Lost Meadow

1:17am: DUDE NO!
So Michael Jackson is dead... looks like no more nose cutting and fake child molesting reports.

OMG SO IS FARRAH! ....

things happen and now I want to do a skit with this... an aka TOO SOON SKIT. haha

this past weekend I was with Ryzen, Rachel, Frank, Raidos, Adrienne, and Keith at downtown louisville. I have to admit it was fantastic. I had fun and I hope everyone had fun.

next week Im off to florida to watch my students compete in a national tae kwon do tournament. wish us luck!

heres a preview picture of the shoot we had



I updated my website. Http://celesteorchid.devilsbsd.net


still tons of updates coming and it looks like i have more work to do... like 5 more costume galleries and one event page. shit. too much work.. but its getting there.

OMG SICK PINK! ya i said it. pink.

11:22am: For A While... I might have looked like I was on Hiatus
SO... I started thinking... and when I do it turns negative because I usually just let life come at me.

I don't think I want to go to Comic Con nor Ikasu or Matsuri. I'm so burnt out right now. I've done 9 new costumes without including the ones for other people. More like... 13 if I really count everything that I have made. I'm just really tired of it all. I love cons.. I love my friends at cons. But I don't think I can keep up everything. My next con to relax is probably just going to be sugoicon.

I still have to make a C.C. costume for CCC. I'm thinking about it and I might just pull something out of the closet really quick. But we all know that I hate doing that so I might just try to pull out one last costume.

5 cons already.... 9 new costumes.... well just about that much... I'm so out of it. All the motivation has left me.

4:11am: Painting the town red? pink? Just let night fall...
wow... that was amazing.. theres no words for me to describe what amazing crazy stuff can happen... LOL

11:12am: HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO YOU rukawagf//blackjackie999!!!

HAPY BIRTHDAY!

5:44pm: Post ACen Sickness
For one.... I was busy with main events like crazy. I'm still not on a con high due to Friday's events. I feel like I'm living a surreal life until I realized how distant I was from everyone. I still feel that way even when I want to talk and yet I can't find the words to say anything. I can't say anything. I've never had this problem. I want to talk to my friends... I want to be able to smile and have fun with them again.. yet I feel like I can't do that anymore.

Actual CON STUFF NOW.

Friday
Bai Ai Li and Air pulled an all nighter trying to finish their costumes. I felt so bad for them. They looked good... but they decided not to debut them. In my heart I was disheveled. But at least they could be comfortable. **cries**

Got to the con after being at so many banks. I swear Chicago hates banks. But luckily we found one. My entire Palutena cosplay is in utter pieces. That destroyed my weekend right there. My hard work... the biggest costume I wanted to debut... was in pieces. I about quit the con.

BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON.

I got in gear for the Fashion Show.. apparently a girl passed out in the restroom... luckily Kasemei was there to help me. I am so thankful she was there to help me through all of it. I was still dazed at the fact that Palutena is in complete annihilation.

I got in the show... tons of crazy characters, lolita, decora, steam punk.. just all these people. It was amazing. I met a lot of girls at the show. They were so nice and kind! I hope to work with them again in future shows! I modeled a Shiro Lolita dress for English Charm. I even meet the creator. Shes a wonderful person and she looked so beautiful too!

I talked to some of the fans from the fashion show. And then I got ready for the Charity Ball.
Fred looked really good in his purple outfit. DUDE.. his shoes were amazing.

then... something happened...

Saturday
I woke up BEYOND LATE. The only things that I can say were that I could not sleep due to room mates, and I overslept when I did sleep. It is entirely unprofessional of me to make that mistake at that event: cosplay chess.

After chess... slowly made it to the code geass photoshoot. I about passed out... seriously. the lack of sleep.. the lack of nurishment... my body was pushing the limits. I couldn't handle it anymore. I skipped the private photoshoot Kasemei had planned just to try to relax. Which I did... I passed out... woke up.. ate chips, and cheez its.. and had an amp... only to realize that it was the perfect amount of sugar to knock me back out. I got into my skit costume and went to the GOD hotel room. I started passing out again on their bed... and was too tired too move once we got to the HOLDING room for the masquerade. I was on the floor then in a chair... and then asleep... then I heard music and started dancing... OMG still tired.

