Ah...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:57:29 GMT

Fuck It!

I made my mother damned happy by filling out that damned FAFSA, knowing that I don't qualify because of my GPA. I have a 2.9 or something along the lines. But, I filled out that fucker anyway... I swear, I wish they would just leave me the fuck alone for once in my damn life. Now to see if I pass that goddamn driver's test. Like I said earlier, I don't need it. I not that fit to be a driver, I had three auto fails so far and I'm not willing to cause an accident on the road ways...

In other news, I had a rather good time at Anime Expo. While I didn't go hog wild with buying stuff due to lack of funds, I had a good time never the less. I'm not really in the mood of posting my exploits of my trip to AX09, Jamie if you are reading this. E-mail me for the details and where we are going to meet up for preview night at Comic-Con in less than two weeks!

Also, iced_puffy if you are reading this entry. I have an Yuri/Alice piece that I mange to draw and upload online. Feel free to color it and post it on your site!

http://www.sheezyart.com/art/view/2103435/

I really need to update my site, Im just kinda lazy in doing it. In the meantime my SheezyArt account has whatever I manged to scan and post online.

I so need a fucking drink or something to relive the stress! That's it for now, on the fly then.

Wow...

My mother is shocked, so is my brother and so am I about the death of Michael Jackson. I grew up listening to his music, while my mother grew up listening to the Jackson 5. My brother sometimes plays his music when he DJs. Even though amid the scandal and heavy debt, I'll always remember his videos, which where always an event and that me and mother gathered around the TV to watch them.

Even all these years later, I am still watch them in wonder... My favorite video from him is still "Scream", while my favorite song is "Human Nature". I need to get those songs onto my iPOD sooner or later...

I need to get ready for the meeting/gathering at a friend's house later this afternoon. We are going to hang out and discuss what's going to happen at Anime Expo next week. That's it for now, on the fly.

I'm Back...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:41:13 GMT

Sorta...

I got my laptop back and now owe DELL about $500 in repair bills and renewing the goddamn warranty. At least they gave me the option in paying off the bill in installments... Anyways, to add injury to insult I some how managed to catch a cold which turned into bronchitis... So off to the clinic and another $60 in medical bills...

Fuck it, why does this shit always happen to ME! I hoping that I have at least some cash for AX in less than three weeks. I'm just hoping that I can get those illustrations done, period! I got one down and four to go... I'm waiting until I get better in order to continue work. I'm praying that nothing else happens...

In the meantime, I have been watching online videos from "The Angry Video Game Nerd". In the past three days that I have been home, it's been rather good therapy for me; laughing my ass off. Any hard core gamer who knows their salt has heard of the Nerd. He's a guy who reviews really, really shitty old school games. Even in the opening theme says it all, "He's going to take back to the past..." Mind that they are really bad trips...

Anyways, if you are wondering. I'm going to update my site, really soon, I promise. In the meantime, I still open for comissions and the prices that are posted on their are still valid. If you want to make a donation for Xanthe, I would really appreciate it and give you something rather kick ass, as my way of saying thanks. If you are really game into sending me a donation, you can send it via PayPal at ladymaverick81@hotmail.com along with your name and e-mail addy.

Other than that, the cough syrup I took is making me sleepy. So I'm going to take a nap, on the fly then.

Offline...Again...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Thu, 28 May 2009 19:22:08 GMT

It seems that my laptop decided to die on me and I had to ship it back to DELL for repairs. So I'm going to be offline for a few weeks while that is being fixed. In the mean time, I can get those illustrations that are going on sale at AX completed. I'm going to do three or four framed and matted illustrations using the techniques that I picked up this semester in class.

Other than that, I need to get my driver's license ASAP, if not come December I'm homeless...sigh... I really have no need for it. But my parents are bloody persistent that I do. When Christmas comes I'm going to give that damn card all nice and gift wrap and they can bloody have it. It's world of problems for me and my attention span isn't all that grand.

I don't want to be on the nightly news for an accident that I caused...sigh; I never ask my parents for ANYTHING in life...

Anyways, I need to run a few errands so, on the fly.

I Really Wonder...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Mon, 04 May 2009 01:19:35 GMT

If I have set another record for not posting stuff on either my site or this blog... School has grabbed my by the balls and will not let go until the 22nd of this month. That's when the semester is over and I can get on with getting ready for Anime Expo!

