No, I'm not homeless!
Another one of my cousins just arrived in Chicago from Thailand. I can't take it anymore, there's too many people in my house! There's a total of 8 people now living in my house.

My cousin, named Nutt, is visiting us for the holidays. I'm not resentful, but I would like to maintain my space and territory. It just feels really cluttered here. And wow has cousin Nutt changed a lot. Back then when she was younger, she whined and cried A LOT, so I called her "little miss whiny pants" for 6 years. Of course I stopped when she matured. Well, the last time I saw her, about 3 years ago, she was a real quiet type, like me. I remember her curly hair and her silence.

Now that I've seen her today, after 3 years, she's way too mature! She's tall, thin, and got long straight hair... and she wears make-up... (she's only 15). Simply put... she's pretty. GAHHHH!!! Since when do people in my family grow to 5'6"?! I'm 5'2" and I was considered the tallest one in the family! I can't help that I'm vertically challenged! My self-conscious self wants to die right now.

Man... 8 people in my tiny house.
Where am I gonna sleep?

By the way, Project Schneider was put on hold because my custom cosplay was delivered safely, I just need to make the head. I won't say what my outfit is because it would spoil the ACen surprise for Izzy and Jason.

MY AUNT KILLED MY SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH!!!!

Akira was fine the last time I saw him....
Then my aunt changed the water and now Akira's DEAD!

My beautiful red and purple fish!
I saw him sitting at the bottom of the tank with his eyes glazed over.
I screamed, HE'S DEAD, HE'S DEAD!!!

This is the second fish my aunt has done in.
I've been mourning the death of Akira all day.

Actually, this morning, my aunt gave me money to buy a new fish. So I bought a new fish, it's a Delta tail siamese fighting fish.

My new fishy:

He's so pretty, I named him "Siegfried," after Sieg Hart (favorite Rave Master character). I was deciding between that or "Shuda" (no, not Shuta, but Shuda) which is another Rave Master character.

It's ironic because I currently have a red sff named "Roy" and a white sff named "Byakko" (white tiger). Ahahaha Siegfried and Roy... and a white tiger!!!! What a coincident.

"Ah....... Akira, you have lived well.
May you frolic in pet heaven with my past gerbils, hamsters, chickens, fish, frogs, and dog.
Farewell my friend, I won't be able to make fishy faces for you anymore."

Yeah, all those weeks after arriving back from Japan, I finally finished building the awesome Gundam I got from Japan. I took a lot of pictures but I'll only share two because I don't want to pic spam my journal. This was the only MG (Master Grade) Gundam I bought in Japan. I bought it in Akihabara. It was in a really big toy store, there was a colossal wall of Gundam kits.... It was like heaven.

It's the "Crossbone Full Cloth ver."

It took 5 days to build, I worked in 3 hr intervals.


It looks so cool, I spent some extra time to detail the black lines. The thin black lines and skull sockets were all done by hand with a needle-thin pen tip. Gundam models always expect you to contour all the lines yourself, but all the builders I know of are too lazy and leave the Gundams as is (very plain looking). I will talk about the concert tomorrow.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I'M GOING TO THE JIN AKANISHI CONCERT TODAY!!!

Miki scored some tickets last minute. At first we couldn't grab any tickets was JE was an ass and released the dates super last minute. All the tickets were sold out because of this issue and most people weren't informed, thus missing their chance.

I can't believe I'm going! I've been moping all week because I couldn't go. Now I can go!!! Ahahahahaha!!!!! I'm so frikkin happy!!! If there's one guy who can make me squeal like a fan girl, it's Jin! Sorry Nishijima, I still love you.

Drawing is on hold till I get a gagillion pictures of Jin at the concert.
AWESOME!!!!! See ya!

Yeah, it's been a while since I've been on.
I've been busy...

GAHHHH!!! I hate myself right now!
No, I'm not being emo about my art again. This is about my inability to live in the house without my parents. I can't do anything on my own. I hardly make enough money to buy food and I don't know how to pay bills. It's only for one month, yet I feel so useless.

Asides from me hating myself, I severely loathe my roommate possibly for all of eternity!!! My roommate has been spreading some BS about me and Miki being mean and making them cry all the time. My roommate also said that Miki and I do "nothing" at work and take all the salaries away. All of these LIES are spreading like wildfire throughout the members of my clan. So at this point, all our relatives hate me and Miki for being so cruel and inhumane. WHATEVER!!!!! When have I ever mistreated my roommate?! I always let my roommate get away with eating my cheeseburgers and I never yell back. This isn't fair!!!!!! They haven't even heard our side of this twisted story! What's making me super mad is that all of my relatives, including the 200-something cousins hate us!

My roommate is really messed up, example: my roommate is one of those people who acts nice and well mannered in front of respected people, like elders or my parents, but when no ones around, the lying booze drinking flirting life destroying demon is unleashed. Because my roommate maintains an innocent cover, people would take my roommate's words over mine. I already have a bad reputation in the eyes of my clan, because of my anger issues and violent outbreaks, but everyone knows I'm gentle by nature. No matter how much I plea, they prefer to listen to the wolf in the sheep disguise rather than the actual sheep.

