glareola, I got your card today! It's sooooo pretty! I hung the paper ornament on our tree :D I will try to post pics of our Christmas, but I warn you they won't be very exciting XD Thank you so much ♥ I'm happy to be your friend too!

While I'm talking about cards I need to say to misskalloway and tsukeru that I got wrapped up with finals and bday gifts for friends so I was not able to send anything to you two yet >< I'll promise to hurry up!

Everyone else who requested cards had there's sent a while ago. Lemme know when you get them if you haven't already! ^^ (I feel like everyone should've gotten there's already ><)

And to people who have made card posts that I've not replied to: I just don't have the money or time to send anymore cards >< I don't love you any less ♥

I had a nice time at Michelle's party tonight. I don't see her that often because she's busy. It's funny cuz she lives closest of anyone I know! Anyway, I think I see her realatives more often than I see my own lol It was a nice relaxing visit. I mostly watched her little nieces and nefew play Wii.
I haven't gone to any bday parties in months, and now I'm going to two in one week XD It's so strange how that happens. I'm so excited to see my Romano again Saturday X3 ♥ Especially since she was the only one besides Jess&Sarah to come to my bday!

song_of_truth, I wore my bracelet and scarf to the party tonight :D

I read today that Studio Ghibli's new movie will be The Borrowers :/ Don't get me wrong, I like that story, but I've seen two live actions based on it already D| I'd rather see a story I'd never seen before. But they will probably do like with Howl and make it totally different from the original yet equally good.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In October I punched waifus in the arm (-10 points). Last Tuesday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole tfml_doujinshi's purse (30 points). Last Saturday I ruled Canada as a cruel and heartless dictator (-700 points). In January I stole spiderling's purse (-30 points). Last Sunday blue_rose_sama and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-699 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal! Sincerely, soraryuu

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

I did have such fun as dictator of Canada!

This is so awesome, it doesn't even go under a cut.

EREKA, WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME!?
This is like the nicest gift ever! I totally wasn't expecting it! It was just so sweet I was shaking while opening it ;^; I- I need to get you something equally nice now! I'm just overwhelmed ♥

In other words, I got a gift from song_of_truth in the mail today. :)



So many pretty presents :o I actually admired them for a half hour before opening.


Stuff! Oh my gosh the Lietuvia scarf!! I will wear my Liet cosplay around the house tomorrow, just so I can take pics with the scarf. In fact, I'm wearing Liet again to Non Con in February just so I can show off the scarf XD
And the chocolate!! It tastes so amazing! Usually, I take forever to finish a candy bar, but this will be gone very quickly.
The itty-bitty pin will look adorable on Rosamund when I'm not using it XD



The bracelet! It's so my style! I'll wear it all the time.



Thank you so, so much ♥ You didn't have to do that for me! But I love it all. Now I need to think what I can do in return XD

Today was my last day of finals! I'm pretty sure I failed math and sucked on everything else I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Tomorrow, I go to Michelle's bday party, Friday I might hang with Jess, and Saturday I go to shinigamixiii's bday party. Life is good again :Db

Now...to figure out where I left off watching Suteki Tantei Labyrinth...

psykofishie and kaiyashe! I got your cards today! thank you so much! It was super nice to come home to after my first final ♥

@psykofishie- The card was so cute! You know I always love your Moped Cow XD And the card for Rosamund was so sweet X3 I was like awwwwwww. She says thanks :)

@kaiyashe- Cute penguins XD And now you can have renewed faith in the Canadian post because it came before Christmas! XDb

So the one guy in my group project in Communication told me he liked anime today. On the last day lol He asked if i liked Tokyo Godfathers and Howl's Moving Castle (both of which I do). But why on the last day? XD;; this is how my life works lol

I think both our group project and my final exam went well :) Tomorrow is my Psych final. I also get my Color portfolio back. I'll scan some of my better pieces and put them on DA :)

I just downloaded the Vocaloid Miki Christmas album. I've gotta say, I really like both Miki's voice and design :Db Easily one of my fave Vocaloids now. I like her a lot better than the other more recent ones like Luka, Gakupo, and Gumi.

I was looking on Manga Fox to read Heart no Kuni no Alice, but when I typed it in, it also showed a series called Are You Alice? on the manga list. I hadn't heard of it so I decide to try it because I'm a huge sucker for Alice themes. I just started the 3rd chapter, but the series seems pretty promising so far. Alice is a boy in this one :) The Queen of Hearts is boy too XD I sort of want to cosplay him. Oh but here I go again, back into series no one's ever heard of orz Anyway, there's a really good review of it here: http://metanorn.kokidokom.net/2009/07/manga-hunting-are-you-alice/
I hope it stays interesting >< I don't read manga online besides Hetalia much anymore so I hope I'm not wasting my time.

Speaking of Alice, I did watch SyFy's Alice when it was on. It was good and I'd say it was more enjoyable than Tin Man. But I felt like i had been there and done that. The plot of the humans being kidnapped and harvested for thier emotions was nearly exactly like book 3 of Keys to the Kingdom. And I'm sick to death of parents getting misplaced in fantasy series. I mean, 10th Kingdom, Wrinkle in Time...let's see something else from now on, k? It's almost as bad as the number of dissapearing big brothers in anime! (Spiral, Loveless, etc.). Well, it was entertaining but unoriginal. It could have been weirder too :p Things are rarely weird enough to make me happy! lol

I've been trying all sorts of new things lately! lol I tried watching Ghost Hound on ANime Network, but it was very underwhelming. There was nothing to make me want to keep watching.

Once again, I don't think any of next season's anime look very good D| Anime's been so blah lately. Well, that leaves me time to catch up on old stuff.

