we all look like we feel

Last night was so kickass. And so was Amanda's party, lolol

I helped set up and stuff for a couple hours so I was probaby over there for about... 6 hours? Maybe. I just can't describe how much fun it was. Almost everyone on the guest list showed up and we had cupcake contests and set the tables on fire (LOL) and Ema loved her present from me which makes me soo happy.

Just.... ugh. Too many things to talk about!! (I'll leave it to Em, I suppose.)

All the pics will be on facebook in a couple hours... there are like 150 of them so it might take a bit.

WEEKEND!!!!

Amanda's partaaaay is in an hour and a half, and Ema's bash is tomorrow night. I'm so BLOODY excited.

I saw the cakes she baked today after dance. There are six.

She's currently busy making six big mixing bowls of homemeade frosting. I helped mix, and now my fingers taste like confectioner's sugar and butter and vanilla X3

we're going to show you what swing is all about

Yesterday Aunt Sarah, Uncle Peter, Aunt Krista and Uncle Trip were over for a Memorial Day picnic. I read manga and got my first sun burn of the year!!! I think it's officially summer when that happens, so i'm pretty pleased.

Today was just back-to-the-grind. We filmed a bit for our Spanish project and I went shopping with Ema for her Birthday party on Saturday. It will be QUITE the epic shindig.

I have two songs I am now addicted to, and I can't put them both in must-listen, so i'll put them here:
Heck, I'd Go! by Maria Muldaur
and
Swing Set by Jurassic 5

I would TOTALLY live in the 20's and 30's just for the Swing Era. The music and dance back then was so much better than any of this mosh-pit hip-hop stuff we have now... not that it's terrible, but it's just... not as great. :3

GOD. I just want to rock out to Swing Set. Seriously. I was jammin like a fool in Home Goods with Ema. It's just soooooo catchy.

MORE CON STUFF.

Saturday we went in around 4:00 cause Ema had to get out of dance, and the first thing we did was go to the Hetalia Axis Powers Panel, which was so much fun!! It was hosted by Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Austria, and Prussia, and they fielded questions from the floor (incuding mine!) and had a trivia game against America, Lithuania, Spain and Korea. It was really very cute.

Ema and I wandered around for the rest of the day and around the Artists' Alley, and I bought a really cool steampunk necklace with a little gearpiece and a guage on it.

Today we were all super-duper tired before we even set out (which was early, around 10) so when the train was 45 MNUTES LATE, we were all a little irritable. But we spent basically the entire day in the dealer's room, which we didn't go in many of the other days, and I bought two volumes of Ouran Host Club (by Bisco Hatori, aka AWESOME), and volume of Captive Hearts by Matsuri Hino and a volume of Noey Hunt y Miki Aihara (got all that?? lol). I also bought one of those little solar-powered bobble-head guys, and his name is Sunny Yellow and he's a Nohohon Zoku. He's sitting on my windowsill right now, enjoying the non-natural light from my bedside lamp. X3

We never ended up finding Squall again (CRY) but we did see Lizzy and Renge again, and I saw Bella (aka Madeleine) from drawing class (same one as Reggie and Nathan) and Jon Lavalley, who GRADUATED LAST WEEK, CRYYY. So he's off to New York, best of luck to you Jon, we'll miss you~!!!

All in all, an incredibly satisfying weekend. I only wish I had bought more candy, but I was on a loan budget. ;_;

Next year, Emily and I are going as Austria and America (respectively) from Axis Powers Hetalia. Apparently Ema is sexy with her hair slicked back. Although, Sunday I will go in pajama pants and a sweater... cosplayng was just too much of a pain today, and my hair was not behaving. Oh well.

BED NOW. RELATIVES COMING TOMORROW FOR A PICNIC. GOODNIGHT.

somethin about him i can't push aside

Oh. My. God. Yesterday was the first day of Anime Boston!!!!

I had. THE BEST TIME. As Demyx. He's so much fun to cosplay, I can't even get over it. Ema did my hair, and it looked fanTASTIC. And the line was 2 MINUTES LONG!! As opposed to eight HOURS, last year!!!

We met up with Molly from Showa, and a bunch of other Showa kids who were very fun. And Sarah and Julia came a little later. Ema was dressed up as Madame Red from Kuroshitsuji, and she looked amazing in her six-inch heels~~

I bought a Demyx T-shirt from an America and England (from Hetalia) who I know from Youtube, and it was so cool to see them XDD

I also met another America outside the Artist Alley, and she was sooo funny!! We compared leather jackets (hers was real, and thus much hotter in the 90 degree weather) and she had an american flag and fatigued that were from a company called ANARCHY (irony, lol!)

She was so nice, and I hope we see more Hetalia people at the PANEL tonight!!! (I'm dying, i'm so excited.)

OOOOOH. I also saw REGGIE!!! And Nathan, but he's less exciting. XD And I hope I see them again tomorrow~! And we also met a Squall (Final Fantasy) in line at Ben&Gerry's who we sincerely hope to meet again :3 He was the nicest guy.

I'M LITERALLY DYING. LIKE, REEEALLY. MORE UPDATES TOMORROW!!!

Grandpa's here and my cold's wearing off and MCAS is over!!

I lied, Grandpa came today.

Today was pretty awesomesauce. But of course, nothing is that easy, so I've got a spanish project to worry about now and an English project that Mr. D gave us for friday. It's not of any pressing worry, but I don't know... it's clawing at the very back of my mind.

I need some major zen, man. I need to unwiiiiind. Only like 20 SOMETHING DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL. Including exams. I'm so cloooooose, I can taste it~~

oh i should've said so long so long ago

I haven't been up to doing anything lately.

