9:39 pm - effin' SOD's law
|
ok, so I guess I didn't uphold my promise doing the con report today. But I did upload pics on my computer, and the few pics I DID take were terrible.
I'll post them anyway later, I guess. after major post-processing.
Also another downer-- getting more over emotional than usual lately. PMS? AX sucking? New job? Not sure, but it sucks. Really really sucks.

Tired and somewhat disappointed. AX sucked this year in comparison to prior years (overall cosplay quality, masquerade [that Hayabusa Ryu got ROBBED]) but in terms of social developments, it was a plus. I met and hung out (though not enough, imo) with some cool people in the nicely spacious and AC'd convention~!
Also I'm being a total PMS-y bitch (which is very technically correct!). I'm significantly upset/depressed (lolol) that like srsly, only a handful of people recognized me (lollllllllllllllllll) and thus show no love for the series NOT BECAUSE I DID NOT GET MY FILL OF ATTENTION FOR THE YEAR YET NO NO NOT NO.
I'll make a real con report tomorrow with the few pics I took (and hopefully some I can glean from the internet).
Oh yeah. Also, I was standing on this concrete bench thing when all of a sudden a police officer calls out from behind me and says, "Ma'am, please step off of the bench."
;_________________; I was cosplaying as Kaiji.

11:06 pm - AX mini-update
|
Quick Day 1 update.
Was torn between going to the Seki Toshihiko panel or giving support to Kim's AX idol singing. I ended up asking my brother to be a proxy. He recorded the audio for me (<3 big brother) so I can listen to it later.
Today's AX had no love for Kaiji ;___; I was so sad. Only 4 people recognized me. :(
But at least the three were super excited seeing Kaiji. That was pretty cool. More details later, but I actually got a request for a hug....! I must say my crossplay was somewhat of a success with that, I guess.
Other changes:
Friday
Chane with one clean dagger, one bloody dagger? (I screwed up both but one pretty badly in particular in the last moment and have to cover the mistakes with *some*thing.)
seifuku!Tsuruya/Kyonko Maid!Tsuruya. Got too tired to have to finish the rest.
Also got some more props for Ema. I bought evidence bags and crime tape from crimescene.com. Saturday is going to be AWESOME.
Also probably not debuting Luke. :( No time, and I didn't fix the collar.
Damn, I'm a lazy ass.

Trapped in this terribly murky sandpit.
Sometimes I think that the things you put me through are because you enjoy seeing me trying to desperately crawl upwards for a fighting chance.
Self--you suck for putting your cosplays down to the last minute, even IF you were ahead of schedule at first.

3:09 pm - I am un-officially not a NEET anymore!
|
The HR lady at the Aerospace Corporation gave me the offer. I'm starting on July 7th [perfectly right after AX, though that means not much hanging out with people who visit ;____;], must work for at least 8 weeks, and LOLOL I'll be making more than my brother. But that aside...
I am a fucking AWKWARD duck.
She left a voicemail and I just gave her a call back. She seemed very...subdued and somewhat apathetic during the conversation (I think it's because I flaked out on her before. See, she's part of the boating team and at the time I was watching this drama about boating and really wanted to try. So I asked her about her practices saying I wanted to go. But it was in Long Beach. Which is like...impossible for me to get to by public transportation. So in the end, I didn't go. Even after her sending me multiple invitations for practices...).
Yeah, so the conversation was filled with so many silences. And me being the fluid linguist that I am, scrambled to fill the void with my stalling noises. I eventually OTL'd to the point where I said, "OK, so since this is my first time accepting a job offer, what should I do next?"
>____________________________> *headdesk*
I guess I should've prepared more for this conversation. Or maybe said, "OK, let me think about it, I'll call you back" instead of embarassing myself with the "Oh. So what should I do next?" and "Can I accept? I'd like to accept."
>____________________________> *headdesk*
Well, I guess at least that's one less thing for my parents to nag me about. Must go back to finishing cosplays. I hope the anxiety of having my first REAL job doesn't set in until after AX.

1:39 am - D: Dumpster Diving
|
To tell you the truth, I've always wanted to have the opportunity to dumpster dive. There's just something about the idea of finding treasures in someone else's trash that just makes me itch.
My brother and I joke around all the time about going during those periods of fast food game-piece contest things (but it's actually illegal to dive without consent, so we never seriously considered it :T).
( No longer a dumpster-diving virgin, and it wasn't exactly how I pictured it )
current mood: Pretty effin' tired.

 DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: THE FRUSTRATIONNNNNNN
( Another 'otome' game )
In other news, I finally finished TT and AJ of the Phoenix Wright series. Yeah, I actually didn't realize I had two I hadn't played yet.
( vague spoilers on both )

3:58 am - OH MAN, so many updates in one day
|
Good news and bad news.
So I just checked my e-mail, and my old co-worker (whom I've penned down as my reference) tells me a lady from HR at the Aerospace Corp called up to ask about me.
Oh shit, this is really going quicker than I expected. I really didn't think they'd make the call so soon-- the paperwork to make the job SHOULD be taking *weeks*, and I for one am really enjoying my month-long last hurrah.
I'm getting a bit scared, actually. I really. really. REALLY don't want to work until a week or two after AX. I am in no shape to go before or the week after. And I'm very afraid to set my start-date to be so late if they extend this job to me within the next few weeks.
I mean, I technically *can* start early... but then a few weeks later I ask for two consecutive days off? How would that reflect on my work ethic? And they're only hiring me as a temp!
Panic is setting in. I hope my plans will not be cut so short. Yay for possible job, but Nay for not being ready. at all.

