antic-cafe

HIIIII!!! Omg! its been sooooooooo long! My last journal was in Oct. '11!!! *facepalm* thats sad. And REALLY bad on my part! Gomen nasai! Lots has gone on and Ive been on dA but more so of a lurker....>.> I appologize to those who watch me! I WILL have some new stuff up soon! Just need to take pics and upload! Mostly of cosplay work! And possibly some other crafty things. So keep a lookout

I'm only able to be on for a limited amount of time atm, so I cant post a proper journal; since there is so much I want to talk about and update you guys on! Ive been gone for so long SO much has happend! The good, The Bad, and The Ugly. lol jk Its all good for the most part! Basically starting a new chapter..erm, whole new novel more like it, in my life. So many great things have happend! Im excited to share it all with you! Along with an ACen PostCon report! And MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!

Hopefully later on today, I will finish/actually write a journal as well as upload pics. If the weather permits me to that is. =_=* started raining cats and dogs out of the blue! And the lighting in my apt SUCKS! Seriously, ask ANYONE WHOS BEEN HERE! Its the worst! UGh! I try and use natural light but that might not be an option today. If so, Ill take pics and then redo them later when weather permits it!

Well just letting you all know Im NOT DEAD! Im here! And will be back soon to update more!

Love love!

OK. Ive been putting this off far too long to update my journal. I meant to about a month ago, and so much has happend then. However, even tho I am in the mood for it now, I haz ta work. (seriously, its ALWAYS like that! when ever I get motivation and really want to do something, I cant cuz i have to work! UGH!) Anyways, I plan on fully updating this when I get home.

Itll prolly be a TWO-PART journal, since what I was going to write awhile back, well...happend awhile back! And new things have happend since (obviously!) lol

I also plan on doing a poll here for the cons I will be attending. I only am sure of one, "maybe" two. But due to financial shit hitting the fan, my plans of going to all out of state cons this year (2012) have kinda been messed up and I need help deciding which ones to go to. Concidering I can go, ect ect.

I will also post yet ANOTHER journal (yay! spam! w00t! lol jk) of my current cosplay list, as MUCH has changed! Oh lord. I think all of it did...for the mort part. As well as retiring some cosplays, cuz they not longer fit due to me loosing weight. But yeah. Ill get to that later today! So...STAY TUNED!!

LOVE LOVE!


EDIT Ok. forgot a couple other things. Just need to remind myself otherwise Ill get distracted and not remeber/do it. I will also today, if not all then tomorrow too, get to responding and commenting. and faving a bunch of stuff in my msgs! Ive seen them just havent had time to comment on everything and all. But saved them so I will do it! So yeah! Thats about it until later on today! See ya!

And THE BIG QUESTION: How long will it take for me to update again? Hmm..Lets make a wager here! Anyone wanna bet!?!? Any takers out there!!?!? Dont know what...itd be winning....   *shrugs, crouches down, and quietly ninjas to exit* heheh....yeaaaah. BUT! I am serious about the bet! I think itll be fun! *has no life*

Anyways! Onward with where ever I was getting to with...this....? OH! Yeah! Right! So Ive been hella buisy lately! oh.my.god. Too much crap in my life! Works...going "ok". Getting overworked a lil and stressed/anxious about my hours cuz they are hiring new petcare ppl since our lead and another left. But Im basically, for the most part, fully supporting myself! *dies* Holy shit. I had NO idea how hard it was going to be. Totally bitchslapped me in the face! Was not ready for that! yeah. Got a BIG reality check! So trying to get more hrs to pay/afford everything. But been difficult doing so. They SUCK at scheduling. Period. And cuz I cant work all day every day because that kills me. Literally! I was sick last week from work. Well....at least thats my guess. Went to Drs and didnt know what it was even with lab work. Just said it was some viral thing that I had to wait out! (work wasnt happy about that, so the scheduling is gonna be hard) and also, CUZ I NEED A FREAKING LIFE! Im so pathetic right now. I work, come home, and crash. Thats it. But in the past few weeks its been getting much better!

I thankfully have been able to see quite a few of my friend quite recently! And be able to go to some events! I had Frayu-Typo sleep over about *looks at calendar* prolly a month ago? But it was epic! I missed my Mommy Abel!!! And she happend to accidentily leave her makeup bag at my place, so I was able to see her again last Thursday before she goes back to school! I was SO happy!

