Wow. Lots can happen in two days.

The wedding went alright. ...The wedding dress and bridesmaid dress were actually only finished at four o' clock on the day of the wedding; the wedding started at five. X_X

Yeah, well, that whole wedding thing was the reason why I disappeared on friday. Oh~ And they had these lychee martini things that smelled sooooo good, but my mommy told me that it was vodka and that it burned on the way down--like cough syrup. Bleh. And she said I wouldn't like the lychee thing floating in it because it had been soaked in alcohol for days before. TT.TT I wanted lychee~~~ It smelled so yummy. But alas, I don't really like the taste of alcohol.

And then we went hiking the next day. We had to wake up at SEVEN AM. TT______________TT Why, you ask? Well, it became our brilliant idea to hike this point all the way on the other side of the island. See, it's this really nice place. There's no road out there, actually. It was interesting to see the car drive over the dirt path. xD And when ya get out there, to the very, very point it's amazing. You can see the waves coming from two sides of the island and crash into each other. And then if you turn around, you can see the mountain dividing the two sides of the mountain. It's sooooo nice.

But we were sooooo tired after. TT.TT Two and a half miles, hah! They liiiiieeee. It was so definitely not two and a half. Maybe the inner trail was two and a half, but the whole thing? Noooooo. >_<

Then we went to go eat lunch and shave ice. ^^ Very yummy. Hey, dragon, have you ever been to Matsumoto's? If not, you've gotta go. It's awesome stuff. ^^

And then I had to go to work... and stand for six hours, while my legs felt like they were going to fall off. TT.TT

And today I fell asleep in church. ,_, It's not just from yesterday, but this morning was my eldest brother's last time with us. He just left to go back to California. TT_____TT I want my aniki back~ Anywho, he wanted to go to Eggs n' Things, another awesome place, so we woke up at SIX THIRTY IN THE MORNING to go. Why did I do it? Why? ...but the eggs benedict was veeeeery good. x3

Anywho, time to nap now.

Is mastumoto's the shave ice place that is covered in tourist? if not ,I still might have gone, where is it??????

Work for 8 hours on a sunday is hell.

Did Dragon see my new pictures on facebook yet?

I had quite a bit of fun yesterday! I was at the mall with Jenn and Mary all afternoon and today I went to mass with Beth.

Hey, for my spring break, should I go home or participate in a mission trip?

Yes, matsumoto's is covered in tourists. It's out on the... far side of the island. *doesn't know the geography of the island* xD

And yes, I hate awkward silence on the phone. It's horrible. It's why I prefer chatting online. There is awkward silence, but it's not as bad.

Oh, and speaking of spring break, am I still allowed to invade your house? I was thinking about it and yeah. I think I could afford it after working all those stupidly long hours. @[email protected]

And we're gonna eat more lamb tonight! Yay! ^^

you are still allowed to come invade my house if ya want, and yes I have been there, the tourists are insane. silence in the phone, even if they are thinking is all weird, especially with no background sound.

Yeah, that type of silence makes me think that the other person's phone went dead.

Oh is this more of the lamb I gave your family. I wish I could ship meat!!!!! Must eat it here when/if you come. Please come!!!! My posts are so short now, they should get long again when I go back to school. What day do you come in??

Yes, it's the lamb from you. xD It's quite yummy. Psyrien luffs lamb. ^^

And I come in on Saturday... Leave on Friday, so yeah, come in on Saturday. I don't wanna go back! Don't let them make me! It's WARM here! It's warm enough for me to complain about it being cold at 75 degrees! I like being able to just walk around outside in a tank top and shorts. I don't wanna go back! Don't make me! Don't make me! TT_______________TT

And the FOOD. You CAN'T make me leave all this good food behind! Rice~~~~ Nice, yummy, local rice~~~ Miiiiiiiineeeee. And WATER. Hawaiian tap water~~~ I think I might get dehydrated again when I first go up. I gag like every time I drink the water there. It wasn't so bad at the end of the semester, but it was horrible in the beginning. TT.TT I like the Hawaii tap water~

And I'm supposed to be working on Soi Fong right now. The hakama is actually sitting next to me right now, but it has me slightly baffled. It was once clear in my head how they were to fit together, but I've now become confused because I started thinking about pleating and gah. I know there's supposed to be a back pleat, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do it now or later. >_< I might have to wait for my mommy... except my mommy will come home when I'm at work, so bah. -.- I guess I'll have to hunt for the stuff online or something.

