Reasons For Coughing Blood At 2AM

Listening to: Airborne Toxic Event

Updating….

Things we’ve missed:

Taboo Sex Show. Band shows. Hockey game (glass broke). All kinds of crazy things. Metric concert. Hanging with Joe. Passing Drafting Core semester. Hanging with Bones y Squeek in the craziest ways (ahem, icing incident?). Gettings awesomes clothes, recently too (TMNT sweatshirt). Not crappy Christmas (first in a while). Pool in Joe’s basement for New Year’s. Watching Sherlock Holmes FOUR TIMES. School starting up again.

A lot.

A lot of cool and awesome things.

But also lotsa shit, of course. I got left alone for a week. And Ren kept ditching plans so… uh… suckage as soon as the sun dropped. Which sucked for queueing up to school and forgetting to take happy pills (they gave me happy pills) and blablabla. But hey, I’m updating my blog so… uh, stuff:

- Working again. Jennings primarily but it’s slow going. I’mma rereading My Boyfriend’s A Rugby Player right now.
- Practised a shit ton of piano, mostly. I got stuck a bit on a part of a song while people were away but yeah.
- Doing a 100 themes challenge. Hey, let’s improve my arts! But I ran out of sketchbook pages… fark!

Got some cool shit, got some new CDs. Squeek put me on Mother Mother. Read a few books. Got to see the relatives’ place up in Kelowna (cool digs). Mi tio Danny is calling me by my pref’d name. Charmsies is moving to Seattle soon, an’ then I can visit her! I reaaaaally need to send my letter to well… multiple letters. And I’m expecting mail, but I’m pretty sure some of my mail is indefinitely lost. -sigh-

Updating with video blog too.

HEY GUYS….

AWESOME SHIT. I’m not even kidding. I mean, it took us ’till fucking forever to go to the actual con, but today was awesome. Getting Nik, groccery shopping, lotsa lazing around and all but, but, but, we have food now, and awesomeness. Oh, and I cut Hanz’s hair. INTO A MOHAWK. Well, s’more of a mohican, but still awesome. So, so awesome. I’m so fucking proud of myself, and the awesomeness. I’mma uploading photos eventually… well, tonight… now. Yeah, now… wait a fuck–oh, no, there’s the other half of my cookie.

So I’m sitting here with both Glenn and Patrice hooked up, with The TURN playing.

Lots of transit to get out there, lots of tired and a little sick, lots of hungry. Got there ’round eight thirty, just in time to register and sit… relax… figure out what we want to do… Y’know what’s kinda cool about YaoiCon? Panels and viewing rooms… DON’T start at like… eight in the fucking morning. I can sleep. It’s great.

There were people there… in so many costumes and shit… I snagged some great Star Trek shots (Ren will love me, she already does, but yeah). But more men in drag. I love men in drag. Tomorrow’s going to be great. When we get cheese from Safeway, I’m cash backing a fuckload. I prepared for this, I have money.

Notable things today… aside from what I’ve already mentioned. 1. my goggles are fucking awesome (the vintage ones). 2. I’m awesome with hair (not just mohican, but styling hair). 3. Long transit rides…? 4. Lots of awesome shit with buses and showing off the hair “yeah, we just did this an hour ago… I did it”. Just getting there was awesome, buses and trains.

(currently still uploading, @ 1:15 AM PST)

Also, decided to get a group of friends and all costume up as The Justice League for Halloween or a ComicCon or something one year.

It’s lunchtime, I’m at school, and I should be doing dimensioning.

But it’s lunchtime, so I don’t have to do dimensioning, so I’m writing this… bloody Monday class… need peoples’ notes… ANYWAYS, it’s officially ’squee’ time. Honestly. Tomorrow, after school, after my endo appointment, I’ll be on a plane to San Francisco… DUDES, CHECK THAT SHIT OUT. I’m all squee-age and excited and whatnot.

So, here’s the upload. I’m bringing shiny, probably try typing ongoings, probably from my notes, but yeah. I bring notebooks to cons… was actually rather useful at VCON ’cause I know I won’t remember shit but some of those panels were bloody interesting (who knows the first vampire movie ever?

