As you may well know, I don't post here often because I'm either on DeviantART or Facebook or Myspace.
Lately, my lack of posting on here doesn't bother me unless there are people who ACTUALLY give a crap about the stuff I'm talking about on here and all that jazz. Hence why there isn't much activity from me on here. Because there is nothing I can really report about.
Mostly, I'm still looking for work, hoping and praying that the fast food place I left an Application w/a couple of Sundays ago pans out something...just waiting on them to make up their minds to call me for a Job Interview, if at all. I'm giving them till Friday to make up their minds before I conference w/my Mom as to whether or not I should bug them to see whether or not there has been any progress made. Not to sound rude, but...PEOPLE. I'M GETTING DESPERATE.
Srsly.
Year is almost up and NO JOB.
Bites big time because my Folks have to cover certain expenses of mine here and there, particularly my Med.'s for my thyroid condition...
No Job.
Dwindling cash.
No HEALTH INSURANCE, and Heaven Forbid I'm going to conform to the Socialist thought of Universal HealthCare our supposed GRAND PRESIDENTE wants us all to have.
So, yeah.
A little miffed there.
Anyway, another thing that has stolen my time from here is I've gotten bit by the art bug, Drawing being the right word for it.
I've been drawing like a mad woman when the mood and time strikes me, and at the moment, I'm at my wits end and time frame to try and finish out a dozen other Gift arts for friends for their Christmas Presents. I've got some of 'em drawn and inked, just need to finish drawing the others, then ink those, then COLOR every single little piece of art to then Scan and Post 'em to DeviantART at the latest the week of Christmas.
Heh.
Well, that and Church keeps me busy.
Good News Club, Sunday School Teacher's Assistant, and upcoming: Living Nativity.
This Month is always my busy Month.
All that aside, have a Merry Christmas to anyone who bothers to read this.

Not fair man.
Anyway, this is for xMistressxofxPuppets1 of DeviantART; a good friend of mine who I've been Collaborating with on a Fanfic she proposed sometime earlier this year or some months back using the pairing of TsengxCloud and now we are onto our Sequel. As a thank you and kind of a WAY belated b-day gift, I made this for her...but YouTube decided to send me an Email saying they're muting the Audio...so what's the point of posting it there for her to view w/o audio.
Here you go: http://roxasinhiding.webs.com/apps/v
^^; Sorry...LJ won't let me upload it on here, so you'll have to view it on my Freewebs.com webpage unless by some magic it can made to work via E-Mail attachment of sending it to you
Dude.
That is how cool it was.
Backing it up here a little bit; I wasn't going to be able to go due to the fact my folks have been shelling out cash here and there for helping me go on the Mission Trip to Bolivia with my Church coming up on Mon. that'll run till the 30th. But aside from that, my Mom broke down and decided to let my little bro and I use her Credit Card to put our Tickets and Pre-Scare Dinner on it that'll be paid off on my end eventually to her over time ^^; Either way, we got to go.
Pre-Scare Dinner: VIP all the way baby. This Dinner has a lot more to it compared to the ones that get the Dinner over at the Picnic Area, but since we booked ours for 5 p.m., we got through dinner kinda quick and had to kill time for the Lockers to be available to stash our jackets and gift mug that we could refill ONCE throughout the night. Either way, awesome food and....CAKE!
Park: Man oh man did they go all out this year, especially doing a mini show kind of presentation before letting the chains down to let us roam the park to get the pants scared off of us by the Monsters; if you've seen the Commerical for this year's Haunt, its something like that. Pretty cool to watch, but beware your phail eye vision going along the fog filled areas of the Park. The Monsters feed off of that and use it to scare the daylights out of you.
Mazes: Some were better then others, one that was epic phail was Quarantine.
Okay, break time.
If you remember the movie Quarantine then you know how freaky that movie was, all the zombie like people and the whole almost Blair Witch effect to the lady getting sucked into where ever while her camera films her when all she came to do was follow the local Fire Fighters on a call to an Apartment somewhere. Remember now? Good. This maze, for this year, it might've been scary as anything when the movie FIRST came out and then released to DVD...now, its just, "That was it?"
Srsly.
BREAKS OVER!
Mazes continued: As usual, some of the older mazes were back and they were okay, but when you're not scared by it anymore, you tend to lose interest, but I have to say; Terror of London just rocked my socks off. This maze is based off the theming of Jack the Ripper. You know, the man who terrorized London during the 1600 or 1700s where he mutilated and murdered prostitutes through the streets of London and was never captured? Yeah. This maze is so like that...and dude, if you can get a good luck at some of the Male Monsters, you can SO see a hint of Sweeny Todd in them. Not the Johnny Depp Swenny Todd, more like the Original Stage Production w/Angela Lansbury as Ms. Lovett Stage Show Swenny Todd.
Even down to the makeshift meat pies in the Pub you walk through .
Doll Factory, awesome as ever.
The Asylum is now the The Lockdown, kind of a Prison Break meets homicidal insane Criminals, but the newest one that hit to kind of punt "Lore of the Vampire" out of Haunt that use to be at the Balloon Races in Camp Snoopy shows good potential of future years of returning.
Since these Vampires don't sparkle like a particular one.
They had a Scare Scene for the new movie opening on the 16th called "The Stepfather" . Dude. Even for it being short, its worth it to see the circular saw nearly fall near your head.
Overall experience: Sore feet, 13 bucks blown on a Locker, 2 times through Terror of Londong, EPIC HANGING, hilarious time at Bloodlust the show, totally epic work of flame work at the show Inferno; and fun times on two rides I haven't ridden yet like The Sidewinder and Pony Express. I rate it about an 8 this year.
Not to mention the freaky coincidence of a group of Monsters calling out my name AND the name of my Old High School...Talk about weird.

