Yes. It is my last entry before AX. I managed to get a gash in my right middle finger from an X-acto knife resembling a fish-gutting knife in the process of cutting Eriol-kun's spikes. But it is finished. Eriol's staff is finished. And off I go to Tijuana, and I will see the rest of you on Wednesday the 4th. Please take care of business cars, my staff, luggage, GOH reception ticket, and badge. Tanomu yo!!! -+> meeped the brat | 01:04 a.m. | Friday, June 29, 2001 | np: 'Memories of Green' - Chrono Trigger I leave tomorrow. I have black gloves, En's staff is done, his head piece is done, but nothing else I can rush. But it's okay, considering he usually wears his stuff over normal clothes anyway. I don't have Eriol's shoes done yet. Nor is his staff put together. And I need to reiron the whole outfit again. I need to call Kix tonight after I've dropped off my Tijuana luggage, and Akuma, I got to get you my AX luggage, my hotel money, etc. And if you can't handle Eriol's staff/En's staff, you might be able to ask Kevin and Pekkle to drive it down for me na? Not QUITE my last entry before AX. -+> meeped the brat | 05:15 p.m. | Thursday, June 28, 2001 | np: Chrono Cross ED I'm in a big. FAT. state of panic at the moment. I need to pack tonight. For AX AND Tijuana trip. CRAAAP ;;_;; I have less than a day to finish Eriol's staff and shoes and iron it all up, and I still need to finish En's staff. I've given up entirely on making the entire costume, so the least I can do is stick with his staff and head-piece and gloves. But I HAVE NO GLOVES! AND I HAVE NO TIME!!! Thank GOD Pekkle is being the ultimate sweet angel that he is and he's practically custom making the staff for me! He's done SOOO MUCH! >_< What's also good is that $100 strangely appeared on my desk... So now I have $320 spending money... >_>;; Kix-chan, you DO owe me $65. And I DO need it at AX. ~_~ -+> meeped the brat | 03:31 a.m. | Thursday, June 28, 2001 | np: I reallllly don't care right now What's up with my cousin's AX plans? Why did Henry drop out of the freestyler's?? And should I take his place??? ;_; But I'm no freestyler!!! What am I DOING, I have a COSTUME TO RUSH!!! I have DDR to PRACTICE FOR!!! ;;;_;;; ::rushes down to play 4th mix:: -+> meeped the brat | 10:28 p.m. | Sunday, June 24, 2001 | np: 'Tooi kono machi de' - Kaitani Naomi I SUPPOSE it's the natsukashii feeling I haven't gotten since AX99. I didn't feel it at AX2K, I don't think. But now I do feel it. Dammit. I HATE feeling nervous. It was all Akuma's fault in the first place. She was the one that convinced me I should join the DDR contest at AX, and now I shall make a fool out of myself. ::sigh:: But I got Akuma to join as well. Just as long as she's there I'll be okay. I've been checking over the entire AX schedule, and you know what? Artist Alley and Exhibit hall are going to keep us pretty busy. That's okay I suppose, but there's so many events we need to make, so many receptions and showings and focus panels, and a fashion show. I don't think I'll be spending too much time drawing. We still don't even know what times to pick up Masquerade tickets for instance. That I'll need to find out. I absolutely can NOT miss AX masq. this year. Akuma-chan, you'll need to confirm with the AX people about ID if you guys are picking up my badge for me. I think I'll need to give you my student ID or something. It should work out. And don't forget to buy me a Guest Reception ticket. If you do I won't forgive you. =P Till count was penny short today. Work lasted too long. Feel like puking. Suddenly discovered could pass Era on Maniac today. Need to practice for DDR contest at AX. Oh why me??? I have FIVE days to cram a costume for AX, practice DDR for AX, shop food for AX, pack for AX, and get my art crap together. I feel sooo lost. And I do not need a stalker on my ass when I get there. No. I worked too much to earn a bad time. >_> Luckily I will have 3 or 4 bodyguards there.

