  <title>Weather woes or 15 reasons why I&apos;ll probably be sick on Christmas</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/376183.html</link>
  <description>On Monday when I left for Orlando it was about...&amp;nbsp; I&apos;ll say 54 degrees outside.&amp;nbsp; I took my fall coat and my Tokyo track jacket for when I came back (cause I figured it would probably be a little cold when I&amp;nbsp;got back).&amp;nbsp; When I&amp;nbsp;got to Orlando it was about 82 degrees at the airport.&amp;nbsp; I put my back fall coat in my luggage and only had on the Tokyo jacket, which instantly took off when I walked outside.&amp;nbsp; Tuesday is was a roasty 83 in Orlando.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m not one for hot weather even in the summer, so you know it blew my mind to have that in the middle of December.&amp;nbsp; I think Wednesday is cooled down to like 73 (a 10 degree difference from the day before) and when Jose and I had gone to Geranimal Kingdom the temperature dropped down to something like the mid to upper 60&apos;s.&amp;nbsp; Oh and as an added bonus we got on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/animal-kingdom/attractions/kali-river-rapids/&quot;&gt;River Rapids water ride&lt;/a&gt; while it was that cool out (double trouble!).&amp;nbsp; Thursday it was still pretty cool and raining as we went to Epcrotch for the last time.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday, was kinda cool in Orlando, but damp (I&apos;d missed the early morning rain), but as the plane prepares to take off, the pilot informs us that the temperature here in Philly is a balmy 23!&amp;nbsp;   Me and the woman sitting behind me both say and sounding quite horrified too &amp;quot;23?!&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Oh snap!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So once Mom comes and picks me up from the airport she tells me that there is a snow storm-a-comin&apos;.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m at this point like, what the hell?!&amp;nbsp; Which brings us to approximately 23 inches of snow here in sunny Philadelphia yesterday!&amp;nbsp;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, yes I&amp;nbsp;understand that people crave the whole &amp;quot;white Christmas&amp;quot; deal, but naw Dude, I&apos;m totally not feeling snow &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEFORE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt; it&apos;s officially winter (the 1st day of winter is today).&amp;nbsp; And I&apos;m certainly not into snow before January, it&apos;s just not natural.&amp;nbsp; Oh well, there&apos;s nothing I&amp;nbsp;can do about it now.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m just hoping I&amp;nbsp;won&apos;t get a cold, but with all those seriously dramatic jumps and drops in temperature, I&apos;m more than likely going to get a really bad cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit&lt;/strong&gt;- I just found out that winter didn&apos;t begin today it actually begins tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; Oh that&apos;s a mess!&amp;nbsp; Since when does Philly get late fall snow?!</description>

  <title>And I&apos;m home!</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/375806.html</link>
  <description>I missed you dear sweet LJ...&amp;nbsp; These last four days without you have been so difficult.&amp;nbsp; You don&apos;t realize how dependent on internet you are until you don&apos;t have it.&amp;nbsp; But the resort we stayed in at Disney World, charged $10 dollars a day for it and they didn&apos;t have free computers to use either so I&amp;nbsp;was internet-less all week long.&amp;nbsp; Ugh it was hell.&amp;nbsp; Never again do I want to stay at a Disney resort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&apos;s so much I&amp;nbsp;want to talk about but I&apos;m exhausted.&amp;nbsp; Plus I come back home and hear news about a blizzard heading this way.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s like hey, I&amp;nbsp;just left like 70 degree weather to come back to have Jack Frost not nipping but taking huge chunks off my nose, my ears, my neck...&amp;nbsp; He&apos;s like a zombie, that guy!&amp;nbsp; Oh well, I did concede to Jose that after we&apos;re married, I wouldn&apos;t mind living in Orlando.&amp;nbsp; At least it&apos;s a city and he&apos;d be near a major airport so we get the best of both worlds.</description>