A few of my friends heard about the rumors too. Of course my friends are angry, they know everything is a lie. One of my friends said, "if your roommate wants to spread horrible lies and think she can get away with it, then she doesn't deserve to stay here and should go back overseas." True, if my roommate wants to start something with the people (me and Miki) who own the house, what's the point? Are they asking to be kicked out?! Everyone knows that I would never inflict emotional harm on anyone (unless they deserve it). Everybody also knows that I work my butt off at the restaurant and split the salaries accordingly.

We've been nothing but nice and now my roommate starts this crap!
Purposely spreading antagonizing lies is crazy!
This means war!!!!
You do not mess with the Lalam sisters!!!
We've chased tenants out before and we can do it again.

I was surprised when I got my concert merch.
Besides the basic t-shirts and wrist bands. I've discovered the usefulness of muffler towels from Chizu when I was back in Japan. Wow, I never realized one actually accumulates tons of sweat on the back neck. Chizu threw a muffler towel on me when I was cooking, so useful!

From that inspiration, I had ordered one.... okay two AAA muffler towels.
I wear them when I cook, it's wonderful.

Oh yeah, I also got myself a copy of the Nisshin photobook. My roommate was skimming through it... Miki was looking at it for a little bit too. She eyeballed me and said, "oh... one of those pairings... By the way, I don't like Nishijima's face, there's something weird about it." I replied with, "they're pulling out the fan-service strategy again and hey I like my book!"

I wasn't exactly in class today...
I was in the computer lab and messing around on the computer, e-mails, journals, and what not. I was really bored and looked on the music shop I like so much, the same one I have customer service arguments with. I was surprised when I saw the new AAA single available for pre-order (I hadn't been on in a while). I was pretty excited. When I got home, I wanted to tell Miki about it.

Unfortunately, when Miki is in the middle of a video game, she tends to not catch everything you say.

Hence...
Miki's quote of the day:
"WHAT?!?!?!?!?! You saw nude AAA?! WHERE?! HOW?! That is so wrong!"

I was then re-explaining my actual words, "I'm so awestruck! Today I was on Yesasia and I saw a new AAA cd, me wants so badly!"

I don't know how she got "AAA was nude" out of that? That was the funniest thing that happened today.

Uhh... what did I do today?
I saw the "King of Fighters" movie...
Whoa... it was just as bad as Tekken! But, the inter-dimensional battle arenas were an awesome idea, other than that, I will never watch the movie again! I found it very interesting that they had decided to based the King of Fighters storyline off of the "Orochi legend," the 8-headed dragon of doom. I was a little familiar with it (I played a lot of Okami). Even the characters names were very close to the names of the ones from the legend. The main character "Mai Shiranui," the name Shiranui comes from the reincarnated form of Amaterasu (the sun goddess), which aided in the defeat of Orochi. The other character, "Kyo Kusanagi," who is the wielder of the Kusanagi sword, the same sword from the legend which was the only weapon that could kill and seal Orochi.

I went to school... nearly feel asleep due to boredom.

Got back from school and ate minestrone (no choice, there was no food in the house). Then I watched "The Forbidden Kingdom" with Miki. I love Jackie Chan movies. I practically grew up watching his movies.

I'm going to go play Zoids Legacy now, because I'm still a kid.

I pre-ordered it a long time ago (mainly because I always forget to buy a calender for the next year). Yes, I'm a doofus because I usually end up calenderless from my horrible memory.

My AAA calender just came in the mail today!
I've already seen the cover online, but after I flipped through the pages, I was so surprised at how much more colorful it was than the last calender. The setting is "retro diner" plus wacky colorful outfits. Note: I have not seen contents of the calender prior to today.
I'm more concerned about the outfits rather than the calender.
Okay... this feels awkward...
Anyways, that was my AAA Random Report.
I'm going to shut up now, this whole thing was just super random.

Oh yeah, if anyone wants to see my folder with more Calender scans, just ask and I'll give you the link.

I am soooooooooooo HAPPY!!!!!!!
I missed Miki so much. She's finally back from Taiwan! I hated being alone, I didn't think I was going to get through going a month without Miki. I'm glad she's finally back!

I hope she learned a lot from her study abroad program. Miki brought back tons of cool gifts for me. Check these out, Miki knows what I like:I don't know if she's pulling my leg or what (I'm super gullible). There needs to be some thorough investigation in this matter. I'm just really happy she's back! I love my gifts from Taiwan!!!

As promised, here is the Gundam I built.

For now, here's my BB330. This is the true form

And this is when the wings transform into a phoenix. He can ride the bird.
I built two, but my aunt forgot to give me the "Shin Mokoso" Gundam before I left work. That's the main reason you only see one Gundam instead of two. My poor chibi Gundam is all alone at work...

I would've put this up earlier, but my roommate kept hogging the internet. So there was a lot of connection errors.
