Oh, insomnia. How I hate you. I haven't gotten anything done in a week. Taking my driving test? Nope. Getting hard facts about TEFL certification courses? Nope. I've seen the sunrise without getting a wink of sleep several times this week.

But, I've found something that distracts me sufficiently from my angsty predicament: The second Kyo Kara Maou PS2 game, Shin Makoku Vacation! Holy hell. It's like playing a fanfic. On crack. Or maybe like watching the anime. They're pretty shameless in cannon, too. I stumbled across the iso of the $140 game on a comm and after a few hours got it downloaded and got an emulator to work with Vista and my horrible little system. I've been playing ever since. It's hilarious but difficult. Me and my denshijisho are toughing it out. I'm trying to get Yuuri and Wolfram married. I know you can. I've seen the caps! But it's harder than it should be. I accidentally won Gunter's favor and Conrad is just too easy to please. Also, how they seem to treat Greta like a possible pairing option, even though she's not in the relationship health gauge chart thing, and it's a little awkward.

I've translated the prologue. And, I've been taking notes. And screen caps. I've figured out how to get to the scene where Yuuri accidentally show's a husband's intimacy to Wolfram and proposes a shotgun wedding over the scandal, but beyond that I'm currently SOL. It's still an awesome scene, though. I love when Dorskaskos busts into the room and starts gloating that he won the castle betting pool on who Yuuri would finally hook up with. And Celi busting out the wedding dresses isn't bad, either.

I'm such a freak. I'll get back to job stuff and sewing soon. Really. I promise.

I use my coaster everyday! It looks perfectly in place in my room. So, you refuse to buy new yarn and contribute to the crazy? Noble, and also amusing. What sort of designs are you going for?

I have no idea? I've gone to every single AI since 2001 so I'm thinking I would. These days it gives me a chance to hang out with my college friends, too. Even if the con is blah, I tend to love AI. I even loved last year. >_> Actually, last year was really really fun to me....

Yay! I'm glad you like it. I was going to make you a tissue box cover for White Day in 2007, but didn't have the skills at the time. Now I have the skills, but lack the yarn and/or brain. I was going to make myself a Naruto-themed one, but then I had a severe color/theme angst session and randomly started making something else entirely. So I have quite a few Naruto designs now, but they don't look that great together (to me). And I do buy the yarn, actually... I bought 3 different blues today b/c I didn't know which shade would look the best with my current designs. I still don't think any of them are the perfect shade, though. It's sad. What's your opinion on poetic license? I'm tempted to change the color of a character's gloves b/c they'd look better in red than yellow (b/c the background is yellow)...

The only fun thing at AI'08 was hanging out with youse guys to me. The con itself was... severely lacking in entertainment IMHO. Like, I could have just sat around and watched people and not bought a badge at all and gotten the same experience--perhaps better, even, b/c I wouldn't have dropped $50 on a badge. But if you and the gang go and get a hotel room, I'll join in. (If you choose to stay with friends, that's cool, too. I'll just swing by town to see you or something, but not stay.)

*laugh* Well, it's ok anyway, then. I don't usually keep tissues in my room. Heck, even in my apartment I was a lazy bastard and used toilet paper if I needed a Kleenex most of the time. But, you do make me curious about your other designs.

As for poetic licence... GO with it! Let the yarn be your inspiration~~~ Flourish within your limits~~~

That works! Ah, my precious Naruto. It wouldn't be a con without you, either, you know! Even a short appearance would be nice. At least as it stands now we'd have a good 4 people to share a room should we all up and decide to go. *shrugs* It's a long way away. By then even Hotaru will have graduated and who knows who will be employed and where we'll all be living?

I'll be posting pictures on facebook when I'm done. I wanna start selling these puppies at cons, make some moolah doing something fun.

I know I'll be here for the first part of August at least. My brother is getting married on the 8th, so I'm sticking around for that. I'll just wait to move to Orlando until after AI. (Hopefully I'll manage to finish my MT course and find a job by then!)

Ah~ But then you have to sit and guard your booth. I suppose that has it's benefits, too.

Nice!
