Abyssal Refuge

ALRIGHT! I'm bringing this blog back to life! SO much has happened since that last entry, and I've had to literally keep a huge, long list of all the things I've wanted to blog about because there was no time. ;~; I semi-died during finals week with no sleep and very little food, then I graduated...somehow (yay!), then I was immediately thrust into cleaning/packing mode and finalizing degree + apartment paperwork, visiting old friends I won't see again for years, training for a physical fitness assessment, MORE packing and cleaning, and getting ready for another big life event. It was overwhelming. And then I still didn't get a break after taking care of all that, because right afterward, we loaded up the vehicles, and my Dad and I drove across the continent to my new home. ^^; I'll blog about all that later, but for noooow... I GOT TO ATTEND THE CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL FINALLY ON APRIL 21, 2013~! A dream come true for me. I have a couple friends to thank fo...

-WARNING- This entry is a rant.  Read at your own risk.      I had to apologize to a good friend today who was gracious enough to accompany me to an anime convention I frequent. She was pretty excited about it, and while I had some fun, for the most part I was just 'meh' about it. And other times I was downright cynical, so I felt bad.  I often get that way at cons due to the people. Some folks are awesome, wonderful, talented, and fun to be around. But then there are many con goers are, bluntly, disgusting...and I have low tolerance for the behavior.  I support having fun. I support being immature every now and then. What I don't support is grown, healthy, adult human beings acting like preschoolers in a public place like its okay. It makes me sick, quite literally at times.  Do not   scream if you want something. Talk. Ask politely. RESTRAIN YOURSELF like an educated, intelligent, sane, well-behaved person. Trust me, it's poss...

Yo~! Just a short blurb about some stuff that ran through my head as I was finishing my latest costume - So, I’ve finally finished the masterpiece I’ve been dreaming about for over a decade. Uni’s always been a reflection of how I see myself in the mirror. When I drew her for the first time a year or so after conjuring the idea of her, I was just starting to grow out my bangs around the 4 th and 5 th grades and had to wear epic headbands to keep them out of my face; I distinctly remember my folks, and even my teacher, getting on my case about the unruly hair. Long hair was a must for me, including the bangs, so I dealt with it. After a while I attempted to part them to the side as was suggested. I parted them on my right so the bulk would flow to my left…that’s how it looked best to me in the mirror anyway. Since forever, I’ve looked better in my reflection than in reality, IMO. As such, Universe has always been more beautiful in my mind. She’s who I want to...
