Mascara-TaintedTears

Hey-ho!

As usual, I haven't really been keeping updated, nor have I been able to really keep in touch with anyone about anything. =/ I hope that everyone is well - I know I am (for the most part).

Anime North was this past weekend, and as usual I had a great time. ^^ On Friday I dressed as Mikan Noyamano from Air Gear. Despite her wearing a jumpsuit, I think it may be one of the most 'revealing' costumes that I've done. xD;; On Saturday I squeezed in two costumes. One was Chii from chobits (Since I unfortunately couldn't finish my Nurse Joy costume) and the other was Bianchi from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! I think the best thing about that costume was a cupcakes I had. They were yummy! (Annnnnd... I got to put one in the face of an adult Lambo + Gokudera... >o>;; ) Lolz~ And unfortunately, I was not able to attend on Sunday. =/

Oh, and I sprained my ankle. >o<;; My Chii shoes were quite high, and I went over on my left ankle. -sigh- And spent the following day at work. .__O; It's still swollen and just starting to bruise, but I can walk on it a bit better than I could on Friday night. xP (Crutches are really tiring... and I officially do not like using them. =[ )

Other than that, I had a great time! Anyone else? How was your experience of AN this year? Did you enjoy it? =]

I know it's been a while. >_<; Fan Expo (CNAnime) came and went waaaay back in August. I've finally posted some pictures from that one not too long ago though. I was fiiinally able to meet >D! After only a year of 'almost'. I was also able to meet some other awesome people~ >D Including and - I took part in their skit, and I must say I had a lot of fun. So thanks guys, for letting me be a part? ^o^ Though I wasn't able to meet up with the twins yet again (which made me sad, btw), hopefully I'll get to see you guys at Anime North~?!

Now. On Monday night I went and saw a new horror movie, called "My Bloody Valentine". It was supposed to be 3-D, but our theatre is le crappy, and for defs didn't have it as such. D: It was tres disappointing. But we imagined where it was. xD It was pretty good - even though there was more gore than I expected. Some of our friends couldn't sleep that night, and had exams the next day. >D The highlight of it though - Jensen Ackles = teh sex. >w< He had the lead role in the film, and was awesome. =3 (He plays Dean Winchester in the show 'Supernatural')

Onto Anime North. I'm going for the entire weekend (dur~) and as of right now, the costumes that I am thinking of doing are (in no particular order):
~Lenalee Lee (3rd Uniform) - D.Gray-man
~Bianchi/Lal Mirch - Katekyo Hitman REBORN!
~Rydia (FFIV) - or - Shiva (FFX)
I'm still debating on which costumes - any suggestions on which ones I should do? Or if there are any other cosplays that anyone would like to suggest - I'm open for suggestions!

Now to those who know me in real life - I'm thinking that I'm going to be moving to T.O. soon. It's closer to some of yous, and further from others. I'm not sure when it's going to happen - I'll try to give supple warning - but y'all knew it would happen sometime, ne? = Ooh! I also got my hair cut? = It's shorter than it's ever been, and I dyed it, to a... medium ash blonde? xP Wee?

Other than that - I don't think that there's anything else really happening. I'll try to update my journal more often. >o<;; (How many times have I said that..?) Tata~!
~Rachel

Alright, it's been hella-long time since I've updated my journal. ^.^;; Whoops. >__<

This past weekend was finally Anime North. I didn't get to see a lot of the people I would have liked to have seen, Kiraito, for example. D; Also the beloved twins - never got to bump into you two either. ): I also didn't partake in many photoshoots this year - big bummer. D:
I ended up dressing as :
Friday: Hayato Gokudera (Ring Battle outfit) - Katekyo Hitman REBORN!
Saturday: Rydia - Final Fantasy IV
Sunday: Chii - Chobits

So if anyne happened to catch any pictures of me, I'd love to see them~! <3 : D

On that note, I will be adding pictures from it shortly as well. I forgot my camera, so I won't be adding them en masse, but I've already collected a few that were taken of me - I'm also waiting for the small photoshoot my friend did with me when I was in my Gokudera costume. ^.^;

I should also be adding more drawn pictures as well soon (again, hopefully) xP

~Rachel

Blaaah~ I've been uber-uber lazy as of late, not wanting to do much of anything at all. Anything productive, that is. =___='' It's actually becoming quite serious around this time, though.

