the wonders of selective grammar usage

I haven't uploaded the pictures from my camera yet, but here's a few from the Maryland trip. <3
If I can find a place to host some of the video, you'll get that too... eventually.
PAX is awesome. The Minibosses <3 me. eeek.

... as a certain friend once wrote in a certain post, ( you probably don't want to know. trust me. ) ::waves fist + asian glare = really pissed at this very moment::

I'm updating too much.  Now, my LiveJournal priveleges will be revoked.  Eek.

However, I did update my 1UP blog, finished my review for Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, and wrote a short commentary for Got Game (the latter two were for Got Next -- tomorrow, it's copy-editing day for you Deeko lovers out there!).

It's weird... when I get the urge, I have to go with it right then and there lest I lose the passion.  I really like my review this time around -- rather than the paint-by-numbers deals that both my Sprung and Wario Ware: Touched reviews felt like, this one was way more Luana.  I hate writing reviews with a passion mainly because of slipping into those formulaic tendencies and ruts, but this review is different.  Basically, it's written in the format of a letter to Natsume.  Chris liked the idea, so I just clickity-clacked away.

It's weird, because I had an extremely good day today, and usually happiness != creativity. I'll take what I can get, though! XD

I kinda went into a variant on what my nixed-for-the-time-being gender thing would have been in my commentary.  I hope it goes over well.

As for preparations, I'm pretty much packed.  Found my black hoodie, and ran off to JCPenney's to pick up the tank for my date outfit.  Oh. My. Lord.  I fit a medium shirt.  A MEDIUM.  That's crazy talk right there.  Tomorrow I'm going to spend the rest of my money on a green shirt and purple pants for my Otakon outfit, and my mom's going to work on my headpiece on the next couple of days.  She says it'll be easy enough to do, and I trust her.  She's one hell of a seamstress, I tell you -- my whole family is.  Chris, you really should fly over here sometime and just watch them all go.  It's fantastic.  I could start a sweatshop and make them all work for free.  I still remember Tsao telling me years ago that my name was meant to be on a label: "What are you wearing?" "Oh, it's a Luana Rawlins."

I can't believe I wasn't able to talk to Jeb on his birthday.  What a loser of a best friend I must be. -_- I hope your plans were spifftastic, dear.