  <title>Vacation&apos;s all I ever wanted!  Vacation have to get away!</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/375350.html</link>
  <description>So, I just finished Business Law up.  Yeah, these last two weeks have been rough.  My professor tried to screw me over on my paper.  He tried to dock me 10 points for supposedly not getting his permission on it, which I did (And when I saw that I quickly email him and forwarded the email messages from November 10th!)  The nerve of some people, honestly!  And yes, he did give me my 10 points back for that.  Then the dueling 50&apos;s was horrible.  However, the comeback queen busted the last two tests out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The extra credit, which by the way covered the final two units and the last 9 chapters of the book and weren&apos;t required reading mind you, I got an 80 on.  Then the final quiz.  A quiz I had been dreading all day might I add.  What did I get?  Oh just 100!  Muhahahahaha!  Even before factoring in the this week&apos;s discussion, 5% extra credit test and the final quiz my grade stood at a 91%, so it will be a low A, but an A none the less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally now I chill and go to Florida in peace.  Not to mention let my brain slide into a fine sludge.  As they use to say in the 80&apos;s, &amp;quot;It&apos;s Miller time!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit&lt;/strong&gt;- The final grades for business law are posted and the verdict...   *Insert drum roll*  96.50%.  Wai!  I worked like a beaver but it was more than worth it!</description>

  <title>A classic chibi Aa-chan moment...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/374940.html</link>
  <description>Ok, Mom told me this classic Aa-chan as a child story a few days ago and I just had to share it with you.  But before I share it with you I have to give you a little back-story about it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was about 2 or so, my brother and I went to visit some of my mom&apos;s relatives in Albany, Georgia.  I have a long memory and I still vaguely remember this trip even though I was only 2 years old (It all seems like a dream now).  I remember three key things, coming out of some bar with one of my aunts and something about going outside and seeing a dirt road and railroad tracks.  I remember my brother playing Connect Four with some girl.  And I remember crying and screaming my head off cause my great-grandmother had given me the spanking of a lifetime.  But I don&apos;t remember what facilitated said beatdown.  That is until Mom reminded me of this classic tale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here I was in Albany, Georgia with all these super weird people, two years old, and happily sucking away on my bottle when my great-grandmother proceeds to take my bottle, because she thinks I&apos;m too old to be still drinking from a bottle.  So apparently (never being one to hide my disgust very well) I proceed to look dead at my great-grandmother and tell her and I quote, &amp;quot;Give me back my damn bottle!&amp;quot;  Needless to say great-granny wasn&apos;t amused so I got the beatdown of the century for being fresh.  When I think about it, I remember vaguely saying that to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well...  When Mom told me that story we were both in tears laughing.  Man, I guess I&apos;ve always had a little bit of a mouth on me when I&apos;m disgusted.</description>

  <title>Hit it and quit it...  Well almost...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/373820.html</link>
  <description>Well I hit the 7 page requirement for my business law paper.  I&apos;m actually up to the 8th page now.  Oh I am so glad he dropped this paper from 10 pages.  If I had to actually write two more pages of this clap trap I would go insane.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember how I said I wanted to go to school for Business Law?  Not that that&apos;s my major, but remember when I said that?  Well I take that back now.  Law stuff is tedious!  Ugh and reading those Bill Gates depositions (cause I chose to do my paper on the Microsoft Anti-Trust trial) was enough to make me loose my mind.  All that playing dumb was driving me crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well anyway, I&apos;m nearly done with this paper and I can&apos;t wait until its completely finished.  I&apos;ll have a crap ton of work to do on the works cited page, but eh, what can you do.  After this is over I still have to read 3 more chapters of business law stuff and take the quiz and that&apos;s just covering last week I haven&apos;t even started week 7&apos;s (the final week) work yet.  Plus I still have last weeks&apos;s IT stuff to do, which includes a 2-3 paged paper and a quiz.  Thankfully, for IT all I have this week is the final and then I&apos;m done.  Business Law goes until Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit&lt;/strong&gt;- On Friday I&apos;m going to go get some new contacts and a new pair of glasses.  I think the beginning of next year I&apos;ll be super hyper poor, so I want to get my eyes checked before that happens.</description>

  <title>Stuff....</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/373546.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;ve been working on my business law paper all day.  I went from having 1 page to 4 pages in those 6 hours I started working on it; and I only three more pages to go before I hit the requirement.  Hopefully I can extend it just a little.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m really proud of myself about today.  I only spent 6 hours today goofing off (Really eating and relaxing), the rest of the day was spent actually doing research and writing for this paper.  I actually really resisted the urge to make myself distracted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In trying to find a menu for food in my room I ended up finding my missing yellow memory card for my PS2!  Oh thank God, now I don&apos;t have to replay all those games.  Especially NeoContra, the Devil May Oink series, Dead to Rights (especially that bomb dismantling part!!!), or Ark of Napishtim.  Oh and that really weird game, Shadow of Destiny.  Which I still have two endings I have to get on that game, but that&apos;s probably not going to happen.  Maybe after school&apos;s out, I&apos;ll play some of my old games.  I guess I need to unpack my PS2 from my still packed Princeton stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jose called today, which put me in a really good mood...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it snowing outside?  I don&apos;t even want to hear about snow until January!  Snow in December isn&apos;t natural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m really tired, but I&apos;m going to keep plugging away at this paper.  If I can get it done tonight, that&apos;s one less thing I have to worry about tomorrow and Monday.  Especially since I still have a butt load of work to do.</description>

