Hahaha, shoot I should have read this first before responding as well. XD We're going to have a black-light room~ I'm excited!

Where do you go to watch the World Cup? For my family, it's always been my grandfather camped in front of Univision yelling at me to translate.

SKATEWORLD~ I am excite.
Black-light room? O:

Facebook says it's your birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAQUA -confetti-

Auricle · « **Reply #202 on:** June 06, 2010, 02:21:07 pm »

holy cow Jaqua, it's your birthday? ~Busts out blowers and party hats~ = O Woo! Happy birthday!

We rented a birthday room package thing, and the room we got will be entirely in blacklight. So wear bright/funny-colored things! XD

goatchild · « **Reply #203 on:** June 06, 2010, 02:25:06 pm »

Happy birthday Jaqua~!!

W00t~ Skateworld! I don't even remember the last time I went skating. XD I'll be sure to wear the whitest/brightest clothes I can find!

Any idea what the time frame for all this awesomeness will be? My little sister's graduation is on Sunday, but I don't think it starts until 2.

Auricle · « **Reply #204 on:** June 06, 2010, 02:30:00 pm »

Well, we're going to be skating in the evening on saturday, around 7:00. You can come over to my house and hang out for a while though. My mom says it's okay for people to start showing up around 4:00. After skating we're going back to my house for a slumber party. In the morning, my mom wants everyone leaving around 11:00 or sooner. So I'm sure you'll make it to anything on sunday afternoon. ' w '

That's awesome, Felix! X3

You would draw something for me~? > w < ~bouncebounce~ I have severe option paralysis, so if you leave it an open-ended question like that... ='D I really love your art style, so anything is fine. What kind of thing would you like to draw?

@Cassiopeia: You probably won't be in Portland, will you? ' w '

@Yagi: -highfive!- = D

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #209 on:** June 06, 2010, 02:56:33 pm »

No. I wish I could go. :<

Felix · « **Reply #210 on:** June 06, 2010, 03:44:13 pm »

Do you have OCs? A favourite series you would like fanart of? I'm willing to try new things but I'm not particularly good at animals. I'm also better at drawing men than women. (The only thing I can think of that I'd absolutely refuse to draw is hardcore porn. I do have some artistic integrity.)
If you can't decide and leave it completely open you'll probably get one of my characters, because that's what happens when people say 'draw something' and don't specify what. Maybe you could browse my DA gallery for ideas?

(also if anyone else wants birthday art, tell me when it is and I'll try not to forget. you may need to remind me because I'm bad at these things.)

@Jaqua: I AM BACK IN PORTLAND NOW.
It looks like we'll be doing our Hippo/Scrap adventure Tuesday (8 June). Probably in the afternoon cause I fail at waking up early. You're welcome to come along and hang out with us. I'll look up bus schedules if that sounds good to everyone. C:

Malaria: ...that sounds terrifying. Like an angry mob. Of zombies that want to eat your brains.

We will probably do multiple trips anyway. I just want to get started soon and Tuesday seemed like it worked for... more than half?

jaqua · « **Reply #214 on:** June 07, 2010, 11:50:19 pm »

PFFFFFFFFFFFT. Thanks for the birthday wishes you guys :'DDDDDDDDD So does that mean that Auricle, Felix, Valeria and I are the coolest since all our birthdays are in June? I think so.

@Felix: FFFF-- IS THAT MY LUC. LUC YOU WHORE. I'm going to draw you something extra special this year to make up for last year's fail. :'DDD
And also I may be hanging out with someone tomorrow but if I'm not then I would like to go craft shopping. Because I haven't been to Scrap in ages.

@Valeria: We generally go to Kells' Irish Restaurant... Dunno if anyone else is familiar with it, but its this Irish pub downtown that's really fun. Plus I can be in there since I still have two years before I'm 21 >| Although this year we might be going to The Thirsty Lion? Either way... A pub. We keep it traditional. Or something.

Felix · « **Reply #215 on:** June 08, 2010, 01:49:15 am »

-EXCITEMENT-
Yes. Yes it is. What can I say I draw the truth.

