[19 Jan 2005|04:45pm] [ mood | drained ] My mind! My mind! *voomph* XO I am so... brain dead! Plane flight... school... work... no sleep... blaaaaggaa.... *zones out* Wah, I'm up! Erm, anyway... I've probably slept a total of seven hours over the past three days. Of course planes are wonderful "timely" things... Flight was delayed. Arrived home at 3AM on monday morning. Woke up at 6AM. Went to school. Had a mountain of homework, plus a project due the next day. Got few hours of sleep. Woke up Tuesday, went to school, had even MORE homework, got a another three(-ish) hours of sleep. And today is Wednesday... right? I need a nap. @.@ Since classes are a bit less strenuous tomorrow, I may try to sew something for Shinzou. Have an outfit in mind which I'd like to try out. Other than that... I'm just blowing off everything else. post comment

@_@! [16 Jan 2005|11:24pm] [ mood | accomplished ] Finally, some time to update (a bit ^-^; ) Had the convention thing today, which was pretty cool. Met a bunch of people, and we all exchanged bits of writing and whatnot. Everyone is really nice, and a few of us are about to go out for some later dinner (which is why I must run!). Surprisingly, there were quite a few newspaper/magazine editors that really liked my work. o_O (How can they like that crap? XDD) So they gave me their information and asked me to contact them about projects in the near future. ^o^" Must run! Being yanked away from the computer. @_@ post comment

Hello from Las Vegas! [15 Jan 2005|07:31pm] [ mood | tired ] Whelp, here I am in Las Vegas ((Of course, you would've known this yesterday if stupid LJ didn't go down. >_<+). The flight was nice, especially considering I brought my laptop with me. ^-^ Ah... wireless internet. XD Since it was so short, they served no food (except for a tiny packet of pretzels and beverages). X3; Didn't really matter though... for some reason, I'm never hungry while flying. *shrugs* Today I met up with some people from this writer-event thing. I'm not too clear on all the details (didn't read the guidebook like 'saacho' suggested ^-^; ), but it seems pretty cool. They want to start submitting bits of my work (articles, mostly) to different people, because apparently someone recommended me? o_o? Tomorrow is the "big" gathering. I didn't realize this until today, but this event is -really- tiny! O_o They said that only about fifteen other people were invited, all around my age and from different states. I guess they pulled people from different regions of the US. Still, I'm excited to meet everyone. The people running the event are thinking of pulling everyone together to work on a big project. Though I have no idea what it will be ^-^;; (no information has been released yet). Anyway,, I can't wait to get home. So much for having a nice, restful long weekend. ;-; I took some pictures of my guys before I left, so I'm gonna work on Broken Watches a little bit. Finally have a second to breathe. Again, thank the heavens for a wireless internet connection! ^O^ post comment

Finally, Did Some Work on the Site [13 Jan 2005|11:07pm] [ mood | contemplative ] Volá. Improved Broken Watches. Added many pictures, and finally put in stupid comments. Also, did a little photostory about Rei's new passion: Harry Potter. http://hiddendollfieangels.tripod.com/id33.html Too bad I don't have enough money to buy him the rest of the books. ^-^; Darn. *snaps fingers* XD; For some future picture plans, I'd really like to have Shinzou and Rei be wearing outfits that complement one another. I'm contemplating ideas for a new picture on the home page, since Christmas is long gone. Hmm, but what to do... So tired. @_@ I hate this schedule. Now excuse me while I go: KYAAAA! http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k14037541 I MUST have that guitar! ;-; post comment

X.x [13 Jan 2005|12:03am] [ mood | ah? ] Busy busy... I've been asked to do more writing for that newspaper. @_@ Can you say, no more free time? XO; First my school schedule goes crazy, leaving me to run around like a madman, and then I have something else to eat up the rest of my free time. >_<; Damn it all. But... I'm doing it, despite how evil the whole 'newspaper article' process is. Ehhh. *leans back in chair* I'm not in a very social mood this... month. XD At least, not to go around and interview people. School's annoying/hard enough as it is. XDDD Gahahaha. My editor left. This made me laugh, in a sad and pitiful way. This is all I can muster for now. Must go sleep. e.e post comment