  <title>Now I&apos;m mad! (The overacheiver addition)</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/373358.html</link>
  <description>Remember how I said I ended up failing my business law quiz for last week.  Well it gets better.  He docked me a whole point on the discussion because I didn&apos;t &amp;quot;spread the topics out&amp;quot;.  Dude!  I always answer the questions on either one or two days, why the sudden docking?!  I think he did that because I had done so well up until that point just to make me have to work 10 times harder at the end.  So now I&apos;ve gone from a cushy A to a B+, which has me wanting to stab someone.  So this next quiz, the final paper, and the final quiz, the final 4 discussions, and the extra credit test are all going to have to be marvelous if I want to get my A back.  Last semester I finished with 2 B&apos;s (which dragged my overall GPA down several points), I swore this semester I would get A&apos;s, so let&apos;s get back on that overachiever horse and kick some Business Law ass!</description>

  <title>Last day in Orlando</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/372892.html</link>
  <description>So today is my last day.  I decided instead of toiling away at my school work I was going to cut loose and go to the swimming pool, which is divine by the way.  The water is so warm and lovely.  I&apos;ll have to take a few pictures of the pool today before we go back to Disney World for the last day of shenanigans.  Tuesday we went to Hollywood studios, yesterday was the Magic Kingdom, and today is Epcot center and dinner at a Habachi grill.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its been a really nice time this week.  Jose said that he&apos;ll be here on assignment for the next two weeks (the New York City project fell through until next year), so he said he was going to try to bring me back down for another week, but try really hard to get the ticket down for a Sunday.  Wai!  Like I said, maybe if that pans out, I&apos;ll just pony up my own dough to go to Universal Studios.  I mean Disney was fun, but I really want to hit that park.  It looks like they have a lot more fun rides.  I&apos;ve been trying to convince him to not buy a season pass to Disney World next year, but instead get a season pass to Universal.  Besides, he said that he and the boys have been there so much that it&apos;s kinda old hat.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well anyway, Disney was fun.  I think the scariest ride (apart from me almost having a heartattack on Splash Mountain) was Small World.  It really was like that Simpsons episode at Duff Gardens.  Haunted Mansion ride kept reminding me of a way less scary version of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH46ho_X3bM&quot;&gt;Borley Haunted Mansion&lt;/a&gt; part on Silent Hill 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh crap, I have to get ready to try to make a gingerbread house here at the resort.  Let me get dressed and go.</description>

  <title>Lizards, lizards everywhere</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/372659.html</link>
  <description>I was walking around the resort yesterday and I noticed all these tiny little Lizards everywhere.  They live in the shrubs here and occasionally they&apos;ll peek out and then scurry back into the shrubs.  One let me take a picture of it.  I had to do an ultra zoom to get a close up of it, but it still looks far away.  I wanted to move a little close to it, but I knew it would never let me do that, so the ultra zoom would have to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&apos;re so cute these little lizards.  Especially the super tiny baby lizards.  I want to take them home with me.  But I&apos;m sure neither TSA, Mom, or the cats would be amused.  Well the cats would, cause they would probably end up kill them, but I know TSA and Mom wouldn&apos;t be.</description>