Heh.
As if its not apparent of the fact if you watch me over on DeviantART you know I'm heading out of the Country for near on two weeks for a Missionary Trip, but if you DON'T follow me over there; here's the news: On Oct. 19th I'm heading to LAX Airport in Downtown Los Angeles, CA to fly to Miami International Airport in Miami, FL to then catch a flight to La Paz, Bolivia then another to Sucre, Bolivia where we'll be stopped over in a Hotel covered by the Org. this trip is going through, then part of a day's drive into the Mountain Village of Ckara Ckara, Bolivia where from the 1st Day there up till we have to head back to Miami to come back to LAX, we'll be in Ckara Ckara.
Note: I will not have internet or cell access.
No big deal.
Just lettin' all you crazies out there that I won't be on to answer your comments or messages till at LEAST the 31st since I'm getting back in on the 30th, at who knows what hour into LAX on the 30th, not to mention the gathering of luggage, loading it into cars for the drive back to the Church, with a pit stop off at an In 'n Out on the 15 Freeway back into civilization we are familiar with and I'm probably going to come home and crash on the 30th. So...NO INTERNETS FOR ME THAT NIGHT!
XP I'll try and post a Journal on here about how it all went and maybe a few shots
...Its not like anyone gives a damn about this Journal anyway.
ANYWAY.
Just getting this out of the way now so I don't have to do it on Sun. like I'm going to do on DeviantART and post a Vlog on YouTube then...
Heh.
Night folks, this Lone Wolf is going to bed
Long day ahead tomorrow from Good News Club (Christian based Boys and Girls Club) to late night fun at Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt in Buena Park, CA w/little brother; getting the fur scared off me and watching others get the scare scared out of 'em and laughin' my ass off at 'em.
- Mood:
tired
Mostly just keeping myself sane when I'm not able to be on my laptop as much as I would LOVE to be as and such due to still lacking my own personal External Battery source that I now and again usurp from my little bro.'s laptop. Still on the war path of finding work and that's lacking in any possible openings.
Had one call and it turned out they were looking more for someone who has exp. working at an Optometrist office (Eye Doctor's office) and that was a phail.
Still plotting up Cosplays for AX 2010 that are now and again shifting into:
-Gokudera (KHR)
-Riza Hawkeye (FMA)
-Random Fox Girl (just my cat ears and fox tail w/white tank top and my semi FFVII: AC Cloud pants)
-Watari (Yami no Matsuei, only if other person who does him as well from group of friends isn't planning to Cosplay)
-Halloween Town! Zexion (pending on Gokudera wig; same outfit as Gokudera outfit, just cat ears and fox tail w/striped mittens on hands and old dog collar)
Last day of AX, mostly my cat ears and fox tail with my Pierced t-shirt and AC Cloud pants and my knock off Converse shoes since the last day is going to be a Sun. and normally I'd be at Church. Figured I wear it since I might not Cosplay that day since I'm limited wardrobe and money wise to do any real cosplays and lacking parental support for the hobby.
I HAS FOUND A FELLOW FURRY ON DEVIANTART!
I don't know if he's an official Furry or not, but he's possibly going have his Fursuit together for AX 2010 which I'm psyched to hear about to hopefully find him and meet him in his Fursuit
Slowly plotting to work on getting my Learner's Permit either before Bolivia or after so I can work on getting my License before my Mom leaves for Bolivia next April since she can't go this time around. This way, I'm mobile if I have a job and so I'm not stuck at home on the weekend of the first week she'd be gone to go poke through my local Mall and buy up my partial Fursona stuffs; minus the other halves of her body/outfit like the pants, ears and tail
Overall...That's it.
I hardly get on here that often and figured I'd revive this so that those who care can find out what's going on with me.
Check you all later
OH YEAH! I'm SLOWLY posting AMVs to my YouTube, if you wants to watch them...here it is: http://www.youtube.com/user/Rizafan
Check you later
- Mood: complacent
As of late, my laptop has been phailing me from the fact:
-My monitor screen is halfway screwed to where I can't see my task bar
-Then my internal battery has begun phail mode
-It decided to have a temper tantrum and have to have the Hard Drive recovered my 18 year old bro who has become our go to go for breaking down laptops in our house
-That lead to everything I had on my laptop lost like fanfics that were in progress, AMV Projects, AMVs that were made, YouTube Ripped Disney films, Spirit: SOTC from the links provided by YouTuber ShadowOfTheMeadow and all the FF FMVs from bluelaguna.net and all the fanarts I had saved from 4chan and various other yaoi like sites
-Then my external source went into phail since I screwed it up
Which equals all up to: Having to bum off Dad's laptop to answer emails, check up on the semi transgender comic Misfile by Chris Hazelton which I suggest for utter lulz, check up on DeviantART in regards to Messages, be them; comments, faves, replies, journals I watch and new Deviations from Deviants I'm watching to doing job searching via Craigslist.org and checking up on Facebook and Twitter as a way to keep in contact with friends.
Until my finances better, which is only by getting a job, which isn't happening since no one will hire me due to lack of Job Exp.
which makes finding work a bitch.
Either way.
Still on the ellusive search for work.
Mon. is going to be the call to the L.A. U.S. Air Force Recruiting Office since the Temecula one near me is being phail in regards to sending me the so called Pre-Qualifying Exam thingie I have to take via email to even be considered to SPEAK to a Recruiter. Hopefully the L.A. office will help me out because I'm seriously considering it as a way to go about school training to help in the securing of a job once out of the Service.