Also had :dev4-ever-garaas: over for THREE WHOLE DAYS!!! *legasp* I seriously havent seen her since oh god,...New Years I think!! It was SO AWSOME to see her again! it felt like ages! And I got to see her again yesterday!! At the Oban Festival at Como zoo! That made my day!

Also been able to go to some more events and such. Big one was yesterday, the Oban Festival. I havent gone the past few years even tho I've been here! I made sure I had it off! Had a realllllllly hard time finding a ride! I hate the bus system in EP! Sucks ass! But lukily did! And was also able to sleep over at Heathers!!! First time too! We've been planning on it for awhile! But I was a dud and fell asleep super early. But the fest was AMAZING! Right away went and bought a brand new yukata and obi! Reaaallly pretty! and omg sooo comfy!! Wore Heathers geta's because she has large feet, and fit me perfectly. They were omg comfortable! I could walk just fine! My feet dont hurt AT ALL! Loved them! Going to get my own pair when I buy a better yukata/kimono online eventually. Had a total blast hanging out with Scott all day! lol oh wow. The shenanigans! So. MANY. hehe! Hes awsome! Housewife is teh best! carried my bag the whole day! Thougt it was uber heavy yet its like nothing to me. *shurg* Hell I use it as my grocery bag! and walk home! XD Went and got some super yummy Boba tea and melon bread and anpan! Tho..the melon bread...was anpan. Idk! Still good! Nice just sitting in the shade. It was the nicest outside! Not hot, humid, buggy or anything! Perfect weather! I ACUTALY ENJOYED BEING OUTDOORS! Yes, I know. Its scary! We then walked around for a bit. Nothing too good. But we went and grabbed a spot as close to we could to the stage to watch Mu Daiko since we missed the actual Taiko earlier. Nou found us, and hung with us till we left. Waited FOREVER! Ended up starting like over an hr late! We tryed to go into the conservetory, but just as we walked in, it was closing! yet, later, still saw ppl going in! Then waited in line to go see the Japanese pond with the Lanturns. Beautiful! Absolutely breath taking! Scott took some pics of it with my camera! Might upload them! The Frog pond wasnt as good. Not nearly as sentimental and traditional as the Japanese pond. It was more intimate and had a nice feeling to it. Then soon after we left. I had a great day! But was dead tired!

Wished I had done a lil more. Like we plan next time to actually go to the conservatory! And also buy more stuff! lol had a planned to but got distracted. I bought the yukata, but it took sooo long cuz no one helped me! Kinda pissed me off. I had been waiting and yet they were helping others. I wanted to get a parasol that wasnt paper! But the actual silk kind. AND DEFINATELY PLAY GAMES!!!!!! I want one of the balooons! lol But it was sad cuz I didnt really see anyone else there. Yet, the other ppl in our party who split off saw everyone! PPl went and I didnt even know! So many friends went! I was sad I didnt get to see them! I saw a few for a brief moment but everyone was busy. I only found out till today from FB! XD

Well, got home from Heathers around noon. Was going to sleep more, but ended up not. Just kinda relaxing and such. Needed to do stuff on teh interwebs. Which...im still doing....hehe!

Ive had so much going on. Still attempting to organize,decorate ect ect my appartment! Its just doesnt want to be tidy! I deep clean it like EVERY day! Going to just take a long while I guess....D: but its slowly coming along. Cosplays are kinda at a stand still atm. I just...AUGH! Cant seem to find time, when I do, Im not up to it, and when I want to I cant! So frustrating! But I have a few secret cosplays planned! Ones "technically" been debuted already, but its not finished. The other I plan on working on tonight! *crossesfingers* Im going to finish those two, then Rhyme! Almost done! Then start/finish the cosplays I had planned this year and didnt get to like Ryo-Ohki, and Definately STOCKING! Then my Presea Combatir cosplay I started back in 2008 but never finished cuz I moved and got stuck in storage in FL! Also planning a couple others but not quite sure. My list has changed tremendously!

So have the cons Im going to next year. Im no longer going to AD. Or anything small around here. Going to ACen again for sure! Havent decided what else, cuz dates keep changing. Im hoping to do AKon for sure, then Also REALLY hoping Afest, Otakon, Anime Boston, and some in FL which I have yet to decide as well. Thinking Megacon and AFO, but they might conflict with others and/or be to close. Seeing as I have to fly to all of them but ACen.

