I tried to start a PM chain, but the Kcon forums don't let you PM more than two people at once, and I didn't have everyone's emails. >>
This is a thread for Hashi, Malaria, Felix, Jaqua, Auricle, Kero-sempai, and myself (and anyone I missed >> ) to plan when we wanna get together to have our costume making party. Each of you should reply to this thread so I know you found it! Then we can get down to planning! : D
-
I'm free pretty much whenever... So plan away my dears : D
-
We should figure out if all our spring breaks overlap. I am out from March 20-28.
-
I'll be in portland on the ... thirteenth, I think. I'm leaving on the 26th, if I remember correctly. (the same break as Malaria's minus the last weekend. plus the previous week because budget cuts.)
for a meeting place... as long as it's in Portland or reachable by bus/max/etc. Or if someone can give me a ride that's cool too.
-
I'm free on the 13th and 14th and from the 22nd through the 26th. (I have all kinds of C.A.R./D.A.R. crap to do on the weekend in spring break. ' w ';)
I don't think I'll actually have the stuff to be making progress on a costume, so is it okay if I bring papercrafts to make or something just so I look busy? = w =
-
Like we'd stop you from making adorable papercraft.
-
...looks like we're meeting sometime between the 22nd and the 26th then, cuz my and Hashi's spring break is the same week as Malaria's. XD It's fine with me if we meet in my dorm room. I just have to make sure I tidy it up so there isn't stuff everywhere like there usually is. : P And my roommate doesn't care either, and probably won't be there.
-
How are we going to fit five working cosplayers into your dorm room? XD
I could ask about my house, but I'd feel kind of bad ruining my mother's day like that. ._.
-
but Yagi's dorm is OH SO SPACIOUS.
seriously you should see mine I'm sure I've seen larger closets.
-
As far as dorm rooms go, it is quite spacious, yes. And I can make it bigger if I push my bed against the wall. It could work. Also, I don't really wanna lug my sewing machine all the way out to Beaverton. >>
-
That wouldn't be fun.
ugh I need to get my act together if I want to finish all my costumes on time. (well Adam is easy but the other ones...)
WE WILL MAKE IT WORK. SUCH IS THE EXTENT OF OUR AWESOME.
-
YES WE SHALL. AND WITH SIX OF US ALL TOGETHER, OUR AWESOME WILL BE SO POWERFUL THAT IT WILL BEND THE RULES OF THE UNIVERSE TO DO OUR BIDDING. And then we will have finished cosplays and all will be well. : D (cuz that means I at least won't be spending waaay more money than I should on costumes for at least a month or two)
-
I would offer my house as a possibility, but you guys probably don't want to come all the way out to Hillsboro. My mum does have a sewing machine and a serger though. There's plenty of space to fit many people~ = 3
-
I'd offer my house, too, but if everyone was going to trek out to Hillsboro, Brittany's would be more convenient overall, because it has easy max access/the sewing machine (that Yagi wouldn't have to lug. : D).
*late* M-My break is the same as Valeria/Hashi/yours. The plausible dates are good for me~
@Malaria: ...She can't dislike hosting so much, can she? ;;
(I have all kinds of C.A.R./D.A.R. crap to do on the weekend in spring break. ' w '; )
Yes you do. ಠ_ಠ The universe is out for your free time this break.
-
No, but it'd cut into one of her work days. And everything=stress for her.
-
I don't understand people like that because I'm pretty easygoing. I rarely get stressed.... I guess I just don't see the point when it's something you can't change anyway.
I don't even know where Hillsboro is. I like the idea of being in Portland because I'll fail less. (and I can probably remember where Yagi's dorm is this time. Probably. Though the last time really wasn't my fault.)
Hmmm. Do we have possible dates yet? Also we can hang out more than one day... I'm in town for almost two weeks. I think that's a good idea because I really don't have anything better to do and if I'm just lurking around at home my mother will probably try to make me do stupid boring things.
-
-stalks-
-
If you can get up here, you'd totally be welcome to jam yourself into Yagi's dorm with us.
-
I only wish.
Stupid mountains. :B
-
AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH
Are you ever in Portland for stuff other than cons? We'll probably still be sewing stuff through the summer. xP
-
AIN'T NO VALLEY LOW ENOUGHH~
Yeah I am, though it's usually for family stuff and I have a very limited time. Like I might be going to Vancouver someday around the 24th of this month for a dentist appointment. But it will only be a day trip and it is 3 hours both ways. And I was just up there for a wedding. Stuff like that.
-
3:
We'll have to do a better job actually seeing you at con this time. Coming to the Sak panel?
