Lol so I figured it out.  I need to make a post that says "Friends Only!", but make that post non F-locked so everyone can see it, and know they should friend add me :B  I think?  Is this how this works? xDDD

Durp a durp.

 

So here it is :D  If you want to read about my silly life of Cosplay, travel, art, and college, you can comment telling me who you are, or add me, and then I may add you in return.  I'm not going to ass everyone and their grandmother's billy-goat, but if I know you reasonabley well or you are a good friend of a friend, I don't see why not :3

I feel like some people are expecting a big “THIS WAS MY WEEK IN MINNESOTA” post that goes on for pages and pages so rlyrly srsly, I’ll try to keep it down. 

In typical Ali fashion, I gushed about how I was going to take 129031928million pictures and then never did xD  I did get quite a few polaroids, but those are meant to be physical, so unless you come to my house or I bring them to you, you will probably never see them ;3

The bus ride there was actually not that bad.  I took a Megabus—First to Chicago, then to Minneapolis.  Tara met me in Chicago and we gabbed for a few hours so that was really nice, to not be alone and to hang out with a really nice gal <3  I was really surprised how bums would come up to us while we were sitting, eating, in the middle of talking, and ask for change.  But of course, I’m smart enough to just say no~  They played movies on the second bus, which was nice, and I fell asleep until we got a reststop where I got a footlong subway sandwhich.  I had every intent of saving half of it but I was so hungry I scarfed it all and then had a tummy ache x3  There were also some boys who were standing behind me at the subway saying things about the “pretty white girl with the purple hair” and eyeballing me funny and it made me feel very awkward :c  They were also lingering around strangely once we got to Minneapolis but luckily Josh was there in his batmobile just a few minutes later!  He rescued me from the suspicious looks of intimidating hoodlums and I got a Minnesota smooch and all was well in the world.

Now, I have to go do homework and catch up on things and clean my room and my car xD  Faaaaah~

P.S:  This may or ma not be a polaroid of me and Missy jumping on Josh's bed.   

xDDDD 

Sometimes I don't know if I should feel uncomfortable over the past, or just let it be the past.  I don't believe in judging people on their past behavior, and I know I certainly am a different person today than I was a year ago, but I don't know if that means just totally ignoring someone's past; OR just not judging them by it, but still remaining aware that stuff happened, and maybe I shouldn't just shove it all by the wayside.  It's good to forgive, right?  But forget....  I don't know.  That whole: "Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me" thing holds true a lot in my eyes.

I came to the realization that I want to have fun while I am young.  I think I always kind of knew this, lol, because I never wanted to be the 35 year old lady getting sloshed at a bar for the first time, because she never took time out to have fun before because of school/work/life.  I want to be my own person.  I get input from so many sources--Church, school, my family, my aunt(holy shit my aunt @_@)-- and a lot of them agree on most things, so I guess I've been getting a pretty biased opinion my whole life.  I think they have my best interest at heart, of course!  And I've never been afraid to break barriers--Like, dye my hair, or cut my hair, or tell my dad I wanted to join the LGBT group in highschool, only to roll my eyes when he asked if I was a lesbian xD  I'm not afraid of doing what's not expected in my, but some things are just so ingrained that I guess I never questioned them, because I never had to. 

Some things aren't bad that I thought were bad.  And some things just aren't as life-shatteringly important that I thought were so zomgimportant.  Maybe I will feel differently later.  But I won't let myself regret anything.  I think it would be a horrible waste of life if I didn't get out there and experiance a lot of stuff while I was young and free and healthy and happy.  I want to travel, and take shittons of pictures, and try new things, and wear new styles, and do things I want to do because I want to do them.

 Sometimes, you should not always just "do what you want", because you have to think of other people and the greater good and whatnot, but I never want to offend or hurt anyone.  So with that in mind, I want to do the things I want to do, and go the places I want to go, and just have less inhibitions about things--while still having respect for others, of course.  But you can't please everyone all the time, and sometimes, I guess, I just have to make choices for myself.  I never, ever thought of myself as a cautious person, but now that's I'm growing up and more options are open to me, I have to check and make sure I'm still the funloving girl as before.

And, since I most certainly am, I better keep it up! ~

This is very much a ramble.  Comments are always welcome, but never pressured, esspecially for strange rambly "I'm a grown up now??" posts like this xDD

~w~  Hello world.