Well thats all for now. Gotta go do other stuffs! We shall see how long it takes for me to update again!

Love love!

WOW. like, HOLY FUCK! I had one of the most bazzare dreams ever! (ok I had two actually but not going into the other one, too...unsettling even for me, and I dream mindfucks all the time!)

So, I kinda got a kick out of it, as well as my Dream Self! Even she didnt belive it! So thought Id share how hilariously deranged messed up mindfuckery I have! XD

I was just kinda having a talk with some family member? I think, dont remember, but we seemed to be close and familiar. They (cant remember gender, not important) then told me that my cousin, who Im not close to at all, dont talk to or see rarely in actual real life (so dont know why he got in my dream!) But He ended up working for "Cosplay Idols of the World" Huge Corporation. It was like an exclusive elite society that was meant only for the higher, elite class of cosplayers which was SUPER HARD to get into, let along even recognized. This was the U.S embassy for it. Theres one in every country..aparently...cuz it WORLD COSPLAYERS!
its full of the BEST cosplayers known, who teach you many different techniques and help you hon your skills and school you in the best way possible (to those who deserve and qualify) to be the best cosplayer you can be! They also hold sessions/labs/lectures ect about how to know what your "specific" role is. Like who you are best at to cosplay. How to stay in character. And they even teach you to know about contests and events so you are prepared for the world and can win at some of the elite competitions, which will give you more recognition, a higher rank (yes, there are RANKS! dont ask...)  Its location is like SUPER SECRET! Its basically like its own little world in some unknown part of the US...kinda like Area 51. You are boarded there and treated like royalty.  Living in SUPER FANCY gorgeous EXPENSIVE houses, given access to basically ANY MATIERAL you could imagine to use! There are servants, and you have personal assistants and everything! The food is specially made just for you ect.  

Idk! Any ways, I was like "oh. my. god!! I can finally fulfil my dream! Get noticed! He'll be able to get me in for sure!!! *totally freaks out*" Cuz apparently he was at like the top of the tippy top of the corp. Like really close to the CEO of it, (it being the U.S. Cosplay idols of the world corp) And could get me in! I TOTALLY SPAZZED! *flails like no other*

Then they were talking and said that TOM CRUZ, was even there. The one who ran it ALL! But no one knew, it was beyond secret. Very "hush hush". My Dreamself didnt even believe it!! Took me awhile to realize it. Just couldnt think WHY THE HELL HE'D BE IN THE ELIETE COSPLAY WORLD CORP!! AND! BE THE OWNER/CREATOR OF IT! *competely disturbed in everyway possible* Boggled my mind! But then I was told, I ALREADY QUALIFIED! And didnt have to do any of the prerequisits!  

Then, unknown to me, I went in a room to talk about like this important meeting or what not. (this was where I found out I already qulified and could start right away. ) I had no idea where we were. We just ended up in this remote exotic place that had like this palace and we entered this huge meeting hall at the very top, with a glass ceiling. And guess who was there!?!? TOM CRUZ!!!! Just sitting at the end of the loooong table! And ...He was in COSPLAY! *looses sanity*    Of some sort. One that doesnt really exist.  My dreamself thought he just put it together randomly. It was creepy as all hell tho!  I have to say I kinda died inside.....It makes no sense what so ever!

Then. THE DREAM ENDED! ...and went to this otherone that Im going to try and forget.

Yup. That was my dream. Ive had much worse where it makes no sense what so ever, nothing is logical, completely insane, dont know what the hell is going on, creepy and disturbing beyond words, so mind fucked its the eptiamy of MINDFUCKERY!!! lol but yeah! Thought you might enjoy my insanity! Or...is it insanity?? Is it real? Or is it just my subconscious that "THINKS"  its insane? Or maybe its just making me more insane than I already am?   *sweat drop* hehe!!!


