#anyway i have a date saturday o_O

[1kook]

commercial break: twelve

this is part of my netflix & chill series a prelude to part 10 <3

SUMMARY Anyway, if it was up to Jungkook, Kim Doyeon would not be a member of the Engagement Ring Committee.  WARNING none !! we r safe MISC jk and doyeon mortal enemies, nearly everyone is mentioned, thank u namjoon, jk loves oc, the end <3 jimin makes his first appearance O_O WC 1.4k

NOTES we just having fun with it!!! jk’s friendship with everyone else <3

Doyeon says you have fat fingers, and Jungkook takes great offense at that. “Who cares about the size— __ has pretty hands, idiot,” he mutters, and almost wants to feel bad about being so childish in the middle of this jewelry store. But Kim Doyeon is a pest— a fly who just won’t stop buzzing by his ear with each ring they look at, and she has the audacity to look disgusted with him now. Jungkook very much regrets inviting her along. She exudes very similar energy to the popular girls he used to go to high school, the ones that would only talk to him because he was friends with Namjoon and wanted Jungkook to help them into his pants. Lo and behold, Kim Doyeon is very acquainted with whatever’s inside Namjoon’s pants. She hits the mark perfectly. 

“Oh, definitely get her a rock. Like, one of those obnoxiously bing and shiny rings, maybe?” And she never stops talking. 

Jungkook hasn’t had to spend this much time with her in months, the last time being Namjoon’s birthday when you had tasked the two of them to go pick up the cake together. Not only was Doyeon adamant on passenger-seat driving — “Turn here,” she says a moment too late, “no wait, here — but she had been an absolute heathen outside in the bakery parking lot. 

(“Okay, now take a picture of me by this wall,” she says, artfully holding up the box of cake in two hands, dark hair flipped over her shoulder. Jungkook doesn’t know how to tell her that there is no significant difference between this brick wall and the brick wall they just took a picture by two minutes before.)

Anyway, if it was up to Jungkook, Kim Doyeon would not be a member of the Engagement Ring Committee. It would be him and Namjoon, and maybe Namjoon’s blunt roommate Jimin if he was feeling down for it, but that was pretty much it. Even Taehyung, a very close and dearly cherished friend, had not made the cut. He was too lazy, didn’t offer much concrete advice other than the occasional, “that one looks cool” comment. 

The great thing about Namjoon is that he’s highly educated on just about every aspect of life; he knows the best hairstylists — “You can always ask Hobi,” Namjoon offers, “he’s married.” — and the best lawyers — “Oh, and Yoongi can help with your prenup.” — for no reason other than the fact he is Namjoon. 

The bad thing about Namjoon is that he’s dead set on including Doyeon. “Doyeon is ___’s best friend,” he says calmly one night after dinner. You’re at your friend’s house this weekend, something about a midnight revenge plot against a shitty ex-boyfriend. He isn’t too clear on the details. “You have to let her in on it.” It’s been decades since Jungkook last stomped his foot in annoyance, but the urge wells up strongly in him now. 

Jimin is on the couch. “Oooh, you don’t like her?” he asks, flipping his platinum hair away from his eyes. Jungkook doesn’t answer, only because it would be rude to confirm it in front of Namjoon. Jimin presses on. “Is she, like, an evil best friend?”

“Yes,” Jungkook says at the same time Namjoon says, “no.” Jimin’s got this highly intrigued smirk on his face, and Jungkook hates how similar it is to your own mischievous grins. He’s glad you haven’t met Jimin, mostly because he knows you have your mean moments and meeting Park Jimin would only exacerbate them. Namjoon frowns anyway. 

Jimin says, “oh, you guys should duel. Like, whoever knows __ the best gets to keep her.” 

Namjoon jumps to stop that thought. “No— they’re not gonna duel, Jimin. ___ isn’t an object to win,” he scolds, and Jungkook nods along agreeingly, pretends he hadn’t seriously considered Jimin’s idea for a solid ten seconds. 

Long story short, Doyeon has tagged along to this jeweler and the past two jewelers to make sure Jungkook doesn’t give you “an ugly ring,” as she claims. 

“Wait, what if you get her this one,” she says, on the other side of the store. Jungkook sighs, but hurries over anyway. Hey, he’s here to see some rings, okay? 

Doyeon is looking at the most ugly ring Jungkook has ever seen, a mix of a braid and a snake, that is just too… not you. “This is hideous,” he says, disregarding all and any notions of being polite because at this point, she had to be pulling his leg. “___ would hate this.” 

At his side, Doyeon huffs. “Oh, ‘cause you know ___ sooo well, don’t you?” she snarks. 

Jungkook levels her with a glare. “I do, actually,” he says, “that’s literally what made me want to marry her.” And because Kim Doyeon sparks a very immature flame within him, he feels the need to add, “I probably know ___ better than you,” to top it off. 

Doyeon scoffs. “No, you don’t— you will never know her like I do, you overgrown fungus,” she spits. “Me and ___ have exceeded any level of trust you could ever hope to have, a friendship forged on the grounds of love and equal values. A nerd like you can’t even begin to fathom the absolutely crazy shit we’ve shared with each other.” 

If he was eight years younger, Jungkook is certain he would have gone home and cried. Mid-twenties Jungkook, on the other hand, has had one too many rodeos with mean girls — he’s dating a retired high school cheerleader, for goodness sake, an apex predator if he’s ever seen one — and will not stand for it. Besides, Jungkook has received your blessing to check Doyeon into place if ever she crosses the line. 

(“Sometimes you just gotta knock her down, maybe call her a dumbass if necessary,” you had said one night after Doyeon had unceremoniously barged into your apartment to monopolize your evening plans with Jungkook. Now it’s nearing midnight and as much as Jungkook wants to spend time with you, he’s deathly tired. “Just tell her off.” 

Jungkook frowns, snuggles closer until he’s so tightly pressed against your body that he can’t tell whose heartbeat is whose. He likes it like that.

There’s just something about your annoying best friend that activates this feeling in Jungkook’s chest. If anything, Jungkook imagines it is similar to that of having a bratty little sister. But Doyeon as his sister? He rolls his eyes so far back he swears he sees his own brain. 