On the other front: Finished the Collab fanfic I was doing w/an author over on Fanfiction.net under the fanfic title name of "The Tiger and Chocobo" kind of a TsengxCloud fanfic that was proposed by the person who has it up on the site; I just wrote it out w/the help of her thoughts thrown at me mixed in with my own. Working on my fanfic "I Write The Stories" more and more...trying to wrap it up into a neat bow of my own thoughts so that I don't drive it into the ground and go "Must. Get. This. Finished. No. More. Of. This."
Preparing self little by little to go to Bolivia next Spring for 2 weeks
Just got back yesterday from an overnight Vacation Bible School Outreach at Echo Park in L.A.
Thoughts on that: Early rise time. Gaggle of Teenage girls from Youth Ministry that don't know the meaning of STFU at 11 p.m. at night after being up at almost a quarter to 4 a.m. that morning and early to rise time the next morning.
Results: Can be fun, but leaves your mind's hamster scrambling to catch up with what it should be doing on a regular basis.
It was more or less a taste of what I'm going to run into in Bolivia next Spring if the same gaggle of girls go on the trip. Not to mention the venture from the States to the first stop or stops to the Mountain Village of Chkara Chkara is a 24 hour flight...fun.
Once my little bro takes back his External Battery source that I'm using for the day, I might not be able to get on this, on my own laptop, till the next time he takes pity on me...Hopefully if he can get his computer he's building at least bought today at Fry's but even if he does...I won't get to use it that often since he's going to be giving his laptop to my Mom so she has her own to play with...it'll be a war of, "Mommy, can I use the External source for my laptop since you aren't playing on the one Travis gave you?"
Heh.
Check you all later folks.

Day 2
Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles Convention Center
Where do I start? Well, let's start with how I managed to get the means to go. Short vers. of it all: Mom+Bath Remodel+Me helping with tear down of wallpaper and clean up=100 bucks for my help instead of letting my Mom buy new box springs and mattress for my bed.
Morning June 3rd rolls around guess what!? I'm up at 4:30 a.m. because someone was either up banging around the house or the fact that I had been up till whenever 2, 2:30 a.m. the nights before and couldn't sleep and napping those days which lead to early morning which was fine by me. Gave me a chance to bind myself w/o my Mom walking to my room and wondering why I had my hands under my shirt when answering the bedroom door.
From there: Getting crap together for the day such as last minute sneak "borrowed" Dad's dress shirt and my trench jacket into book bag and lunch for the day into bag, and killing time by watching an old VHS tape I love called "Heart and Soul" and getting over that to see WHY my Dad hadn't left for work.
Douche didn't go in that day since he took the time off.
Scrambling with Mom to get directions to the Con. Center and coming back home so she could through Orange County on the way back and directions from house to Phillipe's (French Dip sub place in Hollywood off N. Alameda) then from there to the Con. Center. Which had us leaving here at a half hour later then when I WANTED to leave the house.
Fly down the free way w/not that much traffic on the freeway for it being 4th of July Weekend and going to L.A.
Get off freeway and end up not going down far enough or going up too far street from the freeway, play ring around the Con. Center to find the place my Mom dropped me off at last year when I came for the day like this year. Find it, drop off, thanking Mom IMMENSELY for bringing me. Calling FL buddy as to "Where the Heck are you?!"
FINDING the Reg. Hall since they changed it this year, get into the line and not being in it too long, pretty fast service, and made a Line Stalker buddy.
Quick dash to restroom for quick change, calling up College buddy, Kit, and playing phone tag w/her, finding HER and a friend I was friends with at one point; talking to them for a while and then going to go to play around Dealer's Hall while calling buddies AGAIN to find out what was taking them so long. They were eating Breakfast. I got to spend time in Dealer's Hall and found another College Buddy, talk to him for a while and hang till we split so he could shop for w/e he wanted and I bought what I listed in my Journal called "Ugh ><"
Get OUT of Dealer's Hall and running into Buddies in the Concourse on their way to Exhibit Hall where I came from. Switcharoo with badges to get our Demyx into the Hall then giving it back to the one that we borrowed badge from and hanging in there and splitting up at one point then regrouping.
Getting punted out for sitting in the aisle because our Gwendal (Kyou Kara Maoh) had sore feet and was about ready to scream if she didn't get her boots off and I got to meet our America >w< (Axis Powers Hetalia)
My FL buddy whose also my Judaime (10th Mafia Boss of the Vongola from Katekyo Hitman Reborn), and I dashing out front to the KHR Gathering and having epic fun to the some of the details described int "Ugh ><" Journal
Most of the stuffs that happened is covered "Ugh ><" Journal, not to mention leaving my buddies with a heartfelt gift as I left them to their PJ Party when I had to go home that night by telling them I Lost The Game
I can't wait to hang with my Buddies again. >w< Especially since my FL Buddy, Gabby and a few of her friends that I know are suppose to be coming out with her next year...I'm so psyched!
See ya later dudes

In every culture, there is a differing opinion on how the husband and wife should be treated depending on their culture and upbringing in regards to personal and religious beliefs, but this struck me as just, down right almost crazy and laughable, but the matter of it all isn't funny. It seems, the mountain town of Chkara Chkara, Bolivia; there is a telling that if a man is working in the fields and his pants drop down, much like some of us here in the U.S. wear our shorts, especially guys, for a kind of fashion statment. For the men of Chkara Chkara, this is a sign from their Pagan Goddess, Pocho-Mama (not sure of the spelling) that their wife is committing adultery.
With this, the men are to IMMEADITELY leave the field and return home to where they are to punch their wife in the mouth. Kind of a means of telling them that they are not to do it ever again unless they want to get punched in the mouth again. Which makes figuring out whether or not the case of the people's teeth being due to hygiene or abuse from a spouse a hard case to differ between.