  <title>Traveling on an awful day</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/372298.html</link>
  <description>Oh yesterday was a terrible day.  I brutally failed one of my Business Law quizzes, I had knocked over the cat litter bag and some of it spilled onto the floor, which I had to vacuum up, I ended up having a major breakdown about the test right before I had to leave for the airport, then having to go through TSA, which is always a major pain in the butt.  Then some dude all tries to get me to get a credit card out of nowhere.  I just barely make in time to board the plane after that fiasco.  I get on the plane only to find out that I have the dreaded middle seat.  The flight was bumpy most of the way cause of the weather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully once I got into Orlando things calmed down.  Well sorta.  Jose was on a mission from God to get the tickets to go to Medieval Knights but he had to get them from Triple A, something about a really good discount or whatever.  The problem was Triple A closed at 5:30 and we were kinda far from it; so to get there in time he was driving like a bat out of hell.  I told him, why didn&apos;t you just crash into the Triple A building and save time.  But it worked out since he made there, just in the nick of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So after that we check in to the hotel dump our stuff, I got changed into Rosenrot, but in all the rushing I forgot my digi-cami.  So I don&apos;t have pictures of Medieval Knights (Which is a lot of fun by the way).  As we were leaving out of Medieval Knights, some girl noticed I was in Lolita and she high-fived me, which was cool.  So the day did get better, its just the majority of it was a fiasco.  But at least I made it here safely.  I&apos;ll make sure I take lots of pictures when I&apos;m out.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The majority of my day here alone will be spent doing homework, which sucks.  But Jose said he would be here for an additional two weeks and that his last week here he would fly me down, which will be great.  That was I don&apos;t have blow exploring time doing school work since I&apos;ll be on winter break.  Ooh and hopefully I&apos;ll have a little bit of money so I can go to Universal Studios too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, I have a ton of homework to do and considering the grade I got on yesterday&apos;s quiz I need to study a lot harder.  And then tonight I&apos;ll go to Disney World and cut loose.</description>

  <title>Off I go into the wild blue yonder...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/372185.html</link>
  <description>I will be leaving tomorrow to spend a couple days in Orlando, FL.  I&apos;m really excited.  Anytime I get to travel is always cause to be excited and then anytime I get to travel and be with Jose is just perfect.  Let&apos;s hope that this time when I go to Florida there&apos;s not going to be another hurricane situation like when I went to Jacksonville last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still need to pack and get the rest of my homework assignments for this week done.  We&apos;re coming to the tail end of the semester and then a nice long and very much needed 4 week break, so I&apos;m getting into that super lazy, I don&apos;t wanna phase.  And working on my final paper for Business Law while being in Orlando is going to be a bear and a half, but it will have to be done.  I&apos;ll be able to knock it out if I force myself, besides, I&apos;ll be taking Melchior with me so that makes things a lot easier.</description>

  <title>Still not right, but at a little better.</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/371799.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;ll have more tales from Usa in a little while...  Right now still don&apos;t have the proper brain capacity to do a full discussion.  Although I finally have enough intelligence to form proper sentences, which was more than I can say about me yesterday after I got home. I think I had seriously enough intelligence to run my vital organs and that was about all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the 4 something in the morning panel never went down, despite me staying up ALL night for it.  What happened (the condensed version) was I was never told what room to report to for the panel, went to a room and sat there for awhile, but there was another panel in that room.  I left to try to find what other rooms were available, but the other two panels rooms had panels going on in them and neither panel looked like they were ending soon, so I gave up and went to bed.  So much for trying to do the right thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will never ever again in life stay up that late, especially at a convention, for three reasons, 1st being I&apos;m just too old for that trash, 2nd ugh, I forget that&apos;s usually when the drunk/ high kids are up meandering around the con and the conversations that go on that late are really sad (i.e. the high dude on the elevator who was on the phone trying to order food), and the 3rd reason is staying up that late makes me feel like I have had decades taken off my life.  I went to bed at 7:50 on the dot last night and didn&apos;t wake up until my alarm sounded at 8:30 this morning and I still don&apos;t feel rested.  Even now I want to take a nap (which I may well do).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that&apos;s a good idea and I think I&apos;ll do that right now.</description>

