On Saturday it was Earth Hour Day and of course Negality participated by shutting everything down!! ò.o We owe it to our planet! I even did this silly little video to invite people to participate >.< I'm so ashamed of it I won't even post it here, it was enough posting it on the fanpage and on youtube T.T
36 CJMC passed in calm and decent manner! Still, I was super happy. I couldn't take the cosplay planned from way back in November because I refused to wear it without fixing one of the main accesories. I threw some schoolgirl stuff on and that's it XD Sorry, I definitely did not look my best u.u
Hi everyone.
Today is March 7, 2010, almost one month from stepping back here. I really needed this break from everything. As I explained before, I just got out of a looong relationship and with the help of school, work, a new hobby and new friends and activities in my life, it’s been hard to keep thinking of this place. Nevertheless, there’s nothing that can make you think clearer than time. I love Negality, and I as long as I have a wish to write and show you what I like I will continue in it, dammit! =)
This is the first day in which I don’t only “think” that I’m ok. Nope. Today I “know” that I am ok. That I will be ok. I have newfound courage… wow, Im such a nerd when I talk like that!
Before going into anything, thanks a lot for not letting the site die. When I stepped out of it, I stopped checking everything (emails, hits, link requests) in order to really check how much I wanted it back. Now that I did, I am astounded at the amount of hits the site continued to have. And to the worried emails, thank you too. You guys really are the reason why this site even exists. I thank you so much for being worth 2 seconds in your life.
Ok, then: First, the past. This last month has been refreshing. I have been doing stuff that I had never ever done before, really going out there to limits that used to scare or that I even used to criticize. I spend more time with my friends of school now. They are incredible people that I regret not trying to spend more time with before. I have also started to drive more around the city, something I neglected often even if I have owned a car for almost 2 years. I have practically seen no one from the cosplay scene, and that was also refreshing. Have not sewn or glued or bought or worked in any cosplay. I didn’t go to Otakufest, of course. This last month I really got into playing bass guitar (or as I joke to my teacher, trying to operate something in the least similar to using an instrument in a way akin to playing). I’ve only had like four classes, but I’m really into it and trying my best. To me it’s like a frustrated dream (originally I wanted to play violin) to study music, so I’m trying to enjoy every minute of it even though it’s so hard. I’m too old for it! Luckily, my teacher is very knowledgeable, strict-but-caring and pro. So there is that.
I also chopped my hair. This is clear indication of a turnpoint in my life. Every time I have cut my hair a different way, it's because Im trying to leave an old person behind. I went from long bangless to stylish bob to framing long hair and now I'm flouncy layered. I think it looks cool but I have received contrasting opinions o.oU
I haven’t baked as much as I used to, but I don’t get to be in the kitchen that much anymore. I have tons of ingredients that haven’t been used and I have my eyes on a couple of sophisticated pans from Liverpool… Mmmm. Ok, that has nothing to do with right now XD
As for what is coming, well the first thing is to finally finish this damn layout. I like it so much and it has too much tweaking to undergo. I want to make the buttons all the same font. To make up for the month gone I’m trying to make some updates to it. Im sad to admit Zatsune pictures probably will never happen, so I just resigned myself to uploading the cosplay that way and if something good happens then great, I’ll upload more pics. If it doesn’t well, then at least it’s there. Two prizes were missing and they are now added and I finally got around to changing the cosplay icons. The next tentative event is 36CJMC. Oh yes, baby, I’m going. I don’t know if I’m cosplaying but I honestly want to go. If I do go then I will be taking what I was planning for November. Enough with the hiatus!
Ok, so I don’t know if I’m making up for the absence. Probably not… but I will.
Thanks everyone!
And everyone who stood beside me when I felt less like myself.
Hello Everyone!
Este post esta en ingles, por favor pica aqui para Google Translate.
So sorry for not coming for a while. We are starting the process of moving offices and since I have always preferred to blog in this computer, I have been reluctant to do it in Mitchell (or even in Bernie, my Macbook). These first days of the year (it’s incredible, but there’s only been twelve of them) have been critical to my personal growth. I’m so happy that I feel like I’m finally growing up! I can’t go into real details and that may make you think “So why mention it?”, but I just think sometimes you have to announce how you feel even if you really can’t explain everything. I’m still me, though! So please don’t worry.
To the displease of many, my Zatsune gallery is still not up. I’m very sorry for this. Cal finally bought himself another camera (how smug, he did it so fast) and we are setting up for it, though I still have to pick Zatsune up from the shambles that it’s in. I just hope to get at least 10 good pictures and I’ll be happy T.T … It’s a pity I like that costume so much. And as for future projects I’m still deciding. I’m torn between something technically demanding and something I like. Seems like I can’t find both… in the end, what will I lean towards?
I’m hooked up with a variety of things right now, like twitter (I adore it), facebook (love seeing only the people I care about and their daily activities) and one or two other things. Having Mitchell has really helped me with the networking, and it’s a bit hard for me to imagine now an evening without my cute netbook. I must admit I have become less productive! XD With it I have been watching movies I had been wanting to watch but couldn’t because of rental times or catching them on TV. I’ve come to appreciate watching a good movie on my own, even though I used to despise it. I must admit sometimes I miss doing my best in dropping MST3K type comments and laughing to those made by others, but it’s ok. You don’t know how well you can put up with something you think you’ll miss until you just have to.
Today as I approached the Dolce counter, even with a bit of doubt in my mind, I firmly asked for Capuccino instead of a Latte Chai. It may seem a like a small and fragile change, but slowly I feel like Im transforming into a person that CAN evolve. Not forcefully changing, but really hoping to be able to step away from the comfort of what is customary. These last words may make no sense.
Speaking of hooked up, I’ve been relentlessly trying to read all of Yazawa’s Nana. I started reading it because I got some time to do it and because I really like Parakiss. I must say it’s one of my favorite mangas now. As I read I felt like I was identified to Hachi, then Nana, and slowly, also the rest of Blast (Nobu in particular), then eventually, almost all of Trapnest (Reira and Naoki mostly, wtf…) to the point that I just like everyone enough to keep reading about their dramatic personal conections. Yasu is still my favorite though. Im on volume 16 so don’t spoil anything for me. Oh, as I was saying I started reading it just because it was Yazawa but I received it a s recommended reading for when you want to understand the inner workings of a band. To be honest I don’t think it’s related at all to reality… but it’s a dramatic and entertaining way to see what could or would happen if if was all screwed up! XD
Anyway, I have to get going and do some other stuff. Sorry to my Spanish readers, I put the google translate link on top so you can read too, it’s just today my brain was switched into it and I have not been able to switch back, I probably won’t until I get home and my mom reminds me Spanish is my first language.
Cheers to everyone (and if you live in Monterrey, please bundle up!)
P.S. Sorry for the lack of pictures. I'm currently about to buy a camera for myself. >.<