First, I know it's *obviously* late, but I hope that everyone had good holidays, whether you traveled, or whether you stayed home - even if you were forced to visit those smelly old grannies and chubby aunts that pinch your cheeks. And to those that are in the process of - or about to - write exams, best of luck to all.

I know I'm in that boat - about the exams. Mine start tomorrow, but I can't seem to want to buckle down and actually do anything - study for the ones that need studying, or finish projects for the ones that need them. =____='' For example, I'm in my first period class right now and supposedly 'studying'. >__<;;

I took part in our school's musical production once again - this time as a class for it. We presented 'My Fair Lady' this past week, and I've been exhausted by it. But it was a good run. Apparently, it was the best selling show that our school had done since it had done 'Grease' - about 15 years ago. According to our producer, it had been one of the best musicals that our school had ever performed. That made us feel rather good, I daresay.

Oooh, as for art - I know I still owe   a picture for getting the kiriban. Fact is, it *is* drawn, I'm just waiting for it to be scanned before I can put it up. x.x I will also have more pictures up soon as well. *thumbs up* I have next week off as our exams are being marked, so I should have quite a few chances.

I have quite a list of costumes that I need to get working on too - but I'm lagging there too. (For those who care, here's a list of what I'm planning and where to):
MTac : Saturday - Shunran "Because I'm the Goddess"
Sunday - 'Omake Theatre' version Tamaki Suoh "Ouran High School Host Club"

Anime North : Friday - School Uniform Tamaki Suoh "Ouran High School Host Club" //and// Chii "Chobits"
Saturday - (morning) Lenalee or Cloudnyne "D. Grayman"
(afternoon/evening) 'Festival' (and possibly police version) Tamaki Suoh "Ouran High School Host Club"
Sunday - Rydia "Final Fantasy IV" ((An maybe Mello too~))

NAF : Tamaki Suoh + other(s)?

CNAnime : Souseiseki "Rozen Maiden"
<<unknown>> "Katekyō Hitman Reborn!"
Ouka ".hack// Legend of the Twilight"

I think that's all though. .__O;;
Tata~
Ray-tama~~

Alright. So, first off. I have not died and disappeared off of the face of the planet. xP I've been a touch busy between school work, preparing university applications and being sick. =___='' I'm better now, which is a good thing to say in the least. xP I've finally gotten 's birthday picture loaded up. (Almost a month late. D: My apologies, dah-lin'. xP)

On the flip side, I've been doing more drawing (it's just a matter of getting them onto the computer, *huff*) that I'm *hoping* to get up. >.>; (I think I say that every time. ><;; ) I'm also planning on a few more costumes for Halloween (yes, a few. x.x One for our local Halloween dance, and another for one in Toronto. ) I'm hoping to enter   halloween contest too with some cosplay crackilicious comic (hopfully going to be MattxMello, for you fans. x3) And I'm still trying to enter something else for the   contest as well. *works booties off* xP)

I'm trying to respond to comments/notes, for anyone whom has been waiting for a reply - who hasn't gotten one else where, o' course. xP
To top things off, I'll be uploading some pictures within the next few days and filling up your deviation boxes. x.x You are forewarned. xP Lulz. xP (Some pictures from previous photoshoots and also recent ones - some being done... earlier today, actually. |D)

Thank you for any support that I've received here on dA. I've officially been here for a year and two days. #___#'' (And my page reviews hasn't even hit 1000 yet. >__<'' A little depressing, I suppose. *le sigh*)
So - I thought that whomever gets my 1000th page review (or closest) can get some arts. =3 Take a screenshot to prove it, o' course. xP

I believe that's it~
Thanks again, and tata for now, lovies. <3
