Journal Entry: Fri Nov 20, 2009, 1:14 PM
  • Mood: Distracted
  • Listening to: My suitemate's loud, random music.
  • Reading: My text.

Thought I'd try out a nice journal look while it's possible for me to. Wish it was in blue, but very, very pretty nonetheless. Wish I could keep one.

Lots of new things have been going on. I'm in college, for one. And busy. I'm on the committee for NMA con next year, and I'm also hoping to get a new HP Touchsmart Tablet Laptop.


Cosplay


With the NMA con note, I hope to make and finish a Jing: King of Bandits cosplay outfit. I've already found some jacket templates, thanks to people who have already attempted this cosplay before, and I even have an idea for Kir! You know those huge, flexible-legged, Halloween spiders? I hoped I could use their legs to affix some sort of Kir representation to my arm, so I could both have him stay, AND be able to shout "Gimme a Kir Royale!" appropriately. (By the way, yes, it is a drink. Look it up. While you're at it, look up Jing: King of Bandits! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.)

So, yes. Lots of stuff. Oh, and the fact of the matter is, I actually have quite a lot of unfinished homework. Eight math chapters, one math test, a math test improvement, two essays, one book report (with the second still needing about a paragraph), and a whole lot of art assignments. Yeah. All that good stuff.


There's more?


On YET ANOTHER note, Brittany is coming up today for the weekend, so hopefully I will be able to see her, AND get homework done. Especially because my parents can no longer drive her here, seeing as my grandpa broke his leg and is in the hospital. I'm sure he'll be fine, but I still know my mom worries about him, so she's going to visit. Therefore? No ride, so far.

ANYways. Oh, YES. I won the Moutain Dew 'Green Label Gear' contest. I got some headphones, and they actually come the other day in the mail (though I just picked them up)! They're WeSC Bongo headphones, so hopefully they're good ones. Looking forward to them.

So, anywho, I think that's most of my stuff going on. Sorry for lack of deviations lately; Britt currently has my sketchbook, and I do not know where I can scan in anything I haven't yet. Scanners? Not really found here, apparently. Though the Touchsmart is a Tablet Laptop, so I hopefully will be submitting a lot of art by then. x3

SO, on that note. Not much else to say, but anyone who reads this, I am sorry for update-deprivation. I'm just busy, and without a scanner.


TL;DR


I've been busy lately, lots of things are going on (because I'm in college), and I'm sorry I haven't updated lately.

Smell 'ya later!
~Blu-er...Kitsune-Itazura. Yeah.


Wanna-be costume creator! (and news)

  • Mood: Eager
  • Listening to: Shissou - Ouran High School Host Club ending theme

Long time, no true journal, eh? I need to get back up to scratch on this.

First off, news. Me, Inu ( :iconmanga-inu-chan: ), my girlfriend, ( :iconsinnersandsaints08: ), and some others are planning to go to Mushroom-fest again this year. Yay for having a lot at a flea market! Brinny will be coming up from downstate for it, and when she goes back down I'm planning to go with her. (I still need to let my parents know, though. Whoops!) I've also been feeling better lately. More myself. More driven. I love it.

And I have decided. I want to learn to create clothing and cosplay costumes, myself.

There are three main project ideas I want to try. A generalized Soul-Reaper garb, Jing's jacket from King of Bandits: Jing, and, the hardest of them all, a nice pleather trench-coat. Buckles and all. I'm hoping to base the design more-or-less off of Daisuke/Dark's trench from late in the anime DN Angel.

Did I mention I've been obsessing over it lately? No? Well, I borrowed the complete series set from Inu. And watched it all. And loved it, even if it does deviate from the manga. Plus, the music is amazing. Specifically 'Caged Bird', and the piano instrumental for 'True Light'. Look them up. Now. The journal will be here when you get back.

Anywho. I am really psyched about making this coat. I hopefully should be able to borrow a pattern from Inu, which is lucky, seeing as the closest pattern I can find (the one she's going to let me borrow) is discontinued. It is HELL to find a good pattern for one of these things.

I'm hoping to go to a fabric/craft store in our area (probably Traverse City) to go get some pleather, unless I can do that downstate. I'm planning to go downstate with my girlfriend, and so if/when that happens, I might be able to find a nice store there with some good pleather by the yard. I mean, seeing as I'll FINALLY have access to a sewing machine, and people who make Renaissance costumes all the time. I need to get a sewing machine for home use, so I can really get into this...

[link]

That is a general reference for what I want to do. Except what I want has more buckles. And possibly sans the hood to add a high collar, though the hood could be very practical.

So, to finish up, if anyone has any help whatsoever on this, I would love it. It's my current pet project; while it may be harder than some other costume/clothing designs I could make, but I REALLY want to make it. I don't think I could concentrate long enough on another clothing project to finish it with how obsessed I am with making this. I may not have made anything like it before, but I know this: I always have a tendency to put things off. Well, I want to change that, and I know putting this off and never working on it wouldn't help one bit. So I'm giving it my all. Even if I do still need a driver's license. And to get into college. And a job. And...


Until next time,
~Shippo

Me, from A to Z.

Repost this with the title:
I've Done __ of the 120 stupidest things (with your total in that blank spot.)

Arrrrgh.

Mon Aug 11, 2008, 1:36 PM
  • Mood: Isolated
  • Listening to: The fan.
  • Reading: Just finished with Harry Potter: 7
  • Watching: The news. It's lame.
  • Eating: Dinner. (chicken fillets with Stove-Top stuffing)
  • Drinking: Water.
When I woke up, I was depressed (stupid reason, really; it had to do with my dream). After a bit, I was angry (not quite sure why). Now I'm being snippy, but somehow impassive to everyone/thing. I suppose that's why everything's ending in periods now. Nothing seems to be going well. Even though I know that's not true. But my grandpa probably has cancer (the manic-depressive, diabetic one). Britt's downstate (no offense, Britt, it's better for you there).

I'm being depressed about other stupid things that I shouldn't be, because of things I can't change. I just...don't know what I want anymore.

I sound so pathetic. I can't even think of anything well I can do. Mind you, something I can do well that will somehow help me in life.

And then there's the fact that everyone either knows what they want to do, are good at something, or both. Fuck.
