I looked in the mirror, and my face fell. "I look like an idiot!" I told the mirror. "I look like some kind of deformed pixie! Why did I think up this idea?! I should have stuck to the turtle!"
Now, I know this costume is pretty amaturish, maybe more so than my other cosplays...but so what?! XD It's for charity, and I know more about costume making than everyone in the college (except maybe Robyn). I've made it on the lowest budget possible. And let's face it, the costume is SUPPOSED to look a little like a deformed pixie.
So as i stared into the mirror, and picked up my phone to text Kit and moan about how ugly I am, I paused...
"I'm doing it again!" I thought. "I'm doing it again! No one cares if you look like a pixie. Just finish saftey pinning the stupid thing together (that is how professional I am guys!) and go out tomorrow with your head held high!"
That's right, folks! This pixie with cardboard wings and poster painted pumps and stripey tights is gonna be proud of her handywork tomorrow.....and scream when it falls apart around me! XD

We figured we'd be the only all girl team, though we weren't, but we named ourselves the Pink Ladies and all got matching shirts with our name and number on =D
It was good fun, even if I did get injured (i stopped them from scoring though...it would have been 9 - 0 without my injury!)
That's right folks, we lost 8 -0
In a ten minute game.
We are spectacularly bad XD
P-I-N-K Pink Ladies go all the way, go pink ladies! (at least WE had a cheerleading squad!)

She's beaten every single Final Fantasy Game up to X-2...
I don't think I've even played every single Final Fantasy game...
She said "I beat them all, and then thought that I should go out and get on with my life..."
I knew there wa sa reason i loved this girl. Maybe we're more alike than I first thought XD
(Went to Dabe and Amy's house today. It was so much fun! Hannah's living with them now. So it was me, Hannah, Simon, Ben, Ruth, and of course Dabe, Amy and Isobel played guitar hero and jenga and terrorised Isobel (she's so adorable!). It was great fun! =D )

I THINK it went well...gonna have to wait a week to see.
The guy interviewing me was some eastern european professor who i couldn't understand too clearly and who didn't really understand me XD
He asked me what my favourite topic in maths was, and so I told him Imaginary Numbers. He jumped on it, and started asking me questions! I very nearly paniced.
But it was okay...he didn't expect me to know everything, he just wanted to see what I did know. What I didn't know he explained, and I could see him carefully watching my reaction.He told me off for asking about careers. He said something like "You are a clever girl who loves maths! Careers are not important, only maths is important!"He showed me his name card and said "See, i have a very long name. I do not want you to remember my name. Just know that if you come here (and I hope you do come here!) that you can find teh professor with the long name, and I will help you with explaining things like this that you do not understand. I can see that you love maths, and this is very good!"

I wrote ages ago, about how the guys in college who game all sit in a little huddle together. I have tried, and failed, to get into the group. Dean, the only one I knew, HATES cosplay, so i was a little doomed, really...
Anyways, Robyn's friends with Anthony, who at one point in my life hated my guts, was sat with Robyn and his friend today, in a corner of teh study room. We've talked a couple of times about anime...mentioned it more like, since he was talking to Robyn. Anyways, i wandered over to find out what my best friend was up to, "Watching pokemon." was the response. We were on teh subject of games, so I told her Mike had found a decent DS emulator, and some high quality games, and did she want me to send them too her. I could see the guys' ears prick up. Anthony mentioned emulations, and said "I'd love to get Ocarina of time on my PSP."
I smiled, and said "I can't help you with that, but i do have a working emulator and a copy of the game for the PC."
His jaw dropped, and you could see his brain ticking. "You...have an illegal copy of occarina of time...YOU have an illegal copy of Zelda?!"
"Oh, it's not technically illegal, since we do own a copy of the game," I explained.
His face fell a little. "Of that one anyways." He smirked.
And from that point on, I was somehow instantly accepted. XD I dug myself into a hole by fangirling over super smash brothers, but only since I love Kirby (I like cute pink eating things, so shoot me!)

Mike has gotten me ADDICTED to Skillet...
I LOVE their songs so much XD *can't stop singing them*
Their music is brill (they use violin! <3) and their Lyrics...ah, they're so epic! XD
My favourite song is probably "The Last Night"
The Lyrics are so simple and beautfiul.
"This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be.
The last night you'll spend alone,
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go,
I'm everything you need me to be.
The Last night away from me"
Beautiful! Love em!