Mezurashii janai??? XD So far we haven't gotten a whole lot done but it's okay. Jack-niichan is gunna come over and I think he's spending the night too, tanoshiiiii! XD XD XD The smell of summer is kicking in. It will be awesome. But only if Kix and Akuma don't leave me out of their awesome sounding shabu shabu dinner plans ¬_¬ hmmm... Gaki: So, when do we plan to sleep? Akuma: Whenever we feel like we've got a sufficient amount of work done. Gaki: ... Akuma: ... okay nevermind. Gaki: I take it we aren't sleeping then? ^_^ Jack: ::groan:: -+> meeped the brat | 11:10 p.m. | Thursday, June 21, 2001 | np: F.H. - FF8 Schedule changes did not go well. It was hot. There was no 4th period Myth. Did not get same classes as Kix-chan. Will go into office on first day of school and will change to heart's content. But PMSing while your mom is PMSing at the same time is not a good thing either. No it is not. Minna doko??? ;_; Hitori de sabishii yo! Kix I really do need my sewing machine back... I know you and Akuma went somewhere... without me... -+> meeped the brat | 09:48 p.m. | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 | np: 'Groovy Blue' - Onosaka Masaya Speaking of Esca, what's a Doppleganger? o.O And I just canceled my first plane reservation, going to go to school in a bit to change Kix and my schedules, and... it's off to Akuma's for a costume cram session. -+> meeped the brat | 12:24 p.m. | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 | np:'Mameshiba' - Sakamoto Maaya I finished rewatching Escaflowne after a year of not understanding what was going on. Escaflowne make gaki cry. Four times. But mostly when Folken-sama died. ;;;_;;; I got really sad when Folken-sama died. I still don't get why Folken-sama had to die. ;;;_;;; Monday at work was not fun. Bad time of month. Cramp. Stomach. HURRRT. Went home early. Did not come back next day. Because next day was spent playing FF8. ALLLLL DAY. I alllways thought Laguna was Rinoa's daddy. Why did I think that? Because Laguna silly got with Julia and Laguna silly went to warrr. And Laguna silly did not come back for looong time and Julia got with General Carraway or whatsisname. So I assumed. Gaki was WRONG. Stupid Japanese playstation. Gr. Kix: Thank GOD you don't read FF8 fics! Then you'd be so spoiled your brain would rot. Gaki: uh huh. *continues playing Triple Triad for umpteenth time* Kix: NOOOOO!!!!! Gaki: O_O WHAT?! Kix: YOU COVERED HIS FACE!!! Gaki: ~_~* My GOD! Who cares?! Kix: I DO! I wanna see his pretty face! He has SUCH a CUTE leer! My SEIFER-baby!!! Can't you pick him LAST?! Gaki: ... The fact that I pick him first doesn't make you feel any better? Kix: FINE. But at least pick Zell last so I can see his cute smirk. OH LOOK! They're TOGETHER! Gaki: o_O;;; It did not occur to me they were a pairing. Kix: 9_9 They're ONE of the pairings. Heeheeheeheehee~ Gaki: ERK. Brain. Bleeeeeds. >_> -+> meeped the brat | 11:20 a.m. | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 | Meehee! Church today, Tijuana meeting! =D Now I'm really all hyped up about going down and building houses! Next week there'l be another meeting, and Hank confirmed for me that we'll be back by evening! XD So no late plane flight for me, I'll be off to AX ASAP! XD It was baito on Friday, baito on Saturday (and some DDR) and it'll be baito tomorrow since I'm filling in for Anna. The more work the merrier, but I take comfort in the fact that my next paycheck will be at least $300 =D Funny. My parents are so easily emotionally swayed. For instance, today at Daddy day's dinner, when mom saw the check for our dinner and saw water had been charged $9.00, she freaked big time, threatened to talk to the manager, and literally had bloody murder in her eyes. X_X Niichan told her to calm down. niichan: She probably mistook it for soft drinks. mom: Where's the manager?! ::looks around for victim:: Which was exactly the case. Kinda scary, when parents dont ask first what the problem is... And then there was daddy taking me to school one day. gaki: Daddy, I wanna go to private school. *SCREEEEECH* *DOOSH* ::sputter:: gaki: ... Um... daddy? Are you okay? dad: *choke* THEN I shall certainly be broke. But today however, niichan was just saying how Art Center of Pasadena was the most prestigious art school in the world, and mommy and daddy overheard it. O_O Imagine their reaction. It went something like this: mom: If you get accepted, of COURSE you're going! gaki: B-but what about the cost- dad: just get loans. gaki: but you made loans sound so- mom: we're so PROUD of you! gaki: ...... I think I'll just stay quiet. o_O;; -+> meeped the brat | 12:04 a.m. | Monday, June 18, 2001 | np: 'Sakura Saku' - Hayashibara Megumi FIRST entry of the summer! XD XD XD NATSUYASUMI DAAA!!! Everyone go check Kix for our last day of school celebrations. =D It turns out very happily that I don't need to take Physics. Which directly means I don't need to take summer school. XD XD XD It's time for costume CRAMMING! And WORKING LONG HOURS! And all in all getting ready for AX and doing all the things I never ever had time for XD XD XD However... I have 2 weeks to do them all... x_x and I work half of those days x_X AND I have work in 6 hours. X_X At least I got the new Lagoon Engine layout done.