So I figure I'll be at 10th and BURNSIDE (at the bus stop across the street from Powell's) at around one tomorrow (Tuesday 8 June). If you want to come just meet me there. Or text me - I'm pretty sure most of you have my number by now. I'll also try to check the thread before leaving. I have directions and addresses and I promise I won't get you lost. (also bring bus fare.)

WHEN IS YOUR BIRTHDAY VALERIA?
I WILL DRAW YOU SOMETHING TOO. 8D

Malaria · « **Reply #217 on:** June 08, 2010, 02:54:56 pm »

JUNE 28 : DD
You should draw fem!Worth and Connie once we get those designs sorted out.

fff I can't go to Prince of Persia tomorrow. Family is gonna be around.

jaqua · « **Reply #218 on:** June 08, 2010, 04:20:22 pm »

@Valeria: LAME. Man, I was excited to see you :< But oh well I'm sure we'll see each other soon. I mean it's SUMMER now and everything. But Prince of Persia will be slightly less awesome without you.
... And now you're making me want to draw fem!Connie and fem!Worth.

And crap I totally didn't check this until now. Oops. Which means no scrap for me. But oh well it's not like it's that far and anyway we'll probably just make another trip later. How was it though? Do they have new/cool stuff in?

Kero-sempai · « **Reply #219 on:** June 08, 2010, 06:13:31 pm »

I thought you didn't have any family that lived nearby, Valeria. o: Also. Univision and a grandfther yelling for translations. In plot, that is beautiful. In reality, I can image would wouldn't be so much. What's your record?

OH FFFF-- *had no idea* Happy extremely late birthday, Jaqua. <3

I should come by here more often. I learn stuff about people that way. ಠ_ಠ

Malaria · « **Reply #220 on:** June 08, 2010, 06:23:45 pm »

I have three of five grandparents in Portland, and the other two are in LA. My sister also bussed up for the occasion. Altogether, that is TOO MANY PEOPLE. I prefer no more than two family members in my immediate area at any given moment. Ideally one of them will be my sister, because she is a variety of crazy I can handle.

Felix · « **Reply #221 on:** June 08, 2010, 07:29:55 pm »

No one else showed up and it was too warm and I couldn't justify going alone. Wanna go tomorrow? (or thursday or friday...) Same time/place? (Actually let's meet at pioneer square instead cause I don't like standing around at that bus stop.)

the 25th, but I'm not gonna be back from Italy until the beginning of July. We can do something then... (so uh your birthday present will be late unless I get it done before I leave, Valeria.)

What's this Prince of Persia thing everyone's talking about?

jaqua · « **Reply #222 on:** June 09, 2010, 01:19:08 am »

Okay. I will be there tomorrow. And it will be cool. Also do you usually take the bus? I usually take the max and then just walk up MLK, but then my idea of a good day spent downtown is walking 10 miles all over everywhere. So.

Prince of Persia is a movie based off a video game by the same name, starring one of the hottest men on earth, Jake Gyllenhaal. Also Gemma Arterton who is admittedly gorgeous and I loved her for the short amount of time she was in Quantum of Solace. But yeah. Also it's showing at 3:50 and 7:50 tomorrow... And no times in-between, which is lame, but whatever. (that's in the Pioneer Place theaters at least)

I'm so jealous you're going to be in Italy >'| I want to go sooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaad. But then I don't want to go until I've learned Italian... Which I shall do. Because being in France/Spain/the Netherlands and not speaking the local language kind of sucked hard. :/ But then you will probably be okay, since you took Spanish so long and Spanish and Italian are similar enough...

Felix · « **Reply #223 on:** June 09, 2010, 03:07:37 am »

I'll just BS my way through like I always do. I fit in in European countries even when I don't understand a word they're saying. 8D (I live on the wrong continent... I'm a shitty American.)

