Random Things About Me...
1. I love eating. It's good that I have a high metabolism, or else I would be like 289753 pounds. My favorite food of all time is this chicken dish my mom makes with rice, those french fried onion things, and cream of mushroom soup. It is delicious.

2. I despise exercising. I do it mostly because I feel guilty, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

3. I'm an only child. And yes, I did get all of the toys, love, and attention.

4. I love traveling, and would love to do more of it. So far, the only 2 other countries I have been to have been Japan and Canada, and Canada barely counts. My dream is to visit England, Korea, Germany, and Greece before I kick the bucket.

5. I am really good at procrastination. My roommate and I often talk about how to market it. "Procrastination - try it today!"

6. I ski. Pretty well. Sometimes I break bones. But I never let that stop me.

7. I fucking despise twilight with the power of a thousand suns. My kind of vampires do not sparkle, cannot go out in the sunlight, are allergic to garlic, sleep in coffins or some sort of hidey-hole, and drink blood from/kill people. Thank you very much.

8. I buy a lot of useless things. I should really stop that.

I'm not going to tag anyone, mostly because everyone has done this already, but also because no one actually reads my journals anyway. =]

(No one got the kiriban. Boo.)

So Otakon was fun, yet tiring. I loved my cosplays this year!! It was awesome being the Warden and Kanda, not to mention how amazing it was to be cosplaying with everyone!

And so, next year, it is planned(?) that and I will be.....
Xanxus and Squalo from KHR (respectively) !!!
Also, will be Belphegor !!
What is it with me and super long, annoying wigs?

I've only got 2 more weeks of my playground job, so hopefully I can get around to posting all of my prints from last semester, my costumes, and also to make some things that have been on the brain for awhile before I leave for the fall. I'm also going to take photos of all of Hannah's amazing plushies that she's made me.

Oh, and HP was AMAZERING.
Ron totally cockblocked.

So it's official, I'm taking Bio at KU this summer.
Great fun, 4 days a week, dissections, yes yes.

Anywho, if anyone cares/remembers, I'm going to have a kiriban at 1,888 (because it is quite the snazzy year.) The prize will be any print that I have posted currently (which I realize aren't that many), as well as any of the ones I am going to post within the next week, packaged and shipped at no cost/given to you if you happen to go to Tyler. The only ones not for giving are my jellyfish woodcut, as I only have one of them and I can't print the block again, as well as my gigantic photo lithography with the angel, as it would be just too large and expensive to ship (I'm poor, remember?). The print will be editioned, titled, and signed, so when I become an incredibly famous printmaker, you will have an original Alison.
So do what you do and try to get that shit. It's probably printed on $5/sheet Rives BFK.

Hello everyone, I have a request.

I seem to do academic work better when I'm listening to some sort of classical music, but I'm getting bored of what I have.

So, if you know of any decent songs/artists/composers/the like, please just leave me a comment.

Things I already have and would not like more of:
Mozart - I'm pretty positive that I have every recording of every piece of music he's ever composed ever. But that crazy bastard is my favorite.
Verdi - 2 discs of Aida is plenty
Tchaikovsky

Things that I would like:
Beethoven! (Minus Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata)
Modern composers
More Opera (Minus the Magic Flute and anything from Carmen)

Thanky!

I need some inspiration, as my muse has seemingly taken an indefinite holiday. Probably to Greece.

So if you, my dear friends, have anything that could jump start my creativity, please share.

I need to get back into an art making mode before the semester begins, or it will just be all fail, all the time.

On a side note, I've recently become obsessed fascinated with Japanese dramas. And all the adorable, adorable actors. I blame Megan.
