Long time no see

Wow, I'm really bad at this. I forget to update, and then I don't feel like updating anymore because too much time has passed. But enough of that, I'm starting to miss blogging about random stuff.

So anyway, my cosplay plans have changed. I'm not doing Ciel anymore, I want to do him justice but it would be way too expensive and time consuming.So I have decided to do Youmu Konpaku instead, for the Touhou Project games. In fact I started playing like 2 weeks ago xD I beat Imperishable Night on easy last week. Right now I'm playing Perfect Cherry Blossom on easy, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil on normal [beat it on easy last week too] and Imperishable Night on normal. I'd like to play Perfect Cherry Blossom on normal but it's way harder than the other 2. I rarely even get to Youmu [stage 5 boss].

 Youmuuu :D

Anyway, so I have found the wig and the color contacts that I want, and I'll go buy some fabric next week. I also started searching on the web for a nice blouse in case I don't find one here [I don't want to make it, I don't think I'm good enough yet, but I can make a skirt and a vest]. So I went on Bodyline's website and found some nice ones but .. They're all way too big! What the hell .. Usually with Bodyline, the smallest size is M but for skirts and dresses it fits me. But for blouse, the bust is like 10 cm too big. It seems that we can adjust them in the back though, and maybe they listed the biggest mesurement, not the smallest.

Ugh, I have so much to do today and no motivation .. maybe I'll post again later..

So..

2010 has come and gone now. I can honestly say that it was one of the best year in my life. Sure, it had it's load of bad stuff but I retrospective it was pretty good overall. I can only hope for 2011 to be even better!

Anyway, I didn't do anything special on New Year's Eve. I watched a movie named Mein Name ist Bach, which is obviously a movie about the compositor Johann Sebastian Bach and, guess who? Frederick II of Prussia! Hehehe. It was pretty good, my mom loved it. I loved it too, I mean, a movie with der alter Fritz! Of course I have to love it. Even though Fritz was kinda portrayed as the ''bad guy''. While I'm sure Fritz was rather autoritarian, I believe he never was as mean and egoistic as he was in this movie. But yeah, that's just me, you know I like him a lot so obviously I don't think he's cruel or anything.

So yeah, on the first I saw my family and it was nice, there were some people I hadn't talked to in a long time and I kinda missed them. I dressed really aristocratic, with my pocket watch and all, it was awesome. That night I watched Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain with my cousin. I realized that when I saw that movie has a kid, I never fully understood it .. now I think I do. It's really good in any case. I love how it manages to be a love movie without being completely cheesy, it's a nice change.

Anyway, yesterday I saw yet another movie, this time in theatres with one of my friend. We went to see Tangled, Raiponce in french [what an ugly name, I prefer Rapunzel ..]. It was much better than I expected! Maybe it's just me but I think it has the overall ''feel'' of older disney movies [like snow white or cinderella]. Even the animation is similar, it's the same style of drawing, but in 3D. There's even songs! Yeah, a classic Disney movie, I recommend it, it's really good.

Before that though, I went shopping with my parents and we went to Fabricville to buy, well, fabrics. And patterns. I bought a pattern for 3 lolita-ish skirts. They're a bit too short to be truly lolita but otherwise they have the right shape and all! It's apparently easy too. Also, I saw a pattern for historical 18th century clothes, and it really looks like the prussian uniform if we changed the colors! Since it was at halfprice I also bought it. I definitely want to do a Prussia cosplay now. The difficulty is average so I'll wait a bit though. But it's cool, the pattern includes everything, the tricorne hat, the jacket, the shirt, the vest and the pants. Oh yeah, the uniform I'm talking about is pretty much this one :

I'll need to change the jacket a bit and make the white thingy from scratch, aswell as the jabot but otherwise I've got everything. Also I want to make that decoration thing he has, and GILBIRD. WITH A TRICORNE HAT. OH YEAH. Can't be a Prussia without a chick~

I'm really motivated right now, if you can't guess XD This entry is getting long so I'll stop it there. I should make a new design for this blog .. anyway.

aah mrs. pumpkin.

Yesterday, we had a Halloween Party at school. I had decided to dress up as a british boy from the victorian era, or, more exactly, as Ciel Phantomhive [without the wig and the awesome shirt that I shall buy eventually]. So yeah, I got a lot a compliments, especially for my mini hat.

Otherwise the party itself .. was okay. I'm not the party type really :\ I mean, we had free food, which is ALWAYS good, but yeah, I mostly talked with the same 3-4 persons. I'm glad I went though, it was fun to see everyone's costume. Some were way awesome, like the guy that dressed as Wilhem II [sounds so weird to call him that, since in french is name is Guillaume II, but oh well] Anyway if you don't know who that is [and I bet you don't], it's the german emperor that was in charge during World War 1. I should have dressed as Frederick the Great, dammit!

Since today was the last day of school before Halloween, I decided to dress up as ''Ciel'' again. There were a few others people that were dressed up as well, which was nice. A lot of random people told me they liked my hat XD I guess I should wear it more often ..

Anyway, I'm happy now since I have an entire week of holiday to look forward! I really needed that break .. I was getting more and more tired everyday. It also means that the semester is halfway done, which is good because I'm actually looking forward to university. Speaking of which, some guy told me that I should try to go to McGill University .. That'd be pretty awesome actually .. But, it's a bit too expensive for me, even though I could get a scholarship, since I have pretty good marks. Still, I think it'll wait for after my bachelor's degree.

And thaaat's about it. Tomorrow I'll carve a pumpkin and get in the mood for Halloween! I should search for more Halloween-esque songs .. Right now I'm listening to Hatsune Miku's Mrs. Pumpkin's Funny Dream, which is an awesome song with a very creepy tone.

Uuuh that's about it!