-
For sure. :D
-
I'd be fine with Auricle's house. I just have to make sure I make the stuff I need to work on portable. I tend to work by grabbing random stuff from around my room when I need it. >> And we could definitely meet for more than one day, maybe one day at Auricle's house and one day in my dorm?
OMG WE SHOULD MAKE PEEP SMORES. I HAVE PEEPS. AND A MICROWAVE. AND A STOVE. 8DDD
@Felix: More chainmail love~! And Hillsboro is at the veeerrry end of the Blue Max line going west. It can be another adventure, like riding the WES!
-
WHEEE ADVENTURE~! We should go together so I don't get lost. I don't get lost easily but Hillsboro sounds like the sort of place that's begging to get lost in.
Marshmallow creeps me out. I will play with it but not eat it.
It has weird Felix-repelling ingredients in it.
-
IIII dont really have anything to work on haha... Um. I need to add trim to Germany, and sew on fur. o_o;
but I'll happily help anyone else!
Also, sorry about replying so late haha. I was there when Yagi made this thread so I just..never thought to reply >> oops
-
@Kero: I know. ;_; It's going to eat my life. Oh~ I found Interview with the Vampire, if you still want to borrow it. : D
@Felix: Don't worry. As long as you're traveling with Malaria or Yagi you'll get off at the right stop, and from there my house is only three blocks away. I can come pick you guys up at the station. = 3 If you ever find the urge to check out Hillsboro, you'll probably find that the downtown area (where I live) has a small-town type feel and that there are a lot of antique stores. Other than downtown most of it is urban sprawl. Hillsboro is not in fact very hilly, it was named after it's founder, David Hill, who is buried in the Hillsboro pioneer cemetery. I get to go and put flowers on his grave every memorial day 'cause of D.A.R. = w =
-
It would depend on the type of small town. There are towns like Ashland where the main street is lined with cool shops, and there are creepy small towns (like the one we went to JoAnn's in) where there's nothing but a shady-looking shopping centre and a gas station and a few fast-food restaurants. Hopefully Hillsboro is more Ashland-like. (but Ashland is also a tourist town...)
-
Felix: Tigard isn't that scary. >>; Hillsboro really neat and clean, and a lot of the buildings are styled to look old, so it's pleasant overall.
Hashi: I can keep you busy. There's still Erik to do after Austria and Dib. -thumbs up-
-
You guys are making me want to go to Hillsboro now. I have a secret and severe weakness for antique shops :|
-
Not so much scary as... dull.
WE SHOULD CHECK THEM OUT WHILE WE'RE THERE.
I WILL SAVE YOU FROM SPENDING ALL YOUR MONEY JAQUA.
MY MISERLYNESS WILL RUB OFF ON YOU.
-
No, but it'd cut into one of her work days. And everything=stress for her.
Ah. The poor woman. ;-; What occupation does she work?
@Auricle: I actually got lucky and found a book I was looking for at the library, for once. I have a serious love/hate thing going on with it now, and I need to get myself the second book. (I feel bad for Lestat. I liked him. ;-; ) Thank you for thinking of me~
@Yagi: ...I think we would have to. Somehow I don't see enough of the work getting done in one day with one sewing machine. xD YES, WE SHOULD. >8D I really want to be there to see that. And maybe catch it on tape. WHO BETS THEY'LL CATCH FIRE? 8DDD
@Felix: Not so much dull as "you had to be there" to get it. Or "not user-friendly." That's what I feel, anyway. XD
Antique shops~ There's some neat things in LeStuff. We'll all go pop into a couple if they're open. : D
-
@Felix: Malaria pretty much summed it up. Except that a lot of the houses actually are pretty old. My house was built in 1890. : D
@Jaqua: Please visit anytime you feel like it~
@Kero: I have most of The Vampire Chronicles, so you could borrow at least through the sixth book from me. ' w '
Heeey everyone. So my older sister and some of her friends and I are going to have a picnic/blossom viewing party this thursday near my house. If any of you are free and would like to, you're welcome to join~ We'll be providing lunch and tea and snacks for everyone.
-
I WOULD IF I WAS THERE BUT I'M NOT. D8
-
I might go. If I get enough homework/studying done. Curse you finals. @~@
-
Oh finals.
I have one tomorrow at eight in the morning.
trying to go to sleep and get up that early will just make everything worse, so I slept this afternoon and I'm just going to stay up all night... it made sense in my head.