La La... Ho Hum [11 Jan 2005|11:31pm] [ mood | blah ] Had a small photo shoot with Rei today. New shorts. XD And a debut appearance of his new big boots. Aaand, here's Shinzou's eyebrows. *despertly in love with them* They were inspired by a friends F-28. ^-^; *sigh* This evil camera... I hate it to bits. >_< It's so difficult to take non-fuzzy pictures, because even the slightest shift of the hand makes the picture blurry. And it makes the subject of the picture look terrible. Grr... I'm so frustrated with it. If I wasn't broke, that thing would be out the window. I'm trying so very hard to sew a shirt. ;-; But I keep messing up~ Hopefully, I'll eventually make a successful one. *prays* And be able to sell it for some money... even a little bit. Gonna list some stuff on ebay soon. My wallet is really... er, taking a hit right now. ^-^; Finally got the Tokyo Boy Story RP going! I hope all will go well... and more people will join. Things seem to be slowing down at Meimu Chôson u.u which is odd because I -know- there are people out there who would like to give their BJD a place to chat. Trying to advertise, but I'm running out of places! *panics* Ah, I like my journal's new layout. It's a nice change. post comment

Eyebrows... [10 Jan 2005|10:56am] [ mood | artistic ] [ music | Billy Joel ] Last night, I modified Shinzou's eyebrows and tightened his stringing a bit. His new eyebrows look so cute! *o* I can't get over them. XP They're much darker and thicker than before, but ohhh they suit his personality so well! ^O^" Will take pictures soon, once I get some new batteries for my camera. ^-^; post comment

Oh My XD [09 Jan 2005|11:42am] [ mood | hungry ] So yesterday while babysitting, one of the girls mentioned she had an American Girl Samantha. Right away, I perked up and was all dolly happy, even if this wasn't a BJD situation. She brought her out and showed me all the cute little accessories. ^-^ And one of them caught my eye. o_O It's an American Girl Today Briefcase, with all these cute pockets and such. And it would be absolutely perfect for Shinzou! *o* It's just too cute, so I'm hunting around for one now. ^-^; Besides an 'eventful' night of watching the disney channel and playing with balloons, I managed $66.00 (within that is quite a generous tip! o_o) and a nice, peaceful drive home. I love it when there is no one on the road. And the rain actually stopped for a bit, so I could see where I was going! XDD Yum. Muffins are in the oven. They're making me very hungry. -Still- no application for a Tsukasa yet! o_o! Oh well, I'm probably going to just start the RP already, and if someone wants to jump in as him... that's fine. I thought there were more 'role players' involved in the BJD world. Hm, well hopefully I'll find some soon. Must keep advertising! post comment

Ch-ch-ch-changes! [08 Jan 2005|11:36am] [ mood | bored ] HolyWhatThe? I go away for a few hours, and DoA changes! O_o The layout looks great, but it really took me by surprise. After all this time, I was really used to the simple layout like before, so this is going to take some getting used to. ^-^; But it looks nice! Much easier to navagate and find desired subjects. Finally started searching for a Tsukasa. Hopefully I'll recruit one, and some made-ups along the way. I want to get the RP started! *dying to* Okay, aside from babysitting today, I really want to update my website. It's raining, so there's not much else to do except the dreaded homework. >_>; Maybe I should take a photoshoot... X3 post comment

O_o [07 Jan 2005|03:31pm] [ mood | tired ] Holy hell! $400 starting bid/$600 BIN for a Miny may? (ebay) o_o I nearly paid $600 for a large SD13 sized boy! >_>; Some people are getting greedy.... Anyway, I'm so damn tired. After a good night's sleep, I'll be able to update everything. But for now, Tae's mind needs a rest. @_@ post comment

