So I went to shave the lines *out* of my head today. 1/8" hair. I missed a spot, and went back to shave it with my buzzer. I noticed a lot more hair than usual in the sink. I had forgotten to put the length attachment back on! LOL. So now I'm really, REALLY bald. Jack from Mass Effect 2. Uh, check it out!

8.13.10 - 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
NOT QUITE DEAD YET. I always vowed to not be one of those people who never updates. Well, life and jobs happen. Actually... mostly Animal Crossing happens. Every time I tell myself to update my site and get stressed about it, I reach for the ole Wii nunchuck and transport to the happy, carefree world of shaking fruit trees and catching sea bass. Now my site is so outdated, and my picture folder is constipated and waiting to unleash loads of pictures upon you. YUM! So while my site is backed up, both in the literal and figurative sense, know that my Animal Crossing town is beautious and bedecked with flower fields, lighthouses, and magical fountains. Thanks for all of the emails over the past months, even though I haven't read them yet. ;;;;>_> I have so much to update and catch up on that it's become overwhelming, but you know... baby steps. Speaking of babies, I'M BALD!

Some long overdue Asuka pictures from earlier this year, yay. I just got back from a 3 week trip to Europe - hello to all my new friends from Italy, Spain, and Germany! Too bad I don't keep a blog to tell everyone about it. I AM SO MYSTERIOUS. ...no, just lazy. Look for a new plugsuit tutorial in the next few days!

Summer school like woah! And lots of traveling! I got back from Tokyo a few weeks ago and finally have a minute to catch my breath. I was a guest on a Japanese cosplay show called CosCosPurePure along with Ginny from ginnymcqueen.com. Japan was everything I've ever imagined and more. But now for something non sequitur: German catboys. |

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. I made a dress out of meat to remind me of my own mortality.... wait, no. Because I had an Aqua Teen Hunger Force-themed party and I dressed up as Meatwad. My parents always said I was "special". |