I have now become a Shadow Hearts junkie, I can thank iced_puffy for that... I have so much fan art from that series it isn't funny and my final is a fan art of Yuri and Alice! I also am planning to get back into writing fan fiction over the Summer break. I never attend summer school on the account that I go to both Anime Expo and Comic Con.

On the subject of the SH fan fic, I'm thinking of using the myth of the goddess of mercy and compassion; Kannon. I also believe that the ending to the second Shadow Hearts is that the writer kinda used the concept that time just loops forever and forever. The same concept was also used in the anime "Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni", in which time just resets expect for one character... I recommened the series alot, in the fact that the series likes to screw with you head until the very end. As for the title, I'm still thinking about it. Do you have any suggestions for a title?

Other than that, with the swine flu going around and a High School is closed for two weeks near the college that I go to... I'm praying that I don't catch the bug, because that would suck... Dinner is nearly ready , so on the fly then! Also expexct an update within the month of so.

Happy New Year...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 10:41:25 GMT

Or something like that...

I know I'm rather late into writing this blog, but I kinda got caught up into both playing finally "Shadow Hearts: Covenant" and "Shadow Hearts: From the New World". I'm currently still playing the latter and I must say, with all of the bitching and moaning that SH3 had in the reviews department. I'm having a hoot playing this game. They are more times that I found myself laughing out loud or chucking to myself than I was playing SH2. Yeah, I know that SH3 is rather lighthearted and tongue in cheek in all.

Kinda reminds me of "Wild ARMS 4", which is a rather excellent game to play, I must say. I demand that you go play that one!

I got "Kingdom Hearts: ReChain of Memories" on PSX2, I haven't even touched that game (yeah I know, shame on me). But SH3 is just too damn good to put down.

I wanna play "Chaos Wars" on PSP, from the screen shots that I saw it's kinda reminds me of "Final Fantasy Tactics" on PS1. The real reason that I want to play this game 'cause it has Yuri and Alice as playable characters. I also heard that the English VAs in that game are god awful... If they have a option in changing the language settings, please tell me so I don't have to hack this game in saving my ears and sanity. The VAs in SH2 and SH3 are alright adds to humor in some situtations, I tend to stick to the original Japanese VAs even with watching anime.

Blame the anime club that I go to, with their strict policy of only watching anime subtitled.

I rather like Yuri's English VA in SH2 than his Japanese VA, it seems that he had more emotion in his voice.

I need to go to bed, I have alot of stuff that I need to get done before I go to work tomorrow at 4pm. Also reading Yuri X Alice fan fics online isn't helping me into getting me to sleep as well, it's makes me all the more damn hyper...

I also, randomly discovered that a good theme for those two is the "Ordinary World" by Aurora. I know that the song was originally written by Duran Duran, but I like Aurora's version better. It's more upbeat to me.

I like the ones by Puffy Tribulation over at FanFiction.net, if I can only get a hold of the author and tell them that I have a SH doujin that I randomly found online; that I know that they might like.

On a random note, my 26th birthday is next week. I really want Yuri's necklace to wear when I go to work. I don't know why, it's just looks really cool. Than again, I want his trench coat from the first SH game and the black leather cross jacket from the second one as well. I have a thing for wearing stuff like that. Other than that, on the fly then.

What I Have...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:29:21 GMT

Been doing since Pacific Media Expo. Well I had a grand time over there, it was great and I was so glad that everything went according to plan. It seems that using coupons at the places we ate saved us quite a bundle of cash to spend it on stuff.

I have been recovering from a nasty bout with broncitics, again. I must have overdid it with school and work this time around. With the way my schedule is set up, I don't get a day off from either school or work. Yeah, I know it sucks and the classes that I have been taking are rather brutal and require long hours of studying and tons, did I mentioned tons of homework. And that's only two classes I'm taking this semester too...

Jamie, if you are reading this blog. I'm sorry for not writing to you in a hella long time. It's just that my studies are really killing me as you can see. I have made myself ill on several occasions this semester and next semester should be a little bit easier as well. I'm praying that I don't get sick around my birthday this time around. Email me so we can talk some more and also I need to start working on your Christmas gift, once my finals are out of the way.

At least the 12+ extra credit paper in Astronomy 120 is complete and that is a rather huge load off of my chest. You don't know how goddamed happy I am in getting that little beast finished with. The reason for doing that paper is that it's rather nice to have some insurance in that class, considering it's the most brutal class I have taken so far.