I need some way to occupy myself now. For the next... eh, four hours. Maybe if I kick my motivation enough I'll actually have the willpower to draw. 8D;;
-
Yagi, we're all going to be meeting at my house around noonish. If you're definitely coming, can you call me that morning to let me know, and also call a couple of stops before your train gets in so I can come get you at the station? = 3
So since we're going to be getting together twice while Felix is in Portland, what dates should we meet? ' 3 '
-
I just remembered I have class tomorrow from noon to 2pm (you'd think I'd remember something like that). So I guess I won't be going. : x
I vote we get together any two days between the 23rd, 24th, or 25th. I'd rather not meet on Friday the 26th cuz my roommate's boyfriend arrives Saturday to stay with us for a week, and I'd like to get as much of my Sakuracon packing as possible done before then.
-
Also on the 26th I might be on the way back to Ashland already.
Huh I stayed up all night and I'm not tired at all. is that weird?
-
That's okay, Yagi. ' w ' Should we meet two days in a row or have a day inbetween? ' 3 '
Felix, that is weird. Cool, but weird. : D
-
8D
I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN TONIGHT WHY IS THIS SO FUN?
...I don't know. I don't think I'm doing anything else on those days so... anything works for me?
also I may come downtown the week before to lurk around and generally be a creeper and hang out with whoever happens to be around. just so you guys know. those of you who live/go to school downtown. I kind of don't have anything better to do.
-
@Felix: By the week before, do you mean next week? Me and Hashi will be around until Thursday probably. : 3
How about we meet the 23rd and 25th so we have a day in between to recover from awesomefuntime overload. Do we wanna meet at Auricle's house first, or my dorm? Either works for me.
-
uhh. yeah, that one. xD; (I could have just said that to begin with...)
WHAT HOW IS OVERLOAD POSSIBLE.
but I'm cool with whatever. I'll be able to commandeer my brother's bus pass for that whole week so ...
-
Alrighty. I think those days might be perfect for me, or at least close, since the 22nd I'm probably going on a road trip up to Seaside. For like a day. But a road trip nonetheless. That will be a busy week for me xD yayyyyy
@Felix: um we should have a sleepover when you get into town y/y? When's your first day of break again?
-
YES WE SHOULD.
I'll be back on Saturday the thirteenth. I'll most likely arrive in the late afternoon/evening, depending on when we leave. (which probably won't be too early seeing how late I've been staying up. or maybe I'll pull another all-nighter and sleep in the car...)
-
Okay. I might have to have surgery this weekend but if I do I'll pop some vicodin and deal with it. And then you can listen to me complain about how hungry I am. 8D (because i might have to have a tonsillectomy and removing tonsils makes swallowing painful or so i have heard)
But yeah. Call me or something when you're here and we can make some plans.
This is definitely an on-topic post.
-
we're talking about meeting, right? hey, it's more on-topic than some of the stuff we clutter the hetalia thread with.
okay! I'll call whenever. BE SURE TO PICK UP.
AND HAY LOOK FOR ONCE MY POST ISN'T AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE.
-
Why don't we meet at Yagi's dorm first and then my house second? = 3
It's White Day this weekend~ I want to celebrate and feed people cookies. = w =
-
That's perfect for me : D because depending on what time we're meeting I may be the teeniest bit late and I think I'll be able to find Yagi's dorm faster than Auricle's house by myself, if the need arose xD
Speaking of which, what time should we plan to meet? Like, morning, afternoon...
-
That's fine with me. And I say 11am at the very earliest. I don't start functioning till around them on non-school days. >>
-
11:00 sounds perfectly fine to me. : D
So when you all come to my house, what would you like to eat for lunch?
-
Gluten-free pot pie? :D
I can eat eggs now. Does that make stuff easier?
-
I wish I knew how to make pot pies, 'cause I would totally make you a gluten-free one. ='D Did you like that curry from that one time? I could make lots of that. It's got flour as a thickening agent as you know, but it's not that much. ' 3 '
And yes, you being able to eat eggs does make things easier. At least as far as making desserts goes. = D
-
Yeah, that sounds fine. And delicious~.
You and Kero are both so awesome about making room for my crazy diet. I can never thank you enough. <3
-
Don't worry about it~ My family has crazy dietary stuff I have to take into account too, so it's really no problem. ' w '
My mom suggested some other things I could make. Chili, with everything on the side so you can add what you want or tacos, which is the same principle. Or we could all do a pot luck sort of thing. Please make suggestions, everyone. = D
-
Posting for me and Hashi cuz she is a better person than me and is actually doing her homework right now.