P.S.~ OH! Duh! *headdesk* Im working on some cosplays and drawings. A lot has been going on, but I thought Id update this first! Later Ill do another one! Now that Im getting time to do so! :3

WOW. LIKE OMFG DALDKFJALDKJFAKSF!!!! *spazzes,flails, has nosebleed and dies* I..I...I cant tell you how fucking amazing it was!!!!! Im still in shock!!! Ok. here we gooooooooooooo whoooooo!:

THURSDAY: Got a txt from Tony literally 2 minutes before my alarm! Said he'd pick others up then me so around 3AM. I got ready asap! Uber tired tho, they came and got me and off we went! For a 8+ hr car ride, it was pretty fun! Finally made it to Rosemont,IL! Checked in, put our bags away, and then went to Mitsuwa's Japanese Market!!! (we were waaay early! just so we could go!) OMG! That place is EPIC!! I didnt want to leave!!! The food there is...omg....*drools* The best EVER! Very authentic!!! I got mango,lychee,and banana icecream! Which was the best ever! It was all natural! sooooo goood!! Then ended up having some of my friend's Miso Ramen. He literally started crying cuz it was sooo goood! It was adorible! And omg, was it good! soooo yummy!!!! OH! but before we ate, they had a bookstore where I immediately went to cuz they had import magazines Ive been dying for!!! Heather followed and I showed her what to get and what was good. I ended up spending $160 JUST THERE! Got Shoxx, Cure, Animedia, Hobby Japan, and Cosmode magazines with awsome furoku! ALSO, found a Ao no Exorcist OST for uber cheap! Grabbed that right away! As well as an Ayabie CD!! I made out soooo well there!! PLUS I GOT ANPANMAN BREAD!!!!  Then headed back to get in line to get my badge early. Buuuut that was hell. >.< They didnt have badges printed, the scheduale was printed but some times were missing! and omg so many other ridiculous things! I went there to mainly see Yoshiki and h.Naoto, but the autograph sessions werent set up! NO ONE KNEW! I literally asked about 20 ppl!! Including the IRT who asked the Head of ACen and still didnt know! So anyways! By the time I got my badge, it was midnight. so headed back and went to sleep instead of seeing Pirates 4.

FRIDAY: Woke up around 8-ish or so and just got dressed in regular clothes. didnt have any cosplays cuz of other stuff happening yet again! So I was worried about not being in cosplay! I wanted to pick out accessories and stuff but took to long! Heather ended up leaving with out me! lol Headed STRAIGHT for the dealers room! It was pretty good! I have to say, Ive seee MUCH larger tho! but still loved the fact that it was a big con and what Im use to and love! Walked around for a bit then tried to find more info on autographs. No luck. Even the guy at the X-Japan booth didnt know! I thought that was quite sad. But then....I WENT TO h.NAOTO'S BOOTH!!!! OMFG!!! I..I...I was soooo happy! Just to be there!!!! To actually touch the clothes in person! To actually be able to see it! I was shaking! I was in love! But it got even better! h.NAOTO HIMSELF (who is VERY shy and like never does this) CAME UP TO ME AND PICKED OUT A DRESS!!!! IT WAS SUCH AN HONOR! NOT ONLY THAT! BUT HE FUCKING DRESSED ME AND FITTED IT FOR ME! THEN SAID i LOOKED WONDERFUL IN IT!!!! I...oh. my. god. I was dying from happiness! My innerfangirl was just screamming with delight! I ended up buying it!!!! it was over $300 (not telling price!). THEN  I GOT SPECIAL TREATMENT!!! HE GAVE ME A DISCOUNT, AND LET ME WRITE A CHECK! (which they usually dont do, but made an exception for just ME!!!) So you could get a pic with him or a member of Sixh. and I choose him, since he owns it all (Sixh. is IBI and Mint who design Hangry and Angry, but its a line under h.Naoto, so everything has to pass by him!) But I wanted to change into my new dress for the pic! (OK SIDE STORY!: when I was looking around, I turned, and saw my old friend Shane! She was a Senior when I was a freshman at my magnet artschool and she ran the animeclub, and took me under her wings! she's always volunteered for JROck house, but now works! I was like "omg! Shane!?!?!" she stares back "omg. ALLI!?!?" and then we both said at the same time. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?!" lol it was awsome!! Havent seen her in like 6 years!!) any ways! she said I could come back to get it. So I went to  go change. But by the time I was done, IT WAS TIME FOR H.NAOTO'S Q&A PANEL!!! So I know I had to go line up fast! for the guests, especially international, you need to be there like 2 or more hrs before hand! I was first in line! When the doors opened up, I went straight to the front row! I didnt sit directly infront of where Naoto would sit, but 2 down. The wierd thing is! I was like one of 5 ppl in the front row! Anyways, he comes out, and sees me and smiles!!!! *squeeee* omg! Then he started off but had a translator. He said "I see many cute girls in the room. Especially in the front row!" AND HE LOOKED AT MEEEE!!! OMG!!!!! I died! Then! The WHOLE TIME in the Q&A, HE LOOKED AT ME! I was like OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! For one of the questions a girl asked why he got into designing, and he said because his favorite tv actor was dressed cool. So I then asked who it was specifically, He said Nishi Yamato. I know of him! So I said oh yeah! I know him! and Naoto's eyes went wide and he was sooo happy and was like "really!?!?!? YOU KNOW HIIM!?!?!" HE WAS SOOO HAPPY!! Then I asked what his favorite line of all his collections were and it ended up being mine too! didnt have a chance to tell him tho. But the ENTIRE time, he looked at ME! I..I cannot believe it!!!! Then it was over, but the dealers room was closed so I had to wait till saturday to get a pic. but I was just fangirling LIKE NO OTHER!! I FELT EUPHORIC!! Then went back and just kinda hung out at hotel.

