Last Minute Christmas Rush

Wed Dec 23, 2009, 4:12 PM
Man, I feel like I have SO much to do and so little time. AND I'M NOT EVEN IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW.

:iconotlplz:
:iconorzplz:

Well here's a To-Do List to let you guys know what's coming:

1. APHetalia Fan Club's Secret Santa Assignment. I'll basically be pulling an all-nighter and all-dayer tomorrow to get it in at the last minute. Thank god my person made my job easy for me, so I know exactly what I'm doing.

2. Christmas Shopping for :iconcobrared:,:iconcocoaferret:, :iconshardsofmidnight:, and :iconghost-man:. So, I know EXACTLY what I'm getting for Cobra. I even know the store from whence I can get it. Now the only thing in my way is money, nyeh (and whether or not she'll actually want it XD). And for Cocoa, I have a vague idea of what I'm getting for her, but it's, of course, vague. But hopefully it'll be good! *crosses fingers* I also know what I'm getting for Shards and Fantasmo, but I must admit they're significantly smaller gifts only because I'm sending both gifts to the other side of the country....yeah, money....not a fun thing...

3.Birthday gifts for Shards and Cobra. Well, at this point, I might as well just tack them on as part two of Christmas gifts XDD So, if I don't die form lack of sleep, I'll also try to finish both of those by Christmas, if not a couple days after.

4. Concentrations. Not only do I still need to do numbers 4 and 5 (number 4 is based on :iconshardsofmiidnight: :D ) But I need to start my new concentration idea and UGH. I REALLY wish I had taken my tablet to Phoenix TT^TT

5. College Apps. Well, you all know, so no need to explain that one.

6. Cosplays for ALA. Honestly, at this point, I'm seriously considering just dropping cosplays all together and stealing China from :iconcobrared:. Between basketball and said list above, sewing is just NOT a priority right now, GRRRRR. Haji might STILL be possible, but he'll be seriously lacking in the area of props (I'm not even going to try and attempt the claw if I don't think it's possible). Oh, and for Cobra and Cocoa, you'll be getting your gifts *hopefully* at ALA, because sending gifts costs money and I'm already spending enough of that on the east coasters' shipping XDD



So yes, that's my winter break... And I can't even stay up late or stuff my face on Christmas because I have a basketball game on the 26th at 9 in the morning...............

On the upside, we got 5th in our tournament in Phoenix and ended with a 3-1 record! :D And I got gifts for two other people taken care of! ^____________^ And I got to experience my first thunder storm in a while. It was pretty awesome. And the air was CLEAN. I swear, my acne cleared up a lot while in phoenix. Then my pores clogged up once again upon my return to LA. Say what you will, but I definitely think there' s a connection to air cleanliness and acne. And I renewed my distaste for LA. I don't ever want to LIVE here again if I can help it. Big cities = nyeh.

So enough of my emo rant. I distinctly DESPISE being emo. *turns on itunes and plays caramelldansen* MUCH better.

How is everyone else doing? I'm curious! What are you doing for Christmas/New Year/Yule/ everything else?

AND REMEMBER, IN A FEW HOURS, THE SUN WILL RISE!!!!!!!!

UPDATE: Christmas Wishlist

Sun Dec 6, 2009, 2:35 PM
Wishlist:

Uh, so by demand of Eyes and Cobra, here's my wishlist:

1. Pin, necklace, key chain, bracelet, anything I can either wear or tack onto my tote bag really. I love little things like that ^/////^
2. Fingerless Gloves
3. And stealing Cobra's request, somethign handmade would be spectacularly awesome ^////^
4. Or simply a fanfiction/fanart based on either SoraRiku, AkuRoku, SaiNaru, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama, or a new DeviantArt ID I can use :D

I'm not into big grand things, so something small like the stuff above is perfectly wonderful!
But also, dont feel compelled to even get me anything. Seriously, I prefer giving gifts over getting them ^_^


If you don't want to read irrelevant stuff, then I only have one request:
:iconshardsofmidnight::iconghost-man::iconcobrared::iconcocoaferret::iconeyesinfinity:must skip ahead to the Christmas section!

