way too busy for my own good

Life has been crazy as usual, school and work... and dude, work has been really different lately.

It all started when our district manager had to step down from her post for a family matter, and was replaced by new woman. This lady is really nice, and I like her a lot. However, if you don't do your job you'll be in big trouble! xD This lady doesn't bluff like the others did... like, three people have now been fired/laid off since she's been in control of our district. Our store has a skeleton crew again, yay... just in time for Christmas! So many changes are happening, but I hope it will be for the best. All I can do is trust God right now because I don't have many other options...

School is going well, it's just wearing me out. I'm kinda getting tired of having to wake up early every day. @.@

Sleeep

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............

I need sleep....


so much sleep....

Programming class is so boring sometimes. ~_~

*sigh*

Anifest 2009

YAY ANIME FEST!!!

I have several photos of the Anime Fest 2009 in Dallas. Sorry for the low quality, all I had was my camera phone. x_o The image above is of me and my coworker Jesse at the dealer's room on Sunday. I cosplayed as Deidara from Naruto! ^o^

Just a shot of the dealer's room. Again, sorry for the poor quality of these photos. I really wish I had brought my digital camera with me. u_u From what you can see from this photo, this is just one corner of the room. The room they used was very large, unfortunately not many dealers came this year so there was a lot of free space.



Just before the Naruto photo-shoot started I took this picture of two girls dressed as Itachi and Deidara. Reminds me of when I went as a fem-Sasuke at Ikkicon two years ago.



This was one of my favorite pictures during the Naruto photo-shoot. I really liked Suigetsu's sword... it was very well done. It seemed he actually worked for the convention because whenever some of the cosplayers would get out of line he'd jump up there with his sword and get everybody back to where they were supposed to be. xD



This is probably the best picture of me in my costume. n_n I took this at my Mom's apartment. You have no idea what kind of trouble I had to go through to get that wig ready in time for the convention. No idea. @_@



It's all of us Akatsuki. ^o^ That's me there on my knees beside Hidan. As you can see there were a couple of Tobis, and a handful of Deidaras. Only one person cosplayed as Hidan, and a couple cosplayed as Itachi. No Kisame. :(



A close-up shot. If you look real close you can see a girl standing behind me with black hair. She was cosplaying as Itachi... she was so cute! She kept locking her arm with mine as we were standing there watching the photo-shoot. So sweet. X3

Poor Tobi.

I wasn't sure what this was but it looked really cool. lol

This was one of my favorite costumes. This guy took a bunch of mountain dew cans and made a samurai suit out of them! :D So cool! He walked around the con yelling 'Do the Dew!'.

That's all the photos I got for now... I may upload some more later on a future post. :p I really enjoyed this year's con, it was so much better than it was two years ago. (at least for me, anyways) It seemed smaller this year but I didn't mind... I got to do most of all the things I wanted to do this time and two of those things was cosplaying and going to the cosplay contest. All in all, great convention!

More posties

Yaaaay new post... maybe I'll be more frequent now. X3

As most of you DA people probably already know, my tablet is getting fixed for some sleeping problems and a volume button that does not work properly. Right now I'm using my macbook to do everything my tablet was doing... which isn't so easily done with a punier computer. Thankfully I had the money to go out and buy a new tablet for it so I can still work on my art while my computer is being fixed. ^_^

I payed for my classes today and bought my books. Hmmm, lets see. It was $1300 for tuition and $487 for my books. @___@ A little bit more expensive than it was last year. I'm excited about it tho, this semester I take my first programming class! NANSI C. My biology book looks cool... its got a snow leopard on it. :>

Oh... and I got a Twitter. http://twitter.com/bluieberrysoda <-- Kinda boring but I thought I'd join since everyone else has. lol

Just another Friday

It's Friday and I'm actually off work! o__o; Amazing!

Well, it's not THAT amazing... instead of working today I work tomorrow so it's not all that great. xD But that's okay, I work with a really great team of people so it can be fun going to work. (note: 'can' be fun) lol

Yesterday was Ben's birthday! ^_^ He turned 24! He's such a old man. lol I bought him a chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream in the middle. For his birthday I bought him a brand new super duper gateway computer. It's got a terabyte of HD space, 8 gb of ram, a quad core processor, and a duo video card. o__o;; Makes my tablet look weak.

If Ben doesn't stay out too late tonight working we might be going to see that GI-Joe movie with one of his buddies for his birthday. I know that movie looks kinda corny but it'll be fun to watch. :p At least I can enjoy mocking it.

A weekend with Mom

^_^ Well my weekend was sure busy!

Friday morning Ben and I drove to my Mom's place in Grapevine for a weekend visit. We were keeping ourselves busy the whole time! When we got there we didn't stay at her apartment long because she had a party planned at a nearby bowling alley/lazer tag/pool place. @_@ It was sooooooo cool! It was called Main Event, and they had it going on there for real. Everything was lit up in black light and they had cool disco lights everywhere. At first I was having a real hard time bowling but I got better over time. Afterwords we went to some fancy italian place called Carrabba's. o_o; It was odd because it had plants on the roof. lol.

Saturday we left first thing in the morning to go to Waco. First we went to the zoo and then to the Dr. Pepper museum. Ofcourse we were all craving Dr. Pepper after we had watched all the old commercials at the museum and had looked at all their displays. :p We found a cute little diner place that had been in Waco for SEVERAL years to eat at, which was cool because it was very nostalgic. The zoo was fun but it was waaaaaay too hot outside for me to enjoy it. @__@;; Ben was just fine, as usual. He takes the heat a lot better than me... him being one of those outdoorsey people. Even the animals at the zoo seemed to be bothered by the heat. There was a huge black bear that stayed in it's pool the entire time, sloshing around and making biting gestures at my Mom through the glass. O_o;; It was kinda funny to see. I really, really wanted to see some big cats but the jaguar was all tired out and was kinda in a slumped position with it's back facing the glass, so it was hard to get a good picture of it. The lions stayed far away from the fence in the shaded area, so it was even harder to get a good look at them. The zoo had one meerakat, which I thought was REALLY cute! ^^

Today we went to my Mom's church and then went to visit her parents in Anna. It was a nice visit, but Ben and I were ready to get back home so we wouldn't have to drive the 2 1/2 hour drive back home in the dark. @_o

and now... I'm done. :D I'M HOME YAY! I missed my Buu. *hugs her dog*

Memorial Day weekend '09

Yay! I got signed up for summer classes and they start next week! @__@ I'll be taking government and sociology. I've still been working at BAM, and Ben is working on getting his own portion of the house turned into a 'man cave'. :p Needless to say, we have been very busy. Before Boudewijn visits in July we're planning to get the spare bedroom ready. We've got a lot of work to do... but it'll be fun. ^o^

I hope everyone had a good Memorial day weekend. I sure did! We did our usual thing where we go to lake Gladewater and spend a few hours there. We roasted hot dogs and snacked on chips and juice. <3 It was sooooo good too. When we got home I roasted marshmellows over my gas stove... it's sort've become a new strange habbit of mine. o_O; It all started when I got the crazy idea to roast marshmellows over scented candles...

*insert long story about marshmellows cooked over scented candles here*

... and that's how I got into roasted marshmellows over my gas stove. I highly recommend it, it's fun! ;p *burns her kitchen down in 5 minutes*