It’s childish and petty and unlike Jungkook — or at least, unlike the Jungkook he knows you think he is. Which is flattering, to be thought of so highly, but sometimes Jungkook wonders where on earth you got that idea from. Because whenever he’s around you, Jungkook becomes increasingly immature, grows so greedy and needy, desperate for anything you have to give him. 

And because he’s so immature, he settles on tattling to you instead, “she called me a sweaty meat bag,” to which you snort in amusement.) 

For now, he calls on the spirit of the most mature person he knows (Namjoon). Jungkook takes one last look at his millionth silver band of the day before turning to address the Wicked Witch of the West. “I might not know ___ like you do, but that’s fine,” he says calmly. “We’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together anyway.” 

In front of him, Doyeon’s eye twitches and Jungkook senses he has won. For now. See, the thing is, Jungkook knows that using Namjoon-level logic against her is foolproof. For one, Namjoon’s logic is always solid. But also, as much as Jungkook despises Kim Doyeon with nearly every fiber in his being… ultimately, they share a common interest: cherishing you. 

Had it not been for your existence in their lives, Jungkook doubts he would have ever spent his Saturday morning at a jeweler with the likes of Kim Doyeon, especially not after she had spent ten minutes in the Starbucks drive-thru ordering the most bizarrely complicated drink. But deep in his heart Jungkook knows that she loves you, though not as much as him, and he respects the fact she is willing to accompany him in the name of buying you a beautiful engagement ring. It’s a friendship solidarity he admires, and for that he stomps down his childish pride to answer in a way that would impress, well, you. 

(Even when you’re not here, Jungkook always wants to impress you.)

At his side, Doyeon huffs. “I should’ve never taken ___ to that party.”

December 2018 update

FINAL UPDATE OF THE YEAR -> 2018 updated blog schedule

So November is down and out, and wow were at the end of the year already?! It doesn’t feel too long ago I had that hiatus from last year o_O. But last month was supposed to feature a Mario Kart long post I originally planned, but I had to move that because I wanted to do my Digimon series appreciation. Unfortunately, I had to delay that as well because of how busy of a month that was for me (I kinda wanted to re-watch the Tri films anyway this Christmas). I finished Appmon which was great, but I had to deal with other things in my life that I had to take care of more. I am currently working 2 jobs, so trying to schedule things here can get hectic at times (even if I don’t have to, I just like being productive here). Plus I had that wrestling event I went to a few weeks ago back, and attend the movie premiere of The Power of Us.

I also wanted to make videos for YouTube (as you can see with my Smash reactions and Let’s Go unboxing recently) to practice on my skills, but that took a lot of time too. In fact I was planning on doing a surprise #TPJ Takeover queue this week, but was too busy to prepare time for that. I haven’t really done too much of those this year compared to last year, but it is probably because I tried schedule at least 1 “big” post/blog-series each month this year, while doing weekly #Pokeani posts too, along with MMM & PTT.  I’m a video/film person, and I never would have never thought that I would waste countless hours typing a long post that only gets like 5 notes or something. I always try to bring high quality and wholesome posts (it’s hard being PG here, but I try not to swear :x) with informative tags and useless ramblings, but that’s one of the reasons why I’m still here. I really pressured myself with a lot of crap this year, but I’m glad I was able to experiment that. AND I manage a Discord server. 

There will definitely be some changes in 2019, and I will obviously minimize to what I want to do for next year. Some of my posts are getting that much notes anyway, so it’s probably for the best lol...and I don’t want to stress myself out too much. Still working on trying to make that PokéAni podcast thing I stated like a few years ago into a reality, and I’m finally putting some thought into developing a short horror film I had in mind with the Lavender Town creepypasta (when I have the right resources and people to help me out).

I am GRATEFUL for every follower that I have so far (nearing 3k!), even those that have unfollowed and re-followed for whatever reason. I do my best to interact with the most active followers I have, and I’m trying to give the love back! I have fun with my blog, and use it as a platform to hopefully entertain others (even if it’s just a short second of a post) and promote the things I love. Anyways my post on experience movie 21 will come maybe before or after December 8th (since this film premiere’s on Disney XD that day). I was going to return Smash Saturdays but since Ultimate is coming out in a few days, the relevance of Smash 4 clips won’t be minded by anyone as of now. I’ll probably do my redux of 12 days PokéAni Christmas next year when (and hopefully) we do get the gen. 8 anime so I can include some references there. And finally, the 3rd annual PokéAni Rewind post will still be going as planned! I’ll update the date on my schedule once I find out when the last episode of the year will air. For those checking back frequently, thanks for joining this ride with me so far ...and the journey continues!

#just a little schedule update for my blog #ignore this if you don't give a damn lol #this is just for my own reference to look back on #P J productivity

Wrong Number(Tom Hiddleston): September Year One

Series Masterlist

2 September

Tom  6:43: Good morning, darling. Just woke up and I’m about to head out on my morning run, hope you slept well.

Sarah 9:17: You are very strange, Tom. Waking up early just to run, actually enjoying it, how do you do it?

Tom 9:24: I just do, if I go a day without a run that day is just no good. There is something so peaceful about running in the morning, the quiet sounds of the earth, the cool and crisp air, and just the calm view of the town.

Sarah 9:27: Wait, are you telling me you don’t even listen to music while you run?

Tom 9:29: I am definitely not saying that. Some days it’s just that I prefer to listen to the natural sounds of the world, but I usually do listen to something.  

Sarah 9:30: What do you listen to?

Tom 9:34: It really depends on the day, what I listen to most days is a little embarrassing so I think I’ll keep that to myself until it’s of good use.

Sarah 9:35: There is nothing to be embarrassed about, a persons taste in music is a part of what makes that person who they are. So whatever it is, you can tell me, hell you can tell the whole world, because it is an important piece of you.

Tom 9:37: Alright, but swear you won’t judge me?

Sarah 9:39: I swear *raises right hand*

Tom 9:41: Starships, Nicki Minaj.

Sarah 9:42: That’s a really good song! I remember when that song came out a friend and I did an arrangement of it for a project, she did the backing tracks while I sang all vocals.

Tom 9:45: Every time you mention your singing my interest grows, I am just dying to hear your voice.

Sarah 9:46: I have a recording that I recently did for class, I could send it to you if you’d like.

