12:28 am - ANIMANIA 03 2011 // REBORN!
HI.  I'M GOING TO EAT YOUR SOUL.
Man, who needs photoshop when make-up, circle lenses and false eyelashes will give you GIANT SOULESS EYEBALLS OF DOOM.
( A LOT MORE (OF REALLY BIG IMAGES) UNDER THE CUT. )
ALL IN ALL, A FAINTLY HILARIOUS DAY.
MY HIGHLIGHT, THOUGH, WAS KIYO.
( IMAGE 8D )
Embarrassingly enough, it appears I actually already knew Kiyo. He was the Mad Hatter who won King of the Night opposite me in my fabulous pantsless Zhou Tai, whose feet I stepped on as we waltzed and who I ditched on the dancefloor when my wardrobe majorly malfunctioned and my hip skirts fell off.
I... am more amused by this than I should be, but when I was chatting with Kiyo (by which I mean, FLAILING AT AN EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH PITCH AND SPEED AT HIM. LINC TELLS ME MY EXPRESSION OF UNHOLY GLEE WAS ACTUALLY FRIGHTENING), I was suddenly struck by the thought I had seen him before. Unfortunately, he had already recognised me and had to politely clue me in that I had pretty much accidentally stripped in his arms.
KIYO, GUYS. KIYOOOOOOOO. KJAJKJKWE.
Then, because I am a ninja creeper, I found him on facebook and friended him and hassled him into agreeing to do a photoshoot with me when I fix up Nene properly ♥ SCORE. I WILL THROW ONIGIRI AT HIM AND IT WILL BE FANTASTIC JHAJKKJWE I CANNOT WAIT.

IN THE CONTINUEING SAGA OF, MY LIFE IS REALLY VERY PATHETIC AND MOSTLY HILARIOUS, LET ME OFFER YOU A FURTHER GLIMPSE OF MY FACEBOOK WALL.
*BREATHE*
( MORE BENEATH THE CUT BECAUSE LIFE IS TRAGIC (+ NSFW(?) image) )
I am just so... I DO NOT EVEN.
Meanwhile, I have been cheerfully hacking and slashing my way through Sengoku Basara, which has stolen my soul even more than SW3 did, because the... girls are more kickass? I like the character dynamics, or something, which is terrible timing as the SW3:XL gameplay vids are trickling out and I haven't watched them yet.
( My bias, let me show it to you. :'D )

My life, as told in facebook status updates + selected comment exerpts:
( THE SAGA OF THE MISSING CONTACT. )
MY LIFE, GUYS. MYYYY LIFE.
In between that, I used like, half a bottle of solution and whoooole lot of eyedrops and felt a phantom contact in my eye ALL NIGHT LONG. And sat through an embarrassing visit to the optomotrist where I had to explain that, yes, my contact is very large and pink and, yeah, you'd probably be able to see it in my eyeball if it were there but if it's not in my eyeball, then where could it beeee? jkjkjkawe
But, well, I am an idiot.
In unrelated news, this conversation actually happened with fire_ban's mum because I appear not to possess more than three brain cells.
"Your hair looks really different! :0 Did you do something new with it?"
":< My fringe is growing out and I am unkempt."
"Noooo, did you straighten it or something?"
"Well, I accidentally got toothpaste in it over here but..."
^ And then we were cut off by Jo's laughing fit;;;; (On the other hand, toothpaste. ;; Makes your hair smell minty fresh!)
We also watched Yukikaze which is full of crazy and more crazy and quite a bit of gay, despite the main pairing being Plane x Pilot, in that order. I... did not understand it all because there was a bit too much crazy. And also, the full title is BATTLE FAIRY YUKIKAZE and it is SET ON THE PLANET FAIRY where the FAIRY AIR FORCE fights against the EVIL ALIENS 'JAM'.
... It possibly destroyed my three remaining braincells and thus, I am left with none. :'D
And because knowing me, I am not going to update for a good long while, so, some photos and stories of cosplay related shenanigans.
( 2x blurry photos :0 )
Saa. What an idiotic hobby. I quit it forever.

So, I am ill.
Faintly ridiculously ill, where I am on antibiotics, the doctor was throwing around words like "bronchitis" and "don't give me that look, you lungs are inflamed." and writing down notes to the tune of "looks unwell" after I gave him very dubious =_____= looks. (No one wants bronchitis. It is a scary word.)
Also, I have taken refuge in the lounge where I refuse to move from my lordly seat which includes sleeping, which I am forced to do in one to three hour periods, sitting up. Swallowing sadly triggers my gag reflex; lying down makes my lungs revolt. I full accept that this is so pathetic that it's tipping over into hilarious because various members of the family have come home to my sitting up in the dark with a hooded scarf wrapped securely around my neck and the hood drawn down over my eyes.
It also has bright button eyes and bear ears.
Anyway, I am a little surprised and impressed that no one has screamed. I suppose I am a somewhat fearsome sight in the near dark, before reality intervenes. Truly, my family's willpower is strong.
Meanwhile, I wrote almost a thosand words of Sengoku Basara fic while in the thrall of a slightly delusional fever and rereading over it is a little bit amusing and mostly worrying because it appears I harbour tendancies towards mass slaughter of the world when not quite lucid.
Spreaking of Sengoku Basara, I have been playing it entirely too much and it is taking over my soul. ( What little soul I had left after Koei was done with it. )
Also, in a strange and remotely hilarious crossover of fandoms, Kinki Kids have announced they're doing the next ending song for DW7. It's called Time and will likely be released in the next two months, pre-dating the game release. Ahahajkwjeakwe.
Now, who wants to write me fic with Koichi as an avid gamer, playing through DW and SW and even Basara and sympathising lots with Mitsunari's "I don't need it." whenever he eats a riceball to get health?

