Stacey Anne’s Neighborhood

Oh wow...I forgot I even had this account.

Another item on my list of activities has been to book a room at the Westin Hotel in Dallas, for Project A-Kon! Yeah, Kelly and I shall be going this year. After shunning it for almost four years in a row, we've come to the realization that we can't stay away. Well, that and we're bored as hell during the summer. It'll be a nice mini vacation. Something to do. Yay anime convention!

Sooooo...I shall be again cosplaying. I figure that the most realistic thing is that I will bring one of my previous costumes. I'm thinking my Beatrix (Final Fantasy IX) one.

It's the one that I love the most. It needs a few modifications for Con-wear (repair of rips in the threads and purchasing of new pantyhose), but it should be just fine. The only potential problem is that I need to acquire a fake Save the Queen. I tried using a peace-bonded metal sword four years ago, after they told me it would be okay as long as it was peace-bonded. But that failed in a hurry - I got barked at to take it upstairs. I was pissed, but whatever. I just wish they'd keep their story straight. So, I'll be hitting up the local costume shops and see what I can find. I shouldn't have too hard of a time finding a plain plastic sword that I can paint and dress up. I just remembered that I also need to remake my metal glove parts, since I seem to have lost the originals. Hmmm...more baked clay adventures to be had. Oh gooooodie.

I also plan on real photography this time. Like, with my own camera. Because last time, all sorts of people took pictures of me and I cannot locate a single one of them on the Internets. Maybe that's a good thing, but still. I was curious how well it all came together. So this time, I will have Kelly take photographs. Which I may or may not post on Facebook for all of my classmates and teachers to see. Hahaha, dear gods...

While do I wish that Alex could go and have fun with me (maybe even cosplay someone!), I've accepted that it'll have to wait. As for next year, I'm already thinking of cosplaying Scheherazade from the upcoming Soul Calibur IV. I'd love to cosplay Talim and still plan to at some point, but Scheherazade's look is unique and interesting to me. I may go for it. I'd be an awfully tan version of her, but I would try it anyway. :P

What does your name mean and why did your parents choose it for you?

"Tamisa" means moon in the Thai language. Apparently when I was born I was a really pale baby with a round face. (Now, I'm tanner and have an oval face...weirddd.) My nickname "Mook[ie]" means pearl...see the similarities? :)

I remember the days when people on my Livejournal friends list were registering these babies like crazy. And now only a handful of them update, including me :(

KEEPING SEVERAL JOURNALS IS SO HARD. And so hard to let go, especially if they have an awesome name. Like renegade :3

I was getting ready to write this whole complex analysis on relationships, and even had everything planned out in my head.  Then I started typing and started hating every word that appeared on my computer screen. 

My summer goal is to find my own voice and also to actually get sunlight once in awhile instead of holing up in my bedroom and waking up at 3 in the afternoon.

Note to self: Must. Stop. Watching. Romantic. Comedies.

It's only been two days since the boyfriend boarded the plane to go back to Taiwan and I'm already bored.  I'll admit, the days were boring with him here, but it's even more boring without him here.  I'm not really compelled to log-on to WoW anymore either when he's not around, only logging on to see no chaos ensues in our lovely and moral (hah) guild.  The days are spent pretty laid back, reading books that I've been dying to read during the year but always fell short to do so due to schoolwork and WoW.  I'm also determined to wipe clean the movies on Movies on Demand.  So far I've only watched the sappy love comedies, namely Music and Lyrics and The Holiday.  Both were more entertaining than I thought they'd be, and I've came to the conclusion that there are some movies that are just better left to be enjoyed alone in the comfort of your own living room on a rainy afternoon.

I've also became addicted to Fergie's Big Girls Don't Cry.  I don't know why.  When her CD was leaked, I downloaded it and listened to it.  Wasn't at all impressed.  Now that this single hit the airwaves, I've become obsessed with it and it's been on repeat ever since last night.

It's funny how I opened up this post completely different than what I originally intended, which was some heartfelt soul moving/searching post that I'm known to write every so often.  I guess writing aimlessly does calm you soul, or therapeutic.  I imagined myself doing this for the rest of my life, always writing because it's what I love to do.  But somehow along the road of life, I took a detour and now I wonder if I can really keep doing this.  One day out of the blue, it struck me..what if I don't have my own voice?  What if I just fail as a writer in the public eye.  Trust me, I love the things I write, but sometimes I just feel that only I can understand and/or relate to them.  I hardly follow traditional format, always pick fights with my writing professors because I hate the restrictions they put on me.  And yet I call myself an accomplished writer and boast this is my greatest talent.  Why do I feel like I'm just promoting a lie, or rather a truth that became a lie as I grew older? 

Also, I just noticed, I open a lot of sentences with the word "I".

What other names did your parents consider for you?

March. I was born in the month of March, and my mom loves Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (which I'm still trying to figure out...I remember trying to read all however many hundred pages of that book and not being able to snooze).

I am SO glad she ended up not choosing that name.

We Were Here

Anyways, I've mostly been bumming around watching Scrubs and listening to music all day long. Oh, and I can't forget playing Solitaire/Spider Solitaire. (I'm improving!) I've been listening to a lot of Joshua Radin lately, and I have to give mad props to his latest album. A+++ for anyone who likes easy listening, acoustic music. I've also been playing Damien Rice's 9 Crimes on loop, thanks to Desiree. Pretty song, but chillingly haunting. (Is chillingly a word?!)

This was my attempt at an actual entry here on Vox. Did I pass?

I clearly need something more constructive to do. :)

Funny tongue.

What is the one saying that your parents said to you that you absolutely hate?

"You have too much fun."
Lawl. Whatevs, parents, if you call going out once a month too much fun!

I seriously cannot wait until college so I don't have to hear that for a year :)

I'm getting lazy in updating this thing @__@

I want to share a few songs by Faithless that I think are really, really awesome. Songs that make my skin shiver and give me mad kicks when I play them loud on my headphones. If there's anything good from the 90s, it's them.