I'm wondering if I'll actually finish this. See, I still have to do the top and gloves. ...although the gloves really shouldn't be that difficult. I think I need to get a slightly more stretchy material for that. ...and I could actually make those on the mainland.

Oh! Heeeeeey. If I go to your house during spring break, does that mean I have access to a sewing machine at that time? ^__________________^ That would make life so much easier. I could just make the gloves at your house. I would like to have the hakama and top done by the time I leave, but we'll see.

...I should get back to work. Toodles.

nee-chan, you make the ♥ by pressing the alt key and the 3 on the number pad at once... number pad, is that what you call the thing on the side of the keyboard that has all the numbers?

I think dragon has a sewing machine. Oh! If psyrien comes home with Dragon during their spring break, I get to meet Psyrien! I MIGHT GET TO MEET DRAGON'S TWIN!!! *bounces*

Yummy yummy ramen. Though I'd rather have ramune... which I almost typed instead of Ramen. *sweat drop*

Dragon~ Xepher is still stuck in my head! Understandable since you played it about 30 times on Sunday, but... its stuck! and only a certian phrase of it, where it gets pretty on the 67th note on basic level.

And I wonder if I still have the parts where the jumps are memorized. The last song was fun though. It entertains me how you told me to tell you to stop and it stopped on Xepher. *grins*

¬ ˚ ∆ ø ˆ¨¶ • ª µ § ¶ ...

Waaaaah. The heart thingie doesn't work for meeeeeee. TT_______________TT

<3

There. Heart. xD

And I have two things sewn for my hakama! Buwahahahaha. ...hakama actually really aren't that hard to make once you figure it out. My only problem right now it the pleats. But see, I've always had problems with pleats. They confuse me to no end. Thus I will wait till my mommy gets home so she can help me with the pleats. ^^

And then I have to make that rather scanty top that I'm not sure will properly stay on me... I could just make the top with sleeves for modesty's sake, but it wouldn't be the same. ...well, if you look in the anime, she's got a white halter thing under, but if you look in the manga, nothing's there. I don't know what to do~. >_< It actually looks better without the halter, but yeah.

And I'm definitely wearing shorts under there. That's just a bit too revealing for my taste. >_>

But I shall have a black hakama~ Buwahahaha! x3

What you could get (I don't really know if they are sold in stores, but I think you could get it like this...) is kind of a strechy, clear plastic ribbon type thing. It doesn't show, but I doubt it will be strong.

There is roll-on glue stuff that could hold it up (people use it in various places), or something like it might be double stick tape (though that would be painful)

Or, go to a fabric store and get ribbons that are as close to your skin color as possible (they sometimes have ribbons that are semi-sheer) and make thin straps on the shoulders.

And yes, pleats are a pain. You have to pin half of them down one way, and the other half the other way and then go sew them carefully, in the direction it's pinned so the maching won't eat it first, maybe even baste in the pleats by hand first so you don't get stabbed to death by pins.

And Nee-chan, as far as the mission trip/ coming home, think about it this way - you either get to see people in Boulder again (even teachers since I'll be stuck in school) or, you can do fun religious type stuff. Probably will be kinda similar to mountain madness but you'll be doing voleenter stuff like youth group did at the homeless shelter with food and all.

Would you rather help people, or come home and have mom do laundry for you and switch out some of your winter clothes for spring/may type clothes?

So wow, I was defiantly on for some of these posts. I am just plain stupid. Yes twin might come to colorado, that would make my day, also I am bringing lots of rice possibly to chicago. Yes lots and lots of rice, anyway, as for revealing, I know the feeling, mine is revealing for me, but hey whatever, revealing in front of people I don't know and fan people is funny. I haven't found black shorts, I keep needing to go to savers and don't. And my laundry, well. You don't see it so it is all good I swear.

