So yeah, life is a tiny tad less sucky. Kan-chan is still in town, which is win, we might go to the fair tomorrow if Nii-sama can get us free tickets. Which would rock, cuz I love the fair but have so NOT monies to go. Had the day off yesterday, so me and Kan-chan and Oro-sama got all dressed up in loli and went out photo-ing. Which started as just a photoshoot, but turned into this whole long thing. Oro-sama's gonna make a photo-story out of it and post it up, so when my email decides to WORK and send her the pics, I'll make sure to link to it. We did most of them with my new camera (which is made of awesome and win) bc it has this totally swanky colour-accent setting so I can take a black and white photo with like a red rose in colour or something like that. And yeah, I could do that in photoshop but it's so much cooler to do it with the camera.

Fanfic-muse is happy lately, because I finally got Path to Heaven finished so now I can get on with all the little one-shot challanges I've been meaning to write. Already got 3 out of the way, 3 more to do, picked up another request from a writing meme (no, NOT the kink-meme although I DO have one from there that I might do as well. XD) So expect more fics over the next week or two, then I will hopefully settle back into a sense of relative normalcy fic-wise and NOT do the whole "dry spell" thing where I have like 4 half-written ones that I haven't finished that are taunting me.

Oh, and in total randomness I LOVE my new default icon. IchiRuki cuteness FTW.

K, done bitchranting for now. XD

Alright, so thispast weekend, Fukutaichou-chan and I got the chance to go and do an "official" photoshoot for the troupe. Which is something we've been trying to get done for a very very long time. And considering that we had the entire afternoon to do this in, it rocked pretty damn hard. So there's this place about 45 minutes from my house, over at Duke University campus. Called the Sarah P. Duke Memorial Gardens. I srsly reccommend it to anyone looking to do outdoor photoshooting, ESP. if you're doing a Naruto shoot, as they have a bridge that I swear is Team-7's bridge over in the Asian watergarden parts of it. So anyway, Kan-chan took her Bloodelf costume and I wore my Hinata one and we spent the afternoon posing and shit. It actually was really neat b/c we kept getting stopped by random people who wanted to take our pictures. It was almost like being at con again, only not. Either way, we got a good 60 pictures or so, and I'm currently in the process of cropping and resizing them so that I can upload them and share w/people but I've got one or two uploaded already. I think the shoot went really well, though I wish I'd thought to wear my make-up. My face is rounder then Hinata's and the white contacts make my eyes look smaller unless I line them in a little bit of black.

The only real problem that we ran into was that I forgot my memory card and Kan-chan's didn't hold v. many pictures. Otherwise we probably would have had a ton more, given that my card holds a shit-ton of pictures. And I'm not even sure we'll be ABLE to shoot today in Boone like we'd planned. Not only b/c it's shitty nasty weather, but b/c my fuckin camera got to sit in a puddle of water. That wouldn't be such a bad thing, if not for the fact that the battery case doesn't close all the way. And THAT was the end in the water. It won't turn on right now, and I SRSLY hope that it's just the batteries being dead/shorted out and/or that it just needs to dry out. Either way, the prospect of buying ANOTHER digital camera is not really something I like to think about, even though they're cheaper now then they used to be. It's STILL money that I don't have. And I NEED the camera, for work purposes. I can't exactly photograph kitties for my business if I don't HAVE a camera that works.