Tom 9:47: I would love that, darling. Send away.

Sarah 9:51: Audio message:;My Bucket's Got A Hole In It -, 11.16 AM.mp3

Tom 9:58: Sarah, you have a marvelous singing voice! Are you playing guitar as well?

Sarah 10:01: It’s the ukulele, actually, but yes I am. I’m glad you like it.

Tom 10:02: Like it? I love it! What made you choose that song?

Sarah 10:05: It’s one of my favourites from the I Saw The Light soundtrack, and I love the original version as well. The chord progression is fairly simple so I was able to learn it quiet quickly.

Tom 10:07: Well, you sounded wonderful, darling. Do you listen to a lot of Hank Williams Sr.?

Sarah 10:08: Not really, when I listen to those songs they’re usually from the movie, I absolutely adore the way his voice sounds. I could listen to him sing for hours, and I have before. After first seeing the movie I spent the next few weeks only listening to him.

Tom 10:13: Wow, you’re a true fangirl, aren’t you?

Sarah 10:14: In a way, but I am not the obsessive, stalking, build a shrine, dedicate my life kind of fangirl. I appreciate him for all he has done and respect his privacy.

Tom 10:17: That’s good to hear. Some people just don’t understand that actors are people too.

Sarah 10:19: That’s what I always say! They are the same as everyone else, only that every decision or action of theirs is known by the world.

Tom 10:24: I know, even if they simply take a stroll through the park it will be on the cover of something within the next couple of days, and with the internet and social media the way it is almost everything is instant now.

Sarah 10:27: It must be hard to live life that way.

Tom 10:30: But there are good things and bad things in every situation, darling. In my opinion the feeling of having loving fans and enjoying your work could possibly make up for the media’s attention.

Sarah 10:33: That is a good point.

Tom 10:33: Could you ever see yourself living that sort of life?

Sarah 10:35: Not really, but if it were to happen to me I would embrace it and most likely love it.

Tom 10:38: Well, darling, with your voice I can see it happening to you any day now. :)

Sarah 10:53: You’re too sweet.

Tom 10:56: I’m honest, Sarah.

*****************

15 September

Tom 4:38: Happy Friday, love. Hope your day is going well.

Sarah 5:12: Happy Friday to you as well, Tom. I’m sorry I’m sorry it took me so long to reply, but I just got off of work.

Tom 5:15: No worries. Do you have any interesting plans for the weekend?

Sarah 5:16: I do, actually. A few friends are taking me out drinking tomorrow night to celebrate my birthday.

Tom 5:18: Is it your birthday tomorrow?

Sarah 5:19: It’s Sunday, but they have work and I have classes Monday morning so we decided Saturday would be best.

Tom 5:23: Well, happy early birthday. Should I get you a gift? I’m not really sure what is proper edicate when your ‘texting only, don’t know very much information about, never met in person, no idea what they look like, twelve years younger than you’ friend has a birthday.

Sarah 5:26: I don’t think there is proper edicate for that, you old dork.

Tom 5:33: Old? Darling, I am many things, but I am not old.

Sarah 5:38: Whatever you say, old man.

***************

16 September

Sarah 7:42: Heading out for the night, just wanted to let you know in case I don’t reply for a while.

Tom 7:45: Have fun, darling.

Tom 8:36: How are things going, Sarah? Having fun, I hope.

Sarah 9:27: A blast! Karaoke, dancing, flirting with random strangers, random strangers flirting with me, guys asking me how it’s possible that I’m single, and most importantly, the alcohol. It’s a pretty great night so far!

Tom 9:32: Glad to hear that. Just be careful, alright?

Sarah 9:56: I always am, Tom.

Tom 11:55: SARAH I HAVE AMAZING NEWS

Sarah 11:56: What is it?

Tom 11:56: It’s your birthday in four minutes :)

Sarah 11:58: You’re a dork. How has your night been?

Tom 11:59: We can talk about that later, because your birthday is just moments away!

Tom 11:59: Any second now

Tom 11:59: Any

Tom 11:59: Second

*****

17 September

Tom 12:00: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!

Sarah 12:07: You’re a dork, Tom. Makes me smile.

Tom 12:09: That’s my job now, darling. :)

Sarah 12:13: You are honestly my favourite person, despite the sad fact that I’ve never seen you before.

Tom 12:14: Well, maybe that could be my birthday present for you.

Sarah 12:17: But I thought we were going to keep this as anonymous as possible?

Tom 12:18: We did, and so we shall. What I am proposing is that I will send you a photo of me without showing my face

Sarah 12:20: That’s a really good idea, and it would prove to my friends that you are a real person.

Tom 12:21: I assure you, darling, I am very real. So what do you say, a photo for the birthday girl?

Sarah 12:28: It sounds lovely. Would you like me to return the favor?

Tom 12:29: Only if you truly want to. Image file

The picture shows a rather tall man standing in front of a full length mirror, the book Any Human Heart covering his face. He is wearing a yellow tee shirt and flannel pajama bottoms. He is quite fit, arms toned as one holds his cell phone up to take the picture while the other keeps the book in place, defined muscles showing despite the shirt covering them. His hair is messy, the colour a mix between blonde and brown.

Sarah 12:35: O_O

Sarah 12:35: You look different than I imagined, you look really good. Not that I was imagining you not looking good, it’s just I wasn’t expecting you to be in such great shape.

Tom 12:37: Thank you, darling. Happy birthday.

Sarah 12:45: Thank you for being so wonderful. Image file

The picture shows a woman in a figure hugging green dress that stops a little below her knees, the fit of the dress showing off her curves. The picture was clearly taken by someone else, as it shows her entire body. She is holding what appears to be a menu of some sort in front of her face, while her other hand rests on her hip. Her legs go on for miles, ending with a pair of golden high heeled shoes. Her hair hangs down below her shoulders in waves of blonde.

Tom 12:48: You look positively stunning, Sarah. Absolutely gorgeous.

Sarah 12:50: I thought you said your job was to make me smile? Because right now all you’re doing is making me blush.

Tom 12:52: Blushing is merely a perk of the job, darling. I must say, I am bewildered by the fact that you are single.

Sarah 1:02: Trust me, if you met me in person you would understand. The way you look there is now way that you are single, is there?