  <title>The Usa fiasco weekend continues...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/371560.html</link>
  <description>Well, we&apos;re knee deep in this mess now.  Apparently there&apos;s a new problem with the fashion show where they moved cosplay back, which the room that&apos;s the cosplay overflow room is also the room where the fashion show is to take place.  So if they moved cosplay back, then that moves the fashion show back...  Poor Yuuki is so frustrated and rightly so I just wish there was something I could do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently he&apos;s not the only one having problems.  According to several other panelists, the scheduling has people up until 5:30 in the morning doing panels.  In fact I have a 4:30 am panel because when I signed up the website said, if you 3 or more panels then you can be an associate.  Fast forward to last Saturday, I get an email saying that you are only able to get an associate badge if you do 6 hours or more of panels.  Basically I had to agree to do 1 extra, super mega butt late at night (or early in the morning depending how you look at it) panel.  In fact it&apos;s the 2nd round of the Geezer&apos;s panel.  I&apos;m calling it Geezer&apos;s panel 2: The Drunks Ahoy Addition!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the up side, the Villain&apos;s panel went well...  Some people didn&apos;t stay, but most did.  I think everyone enjoyed it and I didn&apos;t stay confined just to anime.  I talked about video games too.  Just to stretch the topics out and go a little bit longer.  The downside of that panel was Melchior got stage fright and wouldn&apos;t play the Utena clip I wanted, also that panel was in the &amp;quot;tv room&amp;quot;.  Why do I call it, the &amp;quot;tv room&amp;quot;?  Because instead of a screen to hook your computer up to, its a television.  And not a nice flat screen either, its an old school tv from like the late 90&apos;s.  And Melchior doesn&apos;t have an S video cable feed.  Ugh, it was a mess indeed, but it worked out.  I have &lt;strike&gt;two&lt;/strike&gt;...  Scratch that, three more panels to go before I hang myself from the terrace outside, but I&apos;m sure I&apos;ll make them work.  Hell, I got the villains one to work and I didn&apos;t even really know what I was talking about for that panel, the other topics I&apos;m a little more comfortable with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite it all, I&apos;m managing to have a good time.  The Host Club was fun last night (I&apos;ll talk more about that later on) and seeing people I haven&apos;t seen all year has been a lot of fun.  I miss the social aspect of going to a con and I didn&apos;t have a lot of that when I went to Anime Next this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More to come...  Stay tuned.  Right now its naptime!</description>

  <title>Oh dear...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/371336.html</link>
  <description>I don&apos;t know guys...  I really don&apos;t know...  I think Usa may end up getting the dreaded worse con of the year award.  This has been a fiasco and a half (and its only Friday).  Bad scheduling, mis-information on panel/ associates badges, and lots of chaos.  I&apos;m shocked and appalled.  I really do expect better from Usa and this is a dark day for my favorite con.  You know its bad when you go to the Programming Ops room and people have that &amp;quot;why God, why?!&amp;quot; look and it was only Friday afternoon.</description>

  <title>Uhhh, I need to check that more often...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/370735.html</link>
  <description>I have email through my school, but I never look at it.  I think the last time I checked my email was sometime in the early part of summer...  Looking at the date it had to be July 10th.  But when I looked today I saw that I missed out on a boat load of things. I missed invitations, parties, events...  Hell I even missed a letter from the school saying I had a $600 dollar credit to the bookstore (Oh snap)!  Oh well, I guess I&apos;ll be checking that more often from now on...</description>

  <title>Spring (registration) is in the air</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/370481.html</link>
  <description>So I have my roster for spring...  Ugh, we&apos;re getting into the nitty-gritty of it now.  If I pass all of my next couple of classes, then I will have just 5 more classes to go before graduation.  Wow, that was fast wasn&apos;t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here&apos;s my roster for Spring 2010 sessions one and two starting January 11th:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Applied Management Concepts (Online)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Macroeconomics 101- Thursday 8:30 AM- 12:30 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spring session two starting March 8th&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Microeconomics 102 (Online)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethical Management of IT- 8:30 AM- 12:30 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus I may or may not be taking Statics at CCP in the spring too.  Ugh...  This is going to be pretty hardcore.</description>