Also, it seems that I have become a Shadow Hearts fan (go Yuri X Alice ^0^). With the Lady Maverick81 being a history buff, the game was awesome to play and while some of the historical facts were a little off. It's rather bad ass to have the infamous Mata Hari joining your party. I'm waiting to play it's sequal after finals along with "Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories". I played Shadow Hearts because I was sick over Thanksgiving vacation and was in no mood to continue writing that beast of a research paper. Playing that game brought back fond memories of myself and playing an good RPG for days on end, forgetting all about the time and I believe making my illness rather worse off than it is...

Well that's all for now, I'm writing this post in the computer lab on campus while I'm printing copies of my paper and my notes for the other class. I need to catch the bus home. I'll talk to you later then. On the fly.

I'm Off To...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:28:09 GMT

Pacific Media Expo! When I get back, I'll see if I can write a full report of my exploits there. Until then, see ya later!

Ah Crap...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:31:26 GMT

I'm sick and it sucks to miss almost a week of classes. At least it gives me some much needed R&R that I have been lacking this semester. I think I'll be able to attend the weekly anime club meeting tomorrow at 2pm. I also need to get some lab hours in as well for my Spanish 101A class. Other than that, I feel much better than I did yesterday and that's a good sign.

Other than that, I'll talk to you later then. On the fly then.

Until the Day is Done...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 06:24:17 GMT

I haven't updated the site nor this blog is about five to six months give or take. I have been both rather preoccupied with other matters than the site. It's strange really, when I was younger I would update this site and blog constantly.

But in the past three years I swear that I updated no less than five times and with three new versions for both.

I guess that my priorities in life shifted to other matters, other than the web. I'm still online, I just don't long on to any chat program. I guess that I prefer to be anonymous when I'm online. With all of the problems that I have been having with Ricardo in recent months; it seems that the challenges that have been thrown at us from left field or the other has made us somewhat stronger as a couple.

It seems that Ricardo and myself will marry, sooner or later. In this modern era, we are almost like a married couple. We have been together for more than two years. In this moment, I'm happy and satisfied with the events that been happening around me; more than last year, I can say that.

Also, it seems that Iistening to R.E.M.'s "Until the Day is Done" and "Half a World Away" is rather soothing to me, at times like what is happening it's pure therapy. It seems that I need to get their new album Accelerate soon.

Other than that, on the fly.

Computer Problems...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 02:30:44 GMT

Seems that my laptop decided to catch a cold on me and it's in the repair shop at the moment. Right after Comic Con too no less... At least it's not that serious and I was able to back up most, if not all of my stuff onto my external harddrive.

So, I'm going to be offline for a while. It might be next week when I can get back online...sigh...

So Jamie, if you are reading this blog. I'm sorry for not getting another chance to hang out during the Con... It was packed and oh boy was it packed! Other than that, I have my little GBA SP to keep me company and Final Fantasy V Advance as well. Well that's it for now, on the fly then.

Let's See...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:53:49 GMT

This might or might not be the last entry that I'll make before I head off to Comic Con. This time, I get to go for all five days. At least working at Chuck E. Cheese's is good for something... Other than that, I'm making revisions to the script for "Resident Evil: Coexistence". I might be able to update my site one more time before I leave for the convention. Also, Jamie if you are reading this entry. Please e-mail me and tell me where do you want to go for lunch when you arrive in town so we can catch up on old times. That's all for now then. On the fly.

Ebay Auctions.

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:00:38 GMT

In need for cash and to thin out my manga collection, I have posted on Ebay three sets of manga that I don't want. Down below is the listings for them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270254094941
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270254102484
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270254108445

Comic Con is only three weeks away and I'm praying that I have enough cash to go to. Hell, I was able to make it through one Comic Con on $120, this should be fairly easy...I hope. Anyways, that's it for now. On the fly then!