We performed our GODLY SKIT, won Judge's Choice.

Came back to the room... talked to some people... karaoked.. and then came back to the room and slept.. finally rest.

Sunday
I woke up... decided to say no to cosplay.. wore a wig.. some average clothes and walked around.. talked to people.. said some good byes..

Bai Ai Li and Air and I went to Mitsuwa.. omg so much fun there. I bought gifts for my family and then passed out in the car.



favorite things about this event:

((Bai Ai Li wearing Palutena crown" "look I'm Marissa... love me." I think I even fell to the ground laughing))

Jason, Ken, Kasemei, and I :"GOD TEAM"

Jason: did somebody order a pizza?

Katiya: Did somebody say Bi? because I'm bi.
((that made me lol soo much, because no one said that at all.))


I now realize I need to make business cards to hand out to people who I just met at the con so I can keep in touch with them. I miss everyone. But I know I'll see some people at Cleveland Colossal Con. I hope to be well in a month so I can visit everyone!


and yes Im sick again. my dad realized this too... hahaha. I swear.. next con. if i dont sleep.. its over. im done. no more.

1:39pm: OMG THIS IS AWESOME. Artwork from Desmond Gan
I just worked with an artist on Deviant art, he asked if I could model for him. I have been sending him pictures and he just sent me on back. And it takes my breath away.

heres the link to the still image.

By Desmond Gan

Here is the motion artwork that he did of the same picture. Looks amazing to me.


Ok I'm just breathless at this point. It's really amazing what some people can do. I'm a wee bit jealous... oh. here is the original picture that he had to work with
this picture was taken at the ANime Punch Girls Calendar Photoshoot. Keith is the photographer. :D

11:47pm: Acen News
Hi hi yeah time for a fast update.

I have finished GODDESS PALUTENA for Acen. No I do not have a wig for it. I might use CC wig.. yea no.. I dunno. If anyone on my f-list has a long dark green wig they would lend to me I would greatly appreciate it.

I have Jirachi and CC Goddess left to finish.. but those are two costumes go hand in hand with each other.. so no problem there.

I need to finish up Deunan for a friend as well as her Cutey Honey. XD All is well and is almost there. I hope I remember to pack everything.

I just realized this con is my GOD con. LOL.

As for further news... nothing. LOL. bye bye

4:40pm: NEW STUFF KIDS
So I have been talking to a lot of people. I've had plans for acen.. I hope I can get them done in time.

CC
skit costume
Jirachi

the only one I need to make for myself is CC and the skit costume isn't so hard.

I want to add more only after I finish up my commissions: only 2 1/2.

Speaking of awesome stuff.
I won second place on Cosplaylab Ljs #31 Contest: Amano Designs.

YAY. right?

I made a new pair of earrings. Yea. I was bored today. Heres the link

pictures were taken with a camera phone. LOLZ

9:16pm: ANIME PUNCH 2009, I need to do one for mtac oops
WOW. What can I say about this con... oh.. three words: TOTAL LET DOWN. Last year it was so much better. This year it just wasn't that great. A lot of my friends didn't go but I did meet a lot of people this time, and I gave out cards. ;D

Events: because I'm on the mailing list I saw what was going to happen and what wasn't going to happen. I had plans with friends so all of it wasn't bad. Friday and Sunday had no events and was a total let down. I'm very upset that my time with baking cookies took a lot of time so I couldn't attend the Whose Line Panel.
I'm super pissed about the swimsuit cosplay. DAMN where did everyone go? And fighting was not a good idea. That girl was a lot heavier and taller than me. I'm really happy that everyone expressed their concerns about my safety. I would have rather swam laps or something else like get their top off first wins. Seriously. Not a good idea.

