| December Plans |
[25 Nov 2009|12:53am] |
As I mentioned before, I'm taking December off of school/work/responsibilities. It's shaping up to be a month jam packed with awesomeness. So far I have planned-
*Visit my family in Sacramento at least once.
*Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium
*Disneyland trip to see it all decked out for the holidays.
*San Francisco trip with Matt to eat at Ruth's Chris (Who would have thought the cheap vegetarian would fall in love with a highend steak house, lol)
*New Years Eve Party at our place
*Xmas Eve with Matt's Dad
*Celebrate Xmas with my Mom on the 23rd or 26th
Event's I'm probably going to (meaning, as long as they don't get in the way of the first list)-
*Dec 1st- Abney Park listening party at Swing Goth SF
*Dec 5th- Alice in Wonderland play Lolita meetup in Los Altos (in the afternoon)
*Dec 5th- Wedding for two of Matt's friends in Santa Clara (in the evening)
*Dec 6th- Amytha's Holiday Bowling/Karaoke Party
*Dec 11th- Club Clockwork @ Cat Club in SF (any excuse to wear our steampunk outfits)
*Dec 12th- Dickens Fair Lolita meetup in SF
*Either Dec 12th or 13th- Bazaar Bizarre in SF
So basically I'm going to constantly be in San Francisco for all of December, lol. Who is going to any of the above?

After a very long day (Angelic Pretty Tea Party, never ending line to get into the botique, colossal wait for dinner) a few of us 21 and up Lolitas decided it was time to hit up the onsite bar.

Denny's rant, feel free to skip-
On Saturday night a huge group of us got together to have dinner. The onsite restaurant was being iffy if they would be able to sit all of us together and a lot of girls said it cost too much and they wanted to go to Denny's. Since most didn't have an issue with Denny's, I gave them a call and they said they'd be able to seat us all together, as long as we got there within the next half hour. So we walked down the street for dinner. Unfortunately the friendly man on the had only been trying to lure our large group there and was a huge douche when we got there. They weren't ready for us and said we'd have to wait about half an hour. During that time he proceeded to seat everyone else that came in, all around the restaurant, at no point trying to leave a space for our group at all. After being there for almost an hour he then tells us if we wanted to wait another 20 minutes he could seat us all together in the bar area but otherwise we still couldn't sit together. Grr, ok, well we waited this long we can wait another 20 minutes. After getting seated they only had one waitress assigned to us who also seems to have a section in the main room. It took ages for her to take our drink order, forever to get drinks, a lifetime before she'd even take our food order and by the time we actually got our food we had 5 people leave and 3 fall asleep. I'm back to my vow of never going to Denny's. Anyway, despite all that most of us still had a good time, just hanging out, talking and taking pictures.

| PMX Day 1- Angelic Pretty panel |
[13 Nov 2009|12:33pm] |
I wore my unicorn skirt from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mint_cake the first day. Maki and Asuka were really interested in it, especially Maki. They were going on about how cute it was and where did I get it from. When they realized it was made by Sarah that they actually knew there were squeals of delight. It was adorable. :)

*I quit my job. My last day is Dec 1st. I'm going to go back to school in January or February (depending on which school I decide to go with).
*My lease is almost up at my apartment. I'm moving in with Matt at the end of the month. We will officially have 4 cats. I think that makes us crazy cat ladies. ;)
*I'm taking December off from work and school so I can have a month to unpack, clean, sell my extra lolita clothes, relax, spend time with my friends, visit my family and actually celebrate the holidays in the month of December for once.
*My sprained ankle is finally getting better. It was still sore, swollen and hard to walk on up till a couple days ago.
*PMX was a lot of fun. Dinner was a hot mess, we couldn't get an actual reservation anywhere affordable. So we ended up waiting and Denny's FOREVER to get seated and then FOREVER to get fed. I think everyone was pretty tired and hungry by then and a few people got fed up and left. I hope everyone that stayed had a good time. Next time I'll be more organized, plan further ahead and make sure we get a reservation. Other than that I loved every minute of the entire con, had fun hanging out with old friends, and met tons of awesome new people.
*Speaking of planning Lolita stuff further in advanced, I'm thinking about doing another Lolita panel/fashion show at Fanime next year. This year it would only be an hour long. The informational part of it would be shorter, with more of a focus on the actual fashion show. We'd make sure to have an actual practice run first. And I'd make sure to get commitments from my models sooner so we know who is wearing what and there is no last minute scramble. A lot of people seemed to really have fun last year and quite a few people have been asking me recently if I planned on doing it again. So why not? Who's in?
*Now I'm off to go do about 4 hours worth of work on my day off. No actual days off ever, this is part of why I'm quitting.