Tom 1:04: There is because I am.

Sarah 1:05: How in hell is that possible? Have you seen you?

Tom 1:07: I’ve dated here and there, but nothing ever seems to last for long. I travel a lot for work and that makes it hard, it seems that most women find the long distance thing a deal breaker.

Sarah 1:28: Sorry my reply took so long. What line of work are you in?

Tom 1:30: Now, now, darling. What happened to keeping this an anonymous thing?

Sarah 1:32: Oh, right. Sorry, I tend to forget things when I drink.

Tom 1:35: How much have you had to drink?

Sarah 1:37: Enough that I don’t give a fuck what I say but not enough to not remember this in the morning

Tom 1:39: Promise me you won’t be driving?

Sarah 1:42: I promise. I didn’t drive here anyway

Tom 1:43: Good. I’m afraid that I am in desperate need of sleep, so this is goodnight. Be safe, Sarah. Happy birthday.

Saturday -- Day 2! It was a really chill day overall today -- not that I really minded much! I got up slightly earlier than expected and decided to do eyeliner-only for my makeup -- a decision which I definitely don't regret!  I was out of the door a bit earlier than expected and parked at Safeway again...which, I now realized afterwards, was a mistake -- the parking lot across the street is cheaper, both on weekdays and weekends!  I probably realized this on previous years too but just totally forgot about it.  So I'm making (another?) note to myself here that I should park in that lot instead. Anyhoo, I headed to con and met up with Angela, whom I ended up hanging out with for basically the entire day! :D  We ate lunch at this Malaysian place which was not half bad at all, then while I was photographing this Merida cosplayer (yay Merida!) this super random lady came up and said something about the Malaysian food and that we should go again something something she's there something something (????).  And she asked us if we were from Malaysia (uhhh, no?), and where we were from (uhh...here?).  Very odd.  I basically said "okay okay okay sure okay okay whatever" and that was that.  Our best guess is that she worked at the place we had just come from and ....saw me there or something?  but had left, and then recognized me again on the street from my distinctive costume.  ...  or something.  We were quite confused. After that we spent a good deal of the day just wandering around and doing random things, including skimming through the dealers hall a bit, and going through the first two rows of artist alley (which I had skipped yesterday).  We also spent some time in the gaming hall, where I played some more Tetris, including a pretty good master run where I topped out somewhere in the 800s or 900s and got an M1 (M2?) rank.  Nice!  We didn't get to play Bishi Bashi, but I did hop onto the 3rd strike machine and beat two other people pretty handily (heheh), despite my execution being pretty off (I'm going to blame the sticks, as fighting game players are prone to....but for good reason, stick differences REALLY do throw you off a lot, especially when it's a different type of gate or stick than you like to use).  We also had a run on Beatmania 3 (not IIDX, sadly -- there was no IIDX cab this year due to some issue or another), which was kind of fun. We spent some time wandering back and forth -- also I ran into a record number of people from MZ today for some reason O_o -- and also at one point stopped by Stage Zero to watch the B&W ball staff perform some random dance stuff (we said hi to Russell at this point too).  After that we plopped ourselves down on the floor to the right of stage zero where I sprawled out my dress (every year I try and make some time to just sit on the floor with my dress laid out in a circle), and we chatted, people-watched, and had people take photos of me.  Jeremy also said hi to us at this point, having just made it into the final bracket for smash 4 (go Jeremy!), though he would end up getting knocked out thereafter. We met up with Nate and he wanted to check out the tail end of the AMV contest, so we went into that and got to see the last few, which were on the comedy side.  We split off from Nate and I met up with Lann, Alex and co in the Gaming Hall, got a photo and chatted a bit, and then it was time to start thinking about dinner!  We briefly said hi to the RWBY cosplay group before venturing off on our own to dinner...which we decided to get at Safeway!  It was not only convenient since it was right where I had parked, but also ended up being pretty tasty too -- I got myself a toasted sandwich with salami, cheese, veggies, and pepperoncinis -- which I had literally the hardest time communicating to the guy on the other side of the counter, "pepperoncinis" partly because this was the first time I realized how that word was actually spelled (seems that it's also spelled "peperoncino" sometimes too!), and partly because the other guy thought I was talking about pepperjack cheese or something.  I also didn't realize he was going to ask whether he should toast it and then ask for toppings afterwards.  The end result was that he eventually understood what I wanted but put the pepperoncinis (peperoncinos?) on before he toasted the sandwich, which was...I guess unusual.  Communication is hard, lol.  Fortunately the sandwich tasted great anyways, and I got to pair it with a Naked juice smoothie -- my favorite treat, Orange Mango! (which I still have not seen a large size of....) That was it for Fanime today!  After that we drove off to the Art Boutiki where Aivi & Surasshu were going to perform.  Turns out we were wayyyy early and nobody else was there and they weren't ready to start checking people in either, so we just hung out outside at some tables and ate our dinner while chatting some more.  We went in, waited around, and surprise -- ran into Vu and Rose, who were there for the concert too!  We caught up a bunch, chatted, and then enjoyed the concert, which opened up with Noah Hafford (very fun, good stage energy), Omniboy (great music, pretty progressive sound, but also really hit the spot with some sweet rhythms and stabs and such), and Slime Girls (I wasn't as big of a fan, but they seemed fun!).  And then it was onto our beloved Aivi & Surasshu (whom I had gotten to say hi to earlier before they went on)! Aivisura had a great set and I was so happy for their performance!  They played a handful of stuff, including Lonely Rolling Star (ahhhhh!! *squeal*), Here's How! (very fun, very groovy, a song that I didn't realize was so great to listen to while standing up), a cover of Yuri on Ice (which holy crap, gave me chills -- just...the emotion...wow), a song from their new album (so cool!), and a final song from Steven Universe for all the SU fans.  Lonely Rolling Star (I keep typing "Love Everlasting", haha) was great as always...the song from their new album was super interesting and you can tell that their musical style has really developed since The Black Box and all the work they've done for SU.  And they really did great in terms of performance this time too!  It was super fun and surasshu's jammin was less awkward-adorable and more just plain fun and awesome :D  The highlight was Yuri on Ice though, wow, I really felt that in a big way.  I haven't even seen most of the anime, and have only heard that song like once before, but man... And that was it!  I stayed behind for a bit to say hi to aivisura, give them my shiny new business cards, as well as two special ones with the Love Everlasting art on them.  It really makes me happy to know that they are still thankful for Love Everlasting, but even more happy to see them still making great things that I can connect with, as a musical artist.  It made me smile, too, to see another fan telling them that their music helped bring him through difficult times in his life.  Looks like I'm not the only one, heh. Photos from today:

Link taking a selfie......