Anime Expo 2008

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:09:00 GMT

I'm back fro AX08 so here's my full report:

Wednesday
I got up early and waited for Ricardo to pick me up. That didn't happen and I headed for his hour and discovered that his parents were moving and rather in a hurry. So I was forced to help out and told him that I needed to get to LA and fast. This is because the hotel was in my name and my roommate were going to be there soon and want to drop there stuff in the hotel room. so I hitched a ride with my long time best friend Jimmy and made it to the hotel in one piece. I checked in dropped my stuff and headed for the convention center and picked up my pass. I liked picking up my pass this time because it took only less than five minutes! So after I got my badge and did managed to get to Ricardo's and wandered around the convention center, I stuck my head in the arcade and played a few games. I also ran into my good friend Anthony and talked to him for a while. Some time later, I meet up with Jimmy and his boyfriend Barry for dinner and some pizza place. It was really good pizza and a whole lot better than the pizza that is served at my work. After dinner I went back to my hotel room, took a shower and crashed for the rest of the night. Also the thing with Ricardo, is going to be a recurring problem for a while to come....

Thursday
I got up early, ate the free breakfast that the hotel offered which was cereal and toast. It wasn't bad, I wish they they had a better selection of cereal other than corn flakes. I took a quick shower and got dressed and then I called Ricardo. I discovered that his mother is a crazy bitch and forced Ricardo to be his personal slave for the move and was not able to make it to AX this year. At times like this: I wish that I did have a Death Note and used it on her! So for the rest of the day, I worked part time at a booth and got some free mangas and wandered around the convention center. I also learned once again that food was super expensive in the convention center and that I should never buy anything from them. I think I coughed up about $10 on a rather good pizza and a can of soda. Once again I met up with Jimmy and Barry and had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, damn good pizza I must day. After dinner we did managed to get into the AMV contest and of course was blown away from the entires, Jimmy and Barry on the other hand didn't know a lot of the titles and I had to tell them what they were, those two left halfway. So after the contest, I headed back to my hotel room took another shower and went to bed.

Friday
I overslept and missed out on the free breakfast, so I headed for Denny's down the street and pig out on steak and cheesecake. I also went to this super cool convenience store called Famima! and got some Pocky and Rumune Soda. So once again, I worked at the same booth as I did yesterday and got more free stuff. So I lingered around and after the dealer's room closed and got some dinner at some local cafe. Headed back and went to the June/801 Media Yaoi Panel and managed to win a autograph postcard and somehow lost it in my luggage (grrr). After the panel I went back to the hotel room, took another shower and crashed once again for the night.

Saturday
Got up, got dressed and I ate at Denny's and wandered around the entire convention center once again. The best deal for me was getting a four volume manga series for about $12. I wanted to go to Masquerade but tickets were sold out and instead attend the other panel called "The Last Comic Standing", never had I laughed that hard at anything before. I left during intermission and went back to my hotel room and crashed once again for the night.

Sunday
I packed up my stuff and left it in the manager's office and went to the convention center. I blew the remainder of my money on really cheap deals and left for home after the dealer's room closed. So I headed home and for once it was a smooth ride going to and from. So I got home like around seven and unpacked. I took a shower and went to bed.

So that ends my adventures at Anime Expo 2008. Down below is list of what I got.

Old Boy Vols 5 - 8
Ikebukuro West Gate Park Vols 1 - 4
Transparent Vol 1
Lava Punch Vols 1 - 2
Honey and Clover Vol 2
Figure17 Vol 2
Shin Megami Tensei: Khan Vol 1
Basara Vol 3
The Birthday
Spiral
The Worlds of Amano
Intron Deposit 4
Yuki Terai TOKYO LABYRINTH
Virtual Beauties 2020
Several book markers
Several Key chains
Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus cell phone charm

I made out with quite a haul not bad for only having $200 in cash and I used that cash on food as well. I hope that Ricardo will be able to come with me to Comic Con later on this month. Overall I had a great time, even though I was by myself... Until then. On the fly!

Here I Go...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 07:54:51 GMT

To Anime Expo 2008. I'll be offline for a few days and will post a full report sometime either Sunday Night or Monday. I have five illustrations that I'm posting at the art show for sale. One of them is framed in a 11x14 frame and the rest are matted and in protective plastic bags. I'll be wandering around with a purple Viz bag and sketchbook. So I hope to see you there!

I'm also praying that this AX will not be disastrous than last years... On the fly then

After Almost...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:48:19 GMT

Four years, I finally get to read the ending to one of my favorite yaoi mangas. It's called "Under Grand Hotel" by Mika Sadahiro. I remember posting an entry about it a while back. Anyways I was rather pleased with the ending and I demand you to read it! You download it via IRC at Nakama.

I roughly have little more than a month to get 10 drawings and a entry done for Anime Expo. So, I'll be rather busy for a while. I need to take some photos of some of my art projects that I did in my Drawing and Composition II class. Other than that, on the fly then.

