Another Entry of Random Stuff
Because I can't just say one single thing in an entry unless it's really long? XD
I got out of Theatre class early today so I went to hang out in the club space. At about 1:30 I realized "hey, Ryan said the daily bulletin said there's supposed to be a fire drill today or yesterday."
At about 1:40, the alarms went off. It was a good thing I had been lugging my jacket about with me all day. :P I was extremely tempted to make a scene, and I did moan about how we were all going to die in a fiery inferno. Jackie had a sound idea with dropping to our knees and begging Jesus to save us (though I'd have asked for Zoidberg Jesus or Raptor Jesus, really). Shame I only saw her afterwards/I wouldn't have the guts. =P Tried to meet friends at the mall food court like last time, but that didn't really happen. :P
Seems our Theatre project is coming along well. Granted I was the only one who worked on it thus far, and at the last minute at that, but we have most things planned out. That's more than what can be said about Mel's group. XD We have so much planned out that every week we just end up spending an hour chatting before I can convince them to just break.
For Creative Writing, our teacher gave us both classes this week to work on our final project, a story (in which we try to use some of the techniques he's been teaching us), and THANK GOODNESS HE DID. I really didn't think it would be so helpful; within the first fifteen minutes I knew exactly what I wanted it to be about, and I am really happy about my decision. My teacher's also quite amused by it and interested in the culture it's delving into, which in itself is really encouraging. God I love my teacher; I actually went to creative writing "classes" he did at the local library when I was younger, and he's just as awesome as I remember. :D
The amusing thing about my final project is that I could probably post it online, and it would probably get noticed. XD I wonder if I should do so when it's ready.
I really need to work on my soap opera project for Humanities class, and also need to decide if I'm going to change out of my Captain Falcon costume, since I'm giving the presentation on Halloween.
I was really glad to find out that the school costume contest is at 1, when I have my break, so I'll be able to enter. Hopefully kick some ass and win an iPod Nano. :D (I'm not really interested in upgrading from my old Mini, but how can I turn down the chance to get a free one?)
Speaking of my cosplay, I went to my dad/grandpa's office the other day to find some pink for the boot covers and jacket lining. Got a little lost on the way over from school after hanging out with frends for a few hours, didn't help that it was raining. Anyway, they had a sample of the perfect material, because the colour and shinyness matches my gloves perfectly, but they didn't actually have any, so I settled foor something that's still pretty decent.
My grandpa drove me home, and insisted then that I get my boot so he could "experiment." This afternoon, he came over to my house to show me the bootcover he made! 'Course he used a cheap material since it was, as he called it, a "rehearsal," and we did make a few changes, like he's going to try to make it a little more fitting over the boot. Only problem is getting the cover on and off; that's whay you're supposed to use a zipper, as suggested in Sarcasm-Hime's tutorial, but he insisted that he wouldn't be able to do a zipper. @_@ I also showed him the chef jacket and explained how I wanted to line the inside collar with pink, and he's sure he can't do it, which is strange. He says to take it to the tailor, but I'd like to really just do it myself (or at least get grandpa to teach me to use his age-old sewing machine). XP
Today I went to the mall across from school with Swieca to look for a helmet. No success, but we went to the huge grocery store he hadn't known to be there (despite being gigantic XD) and bought a big bottle of Sprite and Diet Pepsi which we took to the club space and shared with everyone. XD Seriously need to get a helmet, though.
I was getting really excited to go to the comedy nest with a big group, but we just found out that the organisers from the animé convention are holding a Halloween party. Going would be cool, but a) it would mean less friends coming since not all of them would want to go to something like this and b) the party sounds like it won't be as good as previous years - not that I have anything to compare it to, but having video games, karaoke and such like other years would probably be nice. And I dunno, as much as I'd enjoy showing off my cosplay...eh, I wish I could go to both. XD
EDIT: Talked to Sam, and she's not insanely interested either. Woulda been nice to be able to show off my cosplay, but comedy = better that potentially very lame party. So comedy club it is! :D
I'm annoyed that Vince can't make it to Rocky. >___< That would have been SO much fun. :(
I think the reason I'm not really interested in going to the cosplay get-togethers is that I feel that I have to wear a cosplay, and I'm tired of being an Umbreon with constant costume problems. Plus it's gettign REALLY cold, and it's much less fun not being able to go bearing my middriff. Heck, even with a tank top I'd still be cold. Fucking winter's coming on too fast. >_>
The more commercials I see for Quarantine, the less I want to see it. I'm still kind of intruiged and curious, but then the more I think about it the more I know I'm just setting myself up for countless nights of worry and fear and turning on the lights. I do not do well with horror. Still, I'm tempted. XD
So in the past week I've called two fellow SPPf staff members over the phone. GREG AND HLIN, I LOVE YOU. I just want to huggle both of you. X3 Shame both our conversations had to be so short. :(
That makes five SPPfers with Chesh from god-knows-how-long-ago and the two Aussies, Tezza (who I actually met and whose birthday present I need to mail off already) and purple_drake. I'm aiming for Sike next because Psi's made me jealous. XD Shame she's never frelling online. I think I'd love to call Silawen, but I don't think we know each other anywhere near well enough for that, or possibly Kelly. Ah, the joys of being able to buy 200 minutes' worth of long-distance calls for $2.00! *loves how she managed to spend an entire card talking to purple_drake in one go before*
Fuck fuck fuck PE2K fuck not good fuck.
D: Not. Good. *is too guilt-ridden to go to the forum now*
Argh, Eric and Sam broke up, which sucks, but isn't a huge surprise. It was cute that they were going out and stuff, but what was there to their relationship? They didn't do anything. They're too different. There wasn't anything to it. So when they had communication problems it was just like well, at this point why even bother?
Of course, I don't think Eric really did the best job in taking my advice in being subtle, finding a place that was quiet and free of distractions. Standing seven feet away from a table of your friends doesn't help. Both of them returning and trying to hang out together with us wasn't much better.
Of course, I won't even go into the craziness of Jana and André. I'd say they should just break it off permanantly, but Jana's still way too attached and she didn't do well without him, and André still doesn't seem to care enough. Seems like mor trouble than it's worth.
I'm not sure how I should feel about Sam and Jana doing their own thing Saturday night apart from the rest of us. I think it's good for Sam and Eric to get some distance between them, but...er, is this just for girls having relationship problems? *feels a little left-out, but then again has no idea what they'll be doing so really isn't sure what to make of this*
EDIT: Assuming Sam read this cuz now we're having a sleepover at my house. 8D (And of course Eric was all "D: wut is this?" because the reason's apparently not that obvious. :/)
Blaaaaaaaaaaaarg. >>
And whyyyyyyy does it seem that the best people to go to for guy advice are people I don't actually know irl? XD Not that I'm complaining, since these three are like, <3.
