AMERICAN IDOL? BRING IT!!!

  • Jun. 18th, 2009 at 12:26 AM

Ok, so just to let you know since i didn't say anything really... 

I'M IN CHICAGO AUDITIONING FOR AMERICAN IDOL!!!

...because I'm a rock star.

The trip out was LONG but full of groovy tunes.  We left PA at like 8 am and got to Chicago around 7 something.  Then we didn't get into the hotel and everything until after 8.  Then I quickly collapsed.

So we got up at 1 am, left the hotel to take a van over to O'Hare by 2....  then we hopped on the L (like the metro... I was so excited because Dr. Greene rode the L on ER! ^_^_^ I'm such a dork, I know.... but I totally kept having flashbacks to that Love's Labor Lost episode from season 1 or 2....  I think it was 1....) but they were doing renovation crap on part of it... so we had to get off and take a shuttle bus to the next part of the L.  It seriously was like almost 3:30 til we got in line at the Union Center.  If we had driven there ourselves it would have taken like 15 minutes.  OH well.

So yeah.  It was fun and everything, and I'm still really tired and I don't quite know why I'm even awake right now.  All I did today was get my wristband and papers and stuff, and then we all come back on Monday.  I THOUGHT the preliminary audition stuff would have been today and tomorrow....  so that means Monday will be all the more insane.  I like to think of it as Otakon Saturday in like, everyone crammed in the dealers room or something.  Only there will be more people here than at Otakon, but that's the closest thing I can think of right now.  Again, I'm tired.

So Monday, we'll get there at ... I dunno...  EARLY.  Then I'll sing by myself, then WHEN I make it through that (positive speaking people!) there's group singing...  THEN after I make it through that, I get to sing for Randy, Cara, Paula and Simon.

What am i going to sing, you ask??  WELL the first song is really brief.  I'm going to sing the chorus (bc that's all there's time for) of Lovesong by Sara Bareillis.  THEN for Simon and crew, I'll sing Oh Darlin by the Beatles.

They say to have like 3 songs prepared, but I'm having tons just in case.  The other songs are In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel, Hope Now by Addison Rose, and Jupiter by Jewel.  I'm thinking that should be enough.

In happy cosplay news.... I'm sooooo excited that there's more pictures of Shiva out there.  Miss Krys and I need to get together soon to start working!!!  Especially bc I'll be in Hollywood (wooooooooooohoo!) in like january.  Hmmm.......................!

Anyway, I'm going to crash in a minute or five.  MUCH LOVE TO EVERYONE!!!!!  (oh and I have net for the next couple days so I'll get to check this like, often! ^_~)

rosemary artichoke quiche FTW!!!!!!

Well.  I always knew I loved artichokes, rosemary and quiches..... but I never had them to-ge-ther.

Wonders will never cease.

Other than that, I would just like to say that you could eat off my kitchen floor.  it owns.

..even though sometimes I wouldn't mind it.  :o(

Sorry I've been away....  My confused boyfriend decided to become an ex-boyfriend after dating for 3 and a half years.  Not his brightest moment.

Anyway, sorry to have been gone.  Hope all is well with everyone.

WOOHOO!

Here we go... Steelers....  hereee we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YAY SUPER BOWL YAY!

Ahhh, football and cosplay!

I hate the playoffs.  They're so intense, and they mark the coming end to the football season.  I hate the end of the football season.  Then you're stuck with basketball.  Basketball can eat my ass.

Ok, maybe not.  It's not that bad.

I just realized that my subject title sounds like I might be cosplaying a football player or something.  No, sorry.

I'm feeling ok about Katsucon.

Yuuko (Dec 2007 calendar art) : All done but the stoooopid butt poofy things.  Squee!

Yuuko (Mar 2007 calendar art) : The sewing is all finished but the black corset thing.  I still have a MILLION VELVET ROSES to bloody iron onto the red satin.... but then we're done!

 - and then if I get them finished with enough time -

Yuuko (original peacock that's been sitting on my dressform since, oh, October of last year??) - Still 80+% done.  I should really finish that.....

Midna - I just don't think I'll have the time.  There's not even all that much to do.  I = sucky poo.  It will TOTALLY be done sometime this year.  It NEEDS to be finished.  I'm sick of looking at it.  (Well, kinda...  my old Myoubi wings are on top of it at the moment, if I'm being completely honest.)

