Just so I remember where I am.. because I lose track. A lot.

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were 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 the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-word answers seldom help anyone out.

Sooo.. whenever I browse the VAA today, my virus scan keeps alerting me about phishing sites from the ads on the board and suggests that I don't load them. I was just on it last night and this wasn't happening, so wtf @_@

Flight to New York hath been booked :D For a pretty awesome price too~ Good thing I had to wait a bit before I booked it 8D

So as long as mom doesn't decide to change her mind about giving me $100 for the plane ticket.. I'll only have spent $46 on airfare~

I guess if anyone wants to meet up.. or something, it was suggested that I have a designated day where I can gather with people since I'm sure Lucien plans on monopolizing my time >D;


But yay! 25 days :D

I made dinner tonight! Chicken fettuccine alfredo. I guess it was edible ;-;..


Oh man. So I convinced mom to give me $100 to help me pay for my flight to New York as an early Christmas present. My present was originally supposed to be around $150 like I had mentioned before.. but hey, I'll take what I can get.

But now mom is making plans to possibly go up to New York that weekend (18th-20th) with my aunt and stay at a hotel since mom really wants to see the seasonal lights in New York City. She asked me if my 'friend' would be willing to tell them what else the should see and where it's safe to go and what not.


It's not certain if they're going or not since my aunt is out of a job now that she's moved back to Chicago.. but oi.. x_x;

Well.

He was supposed to be sleeping, but he woke up and came online. So I told him earlier than I had planned.

He's excited. I'm excited. But I'm also a bit nervous, admittedly. But I want to see him so badly, so fuck you nervousness D:



So yeah. I'm going to be in New York for a week next month. Haven't decided when exactly.

I need some extra cash for college/flying out to visit the boyfriend/moar cosplay so I'm looking to get rid of some stuff I don't plan on using anymore.

sdflkhsdkhf LOL WHAT IS SQUALO WEARING.

And wtf. Are they drinking big ass diamonds dipped in booze? What is thiiiis?

Today was probably the most fun I've had in a class in a long while.

For my Digital Sound class, we went into DePaul's sound studio. It was the first time I had ever been in there, so I was pretty amazed. It's not like.. one of those huge sound studios you see on TV or anything, but it's still pretty neat.

Most of the class was spent doing foley work for a scene from the movie "Big". I mostly sat back and watched while other people hesitantly volunteered to try their hand at foley artistry... and even just watching it all was pretty cool.

I finally volunteered when ADR came up, haha. Mike was asking if any of the guys had a higher pitched voice so they could record the dialog for the younger version of Tom Hanks' character in the movie.. but no one was volunteering, so I asked if I could do it and there were no objections 8D

I've seen the ADR system used sooo many times but this was the first time I had ever actually experienced it while recording, so it was really weird. It didn't take me long to get used to it.. I was just really nervous having to do voice over work with a class of 10 people watching me through a glass window XD So I did 4 short lines for that. Really only one take for each since I was doing good with syncing.. not that there was much syncing to do after the first line, haha. One of the lines was grunting, which the class was apparently impressed with after I did that. Derp derp. Hearing myself afterward was.. interesting lol. I was really nervous at first so my acting sucked, but I got more into it after the grunting.

Mike was willing to let me finish out the ADR recording for the scene, but one of the guys in the class wanted to give it a try ;A; So he recorded the last few lines.. and it was really amusing. Everyone laughed after every playback because of how deep the guy's voice was in comparison to how the kid looked. And we all joked about how the kid was going through puberty every 5 seconds. It was pretty awesome. I wish I had the finished product to show off, haha.

I really want to take Advanced Sound Design noooow. But it's not a requirement for my major and I have no room for electives since I finished all of those while I was in community college ):

Oh my god that was so fun. I want to do it again ;-;

So I have to get to the Lincoln Park Campus at noon tomorrow so I can re-acquire a file from my professor that I need for my Digital Sound project that's due on monday.