So, this Saturday, I'm going to be on a bus for a grand total of 15 hours.  For those of you who haven't figure it out, I'm going to Minnesota on mini-vacation.  It wasn't a secret, but apparently Jorsh didn't really tell anyone and some people were SHOCKED and AMAZED!  So lol, I'm going to Minnesota, and I'm going to be bored out of my mind on the way there and back.

So I need some input?  I can bring my laptop but it only holds a 2 hour charge :<  So that leaves me 13 more hours of bus, and 2 hours in Chicago whilst I wait for my second bus.

Does anyone have any good books they can suggest?  Car-ride games I can play by myself? =w=;   I know to bring knitting, and paper, and pens, but I think I will hit the wall at some point and just start crying and tearing my hair out from sheer boredom and anticipation.

This sux.

In other news, I have an intro to Japan midterms I knew NOTHING ABOUT until this monday.  Whoops?  I also have not done a single reading in the class since  the first week, and during class I sit and draw. 

Im not too worried tho.  I'm one of those kids who can get away with this type of thing, although it doesn't help with my stressing out beforehand at all.  I'm just glad everything is due/done on friday, and I will have no homework and nothing to fret about while I'm away in a forgien land.

Lol, suggestions plz?  And what are good travel foods I can bring??

<3 Kyli

  

A few of you may know, but Monday-Friday I live with my grandmother, due to the fact her house is about a ten minute drive from my school.  While this is a lot easier on gas and time, it means I have to sleep on a day bed in the middle of the living room, and the dining table doubles as my work-table.  Most of the time, this works out good, because the house is cozy, safe, and my grandmother sleeps most of the time so it's quiet.

But sometimes, like anyone, she wants to talk.  Usually I get trips down memory lane into war-time Chzecholslovakia, or into my childhood, and while the talks sometimes get lengthy they're always interesting.

However, today was a particularily funny night.  I was washing dishes--she was making sloppy joes.  She starts talking to me about my pants, and how they are "oof, too tight, young ladies should not wear such pants" and what not xD.  She then proceeds to tell me that tight pants make boys crazy--Which leads to our heart-to-heart boyfriend discussion, which was really my grandmother giving me boy advice while I tried not to snort up soap bubbles from laughing so hard. 

She and my grandfather were married for 50 years, and lived together up until the last 5 years of my grandpa's life.  So obviously, she values long relationships and commitment, which I do as well.  She told me about my aunt Eva, who went through boyfriends like it was going out of style, always finding a new boy/man through her entire life while she was still dating the previous one, dumping the current one, picking up the new one.  Old boyfriend cries/beats on door in the middle of the night/ all sorts of craziness.  My grandmother "doesn't understand this sillyness." 

It was kind of cute actually.  She told me she doesn't understand it because she met my grandfather, fell in love with my grandfather, and never wanted to be apart from my grandfather.  It seems so simple when she says it. 

 

Of course, I can’t get off scotch free with my Grandmother.  We’re done gossiping about my Aunt’s romantic life and my Grandmother’s nice long-term values—Then it comes time to spring on me about the fellows.  Because I was laughing (or trying not to) I didn’t get to say much, but it didn’t stop grammie from giving me all her advice and opinions.  Don’t wear tight pants; don’t wear indecent undergarments.  Tell a boy if he is being too forward, and if you have to tell him more than once ask him to drive you home--lol, sooo much chivalry in this one, like assuming the boy picked you up at all xD.

 

In short, I love my grandmother, and our heart-to-hearts make me laugh.  She’s just looking out for me I suppose, and giving me a good chuckle along the way.

So, recently I have been sleeping A LOT.  I don’t know what the deal is.  I would like to blame it on the fact that my grandma’s house is 80 degree all the time, but I even do this when I’m at my parent’s house which is kept at a balmy 64 ~o~.  Maybe I’m just constantly going through temperature shock?  Generally, I go to bed around 1 or 2 am, and get up at 8 or 9.  By 2 in the afternoon I’m shot, which is horrible, considering I have two classes at and after that time on MWF.  So generally, I either am home or I just get home at around 4, eat, and then proceed to fall asleep until 7/8.  I guess it’s really not a crazy amount of sleep, now that I look at it and see the math right in front of me.  But I feel lethargic all day.  I need something to do.  I’m probably going to start going to the pool again, hopefully that will wake me up and charge my day or something.

