The icon is my concession to the date
I generally go too far between serious updates - or at least updates with some modicum of content - on this journal, don't I. Good job, self. |D
Either way, you're getting one, and I warn you it is long and image heavy in spots.
First of all, because I feel like I have to say this, I've found something awesome: this guy. I know, doesn't look like something I'd listen to, right? Well, listen to his Nocturnal Sunshine podcast (you can get it free on iTunes) - every episode is an hour of steady, repetitive, easily ignorable techno best classified as upscale background noise. This is to say, I've found the best homework music ever. XD
Don't tell my brother. He actually went to see this guy when he came to Denver this summer. My brother would disown me. Then again, we only just convinced said brother to come to Hawaii with the family instead of spending New Year's with his girlfriend, whom nobody likes, so...yeah. YAY FAMILY.
Said girlfriend just tried to friend me on Facebook. That's just a whole new definition of awkward.
But yes. Other stuff. Halloween is other stuff, right?
Actually, Halloween started for me the day before. Disneyland doesn't allow costumes, so I wore mine around campus on Friday.
NAME THAT SECRET GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION
Actually, the best part of this costume was walking into anime club and having one of the members go, "Are you an Elite Beat Agent?"
Ladies and gentlemen, I have found the sole other member of the student body who has any idea what this game is. We are so battling each other. XD
OBJECTION! Ironically, also the best picture of my costume, IMO.
...this was totally my roomie's idea.
HEY DO YOU WANNA SEE THE PUMPKINS? 8D
Totally wasn't going for a theme this year or anything.
Roomie's was originally a scarface, but...
It makes a much better Oogie Boogie.
CRAZY VILLAIN PUMPKINS GO
Of course, the next day we picked up lynxgriffin and headed down to Disneyland. I am now the proud owner of an annual pass and plan to overdose on Disney as much as humanly possible. Strangely enough, lines were much shorter on Halloween than they were the week before. Guess most people went the week before and spent Halloween day in costume, trick-or-treating?
Speaking of costumes, when we stopped to get lunch, we saw two people dressed as Androids 17 and 18 from DBZ, Red Ribbon Army logos and everything. In the middle of Disneyland. That takes some serious chutzpah, and I am so sad I did not get pictures. |D
I did get a different picture, though:
Roomie in the front, Lynx and I right behind in our Organization shirts. Hell yeah we're awesome.
Oddly enough, when we sat down for Fantasmic, those shirts got recognized. Can't say I was expecting fellow KH fans in the park, but it was pretty cool. Of course, my roomie squeed herself silly during the fireworks show - she's the biggest Nightmare Before Christmas fangirl I've ever seen, and the entire show is TNBC themed. Dinner at a pizzaria topped things off and life was good. Yay Halloween. :D
Of course, then Sunday night was juuuuuust fantastic. I'm never getting the chicken salad sandwich at the Cheesecake Factory again, I can tell you that much. (I will still, however, get their cheesecake. That is not what made me ill.)
The rest of this week has basically just been recovery. We did a Randomizer show, but the recording equipment was busted and I therefore have no episode for you guys this week. Sad. :( I'm also supposed to have written a paper on Sunday night, but that did not happen. Paper is still not written and might not get written until Saturday because I am just bushed. I also have an interview with Dex tomorrow - evidently they still want me, so I'm heading out there, trying to sound intelligent, and praying this goes through because paid internships are incredibly few and far between. It would be a nice feather in my cap for next semester. Wish me some good luck for that one. |D
I LEAVE YOU WITH ONE FINAL PICTURE:
The girl in the middle? That's my little. She's dressed as Kaylee.
My little is a Browncoat (and you'd better believe we're converting her twin). I could not be more pleased. :3