FF8? Beg beg, I want it, I will steal it friday, and you will get it later. I am so glad to be coming home, and I actually might have more money right now in my account than ever before, and yeah, cash is semi plentiful too. Proud of self and not spending yet. (stares at manga).

Also just bought .hack//fragment!!!! Do I need to say more than rare and it is .hack and um, never released in the U.S. and no intention and um, must find import PS2 now and yeah, see brain not good. But yes did buy it, now to keep money for art clay silver. Can I use your kit pysrien???? I so don't want to buy own kit unless I must if yours is going to be there :) Oh, someone paid me 12 dollars for making a bracelet out of chain mail, me happy. It was so easy to make, could do it in one class, but yeah. Yeah free materials. Also if I sold my chain mail bags, they go for like 55-75 ohh, 3 weeks of work for money, now if only the people had the market to buy them...

I like art work equal free money. Ok long post I shall stop ranting now. Chris was amused I started conversation, should I not have? I am eating strawberries!!!! Oh drew a pretty dragon with a white lily for a gift if I do give it in pastels, and I did a chocolate dragon out of cookies with the chocolate as the glue, I owe my boss for that (but not alot, mom pays :)

Oh, kasorin, did you go to beads beads beads on pearl to do my Christmas gift??????? Just curious. And okamimyst, be less bored I hope!

RANDOM:

I am tired, writing my spanish oral, and I'm about to sleep :]

Had an argument with boyfriend, stressed out about finals, I'm screwed.

x]

Awww. *gives Heatbeats a hug* Hope your spanish oral and finals go well and that things work out with your boyfriend!

...I would lend you my black shorts, but the problem is that I require them for my costume. xD So... problem. Or you could just make them. They really aren't that hard. But of course, you could just be lazy and buy them. It actually might be more convenient time-wise to buy them.

And yesh, you may use my silver kit as long as you buy your own clay. ...I'm guessing we'll need to get propane too (for that little torch thing). ...I really hope that they still have kits. >_>

Hmm... Double stick tape. That's actually an interesting idea. But I'm guessing that it probably wouldn't work because I would sweat and it wouldn't be sticky and oh no! Scandal! Yeah... And I don't really wanna make straps on it because I'm such a stickler for making it exact. Like I go grr to the people who try to substitute the halter with a plain camisole. It's not right!!! <-See, the evidence of my anger--me abusing punctuation. xD

Mommy said she'd do my pleats and the rest for me if i cut the other pieces. ^^v Score! What would I do without my mommy?

The only other thing that worries me for the cosplay is my hair. Yes, I will cut it to be like Soi Fong's tomorrow, but it will grow out to look like my hair now--which does not look like Soi Fong's because it's a tad too long. ...I'm planning on getting it but extra short, but I don't think I could get it cut short enough to accommodate all that growth without getting a boy's haircut. >_< Meh. I guess I'll just have to ask my hairdresser tomorrow. ...but there's no way I'm getting it cut up there right before the con. I trust no one with my hair but my hairdresser. Well, I could trust a high class salon because hey, I'm paying for them to listen to me, right? But I would not trust a ten dollar hair cut in china town. Neveeeeeer. My braids~~~~. You will not touch them! *hisses*

</overprotective hair rant>

Noooooo. Where is everyone? TT.TT Well, I'm gonna post now because I'll probably forget what I wanted to say later.

Anywho, I wanted to say that I got my haircut and it's longer than I wanted it to be... *sighs* It's gonna be suuuuper long by the time it's con. Maybe I will have to find a hairdresser up there or something. >_>

Dragon, I may drag you with me because this is for the sake of con, and it's all your fault that I'm supposed to be cosplaying this year. -.-

Last day of work~ Wheeeee! ^^ ...except that means I have to leave--like now. *flees*

Hello! I'm not dead!

if you drag me that will be fine, cause yeah um, I wouldn't ask Liz to go with you, my hair is precious, and liz cuts her own and wouldn't understand and ::hiss:: I like my hair. So found out one of my old friends who I don't talk to now has boy long hair cut (the one that is like shaggy but at shoulder length) i love my hair!! Ironically was talking to okamimyst on the phone about hair, I like mine long, and i don't think short other than chinese style short works at all on me, but then I look like my mom or my aunt.........eeeeeek.