Kind of makes you glad you live here in the U.S. where you don't have to live in fear that your husband or boyfriend's pants dropping to half mast and you ending up giving a face full of fist sandwich when you are being honest instead of actually doing the act.
Just a little something I'd share with you that my Mom shared with me from her time when she went to Bolivia with our Church on a Mission Trip that I thought I'd share

Okay. My friend Julie and I were on a seperate chat the other night on Skype and chatting up about Hotel related things for Anime Expo 2010 and I was poking around the Con. Hotels from this year and last for checking out pricing for the Hotels during the Days I wanna Check In on and Check Out on...
EXPENSIVE at most
Aside from the Wilshire which w/Triple A, its a little under 800 bucks for the 5 nights.
ANYWAYS!
She and I are nuts.
We've started planning what to do on the 4th of July next year of the Con. since the Dates of the Con. are July 1-4th, 2010 at Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Plans are:
-Hang at the Con. Center for a bit if we wish to
-Go to Little Tokyo for Lunch, possibly share Bentos with one another
-Hop onto the Metro to go to Long Beach from L.A.
-Screw around the Rainbow Lagoon and possibly other local areas
-Go to the Queen Mary for the Fireworks
-Then head back on the Metro to L.A.
-And to our seperate Hotels
This all hinges on peoples being able to afford staying at the Westin w/my friend, Julie, and being able to swing the Cost for the $5 day pass to catch it to Little Tokyo, Lunch, and then into Long Beach and making sure it's possible for certain aged peoples w/us to be able to make it to Long Beach pending on Parental Okay and I guess probably due to the I guess Curfew in that part of Long Beach we're gonna be in.
Still in the works, but we're already planning it
As for the AX PJ Party that started at 2008's Con., as far as I AM AWARE, its on again for 2010 in the same spot if it doesn't get jacked for something else...as for which Day...Not sure. Probably hinging on whether or not peeps are gonna be either IN Masq. or going to SEE Masq. again next year or whenever we plan it to go and do the PJ Party
GAAAAAAA! So pumped over the craziness planning for AX 2010!
Now. Just need a job.

Okay, I just popped on by the website for the BIGGEST Anime Con. here in Southern CA and let's just say, we out did ourselves AGAIN in regards to Attendance record
...OVER 44,000 PEOPLES!
Now, onto other news...
Turns out that 2010 will be the 20th Anniversary of SPJA running Anime Expo here in Southern CA which is epicness!
Here's the lulz.
If you went to Anime Expo 2006, you might remember that was the 15th Anniversary of the Con. and the Dates were July 1-4th, 2006 in Anaheim, CA at the Anaheim Convention Center
...Well. The 20th Anniversary is approaching next year and GUESS WHAT! Same Dates, just different city location, not Anaheim but in Los Angeles, CA at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
I'm psyched.
Now if I could just find work to cover Con. all of those days. Especially just getting the 1st two WEEKDAYS of Con. off and the Day after Con. ends since 4th of July is NOT a day you wanna be traveling home at ANY point. Which would be nice.
Because my simple plan is:
June 30th will be a Wed. which is Day 0: Badge/lanyard/badge holder pick up
July 1 and 2nd are Thurs. and Fri.
July 3rd would be a Sat.
July 4th will be a Sun.
Which means I'm not planning to check out till July 5th
And aside from that, just work all day Day 0, get off work by a vaguely good time, DRIVE DOWN to L.A., get to Hotel, Check In, then rush over to the Con. Center to Pick Up Badge and stuffs unless I can come down the Day before after work or weekend before w/copy of I.D. and Email to give to a friend to pick the stuff up for me while I'm checking in which would help me IMMENSELY...aside from the 2nd alternative which is to just take Day 0 off work which means 3 WEEKDAY business days off not counting the Day after the 4th of July take off day.
Heh.
Overall...let's just say...My friends are already in planning COSPLAY WISE for next year...They wanna do Yu-Gi-Oh!, me...^^; I has no way of Cosplaying it due to limited budget even whenever I do find work and my Mother's utter kind of "Eh" about Cosplaying and she has a bone to pick with Yu-Gi-Oh!...long story.
My Cosplays for 2010, pending funding for Con. and Hotel and Job:
-Gokudera of Katekyo Hitman Reborn (pending buying wig from Kingdom Arts if she comes back for 2010)
-Cat girl of some sort using the cat ears and fox tail I bought this year
-Watari of Yami no Matsuei
-Last panel of OP credits of Loveless Soubi
-Pridelands!Namine
Some to most of those will be worn to Gatherings and changed out for cooler outfits, like either Org. XIII Official Clothing T-shirt or SOLDIER: In Mako We Trust shirt to avoid overheating in cosplays listed, aside from Pridelands!Namine, that one is just a tank top, long skirt and safari print wrap and safari necklace and sandals
Well, if you read my entry about AX 09 and me going, I went yesterday on July 3rd and had TONS of fun and took TONS of photos; would've taken more and would've taken video of some of the stuff, but my camera batteries died on me and I didn't have fresh ones on me ><
This Con. proved one thing to me.
I
AM.
OUT.
OF.
SHAPE.
Srsly. Walking UP the Stairs in West Hall to go to the Hall for Reg. for the One Day, walking back towards the Concourse/Pertree Hall, up an escalator because I'm an idiot and wanted to avoid partial traffic, walking along the hall there towards the EXIT area at best for the Dealer's Hall, having to WALK down stairs, or maybe it was the Escalator again...then having to WALK up stairs to get to the Dealer's Hall. Then later in the day walking it over at least twice and everywhere in between...in steel toed boots no less.
