Saturday
:: Makamaka all day w/ Black*Star/bluestraggler. I totally am not used to being stopped left and right, it was nice. Maybe I need to stop cosplaying from obscure series. XD;
:: Bought a sexy PMK doujin. Overpriced from "Come get your man love" guy's booth but the prettyness made me feel better.
:: Bought Something Colorful, an artbook anthology of sorts of fanart artists. Got a happy free print w/ it. :3

:: Epic shuttle adventure to the Westin Bonaventure for shabushabusushi. Note to self: Do not eat at hotel restaurants ever again. Forgot how pricey they can be. @__@;
:: Met aah, I'm bad w/ names. Nia and Jo? They made such a cute Black*Star and Tsubaki pair. X3 We never did take a proper pic together did we?

Sunday
:: Kinda only bought a Friday/Saturday badge but they weren't really checking so I went anyway.

:: ziggybecket : It's weird that I've seen you so many times this month, but it was great seeing you. I still think you should still move down here. XD

AX this year totally felt like an epic gathering of friends rather than a con. I don't know if it's cuz I commuted or what. But it was fun nonetheless despite the few frustrations that were to be had but that was really no one's fault at all.

I'mma attempt to upload the photos I took this weekend along w/ the ones taken at muzek's party a few weeks ago sometime this week. Sorry for the wait!

Augh, I can't walk, sit, or stand w/o hurting. Why am I so soreee? ;___;

AUGH, FUCK MY LIFE.

Maka is DONE. But her scythe...well that's another story. :|

Sorry, this Maka won't have a weapon. :(

...Hrm, does anyone randomly know someone who has Maka's scythe? And that maybe I can borrow it?

:: Maka shoes are almost done! I just need the belts that go around her calves.

( Shoesies. )

They look kinda cute. XD

Oh and I'll fold them down cuz I'm ghetto like that (and I totally didn't want to buy a new pair of boots after I lost the bid on this one pair that was perfect).

:: Hrm, anyone know what kinda glue would stick sculpey to fabric? Two ppl mentioned hot glue. Yay? Nay? Other suggestions?

:: At work, Nard and I were talking about how you tend to draw better of have more dynamic poses when you're confined to an area in which you can draw. So I drew a shape for him and he did one for me, this was the result:

( Doodle. Noodle. )

His arm is like noodley and weird...XD; Ah well.

♡ the 『feel good』 anonymous meme ☆ﾐ

:: ycysusan, I know you wanted a sewing party. Is Sunday okay?

:: ...oh rawr. The sweater vest I bought for Maka doesn't really work. The collar isn't low enough and it's a bit too long. >_<; I don't know if you can even modify knitted garments. Can you?

Or I guess I won't wear one, so much for me trying to be accurate. But at least I won't be as hot?

:: ( Uh, Maka wig progress & question. )

Ok so, bangs I still have to deal with cuz lol it came like that, guess it's been in that bag for a LONG time. I think I need to trim the pigtails and straighten it, it's a bit too wavy and teehee girly for Maka atm.

But the question is, the back part. Does that look really hideous? It's not as bad as I thought it'd be but you can still see the uh mesh part. I don't really want to do the whole add extension to parting thing unless I absolutely have to (not that I have enough time atm either...).

:: ( Question about patterns. )

I was trying to work on the pleated skirt last nite and uh well. I'm confused. :\

Do I fold together the lines that go like / \ or the lines that go like \ /. I'm assuming it's / \ but uh, the pic up there, there's an odd line out. O__o; Anddd when I pinned it using the / \ lines, the seams totally show which I'm pretty sure shouldn't...

It's Simplicity's cheerleader pattern, 9806.

Heellppp. DX;

:: ( Bad kitty is too cute. )
Darn little bugger kept on coming back on the pattern whenever I'd move him off. XD;

Here's the product of my boredom at work.

( Kidd is prolly going 'NOT SYMMETRICALLLL DX' rite about now. )

Btw, hybrid_twist, I think Stein has like light gray and dark gray on his shirt. Not brown.

Anndd~ Does Maka have buttons on both sides of her cuffs? O__o; I thought of it but couldn't tell when I watched ep 8 and 9 rite now.

♥ Kidd and Black*Star's adventure and oooo Stein is coool. XDD Oh gosh, I haven't ever really been dorky enough to want to re-enact scenes from a show but SE has SO MANY I'd love to do or have ppl do. *cough*parasol+book*cough*

This weekend was spent at shupoo and Finni's place w/ unlock and ycysusan. We had sewing times, drinky times, and food times. It was fun and I actually got shit done!

( Seeee. )

If for some reason I can't find a striped green tie by AX, does anyone have one I can borrow on AX Friday?

Thank you so much for letting us use your place and feeding us, shupoo! ♥

Oh god, I found another new manga series to read. Anyone heard of 07-Ghost?

Apparently, it started wayyy back in 2005 and only has like 6 volumes so far...whut? Lol.

The story's different and interesting and the characters are likeable but also different enough to not be stereotypical. The art is also pretty. *__*

Uhm, so the story's about this amnesiac boy named Teito, an ex-student of the empire's military academy being pursued by the imperial army. He finds himself refuge in the empire's church and meets the crazy eclectic clergymen and creatures that live there. A tragic event concerning his best friend leads to a spiral of events that have him on a quest to find out about his past, sort out his present, and involve him in the affairs of the Gods themselves as he finds himself at the center of the conflict between Verloren, the God of Death, and the mysterious “beings of light” sent by Heaven to oppose him: the 07 Ghosts.

I wanna do Teito in that outfit. *points at first pic*

( Have some more pretty pics. )
