TWENTY THOUSAND WORDS

BITCHESSSSS

Write Or Die <- best thing for NaNoWriMo EVER. On a related note, I just passed 12,000 words =D

I promised an old school friend I'd ask around, so here it is:

~~COSPLAYERS~~

My friend is a photography student and she's looking for some people with really elaborate costumes to do a photo shoot with her in the next week or two. Anyone interested?

Me in respectable Monash-vision


Me and sarahofcroydon in cosplay-vision :3 The rest of the photos are here if anyone's interested~

I am currently failing at NaNoWriMo =/ I have 3622 4025 words and need more like 7000 (6668 to be exact) by the end of tonight to be on target.

ETA: Scratch that, it's now after midnight and I'm only on 4509 words =/ I'd stay up and catch up but I have an exhibition at uni tomorrow. Maybe I can catch up in the morning if I'm early enough?

ETA MARK 2: WOO I BEAT 5000 WORDS =D now I'm only one day behind...

I have finished classes for this semester! Still have things to hand in tomorrow and an exam, though =/ so instead of finishing them off, I'm on LJ.

Astro Boy is like five hundred kinds of love. I saw the new movie this week and it was SO cute ♥~

Hey Kath, did you see this?

Someone who owns a wig: do I need to get wig shampoo or something to wash my wig? It kind of needs it before egames, the gel in it is weighing it down so much it can't hold its shape. I'm tempted to just use water or regular shampoo, but will water be effective? I hear normal shampoo can damage it.. augh, anyone got advice?

*pretends to work more*

I am not recieving email comment notifications D: if I haven't been responding, sorry - let me know here, I'll make sure to check back >_<;

Alright, Manifest's over and the post-Manifest low is well and truly kicking in =( probably not helped by the nasty weather and my general grumpiness.
My photos are here. I've spent half the day snooping around other people's photos and finding the ones I missed. I'm hoping somebody has video of the cosplay competition - particularly the Gurren-Lagann group on Sunday D: they were awesome~ and it was great to find an impromptu Metal Gear group :3 none of us had planned it, but we ended up with four from various Metal Gear Solid games. With luck, we're planning a group cosplay for Egames or something =D

auuuuugh, I hate that feeling after Manifest.

12:15AM

I JUST FINISHED SEWING

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

See you at Manifest :3

I JUST BROKE MY CAR AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

CRAP

Well, I came back from New Zealand alive a week ago <<;;. It was pretty fun~ I've got a bunch of photos but haven't uploaded them yet. It's mostly scenic mountains with snow on them.

Back to uni. Only there three days a week, but that means one day with 8 hours straight of classes, and it doesn't look like I'll get much of a break in there.

I finished watching Farscape - damn, that show's great. I hadn't seen the end before, now I've got to get my hands on Peacekeeper Wars to finish the storyline.

Working on cosplay for Manifest. Hopefully doing Meryl Silverburgh from Metal Gear Solid and maybe Spy from TF2 if I get time.

I feel like my lj's becoming kind of devoid of life. Sometime soon I'll sit down and write a big long tl;dr entry and it will be interesting and cool stuff.

I'm off to the airport in a couple of hours, off to New Zealand for two weeks. I probably won't be online at all till I come back.

Ahahaha I'm gonna freeze D:

It was good :3 I'd do a big spoilerific post but OH GOD I AM SO ILL. Like, the cough-of-a-cancer-patient sort of ow. It was just a cold till today and it's gotten into my throat and it feels like I'm literally causing damage to my lungs and respiratory system every time I cough.

And I went to work tonight so I've probably infected every Transformers fan in Forest Hill :3

I really need MGS icons... I want to make my own but I find most of the pictures I can get my hands on are really not conducive to good icons. I'm downloading a collection of MGS cutscenes, though, they might help if I can get some good screencaps. I might be making an MGS2 music video, too...

You know what sucks? When you get that little sore, scratchy feeling up the back of your throat and you start drinking tea and eating vitamin C and all this but you KNOW you're gonna spend the next few days feeling horrible and sick. I've got that feeling now.

I'm going to New Zealand in a couple weeks.

I started exercising and I feel more lethargic than ever.

AUGH

Finished the first Metal Gear Solid last night :3

( Capslock )

...

Now what?

Wow, I expected that to take longer. I sat down tonight thinking I'd play for a little while and then it's like HEY IT'S THE END OF THE GAME. I kinda already spent 7 hours more on mgs1 than I did to complete mgs2 >>;;

( Ok spoilers under the cut obviously )

Best things about MGS2:
- Snake's ass
- Raiden's ass
- Raiden naked
- Holy shit there is some awesome ass in this game
- Snake and Raiden handcuffed
- Watching Snake sleep <3 not in a creepy way honest he's just so cute
- Complete and total mindfuckery
- Otacon
- Actually I'm gonna go ahead and put a bunch of characters and their interactions under here.

I'm tired. It's kinda late... I didn't really expect to find myself at the end tonight. What am I gonna do for the rest of my holidays?

lolol assignments

Three assignments due by Friday. Mostly under control, thankfully. For my Narratives assignment I'm making a non-linear interactive story and because I hate Flash, I'm doing it as a series of web pages. I feel artsy for no discernable reason.

Also watching the fallout from E3 from a distance. Man, Kojima's really trolling hard.

I used to have confidence in my programming skills.

damn(C++);
this.sucks = true;
keepPuttingSemicolonsEverywhere = true;

stomach = Jillian.bakeAwesomeCookies();

hurr(durr);

FUCK YEAH

LICENCED DRIVER

FUUUUUUUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAH

Shit, now I can't drink =(

ETA: Anyone need a spare set of L plates?

Picture stolen from hiimdaisy

Dad came home from work early to take me to my driving test. We washed the car, vacuumed it out, got the L-plates ready, went for a practice drive... then fifteen minutes before my test we realised one of the brake lights was out. Dad tried to fix it, all the spare bulbs were busted, panic stations, quickly cleared out my sister's car (which I've never driven) and took it up instead.

Got there JUST in time, I was pretty much in hysterics but I got out and did the test.

Then I failed because of head-checks.




LOL




Upside is, rather than the two-month wait for my next appointment we managed to snag a cancellation for next Friday. One week till I can try again!


[ETA]: Anyone going to the zombie shuffle in the city tomorrow? I've got to leave pretty promptly for work but I'm heading in for a bit. Need to find some old clothes to mess up...