I do!), and awesome shit that’d pop into mi cabeza for writing. Which, by the way, is what litters bits of papers and notebooks all over my house and school work and I have to redo the filing system for my ‘rough’ folder.

Which brings me to NaNoWriMo, oddly enough. This year, I’m doing it. Mostly because I’m actually aware of it this year. Hah. I’m also not working on anything specific at the time (read: five different stories but haven’t actually written on one for a few days). My plan is to go with the costume I’m wearing at YaoiCon, throw in aerial ship things, some foggy steam, crossed up tech, and anything that’ll fit from the fifteen-twenty or so ‘filed’ files in my Rough folder. I mean, there are non-file system files in there, but they’re like… boats. Boats is great.

So, leaving to SF Thursday, coming home Monday, going to miss my appointment with Dr. Hay… which I’ll ask about at the endo appointment because I still don’t know what Dr. Hay does. And I still haven’t phoned about that. Woops. Tuesday is the Metric concert, I’m driving with Muphen. Other people will be there, allegedly. And then that weekend is the Taboo Sex Show.

Today… today I bike home from school, grab my notebook that I FRAKKIN’ FORGOT THIS MORNING, do all the shit I have to do. Meaning drive around and shit. Need to get a lens cap (people at mi madre’s trabajo lost mine… yes… yes, horrible… mi madre estare reimbursing me), talk to the bank about my balance and my trip, buy some last minute-ish things from the mall or wherever (hey, it’s open until 9pm today!) and do a load of whites.

Oh, and eat. Eating’s important.

I haven’t really been eating the last couple of days.

I blame sleeping in… which sucks when you have school. Honestly, s’not cool.

Conclusion: FUCKING EXCITED.

Or, rather, the first day of. Very coolio. Ramadan didn’t kill me getting there via bike because WOOOOO downhill! No helmet. 70km/hr highway. In my defence, there weren’t any helmets around aside from an old road motorcycle helmet and mi hermano’s dirty dirtbiking helmet.

BUT IT WAS AWESOME.

Wore my new Ninjaspy shirt, because Ninjaspy is awesome and BreastFest was awesome.

Quick and skinny: I get to do 2/3 of the drafting courses. Seeing as I wanted to do as many as possible, that’s just fekkin’ awesome (to quote Krinny). Might try doing something else, but y’never know, since I’d like to do construction but I don’t think I can, but I mentioned it to Ricky at work today and I… sort of… dared him to find me a job.

Quote: Hey, you find me someone who wants to hire me and I’ll work.

He responded that I’d regret it, but I really really won’t. Dude. Me? In construction? I would love that job until I collapsed but then I’d get better after Ramadan. But Ramadan’s done in less than two weeks, so that’s nothing to do about it. And another source of income? More money in the bank?

…more cons I can go to, friends to meet or reunite with. More courses I can take for qualifications (though a majority are rather inexpensive) and shit I want to learn. That. sounds. fucking. fantastic. It’s the faster I can gear ahead to life shit. Cool. Sounds a bit more solid and capable to do than the photography thing or a couple of other things that have popped up.

Any ways, work was only two hours, will be only two hours tomorrow and the next day, but that’s because that’s the earliest I can get there. The biking bit’s cool. Dropped by Staples for some more graph paper. Did. not. have. intense. shoulder. pain. from all the biking. Just the last bit pushing the bike up the hill (woo, dehydration!).

After VCON and YaoiCon, I’mma figure out my moneys, see if I can’t get a really durable laptop to name Dratsab, tablet, all that. That’s November though.

So I killed Shiny, my Macbook Pro. Thus I’m currently stuck on Bitch (my Toshiba) that can’t not be plugged in, lest it die within five minutes because something went HORRIFICALLY WRONG with power settings on the last wipe through and all.

I have a decent back up of Shiny, but not all the coolio recent stuff so I’m super worried. Especially since Simply Computing didn’t tell me what’s up.

Actually, I got this weird phone call from one of the guys saying that whatever needed part was coming in now and that I could drop by tomorrow or something. Nooot a word on memory recovery or if everything’s all right and shit.

It’s the second death of Shiny. Between Bitch and its twin, I think I’ve killed ‘em a good… five times? I should become a tester for durability or something, because I can always think of interesting ways to fuck up a computer. Without downloading infected porn.

No. Really.