Last night, yobanashi mistakenly introduced me to the 2009 taiga drama, Tenchijin.
I am fairly sure she regretted it but, guys, this drama is amazing.
If only for Mitsunari.
I am fairly certain I had a really undignified hysterical fit when I found out who the actor was. ( You'll never guess kjjkawe )
However, I am far more enamoured with the actor who plays Yukimura.
( GUYS, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS ACTOR, ALL OF YOU. OR, AT LEAST THE TENIMYU FANS. )
And then I spent the next two hours watching tenimyu videos on youtube.
Yudan sezu ni Ikou with like, the most adorable Momo ever and interim!Kaidou between giant scary first-gen Kairou and doujinshi Kaidou of the fourth cast! But, Shirota Yuu can sing ♥ Unlike incredible Stoneface!Tezuka on the first cast who looked so much like Tezuka but was hilariously off key. :'D
And here! A Shirota Yuu solo, singing Yume wo Tsunage which is A REALLY YUKIMURA SONG. CRYING LAUGHING.
BONUS. IN CASE YOU THOUGHT SHIROTA YUU HAD ANY DIGNITY AT ALL, HE WAS ALSO TUXEDO MASK IN THE SAILOR MOON MUSICALS.
And now, because Hyoutei will always be my favourite school since they reminded me of my ridiculous private school, a few other songs:
Koori no Emperor because Hyoutei are goddamn pimp.
Ore-sama no bigi ni Boogie Woogie because they also have no dignity.
And my favourite tenimyu song ever, Season which is entirely because Atobe gives his team a proud papa look and it is adorable.
AH, NOSTALGIA.

03:50 am - kinky cosplay porn :3
I meet up with my high school friends about once a month for dinner, gossip and excitable shrieking which inevitably happens when a group of twenty-somethings get together. They're some of the funniest people I know and not just because collectively, we're full of all of those private catholic schoolgirl neurosis stereotypes and quite the pastiche parody.
(Sadly, my schooling? Was all about the stereotypes because we had straw hats and pinstriped pinafores, bitches. And in summer, would sit in the sun on the circular drive, this giant oval driveway that sat in front of the 19th century converted mansion -> convent -> school that's heritage listed.
My school was fabulous, okay?
These types of places do tend to produce a uh, certain kind of girl. For example, body image is something that comes up a bit and sadly, not in the normal "I AM SO FAT ;A;" sort of way, but in a utterly pragmatic "I have hoof feet and cannot wear ballet flats." sort of way.
Sadly, this sentence actually was spoken.
Followed by, "No, I'm not complaining or anything! I just have really small but wide feet, so they look like hooves. I don't really care so I'm okay with avoiding flats and open toed shoes." because she sincerely, utterly, 100% believes that she has hoof feet.
Girls. XD But I think we all have at least some sort of major illogical hang up about our bodies, though perhaps not so obvious. I'm not telling mine. People would just laugh at my hoof feet.)
So let me tell you about L.
L is gorgeous in that super model height, delicate features sort of way and stinkingly rich, with an attitude to match. Not that she isn't lovely sometimes but the phrase harmlessly self-centered comes to mind. She stays in university in order to stay on the uni touch rugby team and take part in some... organisation that puts on dance shows and galas and such.
Recently, she participated in bikini-clad jelly wrestling.
With great determination and surely, natural talent, she reached the finals to face off against a porn star. There are some special rules in jelly wrestling, such as if the match goes over time, one can win by crotch-facing the opponent. It's exactly as it sounds: win by shoving your crotch in someone's face.
So that's L: pretty, athletic, had a semi-naked porn star shoving her crotch in her face, and occasionally completely un-ironically talking about pop culture being degrading to women. I'm sad I missed this dinner but on the other hand, I don't think even L would have asked me this to my face but in my absence, in a quiet lull to the conversation, she says,
"Is Karen a porn star?!"
just_confused was there and totally, on my behalf, was going to say yes since if an old high school friend believes you do kinky costume porn, I say milk it for all it's worth. Unfortunately, another friend of mine is not actually a dick so cleared up the misunderstanding - I had a photo with a porn star but not because we were doing porn together.
I could have backed it up, too.
( I am fairly hilariously sure that these are not actually work safe. )
And in the interest of group solidarity, animesque and fire_ban ( AND THEIR FACES ;Db )
All photos the work of the indomitable lainex who set up an incredibly pro photoshoot day with reflectors, white backdrop and all, then tirelessly slaved over photoshop to make us all look fantastic. :0 Her professional portfolio can be found here so go and check it out~ ♥ You can find MOAR of us in the cosplay section. There's even a photo where I don't look indecent! :0!
My. 8D I certainly seem like a functioning person, most of the time, don't I? ♥ In reality, I am the closest to falling to pieces that I have been in the past year or so.
