Happy Holidays
I hope everyone is having a good Holiday. I had a blast in Arizona with my friends Mark and Ryan. ^_^!! HUZZAH FOR GETTING KICKED OUT OF RED ROBIN!! (I mean seriously who gets kicked out of Red Robin...??). I hope everyone is having a good break from school, or work, or whatever else you all are doing.
I figure my last post was a little cryptic so I should tell my epic tale of how LAX tried to kill me on my flight back from Phoenix. ATC basically tried to land my plane on top of another plane that was taxiing on the runway. Our pilot saw it and just as we were about to touch down and would have ultimately crashed into the other plane, he punched the engines and we jumped back up into the air and literally HURDLED the other plane. It was terrifying because all of the power died in the cabin. The heating went off and so did the lights and everyone screamed when we saw the plane briefly beneath us (the one we were jumping over)… by only about 10-20 feet. Needless to say.. it was a close call. The pilot came on the intercom a few minutes later and goes “Sorry about that folks. ATC tried to land us in the path of another plane and I had to hop over him. We’ll be going around and trying this again a second time!”. I swear… I’ve had some terrifying plane experiences but this was the worst. Thank god for the United pilot’s quick thinking! I usually cry or get scared and stuff but this time all I could do was shake and try to control my breathing so that I didn’t faint. When we were disembarking I smirked at the captain since I had calmed down by then, and noticed he was sweating bullets. “Thanks for that one! I love being alive!” and he’s like “HAHA ME TOO!” <3 Gotta love it.

Merry Christmas
And all the other cultural and religious affiliations we have with this season/day/etc. LAX tried to kill me. But my valiant champion (AKA the United pilot) saved me from doom! HA! Now you all are still STUCK with me!

I’ve finally gotten the motivation to add these costumes! I know I should be struck down due to my inherent ability to take the form of the deadly sin sloth (LAZY GIRL!) but I can’t help itttt!~ Anyway here’s some new costumes. Hope you like! To see the photos go to “gallery” but don’t forget to read the details!
New Helena Cosplay Photos!
I know I am a complete slacker when it comes to updates, but I recently did a fun little photoshoot of my Helena costume that was a real blast. Hope you enjoy! I’ve also updated photos from a shoot Kyle did that I just completely didn’t realize I hadn’t put up here!

Kamelot Concert(s)!!!
God I love this band. I really really do. I worship Crystal for sending me A Sailorman’s Hymn years ago. It was what prompted me to crazily binge on amazon and buy every single Album they had released to date (up till Epica at the time). When The Black Halo came out… and later Ghost Opera, I swear I was in heaven. Last year, when they came to LA, it was my sisters 21st birthday and I had already agreed to take her to Vegas. I was really sour on missing the show, but this year I was NOT going to miss it! My roommate surprised me with tickets to the hollywood show, and we went to see them in Hollywood. I must say that Edguy really impressed me, and the acoustics inside of KeyClub were really awesome! I was in the back though, so my experience wasn’t quite what it was in San Antonio. Here’s why:
On Sunday night, I decided I was going to do something completely nuts and chase them to texas. I didn’t want to follow them to Mexicali on Monday since that was the day before school, so I opted for San Antonio, TX. Funny enough, the club that they were playing at “Scout Club” is literally located at the mouth of my dad’s neighborhood. I could have walked back to my dad’s house from the venue! But thats not the awesomest part. I scheduled my flight out of CA on friday at 6 AM, meaning I had to be at Ontario Airport (the cheapest airport to fly out of) by 5, so I was up at 3:45AM. Flew to texas with a layover in colorado… and 5.5 hours later, my sister was picking me up in San Antonio. We went to the club that night, and she went along with me to humor me and laugh at me while I jumped around like a land-bound fish in excitement.
The pinnacle of the evening was catching the attention of Thomas Youngblood up on stage. He tossed his waterbottle at someone in the crowd, and I jumped up and threw my arms out at him with the pouty face that won me a knight at Medieval Times. This pouty face really works! He managed to see me and nod his head, then went and got his other waterbottle, pointed at me, and threw it to me. I jumped up, caught it, screamed.. and fell over. I’m quite the intense fangirl! Khan outdid himself, and so did the rest of them. I must say the acoustics in LA were better than in San Antonio, but Scout Club is brand new, and likely still working that stuff out.
I CAUGHT THOMAS’ WATERBOTTLE! HE THREW IT TO MEEEE!! *____* OMG MAH FRIENDS WILL BE SO JEALOUS OF MEEEEEE!!! <3<3<3
This is my beloved waterbottle! Cell phone picture courtesy of my sister Dana. I’m still in Texas till tomorrow morning ^_^
I’m TOTALLY checking my carryon on the flight home because they are NOT going to take my Thomas waterbottle away from me >:[ I’ll finish the water off and then maybe like… put some beads or something inside of it iono… I’m so happy though! After the stress of the past couple weeks this really rocked!
Also… My sister ALMOST caught Casey’s drumstick but she was too short. :( she jumped up to catch it for me and some big dude behind her knocked her over and grabbed it. She later informed me that she almost grabbed it away from him. ROFL.
LOVE YOU GUYS! GREAT SHOWS!

Birthday
So it turns out that I guess Miley cyrus shares the same birthday as me. We went to Disneyland today, my sister, Ben, and me… and it was so crowded for “miley’s” sweet 16. lol wow… and they closed it at 5. So instead we just went home (since we’re premium passholders) and watched movies and ordered pizza, and I instructed Mira in how to construct a bliaut according to the patterns I’d drafted. XD~~ woo 10 yards of continuous dress!
Also, I got a new bike! Woo! My mom bought me a bike for my birthday because I have to have some mode of transportation to get to the metrolink. My new apartment in South Pasadena is about a mile away from the train station so yay :D!!! Although it’ll be a little more expensive since I have to jump onto the subway once I get to Union Station. So I suppose a day pass is the best way to go about doing it.
