Back from Denver. Tired. Internal clock asploded. Eating dinner at 12:19 AM wtf.

I got seventh place in Fashion Design. Happy happy joy joy. :D
Now, I'm certainly not ungrateful, but I'm really annoyed that one of the top 3 finalists had the most hideous suit I've ever seen. Didn't get a good look at their dress. But it wasn't just that it was ugly, it was badly made. out of leather. and safety pins. :/ That was the only team I recognized, I'm not sure who else won. So all I'm saying is I think I deserved 6th place. XD

Watched Beauty and the Beast like 6 times during the trip. a;lkgjs; I love that movie so much. Really hate how Belle looks half the time, though. Her face is weird.
The beast's voice on the other hand. unf. wait what.

Apple replace my old iPod touch. Poor Miles died suddenly. The new one is names Franziska. :3
Anyone want to buy a pink 4GB iPod nano (the one I had before I got Miles.  Its name is Maria.)? It's an older one (one of these guys), so it doesn't play video. Some little scratches but nothing big. I guess it's worth around $30-$40? If anyone's interested let me know, I can post pics and whatnot.  Best offer gets it.

also.
THE (✔)-(✖) MEME // my thread
Be as honest as you want to; I'm not as fragile as I look.
I love these things.

IN HONOR OF MY SWEET SIXTEEN.

EPIC GIF PARTY.

READY?

GO.

So, word on the street is that I'm 16 now.  Fancy that.
gdi I'm getting old.

More importantly MORE BABBY PICTURES.
he had his first bath.

...he did not want.

Firstly HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALBA.

Speaking of birthdays.  My sixteenth is in 6 days.  In case you wanted to send me a card or something, y'know.  I could give you my address.  
Not that I require anything, mind you.  A simple "happy birthday" or reference to how much of a whippersnapper I am is appreciated greatly.

And then memes.

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.
knackster gave me-

1) BABBY
I has a brotherrr and he's cute and stuff. You're all probably sick of him by now lol. I can't help it, he makes such cute faces.

2) WALLET
woaaah memories. Ok I guess Otakon 08 wasn't that long ago but whatever. So glad he ended up finding his wallet. Otherwise that would've been the worst Duck Duck Goose game EVER.
No I'm not going to explain this.

3) SQUID
AW MAN, SQUID TOTALLY BEEFED IT.
Don't act like you don't love Rocket Power. I see through your lies.

4) UNDERROOS
oh fuck you man. I tried to forget that.
Ok, so for those of you who weren't at Otakon last year to witness this. A lovely James cosplayer and I (in my Maria costume) were chatting and stuff right outside the convention center when she thought it would be a great idea to throw me over her shoulder. Pretty much the entire Silent Hill photoshoot and like 50 random Baltimore citizens got to see a lovely view up my skirt.
Luckily I'm not easily embarassed.

5) nauuuughtttyyyyy

dat tan.
I'm so sorry. I had to go there.

And another meme. Also fromknackster because apparently she just sits around and does memes all day.

Mark which things you have done, then calculate your score by counting the number of questions you marked. This test is out of 100 questions which means that the number you get as your score is also your percentage. Tag 10 of your friends, just do it and re-post as "I do stupid things __% of the time."

( I do stupid things 73% of the time ahaha I'm amazing )

Heyyy Otakon people.  Does anyone have a hotel room within walking distance from the convention center and need a roommate? :D  I figured I'd ask around before I just got one with my dad, since he doesn't want to stay in Baltimore very much.  Also it saves everyone money which is always good. 

Not much else happening.  TSA nationals are a week from today.  We ahead of where we were this time before states.  We just need to fix a few things on the dress and then make a new suit jacket.  We're going to try and make a vest too because we are ~OVERACHEIVERS~ and judges like that stuff. 

I'm gonna go draw some more Franziska.  <3

Sorry to spam you guys so much, but this needed to be shared.



This is truly my brother.

AHHHHHOMGOMGOMGOMG.

GUYS.

maybe you already know this but play along anyway
GUESS WHO IS IN ACE ATTORNEY INVESTIGATIONS. GO ON. GUESS.
( cut for people weary of micro spoilers )

What's that? You want more baby pictures? Siiigh. I guess I can give you guys some more.


He's like a koala bear.
Don't you love how I completely ignore Babs and just post on LJ around him. XD

( A bunch more under the cut )

Work in progress pics of my Cheryl cosplay coming soon. Almost done with the jumper, just need to put the white trim on the top, then put those kitten things on it.

• My facebook username is now chickentetrazzini. Don't act like you're not jealous. #
• Babs was really quiet in the hospital and all today, but now he won't stop crying. :[ #
• The new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is so amazing, especially compared to the old one. It actually follows the source material. Crazy! #
• Just realized the tv that Mike TeeVee gets transported into is playing 2001 A Space Odyssey and the chocolate bar is the monolith. Awesome. #

ive stopped crying.  stopped screaming.  no more food so no more eating either.  it doesnt help no matter what you do.  i dont do anything anymore.  sitting here staring at the door.
just me now.  no one else.  no ones here.
sometimes the door opens and they all rush in and i run but they come faster everywhere on the floor and on the ceiling cant run more cant run more
but they arent here theyre there and im here but not really.  where am i.  left me down in th ebasement with her.  she said she was ok she was fine stop worrying you always do that.  worry worry worry and die before your 30.   be carefree like her.  die when youre 16. 
they're out there now theyre in here too and i'm somewhere
cant sleep,  crash crash bang every night everywhere.

oh god the door.  the door is gone.  i can hear her coming but i cant look dont look just hear her step step step right there.  outside my room i hear her say you're living with your auntie and uncle in bel-air.  I wistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror.