...and an actual photo, lol.

Merida!  A really well-done outfit.  This was also right before we were ambushed by confusing Malaysia lady...

Adventure time!

A REALLY legit group of Marvel heroes.  Look at that Gambit!!!

 A first-run reddie!

Giant moogle!

Dragon Maid.  I don't know anything about Dragon Maid, but this costume was so pretty, wah!

A random assortment of characters, lol!

Aivi & Surasshu setting up for their awesome gig :D

More loot!  I picked up this cute Sumikko Gurashi folder for just $2 at the Dealers Hall :) That's it for today! As for tomorrow...I didn't get contacted regarding speed dating so I'm assuming that's off the menu (shrug...).  First things first, I gotta get up and drive all the way over to SF in the morning to play chauffeur for some people (zzzzzz).  But then I'll be relatively free for the rest of the day -- technically I'm supposed to have more private instruction time from 12:30-1:30 at the B&W ball place but I'm not even too concerned about that to be honest, I might just let them know I had my share already.  B&W ball itself is tomorrow night, but aside from that I'm mainly just hoping to hang out with Lann, finally get to play Melee with Eddie, hang out at con for the last day that I can, and play some more games of TGM3. Things have been pretty good so far.  Let's keep it up!

Past weekend

Honestly this past weekend was pretty good. I wish I did more homework/school work, but it was a fun weekend. I kind of only went home this weekend, since pretty much all my friends were going home or Coachella. So I decided to go home Friday morning, since I was too lazy Thursday night to drive home. Friday morning, I made plans to meet up with Fyona and hang out. We were also doing a clothing shoot for this ugly clothing brand Bitroyd that paid Fyona and I $$$ to do a fashion shoot for their clothes. They shipped me their shirt, and I just didn’t like the clothing brand at all. So I pretty much refuse to post their stuff on my instagram lol, unless they were to pay me for that too. But anyways, Fyona was dropped off at my house, since she had a previous shoot with some photographer. Then we head to Tebo tebo, pretty bad drinks place lol. I haven’t been there in honestly years maybe since senior year of HS? But yeah, Fyona wanted to get an avocado smoothie or something from there. Then we headed to Irvine Spectrum to casually shoot and potentially watch a movie together. We shot a bit, walked around, and got macarons from Honey & Butter. We decided to not watch a movie, since it would have been too late at night, and I had dinner at 7:30 with my cousin Toto. So we went to the Artic to do the clothing brand shoot, and quickly shot since they don’t allow professional photography there anymore lol. It doesn’t really make sense why phone photography is allowed, but ‘professional’ cameras aren’t. Like I could be using an entry level DSLR which is technically not a ‘professional’ camera, and it wouldn’t be allowed. But yeah whatever, idk why they disallowed it. So quickly shot, and then PEACED. Was fun talking to her, listening to music in the car, and then dropped her off at home. Then I headed back home in time for dinner with my cousin. I took her to Kitakata, and we had a big long talk during the wait to eat. Since she was deciding between UC Merced and UCSB... ;-; Her bf does go to uc merced, and she justified it with idk the generic reasons. Going to uc merced would be cheaper, she’s gonna be a Bio major and aiming towards med school, so it technically doesn’t matter what university she goes to, and it’s probably easier to get an A at uc merced for med school blah blah. Uhh, I guess she thinks it’ll be fun, since obv her bf goes there, hypes it up to her, prob knows his friends, and etc. But I went hard on the FACTS and tried to convince her otherwise. Like what if she doesn’t stay a bio major and switch, it’ll be really bad to be grad with a degree from UC Merced etc etc etc. How I can help her get an A, since I know all the classes to take, best professors, etc etc. Blah blah, many reasons. She was fairly convinced and really appreciated the advice. She repeatedly talked about how she feels really loved and is thankful for the advice, and how much she loves me hehe. I appreciate the family love <3 She enjoyed kitakata as well and thinks I’m a foodie. I’m a picky eater lmao, def not a foodie. But I think it’s cute that she thinks I am, despite knowing that I’m a picky eater, since I always show her cool food places. I treated her, then we headed to Rolling Creamery for ice cream dessert. Also since Catherine was working there on Friday night, so I wanted to harass her for fun. She made our ice cream and we skipped the 30 mins wait! While my cousin treated me :) hopefully she’s convinced, she’s going to uc merced this weekend, then ucsb the following weekend. Afterwards, I actually met up with Jia at night!! Dang so many ppl haha. We were going to grab drinks together and decided Tokyo Table (never been) in Diamond Jamboree. But the line for pretty much every store there that Friday night had lines out the door, even 85 degrees bakery/afters/lolicup. There was no way to find parking too, I legit roamed around for 40 mins.... Then Jia suggested we just go to a buffalo wild wings nearby for drinks, and I was like uhh okie then. I been to BWW before in like junior year of hs, but I thought the food was pretty bad LOL. But yeah, it still holds true today lol. We shared an appetizer, and I thought it was pretty bad. But I got a strawberry margarita, while Jia got some beer, then we talked and caught up on the uh idk 2 weeks we haven’t seen each other. Then it was getting late, so we hugged, and went home. We did make plans to maybe vaca in vegas over the summer together haha. TBH, I’ve been making those plans with fking everyone LOL. Kai, Kristy, Jessica, Brent, Bryan, Jia now, Peach, etc... I’m a monster ;-; lol.. I’m just 21 now and it seems fun to go to a bar/club in vegas, go to the buffets, and idk!! Be a degenerate for a weekend haha. Anyways, it was time for bed after that.