Alyce and I are off to Harrisburg to go to the fabric outlet tomorrow, which is a good thing.  Wednesday will be an all-sewing day, so I should be able to finish the white and red Yuuko's (and whatever is left on Himawari).  Then whatever time I can invest in cosplay from now till Katsu will be on Midna and my peacock Yuuko.  It's possible.....!!!

Anyway, back to football.  Stupis playoffs! 

My cute little Peyton Manning....

I sure hope my boyfriend, Peyton Manning, wins tonight.

I heart him.  Even though I'm a Steelers fan.

nasty tricksy false !!

Cosplay is eating my ass, and I just thought I'd bitch about it.

Well, I'm mostly just mad I broke my needle.  Dammit.  And I'm not at home to get another one.

Dammit.

So I'm pissy.  >_<!!!!!

I have nothing of value to say except for rants.  I'm sorry!  But on a happy note, Bill and I were shopping on Saturday night and we stopped at a Hallmark in Harrisburg...  and lo and behold...

THEY HAD THE JIM SHORE SLEEPING BEAUTY FIGURINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I about creamed my pants.  Sorry, I just love Aurora.

So I know what one of my Christmas pressies is.  I srsly didn't even know they MADE her!  Cos she wasn't anywhere at the local Hallmarks.  SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so I is happies!

....though I'm still mad about my needle and my now inability to work on stuffs until I go home tomorrow after work.  bah humbug!!!!

I'm off to London

  • Nov. 22nd, 2008 at 8:13 AM
in the closet (cos that's where i was)
I'm leaving tonight to try and see my beloved mother-sister-type friend, Allyson, who is dying.  She has been battling with stage 3 cancer, and we all knew this day would come, but no one thought it would be this soon.  The doctors told her around Mother's Day of this year that she should have a good two years if not more left.... but we all know there's no guarantees in life.

Thursday night around 6:30 I got a call from one of her sons that she was bleeding internally and they didn't know where it was coming from.  Then sometime after midnight, I got a text that they found the bleeding was coming from her stomach, but were still operating.  Then around 2:00 I got another text that she made it through surgery, but she had lost so much blood that they thought she may have brain damage.

I was just happy she made it through the surgery and they stopped the bleeding.

Then yesterday morning at around 8:30 or so, I got a text that her heart had stopped beating and they had to resussitate her.... and then they might have to do another surgery, but wouldn't know for a couple hours.  Around 4 or so they were saying that she looked better than she had in the morning, but her blood wouldn't clot, so they didn't think she had much time left.

So later in the evening I talked to Simon (one of her sons) and he told me her heart is beating on it's own, but other than that.... there's no way she's leaving the hospital alive.  Soooooooo, after I got off the phone with him I booked a flight.  I should get to London at 9:15 Sunday morning.  It sounds like I might be able to see her before she dies, and that's what I'm praying for. 

Any prayers and thoughts for Allyson, her family, and a safe trip for me, would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks guys. <3

Why do I have to be so damn old?  Can't I like, go back to 23?  I was a big fan of 23.  Even 24.  Now, I wouldn't want my _life_ at 23...  I'd still want my life of now, just the age of then.  ^_^

Stupid turning 27 next Sunday.  BLEGH!

On the bright side, there will be food and friends.  Food and friends are good.  Maybe I'll even get a Jamie since she POOPED OUT ON ME LAST WEEKEND.  *smooch*  It's ok, I still loves you.

Today.

haha!  Just kidding!!!

Truth be told, the evil jacket of doom on my Yuuko costume ate my soul in pieces.  See, the jacket looked fine when I put it on, as did the skirt.  But when I put them on together......  not so much.  Frump-tastic.  I'm going to poke at it sometime in the near future.

I'm feeling very ambitious though.  Maybe I'll have a Brittanycon in the near future.  OH yeah.  And no one could say they couldn't afford it because it'd be free.  ^_^

Anywhooooo, I'm off.  Glad tidings of great joy to all!  ^_^_^_^_^_^

this is kind of cool

I was, of course, pretty in the middle.  Just thought it was neat-o.

Home from Vegas and so in hearts!!!

O love!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO i have about a billion pictures and happy things to babble about, but I'm tired and will do it later.  Just want to say, Cirque du Soleil is the coolest thing in the world 'O' was soooooooooooooooooooooo amazaing.

I am so inspired now to work on cosplay.  Especially something with lots of fun make-up.  My childhood love of all things clown (iy yi yi....  iy yi yi...   lol!) and oogling over the show just did it for me.  I was a big pile of squeely goo.