SATURDAY: OMG! ONE OF THE BEST DAAAYS!!!!!! Yoshiki's panel was that day. So I first went to dealers room, got a couple things. then went to wait in line 4 hrs in advance! I KNEW it would be a long line! Me and some other girls where there first. but the Micheal tantum panel was still going on so we just waited outside the door, ready to go in! everything was fine, till the damn IRTs said we needed to move agains the wall. so ok we did. Then we noticed they had set up a LINE. to wait in! and ppl were already in it! so we paniced and got in line. But then realized, we didnt have to get in line! cuz that was just for ppl who where not early. they had a white line set up that you couldnt pass. AND WE WERE ALREADY INSIDE! SO NO NEED TO MOVE! Yet we made a mistake on that one....the IRTs were assholes. So then it finally opens up! and we rush in there! the front row was blocked off! For press! so we took second row! BUT I WAS PISSED WHEN NO PRESS SHOWED UP AND PPL WHO WERE LATE GOT TO FUCKING SIT IN THE FRONT ROW! I was soo mad! Me and my friends were bitching about it! and letting the ppl in the front row know we WERE NOT HAPPY!! Then he came and the panel started! I got some awsome video! But sadly my camera died!!!! DX lol hes sooo funny!!! It was amazing to just be in the same room as him! So the autograph session (i had checked earlier, and it said a time, but was RIGHT after the panel, which was insane! and then supposedly canceled!) but they announced that 15min after the panel, he'd be in the dealers room for the autographs! SO! I GRABBED MY FRIENDS AND WE BURNED RUBBER!!! I had looong in advance found out where the special signings would be! SO WE GOT THERE IN LIKE LESS THAN 2 MIN!! but the thing was, the ppl already in the dealer room, kinda just heard and started lining up! I was like "OH HELLZ NO!" SO I CUT IN LINE! I DIDNT FUCKING CARE! Id been waiting since fucking THURSDAY to know about this! so yeah i could care less! My friends and I made it in there!!! And best part was!! they only took a limited number of ppl! WE WERE STILL UP FRONT!!! and many behind us, then they closed it off!! I was soooo happy!!! So I had bought a Yoshikitty Cure magazine for him to sign. WEll, l couldnt believe this! A Japanese interviewer who worked for Yoshiki, ENDED UP INTERVIEWING ME AND MY FRIEND!!!! *DIES* We were selected out of a good amount of ppl! So that was fucking amazing!!!! We couldnt hug or shake hands with him (hes just too epic for that! lol) but could get a pic of JUST him, and his signature. So we went up and got ours! I thanked him in Japanese and he said you are very welcome! *SQUEEEEE* ok. so that was the part with Yoshiki. Then my friend and I went over to the h.Naoto booth to get a picture! well Naoto saw me and came right over!!! Then my friend Shane took a pic! HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND ME!!!!!!!!!!!! *FAINTS* THEN WROTE A LITTLE NOTE IN A LIL CARD! HE SAID IT WAS A PLEASURE MEETING ME AND HE HOPES AND LOOKS FORWARD TO SEEING ME NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! KYYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! OMG!!! Then, he just started talking to me! He said my dress I bought WAS ONE OF A KIND AND MADE BY HIM!!!!!! AND THAT I WAS PERFECT FOR IT!!! I was speachless! I told him he was my favorite designer and I really appreciated and loved all of his work! And that It was such an honor to meet him! He gave the cutest big smile ever!!!! And bowed and thanked me saying it meant alot!!!!!! He had to go do something but i stayed and looked around. I wanted a bag. BUT COULD NOT DECIDE! LOL HE CAME OVER TO ME AGAIN!!! HE ASKED WHAT i LIKED AND THATS WHEN I SAID MY FAVORITE WAS h.Anarchy the same as his!!! HE WAS SOOO HAPPY!!!! HE THEN SHOWED ME A REAAAALLLY NICE BACKPACK! AND RECOOMMENDED IT FOR ME! SAYING IT WAS HIS FAVORITE AND ID LOVE IT! AND OMG I DOOOO!!!! Then I looked around some more. They had Hangry&Angry LTD. EDITION plushes for sale! They are very rare!!! and usually cost $300+!! But for the con, you could it and the clothes for $50!! specail for the con! There were sooo many!!!!! I couldnt choooose!!!!!!!! I was talking to one lady who was his translator, HE CAME UP AGAIN!!!!! she told him I couldnt decide. HE PICKED ONE SPECIALLY FOR ME!!! SAYING IT WAS IN THE STYLE OF H.ANARCHY AND IT WAS CUTE LIKE ME!!!!! HE PERSONALLY PICKED OUT EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! So I ended up getting those too!!! Before I left, He GAVE ME ANOTHER HUG!!!!!!!!! I was shaking, and ended up crying after my friend and I found a place to rest!!! OMFG! BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN!!! h.Naoto NEVER DOES ANY OF THAT! PICKING OUT THINGS FOR PPL! DRESSING THEM!!! DISCOUNTS!!! SPECIAL ATTENTION!!! OMG!!! I FELT LIKE A KID IN CANDYLAND!!!! Then I hung out with my friend and her cousin for a bit talking about Jrock and Japanese fashion. Then went back to hotel room. We ended up ordering...I forget the size exactly, but it was one BIG ASS PIZZA!! IT BARELY FIT THRU THE DOOR!!! omg!! but it was soooo yummmy!!!!!!!!! Then, exaughted from the EPICNESS, I went to sleep.