(end of protective hair rant 2)

As for shorts was hoping to go to savers to get, I might on friday or something. Um as for everything else, yeah art clay silver, and I wonder if 30% plus then our student discount works?? that would be awesome. Got some carving tools, and fun shop stuff, not too much. Black shorts are so much easier if I just find.....I jsut realized I probably should shave for con, but I don't wanna, it ruins

Stupid towes that are all bubble and open looking (marine towers) is ahck, on TV. Bad Bad me recognizes them!!!

Your mom is awesome for doing that, I would so go for it at that point too, I do it all myself, but yeah not really getting some parts all knitted done by kasorin and her mom :) Yeah them!! What would I do without mommys!!!!
yeah heiyuu isn't dead!!

Mommy's are indeed awesome. ^^

LKWEjdSIOFKNew. I HATE IRONING HAKAMA. It's so stupidly difficult. Pleats. Pleats. I loathe working with them, but i love the style. They're a pain to sew and a pain to iron, but they look nice. xD

I got to go to the tide pools today! I caught lots of hermit crabs. ^^ There were TONS of pipihi, but we only got two fishies. The fishies are always the hardest to catch. Hermit crabs are my favorites. They're just so cool. ^^

And I hopefully got a tan? Not too sure if I'm any darker. We weren't out there for a long time. Meh. Oh well.

Must get back to sewing!

yes, well my mom got mad at me. So i am officially too tired to do much, but yeah found you a gift for birtdhay, early present, really early, but still.....I'll celebrate your half birthday with me, or something of that...MWHAHAHA yeah another quality of twinness. Oh so did Liz ever paly FFX cause I have the game, need to bring more up. And I lost copy of .hack 1 and 2 from old set, but Erick is giving me his!!!! happy dragon dance, happy dragon dance.

I'm pretty sure she played FFX because she said she played FFX-2, and she had to have played FFX first, right? ...or she could've just committed great unspeakable blasphemy of final fantasy games. ...She might have. *sighs*

Huzzah for half birthdays! ^^ Speaking of birthdays, I got your birthday present today... which is amazingly made in Colorado. xD My mommy bought it and then looked at it and went "oh, she may have this already." *sweatdrops* But yeah, even if you do have it, it's one of those things that it's alright to have more of. ^^

AND THE HAKAMA IS DONE. NYWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I WILL RULE THE WORLD. AND I RAN ABOUT LIKE A LUNATIC WEARING IT AND PRETENDING TO SHUNPO ALL AROUND THE HOUSE. XD

I'm not a dork. Really. I swear. xDDD

I love my mommy.

Now to do the top. I think I've got it pretty figured out. The only problem is that I have like less than a day left to do it. >_> And I've gotta pack tomorrow. Great.

...I don't wanna leave. I don't wanna go back to school. I love my family. I really do. I like getting hugs and kisses goodnight from my mommy and daddy every single night. I like having home-cooked meals and good food. I like not having to wear like five layers of clothing just to walk outside. I like being able to just sit outside in the nice warm sun. I like being able to see pretty asian boys normally (I have this theory that being cut off from them makes me slightly desperate and therefore affects my judgement). I like my bed--my nice low bed that I can just collapse onto. I like my menagerie of stuffed animals. i like my little library of books in the corner. I like my BIG messy room. I like my shorts; I didn't so much before, but I love them now.

When I first came home, I didn't really like the lack of freedom, but now I would gladly trade that for my family. Meh. I guess I just can't make up my mind. Or maybe I just adapt too well.

And sorry we couldn't answer our phone. We just got a new one today (it's purple!), and thusly failed to hear it ring. TT.TT And then by the time I found out that you called, I remembered that there was a large time difference and it would be very late. >_> So yeah....

*glomps you* I'll see you soon.

Dragon, if you want we can go to Savers tomorrow. And then you can come and play FFVIII. I finished one of the armwarmers and I want to try it on you.

