Okay so maybe not entirely true... but then again maybe so... who knows?

Its been a LONG time since my last journal. A lot has happened.

Had a blast at AnimeIowa! Can't wait for next year! Got my pictures up online. I'll link to them later.

Dad and Uncle Tim have had a couple of visits to the hospital since then, things have been changing here at home and work is just as stupid and stressful as ever.

On another note:
Some people (including myself. I'm one of the Project Managers) are attempting to start a convention in the Quad Cities Area. We have a potential financial backer (we just need to meet up with them and prove we're worthy of using their money) and we're narrowing down our list of locations. We want to have it start next year in late spring early summer next year. Wish us luck. Those of you who live in the area and are willing to help us (be it staff or volunteer) the forum is here: [link]
every little bit counts.

I do have a few new pictures I've drawn recently. They're not all that great but at least its something. They're character's from my story B.A.Z.P.I. (Battle Accessory Zodiac Piece Integration). I'll put them up soon.

really don't have much to talk about right now. I'm kinda tired and I've got some errands to run soon.

Bye for now!

Thats right everyone, its time once again for the best convention in Iowa (and currently, as i've heard, the only one)!!
This evening we'll be departing for Coralville, Iowa and tomorrow will start three days of non-stop fun and we'll get plenty of pocky, ramune and hopefully some daifuku too!

i have to find a new cord for my camcorder but i intend to take lots of footage and pictures and i will share them with anyone who wants to see them!

i have to finish packing now and tie-up a few loose ends.

i'll have my laptop with me but i don't know if i'll have internet access or not.

btw, for those who don't know, Buu-chan is the pig mascot for AnimeIowa.

well here we go!

Just Turn Back Around & Run Back Into Them...

I STILL HAVE SOME SLOTS LEFT OPEN IN MY FEATURES JOURNAL! COME ON NOW! YOU KNOW YOU WANT SOME FREE PUBLICITY!!!! YES YOU DO! DON'T ARGUE WITH ME!!! GET OVER TO THAT JOURNAL NOW AND COMMENT!!! PLEASE!!!!! ITS MUCH NICER THAN THIS ONE ANYWAY!!!! [link]

Okay so I felt it was time to do an update. Here we go...

Right so, went to the VA clinic today for dad's appointment... yeah... they kept him again. There are too many details that I (rudely) don't wish to go into right now because I already have to repeat them in person to so many people around here... so the abridged version: They're keeping him, another possible blockage near his heart, catherization thing scheduled, some other potential tests, possibly released in a couple of days.
not holding my breath on that last one... its usually not that easy....

Been hangin out with TNT every weekend. We've had our ups and downs... and some progress has been made. I, however, have quite a few faults that I definitely need to address... *Sigh* and then my day... I wish I was still a strong person. I know I used to be... but I seem to have crumbled over the years with all the outrageous events in my life. I gotta stop letting it get to me...

Sorry went all emo for a moment.

AnimeIowa is so close I can taste it... and in a matter of days I will XD. Pocky, Ramune and Daifuku here Denna comes!!!!!

At our TNT Meeting/Hangout last night we watched Dragonball Evolution. Thankfully I needed a bad laugh. That movie was so far beyond horrible. Most of our group never liked dragonball/z... one of them even saying that they were honestly offended by that movie! I have to agree. I was rather disgusted with it too... but i'm still glad i redboxed it. and don't be afraid lads and lades but it appears that there more than likely will be a sequel. at least thats what that part that suddenly shows up in middle of the credits suggests...

After putting up my (1st) entry for 's contest I received several comments requesting the same thing... they want to read it. i do have every intention of doing that story. and i am, in fact, working on some plot and character sketches w/bio's now. I will put some of it up here as i get the chance for some feedback but i want to try and submit it to a company. i really do. its a dream to be a graphic novel artist. I want people to read my stories. It may be hard though to get this one out there... after-all if you have seen the deviation and read "the back cover" you'll realize that is Shoujo-Ai... ya know... girl love... but with a name like Crazy Crazy Rainbow what does one expect?

Um... I know there were things i wanted to say in here but i seriously can't remember them right now... my empty head is all mush right now... so i guess i'll go for now. luv ya!

Okay so I finally reached it. My Golden Birthday! For those who don't know that's when you turn the same age as the day you were born. That was this year for me. I turned 25 on June 25th. And while it should have been a monumental event, I'd say it was any other day except with an adorable pair of turtle earrings (i love you berrychan!!!!) and a hot pink candle in my sandwich... Yeah it sounds weird but... yeah...
Originally I had made plans to go to the theater with a bunch of friends and see the new Transformers movie. I had to cancel because I hadn't the money to do such an endeavor anymore and I had a hunch that I would be needed elsewhere. Which I was. I spent that night over at my Uncle's house because he was released from the hospital that evening and definitely needed someone there with him. And though someone was in great protest of the situation, she came along with me anyway and I very much love and appreciate her for doing that.
My vacation, though much of the time far from feeling like a vacation comes to an end today. Sadly I return to work tomorrow. I feel so unaccomplished and yet...
I MANAGED TO GET ONE OF MY AMV'S REVAMPED AND READY FOR THE CON!!!!

I guess thats all I have to say right now. I've gotta take a shower and get my clothes in the dryer and get ready for bed. Oh and check my messages too.

Much love for you all... I do have some pictures I took that I will post soon. And I've got some footage to edit and put up on YouTube that you might enjoy. We had a fun adventure in the park on the 24th!

One more thing I feel like saying about my birthday... Apparently it was a major deathday too. Seeing as, if I'm correct, Farrah Fawcett and Micheal Jackson passed away on my birthday... Plus we lost one of the residents at the nursing home I work with too. It feels... weird... and sad...

anyway... later!
