so i don't know what i've been doing to keep me away from my lj. being boring i guess? so what's up with me as of late.... not much. i went to video games live a bit back. even competed in their cosplay contest.... you can watch it here! i got fourth btw. it was my first contest so i was rather proud of myself. being a game geek i always watch electric playground and reviews on the run. well the old co=host tommy somethingican'tpronounce is kinda the main guy behind vgl. he really liked my costume and asked me for a hug as well as made the obligatory sexual comment about the swords lol. i think his was somewhere along the lines of me handing the swords off to john when asked for a hug, saying i'd get rid of the pointies so as not to hit him with them. and then a sad face and a 'but what if i like it with the pointies?' well whatever floats your boat sir... all in all a fun night. i have a shit ton of clips i've been wanting to put in a cb. but laziness has me procrastinating and forgetting to put all that shit up.

in other news there was a meet up for the ae gang in stanley park a bit back. it was kind of a flop. but john, izzy and i made it a party on our own. then we went and saw whales at the aquarium. it was fun. and this girl came up and talked to us while we were waiting for the bus. fellow cosplayer. she was dressed as songstress yuna from ffx-2. annnnyway, she was nice and asked me about my costume.

her: "did you make your costume?'
me: 'with help, yes.'
her: 'even the hat?'
me: 'yep yep.'
her to her friend: 'she even made the hat. well of course she did! just gotta rub it in for the rest of us, being all pretty and talented!'


the only reason i mention all of this is because i like being called pretty ♥
anyway here's the pictures from the event. WARNING! it is image heavy, kinda.

lol i like how most of those are of me... i was the only one out of our 3 people that was in costume. also most of those are from john's camera, and he just like taking pictures of me like a creeper. ♥

in other news i dyed my hair.... it's now blond and purple. it's pretty snazzy. kinda make me feel like a pale barbie though. the miyavi concert is drawing closer and my costume is almost all done. the past week has been really slow at work, so it's been frigging deadly as far as tips go. horrid even. i was lucky if i walked out with $20. finally today it picked up. i think it has to do with the local news publishing that we were selling illegal fish. whatever... it's not like it was poisonous. we just bought it from the natives because they're allowed to fish all the halibut they want because of the law here.

i met nikki's new bf. he seems nice. dresses like a douche, but so does she. all that bling and rhinestones, they just aren't my scene. i don't know what it is, but after meeting stan i can't hep but look at the guy and question it. i mean is this the kinda guy that's going to stick around? even when all of nikki's hair falls out and she's in pain and sick from chemo? i'm doubting it, but i hope i'm wrong.

okie dokie so good news. nicole had some biopsies done, apparently they've been unable to find cancer cells outside of the pelvis area. there were some test resaults that lead them to believe they would, but now they say maybe not. so they have a few more things to check out. if it's all clear then they might start her on chemo to treat the cells found in the pelvic area.

i made a new cb video...( Read more...Collapse )

talks about my dealings with the girls trying to set up a spot in the north shore parade. i'm kinda getting a little sick of all of this shit. i mean whoever is running the ae fb group obviously either doesn't have the time, or is just completely fucking around. i mean honestly, 2 days? same thing happened with lights and cameras. it was such short notice, people weren't informed. it's just getting retarded.

so i tried hitting up the parade, but seriously i'm not driving out that far just to find out it's been axed because of lack of participation. so john and i hit up ihop instead, and he finally had eggs benny, which he's never had. poor kid's never even had hollandaise :S
whatevs, he came with peace offering of a freaking jug of pepsi and clamato juice. i guess it was to ward off my morning crankiness. a wise plan i think...

went and saw kick ass, i was actually surprised by how sad it was. sad times :C but i did enjoy it. i dl'd urban spoon to my riju, it's an amazing app. but i like anything that involves food. ♥ ♥
also sephiroth now can link up to my portable HD which means no more burning discs for burtney :D huzzah for being too cheap to buy blank cds.

been working on a new chapter for my fics on aarin. i feel bad for ignoring them for so long. i honestly hadn't realized so much time had passed. i'm kinda retarded like that.

so as most of you know, i was very upset yesterday, due to the news about nikki. i wasn't doing the best today either, not helped by the fact it was really busy at work. i almost broke down and cried when i heard that stupid lady antebellum song...

i'm not one of those people that cries, screams and has a fit when dealing with this sort of thing. i'm very quiet. i tend to distract myself with video games, reading or writing, those kinds of things. basically yesterday mikiko and i just kinda threw ourselves into an rp we were working a bit on. it was nice, but this morning i woke up with that same sinking feeling.

after i got off work, i was so tired. i just came home and practiced guitar for a bit. john had known i was upset but didn't know why, since i didn't really want to go through it all over txt. he had been at a hockey game with scott, i didn't really want to ruin his evening. anyway, he suggested sushi tonight and met with me after i got out of guitar lessons...

apparently john's solution to making me feel better when i'm down is to buy me a present. the last time i was upset he bought me a stuffed shinx, which is my favorite pokemon, for anyone unaware. this time he bought me the official new moon board game. it made me laugh, and was very sweet. after i got home i showed my mom, i think she was impressed.

me: "john got me a present, since i was so upset yesterday..."
mom: "why were you upset?"
me: "nikki..."
mom: "oh yeah" -looks back to the tv sadly-
me: "he got me the new moon board game."
mom: "oh god!" -chuckles- "that's like getting you a box of kotex!" (tampons)

she's refering to the fact as a man he braved humiliation at carrying such a girly thing about and buying it where people could see. lol apparently he was all too aware of the stares he was getting. they all prolly thought he was gay haha. this of course is made all the more amusing by the fact john has a defined hatred for anything twilight related, making this deed all the more sweet. he's even agreed to play it with me.

sooo the gang's all here. nicole, kayden and bella are all visiting. apparently the kids will be here for two weeks during their spring break. it's a tad wierd since nicole is divorced and usually if she has the kids, she wants to be with them, but she has to work. i dunno, apparently something happened with nikki's opa, like a freak out or something and she's nervous about them being in the house with him or stressing him out. i'm not sure, i haven't heard the whole story yet since she doesn't want to discuss it in front of the kids. gotta wait till they go to bed before she'll say anything about it.

so we went grocery shopping, which is odd for out family. having food in the house is an odd occurance. we're take out people mostly. also the hous is no longer quiet. which is strange for me, i'm used to it being so quiet. it's going to be odd to have about for two weeks. i'll also have to learn to watch my mouth :S
shits also a tad awkward since nikki's convinced john and i are dating. i told her we're just friends. but she doesn't have any man friends i suppose so she doesn't get it.

went to dressew with liv. was super fun and we got a lot of stuff. i knocked so much stuff off my list. liv and i talked about it, and she's agreed to just make the hat for me because it's been a pain in the ass to find. we took a look at a hat at dressew that was kinda the same style but, was the wrong colour/trim etc. it was mainly just fabric. i trust liv's judgment, if she says she can do it, i'm rather inclined to believe her. apparently i'm going to get serger lessons so we can pound these dresses out real quick.

cosplay bombshell has actually gone over really well. people have been pretty cool about all of it.