  <title>That was weird...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/370057.html</link>
  <description>I just woke up from a much needed nap (I had a horrible nights sleep last night) and the dream I woke up from was really, really weird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened was I was in New York around Bryant Park on the big wedding day.  I&apos;m in my dress and I see all these other brides around in their dresses.  Some were finishing getting married, some were on their way to their ceremony, it was really weird.  So I get a moment to myself and I run outside of the hotel I was in and I see even more brides, doing things.  Note there was this really sexy guy with blue eyes and medium length dusty blonde hair (kinda rugged looking oh he was sexy) laying on the ground with some lady in a white trumpet style wedding dress.  After I dash past them I see...  Of all people, the mother from the Cosby show, arguing about how she wanted her daughter to look on her wedding day.  Something was wrong with her dress I don&apos;t know what it was, but it there was a problem.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I go past her, I see a huge dress bag draped across this stair railing.  Up the stairs I can hear all these people talking about a bridal photoshoot (thus explains why there are so many women in wedding dresses around).  But no one is guarding this lone wedding dress, so I take it and I run to put it on.  So now I&apos;m in this red and white dress (similar to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marysbridal.com/bridal/7974.htm&quot;&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt; with the red back) and I&apos;m running all around happy as a lark.  However after running around for awhile I go to look for my dress and I can&apos;t find it.  Right before I wake up I&apos;m in a bridal store with David Tutera (I&apos;ve been watching &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt; too many episodes of My Fair Weddings) and he&apos;s telling me that he knows I didn&apos;t like my dress...  That&apos;s when I woke up like, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no idea what this dream is supposed to mean?  Could it mean something&apos;s going on with my dress and I need to call and check up on it?  Could it mean something about the original dress which I&apos;m taking with me to AUSA this weekend?  Could it mean I&apos;ve been watching way too many wedding programs (Say Yes to the Dress, My Fair Weddings, Bridezillas, Platinum Weddings, Battle of the Wedding Planners...)  Yes these are my regularly scheduled programs and it would be this way even without being engaged, it&apos;s probably the latter.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what the dream moods website says about wedding dresses and what those dreams mean:&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#0066cc&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To     wear a wedding dress in your dream, indicates that you are evaluating and     assessing your personal relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#0066cc&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To     see someone else wearing a wedding dress, suggests that you are feeling     inferior or unworthy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe this has to do with my underlying concerns with Anime Usa, but really I just don&apos;t care about that anymore.  Either way, it was a really strange dream.</description>

  <title>Usa preparation</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/369626.html</link>
  <description>Ugh there is still so much I have to do and I have like zero in terms of time.  So here&apos;s the long and the short of it.  I will probably be in Lolita for most of the weekend and it&apos;s nothing new (since I&apos;ve been so super poor this year), but sometimes breaking out the classics is good too.  I have been debating if I want to/ can attend the Gear Master&apos;s Ball on Friday night.  And what I was thinking was wearing the 1st wedding gown I purchased as my attire for that event.  I mean since I can&apos;t seem to sell the stupid thing I may as well get some use out of it, right?  So I may do that.  I was going to bring Queen Esther, but I really don&apos;t feel like getting that out of storage (basically) nor do I feel like trying to squeeze the two underskirts into my luggage.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again no cosplay...  I&apos;m really beginning to come to terms with my not doing cosplay anymore.  I&apos;m not sure if it has to do with lack of liking shows or lack of liking characters or what the deal is, I just know I haven&apos;t been terribly interested in cosplay these days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let me think off the top of my head what I&apos;ll be wearing/ bringing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Rosenrot (Rose Red) Lolita- Maybe change into this after I arrive on Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Ralph Wiggum (Casual) Lolita- Planning on wearing this to the Geezer&apos;s panel Friday Evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Gear Master&apos;s Ball- My original wedding dress (just so it doesn&apos;t rot to death in the closet)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Black and white Meta Jsk- Saturday morning for the Pure Evil Panel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Pink strawberry Innocent World Jsk- Saturday night for the Lolita panel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Blue Girl- My very first Lolita dress I ever made. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that&apos;s more than enough entertainment for the weekend.</description>

  <title>The Usa schedule...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/369061.html</link>
  <description>How&apos;s this for ironic?&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;was just thinking I&amp;nbsp;needed to email the panels coordinator for Usa and lo-and-behold I get an email from the man in question.&amp;nbsp; So here it is people my panel schedule for Anime Usa:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) A Geezer&apos;s Tale: 11 Years of Con Hopping Glory- Friday 7:00 PM in room Panels 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Pure Evil: Anime&apos;s Greatest Villains- Saturday 11:30 AM in room Panels 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Lolita for the Uninitiated-&amp;nbsp;Saturday 10:00 PM in room Panels 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m sure by 11:45 PM&amp;nbsp;Satuday I&apos;ll be in my hotel room attempting to hang myself, but eh, this is the road I chose.&amp;nbsp; So now I&amp;nbsp;have a week to make these panels as good as their topics suggest.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;think I&amp;nbsp;can pull it off.&amp;nbsp; Even with the limited amount of time I have left.</description>