I still kinda am.  Except that my feet hurt from walking too dang much.  Yeah, we thought it was a good idea to walk (oh, in flip flops) the strip from our hotel (Luxor) to the Wynn...  there and back....  Oooooh the pain, the pain.  And it's not like we just walked on the street either...  that's going in and out of casinos (that if you're me, you get lost in and can't find the way out....)  L-o-t-s of walking. 

Anyway, didn't I say I would babble later?  Gaah!  Must sleep!!!!

^_^_^_^_^_^ 
cosplay!!!

So for real.  I'm not 14, but I TOTALLY LOVED the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.  So much fluff, but I totally loved it.  I don't ever remember deVOURing books like I did these four.  I read all of them in one week.  No big deal if you're, you know, Alyce, but for me that was just nuts.

And I'm totally reading them again.  I restarted Twilight today.  ^_^  Went out and bought them myself since I had only borrowed them from Sister-chan.

And I'm pretty sure that if Edward Cullen was to say "Hey, s'up" (like he'd ever talk like that) I'd be like, "Bill who?"

I'm such a dork.  ^_^  

And I'm all about seeing Cedric Diggory play my little Edward.  Cute!!!  I totally wish I had been at Comic-con and could have seen the whole cast.  That would have been so badass.  Though yeah, I hadn't read them back then.  But I digress.

I am pretty stoked about Friday and opening for Heather Kropf.  That should be fun.  I need to get out there and play my music more often....  I should buy a *ew throw up, ew* keyboard.  !! Blegh!!!  But it would be helpful....

Anyway, I am to the aways.  Much love to all!!!!!!!

cosplay!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!  So I was going to come online and make a cosplay post, but first I had to check some messages at Myspace.  So while I was thereeeeee..  I saw a little clicki-here add that said....  

*drumroll*

THEY'VE MADE CHOKE (my favorite book by Chuck Palahniuk) into a MOOOVIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!  It's about flipping time!!!  SRSLY!!!!

Now, if you don't know, Chuck Palahniuk is the guy who wrote Fight Club, as well as many other super extreme books.  I heart him so much!!!!!  There is so much sex in the book though.... and the language is filllllllthy, so they'll probably tone it down a bit.  But still.  I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!  ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^  *does a ltitle dance*

how do you catch "jerpies", hulk?

  • Jul. 5th, 2008 at 5:21 PM
cosplay!!!

I am so confused.  What's "jerpies"?  Is that like, someone mispronoucing "herpies"?  Because, you know, herpies is hard to say...?  Or maybe it's a real word.

Silly commercial.  Apparently Brook Hogan has her own show coming on VH1 in the near future, and Hulk is none to pleased about her being able to catch "jerpies" in the hot tub.

I do heart me some Celebreality garbage on VH1, but not so much the Hogan Knows Best.  But I do heart me some New York. 

....oh, and Shemhazai can bite my shiney metal ass.  For reeeeal.

Bill's 30th Bday party!!!

So the party was so much fun!  Even though I got really sick...  @_@  I think it was my nerves....

Here's a couple pictures...

>_<  I feeling one of those jealousy moments popping up, and it's so stupid and well, stupid.  jealousy is just dumb.

i know bill still talks to some girl he used to date (not the crazy one) on myspace every couple weeks.  whatever.  she wanted to meet up since it's been years since they have.  just catch up stuff.  why does this bother me? 

i mean, dorian and i still talk.  i will always love that kid, and if we hung out it would be no big deal....  and more importantly, if bill thought it was weird and got all jealousy, i'd laugh at him because dorian and i would never, under any circumstances, date ever ever again.  it just wouldn't happen.

i know that i trust bill, and i don't think he would do something stupid.  that's just not like him.  i don't know where this jealousy bug is coming from, but i kinda want to kick it.  it's so stupid.  he has "single" for his status on myspace, and always has had "single" on there.....  and hello, it's stupid myspace.  who gives a crap about myspace.  but for whatever stupid reason it bothers me.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i'm pms-ing.  that must be what it is.

I WANTS TO MAKES ALLLL ZEE ESPERSESSS!!!!!

MWAH HAH HAH HAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Except for maybe the big fat one.  LOL.  Actually, HELLS YEAH, I want to make the big fat one.  I could eat as much garbage as I want, all day.  It'd be sweet.

And Dani, what on God's green earth were you thinking when you were thinking about Shemhazai?  Srsly, I'm ready to give up and like, I've only done a couple things.  AND I HAD PENISES ON MY HEAD.  But they cracked.  I didn't think of them as penises as I was molding them, but Tom, of course, had to point it out.

