And I've made my big friends cut! If there was a mistake and I cut you by accident, please speak up! I just defriended dead journals and journals that defriended me. But I'll be honest, there were a lot of journals that defriended me, so if I lost track of what I was clicking...sorry! :( No one who asked to stay was cut! And thank you very much to those who still want to stick around.

It's been a week since Sabo-con! Despite the hotel (Mesa Hilton) being full of idiots and having a room snafu, it was a nice weekend. I did my Eileen Galvin cosplay for the last time on Halloween. I love it, but the makeup is too extensive and too difficult for me to manage it any longer. I went to a few good panels, got the autograph I wanted (and thensome!) and bought some nice stuff. A few doujinshi, a Trinity Blood keychain, some candy, some art...nothing big. I did grab some classic anime, and the first DVD of Mythical Detective Loki, though. We've all been enjoying Tactics over here so much, I figured why not.

We're already planning for Con-Ichiwa in March. Go go group cosplay!

Other things that have happened to me...I went camping last month, which was an amazing experience. I went with my hippie friends to the Verde Valley natural hot springs. The springs are a mile away from camp, across a river that needs be forded. It was an adventure!

I watched a lot of horror movies through October. Good and bad, American, Asian and European. Still didn't hit 100 in 31 days, but it's the journey that's fun!

Re-decorated the shed, made new friends, applied for a fuckton of jobs, baked, despaired when our oven broke (it's better now!) and pretty much I've just been living my life.

Now I need to redo my icons - which shouldn't take much, since I only get 15 now - and my LJ and look into renaming tokens. :D

I'm pleased to still be here. I didn't want to say please keep me, as it might have been a pressure you could have done without. Keep well and keep having fun.

I figured I'd just let other people defriend me first, and do it that way. Plus old journals, and journals that I didn't recognize anymore! :D *hugs*

This is exactly what I was going to say. Almost down to the word.

Sorry for comment-piggybacking. :)

Piggy backing always welcome in a positive way! No worries.

Camping sounds awesome. I've only done it once, with Cp as an infant.
Its is an adventure! :)

Cosplay is so much fun! I'm doing Madam Red from Black Butler for Christmas and Rolo from Code Geass for the MCM expo in London in May. :D

It is! And we're all excited about new costumes. :D Those sound awesome!

Basically I go from this (http://i2.pinger.pl/pgr441/866d318b00109e984a54deca/Kuroshitsuji___Grell_Madam_Red_by_aya_imai.jpg) to this (http://media.photobucket.com/image/rolo%20code%20geass/ycysusan2001/Rolo.jpg). XD Gotta love wigs!

I don't think anyone can not get excited about new stuff, really.

Aww.. I am not on your friends list.
If you want to put me back on, that is cool.
I am gonna keep you on my friends list. :)

Ack, I'm sorry! I knew I was going to accidentally remove people who hadn't removed me. Many humble apologies! oz

You tackled the shed? I hope you didn't find more effluvia from the Damn Dirty Hippies....

Thanks to lots of helpful friends, the shed is actually pretty clean and cozy now! Aside from the occasional neighborhood cat...

I'm so glad you're back! :D

I AM GLAD TO BE BACK!

Hey quick question: Where in AZ are you again? If this thing with this job I applied for falls through, I might be making a trip out to visit family (scope out possibly a job), and could easily come visit you.

I'm in the Prescott area. :D Let me know if you're going to be anywhere near here!

Well I'm not 100% sure where my aunt and uncle are, but I'll let you know

Thank you for keeping me :D

Baking can be a lot of fun. I don't do it much anymore, since I'm not the culinarily inclined one, but when my friend comes over, sometimes we make things. She made bread this week at her place.

:D

I loves to bake! And cook. And everything in between. Mmm, homemade bread. SO GOOD!

Admittedly, my major obstacle to baking and cooking is my slothfulness. :)

That camping trip sounds great. I'm glad you've been busy and happy.

It was awesome! The road to the campsight was scary as anything - unpaved, winding down a mountain with no guard rails - but so worth it!

Now I'm curious, what was the worst horror movie you watched in October?

And thanks for letting me stay in your f-list! :D

I have to say...hmm. Special mention deserves to go to Lost Boys 2: ~~The Tribe~~ Surfboards and Boobies. The only reason it's not plain terrible is Corey Feldman returning to the role of Edgar Frogg. The Unborn was terrible - we returned it after watching no more than 15 minutes - but I think we technically watched that before October. My vote has to go to the Sci Fi movie Shallow Ground. Or was it Hallowed Ground? I forget. But it was terrible. And pointless. And after watching it twice I still couldn't find an actual plot in there anywhere.

:D

Hallowed Ground, is that the one about the woman that goes to some town, and bla bla, and preacher, bla bla, and something reborn?

Must have been better than 'The Unborn' if you managed to watch it twice. :P

Yeah, so this had to be Shallow Ground. About a trio of small town cops and a...serial killing monster thing from the woods, I guess. Or a spirit that took over people and made them serial killers...something like that.

I managed to watch it twice because I lost the clicker for my bedroom TV and was too lazy to change the channel by getting up. At least it had an old TV actor I like in it...

Wow, that does sound incredibly lame.

So, wait, you watched it twice, because you lost the remote? What did they do, show it twice in a role?

Yup. Well, there was an episode of Stargate or something on in between, then the 'encore' showing.

I'm glad I got to stick around. o/ I don't post much on LJ anymore, but I read, so I woulda noticed the absence. :( I noticed before, but I also remembered you saying something about the hiatus, and I figured you'd come back when you were ready to.

(I've had to do hiatuses too, and for me at least, when I do, I prefer contact minimalized, so I tend to just patiently wait when my friends take their turns at it. If you'd prefer the occasional email or something, I will be happy to do that if you have to skip away again. :D)

I'll miss the Elaine cosplay! It was truly epic and awesome. But I understand make up being a pain. o_<

I'm glad you didn't cut me! I really like reading your journal - you're a very interesting person and you've helped inspire my own trek into costuming, even if I don't comment much :) I should really try to de-lurk more often.