Sunday was dance picture, which was okay, and I spent a large part of the day writing an essay for English which I wasn't entirely happy with but W/E.

Monday I felt like shit, cause I had a sore throat that was so bad I couldn't speak the whole day. It was raw and gross and I felt awful the whole day.

But today I woke up with no sore throat, but a stuffy nose. Which I can deal with. And today we had math MCAS, so I only had chem and Art to deal with. Which was nice. And it was MAD easy. so.

Minimal stress at the moment, which is nice, but I know there's more to come, with finals only TWO WEEKS AWAY.

AAAND, grandpa comes Friday, and Ema and I are riding in to Anime Boston to get our passes!!! I'm suuuper excited.

the party's crashing us now

So lastnight I went with Ema and her dad & bro to Lord of the Dance. It was hands-down the best dance performance i've ever seen. The tap dancing was unreal.

We ate in Chinatown and had a grand old time.

BUT. I'm the stupidest person ever. I'm totally pathetic.

I wore high heels. Worst decision OF MY LIFE.

I now have a blister on my left foot that's so huge I can't even walk properly, and another one on my right that's got me doing a double-limp-thing.

I feel like the dumbest girl on the face of the planet.

BUTTT. Abba and Manda are coming over for the cookie party we've been planning for months, FINALLY <3 It'll help me stop thinking about my fucking feet....

and we loved with a love that was more than love

Today was visual vocab day and i'm completely exhausted.

I was a CPR dummy because my word was "resuscitate," and almost nobody got it.

I woke up at about 5:30 this morning to find pantyhose for my arms and legs, then drew ball joints onto my elbows and knees. I also wore a t-shirt showing the instructions for CPR. I thought it was pretty cool personally, but the pantyhose were over my fingers (to look like plastic doll hands) so I couldn't write until fourth period.

It was also veeeeery hard to focus in classes. Most of the history lecture on the Monroe Doctrine flew right over my head, and all this stuff about Algebra graphs is kinda fuzzy.

I also have a Chem test tomorrow which I don't exactly feel prepared for...

on that starry night, lost my sense of time

This morning I woke up with such intense pain in my lower back that I could barely get out of bed. I almost cried, it hurt so badly.

I'm better now, though. I think it was partly my left hip and partly the lack of streching in lyrical on Friday.

I had a bunch of work today.... it kills me that this is the one time of the year I really need to give school a ton of effort and its the one time of the year that I reeeeeeeally don't want to.

But Ema and I are having a blast with Rush Complex. I missed alot of Algebra today cause I was drawing. I won't do that again... this sine wave stuff is mad confusing if you zone out. DX

Mrrrrr... I've got a case of the mondays. (But dance was fun~)

The show went well this morning. The place was packed.

and I got to see Vic and Eddie for about... a half an hour before they go back to Fwaaance.

I should be doing my brochure for health, but I can't find the formatter on Word. Sooooooooo i'm browsing fanart on livejournal and tegaki.

I kinda wish we'd presented our photo journals in photo class... mine was pretty good.

So now Mom & Dad are at Wayne and Loewy's for dinner and Ema, Sarah and I are sitting here watching Enchanted and painting nails. It is much fun!

I don't really have any homework, but I have like three projects.... mrrr.

higher now than ever before

Today was supposed to be really cool... I had only three classes, no homework in them, and then art and two studies. I just sat down in Chemistry and all I could think was damn... i am miserable, and I don't know why.

I dunno. I spent a couple periods working on my painting in art, and then spent a study in the caf with Frau Ruggaber reading my ShojoBeat... and writer's club was fun.

I just wanna be happy, and the stress and the sheer amount I have to think about it not letting me. It's pretty frustrating.

you're a stranger to me; you're a danger to me

Is it at all fair to tell you that I honestly just completely forgot about my blog until just now?

The past four days have been SO. HECTIC. Basically I've been doing work since Saturday morning. I did homework all that day, most of the day Sunday, and Monday I went to the Showa campus to see what Japan camp would be like and then it was peek week at dance and I had alot of homework.

*screams a little*

I really, truly, honestly hate this part of the year. Hate it. With teachers cramming stuff in, finals to study for, and ON TOP OF ALL THAT THE BLOODY DANCE CONCERT, which I am seriously not looking forward to this year... I'm starting to lose my mind a little. I was so overtired in study today I got into hysterics over nothing.

And the worst of it is that of all times of the year, I just happen to have an enormous amount of stuff I want to do aside from school stuff right now. Ema and I had a brainstorm on the way back from Showa about Rush Complex, and I'm all riled up to start writing again, which I NEED to do...

and it's not like I can just write this anytime. It sounds silly but I honestly need inspiration to write this stuff. I want it to be the very very best it can be, and that takes drive, which I don't normally have. And now that I DO have it, I CAN'T WRITE. *screams*

The next couple of weeks are going to be harebrained. Forgive me if I miss a few days here and there... I've got so much on my mind i've had to resort to lists... they're everywhere. I've got like four. WTF MAN.

i can't explain what made me change

Today's school was alright-- I had all my classes, but in Chemistry we made ice cream. Abby Amanda and I all shared ours, which was more the consistency of buttermilk than ice cream. But we put in sprinkles and chocolate chips and whipped cream and it was yummy.

After dance class I went over to the store, and then hung out at the Gallery 55 NHS honors art students art show opening with Jon, Bryan, Maisie, KT, and some other peeps. We had a crazy rave in the honey farms parking lot. Betch.

I have photo class tomorrow, and i'm so tired I can't see straight. Beeeeeeeeeeddddd.