Dammit.

I don't think I can save them.  Maybe.  @_@

Anyway, sorry for writing "PENIS" really big on everyone's LJ.  I will buggar off now.

happy day!  *runs back to watch Nikolas and dead-Emily on General Hospital* 

@_@ GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR IAMSOOOOMADDD!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!  Can I just say GRRRRR a whole lot!!!

So I took my old computer that had my college life on it to a happy little computer place in Hanover.  The nice lady said they would put all my info and files onto a DVD that I could then put on my laptop.  This would cost $50.  Ok fine.

WELL.

There were few folders I actually had a NEED for.  I needed my ancestral files I had spent hours and hours working on (over 5000 names of ancestors) and the music files, which were all in one happy file of Napster.  There was a song in there that I cannot find anywhere, and it's a piano duet that I"m playing with Steph at church...  She's never heard it, and it's always helpful to hear what you're playing.  Especially if it's something difficult like what we're doing.  

So I open up the happy DVD, pop it into the faithful laptop....  and no desktop files.  Like, anything that was physically on my desktop isn't there (or at least I can't find it)  The family stuff was there, thankfully.  But?  NO NAPSTER FILE.  Whatsoever.  The only stupid thing that I can think of is that "oooooOOOoooo Napster is evil so we won't back up her files on this DVD."

Well, um, 'scuse me, but isn't that what I paid for?  And it's not like the individual songs are gone, it's the WHOLE DAMN FOLDER.

needless to say, I swore like a little sailor when I realized the files were gone.  The files I just paid for.  I mean, in the grand scheme of things, $50 isn't that much, but still.  Give me my gosh darn files!!! 

And I can't call and rip them new assholes tomorrow because I work.  >_<  And I have to do all my stupid car crap on Monday (I have off) so I don't know when I can do it then...  but I don't want to wait too long.

The only other thing that I can think of is if I can get my physical hard drive to be put into one of those removable harddrives.  I could then poke that into my daddy'scomputer.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR I'm just so mad  because I waited a whole freaking week for nothing.  :p  stupid Computer place!!!!!

cosplaaaayyyyyyy

Wheeee!!!!!  So, I have new inspiration.  I need me some Shemhazai.  I've been making screen caps like a crazy lady off of YouTube...  though I'm still mostly clueless about how to make myself a horse.  Haha!

Anyway, I thought I'd babble about it here.  I think I need some sort of shoulder pad (like a football one or something) to build onto myself...  but I'm not sure.  I don't want to look like mega-shoulder lady.  @_@

Squeeee off to Lowes!  ^_^_^_^_^

Gaaah!

So Friday night I went to see 21 with Bill.  Awesome movie!  Only problem was, there were all these shots of the Strip, and shots of the Luxor hotel...  and I just couldn't help myself from squeeeeeling with happy chus.  He didn't "get" it of course, but it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard not to say ....  "We're going to be THERE in a couple months!!!!"

Totally sucked.  But I didn't tell him, so go me.  It's only been, oh... almost FOUR MONTHS since I booked the trip.  It's driving me absolutely batty waiting to tellsss himsssss!!

Anyway!  So on the doll front.  GAAH.  I was really really wanting to buy myself a birthday present (yes, in October...  I'm a little ahead of myself) of a Latidoll Yellow because I waaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnttttttttttsssssssssssssss one, or five...  @_@  See the monster you have created!!!!  Anyway, I'm realizing that my car needs inspected next month, it's at the 40,000 mile marker, so I have crap to do with that too.  AND I need to go to the eye doctor, AND save money for Vegas, AND pay Alyce her Lyra moneyyyy.  @_@  So, unless I hit the lotto, I don't think that will happen.

And I also won't be making it to AnimeNext.  :o(  Just too much going on that weekend, and driving the whole trip by myself is just too much for my wallet and sanity!  So maybe Otakon will now be a possibility.  We'll see with work...  Stupid bank mergers messing up my life!  Grrr, nuBank!  *kick kick*

On a random note, I"ve been listening to Sara Barielles (or is it ei?  I forget and the CD is out in my car) CD (and thinking of Jamie Jamie.  ^_^) and I hearts it big time.  My CD came with a bonus acoustic CD of five songs, and she has this really cool cover of "In Your Eyes" that's fun.    I want to make a cover CD.  That'd be fun.

ANyway, I need to buggar off!  Have a great day!