| PMX Saturday night dinner meetup |
[04 Nov 2009|05:15pm] |
Sorry for being a huge procrastinator. I know it's last minute but I hope there is still interest. A few of us were talking about having a meetup at the con and it seems like Saturday works best for most of us. I just need some help figuring out when would be the best time exactly and which restaurant we prefer.
( Please help decide if you'd like to join us... )

Vacation had a few bumps along the way. Disneyland was fun. We didn't get to do everything we wanted while we were down there but we both had a good time at Disneyland and then at the trick or treat event that night. Day one of Vegas trip ended up just being the concert because it took us twice as long to get to Vegas than it should have. Then it took us well over an hour to drive the less than 10 miles to the concert. The show itself was actually pretty good. The Black Eyed Peas opened, I think I actually enjoyed their performance more than U2. Being the clumsy genius that I am, I managed to twist my ankle and fall down the stairs while on a food & drink run. I didn't realize just how bad it was until that night. We went to get me an ankle brace after dinner and by then my ankle had already swollen up 3 or 4 times normal size. The next day we spent mostly in bed, with my foot propped up and iced. We went out to the outlets to find me supportive (ugly) hightop shoes to wear with my brace so I could hobble around to the Cirque Du Soeil show (O at Belagio) that night. By the end of the night I could barely walk and my throat was sore and spotty. Last day in Vegas, we decided to book another night at our hotel so we could sleep in (curse you 11am checkout time). We slept 2pm. 12 hours of sleep made me feel a bit better. We decided to take advantage of the room and went out to a couple meals and watched another cirque show (Zumanity at NYNY). For unknown reasons I felt sick to my stomach all afternoon. Overall I actually had fun but it really felt like my body was sabotaging me the entire trip. My throat still hurts but I can at least swallow beverages again and my ankle is still sore but almost back to normal size and I can actually walk on it. We didn't actually leave Vegas until around 11pm, so we just now got home. Time to take a nap before I have to go to work at 2.

| Disneyland Day 4- lolita day |
[16 Oct 2009|12:58pm] |
I give up at posting things in order, deal with it. ;) These are from our last day at Disneyland. We thought it was only going to be a half day because we still had to drive home afterward and the park said they were closing really early (5 or 6) for a special event. Turned out only half the park actually closed that early. We stayed until 7 or 8 enjoying a half empty Fantasyland because everyone thought they had to leave.

| Who is going to see Angelic Pretty @ PMX? |
[15 Oct 2009|05:25pm] |
I was just curious who all plans on going to PMX this year for the Angelic Pretty event? Tickets went on sale last night! :) http://pacificmediaexpo.info/2009/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=57
If you are going will you be attending all events or are you just going for the fashion show and boutique. Personally I have to be back at work Sunday night so I'm pretty sure I'm missing the fashion show but I'll be at the tea party for sure.
Also, what are you wearing to the tea party? Are you sticking with Angelic Pretty, or wearing a different brand to stick with the Alice in Wonderland theme?
Would anyone be interested in a possible dinner meetup on Friday or Saturday night?

| Disneyland Day 3- Pixie Hollow & Toontown at night |
[09 Oct 2009|01:18pm] |
On Sunday we spent the day time at Pyrate Daze and then that night we went to Disneyland. I saw Pixie Hollow all lit up and got excited thinking there would be fairies. There were not. But they let you go play in the fairy meet & greet area and take pictures with the props, that that was pretty cool. Then we went walked by Toontown and saw that it was still opened too. I'm pretty sure Toontown has been closed by dark every other time I've gone.

| Disneyland Day 2 (part 1) Daytime |
[09 Oct 2009|12:38pm] |
I got us a reservation for the Plaza Inn character breakfast for the morning of Matt's birthday. It was going to be a surprise but getting him to agree to waking up before noon, especially on his birthday, was going to be nearly impossible without letting him in on the plan. I always thought character breakfasts were way too expensive and not worth it but it was a lot of fun and the food was actually pretty good.
Captain Hook enjoying breakfast with us.
( Photos from all around the park but mostly character breakfast and petting zoo... )