I need to work out and lose the weight hanging around my gut and ass...and be ready for AX 2010
All and all, had TONS of fun as I said, got to hang with my Florida buddy, Gabby who was my JUDAIME! for the day from Katekyo Hitman Reborn while I was an epic phail Gokudera *hangs head with shame* but had fun none the less, gotta to hang w/most to all of my friends. Some were tied up with either helping in Dealer's Hall or at a Panel or hanging with a group they hang with from other Gatherings they've gone to before from Cosplay.com
One buddy of mine I was unable to find is my friend, Robert *sigh*
FINALLY got to meet our group of friend's Demyx, who goes by Jenny...SHE SO FREAKING SHORT!
Checked out the Katekyo Hitman Reborn Gathering which was made of AWESOME and got some shots before my Camera died on me; there was this one chick who was cosplaying Ryohei from it and DUDE, this chick was in utter character because the character's catch phrase, "TO THE EXTREME!" and she nailed it, even being the protective older brother of the girl that the character Tsuna has a crush on when she ended up clinging to my friend Gabby's leg when she was Tsuna.
Utter lulz all around.
Not to mention starting a dog pile with a Hibari and my friend Gabby long after the Gathering was over which lead to others piling on us which about killed me, Hibari (Gloria) and Gabby; it's all fun and games until someone can't almost breathe. And let's just say, between Gabby and I...It was a repeat of the KH Gathering from AX 07when we formed a dog pile at one time and I had someone's elbow get shoved into my ribs.
This time. I had a scarf binding my chest w/a tight fitting bra over it to keep it in place...so, being squished a top Gloria and Gabby...
I only have one thing to say.
"GET THE FUCK OFF ME!"
Got to see the dubbed Evangelion Movie that is dubbed by FUNimation; pure awesomeness with Shinji being all emoness and such and all, "I'm not loved by anyone. Not even my old man recognizes I live. All he cares about is that one chick Rei who could molest me with her eyes." Just lulz all around and can't wait for the 2nd one! I've seen parts of the anime and so I have a varying idea how the show is and such and it was just awesome.
Especially Pen-Pen squawking at Shinji when he goes to take a bath and the woman whose taken charge of housing Shinji has ONE big sized beer hiding his privates then when she picks it up, there is a smaller soda can which has you going, "...Is he really that small?"
As always. Lulz.
Things bought:
-SOLDIER: In Mako We Trust shirt from Kingdom Arts booth (Dudes, her Org. Shirts are the awesome!)
-Cat ears (X3 I loves 'em...one of the ears has an bell earring, so I jingle when I move)
-Fox tail (even though its real fur, its not a case of they were breed for JUST the cosplay reasons, they're used for Artic Clothing Wear for the people out there who do Expeditions in the Artic)
-Kyo's bracelet from Fruits Basket
-The newest Fruits Basket volume (aside from the one coming out this Month)
-Zack pin (X3 I loves me some Puppy)
-Buttons of Rufus Shinra, Cloud Strife, Bunny eared Sephiroth and Hetalia's America ( a bought a duplicate of Sephy for a friend to send to her in Nov.)
And I think that's it...
For photos, look 'em up on Photobucket and my Flickr account as soon as they finish loading...in regards to DeviantART posting of 'em...That's going to wait due to a long story
Overall, I hope to make it back next year if not for all 4, at least for the Day.
Hopefully I can get the Westin Bonaventure for 2011 if we're still having the Con. in L.A. by then and I can swing it w/whatever budget I'll have to work w/depending on the job I score, especially if its a Mon.-Fri. job...aside from Paying Rent to my folks for living in their House.
Check you all later

Well...not on this exact day, but on this particular day that it is for Anime Expo 2009, I was sitting at home, emoing and depressed because a friend mine had explained the fun she had with meeting up with a friend of ours from Florida and getting to meet her Mom and such and just reading about it made me to start ball and I literally wrote her that I was and she was worried about why I was balling.
Here's my answer: Last year, my life was Hell. Dealing with College courses and Mom hounding me to start finding Work while worrying about Financial Aid about to come to an end and having no other means of financial assitance coming in once the one from School stopped. Getting hounded and everything in between not to mention, things were Hell at home. Especially between my folks.
Not a good time to be at my house.
My Dad literally treating my Mom like shit and getting into his moods of like, "You divorce me and I'll find a way to get the house and leave you and our kids on the street. What do you have to say about that?" that just made this house a living nightmare around this time last year. But things have smoothed out now and again aside from my Dad getting cynical criticism on my 18 year old brother whose doing stuff on the House that you would expect someone to just call out and do it then pay them for their service to CHANGE out the piping we have for something sturdier.
Aside from that. I was just in a deep, dark place in my own personal self last year. Days 1 and 2 of AX 08 you couldn't even speak to me around my house. Day 1, I found out my friend that cosplays Saix or maybe it was Day 2, either way, she had injured her foot. And hearing about the fun my friends were having was leaving me balling to myself in my room to the point that when my Family went out to Dinner and I wasn't into going, I had the house to myself to ball my eyes out and be pissed that I wasn't at Con. Day 2 rolls around and its 4th of July.
Happy Freaking Birthday America.
That was done up by being at my Grandma's to watch the fireworks from her Patio as they were shot off from our local Baseball stadium, leaving voice mail messages on friend's phones to wish them a Happy 4th of July and THEN to just be a bitch because when she's around her Mom, my Mother mind you, she turns into the REVERSE vers. of the Comedian Christopher Titus' Dad "Anti-Dad" My Mom becomes "Anti-Mom!" Basic run down. Little bro was going to be somewhere, my younger bro was going to a Concert, Dad was on the Border STILL for National Guard Duty and I was going to be Home Alone. No biggie. I was 22 then, and now 23. I'M A BIG GIRL!
Conversation of Hell:
Mom: Since your brother and I are going to Toby Keith on blah blah day, you're going to go to some Christian Concert thing at the Bible College w/your Grandma and Uncle.
