In Domino, there's a shade of blue known as Kaiba blue. It's popular for bedrooms and the trim on hats for schoolgirls. Soon, it turns into the blue of the uniform skirts and jackets.
They call it Kaiba blue even when nobody remembers who the Kaibas were; like Prussia, they are a thing of the past and history books.
Their name is remembered for the wrong reasons. There is no longer any awe attached to it.
Now that I've got THAT out of my system, sorry for everyone who's been wondering why I've been MIA lately. Willow aka
witchwillow and Zoe aka
tes_aiden came over to crash with me and I was busy having SO MUCH FUN with them that I totally stayed offline!
While Willow was here, we went to Anime Boston. Then we had a day at home, then Willow hopped into Boston to meet a friend and I joined up with her later to pick Zoe up from the airport. Zoe, incidentally, is rather ridiculously hot. She says she has a Russian Mommy body but I think of it as compressed hourglass -- it's like someone took an hourglass and pressed down on the top so that the curves are way exaggerated on a tiny cute body. But she kicks ass and managed to beat me at arm-wrestling!
Once Zoe was here, we hopped into Boston the next day, then saw Bonnie and Bailey the next day before going into Boston again and seeing Boston the last day a little as well as we had lunch together before we saw her off. And then Willow left the day afterwards, WOE.
Apart from having fun together, I discovered that Zoe gives fantastic massages. And I mean fantastic. She rubbed this gorgeous buttery cream into my body, and then Willow massaged my feet which is something I'd never had done before and was thus nervous about and I fell fast asleep on the mattress while supposedly watching Invader Zim.
We also did a bit of shopping, so I picked up a new pair of black cargo pants with camo-patterning on the tops of the pockets, and an adorable midriff-baring black suit tank top thing. Shopping is WAY more fun when you have other people to tell you how hot you look and whom you can talk into trying stuff on with you! Willow got stuck doing most of the carrying, since she's apparently the 'butch' and we joked a lot about how as an asexual who surrounds herself with lesbians, they need a group name that's the equivalent of 'fag hag'. Any suggestions, people? We couldn't think of anything on our own.
I managed to get Zoe to understand the AWESOMENESS of strawberries-dipped-in-Nutella, and Willow and I stopped by a comic store in Boston that I like TWICE. Cue us picking up manga and comics -- I'm currently in love with a series called 'Nightmares and Fairy Tales' that I only own three issues of, and bought 'Nightmares for Sale' and 'Hell Girl' as manga. Though the first came from the con.
During the con, I also started making a Ryuuji plushie and commissioned a TON of art. Including a gorgeous Devlin/Lex pic that I'll scan in later, a Seto/Ryuuji pic done fantasy-style, a Rose Bride style Mai/Ryuuji, a solo Ryuuji and solo Gellert. I also bought Willow a badge of herself drawn chibi-style with bunny ears, and a piece of bunny-boi art that she'd been craving for months.
Zoe promised to come up to Boston this summer, which'll ROCK far too hard. She and Willow were fantastic company even if our hours were never actually quite the same. XD But I definitely want to spend more time with both of them! And I'm glad that I had such a great time with them.
WE SCRATCHED THE SYMBOL OF GELLERT GRINDELWALD INTO THE TOPS OF HOT FUDGE JARS AT A GROCERY STORE. How is that not a sign that we are too cool for the world to deal with together?
Plus, since I was sleeping next to the heater, I burnt myself twice. Once on the elbow, no blister but a scar. One on the little finger of my right hand, blister and probably going to scar. So that means that I'll have PERMANENT reminders of their visit here; two burn scars, both on my right arm. ♥
Also, PHOTOS will later be up. Both photos from the con, and photos of the combined coolness that is the FWZ triad.