So it's now about 367 days since I've graduated. Still unemployed, albeit not really looking as hard as I possibly can.
The Aero lady e-mailed me back saying she doesn't exactly have a position for me. She advised me to apply online, and that they'd get back to me.
I guess it's back to the shotgun approach*.
...and also stirring my frozen yogurt**. It's so good, but insanely expensive here (it's run by Asians, so they totally rip you off by purposely making an empty hole in the middle as they're dispensing the yogurt, those fuckers! I may just open a yelp.com account so they may FEEL THE FULL BRUNT OF MY RAGE, in an absolutely passive-aggressive catharsis sort of way).
*Shotgun approach in terms of sending my resume out to as many people as possible. I'd love to threaten people with a shotgun to give me a job, but I think that might not fare so well with personal relations.
[edit: **OH MY GOD, the frozen yogurt I made that is currently freezing up is so damned good. It's not exactly done yet (nor are the flakes of ice very small due to my not having an ice cream machine), but the taste of victory over those over-priced Asian stores IS SO SWEET *FANFARES*

10:12 pm - DAMMIT
|
Oh man Kim, you'll probably laugh your ass off-- I just found out I used yet another [sexual] slang wrong. D:
For goodness sake, more and more everyday-sounding slang have a sexual connotation, and I just am not up with the times.
Terms I regret slipping in normal, casual conversation in the past 5 years (not knowing they were sexual):
- threesome
- gangbang[-erz]
- double team
- (was there anything else, Kim?)
and now
- butt buddies
LOLOL dammit. DAMMIT. When will I learn XU
________________________________
Also, I really can't multi-task when it comes to talking. I tried finishing up one of my embroideries today while talking to a friend (thought I could get it done), and I found myself just going, "uh huh. ok. yeah. ah."
>_________>
on the same note, really-- why am I so inept at speaking? I feel like Page from Akihabara@DEEP [he's so bad at speaking, he uses his computer to do the talking].

Oh my GOD.
I've been stalking amazon.co.jp for the last few months for an Ice Blue DS and they finally have a few in stock.
When I'm about to buy it...they will not ship them out of Japan.....!!! My stalking..!! For nothing! I am an idiot! ;____;
( other possible solutions )
Also, this Friday is my US Citizenship interview, round 2. I still need to find my mom's naturalization certificate. Sometimes panic sets in during random times of the day. I really hope I find it soon.
Second also -- I may have spoke too soon about me still having the job. The lady never replied to my e-mail, and I'm left wondering if they still want me. D: STOP TOYING WITH MY EMOTIONS.
( current cosplay progress; no pics tho )

hm. After being angry for 5 minutes, I think I get it.
Me: *cutting up 2 Tb of butter to microwave to put in an icing of a 9x13 carrot cake*
Mom comes in.
Me: (Uh oh. I better hurry the hell up before she sees the bu--)
Mom (Mandarin): BUTTER. Again.
Me (English): *angry* LOOK, [as I said before,] there is NO butter in the cake. At all. This is for the frosting. If you don't want to eat it, don't put it on.
Mom (Mandarin): FINE, that's the last time I eat what you bake. I won't have anything to do with it.
My mom "rewards" my behavior by denying me her attention. No wonder I grew up to be an attention whore.
Well, now that I know, it's shame on me if I willingly continue to 'keep' this trait.
By the way, the carrot cake was fucking kick-ass (no, this reaction is not a result of my spat with my mother-- although I won't deny that I wouldn't have used a certain adjective if it didn't happen)
[edit: also, I spontaneously made this icon for this occasion. You'll get some awesome carrot cake if you recognize the art*!]

2:08 am - etc; final fantasy jobs
|
Y'know when you're in need of sleep when you misread headers of advice articles and think, "What the hell is 'Ho[e]-spice'?"
_____________________________________________
I've always thought that if I were to choose a Final Fantasy job for myself, I'd be a Red Mage or Dragoon (God, Dragoons are hot. And yeah, none of that White Mage, you sexist pig).
But now, considering my personality, I think I'd be more suited as a Mime D:
As a bonus thought on this no-stop express train...for the 6 people on my flist that would give a hoot about this-- I really wonder what you'd pick for yourself.
I counted one fighter/paladin [although I think dark knight would be more apt], two black mages [scholars don't count], one summoner, one chemist, one dancer gambler/sorcerer. And I wonder how off I am, haha.
Potential Interview Question:
Which Final Fantasy job class would you choose? Give me your answer and your reasons behind your choice.

4:22 am - normality
|
I don't know, there're just some days (out of weeks of isolation) when I especially feel the stab of loneliness. As if my internal dam breaks, and all I want is have some simple human interaction.
Today (perhaps spurned by just finishing yet another sappy romantic j drama), I've replied to (nearly) every e-mail and (nearly) every LJ comment and entry I needed to reply to.
But I don't know. Is it normal to want to be alone for the most part, except for a day out of every month or two?
( short concentrated rambling )
_______________________________________________
Maybe some good news though. I'm at the end of the line.
The lady who interviewed me for an SAP position at The Aerospace Corporation just e-mailed me to ask how I was doing. I'm pretty happy she remembers me (interview was unknowingly scheduled on my birthday in 2006).
But this means that's it. No more running away. At least in terms of my job.
( run run run disjointed )