Me: *in my head 'DON'T I GET A SAY IN WHETHER OR NOT I WANT TO GO OUT FOR THE EVENING WITH THEM WHILE YOU GO TO A CONCERT!?!'* I'll be fine at home alone
Mom: No, you are going and that's it.
End of discussion.
They go out to watch Fireworks, I go to the bathroom to ball my eyes out. Later on, I come out to the Living Room to be a brooding lone wolf. SHUN YOU ALL I SHALL! Mom finally breaks me on what's got me being Uber Bitch. I explain that my Friend from FL was down and I missing out on SEEING her this year since Anime Expo is the ONLY time of year I get to see her. My Mom asks how long the Con. is going for and it was ending the day after tomorrow and she tells me, "Get your Dad on the phone and see if he'll give you a ride."
Lovely.
INSERT ANTI-ASSHOLE DAD OF THE YEAR!
I got to the point of "I've got a friend down from FL..." and then I broke down in tears. Thanks alot asshole. My Mom to the rescue.
She convinced him on it and he gave in even though he was like, "But I don't want to! I don't even know these people and how and where is she meeting this person?!"
Run off to bathroom, again, but to wipe away tears and call up friend from FL to ecstatic voice of her going all psycho that I was coming down the next day on July 5th and hearing everyone in the background FREAK out over the news which made me happy; jump online for directions and time for Reg. and how much, blah blah...which turned into half hour till midnight Dad being an ass once we got home of him trying to pick a fight and Mom telling me she'd take me the next day.
-1 Year Later-
I'm in a money crunch.
No job.
No going to school anymore.
...And....Emo fest almost began, BUT due to a buddy of my Dad's coming over and my folks all appaled by the state of the bathroom my Bros. and I use, its time for REMODEL!
I'm not one of those girls who gets all, "But, I don't wanna get dirty and peel wallpaper for you!" over stuff like that because it paid off.
I'm getting a 100 bucks for my hard work that I'm using for Spending Cash at Con. since part of the funds I had in my wallet works out to the 35 dollars I need for One Day Reg. on July 3rd, 2009 at the L.A. Convention Center
So.
Emo fest this year...TOTALLY AVERTED and I'm on Cloud 9 because I got to hear from my FL Friend when she made it to LAX this afternoon and I get to see her and all my local buddies and buddies from Previous Con.'s like my friend Anthony, MaeMae and HOPEFULLY my friends Kalen and Dorian. I've created friendships w/people via Con.'s and its just...its just utter joy. Even if they are younger then me ^^;
I DON'T CARE! I GET TO HAVE FRIENDS!
Anyways.
Friday, July 3rd at 7:30 a.m., I'm leaving my house in Wildomar, CA to drive an hour and a half to L.A. to the L.A Convention Center to Reg. at 9 a.m. and hang out till 7 p.m. w/my buddies!!!
HOPEFULLY for 2011 I'll have a Job and Financial means to cover Con. Reg. and a Hotel to do all 4 days of Con. and enjoy everything that there is to be with being there all 4 days with the greatest people on Earth.
My fellow Otaku/Nerds/Geeks/Weirdos and Cosplayers.
Check back after July 3rd for my Con. Report and some photos of the Fun. ^^
- Mood: cheerful
Okay, I can understand a TWO YEAR OLD not wanting to eat what's being served because its not its favorite thing, but a fifty something year old throwing a fit like one over the meal and the way its prepared? Explain to me that reasoning...
My Dad is a pissy ass man whenever my MOM isn't around at the house to cater to his every woe, like, today, my Mom and I, we went out into town to go to an Event where people were drawing on the street and sidewalks with Pastels like you would chalk and we went to lunch and did our shopping at Michael's...only to have to go to Target to stupid stuff. My Dad cut or as he put it "blood blistered" his lower leg because he was: 1) Wearing shorts while trying to weed whack the yard and 2)...He was TRYING to use it as a LAWNMOWER! You can't anymore stupid then that. He wanted us to buy stuff to heal his boo boo and when I got a hold of him on the cellphone...he tries to make me out to be the MORON who...I'm excuse me, whose the Pre-Med. like student with an A.S. in Math and Science and a LITTLE MORE knowledge about the body in regards to injuries? Do I see a moronic two year old personified fifty something year old backing down?
Tch. The idiot that he had a hematoma or in the layman's terms: a bruise.
I get home and see it...its a freaking abrasion! He scraped up his leg! And has the ass done anything for it? NO! Because he freaking Martyr! THEN just now, he and my 18 year old little bro start getting into it VERBALLY about how Sloppy Joes are made. To the point, he starts taking God's Name in vain and my Mom being the uber Christian that she is, God bless her, she comes at him with, "Who got you the job, Gary (my dad's name)?" and his asshole remark: "I got me the job!"
..Yeah. Claim it was all you jackass.
I'm boycotting eat at the moment should he walk out of his cave a.k.a. the office where he swears at a stupid Computer vers. of Mah Jong and glare at me. Not to mention he was an ass to start with this morning when I was avoiding his 3rd degree about WHY I had my shoes and socks out near me in the Living Room like I was going somewhere! I was, but I wasn't about to say where and have him be all, "Why the Hell are you guys going to do that?!" Not to mention I criticized or BITCHED at my 20 year old bro who should know to have common sense at this point when the dog's water bowl is WAY past full in the sink. The idiot literally took the bowl that I had left in the sink, and was TRYING to put it on the floor and made a watery mess in which I had to POINT OUT to clean up which got him on his whole, "YOU KNOW!" b.s. that he pulls anytime one of us asks him to do ONE thing around this house!
