I am totally sold on the English dubbing of "Hetalia."  I will venture to say I love it more than the original dialogue.  I was afraid they'd clean out everything not PC (which is the entire show), but they made it more offensive and added more innuendo.  My mind is blown.

I still need subtitles for the first episode.  I swear some of the ( Read more... )

I'm pushing myself to draw more and it's turning out okay so far. I told myself I wouldn't put out the money for a tablet until I improved my skills, partly because it would be useless to paint crappy drawings and partly as a reward for working hard ( Read more... )

I found writing on my door 5 seconds ago. It looks like it says "Boy" or "Born" in blue ink and the style is harsh and straight-lined like you'd see carved into a picnic table. It's weird because I didn't do it and I don't know who else would have unless my family is into defacing their own house ( Read more... )

It would be nice if I could stop hearing about plane crashes and engine failures and bomb threats a week before I fly out to Dallas.

The bodice of my dress is giving me issues.  The fabric doesn't stretch at all so I had to make it tight so it didn't bunch and wrinkle.  Now that I've done the hems it's gotten tighter.  I can wear it, I just have to watch my movements and my breathing.  o_O  argh.  The sleeves are a bit too short for my liking as well.  They shortened more than I ( Read more... )

One thing I didn't miss about home - tornado season.  When the sky turns bright yellow and the sirens go off, forget about it.  I can't even handle regular thunderstorms.

More cosplay production pics.  I need to put myself on a schedule now to make sure everything gets done.  The date is creeping up faster than I think.

The light in my room is yellow, so the colors in these pictures look horrible.  Imagine something prettier.