Then on Saturday morning, I picked up Cat for lunch, and we went to Omelette house. Since she’s never been there before. I actually kinda like Omelette House, since I normally don’t like omelettes that much... But I really like their omelettes lol. I think Catherine just thought it was whatever, but I think Omelette House is pretty yummy. I treated Catherine, since idk why. We had time to kill, so we went to Irvine Spectrum, and just kinda shot pics for fun since she made me lol... Then she bought some clothes there and then idk we headed back to her place. I think we headed to her place for a bit, and got Tastea thai tea and shared it (she treated me for dis) since my shoot with Jenn was not till 5 and I said hi to mom and grandma haha. The shoot I had with Jenn at 5 was going to be pretty interesting. Since my friend Dana is getting into photography and wanted to tag along for a photoshoot. I normally don’t let ppl, if they’re not gonna like shoot or model with me, since kinda weird just tagging along. But I asked Jenn, if it was okay if Catherine and Dana could tag along. I felt bad asking, since idk I like making good first impressions, and yeah... Catherine wanted to along, since I’m not in the area too often and she wanted to spend as much time with me as possible (her words). Catherine and I watched iron fist at her place, and it’s a pretty good tv show honestly. I don’t think it’s as good as the flash, but it’s pretty good~ Then Jenn came over to my place, since she wanted to carpool. Catherine, Jenn, and I kinda introduced ourselves and talked. We all knew Hope as a mutual friend, and we kinda all met through Hope actually. Jenn prob found my ig from Hope idk. Catherine, I met through a shoot with Hope. Jenn dmed/commented on my ig photo asking to shoot, and I’m glad I said yes. She’s actually really pretty o.o... Anyways, uh went to downtown Huntington Beach, and met up with Dana there. We walked around shooting and Catherine was wearing a cute outfit and demanded I took pics of her too lol... Jenn didn’t mind tho, and the focus was mostly on Jenn still. Dana idk how much she was learning, but she was having fun talking to the models and befriending them. Jenn is actually the most quiet model I’ve worked with. She’s not like super quiet, but just the most quiet model I’ve worked with actually. I guess the models I’ve worked with are generally really talkative and idk. Maybe she’s shy when working with ppl for the first time or because it’s a group idk, since Hope said she’s pretty talkative actually. After the shoot, I was gonna grab dinner with Catherine, and Jenn was down to tag along. Then Dana wanted to tag along, so we all got kitakata. Since uhh Jenn and Dana never tried, Catherine likes the place, and I didn’t care that I just ate at kitakata yesterday night. But yeah... They liked the place, the wait was long like usual for dinner, and talked. Jenn shared how she met her bf actually! So uhh, her bf is not the best looking dude, prob has good personality whatever. But apparently, he made an instagram post asking if any models wanted to shoot, and then she just hit him up, and then they shot together. Then idk how, but I guess they started dating a bit after. I was like o_o... I guess, it gave me a big revelation lol. Maybe it’s time to start hitting on models... But I’ve always been super friendly, professional, never touch models or anything, and yeah... But that does not get me a hot gf by being professional LOL... So maybe, it is time to change my ways. I asked Catherine, if I should, and she was like uhh no theo! You have such a good reputation with your models and most of them end up becoming friends with you. It’s true! I shot with Cindy once, but we still snap and make plans to hang out still, since I was so idk friendly/cool. I’m friends with Hope/Catherine, Chubbybunnies (Ali) is down to hang out still and wants to, and yeah.. ;-; I guess I am a social boi and is good at making pretty friends lol. My friend Chloe and Amandi snapped me again that my friends are so pretty and that they’re shook. BUT having pretty friends does not get me anywhere!! So yeah, maybe time to change my ways, and maybe throw my professionalism and morals out the window.. Since all these other guy photographers are doing it -.-!! Drove Jenn home, hugged Dana good bye after dinner, and then went to Cat’s place to watch Iron Fist for another two episodes almost lol, then went home late-ish. Overall, it was a pretty busy but fun Saturday. I did feel a bit burnt out from that much socializing and talking, since I try to make convo quite a bit, and ask questions to get to know more about people. We all (well for me just Jenn) exchanged phone #s and snapchats and even have a group chat on fb now lol. 

Anyways on Sunday, it was pretty basic. My dad got me lunch, then I headed back to SB, and kinda just chilled/unwinded. I had to go through trouble of uploading a bunch of photos from that weekend lol... So many photos ;-;... Jenn texted me early the next morning asking if I had an estimate of when I’ll send her the pics, since she really liked the pics. I felt flattered haha, and thankfully I already had it finished uploading from last night! So I sent it to her and Cat, both actually asked me that morning when I barely woke up for my 8 am on Monday. Jenn actually ended up posting a bunch of my photos, making it her ig profile pic, fb profile pic, etc and it makes me pretty happy actually. It feels good when a model really likes the photos I take and it feels like I did a good job! So yayyyy :) I feel the love! 

