Dear Mario,

With so so so much love and admiration,

Dear Julie,
You sure looked like you were having fun up there! I can't thank you enough for saving my ass, and the skit.
Lots and lots of love and thanks,

OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH
America, England, Canada, France, and Russia, dancing Hare Hare Yukai. There's even a preview of Bouken Desho Desho in there.
I WANT AN ANIME OF THIS NAO PLZ. HURRY UP JAPAN -____-;
I need Hetalia icons O=
[EDIT] Oh man, little things I noticed the second time watching it:
-America taking a bite of a hamburger at 0:26
-America's jacket says "SOS" on the back
-England keeps glaring at France and France bugs him and giggles XDD wait, I was wrong! France flails out too much on one of the dance moves (on purpose or by accident, lol?) and smacks England on the side of the head, so that's why England keeps glaring at him. Then on his last spin England purposely kicks France and then we see France clutching at his stomach when the rest of them are supposed to be raising their arms up. Oh, those two...
[EDIT 2] huurrrr I have Hetalia icons now!!
  :DD

The final chapter of the Turn Back the Pendulum arc.
I seriously got shivers running down my whole body. It all fits together so perfectly. And now, back in the present, the Vaizards march out to re-enter the battle they've hidden from for 110 years. Kubo is a genius.

| Hetalia! |
[19 Jun 2008|04:28am] |
Omigosh I am so obsessed with Axis Powers: Hetalia, it's ridiculous.
Basically, imagine all the major (and some not-so-major) nations of the world, rather than being areas of land with governments... are all adorable anime boys/girls. Mostly boys, lol. They form alliances (which ends up being a lot like dating, hurr), wage wars, all those things nations do and have done since the beginning of civilization. Some of is is historically accurate, some of it is just crack... but it is all 100% AWESOME.
BEHOLD
My favorite characters are America, England, Canada, Austria, Russia, and Lithuania. Although honestly, they're all pretty amazing. America loves cheeseburgers, and pisses off the other nations all the time because he always sticks his nose in their matters XDD England gets annoyed and flustered with America a lot because America is always goofing around and not taking him serious, and England gets all grumpy and disgruntled (IT'S SO CUTE), and Canada is like... a more dorky version of America, and he's always pictured with a polar bear teddy. Russia is a tough one to figure out - he's got a bloody history, but sort of comes off as big and gentle, and always has vodka with him. He's got a sort of child-like cruelty, like a kid who tortures a bug or something. And it seems like even when he tries to make things right he always just ends up hurting people. He must be really lonely T_T Lithuana is Russia's maid/bitch (I think this is supposed to represent the Russian occupation of Lithuania) and is super moe and adorable and falls over all himself to help other people. Oh, and Austria is a stubborn, old-fashioned, cravat-wearing classical pianist. of course I love him XD. And France is super-fabulous and a horrible flirt and really full of himself. He and England are always fighting and trying to best each other.
My favorite pairings are America/England, America/Canada, Germany/Italy, Russia/Lithuania, Sweden/Finland, and pretty much anyone/Japan. Because everyone hits on Japan.
OH AND THEY'RE MAKING A DRAMA CD *_*

| a fun meme! |
[18 Jun 2008|02:32am] |
This has been floating around on my friends page, and I figured it would be nice to fill out!
You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.
1. First name: Jennifer-Marie (JJ to most)
2. Age: 20
3. Location: Wayland, MA
4. Hometown: The first six years of my life I lived in Brighton MA but I consider Wayland my hometown.
5. Occupation: Student at Tufts University, sometimes a cashier at Omni Foods
6. Partner: Alli, my partner in crime
7. Kids: nope, but someday!
8. Brothers/Sisters: Edward the 4th, aka Eddie, 18 years old
10. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
(1) School. I'm doing a summer semester, and my current class is Environmental Biology. I love it way more than I ever expected I would, to the point where I'm considering taking more science courses and considering Biology as a second major.
(2) Cosplay, my favorite hobby. It especially takes over during summer, when I go to the most cons! Right now I've got ANext this weekend but I'm mostly focusing on AX, as I'm a part of two very exciting ACP events.
(3) Hanging out with Alli. I basically do this whenever I'm not stuck at home with homework. We sew together, watch anime together, shop together, eat together (I cook and she does dishes), and sleep over at each other's houses (usually hers.) Rob and Alanna are a very welcome added bonus to the JJ & Alli combo.
(4) Weight loss and exercise. I've been making a considerable effort and I'm actually happy with my progress. It's a big frustrating because I don't have a working scale in my house and it's hard to notice a difference in your appearance day to day. But I HAVE noticed that in the past two weeks I've increased my running distance up to a mile and a half, running at a moderate pace, and I'm probably not even pushing myself as hard as I can. It makes me happy to see proof that I'm making SOME progress. I'll ease up to those 5 miles runs I used to be able to do!
11. Parents: Edward the 3rd and Kathy, married and still adorably in love.
12. Who are some of your closest friends?: Alli, Sey, Rob, Alanna
13. Do you drink/smoke?: I drink socially (it usually just ends up being at conventions), and I don't smoke, because well, it's pretty smelly and gets expensive.
14. Tattoos/Piercings: One piercing in each ear. I keep pondering getting a few more holes in each ear, but I always forget to put earrings in, anyway...

