Happy Serenade is happy ^_^

A user on Devart, LordDragonMaster, has been, for the past while (exact length not really know) writing a manga called 'Demon Candy' - A Manga which I wait for every page with bated breath simply for the art, and oh so awesome content.

I'd go into details, but the content is a biiit beyond being considered 'safe' (deals mostly with bondage, S&M - etc.)

Anyways, LDM set up a mini contest of sorts, saying 'Hey, wanna appear in a panel?'

He set it up so that a grand total of only 90 people could submit an image to get their character/image in.

I submitted the images that Meng drew for me, and in all honesty, I wasn't very hopeful.

The Final List

I made third panel ^^
"Would you like something to drink?" She opened the fridge. "We have water, milk, juice, spiders, Dr. Pepper-"
"Spiders?"
"Spiders it is then."
"No, that wasn't-"
But she was already pouring him a brimming glass of spiders.

Third panel, #28 - above the girl with the really really crazy eyes (Or it might be a guy =/)

Apparently I look like the Fonz (according to a certain Pichu)
-------------------------

On an unrelated note, I demand booze and celebrations! I just made my first actual sale! =D

I may have mentioned that I sold someone SmartFriend - but they refunded it...

<.<

This case was different - sold some guy a 1year extended warranty with[i/] Accidental Damage Protection.

Needless tos ay, that's another $300 in HP's wallet :lol:

And to prove that I'm on a roll, I just made, get this, another sale.

Some guy calls us up, saying he's having trouble with his Backup software on his computer - However, we at HP could care less about someone's data, and instead, would rather just try and get a program to work at least a bit more properly.

Guy mentions that he's backing up using DVDs. Something dings in my head.

^_^: Say... Do you have an External Hard Drive?
:huh:: Um... No, no I don't.
^_^: Well... HP currently has a sale going on with our personal media drives... For instance, for $139.99 (USD) plus shipping and handling, we can send you a 1 Terrabyte (1,000 Gigabytes) external hard drive - (That holds 200+ DVD/Rs/100+ Dual Layer DVDs/around 10 Blu-ray discs).

He sounded interested, I tohught I'd made a sale.

No... This guy ACTUALLY said:
:huh: 'Well... do you have anything bigger?'
^_^: Well, we have a 2TB drive for $207.99
:huh: Yeah, sure, that sounds good.

CA-FREAKING-CHING.

Not only that, he wanted it shipped to his Malibu house in two days.
That's $19.99 extra Revgen for me.

Ca-chingle bells, ca-chingle bells... ca-chingle all the waaaaaay

So, I just learned that my grandpa is willing to save me some money when I finally build a new computer.

Namely, by sending parts he already has on-hand.

He'll also pick up and parts I ask him for, with me paying for it later.

Which means I save money AND don't need to save up for next Friday - I can literally just say 'When do you want money?' and then set aside money like that.

Yeah, having grandparents in the computer business rocks.

So, I recently sent my 'wishlist' to my grandpa.
Let's share it - cause this is the minimum that this new PC will be able to do:

PART LIST:

Processor:
AMD - 3.0ghz

Memory:
3gb DDR2

Video Card:
Something with 2x DVI.

Wireless Card

Motherboard:
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3 ATX DDR3 790FX 4PCI-E16 2PCI SATA2 eSATA Motherboard
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...anufacture=ASUS

Hard Drive:
2x250 gb - to run RAID 1

Power Supply - Standard?

Case. ((I'm getting this free for certain))

Cooling - Standard as well?

DVD/RW Burner
------------------------

If my grandpa thinks of anyhting else, he's likely to contact me on that.

Oh, and if you're wondering what DVIx2 is:

DVIx2 would let me do this: Dual Monitor Extended Display

Be a nice machine. Probably need a 400-450 watt Power supply, though

So, after some random discussion, I already have my Cosplay lineup prepared for Anime North 2010! -blows unrolly party noisemaker thing-

Anime North 2010 is going to have a rather nice costume lineup, as this time, I'll be buying much of my costumes online (since my fashion sense failed me badly with my other costumes)

There are also going to be four costumes. Yes. Four costumes for three days. time for the lineup!

In this corner, weighing in at a palsy 125lbs, standing at around 5'9", and overall, having no self-esteem or confidence whatsoever, let's give a big hand for the Butt Monkey of the Universe! Shiiiiiiiiiiinji Ikariiii!

Posted Image

I found a site that will sell me a Shinji Plugsuit for around $100. And it looks pretty good as well. The site also sells A-10 nerve clips for cheap (hair clips).

Why Shinji and not the Hot Headed Asuka, the Level-Headed Rei, or the Ultra-Smexy Super Awesome Kaworu? Because Shinji is the only one I can really really impersonate.
-----------------

In this next corner, weight unknown, history unknown, past unknown, adn possibly real name unknown, the Hunter Herself, Give it up for Rip! Van! Winkle!

Posted Image

I'll need to procure an antique gun and wig myself, but as for the costume, I'm uncertain how that'll be done. Eh. It's a flat-chested twig of a woman. I could pull it off.
------------------------

Next! For a limited time only (since this costume will be hot as all hell) let's give it up for the enigmatic hermetic 14th member of The Organization! Give it up for Number XIV! Xiiiiiion!

