So, after a long time forever talking about doing it, I'm getting off my butt and actually MAKING the Ealdy cosplay. First step: The eyepatch. I dunno if I have the right materials, but at least a practice eyepatch will still do. Of course, there's no preexisting pattern, so I have to do it on my own using some newsprint.

Which means I have to run back and forth between my sewing table and my bathroom mirror looking like this.

( I'm glad my roomates didn't catch me. XD )

So, I'm comod at shadowreign . We're still under construction and all, and I'm doing a lot of the construction. idk, I don't mind it too much; writing descriptions is fun, and I'm almost half-way done constructing the place. I still need to get in contact with the other mod, though, but she lives in the UK, I live in the US, and thus communication is difficult. At least we've got email.

I sure hope we're successful. I'm still nervous about being a mod once it starts up, though.

...HOW DO I BE A MOD HELP DX

~*~*~

I just finished some major canon review of FFXI, with the help of a friend.

Goddamn, this game needs a freakin' timeline.

No, wiki, I mean a timeline of BEFORE the meltdown. Everyone knows what happened after the telepathic people went and turned into tonberries and crap.

Thanks a lot, non-existent fandom.

the SUPER POWER meme !


COME ON GUYS YOU KNOW YOU WANNA DO IT

*sigh* So, I came back from my Mom's place. Wasn't that bad, but I still hate going down there. Hopefully I'll have passed my Graphic Design I class.

Got paranoid again tonight. Nothing to really worry about, probably, but I still get the feeling I made a friend of mine upset (or I'm just bothering her somehow). I know I ramble a lot about stuff, and I don't mean to...nor do I mean to bother anyone about it...I just hope I'm not endangering our relationship for it. I'll have to do better in the future.

Aside from school, I still have to figure out my living situation. I'm going to stupid RENTON, then I'm going to see if I can get an apartment. I'm not letting my mom choose for me. I have one in mind already.

....anywho.

I'm sure things'll turn out for the better somehow. I just hope I haven't ruined anything. D8

I'm super stressed. And I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow. Only...Saturday. Yeah. Because then thursday and friday will be overwith. Life sucks right now, for once.

...but THIS is an excellent pick-me-up. 8D


SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE AN ICON SET OUT OF THIS. BECAUSE IF I DO IT IT'LL SUCK XD

Pop quiz? Yeah, whatever. Happens all the time.

But pop TEST?! Okay, so you basically told us one class prior, but still that's hardly enough time to study for a TEST while we have OTHER finals to do! Are you TRYING to screw me over?!

. . .

*sigh*

It might be just me, but...I hate writing thank-you notes.

Not that I'm selfish and greedy or anything, I've just never understood the concept. I realize you do it to be polite because someone's done you a favor, but it's also one of those things my mom forced on me whether I liked it or not.

But see, here's the thing.

When someone gets upset and grumpy when you DON'T write a thank-you note - particularly the gift sender - then isn't that considered being greedy? I mean, you gave me a gift/did me a favor, right? That was totally up to you. And sure, I'd like to say thanks for that, but if you're going to basically demand I give you a thank-you note or I'm not receiving any more gifts, then you're not really giving me a gift anymore. You're just doing something so I'll be forced to thank you for it.

I don't care if writing thank-you notes is old fashioned or anything else. First off, getting forced to do it sucks the joy out of receiving anything, which sometimes is the point for the gift-sender; two, sometimes I don't have the time to go to everyone and say "thank you" for every tiny damn thing they do for me.

[ sigh ] This is why I never wanted to have internet contact with my family. All it is is another method of pestering me, and that's really the last thing I need right now.

I'm don't want to come off as being ungrateful or selfish, but to me when you're FORCED to do something polite...it doesn't really seem polite anymore.

Or maybe I just have a really weird way of thinking.

So, while waiting for my friend's birthday to start at the bowling alley/arcade...we played connect four.

And I totally kicked their butts. XD