| calling all Mori's |
[18 Jun 2008|12:28am] |
Would anyone going to AnimeNEXT be able to be Mori from Ouran High School Host Club for a skit?
It's actually not technically a skit, but a short intermission performance that Mario (![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) neo2469) has put together. We have the entire host club minus Mori, and we really need him! The only requirements are that you should be tall, and be able to have fun and ham it up onstage. We can supply the jacket/tie.
If you're interested and can help us out we'll love you FOLEVAH!

| for sale: Isabella from ParaKiss |
[16 Jun 2008|03:56pm] |
I'm selling my Isabella costume! It's hard to part with this costume because I poured so much time and love into it, and the two times I wore it were very memorable, but I'm really starting to run out of space to keep all my costumes! And since I'm constantly adding new ones, I guess it's finally time to pass the old ones on to people who will get more use out of them.
So! Isabella cost me a little over $200 and many many hours to make, and I'm asking for $150.
The costume includes:
-skirt
-vest
-petticoat
-purple wig
-hat
-lace parasol
-lace gloves (not in the picture, I bought them after that picture was taken)
It's only been worn twice, and is in good shape.
( More photos of the costume and additional info behind the cut )
I hope I can sell this to someone who will enjoy wearing it as much as I did :D

Hello people, yes, hi.
The Gurren Lagann fantasy AU video circling around right now?
NOT A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE
You can tell most people got the link from 4chan or some LJ community, without even looking at the official website.
It's part of Gurren Lagann Parallel Works' "Music Clip Project", a project that is independent from the movies. It's just gonna be a bunch of music videos set to GL songs, and each music video has different themes. This was the first one, with the "fantasy RPG" theme. There will be more videos, but they'll all have different themes so this isn't a preview of more fantasy-style GL to come, unfortunately.
...Though maybe the fantasy-style will be popular enough so that we'll get another music video of Sir Simon, Sir Kamina, and Sir Viral I can only hope XD
But yeah, don't go freaking out and telling everyone that it's for the movie because then there will be a lot of very very disappointed people.

| various nice things |
[01 Jun 2008|11:59pm] |
Awww, I just heard my mom talking to her best friend on the phone and gushing about the birthday present I made her... That made me feel so fuzzy and happy :D
(She has this old pin cushion she loves, and it was ripping and falling apart, but none of the ones in fabric stores were soft like hers, so she didn't want to buy a new one. So I took hers and ripped off the old fabric and re-covered it with fabulous Elvis fabric, so now it's as good as new, and much more rockin'.)
I suppose I don't need to say my mother's birthday dinner was a very pleasant occasion :)
Speaking of pleasant occasions, Alli and I went to zacku's graduation party, and had a wonderful time! There was good food, and fun, relaxed hanging out with some really awesome people. Thanks for inviting us, Zack!

Pictures I've been meaning to upload...
( new animu figures, and my last day in the dorm. )
Now, allow me to tell you about the Tufts Senior Gala. Basically it's the a super fancy-shmancy dance, one of the highlight celebrations put on for graduating seniors. Robsie, the awesome and cool senior (NOW GRADUATE) invited me to be his date, since Alanna was home visiting her family. So basically I was the replacement girlfriend XD And it was so much fun! It was extremely fancy (you can tell Tufts put a shitton of money into it.) Like, I'm talking extremely nice hotel, several ballrooms, food was a delicious array of various cheeses and fruits and deserts (Rob and I pigged out because we just had to try everything!!), and they even had an ice sculpture of a elephant, the Tufts mascot. I was blown away O_o. Of the two main ballrooms, once played typical popular music for dances (rap, etc), but the other one had live jazz! And as I soon discovered, it was my trumpet teacher's group that was playing, lol. They played lots of 40's and 50's swing music, and man I wish I could have stayed in that room the whole time! All the other friends I was with wanted to dance to boring rap, though -_-. Guess I was born into the wrong generation...
Oh also the dress I'm wearing, I sewed up like two hours before the dance. Robsie invited me, I happily accepted, and then... realized that I do not own a dress that's not a hueg poofy cosplay dress. So I tore through our storage closet, found a dress that fit me when I was around 11, and made a dress for myself reusing the skirt section of the old dress and remaking the top part. It's times like that when I'm thankful I know how to sew!!
( Anyway, pics! These are all Peter's pics since Rob never uploaded his (WHY??) )
It was so much fun, thank you for inviting me Rob :D
Anyway, the other night I made some good progress on Soul's jacket! I think tonight I shall work on cleaning my room (there is STILL stuff I have to unpack from school, lol) and sew some more.
Also my "n" key is being very stubborn and it's annoying me quite a bit.