I just remembered Hashi will quite possibly be working until noon on those days, so... we may be a little late on the day we go to Auricle's house. >> We can max out to Hillsboro as long as someone can meet us at the stop there and make sure we find the right house. : D Meeting at my dorm the first day is fine with me too. It's pretty easy to get to, since it's just one continuous straight line from Pioneer Square. I can even wait at the Max stop or outside the building to make sure ya'll find it, since I have to swipe my card to get us up the elevator anyway. : 3 Oh, and if we wanna eat at some point, there are several places on campus, or I have a stove and microwave if we wanna get all fancy and make mac'n'cheese or something. |D
For food stuffs at Auricle's house, Hashi can't eat citrus, which includes tomatoes. Other than that, neither of us are too picky. We could probably bring something if we have a potluck, though I can't guarantee it would fit everyone's diets. Unless Valeria wants to send us some recipes of things she can eat.
I really wish I could do something for White Day. But I'll prolly be stuck in the dorms doing all the homework I still have left. : (
-
Um. I'm not allergic to any foods but I'm vegetarian and don't eat cheese. I also try to eat mostly healthy food (ie, not over-processed crap). but Jaqua can attest to the fact that I don't eat much anyway so you probably don't need to worry about it. (maybe that's why I never get sick....)
Also if you don't mind, I might join Hashi and Yagi in coming later. Because I tend to stay up all night when I don't have class the next morning. literally. but I'll go whenever you guys do just in case I manage to get lost.
-
@Felix: I don't think you ever eat. I think that every time you do it's entirely for show. Even my mom is like "WHY DOESN'T SHE EAT, IS SHE HUNGRY, SHOULD I MAKE HER EAT SOMETHING" whenever you come over. i'm on to you
I'm just going to put out there that I have no dietary constraints whatsoever... And if it's cool, I'll go with Yagi and Hashi and Felix because even noon is early for me. :/ lol
-
OH DAMN YOU'RE ON TO ME.
also, so true. to be there at eleven I'd have to get up in time to bus downtown and then take the max... and this is going nowhere good. xD; unless you guys like Felixzombie. which I assure you is not as fun as it sounds.
-
Felix: I like all kinds of Felix that can sew.
Yagi: I can eat kartoffelpouffer, since my gypsy doctor says I can have eggs.
I can show up whenever I crawl out of bed. >> Which is anywhere between 8 and 1 on a day off.
-
Does Felixzombie have good hand-eye coordination? : D Welcome back to Portland, dear~
Yagi: I think we should probably bump the time down a bit. 12:00 to 1:00 would be a bit friendlier to the lot of us, I believe.
Malaria: I don't know what it is about you that compels us to cook for you. I think you're the kind of person people refer to when they say "I just want to take her home and feed her! <33" but that's just me forcing my opinion. XD
Gluten-free pot pie is really simple and easy to make. I need to fuss at my mother to take me by the grocery store to get the flour anyway, so I could bring that, if you guys would like.
Is that what they call latkes in Germany? 8D
Auricle: I was going to call you today to hassle you about making me those chocolate cookies you told me about, and then my grandparents came over. xD;;; I fail. Forgive me? I'll bake something for you in the meantime~ <33
Maybe I could use your family as guinea pigs for some of my cooking experiments? : o If anything, I know you love food and will most likely eat whatever interesting thing I come up with. xD <3
A very late happy White day to everyone~ I hope you had a good day today! : D
-
Normally I inspire fear or bemusement, so that's just you guys.
They're pretty much the same recipe, yeah. XD We made them for the potluck last Kcon.
It was... I'll call it an adventure.
White Day=Pi Day
-
Making kartoffelpouffer was a FABULOUS adventure! Mostly cuz it involved destroying Valeria's kitchen instead of my own. |D I should probably be banned from ever making anything that requires more skill than boiling water. So when I saw "we" will bring something, I really mean Hashi will make something in my kitchen, since her dorm room doesn't have one.
HAPPY PI DAY EVERYBODY~! And happy White Day. : D
3.1415926535897932384626433... <-- all from memory BWAHAHAHAHA
-
Felixzombie would probably sew its fingers to the costume and then be incapable of figuring out why they are stuck together. (ie, Felixzombie is not ideal.)
...eight? on a day off? THAT IS MADNESS.
I have to say later would be better. xD; it is best that I avoid zombification.
I am shocked you remembered that much of pi. of course, I was walking back from the store with the guy who lives next door to me and I started teaching him atomic theory and how radioactivity works so I probably shouldn't talk...
-
I always forget about the numbers. ._.