As you can see, I'm trying very hard to regain my lost interest in my hobbies XD

We got our Christmas tree today, but the rest of the day was spoiled by a bad ice storm ):

My first final is tomorrow >< But I promise that I'll reply comments soon!

There were no Christmas Cards in my mailbox again today ):

POLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND. ♥
He is so fabulous. It;s amazing. The strip the ep is based off was the one that made him my 2nd fave chara, but seeing it animated made me love him even more XD Kyaa~ And the pink shirt made it all the better.

My Psych prof invited me to Honors Child Psych D: Like, a personal invitation to an honors course. Why!? My grades suck! She must just need a seat filler... I don't like kids and I don't want to learn about them. i don't want to learn about anything at all, actually. She's also the 2nd prof who told me that I should become an Art Therapist. How can I help others when I'm so screwed up myself?

Today was my last day of regular classes.
I've been at this school for 4 semesters and I'm not even near graduating. It's because I don't try. How can I possibly want to try if I hate all my courses except for art? This school is such a dead end. i wish I could get out. I justw ant to study art.
I've been at this school 4 semesters and not made a single friend. I know it's not me; it's them. But it's so frustrating that no one is like me. Everyone is mainstream and normal. It feels like how I imagine highschool.

But! The beginning of Winter Break will be my 1 year anniversary of Hetalia fandom!! :D Hetalia has changed me so much for the better. It's made me more aware of people in other countries. It's made me able to make new friends (even if none of them live less than an hour and 15 min. away! ) and having these friends has allowed me to not be so guarded. I can hug now and tell friends that I love them; things I had a hard time with before. I have super special amazing lj friends now too! Friends from all over the world! I get so much snail mail now from you people XD I love you all ♥ I also have more fun at cons now that people recognise the character I'm playing. In fact, a girl on DoA (the bjd forum) commented on our bjd meet up pics and said that she recognised me from seeing pics of my Hungary cosplay! How special is that? It made me feel really good. I might not be a very good cosplayer, but at least I stand out XD
The draw back is that because I live in such a remote area, I get very jealous when my irl Hetalia acquaintances (between Anime Next and NYAF, I've met many of the NYC area APH cosplayers) do things together that I can't go to. It's stressful. My biggest wish for the coming year is the have an APH friend that I can see often. I'm kind of obsessed with this wish ^^;;;
I got into APH last December when the anime was first announced. I thought it sounded good and decided to try the manga. Then you see what became of me after that XD
Thank you, Hetalia, for an amazing year ♥

deathberrry!! I got your card! Thank you! ♥

Stolen from loveanime18 :

( a look back at my cosplays in 2009 )

I realised that I've begun talking more on FaceBook than here D: Oh the horror of it all.

A had a snow day today! Whoo hoo! No pic of it this time, sorry. Didn't accomplish much. I just packed up some old toys I sold off on the MLP forum so I can ship them out tomorrow (I made $14 just selling junk :Db). And I worked on the cards for the secret card exchange on DoA (I'm going overboard again, but not as much as last year). Once school is done, I can do my LietPol secret santa. I've decided to make it a fic rather than art. I'm actually not looking forward to this at all. I won't do an exchange like this again next year orz
Speaking of Secret Santas, I feel off by not joining the one on Smack Jeeves (the web comic site) again this year :/ I'll have to get back into it next year.

I really, really want to have a Heart no Kuni no Alice cosplay group! Anyone?? :DD Plz? I'd tell Jess to be Vivaldi/Queen of Hearts but its so complicated with all the poofiness ^^;;;;
I'm pretty sure I'll be doing my Alice for Anime Next.

2010 cosplay schedule I'm fairly sure of now:
Anime Next: Alice and blue flower shirt!Liet
Anime North: Kaiko and blue flower shirt!Liet (I couldn't choose one con for it so I'll just get my money's worth :p)
Manga Next: Plenair
Yes ♥

FuyuComi is coming up. Since I only have $14 (oh wait, I found $3 in my laptop bag!) $17 I'm going to bug Mom to lend me some so I can get some stuff. I know I'll be asking for the FranSey anthology. The SwissLiech one is super tempting, but I just don't have the money for 2 antholos. I think I'll just also get one or two of Dot K's LietPol books. I missed buying doujinshi so much ;^; Oh, being poor...


OMG YES NEW FLAIR BACKGROUNDS ON FACEBOOK. *brb arranging them for hours*

Dude. My yard. It's like a magical fairy land, I swear. Er, as long as the neighbors decide to be quiet that day and you ignore the trash in the river :Db But seriously, there are deer and bunnies and all kinds of forest friends to romp with |D

Other than that, I think Disney World is the only place I've been that I'd want everyone to visit XD

Thank you so much everyone who sent me virtual gifts! My profile is fabulous now X3 I feel very loved. ♥

Snow in my yard:



I think Holland's character design is boring :p

As people on Face Book know, I didn't go to Moku Con today. Not only was Mom worried about the weather (and rightfully so, it's snowing like whoa!) I had one of my headache episodes yesterday and felt so awful I couldn't get anything ready so I decided to just forget it. ;_; If the con wasn't 2 hours away, it would've been okay. I hate living way out here so much >< I don't have a single friend out here and there are no cons near by! ):

So Mom took me to see Fantastic Mr. Fox today. It was really good. I thought it would be a waste of time kids' movie, but it was actually really good. Everyone should see it.

And when I got home, I got my package from the gift exchange on the My Little Pony forum:

( Please don't make fun of me >: )

Edit:
Oh, I mailed some cards again today. I just wanted to say that I put sealing wax on them and it came out nicely. So I'm not responsible if the post office mangled it!
I'm trying to use what I have up so I can buy more at the next ren faire :3 lol