| another update on MAI LAIFU |
[28 May 2008|06:12am] |
I never thanked you all for your advice, back when I was despairing over finishing those papers. I took Tina's advice to go to sleep, and then force myself to work on them in the morning. They're now almost done, and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders just knowing I was able to push past my rut.
The summer semester has just started, and today I had my second Environmental Bio class, which I'm (surprisingly) enjoying quite a bit. I loved bio in high school, but after taking chemistry and physics in my following years I lost any taste I had for science. Still, the course I'm taking now is very interesting, and the professor is a very enthusiastic and engaging lecturer! I'm glad I decided to only take one class, since I'm discovering that just this one class (seven hours a week of class and about 100 pages per week of dense readings) is going to be more than enough of a load, especially once I start up with my summer job.
I've been practically living at Alli's apartment this past week, which has been fuunnnn! She even set up her bedroom so that I have my very own bed now!! I almost cried when she surprised me by showing me, I was so happy. But come to think of it, where the hell did she get an extra bed...? Does she have four more stowed away somewhere in that apartment?? Anyway, we've spent lots of time watching anime and playing video games. I beat Vol 2 of .hack//GU, which thanks to my broken PS2 I hadn't been able to until now, and started Xenosaga. It's interesting, but I can't believe I played for 2 hours and pretty much spent the entire time watching cut scenes... Anyway, I bought Vol 3 of GU, so that will be taking priority, hehe.
I also finally started watching FUSHIGI YUUGI! Alli has it on DVD, and we've been plowing through episodes like nobody's business. We left off on episode 24. I can't believe what a great series I missed out on!! I'm completely hooked. I'm also head over heels for pretty much all of the Suzaku Seven. Between Tamahome and Hotohori, I find myself wishing to be in Miaka's shoes pretty much every second I watch the show. And I absolutely can't get over Tasuki. I don't know if it's the kansai-ben or the red hair and moefangs, but I gush a little bit every time he does, well, anything. If only real guys were like that, maybe I'd give them another chance...! Hahaha XD
Also, I bought fabric for Soul. I can't wait to get started on him! AX is going to start creeping up pretty soon, so I have to get on that. Although today is looking like it's going to be nice out, so maybe I'll go outside and work in the garden instead. And once Mom gets back from the dealership with the new bike helmet, I can finally ride the moped we bought around!

| A wonderland, inside the mind. |
[24 May 2008|04:58am] |
A few seconds ago I finished reading Haruki Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. I started reading it about a month and a half ago, but since I brought it with me everywhere I ended up losing it before long. With the semester drawing to a close and the work load piling up, I never had a chance to buy a new copy. I finally grabbed it at the library today and tore through the final 150 pages in a few hours.
It was quite an adventure of a read. It didn't blow my mind as much as slowly churn it up from the inside out. I feel the need to reflect, but I'm not even sure how do much right now besides take a deep breath and try to let the conclusion seep in.
I'll certainly be going back to the library ASAP to return it and pick up another Murakami novel!

| R2 episode 6 |
[11 May 2008|10:58pm] |
Wow, what a disappointing episode, after waiting 6 hours to watch it.
I like Code Geass without Nunally. Every minute she's on screen = pure boredom for me. So basically, this entire episode was a boring letdown. Rolo is far superior - can't we just ditch Nunally for the cuter replacement?
|
|
| T____T |
[11 May 2008|01:58pm] |
One of the few things I hate about being at home is the shitty internet connection. Geass 6 is downloading at 6 kbs. SIX.
At Tufts the average download went anywhere from 500-1000 kbs.
In other news. CODE GEASS R2 EPISODE 6 SPEED SUB IS OUT, GO GET IT.

[10 May 2008|11:30am] |
So, I'm officially home from college! I still have a lot of work to do (essays and a research paper to email to teachers), but it's so nice to be home sweet home. When I arrived home last night, Dad was talking on the phone with my godfather so loudly I could hear him from the kitchen, and Eddie and his boyfriend were in the living room playing the new GTA game. Ah yes, good to know nothing had changed :DDD Then I talked on the phone with Sey for a bit until I practically fell asleep to the sound of her voice (lol Sey you are my lullaby), and hopefully I will see Alli tonight! My life is complete.
Anyway, I made a NYCC/TMR post the other day but I never included any photos, so I might as well make this post an opportunity to share them now!
( Photos from me and Alli's NYC trip! )
And there you have it - visual proof of our stunning adventure in New York!