...Oh dear. ;; If that's the case, then I won't let this meeting be any earlier for your safety (and possibly the safety of those around you and breakable objects/drapery. XD).
TEACH ME ABOUT RADIOACTIVITY AND ATOMIC THEORY, FELIX! 8DDD
Nice. xD I'd like to hear about that adventure in explicit detail whenever you have the time.
Yagi: ...I love you. 8D

OTL
Edit: THIS WAS MY 1800TH POST : D
-
Uhhh. It's easier to discuss this in person, but sure! xD; Hahaha I got a lot of practise. In chemistry I was the one everyone came to when they needed help. Apparently I'm good at explaining science.
OOOOH LOOK JAQUA SOMETHING SHINY (http://phantomteacup.deviantart.com/art/Steampunk-Alizaron-157418742). Because you never check your messages and dammit I want to show someone. xD; I'll bring it tomorrow (or whenever I wind up coming over) but... yeah.
-
PURDY ARTS [/late]
anyway, did we ever decide the exact whens and whats of us meeting?
-
I think we did... ish. Someone should confirm it.
I read back through some earlier posts, and it looks like the first one is going to be Tuesday at Yagi's dorm, starting between 12 and 1 because some of us fail at waking up earlier than that. I believe the second is Thursday at Auricle's house at the same time, though I don't know where/when those of us in Portland were going to meet beforehand. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though. xD; (actually, please do. it would be just like me to show up on the wrong day entirely.... but then several of you do have my number so if I'm mysteriously absent just text me.)
-
Sounds about right to me. Hashi and I could prolly meet ya'll at Pioneer Square on Tuesday if you want, cuz I have a feeling we'll be in that general area getting brunch at the food carts anyway. Or ya'll can just find your way to my dorm with Valeria/Felix/anyone else who remembers where it is. Whatever works!
Also: SECONDING THE PURDY ARTS. I actually saw it when you posted it on DevART, but then I had to go finish my finals, so I forgot to comment. 8D;;
-
Hahahaha I can probably remember where it is. Probably. If not ... that's what phones are for.
Is there anything I should bring besides the stuff I'm going to be working on? I'll bring some of my chainmail...
-
@Yagi: It would be wonderful of you to guide those of us who are directionally impaired to your dorm. I would get terribly lost otherwise. ='D
@Felix: That is so pretty! > w < Yeah, I have nothing better to say, but I really really like it just so you know.
-
Okay, so I guess I'll meet ya'll at Pioneer Square tomorrow at... 1pm? And then we'll have an oh-so-thrilling two-stop max ride to my dorm. XD Hopefully my room will be clean before then. >> Or maybe we'll jack Hashi's room since her roommate isn't here (and her room is already clean). |D
-
Okay... but eh, why not walk? 8D;
But yeah, meeting at Pioneer works too. Since there is a small chance I won't be able to find it. (I can find every other PSU building... I only seem to have trouble with that one.)
-
So tommorrow, all of you are going to be trekking out to Hillsboro from Portland or Beaverton, which are all considerably far away. And since we want to get more work done, but not ride the MAX around at night or change arrival time too much, I was wondering if you wouldn't be opposed to spending the night at my house. :3
We'd all go to Britany's house and stay late, and then my mom would drive us to my place so we could sleep. I've got a nice big space and a couple of big air mattresses, as well as the couch, so we would all fit quite comfortably. You could shower that night or in the morning, and take the MAX in the latter. What do you say? : D
-
I can come stay the night, Savannah~ : D
-
I should probably go home and work on papers. ._.
-
Yay, Britany~! : DD
If you would like, you could bring the instructions and a USB key and write some on my computer, Valeria. We'll probably end up setting up in the bonus room anyway, so you can attempt to multi-task. : D
But that's me giving you excuses. >>;;
I get having to write papers over breaks. I'd like to have you, but if you really just can't, then you education comes first. <3
-
hahaha no, writing papers at your house will be negative productivity. XD Thanks for the offer, though.
-
This is Hashi stealing Yagi's computer while shes sews ahaha
Unfortunately, I have work at 5:30 am Friday so my chances of spending the night anywhere is none :< This also means I will have to leave Thursday about 5 or 6...sorry guys
-
I'd love to but I'm having dinner with my dad and I have to be home by 6.30 so we don't miss the reservation. That means I'll have to leave at 4.30-5 which won't give me a lot of time, but I'll come hang out anyway for as long as I can. 8D Maybe over the summer sometime? I don't have any plans other than Italy and k-con, unless someone has been deceiving me. (I'd better have a lot of time so I can get everything done...)