Well to go in order:

LA Pride:
I mentioned this to my mom and brother, and asked if my brother would come. He answered quite happily, "Yeah sure! :)" And then my mother said, "Wait, isn't that the gay pride one?" To which both of their expressions dropped...very low... Well, you can guess that now they were VERY against it at the understanding of what LA Pride is. My mother's words were "inappropriate and not for 17 year old teenage girls" while my brother's words were "dangerous and girls will hit on you, and I'm not comfortable with that, any more than if a guy were to hit on you." I responded to both, "Exactly, I'm SEVENTEEN. You act as if i'm going to a porn parade or something! Why is it inappropriate??? And Brent, so what if girls hit on me? And don't give me that "just like boys" crap, cause you'd be happier than a pig in poop if a boy really DID hit on me!" They gave their answers of, "when you're 18, you can do whatever you want, but right now no." and "'m just not ok with you going, this is not something for high schoolers to be associated with! College, yes, definitely, but high school, definitely not!"

Well thanks guys. Way to be Democrats. So looks like I have one of two options: A) Wait until next year or B) Go anyway by either persuading them with the idea of going with a big group of friends or simply stating that I'll be doing something else.

And before you say anything, yes, I know that they're my family and worry about me, but it's not like I'll be there for the night events and alone! Even the fact that I'm openly inviting my family, doesn't that say something about how I'll be ok???? Meh. Whatever, that's still a hal a year away.

Cosplays:
Oh god, so ended up not going to shop for cosplay stuff with everyone else, and now am freaking out because it does NOT look like I'll have a cosplay ready by ALA. Meaning I'll either be going as Sailor Pluto and China (if the offer is still up :iconcobrared: or in normal clothes with anime paraphernalia from head-to-toe. Yet another plan foiled.

Disneyland:
Well, we're going to Disneyland again, but this time as Brock (me), Ash (~EyesInfinity), and Gary (Tuggernauts0. Depending on who else comes, we might have a May, a Misty, and some Gijinka Pokemon. But at the moment, everyone looks like they'll be home at different times, so the Brock+Ash+Gary combination might be it. I want to go as a big group of Team Rocket members (so much more noticeable in a crowd), and much easier to get the costumes together (probably all off ebay), but oh well~

Art:
Is eating me alive. I've started my first "new concentration" piece, which centers around masks, but man oh man, am I having artist's block. Which doesn't help because both my final project in english and last 2 of 5 concentrations kind of REVOLVE aroudn art and need to be in next week TT^TT I STILL haven't fucking finished birthday presents for :iconcobrared: and :iconshardsofmidnight: and I feel FUCKING HORRIBLE about it. I'll probably end up sending you both tangible Christmas gifts via snail mail for Christmas, because any more art and I'll die. And they'll have to be awesome gifts to make up for my sucktacular lack of birthday present drawings. UGH. I'M SO SORRY GUYS.It also doesn't help that I have to do avi art for someone on Gaia and I haven't logged on in a while because it isn't done...

Christmas:
So Christmas is coming up and I DEMAND wishlists from the following people:
:iconshardsofmidnight:
:iconghost-man:
:iconcobrared:
:iconcocoaferret:
:iconeyesinfinity:
In your DA journals please! And, for my sake, please make them things I can buy and send through snailmail and not a request for a drawing because A) I think you'd want something better than my craptacular art and B) As you can see, any requests for art get put QUICKLY on the backburner, and I don't want to give any late Christmas gifts. The stuff can be whatever, and preferably make a list of about 5-10 things ^_____^ I love giving presents if I have the money! XD

Also, on that note, do send me your mail addresses (if you're in college, then both your college and home addresses)! It'd be kind of hard to get a present to you when I don't know where you live. XP

<rant>

Also, if someone else insinuates ONE MORE FUCKING TIME that I should date my friend Dylan/I can't ONLY be friends with a guy, I am going to SCREAM. Now I have my mom, my brother, Dylan's brother, and my whole basketball team on my case, saying how we should date/"how are you only friends?"/"we are totally meant for eachother"/"guys have only one thing in mind when you're alone with them: date" For fuck's sake people! ESPECIALLY Dylan's brother Colin. I swear, it's like he's some perverse cupid or something.