We were going to go to Hippo as well. I looked up the buses since most people lack our stamina... nd it's a bit farther from Hippo to Scrap. I figured we could take the 20 from downtown to Hippo, then the 6 from there to Scrap, then take the Max back downtown. Unless you want to do Hippo another time? But I have to pay bus fare anyway to get downtown, so... yeah.
Ah... I might be late since I have to move my stuff out of the front room and I'm not gonna get it done before going to bed. Maybe... two in pioneer square?

jaqua · « **Reply #224 on:** June 09, 2010, 12:49:22 pm »

Oh good, because I'm totally late anyway so two is better. I thought I should check here first just in case you updated and I'm glad I did :| But ohhhhh yeah Hippo that's right. Okay. Then yeah. Bus is fine.

Also thank you Keroooooo :'DD

Felix · « **Reply #225 on:** June 09, 2010, 12:51:18 pm »

HIPPO IS AWESOME YOU GUYS. 8D

Auricle · « **Reply #226 on:** June 11, 2010, 09:00:36 am »

I've never been to Hippo, how was it? = D

So since y'all are coming over tomorrow, I figured I should remind you how to get here. If you're taking the MAX, just head out to Hillsboro and get off at the 3rd Ave/Hillsboro Transit Center station. If you end up missing it, that's okay. The end of the line is only a few blocks away from it (as many of you know. X3). Call me when you're a few stations away (like when you're passing the 12th street station) so I have time to walk down to the TC. If any of you need my phone number, we can swap over PM. Oh, and are you all riding together? ' w '

Also, since this is going to be a slumber party as well, bring a sleeping bag if you have one. If you don't have one or don't feel like bringing one, we have a few extras, and other bedding such-and-such. : D

Felix · « **Reply #227 on:** June 11, 2010, 06:15:07 pm »

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AURICLE!
C8

Riding together is very possible. I might be going to Scrap with Jaqua (and anyone else who wants to come) earlier on saturday.

But since I'm taking the bus/max it may be hard to bring a sleeping bag... they are rather large and unwieldly.

Auricle · « **Reply #228 on:** June 11, 2010, 08:13:01 pm »

Ohmigoshohmigoshohmigosh! Thank you so much Felix! That is so frickin' cool~ Eeeee I'm so printing it out and putting it on my wall. I really love that you included origami (p-p-p-papercraft) in it. <3<3<3 > w < Thank yoouuuuu!

Don't worry 'bout the sleeping bag, we've got you covered. = D

Malaria · « **Reply #229 on:** June 11, 2010, 08:51:22 pm »

I can bring my own sleeping bag, and I'll be maxing on my own 'cause I don't feel like going all the way downtown and then all the way back.

Your present is awesome. Just thought you should know.

General modification of cosplay plans: We were discussing today, and discovered that we're all really meh about doing Succession. As epic as it would be, we have other epic stuff we'd like to do more for fandoms we actually still like. We're pretty sure SK'll be fine, since she wouldn't have to do anything either way, so Felix, as long as you're not horribly disappointed by this turn of events, we'll drop it and do other awesome stuff instead. Like How to Train Your Dragon and Hinabn~.

Felix · « **Reply #231 on:** June 12, 2010, 03:40:22 am »

As cool as it would have been I'm... kind of relieved. xD; It'll be nice to have time for more of the things I really want to do. c: obscure webcomic cosplay = WIN. I've also been thinking that I want to drop teuton. I'm still going to use that chainmail for something, just not Hetalia. (probably Lord of the Rings-related.)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! (sorry I didn't paint it at a printable resolution... I don't usually think about that!)

@Jaqua/anyone else who's taking the max from downtown: what time do you want to meet? (do we still want to do Scrap?)

goatchild · « **Reply #232 on:** June 12, 2010, 11:01:52 am »

Hashi gets off work today at 2pm, and then she'll want to shower and gather her stuff etc, so I'm not sure when she and I will be heading out. >>

Felix · « **Reply #233 on:** June 12, 2010, 11:46:36 am »

I probably won't be able to make it downtown until after two anyway. I'm assuming it's a given that we're meeting at pioneer square? That's where we'd be whether or not we're going to go to Scrap first...