(im just gonna sum up Sunday)

SUNDAY: Got up super early, took a shower and packed. Checked out by 9am. they had a wierd thing going on idk. packed up the car, and then we kinda split up. Heather and I went to dealers room. SUNDAY GOOD DEALS!! I went right away to a booth I saw on Friday that had out of print rare items. I had hidden a Galaxy Angel artbook. IT WAS STILL THERE!! so I got a ton of rare/out of print things!! Heather was curious about it as well and I showed her what to look for and tell. We got that, and looked around more. She and I were soooo increadibly tired! My legs felt like theyd give out any second! somehow got separated. Bought a few more things. Got a txt frm Heather saying she needed help cuz she wasnt in the best shape so I went and sat with her. We were all so DEAD! Heather was about to pass out! Some of the guys found us and joined us on the cold floor. We were waiting for Tony to get done with a signing. but took forever!! finally got up and went to sit somewhere else. At this point, Heather and I were beyond loopy! We were soo tired! Scott was on the verge as well!!! FINALLY Tony came and we just left! lol I had a wallscroll that I used to hurry him up and herd others to move faster! got to van, heather had to go change. At this point I couldnt feel my legs and was about to pass out so layed down in van. Got back and we took off for Mitsuwas again! Had to have more yummy ness!! But heather and I were soooo incredibly fatigued, dehydrated ect that we could eat it!!!! We didnt want to dishonor the food, so she called Scott over and the boys finished it off. I felt bad tho cuz he ate too much and wasnt feeling well! But then got some Boba Tea, and lots of pastries!!!! yummy!!! Doreamon bread! Totoro Bread! wooooh! then took off. At this point, Heather was dead in the back, and Scott and I had completely lost it! The other two driving, were awake and silent! insanity insured! It was sooo fun! prolly best car ride ever!!! I ended up laughing so much I lost some of my voice...but none like Heather who couldnt talk at all....and still cant. finally got back! it was a longer drive due to bad wheather (thank god we missed the tornados!!!) but I was dropped off first, and Scott and Tony so kindly escorted and carryied some stuff up to my apt with me. Said good bye, then DIED!

LOL Sooooo much happend!!!! Omg! it was the best!!! Cant wait for next year!!!!!!!!!!!