Tiiired [06 Jan 2005|10:52pm] [ mood | exhausted ] Oh man, everything online-wise is piling on top of me! @_@ Damn you school, you leave me no time to make updates! Today was good, but I kept thinking about home. Bah, I really need to touch up Broken Watches too. The image galleries... >_>; *shivers in horror* Also, I've been exhausted from getting no sleep. I'm too tired to even... *yawn*... type. Geh, expect long posts on friday/beyond. For now, I'm too sleepy. u.u post comment

<3" [05 Jan 2005|09:10pm] [ mood | drained ] I am just bursting with BJD love right now. All day, while at school and getting back into the (dreadful) flow of things, I couldn't stop thinking about getting home and seeing my boys. It sort of gave me hope to get through the day. ^o^ I am just so tired right now, I can't even give a full up date. @_@ Must shower... then bed. Yes, bed. Mmm, comfy. post comment

Blah, Tuesday [04 Jan 2005|02:05pm] [ mood | bored ] I really want to change the set up of my room. My three boys are over there, all comfy on their couch, and I'm really feeling distanced from them when on the computer/watching tv/reading/whatever. Is this normal? O_o Feeling distanced when they're only five feet away? *shrugs* I'd love to have them by my computer, so I can gaze at them while webpages load (yes, they take forever since AOL sucks, and yes I'm too lazy to crane my neck around and look at them XD) Problem: I have a laptop. And I like to keep it closed when not in use to prevent a dusty screen (so they can't lean against it). Also, the whole outlet situation in my room is odd... the desk I would -like- to put my computer on isn't anywhere near an outlet (and my computer will die in a few hours if it has no food XD). So, unless I want even more extension cords and cables running around my room, the computer needs to stay at my little low desk. >_< I don't trust my boys on the low desk at -all-, 'cause I want them to have some sort of support if they... you know, tip. XD Earthquakes, animals, random people poking at things in my room... you never know. ^-^; I've decided on another resolution this year... be a little more quick to the point with my opinions/stating the truth. Eh, perhaps I've never really addressed this, since conflicts involving 'feelings' haven't exactly risen up recently. But still, it's a good thing to work on. Like ... criticism. I always feel -horrible- saying critical things (writing them down is always easier XD), and it can really bothers me for days on end if I hurt the person. So, I'm going to try and not sweat the little things, and be a little more honest. Hell, honesty can hurt, but I'm just trying to... help? XDD I sound like such a hypocrite. Now, if someone is wearing an ugly shirt, I'm not going to say "WTF is that monstrosity? Holy hell, is that even a shirt!?" or something. ^-^; Just state the truth a little more honestly than before, while still being considerate (or ignore the whole conflict completely, which is probably what I'll end up doing). And I need to stop beating up my mind if I make a mistake. Just fix it and move on (I know I will never be able to do this! XD). Perhaps this is a way to think less about little flibbityjibbits of life, and leave thinking space for more important things. Like how to move my boys closer to the computer. XDDD post comment

@.@ [03 Jan 2005|10:26pm] [ mood | blah ] Hahaha.... Happy New Years! XP Bit late, I know... Umum, quick! Resolutions! Aah... -Ease down on the wallet/spending! XDD -Learn how to sew -Clean out my closets and give stuff away/donate to charity/sell sell sell! (Already started this! ^o^) -Improve the image galleries on broken watches ^-^; -Get the Tokyo Boy RP going and flowing! Err... my mind is fried. *sweatdrop* Well~ I'll make more resolutions up spontaneously along the way. I have been taking care of a friend lately (poor guy needs some support through traumatic times) so I've been running around like crazy this week. Also... school. @.@! Very little time to myself= hardly any internet time. T.T Damn preparations! New years was good... saw some fireworks and watched the ol' ball drop. Haha, the people counting on channel 4 (whatever that is) were off compared to the clock! XDD It was funny... Hurray! It's 2005! post comment

