Second to Top on the Nerd Scale... Apparently

Sun Mar 29, 2009, 10:24 PM
As Wellygeddon looms ever closer I find myself in a state of a surreal despair... 99% of which is induced by the utter failure of this years cosplay... the other 1% from University. I'll be straight up, the soul cause of its failure is my absolute laziness, not only in the sheer procrastination of starting the damn thing but also in bothering to do a decent job on it. Simply enough; I started the costume in a completely unorthodox way, continued on an unorthodox path and wound up with a garment. Garment is... basically the only way to describe the outcome of this little endeavor for I cannot wear it, nor can I show it.

Originally I had planned to go this year as Harley Quinn, however seeing as I cannot wriggle my ass into the outfit I have managed to manufacture (Either I didn't bother getting the right measurements or I grew extensively in the last two weeks), this has become near impossible to sort out in under a week with several University assignments on the side. So, as a cop-out I'm in the middle of rounding up something that slightly resembles an Ame-Warashi outfit (xxxHolic) out of a dress from my goth days, an umbrella from my goth days and a top hat... from my goth days. See kids, having a goth faze pays off eventually. No, I can't take credit for making an amazing cos-play outfit worthy of competition standards, but I can take credit for rounding up a decent non-synthetic cosplay in less than a week.

Next year I've decided I'm just going to go as a Pokemon. Pokemonz depict less drama. Seriously.

An Observer's Conundrum

Sun Feb 8, 2009, 6:08 PM
The last time I submitted an entry to this page's journal was in 2006.

... And though I still have nothing to say, I feel it is an insult to my user page's display if I make it look as utterly neglected as I have. Also, three years ago my writing style left a lot to be desired... I must say it's quite embarrassing looking upon a rushed over, failed attempt to communicate thought and feeling every time I take a visit to my profile.

So between three years ago and now I would love to have an epic tale of my own self-coming and adventures through fantasy land, searching for that love of my life who is always just out of my reach... alas, I live a less than fantastical, less than normal - even - life; comprising of myself, being alone and unworthy of chasing a wayward lover halfway across the world and sitting in my damp, dark apartment offering a bedroom with no windows. The drugs are good though.

So in 2006 I must have been in my second to last year at High School, being an English Lit. nerd, as well as being obsessed with photography, mathematics and biology. If someone had asked me where I saw myself in three years I would have answered something along the lines of 'Studying Astrophysics and Astronomy in my second year of University... aming for a Doctorate'... Actually, to be quite honest, I wouldn't have answered anything at all; I was very shy.

How well did I accomplish my said goals? Well... I should have come to the conclusion that I was very fickle right from the beginning: I've been at University over a year and have already changed my major a good five times. Now as it stands, I'm in the second year of a degree in Film; yeah, did a bit of a 180 from my primary ambitions. I'm also studying electronic music and design and plan to do a course in animation for two years after I finish University (next year). I don't think about much in the way of a fall back plan... all I know is that I will be utterly screwed if I change my mind again... again.

So in 2009 I hope to bring my dear watchers... perhaps slightly more than what I have offered so far. I hope in three years time I can look back on my journal and see slightly more entries between now and then.

Yeah, forgot about this feature... again. Fortunately I've forgotten to give just as much love to any of my other online journals and this one can stop feeling so rejected. Even though if I played favourites this one would be in the bottom three.

So what news to I bring thee? Well, not much. I had about six pieces going on at one point until my stupid, useless, idiotic computer decided to have one of it's Usually-Twice-Daily-But-About-Three-Times-An-Hour-If-I'm-Working-On-Photoshop crashes and instead of erasing all of my unsaved work, just corrupted all the files so to be sure I'd never open them again. So now, since my attention span is as low as it's going to get, I'm refusing to redo them. Take that you stupid computer. What are you going to take away from me now?! *Curses as computer turns off in the middle of her journal entry and she has to rewrite*

That's all I can really complain about for now... and I mean how interesting is an entry if it's not complaining? I have two weeks off and hope to get a few more pieces up to make up for lost time but... as for this entry... I got nothing... [/End Message]

So an update every five months isn't so bad, hmm?

In one month I head over to Sydney for the international music festival. FREE T-SHIRT!!! Uhem. Yes. So anyone thinking about heading over there (Mostly shouting out to random Ozzies out there) Look for the crazy looking group singing an aray of incredibly boring songs ranging from Abba to god knows what jazz and classical. I'm hoping to sing an origonal over there too. Hoping.

Random count so far:

Pi: 107 digits
$$$: Including todays spendings there would be.... nothing
Nights of insomnia: 5 and counting
Hours of busking on Saturday morning: 10:00 - 12:00 (That's two)
People who shouldn't annoy me but do: 6... or more
Pageviews: 200 (Thanks to all who look me up - and read this)

I'm baaack

I must admit, I've never used this account before... I completely forgot it existed... to be honest I can't even remember creating it. Since my last account was pitiful and boring, I decided to switch but hell it was a bitch to clean out. I'm hoping I will not have to do the same with this account.

Then there was the drama with the Hot topics. My inbox was crammed with every hot topic since I joined in September 2004; Over a years worth -_-;

Anyway, I plan to submit some of the better Deviations from my old account and then hopefully make a better job of the future submissions.

There were several reasons why I changed accounts but one was that I got photoshop and suddenly my art got a lot better in a short amount of time (Ok, four months but I didn't put my prectice works on so it seemed to get better in a blink) and for some reason, I thought a revolutionised style needed a new account. I chose this over a new account however because it doesn't make it look like I'm a newb :P