At the least, I’ll smell good xD

 

Musically, I am obsessed with the album “Pretty Odd” by Panic at the Disco.  It’s such a crazy change from their first CD and I love every single song.  I have also been watching shoddy downloads of The Office online.  I guess I’m a little behind the times, but whatever, I’m enjoying myself now.  I’ll catch up.  Eventually… xD

 

Aristically, I’m knitting up a  storm.  There is a little one-day-rinky-dinky convention in Bowling Green, Ohio the last weekend of March, which I need to make some money at so I can afford to go to Anime Detour the next weekend @w@  Last year I made one checkered hat, and I sold it.  I am hoping to make 3 this time, and checkered-knitted-wristbands, and sell those.  This year, I will also have cards to my website, so if I can get some work AFTER the con as a result of it, that would be great.

 

I’m trying to avoid getting a “real” job as much as possible.  It’s not that I haven’t tried, but honestly, working for myself would just be so much better.  It’s what I want to do in the long run anyway, so why not start now ;3

 

Plus, it makes spontaneous trips out of state a whole lot easier--although not on the monetary front xD  Oh well.  It’s not like I can take it with me when I die.

I don't like it when friends invite you somewhere, then go out drinking and generally ignore you.
I don't like it when kids bash each other and do really mean, horrible things just to feel a little cooler.
I don't like it when boys hit on girls who are taken, and vice versa.  It's disrespectful to everyone and quite obviously a horrible basis for a relationship.
I don't like it when I get tagged in the "25 things about you" notes on facebook--
but I like filling them out, hah!
I really, really don't like it when my stepsister is in the same room/house/general one mile radius as me.

I swear, the drama pouring from her that I have to listen to makes the OC look like a cooking show for children.  She's just like a reality TV sensation, but no where near as good looking.

I supposed I should focus on, instead of the things I don't like, the things that I do.  But sometimes a girl just gets overwhelmed as has to type some shit out on a stupid blog.
Lol, life is silly. 

Okay okay.  I have to like something, right?
I like cosplay--even if it means I'm dystroying fandom with my furry-Saix and my casual horrors.
I like Grapefruits
I like Josh
I like knitting, painting, drawing, creating.
I like eating--
However, I'm kind of bad at cooking.
I like a lot of things.
And generally, I like everyone.  I've just been kind of perplexed at some people in this human race the past few days @___@

Whatever, I'm going to go fill out that stupid survey and eat a grapefruit <3

<3 Kyli

I do not want to get sick :C  However, since everyone around me is coughing and sneezing and throwing up, I'm praying to God I get sick now and I'm totally flawless and healthy in two weeks.    I have been eating grapefruits, and I guess they are supposed to be good for your immune system, so: *crosses fingers*

In some fabulous news!
Last month, my old computer crashed.  It had everything on it ever, but most importantly, it had all my art files for pictures, magnets, and prints that I usually sell at conventions.  I like to make new merchandise for each con but having to start all over was just a crushing thought.

HOWEVER!

My dad is a computer wiiiiiz <3  He managed to suck everything off the hard-drive and dump it into our new computer, so I got everything back!  It made me so happy (and taught me a good lesson about backing all my important files up onto CDs, flash drives, whatever @___@!)

I was in the Valentine's day section of CVS and they had a box of chocolates with a picture of a girl in a crown, and the big, bold word "DRAMA" written across it.  I get that it was supposed to be like, "Drama Queen" but the fact that it only said Drama made me lol.  Who gets anyone something like that for Valentine's day??  Sometimes I don't understand the consumer culture.

Well, off to do homework ~w~  Gotta stay on track...you know, a little.

<3 Kyli

 I thought I would love "blogging" but I don't know!

So much happened at Ohayocon that if I were to write about it, it would be 40 million pages long.

In short, it was amazing, and I had so much fun and such a great time.  Being a part of Crystina's Org. group was absolutely smashing.  I was so nervous and intimidated at Youmacon that I had a hard time connecting, but once I was able to be a little more talkative and more like myself, it was incredibly easy to see how nice and fun all this group is.  Plus, they're all really dedicated cosplayers, which I love.  Everyone tried hard to look good and they did!  I had a lot of fun, no matter how tired my feet were in my innacurate gogo boots by the end of the day.  In the time between Youmacon and Ohayo, I was able to connect more with people through the magic of the interwebs so this con things were easier and just a lot more natural and fun :3

 

Shep also went over really well <3 


I only wore him for about 4 hours, and the paint was chipping off a little around my mouth and what not, but I got enough pics that I knew I could show it off online as well.  I got stopped by two classes of people:

1. “OMG YOU ARE BLUE CAN  HAVE UR PIC EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE?”
2. “INTERSTELLA 5555?!?!?!?!  I RUVE YOU!!!!”