Staff: I'm friends with a lot of the staff. And I don't see a problem with them or anything. So I'm cool with it.

Hotel: The hotel was actually okay. I liked the size for it.. but they lacked enough space aka one room for dealers. I feel very bad for them (the dealers). They were so nice.

Congoers: I met a lot of people, and they were all really really cool. I'm glad to have met such people.

COSPLAY: Totally lacking. I wish there were more people cosplaying. But since its a ANIME convention that is solely devoted to pure anime... a lot of people don't cosplay or attend the con. Such a killer.
The masquerade was fun and the MC was fantastic.

Rave: OMG THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST RAVES EVER. I need to go buy more lights for next con. And dancing with people was fun. I totally hate SNAKES. I can't do anything about that though. I'm glad that there weren't any circles. :D

Dealers Room: They were really cool people. And of course, they're awesome. I feel so bad for them having to camp outside in a tent. Poor dealers

Game Rooms: POOR POOR POOR QUALITY. I greatly hated this. Why did they have to be in such tight areas. I hated that.

Overall: I definitely liked last years. This year just failed. Everything was cut in half by 3. I had fun at certain times but overall, I don't think this was on my top favorites. Next year, I don't think this con makes the cut.

12:52am: CELESTE WANTS PINK
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-PINK-COLOR-NINTENDO-DSi-System-Console-Free-Pouch_W0QQitemZ390042652640QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games?hash=item390042652640&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:15|39:1|240:1318

9:53am: First April Fools Of the Day
This might get a bit mushy so I put it under a cut.
( APRIL PHOULS )

12:00am: Caved In

Luna from Sailor Moon ((it was on a whim and I had yellow laying around))

11:21pm: CRAP TON OF UPDATES
Because of a new position in work.. I might not be able to make it again to AX. I'm so pissed. There's a lot of people who I want to visit and because of work I doubt I'll be able to go anywhere for the time being.

Yes I got a real job. HOWDY HAR HAR HAR.

Cosplay wise.. I'm fucked for A&G. I don't have a ride to Anime Punch at the moment. I'm thinking... oh dear. Secondly. I'm just like.. everything is just in shambles right now.

I've been driving but my car is now being used by Uncle. Yeah. This doesn't help at all. I guess I'll just live in my room for the time being. Um... I dont want to drive my dad's expedition, I cant drive stick shift, and definitely can't drive my mom's car... mercedez.. not happening.

sigh... Checkmate on my end.

12:04am: Blowing a Fuse is scary shit.
So I was using the hot glue gun... and yea. I blew a fuse when the gun got low on glue... little did I realize that... then I see a poof of smoke and then the lights in my room go out. I ripped the glue gun out of the power outlet.. took it down stairs.. out the door.. and now its sitting on the cold concrete. I opened my window to vent my room.. but damn.. that was scary.

1:14am: LOLERZ

9:26pm: TIME FOR A QUICK UPDATE
 I love my contact lens... Im wearing them and they make me feel like a tiger... ROAR!

1:44pm: Surprised? YEA REALLY AN UPDATE
Wow can you believe its close to the third month already!?  Gosh this new year is moving faster than I thought.  My school ends April 22.  MY GOD.  I seriously think it's moving rather fast.  I've already gotten sick twice.. wow really?  XD

So school.. is school.  Theres nothing more than that.

Babysitting is babysitting.. seriously.  I do feel like I am watching babies.

Cosplaying... hasn't moved an inch after Ohayocon.  I do know for a fact  that I will be attending several cons this year that are outside of my range.  MTAC, and maybe Otakon or AX.  I'm trying to figure out how to get to both but we'll see.

Video gaming.... is video gaming.  I've been playing  alot of brawl lately.  I seriously would need to stop playing this game.

Friends.. OMG what would I do without you.

3:03pm: Wanted to share
 I got new colored contacts for CC

12:44am: TIME FOR THE OHAYOCON THING
( this is so you can survive )

12:54pm: my hairs getting to that length again

I just read something... I'm completely pissed... someone's getting a call...