• Got to bring the baby brother home today. We watched The Colbert Report together. #
• I underestimated how difficult my Cheryl costume would be to make. I hate sewing with patterns. So much. >:| #
• To clarify on that last tweet. I mean I hate sewing fabric with patterns on it, not using patterns to sew. I need those. #
• I suppose I should say Go Pens. I hate watching sports, but some people *cough*Lyse*cough* make being a hockey fan look so fun... #

I know what you're thinking.  Who is that GQ mofo right there in that sweet ass hat?  I'll tell you who that is THAT'S MY NEW BRO.
Lol babies make silly constipated faces.

Mom and Matt opted not to go for any of my suggested names (Apparently he'd get beat up if his name was Ozymandias Scott Kennedy....?  Whatev.) and went with Brendan. 

Matt texted me that pic today at school.  I get to meet him tomorrow.  :]

So I watched that pilot episode of Glee that folks have been talking about.  It seems ok.  Doesn't seem like the kind of show I'll get really into, but I'll probably watch it at least for a few more episodes.

I watched Fanboys.  Great movie.  I wish that I had a group of friends like those guys irl.  All of my fandom friends are on LJ which prevents us from going on crazy road trips and trashing Star Trek conventions and whatnot.  :| 
I would also be perfectly cool with having a girlfriend who could name all the Bond villains, regularly quote Clash of the Titans, and cosplayed slave Leia.  Ah Kristen Bell.  why so perfect?
My friends came over after finals today and we watched Star Wars 1 and 3.  I don't care what people say, I didn't think the 3rd one was that bad.  Especially after the first and second.  It's kind of overdramatic, but it makes me happy.
Also R2 got a Toasty Torpedo at Quizno's and it was awesome. 

Bought the fabric for my Cheryl Mason cosplay.  It's a brighter blue than it should be, so I'm gonna wash it once or twice, see if that fades it at all.
I'm so excited for Otakon this summer.  You don't even know.  I need a third cosplay idea though.   Anyone have ideas?   I was thinking Dr. Saunders from Dollhouse possibly, because Dollhouse generally gets no love.  Or like.  Anyone from Ace Attorney.   or...y'know...the other stuff I like.
or motherfucking Curtis Craig ahaha no.
so, suggestion box goes here. 

Baby brother is due in 5 days.   :]

In regards to the SH:Shattered Memories footage that was released.  The game looks good enough that I'll play it.  From what I can tell so far, i won't like it.  What's bugging me at the moment is that Otherworld isn't anywhere near as scary as in the other games.  It's just like...cold and run down looking.  There's nothing that drastically different.  Instead of all of the sudden finding yourself in hell, it's like you wondered into the bad side of town on Christmas.  terrifying.  

SPAM SUSHI IS SO GOOD. I just made some a few days ago, and I'll make more tonight for lunch tomorrow.  it makes your house smell delicious.  Spam is so nasty looking before you cook it though.   I'm so serving some at my sweet sixteen.
Don't judge it before you try it.  It seriously took me a year to actually buy some spam at the store.  It felt too blasphemous.
Then again, I make tiramisu with twinkies so fuck you culinary gods.

Last day of school before finals is monday SO.  EXCITED.  I finished almost all of my work except my infomercial for gym class and some slideshow on Frankenstein for English.  I'm missing a jello wrestling party to film this gym thing gah.  >:|

Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

It's kind of sad how embarrassed I get admitting any of my ships.  I blame fandomsecrets for making me paranoid.  DON'T JUDGE ME GUYS.  I'M SCARED.

1. James/Maria [Silent Hill 2]
2. Alpha/Echo [Dollhouse]
3. Agent Cooper/Audrey [Twin Peaks]
4. Franziska/Adrian [Ace Attorney]
5. Mary/Maria [Silent Hill 2] (don't even ask. I'd say it's like a less creepy version of twincest, but it's not really any less creepy. just for different reasons.)
6. Adelle/Claire [Dollhouse]
7. Mulder/Scully [The X-Files] (only their ~electric tension~ and stuff, mind you. once they're actually together I thought it kind of lost the spark)
8.  GLaDOS/Chell [Portal]  (ok, I read this theory about GLaDOS being obsessed with Chell in a totally lesbian way and I can't unthink it.)
9.  The Oven/Scott [The Quizno's Torpedo commercials]    (I'm not even joking.  I wish I was.  no.  fic has been written.  *shot*)
10.  GLaDOS [portal] / HAL [2001: A Space Odyssey]   (I'm afraid I can't let you eat that cake, Dave.)