Which got my Dad on my ass. HIS opinion was, "You don't have the right to criticize, ONLY I DO..." Tch. B.S. you do. If you DO have that right, then why don't you use it more often to help out around the house and be an ACTUAL PARENT!
Gah.
Sorry that I'm ranting. I'm just so fed up at the moment and don't want to dump this on my friends over on Skype.
Trying to break that cycle.
><
In other news. I'm going to Anime Expo 2009 in Los Angeles, CA at the Los Angeles Convention Center on July 3rd, be prepared for a kind of photo barrage with a Con. Report after the Con.
Okay, so I hardly post on here and YET I have an Account, what's up with that?
I guess nothing really exciting to write about.
Things have been quiet between Mom and Dad aside from the months ago journals about my Dad's ass ways and the crap that was going down that it made feel like World War III was going to erupt, even though that's not till at least Tribulation after the Rapture, and if you're offended after that ONE LINE of me using Religious Prophecy right there...Then, I guess you're offended and I have nothing to say to defended or apologize for.
ANYWAY.
Aside from my Dad's whole, "Its the Military's fault that my records are screwed up to show I'm retired which will keep me from getting picked up for a Mission or w/e else have yous" Yeah Dad, blame the only other form of financial gain you're getting aside from your Full Time Civilian job that puts us at penny pinching and ALMOST broke after paying the Bills. Lovely. Things have been all cool, calm, and collected on the Western Front (Hahaha, pun there...there is a literature book called All Quiet On The Western Front written from the view of a group of young men in the Military during WWII) And even with the started Front Bathroom remodel...Dad...he either HIDES it really well, or is just that stupid and blind to not have seen the fact that the bathroom ceiling was free of w/e we had on it before and was primed to be textured, THEN PRIMED AND PAINTED.
Things are moving with that...and thankfully, in my own personal opinion, I'm SO GLAD, I'm not one of those stereotypical Sweet Valley High girls that gets all "Ewww" over working with her hands and being on her hands and knees in the dirt kind of girl. Not being that kind of person has assured me, financially, that I can afford to make the trip to Los Angeles next month (even if its an hour and a half drive by my Mom driving me down) to attend Anime Expo on Day 2 which July 3rd. So psyched about it.
Um...Here and there working on fanfics that pop up randomly my head, working on WIP ones that are either chapters long or have been worked into several chapters and nearing completion alongside a Collab I'm doing with a girl from DeviantART who followed me from Fanfiction.net XP And the occasional AMV when my popcorning mind decides to want to be inspirational and some of the new works I've done can be found at my YouTube account
Me on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Riz
Either way...STILL JOB HUNTING AND NOTHING HAS H
And I've come up with a new philosophy about the world.
If you're familiar with the phrase "Catch 20" which is mostly, you are capable of doing something or you WANT to do something, but yet you have no means to accomplish it...
In my case: I have the knowledge/education for working as a Medical Assistant, need/want a JOB in such a field, BUT no prior Job Experience except a 2 and a half month Internship about a year or so ago...
Been trying fast food to GROCERY STORES.
Even Lowe's and Home Depot.
No prior exp.
Consider your ass not considered at ALL.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?
And in regards to my new philosophy about the World, it is this: "Catch 20 is the World's way of saying 'YOU'RE SCREWED!' " End of quote.
Still looking.
Still searching.
But this economy better pick its feet up pretty damn fast or else I'm looking at being broke.
Even the idiot phone salesman at the Cellphone stand in Costco yesterday was like, "Well, I don't know what to tell you about your phone shutting itself off if its not this, this, and this...but you can buy this 20 dollar slider phone."
Dude.
I'm 100 something in the bank and looking at going broke if I BLOW that kind of cash INCLUDING activation/new contract fees ON TOP of your 20 dollar phone.
Even if my Mom was willing to help with assistance there to just do it for me...
Tch.
My phone isn't eligible for an UPGRADE till Dec.
I can go the next 6 months with the turning itself off now and again Nokia cell I have.
In the long run.
Going to Anime Expo 2009 on July 3rd, 2009 at Los Angeles Convention Center.
Look for the blonde dork with the "Anime Crack is Cheaper" messenger bag, angry kitty faced Kyo purse with buttons on the strap of her purse with Tigger ears in hair and old dog collar and cheap Christmas ornament bell around collar to be makeshift cat girl for the day and probably running around with some wild ass Cosplayers that'll be screaming, "I LOST THE GAME!"
Check you guys later.
Oh yeah.
New obsession.
SUPERNATURAL! JENSEN ACKLES (I hope that's the right name for Dean's character) IS THE HOTNESS!!!
NEW SEASON THIS FALL!
NEED.
WANT.
CRAVE.
MORE SUPERNATURAL.
XP Yesterday was my birthday in which I went to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA and enjoyed it to its fullest even if I'm suffering from the pains of walking the park over and standing in line all day, but overall I had fun and these photos are just a little taste of the madness I had yesterday ^^ And it doesn't end here. I'm going back on April 6th to use up the other half of my 2fer pass I got from the Park for my b-day entrance
Well, I put my fingers to the work of working up this:
for 
XD She was so spazzy from what's she told me when she got this simple little thing
My fingers were so sore after I finished because I spent so much time trying to get it done before New Year's Eve as a kind of Belated birthday/Christmas gift for her. Its my friend Gabby out in FL and i made it up due to she cosplays Ryoji Mochizuki from Shin Megami Tensei's Persona 3 and I just felt like doing it for her this way she has something to wear during the Winter months in Florida while Winter is still upon us
I hope you enjoy this thing immensely from all the work that went into it...and FIND THE SACRED ENVELOPE SCRAPS!
And that's my update on everything for the moment...and Gabby, if you find this...and beg for the photo of you to be removed, I have this to say *sticks tongue out* NOT HAPPENING DEARIE! XDDD
See ya all later.