I also have a sty on my left eye, so now sport a cute little Quasie Moto (is that how you spell it?) look. Itches all to hell, but I'm too afraid to scratch it because when i did a few hours ago, it turned red, and has STAYED red. UGH.

</rant>

Well, that's all for now. I shouldn't be updating for a while due to finals in two weeks (lucky for you all, I won't be killing your inboxes :D )

2. Do you own an iPod?

3. What person on your friends list do you talk to the most?
Eeeerrrrrrr, probably Shards, Ghost, Cobra, and Cocoa

4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
On a school day: 4:45, 5:00, and 7:00
On the weekend: either 8:00 or 10:00, depending on if I have something to do like practice

5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Yeah, twas mah best girlfriend on the cheek when we were about 6-7 because she had just gotten the BEST PRESENT IN THE FUCKING WORLD. Ah youth, you can do anything and it isn't weird, then you grow up and people are all, "WTF?" :iconnotimpressedplz:

Never. Too creepy.

12. What cd is currently in your cd player?
CD Player? I haven't seen one of those in AGES...almost makes me sad....

TURNING IN THESE FUCKING APPLICATIONS AND GOING TO COLLEGE. EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN JUST NEEDS TO DISAPPEAR.

19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?

20. Do you own any band t-shirts?
Naw

29. What did you do before this?
Read an AkuRoku fanfic called, "Where the Wild Things Are" :iconicameplz:

Never.

Ate. Played FFVII. Ate some more. Played Catch Phrase. Molested Cloud. You know, the usual.

35. Do you use sarcasm?
Yes. All the time. (And no, that answer was surprisingly not sarcastic. I really do.) And actually, it's SARDONIC, not SARCASTIC.

18. I'm going to finally be legal! AND HO DAMN AM I JUMPING IN THAT VOTING BOOTH FOR GOVERNER.

38. Have you ever been to six flags?
No.....but I want to.... WHO WANTS TO GO TO SIX FLAGS WITH ME?! 8D

39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex?

As long as there's Mayo with it.

41. Do you sleep on your side?
Yes.

Razor, what razor? *looks at hairy legs* ...TMI again?

50. What is your blood-type?
I...I have no idea O_____O

51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Eh, I think the better question would be " Who would want to be tied to ME for 24 hours?" XD

52. What is a rumour someone has spread about you?
On Kairos. My roommate, I'm not too fond of her, but she would always fall asleep during the breaks, so I always woke her up when it was time to regroup from our rooms. Well, the ONE time I woke her up about 2 minutes late, she proceeds to tell everyone how I didn't wake her up, she woke up on her own, and how I made us BOTH late. It was MY fault. KTHANX, you can wake up on your own next time.

That wasn't really a rumor, but the thought came to mind. Other than that I haven't heard any rumors, but that doesn't mean they're not out there.

Sleep. Or if someone was in there with me, strike up a conversation and then proceed to have a dance party with just the two of us, guy or girl. And if there's more than just two people, including me, I'd offer to play a game like hang man or charades or just keep to myself and text someone.

59. What’s your favourite kind of gum?
I'm starting to get addicted to this 5 Gum business

60. T or F: All’s fair in love and war?
No. That is possibly the stupidest phrase ever uttered.

61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Wasn't this answered earlier??? :iconnotimpressedplz:

62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
Yes? No? Wha? But doesn't using it correctly imply you have some idea of the meaning... if you didn't, you probably wouldn't be using it correctly or in the right context... which I HAVE done XD

63. Do you like to sleep?
Sleep is like my personal whore. Whenever I want it, I do it, and will do it until bored or persuaded to stop, and usually finish THOROUGHLY satisfied. Unless interrupted before I'm ready to finish of course.

No, and I never will be :iconhurrplz:

74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
I actually had a discussion with someone recently about this. ATM, I do not believe I have a BEST friend persay. As for the good friends, they're everywhere!

75. Do you have a tan?
Sometimes. But apparently not enough since I'm often considered white XD