Finally...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Wed, 28 May 2008 00:49:21 GMT

It's over! The spring semester is over and I passed both of my classes. With school out, I have more time to focus on my illustrations that I need to draw to sell at Anime Expo this year. I'm taking advice from Ricardo and doing a few fan service pieces for him. But other than that, school's out and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it! On the fly then.

Damn it all...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Wed, 07 May 2008 23:13:31 GMT

To hell!

I the following to complete by next week...

Final Drawing in Drawing and Composition 2 (Art 103)
Extra Credit Term Paper in Astronomy I (Astronomy 100)
Take Home Quiz consisting of 20+ questions for Astronomy I (Astronomy 100)
Study for my final in Astronomy I (Astronomy 100)
Prepare the Anime Club's pot luck and party
Prepare Derek's Birthday gift and cake

As you can see, my Astronomy teacher loads up on the work. My teacher for that class is cool and I enjoy it. But, so much to do and so little time. I'm praying that I get everything done, period!

At least I'm getting a cut from that so called tax break checks. I'm hoping it's the entire $600 that they promised. If not, I'm going to be pissed. Other that, I'm washing my uniform for work. I swear that wearing shorts in this weather sucks (it's overcast and about 64°F). I'm hoping that this gray spell will end soon. Other than that on the fly then!

About....

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:35:59 GMT

My site.

It seems that I paid the bill to late. It might take a while for my site to come back up. I'm hoping that everything is still there... If not, oh well I can always start again and I have my two online art dumps as back up. I was forced to wait until I got paid on Friday and wait 24 hours to get it deposited into my account to pay for my site, my current employer is a cheap bastard and doesn't offer direct deposit.

So bottom line, it will take a few days for my site to get back up. Sorry if this causes any inconvenience to you.

I might add that it's about almost 100°F here in Escondido? I'm not looking forward to working today... On the fly then.

Welcome to...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:58:35 GMT

Both Xanthe's Echo version 6.0 and Xanthe version 18. It's been nearly three years since I updated both this blog and site. Now since I'm starting to get back in the groove of things, it was time for a change. I have work later on tonight and will not get out until 11pm or later, depending on how many people are there.

If you are wondering, I now work at Chuck E. Cheese's as a cashier, it's not bad of a gig. At least they cater to students and I can request almost any vacation (if made long in advance). At least I'm not the mascot (hurray for being over 5'6") I just ring up customers and keep the salad bar stock. I'm still going to school at the moment and I have until the end of next month until the semester ends. I'm so looking forward to Anime Expo and Comic Con. I'm having artwork displayed at AX and Comic Con I'm just going to volunteer and crash at a friend's house.

Well that's it for now, I hope that you enjoy the new site and keep you eye on this blog. On the fly then!

New World.

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 07:09:05 GMT

It's been almost a year since I last updated both my blog and my site... A lot has happened in that span of time. I have been fired from one job and hired by another; whom I'm still working for at the moment. I have attended three disastrous conventions... I was nearly forced out of my house in the wake of a firestorm. I have passed both classes this semester; while I have failed one last semester. Through it all, I have experienced a lot. I have grown as a person and became very humbled from these experiences. I'm praying that 2008 will be a better year for me. Hopefully, I'll get over this cold...

Change is coming, I'm working on that change.

One Thing I Don't Miss About School...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 07:37:29 GMT

Is the homework, I hate homework. Especially, when you have to define 100+ words in one night. Thank god for online dictionaries, all you have to do is just cute and paste! I'm back at school and have been recovering from what it seemed to be the flu. I got off easy, I just got the "not-so-pain-in-the-ass-version" that I got from work. At least I got that and not the one that my co-worker got...

Other than that, I'm up late at this hour 'cause of homework an it's done thank god. At least the 100+ word part. I have an art assignment to work on next and that will be for tomorrow night. For right now, I'm going to bed.

On yeah, before I go. I'm working on a new version of Xanthe and Xanthe's Echo. Once I get a tablet and a better version of Dreameaver that is... On the fly then.

I Really Can't...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Sun, 07 Jan 2007 23:24:44 GMT

Explain why I'm currently outdoors with my trusty laptop and watching my Dad and my Boyfriend put posts in for my mother's new greenhouse.

Then again, it kinda turns me on to see my boyfriend period. Yes, yes, I'm that horny.