Well.
Semester started out interesting and exciting and full of new experiences...and yet more Anatomy and such to be shoved down my throat by taking an EMT Course, but either way, its nearly over, but the MONTH ISN'T OVER!
Update on Classes:
Voice Class: Final 1 of 2 complete
Spanish: Final 1 of 3 complete
EMT: Final...NOT HAPPENING!
Reason for the last one not happening. Its due to I epically phail at taking Manual Blood Pressure when being doing w/the Skill's Instructor like, RIGHT NEXT TO YOU when your trying to catch a classmates Blood Pressure and not being 4 points off...and since I epically phail at it and didn't to get it signed off, I automatically phail the Course at this point.
Let's hope the College's Financial Office doesn't get too on me about it...and its not like they can put me on Educational Probation since I'm not even going to be on their stupid Campus in Spring when I take Spanish 102 at an Off Campus Satellite site and if I get a Job after the Holidays, I won't have to put up with their crap about having to go through the Board of Governor's Fee Waiver crap.
In other news!
My schedule between now and Christmas.
12/13: Church related activity
12/14: Church Potluck
12/16: Spanish Final 2 of 3
12/18: Spanish Final 3 of 3
12/21: Nutcracker w/Mom
12/24: Christmas Eve Candlelight service at Church
12/25: Duh! Christmas!
Either way. I've gotta work on getting a Job and Driver's License to HOPEFULLY be able to afford AX 09 for all 4 days and at best, a Hotel that I can just travel back and forth each of the days.
So, see ya folks around

At least one of my favorites would have to be the time when we got to do Tennis at least maybe once or twice in P.E., that was an interesting and fun game to play that I wish I could pick up and just play w/others but due to lack of a social life because I like hardly known that many people in my small town or classes and only see most of my classmates on days of class and I lack a car and driver's license, it kind of makes that a hard game to try and pursue.
XP It may not be some exciting bit of news but it shows I'm at least alive
The first off on the run through is the limited time engagment showing of the new KirK Cameron movie: Fireproof.
Now. Some of you might start whining and griping, "Eww, its a Christian's only movie." No. Totally off the record there. There IS some Christian stuff thrown about in the Movie, but you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy this movie, you can be some of other religion and still enjoy it; I personally loved it, especially Kirk Cameron's old neighbor because each time Kirk Cameron's character would storm out of his house, mad about something, be it his wife, or the crappy way things are going regarding a 40 Day Challenge he takes from his Dad to try and save his marriage, there is this old man and its about the simplistic piece of humor throughout the movie.
Basic movie rundown, w/o spoiling it: A married man is the Fire Chief of the Local Fire Dept. and spends his days saving and rescuing people from burning buildings, people he doesn't know and yet, the man doesn't seem to have the respect for human beings that he does when rescuing them compared to the feelings of his wife. Slowly but surely, their Marriage is reaching a breaking point of where someone is going to throw Divorce papers or the "D" word at the other. After the man who is the Firefighter has a talk w/his Parents, the man is issued a 40 Day challenge (Kind of a hidden metaphor for the 40 days/nights flood in the Bible in regards to Noah *nudge nudge*) to do one thing NICE in those 40 days for his Wife.
Unfortunately for him, his wife starts taking his "Nice" gestures from the Challenge he's doing as a way of kissing up for all the Hell he's put her through before and slowly but surely, she finally at one point, leaves him a notice of Divorce which starts to crush the man's spirits, but through all the possible hopelessness, the man manages to find his own means of Salvation and eventually, his wife does as well.
Basically showing, that even with God's help and your own human like means to try and save you and your marriage from turning into a burning train wreck where you wished that you could have done something to change it for the better, anything is possible. Maybe even, Fireproof.
If I spoiled anything for you in that, sorry ^^;
SECOND MOVIE! Dreamwork's Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa
What can I say about this meant for possibly Elementary Grade kids compared to the competiting movie in Theaters geared towards young and Middle School kids known as High School Musical 3: Senior Year, all I can say about Madagascar 2 is this...YOU HAVE TO SEE THE HILARITY!!!
If you remember the little old lady from the first one with her whole, "YOU'RE A BAD KITTY!" ...She's. Back.!
Lot of humor, lot of new jokes including some spoofing on the whole Security scares about the ban on hand creams, lotions, and scissors among other things not allowed on planes anymore...over all. Funny AND you get to meet Alex's folks!
Fave line: "Dating? As in date other dudes?" -Melman the Giraffee...You'd have to see the movie to find out the scene and why he said it, but its hilarious!!
That's all I can say about it.
GO.
OUT.
AND.
SEE.
IT.

For those of you who voted for Barrack Obama tonight. I hope you're happy. You've, in my opinion, DOOMED, this bloody country.
Thanks.
Thanks alot.
May I all hope that you guys are happy with the outcome for what is liable to come about him becoming the President for the next 4 years.
Myself and my family personally.
...I don't know what to say.
I can only pray that Props 4 and 8 get voted through as a "Yes", but that's just my personal opinion. If you voted "No" on those Two; then, well...I can't change your mind now, you've made up and hope you enjoy the Hell you've brought on this Country; the Lord Jesus Christ is going to be crying tonight for all the babies that will be lost if Prop 4 is passed as No that would if a huge vote of "Yes" is put through, it will change a lot of young girls that are choicing to abort their unborn babies life by having them wait 48 hours and have their Parents know that their kid screwed up and was willing to destroy their soon to be grandchild...regardless of circumstance.
Anyway.
I'm gonna just go hide off and vent off to myself at what you Stupid Democrats have to done to this Country.
Thanks for screwing it up for the rest of us.