 

Hah hah <3 xD  Josh wore Arpegius with me, which was like mmmmm a dream come true!  He tried to make it a surprise, but I guess he got impatient and told me early lol.  Boy who kisses me, boy who cosplays with me, boy who kisses me in cosplay.

 

Can life really get any better?

 

I do realize now though, that I blew off a lot of friends to hang out with him.  It’s kind of hard when you don’t get to see each other as much as you’d like.   I know I had an amazing time, but some dear people to me had shittier times because of it and I’m really sorry.  Luckily, my apologies have been accepted, or I’d be such a shmuck @___@! 

 

However, I am not sorry to Sam’s friend Adam, who walked in during the .0005 seconds Josh and I were smooching in the hotel room.  At first I was embarrassed and we left right away and I even apologized to Sam the next day.  But then that boy gave me death glares and bitched about how long I was keeping the keycard.  Then I thought about it—I payed my 20 bucks for spending the night in that room, and if I want to smooch someone in it, I damn well will!  I’m angry I let him make me feel bad about something I shouldn’t have.

 

So, Saix, Shep, then Casual Saix.  Casual day was so much fun!  For the most part it was “Saix, Xemnas, Roxas, and Axel” but later our Marluxia and Zexion showed up and it was just a lot of silly fun.  Heidi’s a great photographer, and a great sport for putting up with our ridiculous kissing, jumping, busy-street-crossing, and escalator wave-ing.  I’m really glad to know this group of people~ <3

 

Saturday night was all sorts of ridiculousness, and the con in general just ended too soon.  Now it’s time for me to pour through pictures and wait impatiently for the next time I can zip up my giant grey zipper and pop uncomfortable pieces of yellow plastic into my eyes ;n;  I love conventions.

 

<3 Kyli

P.S:  Someone just posted this on /CGL/ and I flipped the fuck out.  Crystina, you did such a good job on the scar, even though it was the first time trying.  I love it @o@!!  Thank you so much!

Ohayocon is in 2 days.  I just have to get through today (Tuesday), Wendesday (school and a job interview to distract me =w=;) and part of Thursday.  I fully intend on sleeping in as late as possible on Thursday, till like...NOON, so that I can just get up and get ready and go at 4.  I HATE sitting around waiting for something.  It is the worst thing.  I start to feel sick, and anxious, and jittery.  And Ohaycon is making me all of those things even more than usual v____v;

I am really excited for this convention.  Minus the damper of my best friend not going, everything is looking great.  My Saix wig is lovely my coat is taken in, I made a new pair of pants.  My Shep...Oh my Shep.  I put it on and couldn't believe that I'd really done it.  I think I am allowed to be proud of myself on this one, and I really did something that no one else has ever done.... Okay, no one else has ever done WELL, hah hah!

I'm really excited to see people I haven't seen in a long time, and make a lotta memories.  I have my polaroid and 20 sheets of film, so hopefully I can get some fun old-school photos as well.  I have so much stuff packed into all the sections of my giant suitcase that I can't remember where anything is anymore!   

Does "Complicated" mean nothing on Facebok?  Like, I get Josh lives far away and I can't be all over him like a pair of skinny jeans on an emo kid as often as I want, but that doesn't make it any less real.  This kid seems to think he can flirt with me and hit on me and tell my friend's he's going to hit on me all he wants, even though he knows what's up.  He KNOWS.  Eff, all caps makes it more official.

People are stupid sometimes, lol.

This journal is just a big ramble.  Ramble.  Ramen.  Ramen Noodles.  That's what I packed for Ohayocon.  Along with some Penut butter, and a bunch of various granola/protien bars.  I also am bringing plastic cutlery and bowls, because last time... . *shiver*  Ick, I don't want to know how many times we re-used the same cups for paint, tea, rice, and contacts.  YUCK! Hah hah.  I'm being responsible and bringing crap.

I am also sleeping on the floor all night, but I demanded first showers.  I will get up early as long as I can take my 20 minute hot shower in the morning.  I don't like people who don't shower :/

Okay, I'm just wasting time now, hah hah <3  I think I'll update this baby after Ohayocon....?

<3 Kyli

P.S:  Can anyone teach me how to dance?  .____.      

I think this will take me some time to get used to.
I don't really have anything interesting to write today...
Obligatory first post xD
