So - OO is now over. Boy, am I glad that it is. Being on staff was a kicker for me, especially being head of the Masquerade and trying to get things all worked out to be finalized and run smoothly and all that jazz. But - I've got a week to recuperate and then it's off to Anime Festival Wichita! Yay! Robbie and I are headed down to see Ryan/Cloud, and to also take a photoshoot of Vash and Meryl at an old west cowtown that is not more than 7 minutes away from the con!. Hooray for being able to have epic photoshoots.
Anyway - laundry is done, I need noms, and I need sleep.
Later peoples!

Hello friends of Deviantart (and of me!) - I have some good news to bring you! That's right...there is a convention in Omaha, Nebraska! If you are curious to see what it is going to be like, visit [link] and see for yourself! The convention is scheduled to be July 3-5 at the Comfort Inn located at 72nd and Grover, just off the highway.
I must give you some insight as to what is going to occur there though....If you like my deviations of Epic Vash and myself, then sign on up for the Con! The two of us are going to be on Staff, and dressed as Vash and Meryl on Friday! You can meet us in person, or have your choice of glomping us or blinding us with cameras if you spot us in the hallways doing Staff stuffs!
Also, if you plan to be there on Saturday, you are in for a treat! If you like the Venture Brothers, Epic Vash and I plan to cosplay The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch for your Masquerade pleasures, since we might be MC'ing the entire Masquerade! Plus we'll just be dressed like that all day....so even if you don't get into the Masquerade, you'll probably see us walking around at some point, doing more staff stuffs!
Otaku Omaha also features the Cat-Girl Cafe, Karaoke and dance panels, other interesting panel stuffs, and of course, Chris Patton!

So, fellow cosplaying nerd and deviant - go visit [link] and see about joining in on the fun!

God - I am HORRIBLE at updated things.
Just plain awful at it.
But I blame the homework. And school. Being a 2nd semester Junior does NOT help of the amount of workload that I have to do, let alone the fact that I have a Double Major.
Gah.
But....spring break is coming up fast, and I PROMISE I will update. Really, I do.

But I have to hop off to lunch now....I've got class in about an hour....

Oh my goodness - I have seriously not updated this journal since....hmmmm....just about Christmas time.
God - I'm a slacker. Of course, not for school and such, but journals.
Even my LiveJournal gets neglected.

Well, anyway, there really isn't anything much to update about. The usual stuff is going on in my usual and boring life -- college, homework, fun with papers and deadlines, reading novels for classes, working on random costumes (most of them cosplay related), spending the weekends with my sweetheart -- that usual stuff.
See what I mean?
I'm not that interesting of a person.

Unless you give me S'Mores Poptarts and a bottle of Cherry Pepsi.

Then I become interesting.

And I just remembered that I have a paper to write tonight that's due tomorrow.

Whoops.


Maybe this time I'll update my journal more often......

So.....finals week is *literally* just around the corner....and then I am out of Nebraska for a good three weeks!

And I can finally work on stories and drawings...but mainly stories.
My professor told me that I was a fiction writer.
She was really, really impressed by a short story that I just whipped up in like, three weeks from a dream I had for her class.
She wants me to get it published.

Me??

Published???



I'm still trying to get my mind over the initial shock. If you guys want, I'll post the short story I did on here...it's called 'The Arctic Tomb'. There is one main character, Explorer A. Wander III, and two minor characters...Tech and Dogma Electronic.
I really need to draw some art of those three.
And if I post the story and you guys are impressed...I might post the character sketches as well.

In the meantime...as you can all see...I'm working on a new story called 'Diary of a Hidden Life'. This also was a dream of mine (as are most of the stories I come up with) I plan to be posting more teasers and such of the story as it slowly gets written...hopefully you guys will like it.

'Till the next journal update - which shall be in about a week or two!