  <title>I swear I can&apos;t win for loosing...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/368403.html</link>
  <description>For the last two weeks I have been getting requests on my wedding planning website.&amp;nbsp; Yes out of the clear blue sky, people are interested in me planning their weddings now.&amp;nbsp; Where the crap were you all in January or February when I put that site up?!&amp;nbsp; Back when I&amp;nbsp;had the time to actually plan weddings.&amp;nbsp; Now I&apos;m in school and can&apos;t do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mostly because planning weddings takes a lot of time and care to properly execute.&amp;nbsp; With me being in school and a school with such short semesters, there&apos;s just no way I can do it and do it right.&amp;nbsp; Can you imagine having a 10 paged paper due, a final to take, and then a wedding to plan?!&amp;nbsp; Oh my God, I would hang myself by the end of all that mania.&amp;nbsp; Why do you think I&apos;m waiting until after I&amp;nbsp;graduate to have my own wedding?!&amp;nbsp; In order to go to school and plan weddings on the side someone would have to die, there would just be no way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;think now its finally time to take that wedding planning website down.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m not ready.&amp;nbsp; Plus getting inquiries/ potential clients (which would allow me to pay for my own upcoming nuptials which is doubly sucky) and not being able to take them really bites the big one.</description>

  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/367086.html</link>
  <description>I looked at my grades for Marketing and Earth Science, I&amp;nbsp;got B&apos;s.&amp;nbsp; And while B&apos;s a good I was really hoping for an A in Marketing.&amp;nbsp; Especially since I&amp;nbsp;did so well on the first two tests.&amp;nbsp; Maybe if I had done my project sooner, I&amp;nbsp;could have taken the extra make-up test to boost my grade.&amp;nbsp; Earth Science, well, I kinda figured I&apos;d end up with a B, but I&amp;nbsp;thought I&amp;nbsp;would end up with a C...&amp;nbsp; So I&apos;m happy about that, but I&apos;m still very disappointed overall.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This second part of the fall semester I&apos;m going to get back on my A horse.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;realize now that A&apos;s make me very happy.</description>

  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/366602.html</link>
  <description>Cosplay.com hasn&apos;t been good since...&amp;nbsp; I&apos;d say, the summer of 2004...&amp;nbsp; No, I&apos;ll be generous and say the summer of 2005. &amp;nbsp;Since then it&apos;s fallen off hard!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do I hate it?&amp;nbsp; Well I&amp;nbsp;had something poignant to add to a discussion and it wasn&apos;t posted.&amp;nbsp; First it said I had to log in, which I&amp;nbsp;was already logged in, but they wanted me to do it again. &amp;nbsp;So when I did it, I find out that what I had written wasn&apos;t posted.&amp;nbsp; Oh Cosplay.com...&amp;nbsp; I wish you would just crash and get it over with cause I can&apos;t stand it anymore.</description>

  <title>Let us never talk of that again...</title>
  <link>http://aachannoichi.livejournal.com/366450.html</link>
  <description>Well I&amp;nbsp;finished it.&amp;nbsp; It took two days, but it&apos;s done.&amp;nbsp; The end is kinda sloppy, but eh, the ends of my papers are usually a sloppy mess, so that&apos;s nothing new.&amp;nbsp; However, I&apos;m a lot more proud about this paper than I&amp;nbsp;was my earth science paper.&amp;nbsp; Oh that was some serious clap trap right there.&amp;nbsp; Oh I think that was the most hideous paper I&apos;ve written in my life.&amp;nbsp; But anyway, I think the Marketing paper isn&apos;t too bad. &amp;nbsp;I actually had some moments where I actually knew what I&amp;nbsp;was talking about, it was kinda scary.&amp;nbsp; Well in any case, I am glad writing that is over.&amp;nbsp; I still need to study for the final tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; I don&apos;t know how I&apos;m going to do that, because my brain is at maximum fry right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus added to all of this insanity and to give me an even bigger headache, I was letting my mom use my printer (before she brought her own) and she used up all my ink without replacing it.&amp;nbsp; So just when I&amp;nbsp;thought everything was safe and good, boom, no ink in my printer.&amp;nbsp; Oh there is a second wonderful part to this evening from hell, but I&apos;m going to let it go cause I&amp;nbsp;just don&apos;t care anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m happy the paper is done and it&apos;s not too awful, I&apos;m hoping I&apos;ll get a decent grade on it (although I&apos;m really nervous).</description>
