Hush, Love, Don't cry,
It'll be alright,
Hold me close,
As I administer the dose,
Listen to my lullaby of lies.

Okay, so on Friday, me, Celeste, Daku, Sako, Sekai, Anna, and Fluffy all went to A2F. It was amazing! On Friday, I cosplayed as Rosiel, from Angel Sanctuary. Sadly, I couldn't get pictures...My camera batteries died...Saturday, me and Daku cosplayed as female and male Ranma. We did a skit in the cosplay contest that night. We called it "How To Be Ninja With Ranma Soutome". Sekai filmed it for Daku. Here it is:
HE OFFICIALLY PROPOSED!!!!! I was so shocked!! And everyone kept congratulating us, hugging us, and taking pictures of us. And later, when we got back up to our hotel room, he gave me an engagement present: a professional Yuna costume!! I didn't like playing as Yuna in FFX, but I liked her storyline. So, I put the costume on and went downstairs with Daku to find some food for supper. While we were in the bar (only Sako drank, as she was the only one old enough and the only one who liked drinking...Sekai's old enough, too, but she doesn't like drinking...), Sammy Inoue-Hart was there, so me and Sako went and got our picture taken with her. For those of you who don't know, Sammy does the voices of the chocobos for the Final Fantasy series.
So, that's my big news. I also trumped the people doing the Anti-Twilight panel. During the Q&A session, I raised my hand and said, "Okay, I already know the answer, but I want to know if you can get this: In a fight between Edward and Blade, who would win?" Naturally, all 3 panel people said Blade would win. So I said, "Wrong! Nobody would win because Blade only fights VAMPIRES!!!" Everyone burst into laughter, and the panel people called me up front. The girl gave me a hug. The guy leading it first informed me that it was hilarious that I was dressed as Ranma, as his first cosplay was Genma Soutome (Ranma's dad). He then proceeded to bear-hug me and lift me into the air. This was before the skits took place...
All in all, it was the best weekend ever.
Well, stay classy, Otakuites!

So, I have an update for my Sophomore Review........
I PASSED!!!
I'm so excited about that one! My professors were actually impressed with my work! I'm thinking about posting a gallery specially made for the Review pieces...I don't know...
I have most of my papers and other assignments completed for my Education and History classes. I've got maybe 2 or 3 more things to do. Also, I will have a job beginning July 1st! So I think I'm just going to remain on campus for the summer. During the month of June, I'll probably just do community service to get free summer housing. When I start that job, it will be work study, so I should get free housing for that, too.
Unfortunately, I've only got two more weeks of classes, and then May 11th begins Finals Week...Ugh, the dreaded Finals!! Hm...Let's see, I know I'll have to take the Yoga final (some of which contains Sanskrit), the Theories of Human Learning final, and the World Civilization 2 final...The Families and Students in a Diverse Society final is optional, but you do have to take it if you want an A in the class, so I'll probably go ahead and be an overachiever and reach for that A...Besides, if I do poorly, it can't hurt my grade...In both Sculpture 1 and Figure Drawing 1, I will only have a final critique, so no pressure there.
The day after Finals are over, I get to move into the on-campus apartments! And then that Monday, Maymester begins. It'll be 3 whole weeks of nothing but Education classes...I'm actually excited about it because I'll be working side-by-side with an art teacher at a junior high school. I've already met her and she seems really fun!
Oh, and at Room Selection on Tuesday, Celeste (my roommate and self-proclaimed twin) and I got into the on-campus apartments! It's a big thing because they're MUCH nicer than the dorms...In the apartments, we will share a bathroom with only 2 other girls, who we both know and love! And our other neighbor will be Mantha, whom I've known and loved since 8th grade. The apartments also have a full kitchen! The dorms only have a tiny, crappy, useless one...Anyways, we also opted for the 7-meal-a-week plan. We plan to take full advantage of our culinary skills and that full kitchen...We're also going to learn to buy in bulk...I'll probably end up just finding my way to the nearest Sam's Club and signing up for a membership card. My mom's got one, so I'll talk to her about it more later.
Speaking of my mother, I don't think she's too thrilled that I want to stay here for the summer. She's always had a bit of a problem with me being independent. But I'm 20 years old, and I think it's time to continue cutting on that umbilical cord! I began the process 2 years ago when I came to this university, which is a 3-hour drive from my house...At least it's in the same state! Well, I do feel bad about not visiting my parents very often, but this is how life goes! Parents have child, child grows up and learns from parents, child moves off from parents to lead an independent life. I'm at that third and final step of being a child...Though, I still plan to visit my parents over the summer. My mom's having that "empty nest" syndrome. I'm the oldest of 2 kids. My younger (I don't say little because he's bigger than me...) brother is a Senior in high school this year. Fortunately for mom, he's planning to attend the local community college for the first 2 years, meaning he'll be living at home. Then he's transferring to a state university. I'm currently attending a private university...Anyways, yeah, mom's got the "empty nest" syndrome...But she'll be fine. She'll come to enjoy the peace and quiet...Not to mention the amount of control she'll have over the remote control! My dad's a trucker, so he's only home on weekends...
Okay, now, for a complete and utter change in topic! I'm going to an anime convention this weekend! My boyfriend, 2 of our friends, and I are all leaving tomorrow afternoon, around 2:30 or so. I'm utterly ecstatic!! My fiance and I were going to go as male and female Ranma, from "Ranma 1/2", but his wig still hasn't come in, and if it doesn't come in by tomorrow, he's going as Kakuzu, and I'm going as Sasori, both from "Naruto". One of our friends is going as himself, as he is a character all his own. Our other friend will probably borrow whichever costume I don't use, as she's relatively the same size as me.
Oh, by the way, feel free to color my latest lineart!
Well, that's it for now! Stay classy, Otakuites!
