practice planned for next Saturday~ -sigh- but no drummer...still. At least we have the other parts. Hopefully I can sing back-up while playing bass. Singing with bass is a lot harder than guitar...I think it's the plucking part instead of strumming with a pick. Hm.

Maybe I should play in cosplay! ( ^o^ )

Con is in one and a half days! Arg~ I still need to reinforce my white mage hammer and finish my cosplay and...-faints- Ok, ok, back to sewing and ironing. Peace. ( ^.+ )v

Uh...

Well...I got the pattern that has been used a lot and for some reason couldn't see the back piece so decided to go to Joann's and bought a 99 cent pattern...then I found the back piece when I got home. I don't think this cosplay wants me to sew it.

Alright, so now I have everything, all ironed, all nice...but I really don't understand the instructions~

(Sets supplies on fire.)

Pain...

Ow...my thighs hurt!!! We're learning a dance for choir and I haven't stretched my legs for awhile so it doesn't help to suddenly crouch down and push my legs past their limit in a split-second. ( x_x ) Why, oh why did we have to have so many stairs in school?!

I really do need to get sewing...finally got custody of my fabric from my friend so I could start now...but I'm too lazy~ Plus, Pre-con panic is starting to set in.

...I'm not getting distracted right now! ( >.< )

Rawr, I'm getting so pissed off with my parents! Apparently it's the rudest thing on Earth for your younger sibling to stay at your friend's house and for them to take him home...it's just a frikin' block! Geez!

(Deep breath) Ok, that's a little better... ( >.> )

Gross Day~

Ew, so it's monday...and it's snowing in spring! Well, it stopped, but then it changed to rain, and then back, and then the cycle repeats. Lovely. I should totally try and make another omuraisu tonight, through I'm not sure how well that'll work out for me ( >.< ) I have remember not to drown it in ketchup this time. ( + o + )

I really need to start on that cosplay but there's the internet, instruments, tv...and the fact that I'm on here writing means I'm not sewing~ I wonder if it's even possible to sew a kimono top and accessories in four days...( T^T )

On a random side note: I kinda want to watch the Hannah Montana movie -dodges bullets- I mean, people don't like Hannah Montana, but the show is actually pretty decent if you watch it and ignore the songs she's been singing for three years...

Alright, so I should go finish some homework...( = . = ) and then maybe I'll do my cosplay...

Though I probably won't.

Blegh.

Back from the recital...all the songs were long~ and there was this one little boy who kept forgetting his notes and repeated the same line over and over...I felt kinda bad for him ( >.< ) I still need to finish papers and just had dinner where I attempted to make Omuraisu, not the best thing to look at but it tasted good ( ^.^ )b Maybe a little more ketchup and less rice next time...and not break the egg...

Here's the awesome Omuraisu Recipe

So I improved the blog, looks better now and is better than the harbor theme I had before, the only decent looking theme on this site... Too bad I couldn't find a bass guitar theme. -sigh- I need to get to work and get papers done~

For the band situation, starting off with Rolling Star, and I think we can survive without a drummer...for now...if we blast the original song loud enough to hear the beat XD and then maybe go onto Tsubomi by MARIA.

I love that band to bits! Can't believe I've listened to that song almost 300 times just on my iTunes...who knows how many times I listen to it on my iPod...unless that transfers over to the iTunes...ANYWAY, to homework I go~

First post~

Well, not the most exciting first post, eh? It's Sunday, so people have Church, which makes me kinda bored...being forced to go to little brother's piano recital in 'bout an hour, not really all that fun. Maybe I can sneak my iPod ( > o < )

I'm a little stressed because I have to start on my cosplay for the con next Friday...and my fabric has been lost somewhere...

Plus, I can't really find a drummer in school for some reason. You'd think more people would play drums compared to bass, but 50% of the school plays guitar, maybe 2% plays bass, 1% plays drums...like 70% sing...ugh. Hopefully a drummer will show up soon. What's weird is the fact that I had a drummer, but he didn't have a set so now he's my guitarist...weird.
