YAY CON! -Spaz Dance-

It has been 61 days since my last post. I really should concentrate on this thing more often. -sigh-
Ok, so what have I been up to?

So, the first thing that jumps to mind is the fact that I went to Con. Saboten-con, to be exact. And this made me extraordinarily happy. It was more fun that Con-Nichiwa (although I'm really looking forward to that in March) simply because it was so much bigger. I didn't cosplay (not enough time or money.), but I got the chance to hang out with some pretty awesome people (Ashley and her friends, Leann and her friends. <3) I came away from that Con with what I was intending to: an attendance to a panel on Bleach and a Ichimaru Gin plushie (it's pretty much my favorite thing ever right now.) Have I mentioned that he's my official favorite character in Bleach? I'm sooo glad he's actually the good guy. Except that then he died... Opps, sorry. Did I just spoil it? (It's kinda a given that he dies, though...) Next Con, I'm aming for either a Sesshomaru or Allen Walker plushie (or a Crona plushie, if those even exist.) And Crona brings me to my next topic.

Ok, yes. I didn't cosplay at Con, but some of my besties threw a Soul Eater cosplay party. I wasn't given much warning though... This is how it went:
Regina: Hey, you want to come to our Soul Eater cosplay party?
Me: Yeah.
Regina: Awesome! You should be Crona.
(Planning, etc.)
Me: -hangs up, stares at the phone- Ooook... now I have a week to get together a cosplay...
It didn't turn out half bad, actually. I'm going to perfect it by Con-Nichwa, and I'll have a Ragnarok. CAN'T WAIT!
Well, that's enough anime fangirling for now.

The other thing that's made me really happy recently is the fact that I finally got to see Avatar (the one with the blue people.) It was really good. And the blue people made me really happy. Especially their tails. I like tails.

My last note for this post relates to the fact that I'm letting Ashley borrow my tablet. (This is making her really excited and it makes me smile. :D) However, I feel like I'm going to forget to bring it on Monday. I have this urge to write "TABLET" in huge letter in sharpie up my arm. I feel like a scenario like this is going to happen:

Me: -takes off jacket-
One of my friends at church: Why do you have "TABLET" written on your arm?
Me: So I don't forget it. (Obviously)
Them: Ok then.

Well, then good night.

(Well, one last burning question to leave you with: Is Crona a guy or a girl? :D)

My Life in 10 Bullet Points

Hello again... I'm not dead yet.

I actually don't have an awful lot to talk about. I mean, stuff's happened, but it's not that noteworthy. Hm... best way to deal with this (and writers block -head desk-) is to make a list.

1. Made friends on the bus (Only took me 3 years.... -sigh-)
2. Role-played A LOT.
3. Played Resident Evil 4 (I'll tell you a story about that after my list.)
4. Wrote a 5 page essay in 2 days. (Ick)
5. Almost did a meme. (I still might do it, I just need to drag my art muse out of the attic.)
6. Watched White Collar (<3! I finally finished the first season.. :D)
7. Decided to go to Con. (There's going to be the voice actor of Ichigo there... -swoon-)
8. Tried to decide who to cosplay at Con. (I'm leaning towards Rukia at this point.)
9. Fangirled over varioius things. (White Collar, Inu-Yasha, D. Gray Man)
10. Cried while reading the newest chapter of Bleach. (Chapter 416... -sniff sniff-)

Ok, so Resident Evil 4. It's a game about a practically post apocalyptic world where there are mostly only Zombies with pitch forks, chain saws, scythes (etc.) trying to kill you. It's extraordinarily violent... but so much fun. My friend has it and we've been slowly working our way through it. Funny story about the chain saw, though. It's a one player game, by the way. One person plays (as Leon), and the rest of us stand around yelling at them.
The Infamous Chain Saw Incident:
-While Playing Resident Evil-
Josh: Why do I hear a chain saw?
Everybody else: BEHIND YOU!
-Poor Leon gets decapitated... That happens to him a lot-

It's kind of gone down in history. We like making fun of him for it. I beat one of those little buggers today too (the chain saw guys. They're a different breed of zombie and they're harder to kill.) Good times...

Yeah, so I'm going to Con. And I need a costume... And people to go with... It's a work in progress. If anyone has any tips on how to get a Rukia costume together in a month when you don't have very much free time, please tell me... :D

Finally, on Chapter 416. Skip this part if you haven't read the chapter, MAJOR spoilers.
Ok, I really was crying by the end of this chapter. Gin is (was) one of my favorite characters. Ah well, at least he died the good guy... -sniff sniff sob- And there was a major GinRan moment at the end. And then Ichigo showed up with something that looks suspiciously like a body over shoulder and no explanation... Next chapter's gonna be interesting...

I feel like this was a boring post... sorry.

Till next time, my fine compatriots.

I'm musing... I'm wet and I'm musing....

I'm fairly sure that this is a new record for number of posts in a week. Ah well, school is starting tomorrow and I wish to write.

Ok, so.... School. I'm not totally sure if I should be looking forward to it or not. I mean, I'll be glad to see my friends again, and new classes are fun, but I don't really wanna have homework again... Another point of interest tomorrow is going to be the new (and male, which is really new) addition to my lunch table. Now my lunch table is... special. And I love them that way and I never want them to change. Of course, we're short two members this year because Jen graduated and Regina is going to a different school *grumble grumble tear tear*. At any rate, my lunch table is presided over by otakus and artists and considering the fact that there were people singing in harmony last year at then end of our lunch period, I think you can see why I love them. I just hope the new boy's good with insanity.

On another note, I've been watching more White Collar. Have I mentioned that I love that show? Ok, so now I'm going to go on a mini rant-ish thing about everybody's favorite topic: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! (And fangirling... mostly fanigirling.)
So have you ever seen a scene in a movie or a show or read it in a book that either A) makes you fall in love with the character or B) immediately lets you understand the character? Under this topic, I can think of three scenes from White Collar. (Just let me fangirl in peace, please. This is the last thing I'm going to talk about, so you can just skip the rest of this.)
Scene 1: Neal Caffrey, sitting in a car, playing with an origami crane which he clearly folded himself.
Scene 2: Peter opens a crate with a dead body in it. Neal immediately looks away.
Scene 3: "I take my miracles where I can find them."
Ah well, I'm just rambling and nobody else but me cares, so I'll leave you with one parting quotes from Psych (another top notch show):
"How do you kill a nose?!"
Thanks for reading. I promise I'll post something worthwhile next time.

(There's a reference to The Producers, directed by Mel Gibson in the title of this post, by the way.)
