Hey everyone!!! Instead of finishing homework and working on cosplay i've decided to write an update journal!!! So yeah, I only have a few weeks left of my junior year in college and I'm totally swamped with things i need to get done. I have an eight-ten page research paper, a 50 hour process drawing, a fifteen page script, an animation wheel, two printed out posters for graphic design, a drawing project, a portfolio package and a cd consisting of all my graphic designs due these last two weeks of school. Not to mention i still have a few exams and critiques to go through. So much to do!!!

But its all good because after finals week i get to work on cosplay and relax for a few weeks before heading off to ITALY AND GREECE!!!! I'm so excited!!!! I've been a Renaissance to Modern Art History class so i've been looking at a lot of pieces created in italy and some of things things still there, like architecture obviously. Anyway i'm so excited to visit the many places of Italy and Greece. Maybe i'll be able to see some of the deviants that are on this site.

Basically the weekend after i get back , and i will be going to Anime Blues Con 3 in Memphis, TN. We'll be heading with a mutual friend of ours Mark and his two friends. I have to say though that i'm very pissed off at ABC...instead of having the usual formal dance they've made it My Little Pony themed. Not that i have any issue with the fandom, i just don't think its fair for the rest of the cosplayers who are loyal fans to ABC to have to dress up in pony themed costumes in order to get in. I mean you don't have too but theres obviously going to be more pony themed things than not. Its just like discrimination and i feel that its not right. I'll probably bring it up to the people in charge. So yeah. Just a little mad at them about that. But we'll still be going to the formal and if not we'll definitely be at the rave. I'll be the one dancing around as a Rinoa (probably). Speaking of Rinoa, I'll go ahead and list, like i've done many times before, who we are bringing with us to ABC.

Rinoa Heartilly=FF8(formal)=Friday=me
Miss Cloud Strife=FF7=Friday=
Zack Fair=FF7(suit)=Friday=

Hetalia Characters=either Hungary or Germany for me will correspond with either Austria or Italy and will be Prussia

The third cosplay is still up in the air. For the longest time it was going to be my Connor from Assassin's Creed 3 cosplay but it's looking like it's going to take longer than expected. That is unless i can get it done in the weeks before my trip overseas. Then for the longest time i was going to be Faye Valentine, since the voice actress of Faye and the voice actor of Spike (squeal) were going to be there but that too is looking like a no go unless i can come up with something quickly. So yeah, we are so behind in getting things together and i totally blame our schedules. Between work and school theres not much time to sit around and plan. We haven't even paid for the hotel room yet....yeah i know....we're bad.

In other news, it looks like it'll be just me and Rose in the apartment for a while. Sara has some family issues going on and will have to be home for a bit. I apologize now for anything we upload that may be random or just pure insanity on our youtube channel. But yeah.... it's going to be us and Sara will visit and help pay for rent.

Over summer we're not planning to do much besides the con and then working on cosplay, we might go up to my grandpas cabin for a swim and we'll most likely be working throughout...well at least i'll hopefully be working...i need some moolah. Anyway, i'll keep you posted on anything new that happens, and i'll try to post pics of not only cosplay, WIPs, and photoshoots, but also my artwork for this year and some from the past year.

By the way, i'm not sure if any of my followers know this but i also write fan fiction. I've got an account under the same name as here without the one attached on fanfiction.net and post alot of m rated material. Right now i'm working on my sequel to Protecting You, a story about Jiro and Mimiko from Black Blood Brothers. A New Dawn is the story of Zelman Clock and a young woman name Roxanne Cross. They've had a tragic history together but he can't remember and she treats him with contempt. With an old threat returning and kidnapping someone dear to Zelmans heart he must pair up with Roxanne to rescue that person and recover his memories. Maybe he'll also receive the heart of Roxanne along the way.

So yeah, go ahead and take a look once posted, but be sure to read Protecting You first. And check out some of my other works as well, leave a review and tell me what you think. I'll try to post some of the chapters for A New Dawn over summer, but i would hate to post chapters and then not post anything for weeks, or months, later because i haven't had time to write anymore. Which is why i usually post when i've gotten the story completed or nearly completed.

Well i think i've rambled enough, might actually go and work some before work and school tomorrow. Ciao Bella!!!! ;D