So, uh.  When my baby brother is born (which is less than 3 weeks away) he is gonna have the best wardrobe ever.
Until then, I'm wearing his stuff.


rawrrrr.
lol I love the little sideburn that one piece of hair has been doing lately.  I rock the sleezy guy look.
~
 
On a more serious note. 
There was a shooting at the Applebee's near my house last night.  Two people are dead.  I ate there three days ago.  Mom and I go like every week.
It's so weird to think about.  I live in a really small town, this stuff never happens. 
~

GOING TO JO-ANNS TODAY TO FIND CHERYL MASON JUMPER FABRIC.
But then I can't work on it because I have to finish a speech I'm doing on Tuesday.  Which is the biggest part of our grade in English and also decides whether or not we graduate so I should probably do it...
~

and finally.  weirdest fortune cookie I've ever gotten.
"Customer service is like taking a bath; you have to keep doing it."

slightly less awesome than the one that told me my wife and I would have a happy life together.   when I was like 6 and all "lol what."

This fandom meme looked pretty entertaining.
Also I have homework and therefore needed something to distract me from it.

( yup. meme. under here.  )

Alright. Everyone seems to be getting these fancy DreamWidth things and the bandwagon looks good.
If someone would like to invite me, that would be lovely. :3

Prom was tonight. Didn't go. Went to an afterparty, though. we just sat around and watched Family Guy and ate stuff.

Before that, I hung out with Cheyenne and watched Natural Born Killers, which was a good time.  Really entertaining.  Thoroughly messed up.  We also watched Alice in Wonderland, which I haven't seen in a million years.  Mehh.  There were a few parts I enjoyed though.  Cheyenne said she'd lend me a Grimm fairy tale book she has.  I'm excited.  I've never read any of the originals.

I. Love. Red Bull. omg. I blame all the Red Bull events I've done (ok, two. Soapbox Providence and Philadelphia). Mr. Marshall got me hooked.
Speaking of which lol he's is taking us to Denver, Colorado for TSA Nationals and it's during the Denver Pride Parade. I hope I don't have to do a runway competition or anything that day so that we can go. I don't want to miss it (NYC one is the same day, so I can't go).
Mr. Marshall at the parade should be hilarious. He can join in the who-can-collect-the-most-condoms game. :D (last year my count was about 28.  still have them all in my room lol.).

also, meme.  less poetic sounding than most of my f-list's because i'm a crap writer and it's 4 AM so I'm too lazy to think of something better.
Pick up to 15 OTPs
Describe them in less than 15 16 words.  [a bunch were coming up to 16 and I'm too lazy to think of something different]
Have your friends list guess the pairings.

1. She always closes her eyes, because kissing her feels like masturbation. 
2. Like little kids getting naked and playing doctor.  They can't fathom it as anything but innocent.
[note- 3 and 4 go together.  same fandom, and a common link]
3. He's in love with who isn't really there.  James/Maria | Silent Hill | Guessed by militarypenguin 
4. And she lusts for what is there, deep down.
5. One's got enough personality for both of them.
6. They're engulfed in red velvet, but all he can see are closed eyes and blue lips.
7. They probably wouldn't be in love without all the imminent danger.  They never have a chance to find out.
8. He'd already banged everyone else...plus, all the gay was starting to get to him. 
9. With a friend like that, who needs real ones?
10. The obsessive dependence made her an annoyance.  The flattery of it all made her...tolerable.

8 isn't actually an OTP, I just had to put it in there.  I know at least one person who better get it...
I have more but holy shit it's 4 AM how did that happen?  go to sleep.

apparently in my last post I was so excited about the news that I copy pasted the sparkle text html and forgot to actually put the news in.

So screw the flashy hearts.  Let's get down to business to defeat the huns.

DOLLHOUSE IS RENEWED FOR A SECOND SEASON.

The ONTD post about it is kind of pissing me off.  I'm normally cool with people having their own opinions about stuff, I mean to each their own, but damn do I get offended when people make fun of Dollhouse.

the worst being "Of course Fox renews the creepy rape show.  Fuck you Fox.  This shit needs to die."
I wish the haters would stay out of rejoicing threads and just have their own hate post.  I hate scrolling through all these happy gif posts and squeeing and whatnot and then seeing that.  Makes me sad.  Because I'm wimpy like that.

You know what makes me happy though?

Bubastis fell asleep on my bed.
Yeah.  I named one of my kittens Bubastis.  stfu.  

This was originally going to be a long post but I got sidetracked and now I'm tired.

Just thought I'd mention my next cosplay project, which should be present at Otakon this summer (as long as I have time.  Prom dress and suit for TSA nationals come first).


Yeaaaah Cheryl. My hair's gown out a bit, and if I cut the back off, which I planned to do for the summer anyway, I'll pretty much have her hair.
My mom has the sweater,but it's not entirely accurate so I'm gonna look for a better one first, then if necessary just wear hers.  Then it's just a matter of making the jumper, which'll take like one day.
I also think I'll buy circle contact lenses to give my eyes a bigger/creepier look because look at her irises. Freakin' huge.
Also, since I'm not walking around Otakon without shoes all day, I'm thinking of getting those strapless flip-flops that stick to your feet.