Posted Image

Simple enough. Just need the coat (about $150 USD).
May hunt down a Keyblade. Uncertain.
------------------

And lastly, the grand finale... totalling at around maybe 4', Let's hear it! For the Queen Bitch of the Universe herself! Suigintou!

[Details later, gotta run.]

And now the long-awaited details:

That costume is going to easily be the most expensive of the set, as the site I'm ordering it from has the BRILLIANT idea to not sell everything in something akin to a value pack. I can place the Wig, Shoes and dress in one large order (the dress has wings built right in) but I'll obviously be losing out a bit.

The great thing about the Rozen Maiden dolls is that they are all of the flat-chested variety (they're dolls after all) so I can really pull off any one of the seven with a wig, dress and shoes.

No. I will never do Hinaichigo. Too much pink. And annoying.

Two things quickly:

First, I just made an epic sale ^^

500 GB Hard drive AND a Home Premium Docking Solution. A sale concluded earlier as well which was a 3 year care pack for some guy with 1 day left on his warranty.

Grand total of today's sales? $700. No. Really.
----------

Next Bit?

Place Your Votes :P

Dolls 1 and 6 are off the list.

Suigintou is already guaranteed after all.
And Hinaichigo can go die in a fire.

Shinji plans - cancelled.
It would require me either shelling out $100 to a cosplay company that's shaky to believe in, or shelling out $260 for a costume that looks perfect.

Yeah, NEXT.

I still have a way to get the other costumes, and I may add Sawyer the Cleaner from Black Lagoon to the list.

In a nutshell - crazy girl who speaks through an electronic voicebox, and performs her 'cleaning' with a chainsaw.

Ok, the new list is in now (With the last one a bit tentative due to pricing but hot DAMN does it look good)

-Suigintou (She's staying no matter what)
-Rip Van Winkle (Need to commission someone to do that)
-Xion (Just need a coat =p)
-Ciel Phantomhive (This would cost more than the Shinji Plugsuit, but this one is REALLY intricate and will also likely come with a wig)

Yeah, having grandparents in the computer business rocks.

Wow... I feel really old now... computers were still room-sized behemoths when my grandparents died... I was actually old enough to play on a C64 when that model was the great new thing...

Then again, I suppose I am old enough that I could be someone's grandmother... but i'm not, coz i'm child-free...

Things like someone's grandparent being in the computer field really does send me for a bit of a shock... okay, i'll recover.

Part of me says this is a Darwin Award.
Part of me says it doesn't qualify, as it was an accident.

And, for a bit of fun, I give you the order form for the first set of cosplay items (it's in my account with HelloCosplay, so It's going to be like that if I log out, and then I can easily process the order when the paypal transaction clears)

-sigh- Why won't the AN staff hurry up...

Some history:

A few days ago, I took the closet door out of my room, as the door wasn't staying in (and scarily, it stood perfectly on an inward angle because of the pile of clothes inside the closet propping the door up)

I decided that, since I was doing Suigintou and Xion at Anime North, that I'd take those doors (as they were made of wood) and turn them into a Kingdom Key and Suigintou's Sword

I mentioned the idea to my dad, mostly asking if we had any wood cutting, carving and detailing tools. He said that those doors were hollow and wouldn't make good weapons.

He then said that he wanted me to print pictures of said weapons.

I did - then he said 'Ok, sure, I'll take these to a machine shop and see what I can do'

That would just be awesome - can you imagine essentially carrying a steel broadsword or a steel keyblade around?

Well... there was a hitch.

In looking through some old convention books (which have rules and regulations) I saw one weapon that caused my happy little moment of ecstasy to plummet:

4. NO Metal Weapons. This includes, but is not limited to swords, knives and daggers (Plastic or wood that LOOKS like metal is permitted)

This Basically meant that my dad - my dad, who hates Anime, Video Games and Conventions with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns - wouldn't be able to make these in a machine shop.

However, then I checked the Anime North official website, and noticed no such 'No Metal' rule. I suppose that's a good thing, cause that means I can come to Anime North with Rammstein and Sonata Arctica on my MP3 player (-ba-dun-tish-)

Now, if I was an impetuous youth, I would take that to mean 'Haha, it doesn't say anything about metal, that means I can have a steel broadsword and a steel keyblade'

Yes. And then what happens when they do update the rules and it turns out those hours in the machine shop were wasted? Or worse, not seeing the rules update and then having to return the painstakingly crafted weapons to the hotel room on the first day of the convention?

So, rather, I fired off an e-mail to the designated Weapons Master of AN asking about:
-Whether the missing rule is a typo or not.
-Whether Weapons can be made of metal
-Whether weapons can have any metal.

I'm personally hoping to get approval on the third one at least - the handles are the trickier parts of these weapons after all. The blades can easily be made with wood, wood glue, some putty, and fiberglass for extra strength. My dad said he could make the handles out of steel no problem after all.

I really hope I hear from them soon - I'm placing my order for the costume in 8 days after all.

Then in about another month, I'll have some of my cosplay stuff. And yes. I will be showing it all off.

...

...

...

Those heels are gonna be a b*tch ._.