I hope that we can go out for some sweets and coffee later on. I'm craving Star bucks and something chocolate. I'm hoping that they get done soon so we can go out and do something.

I'm still trying to get use to having the weekends off, at my last job I almost never had a weekend off. Feels like I'm back in high school, somewhat. Other than that, it's rather windy and I want something warm to drink. I'll think I'll boil some hot water for some hot chocolate. On the fly then.

Okay...

ladymaverick81@hotmail.com — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 18:15:42 GMT

I haven't been up to date with this blog nor my site. Hell, I haven't drawn anything during the semester. I just have been both super lazy and busy all at the same time. Also, having a boyfriend who is really amazing to be with is another added bonus too.

For starters, I got a new job at a western apparel store. I help put the finishing touched on really glitzy clothing and so forth. It’s a 9 to 5 gig and I get the weekends off, they are cater to my school schedule as well. So that’s all good. I can finally kiss my other job good-bye, forever. I like it, in it that I can wear my normal everyday clothes and not have to worry about putting on a tacky uniform. Also, I don’t have to worry about my pain in the ass co-workers at my last job.

Other than that, I’m enjoying my Christmas vacation. Even though I did worked two jobs at the same time, the double paychecks are rather nice and I have some extra cash on me for once. With my new job, I’m getting paid $8.50 an hour instead of my current $7.21. In my last job, I’m pulling six or seven day work streaks. With the shortage of staff and so forth, my work schedule is a royal pain in the ass. Oh well, starting January 1, 2007 it’s all over for that job. I have never gotten a better Christmas gift if I say so myself.

In my current situation with my boyfriend, we are going to celebrate our fifth month anniversary today. I can’t believe that I have been with him for that long. Also, how close we have become and really comfortable I have become when I'm around him. He loves me for all my errors and defects and sees me as beautiful... I couldn't have found a better person that I would want to spend the rest of my life with him.

I can’t believe that this year has gone so fast. Also, I still can’t believe that I’m going to turn 24 next month on the 13th. My parents asked me what present that I wanted. I said to them that I want money to pay for my books. The price for classes may have gone down, but the price for books is still another little pain in the ass. Get this, for one book used it’s about $80 to $100. I might try getting my books either online or someplace else! I think I might do that this semester, might get some extra cash on my line. I need to save every little penny for the 2007 anime convention year!

In speaking on conventions, I’m going to Las Vegas for my 24th Birthday to attend Anime FF. It’s going to be about a six hour drive, but I’m game for it. Going to an anime convention with six other people is rather fun. In it that you might never know what’s going to happen! Anime LA is null and void because of my boyfriend's parents wedding on the same weekend, damn...

Considering all of the car problems me and my friends had with conventions in the past. With Anime Expo 2006 it was one of the cars that broke down. Then with Pacific Media Expo 2006 it was a rock flying into the wind shield and cracking it. My boyfriend is going to drive and he’s said that he’s going to drive super slow and have the hazard lights on to make sure that everyone sees him. I’m hoping that nothing happens on the way to and from Anime FF.

Well that's it for now, I hope that you guys had a Merry Christmas. I know that I did. Also I hope that you had a Happy New Year as well. On the fly then!

With Going Down...

Memory lane for me has been really therapeutic with the recent hell of my part time job. I really wanna quit that job, so I'm filling applications one after the other. With the holiday season coming up, I have a good foot in the door at least. I hope...

Other than that, I have been watching old school anime that I saw raw back in high school. Mostly I have been watching "Cutey Honey" in all of it's forms. I want to see the new live action movie the most. Other than that, I have a date with the dentist's drill on Wednesday at 11am.

I also have a list of what conventions I'm going to or at least trying to go to for next year.

January 26-28, 2007: Anime Los Angeles (Van Nuys, California)

June 29-July 2, 2007: Anime Expo (Long Beach, California)

July 26-29, 2007: Comic Con International: San Diego (San Diego, California)

October 5-7, 2007: Ani-Magic (Lancaster, California)

October 27-28, 2007: Pacific Media Expo (Los Angeles, California)

To Maq and Ruby, I'm sorry but this time I cannot attent Otakon next year. As you can see Otakon is cutting it close and I will not have the cash for it. Maybe in 2008, I hope... I need a better job that pays more. I heard that they upping minimum wage soon, that's good for me. Well that's it for now, on the fly then.