Almost... [31 Dec 2004|09:54pm] [ mood | calm ] [ music | Phil Collins ] Two hours and six minutes until 2005! ^O^ Excited!!!!!! My books came today! *o* Kyaaa! Ordered a ton, so I've been reading and being lazy all day. X3 Might as well enjoy the time off. post comment

XP [30 Dec 2004|08:50pm] [ mood | calm ] [ music | Fefe Dobson ] Bwahaha, I chased the mailman down today to get my package. He probably thought I was crazy. XDD He came yesterday with my package, but it needs a signature to be accepted. As soon as my dog began barking, I ran to the door. But he was gone as soon as I came upstairs. So this time, I practically sprinted up and flung open the door. Lo and behold, he was halfway up the steps! Really no patience, these people. I know they're in a hurry, but it takes more than three seconds for someone to climb two flights of stairs! >_< Anyway, got my package! X.x Finally~ post comment

Another Lazy Day [30 Dec 2004|10:53am] [ mood | bored ] Ah, surprise surprise. I actually won the V Jeans O_o Really shocking actually, because winning stuff on YJP is damn near impossible sometimes. Mmm, it's nice having lazy days. Won't have many more one school starts (in 6 days). T.T I really need to learn how to sew... I need to make $! A nice leather outfit is calling to me (and Shinzou), but I barely have enough extra-spending cash. Hopefully, I'll create something with in the thext week that's decent. If not, then I don't know what to do. O_o Did -so- much DDR yesterday. As I've said before, that game is really addictive! The TBS rp is coming together nicely. Though I may need to start advertising for a Tsukasa. XD Wow, have to actually advertise for him... Well, we ort of need the 'big three' to begin. ^-^; Found some great pictures for the school campus, and I'm starting to think the school should require uniforms, and also have some dorms available. Hmm, I have a few options for the uniform. I bought a school boy uniform from Domuya a long time ago, but I found another one on Luts, and then there's real uniforms to choose from.... Eh, I'll just post a bunch of pictures. ^-^; post comment

>_ [28 Dec 2004|03:28pm] [ mood | SNAPS! ] [ music | Classical somethin' ] Ah crap, a snap fell off one of Rei's shirts. >_>; And since I have no hot glue gun, I tried using super glue. It was aborbed into the fabric right away (nice one tae >_<) so I kept adding more until it leaked out the other side of the shirt. ^-^; Oops~ My fingers now have a ton of super glue on them, so they feel all weird when typing. @.@ Stupid snaps... stupid glue. I'm trying to make some pjs using the sewing machine. I cut the patterns for the shirt last night, and all I need to do is (somehow) piece them together. Heheh, afternoon projects~ I gave Tasu a touchup-faceup. XD He looks hooooooot! *o* Very evil and brooding. later tonight, I may watch a Ghibli movie. They're always excellent, and the boys love them. As do I. ^-^ I'm also contemplating a photo shoot. I'll have the house to myself for three days, leaving plently of time to create a photo story or something. post comment

Oh 'boy'.... [28 Dec 2004|12:21am] [ mood | full ] Well, back from dinner with Tak-sama. Er... *laughs quietly* I brought my digital camera and showed him a (tiny) picture of Shinzou. And the first thing he said was: "Ohh, is she a japanese manga girl?" It was all I could do to refrain from laughing. XD Tak-sama is actually japanese: he grew up in japan, speaks japanese as his first language, -and- to top it all off... he's an artist. X3; He didn't know of BJDs, but I didn't give him 'the rundown' because not only would I be talking for a looong time, but dolls aren't really his thing (what a shame u.u). Aaah well. XDDD Mmm, the onigiri, tempura, sushi, and sake were delish! ^o^ post comment

Rainy Day [27 Dec 2004|03:34pm] [ mood | odd ] [ music | Old School SM music XD ] Here's some rainy day pictures of Shinzou. It's hard to tell from the (terrible) pictures, but it is pouring! Everything is drentched, and puddles are collecting on the deck. Shinzou looks sort of wistful.... Hmm, I sense a photo story. post comment