...it takes an hour to get to the LPC by bus/train orz And this is probably only going to take like 10 minutes... I guess I can stay there and just work on the project for a few hours so the trip down there doesn't feel totally pointless for the 2 hours I'll have spent on public transportation getting there and back, but gaaaaaaaaaaah.

Saturday is supposed to be my relaxing day. I don't want to do anything until I get dragged out by my friends for Halloween related stuff ):

And I didn't have a costume planned to wear, but I think I'm just going to sew my Izanagi stuff back together and just wear that. Though my vision is going to suck while wearing that mask 8D

Ohay.


Does anyone have an .avi file of The Ranma 1/2 Christmas OVA on hand? :E

Well fffffffffff-- I might be in a Hetalia skit for ACen.. I guess that's pretty exciting. I've actually been wanting to be in a skit, but never really had cosplay friends to do one with.

NOT THAT I ACTUALLY KNOW THE PEOPLE DOING THE SKIT I MIGHT BE IN. LOLZ.

So, The girl who is heading the idea sent me a script she wrote out and said I was free to edit it... SO I DID. And I included a Kanye West reference because I'm just THAT boss. AND I used my awesome Environmental Science knowledge and referred to the Kyoto Protocol and how America was such a FAGGOT about it.

I offered to do the audio mix for the skit too, so I'm going to need to audition voices :] Italy, Germany, England (though crossdressing England, so might get a girl to do this.. or me because I'm a jerk), America/Canada, China, and Russia are the only characters in it. I'm not sure if this is going to change or not.




Wheeeeee D:

Okay yeah. Took some allergy medicine and now I'm feeling a substantial amount better. Though I missed heading out for Hetalia Day because of how crappy I was feeling earlier. Baaaaaw. I meant to wake up at 9:30am, but didn't get out of bed until 12pm because I just wanted to stay in bed forever D:


BUT ANYWAY. I made another character in Tinierme. Lolz.



Guess who's been watching more Macross F? XD

Aaaand here is Marchy-kins.




I love my Selfies. So cute *A* Their rooms are very bland and boring still lol.

Today was a bit odd.

Had a customer pick up an order and tell me I'm the friendliest on the phone out of all the girls who take phone orders. And apparently he likes our pizza so much he comes from Schaumburg to Berwyn to come get it.. r_r

Also had to call a cab for one of the regular drunks at the bar. He started conversing with me as he was waiting for the cab. He's a Township trustee of Berwyn and gave me his card, telling me that I could e-mail him next school year about getting a $500 scholarship. No application. No contest. He'd just.. give it to me. But again, he was drunk, so I don't want to e-mail him later and be like "HEY. REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME YOU OFFERED ME SOME MONEY..?"


And of course I've been sick for like a month already. Told mom what was ailing me and she thinks it might be seasonal allergies. Great.

Waaah. Thanks for all the comments on my last entry, guys .-.



I just joined that Tinierme site.... holy crap, it's so cute.

My avatar's name is 'March' :B

Jessica: Where's your mom?
Me: She should be coming back from a wake right now.
Jessica: Oh yikes. A serious one?
Me: ...are there any other kind?



Hah. My family.

You know, usually when I'm doing something pointless for hours upon hours people won't bother me, but the minute I try to take a fricken' nap it's "Erica. do this! Erica, do that!"

CHRIST. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A NAP. LEAVE ME ALONE.


Oh, did I also mention that apparently when I decided I want to nap, there MUST be something wrong with me according to my parents? EFF OFF. I JUST WANT SOME MORE SLEEP BECAUSE I'M NOT FEELING WELL AND/OR I'M JUST TIRED.

My paid account expired a few days ago and now I can't edit post and my icons are gone and and and..

;A;

Don't know if I should enter an old old oooold Chidori picture or a slightly newer Izanagi picture for the Atlus-o-weenie contest. Neither costumes are particularly accurate, nor are the pictures great Though better than some of those already entered, hurr hurr

( Opinions? )

Not that I plan on winning either way. But I don't have anything to lose by entering.. except for possible ridicule on /cgl/, I suppose.

*SHRUG*


In other news.. Youtube is going through maintenance, but watch this when you get the chance? It's cute. I swear.