*dances a dance similar to the happy dragon dance* I get to go to a college road trip. Spending a weekend at UE will be FUUUUNNN!!!

And I'll take pictures and be happy and... and... My legs still hurt from Karate on Wednesday, and then a private on Thursday and then pushing one of the wheelchairs today in gym. ick. and I had no internet or anything over the past 24 hours. Stupid power cord dieing on me

blargh. BUT I'M BACK!!!

ah, well tomorrow I am busy till late, going to magic tournament, when does saver's close?? Gah, stupid depression hit me here a few days ago, and I feel the not wanting to work effort, but I can't be with my light cause I am not home!!!!

I need FFVIII also why weren't you at aniem club, showed fun stuff.

gundam 00
moyashimon (tales of agriculture)
persona trinity soul
rosario + vampire

people didn't complain much too :) yeah, that was fun, wow lots of fan girls, it is insane.

you can do the happy dragon dance too.

As for my birthday present, that is ironic, but I wonder what it is. also it is possible Liz has only played FFX-2 cause she likes it so much....

Have fun flying, see you in a day and a half, be home then, I wonder when my roommate comes back, maybe never.

AGH. It's so bloody cold here. TT_______________TT I don't like it. I wanna go home where it's proper to be sweating under five thick layers of clothing--not shivering.

I don't really wanna unpack. Stupid huge suitcases. Bah. And I have way too much stuff in my room. I don't know what to do with my cardboard chair and that bin of wood. They take up too much space.

Oh! And I brought up a humongous rice cooker for our group's Christmas present. ^^ Lots of rice. Now I wonder who's actually here right now... But I don't think I'll actually go outside to see anyone. I'm too lazy and it's too cold. THREE DEGREES. AGH. SINGLE DIGITS. X_X

And I should go unpack... *sighs*

Yikes! That's pretty cold.

It's cold in IN, too. We had a lot of heavy, wet snow the other day, but it's all gone now. It was fun when it was snowing, though. Everyone went outside and had a ginormous snow ball fight. I stayed inside where it was warm.

Right now, my feet feel like ice cubes. I even have socks on and they're still so cold that they hurt. I wish our heater would work better. And that the bathroom would syop smelling so horrible. I can't wait for Moore to be renovated this summer!

Bad news. I'm supposedly overdrawn and I have no idea how that happened because my balancing shows that I should still have $20. But, somehow, I'm overdrawn. Which means they charge me $6 every day that I'm overdrawn. And I can't do anything about it until Tuesday. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Not the greatest of days today.

Aww, that overdrawing thing sucks. We had another friend here who did the same thing and it was crazy.

Being here is slightly depressing. It's so lonely~ TT.TT I miss my family. I know I have my "family" too--it's how I consider all my friends in college because that's sorta how we function--but I haven't gone to see anyone today yet. It's partly from laziness, loathing of the cold, and a stubbornness about wanting to cling to my family family. I love my college friends. I do. But it's not the same. I can't hug and kiss my mommy goodnight every night, and I really miss it.

And I'm rediscovering that I can't properly cry here. Like, I guess I can tear, but I can't actually bawl like I really wanna. I don't know why... It could be some psychological thing about not being able to actually be truly alone--I don't like crying in front of people. If I want to cry, I'm going to run away and hide somewhere and not want to be bothered. It's not that it's a bad thing. There are times when I just want to cry and then afterwards I'll feel silly but better. ...but I can't do it front of people. I can't even cry in my own dorm room because I'm afraid my roommate's gonna come bursting in and discover me. Or I dunno, maybe architecture school is sapping my emotions away. xD

It's just that I feel kinda empty right now. And I would like to see people, but why should I? For the hell of it. Yeah. But it's cold. And it's getting late. And I really don't wanna change out of my shorts to go see them. Yes, it's like three degrees outside and I'm still wearing shorts. I can't help it. I got used to it in Hawaii.

Meh.

Dragon, I want you here now~~~~. TT_______TT

Oh yeah, and I finished Soi Fong. Buwahahahaha! ^^v *does dragon's happy dance* xD