There’s some other random stuff I wanted to talk about tho besides this recap. Just random thoughts that idk reflect about. I guess thinking on a deeper level is pretty good sometimes, since there’s less reflecting to do before sleeping, I get to understand myself/the world slightly better, and yeah. For my cousin, I have a 50% UCSB convince success rate so far haha. Since I convinced Kristy, but failed to convince Stefanie. For Toto, if I successfully convince her, then I’ll have a 66% success rate!! Pretty cool haha. But I would be slightly sad, if she doesn’t end up going to ucsb and choose uc merced over it lol... Probably since I think it’s the wrong choice. For Stefanie, this is prob something that idk I did realize back then, but OBV will never admit to her hehe. But I can’t blame her for choosing USC over UCSB and I actually agree it’s the right choice. It was her dream school, USC is higher rank than UCSB, and it’s dumb to commit the next 4 years of your life for a boy you’re dating/not dating whatever we had at that time. I think it would be dumb for my cousin to attend/move to merced for the next 4 years just for her bf, since objectively UCSB is a better school and a smarter decision for the future. The reason why I was upset with Stefanie in the past though, I don’t necessarily ‘regret’ that or whatever. Idk how to exactly phrase this, but I think my actions back then were kinda understandable in my perspective. In my cousin’s case, if she did chose UCSB over UC Merced, and I was her boyfriend I’d totally understand if he’d at least be slightly upset if not disappointed. The reason with Stefanie is, initially I had 0 hopes of her ever choosing UCSB, and was like ugh if she goes to USC than long distance and I really did not want that at the time. It just felt like, man I’m in my 1st year in college, and as she knows I really want relationships for the long run. So that means potentially years with no end goal of closing the distance and just have a long distance relationship for years. But I guess when I started to convince her about UCSB or tell her about it, she really kinda got my hopes up that hey maybe she’ll go to UCSB. She even made a whole blog post back then, about how she kinda liked the vibe and questioned if going to USC would be a bad choice, blah blah blah. I guess she even jokingly (but idk I thought was srs to me lol...) promise me numerous times that she’ll go to UCSB. In a powerpoint that I made and that she made, we kinda hyped up what it would be like if she did attend UCSB, and I really got invested and wanted it. So when she obviously chose USC over UCSB, which I don’t fault her for. I hurted obviously. Since the dreams of studying together at UCSB, sleepovers all the time, hanging out, eating lunch/dinner together often, and all our other plans seemed like it was gone, and I was sad. I spent hours every night convincing her, she promised me yes numerous times, and it felt like idk it would happen especially after her visit to UCSB where we kissed/etc. So when she SIRed shortly after, I felt kinda led on/cheated/many feelings. When she chose USC over UCSB, it kinda felt like she was rejecting me in a way, even though she wasn’t. Since it’s like, dang :( why doesn’t she want to be with me or how could she say no to all those cool dreams/plans we had together if she did attend. It also felt bad, since I really wanted a close distance relationship with this girl, since I felt like we could go the distance since we were so alike, she seemed really sweet, and etc etc etc. I didn’t want a long distance either, so when she chose to not close the distance, indirectly rejecting me (even if she necessarily wasn’t) or indirectly rejecting the plans we made, and etc. I felt sad and bad!! So yeah, I guess those were my feelings during that time. Idk if I ever got to properly tell those feelings to Stefanie, since it was kinda ‘dark’ times and we get into a mini-argument because of our different perspectives. I felt hurt, she felt like I was obligated to go to prom with her still regardless of whatever, even tho to me she broke her promise/indirectly rejected me/kinda felt led on too/etc, but I can see how she felt wronged as well. But hey, I mean I guess things kinda did work out. We ended up dating for a year, and I just sucked it up and suffered through the distance and tried not to let it bother me. It did kinda hurt me inside sometimes, when she cried when I had to say good bye and head back to school, after spending a weekend with her. Idk if I told her, but I sometimes cried a bit too as I left alone to the elevator, since it felt awful that I was making her sad and there wasn’t much I could do... :( I had school the next day... Sigh. I even considered the dumb intercampus UC transfer thing, that lets me study at any UC for a quarter/semester. I was genuinely considering a quarter at ucla lmao just to close the distance for a quarter, and give her a close distance bf for a quarter. Anyways, enough of the past. I guess my point is, I do realize that choosing USC over UCSB is 100% the right choice. Stefanie once told me, hey you know, you never told me that you were proud of me or congratulated me for going to USC, since idk kinda brushed the USC enrollment thing under the rug for a while after she SIRed. I recall we were in her dorm room and I was sleeping over when she said that. I think that I replied oh. sorry, congratulations haha. Idk I didn’t think I properly congratulated her that well outside of that, but I mean deep down despite the sad boy vibes, I was happy for her. She got into her dream school and is obv happy there. Regardless of how sad I felt at the time, I 100% agree it’s the right choice and was proud that she got in, and glad she did it. I just hope that my cousin would do the same and choose UCSB over UC Merced, since I genuinely think it’s the right decision objectively and she prob kinda knows it too. I understand how it’s a hard decision, even tho objectively it shouldn’t be, since her bf goes to uc merced and hypes it up/etc. I could also totally understand if her bf does get upset that she chooses ucsb over uc merced, even tho he shouldn’t/whatever, since I was kinda in his position. I guess we’ll see what my cousin decides in the future tho, but regardless I’ll try to support her. Another topic I kinda wanted to briefly touch upon, is kinda this idk idolization thing that certain ppl do, that I think is kinda bad actually. Back in HS, when Jia, Bradley, and I were kinda popular-ish on Kawaii Ulzzang Contest for posting selfies and being cute and having random cute ppl add us on fb and try to hit on us lmao. All of us were friends with Tiffany, who is a nice girl honestly. She uhm, I guess is not as attractive whatever, and kinda viewed all 3 of us highly. Like Jia later explained when Tiffany and her kinda just drifted away that Tiffany kinda treated us like idk as if she’s our fan rather than as a friend. Kinda hard to explain how she did, but it’s like pretty obvious. I think it’s bad only since, idk shouldn’t really idolize your friends or make it seem like you’re lower/they’re superior or anything, and it’s definitely bad for self esteem and def she should have more confidence in her self regardless of her level of attractiveness whatever. Like it made us feel weird, since she idk didn’t treat us like equals. She should have just be confident, normal, talked to us like any other friends, and I think we would have idk have a lot more respect for her rather than kinda pity?? Anyways, Dana kinda did the same thing during the photoshoot. She’s like omg Jenn and Cat, you’re so pretty, I wish I was as pretty as you girls, and etc. Then she in a friendly way makes a group chat for us and asked for their #, and then says she kinda wants to try modeling just once, then asked if they could help her. Which is kinda sounds fine when I write it, but like the way she says it, even Cat kinda addressed it. It just made it feel like she’s a fan girl or something, they’re like great, and it makes it feel like she kinda wants to use them to help her like a social climber or idk. She’s like making a new ig and kinda wants to try to be a popular blogger or whatever, and Catherine especially has quite a # of followers. I guess this is really hard to put into words, but I kinda disliked that. I think Dana is a nice person, but it’s just kinda weird when ppl kinda start idolizing/putting their friends as like superior and feels weird asking for favors already when you barely met ppl like help with modeling/getting Hope to shoot her/etc. Like idk, that’s just me. But I think it does teach me a lesson to kinda just treat everyone equally, like I’m sure that’s how some ppl want to be treated. Like popular super star rappers prob just want their friends to treat them all the same as a normal person rather than like a fan boy or something. Since, then idk it just makes the relationship dynamic awkward. I guess learning from Tiffany and Dana, I won’t be doing the same if I ever try to befriend someone that’s a super star. Definitely do not want to seem like I’m using them. Like many photographers and myself included dislikes when photographers that we barely know/not even friends ask us to introduce them to our x model friend. Since 1, we barely know you to refer you to our models, since if you’re crazy it makes us look bad. I hate it when they hit up models and goes oh I know Theo! or some shit, like it makes it seem like I referred them/am a reference, but I am not. Also it feels like they’re just using you too. So yeah, idk random thoughts about things rn~ Something similar to this is, I learned to not really make self deprecating jokes/etc too often, since actually it kinda unconsciously lowers your ‘worth’ a bit to ppl. Like my friend Calvin kinda does it too overboard and I noticed that when I meet ppl that do it too often too, it kinda does the opposite of making them seem like confident to talk about their flaws. I guess when you constantly talk about how lazy/ugly/fat/how you don’t do anything/blah blah blah bad points, it makes ppl unconsciously or consciously whatever not view you as highly. When I guess the intentions are to seem funny and that they don’t take themselves to seriously and can admit their flaws or whatever. But yeah, idk I just don’t do it anymore, and maybe I’ll do it occasionally if other ppl are to join in on the joke for fun. But otherwise, I think ppl generally like ppl who are confident individuals that knows what they want, but aren’t too entitled. I think being confident is fine, but being entitled is bad~