Malaria · « **Reply #234 on:** June 12, 2010, 12:17:11 pm »

Oh darn. I wanted to entice you into doing Teuton. >> A friend of mine is doing young Hungary. You two would be crazy adorable.
But if you were to, say, be a Hobbit, that'd be cool too. ; )

Felix · « **Reply #235 on:** June 12, 2010, 01:42:39 pm »

I might still do it at some point. The chainmail is the biggest part of the costume; once I have that done the rest will be easy to throw together... and I do have that bedsheet. (It would depend on when she's planning on doing it. It might end up being photoshoot-only for me.)

I want to do Gondor!Pippin.

jaqua · « **Reply #236 on:** June 12, 2010, 02:30:07 pm »

Guhhhhhhhhhhhh so much walking and WORLD CUP(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) excitement, I'm not up for Scrap. Will someone text me when you're getting ready to head to Pioneer Square (or wherever)?

And as I said to Valeria already... I hope everyone is ready to hear me yabbering on about World Cup stuff. Or at least today's match. Which was very satisfying even if it was a draw. But hey, I feel like since it tied that America and England can still be friends.

Felix · « **Reply #237 on:** June 13, 2010, 06:14:48 pm »

So I think it was agreed we're going to Scrap sometime next week? I'm leaving thursday, so wednesday is probably not the best option for me. (because I never pack until the last possible minute, hahaha)
Maybe tuesday? That'll give us more time to plan.

Malaria · « **Reply #238 on:** June 13, 2010, 06:40:14 pm »

I like Tuesday.

Felix · « **Reply #239 on:** June 14, 2010, 02:27:43 am »

I'm assuming it's gonna be Tuesday since it's already after two and we haven't made plans yet. I know Auricle wanted to come... anyone else?
Pioneer square is always a good place to meet. I'm thinking about one, unless that doesn't work for you guys.

When are you guys planning on having Hanna cosplays done by? Sakura? (I was going to try to make Veser by this k-con but I'm beginning to think that's not very likely. I'll be able to work on things at school if I bring enough materials.)

OH AND THAT REMINDS ME. JAQUA. WE MUST HAVE A FANG-MAKING PARTY AT SOME POINT.

Auricle · « **Reply #240 on:** June 14, 2010, 11:02:36 am »

Tuesday as in tomorrow, right? = w = What time of day are we planning on? Oh, and where would we be meeting up?

goatchild · « **Reply #241 on:** June 14, 2010, 02:05:13 pm »

I'm interested in going! Tuesday works for me. Assuming I finish most of my dorm packing tonight. |D

I think we are planning to have Hanna done by Sakuracon. Definitely not by Kcon I don't think. >>

Felix · « **Reply #242 on:** June 14, 2010, 07:56:31 pm »

Yes, tomorrow. (I won't be here for the next one.) I'm going to say Pioneer Square at two, but feel free to suggest other things.

That sounds good. I need to make goggles and the harpoon in addition to the hoodie, and I definitely want to have my group things done first.

Malaria · « **Reply #243 on:** June 14, 2010, 08:00:12 pm »

And you don't have to worry about your other cosplay for Sakuracon. : ) YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR AWESOME.

Two's good for me.

goatchild · « **Reply #244 on:** June 14, 2010, 09:43:40 pm »

Two works for me too!

Bwahahah sooo excited for Sakuracon cosplays... assuming I get them all done. @~@ Toothless is gonna kick my butt so hard.

Malaria · « **Reply #245 on:** June 14, 2010, 09:58:44 pm »

I'll help. D:
I'm really excited to make the big fur overcoat and boots. I'm still determined to make those on my own. I feel like they're so disproportionately huge that it'd be worth it to make them myself so I can make them huge and then pad the insides.

Felix · « **Reply #246 on:** June 14, 2010, 10:13:23 pm »

I'm pretty sure I know who I am and I have no idea how you're going to make it work. As in, how you're planning on making me look not disproportionately tiny.