Anyways enough for this long blog post, hand hurts, but it feels good getting all my thoughts out and recapping my weekend. This weekend might be slightly more boring, but this weeks been good so far. Had a nice dinner just now with Bryan, Kristy, and Jessica. Got groceries with Chloe and late night smash + dinner with Brent on Monday night. Feeling good rn, and gonna try to sleep well :)

Weekend

This weekend has been pretty uneventful tbh. I mean I had a nice Friday, if I recall correctly, I studied at the library, hung out with Kristy and Jessica. We all watched The Flash and had a nice dinner together. Saturday, I think all I did was play Sm4sh with Abhi + Dane, then hang out with Bryan for dinner. Then today, I’ve been chilling, studying for my math midterm, and then ate with Bryan, Brent, Henry, and Elizabeth at Outback. My Monday is going to be pretty busy with history homework, math homework, lab, and math midterm on Tuesday. So Monday and Tuesday should be pretty busy unfortunately :( I think I have a 5 page essay due on Friday, so don’t really get to chill for the rest of the week unfortunately. But I mean, what can you do? D: Busy busy days. For recreation, I’ve been watching cooking videos for fun, did really well at the Sm4sh tournie on Thursday, played Sm4sh, edited some photos, and honestly that’s it. Definitely been a fairly idk average weekend, but I mean I guess gotta appreciate the normal chill weekends, even if it feels a bit boring at times. Much rather have boring than a bad weekend right haha... Besides that, hmhm... I think Rebecca, Bryan, Chloe, Amy, and I have been planning for Beyond. I’m still iffy on going, just cause idk I feel like I have a lot better things to do over Spring Break... But I’m pretty down to go with the group. Except I think Chloe has a crush on me, so I’d probably end up dancing with her somehow from Rebecca/Amy wingman-ing her.. But I’m just not too interest in Chloe at the moment..? 

Something I’m slightly proud of is that after the whole Catherine incident, I genuinely managed to stay true to what I wrote. I’ve honestly been super content being single and chilling. I don’t find myself particularly looking to go after girls or anything at all o_o... Like I’ve been super chill and haven’t done anything. I’ve been enjoying life with my friends, been working on myself, pursuing new hobbies/working on progressing with current hobbies, and etc. I don’t feel really lonely or anything, except maybe certain nights. Since I guess I’ve been distracted with school, distracted with hanging out with friends, hobbies, and etc! Idk, it’s been a long time since I’ve been in a place where I do like myself, think I’m a pretty great guy but acknowledging my faults and working on them, and been happy or at least content being single. I have not really been looking or anything at all either. I guess with the whole dating thing, idk if I’m matured or not. But I guess I’ve moved past the point in my life (senior year/early freshmen year), where I enjoyed dating around and meeting a bunch of girls. Since idk, it was cool meeting new people (I still enjoy meeting new ppl, but in a more friendship way), and slowly figuring out myself more. I learned more about what I like and don’t like from doing so, and it was definitely cool feeling wanted from multiple ppl. Like I remember senior year summer, it was Chelsea, Mindy, Cathy, Samantha, and Angela. Which was cool, since I was like damn how cool am I flirting/being liked by these girls!! I mean I eventually ended up with Mindy for about a monthish, but still before that woaw Theo lol... I guess I’ve moved past that point and gotten to the stage where I’m not too interested in dating. This is probably similar to when I first met Jessica in my freshmen year. She wasn’t really into dating people and was perfectly happy being single, and simply chilled and waited and then Kristy came into her life that made her want a relationship. I guess I kinda want that too? I’m just chilling, not too interested in dating around or meeting a bunch of girls (unless for friendship) at this moment. Since I do find it a big of a hassle trying to get to know them all, opening myself up, getting emotionally invested, and etc... :( Honestly I’m not even a thirsty guy, so I don’t even sleep around or anything. I legit have not done anything with a girl since I last broke up with Stefanie. I guess I just find doing things with ppl is far far better if it’s a SO that I truly love. So idrc about pursuing making out with a girl at a party or anything, although the opportunities did come up with Chloe... ._. Legit throwing herself at me ;-;... But anyways, idk I guess I just feel like enjoying life by myself, enjoying spending time with friends, focusing on school, and etc. I guess I just want it to be like kinda what happened with Jessica. I just wanna be happy on my own, and then if a special girl that comes along that kinda have the qualities that I like in a gf and seem like she would be a good SO, then I’d pursue it. Otherwise, I’m just not that interested, at least at this point in time, with pursuing attractive girls I meet or make an attempt to date girls. I’ve done it before ofc in the past, and it’s definitely not bad to do so. Just not feeling it rn, maybe one day, but I guess I strongly prefer just waiting for kinda life to happen? Kinda crazy to think about how long I might potentially be single for if I’m kinda just waiting for life to happen. But I think it would be fine, I’ve been single for far longer, and I think I’d be much happier when the right one comes along that I know have an amazing personality and would improve my quality of life if I’m in a relationship with her. So until then, I’m chilling and gonna try to get through a slightly busy week!!