I love Andy XD
He's so epic XD Today, before we went Treasure Hunting in town we hung around in the office at church for a bit.
We had some deep, spiritual discussion. I read the first chapter of a deep, spiritual book. Then Hannah arrived, and we messed around for a bit.
I love how he always quotes bible verses totally out of context at her!
Like, she goes to lower the seat of his chair, so he goes crashing to the ground, and he shouts "All things are made by Him and through Him!"
Well, he's right, so you can't argue XD But if you say "Is that even relevant, Andy?" He'll shout "OF COURSE IT IS! GOD IS ALWAYS RELE
I love those guys XD
As I set off for the train station at the end of our morning evangelising, I gave Hannah a big hug. "Yes," said Andy, "That's right, you have to give her a long, drawn out goodbye, you're not gonna see each otehr for another...ooo, 3 hours?"
Honestly Andy, we're the Hannahs, it's painful to be seperated from your twin! :P

I have the new Newday CD!
My wonderful mother surprised me with it today <3 She'd heard Rachel and I discussing it. I said I'd get it for Christmas (that's the normal drill). She decided to buy it for us all, as a surprise. She's so lovely!
It's...a lot shorter than the last one. Well, technically it's only 1 song and an introduction shorter, but cos I really don't like one of the Lou Fellingham songs, it's 2 songs shorter :P Half of them are hers, actually. It annoys me >< But there was no Paul this year, and Simon only did slower songs...guess they had to had some upbeat ones. And no DVD!
They seem to have lowered the standard, really :P
Most of the songs are slower, and there's a hymn on there this year. Normally they put the hymns on the CD from the leader's conference, but this year we have "How Great Thou Art." I love that hymn so much! Yay!
(I dunno why I don't like Lou Fellingham on this CD, i was listening to Purple In the Fishtank the other day, and I love it. Her newer songs bug me most, I think XD)- Mood:

The cosplay meet up on Saturday was soooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!
I had a great time =D
Gill and I travelled to Manchester to meet up with some cosplaying friends of hers. After passing the Hetalia group (one of whom kept glancing at us as though thinking "are they supposed to be with us?!") we met up with Gill's friends...who's first question was "do we know you people?!" XD
Actually, i did recognize a few faces, some from the meet up in the summer at the castle, and one from two ReCons and midlands expo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago! XD Only Nataniel remembered me though.
Everyone was super friendly =D I had a great day. I shared out sweets and took some pictures (hint, you always make more friends if you share out Haribo XD)
I got to wear Sakura tooooo! (and half freeze to death, that skirt is too short!) And rollerblade! <3 Thanks Kate for holding my hand, or I probably would have died, I've not bladed in years...
I ended up coming home with a big grin, a Lilo and Stitch badge (this is Scrump, I made her!), two email adresses...and a plushie commision?!
XD It was fun! I will be there next week! (be where?! I don't know?!....WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!? *wi

I jumped at a girl we hang out with the other day, for saying something about the BNP that SERIOUSLY creeped me out.
I replied with "I don't want to listen to the man speak: I know what he stands for, and I know I will never vote for him."
She answered "Well if you don't listen to him, how will you know what he stands for, huh?!"
Our conversation deteriorated into a near shouting match, and eventually she said something like "They say they aren't racist!"
I replied "I could say I wasn't human, wasn't female, and wasn't wearing red. It wouldn't make it true."
"They just want to put British priority first! They want to care for people born in this country."
"The way they do that is racist. They are saying that white people born in the UK are worth more than anybody else."
"Well I think we deserve priority! You're horrible, implying that I'm racist!"
"Look, if you think that you are better, because of where you are born or the colour of your skin then You Are Racist. That's what racism is, and it's an evil thing."
She was in a mood with me all day XD
I've never confronted them, and never will.
But if I could ask, I'd want to know what I did to deserve it...sometimes, I just wish I knew what I'd done...

After forgetting to set my alarm and getting ready in 10 minutes flat, I was in a slightly hyperactive mood by the time I climbed into the minibus in Bolton.

Yes, i do find myself thinking what others will think
With writing it helps a bunch! It makes me curve my ideas into a comprhendable plot, sort out my grammar, quadruple check my spelling, make sure I understand my own metaphors ect. ect.
...but with cosplay it really DOESN'T help. I seem to be able to learn from my mistakes with everythign but that. Maybe the simple reason is, people know I'm sensitive, and so won't openly say anything...so instead of a "Hannah, that seam is utter fail, go redo it" to which I'd laugh and say "You're right, I'm rubbish at that!" and skip off to do it again, I get a "It's good, it's good, honest!" so I sit there, knowing it's rubbish, thinking I'm going mad, and drowning in self pity...maybe...
Guess it shows the best intentions sometimes don't always give the best results...
XD- Mood:creative
I sit at the front, and I doodle.
I take notes, but I doodle in the margins and around the notes and stuff. My second ever teacher told my mum this:
"I'll watch Hannah when I'm talking to the class. She's always playign with her fingers, or fiddling with her hair, or drawing, so I'll think 'ah hah! This time I've got her'. I'll say 'Hannah, what did I just say?'. Then she'll sit up straight, and totally clueless, she'll repeat word for word the last 6 paragraphs. I don't know how she does it."
I guess that sums me up even now XD

I haven't yet...
Guess I would do if I could be bothered with social networking sites, but one of the reasons I won't get face book is this, actually XD
I do often wonder what my best friend from primary school is up to though...
You know, I don't, yest I do...
Actually...
I believe that God has a plan for my life, and that he's planned something for me. That may be a partner, and if so it's the most amazing partner: of course he is, since God made us with the knowledge that one day we'd be together.
But on the other hand, I believe who I love is my choice. On that side of the coin my "soulmate" is whoever I let it be. Love is most definatly a choice, since you can't force someone to love.
Have I let them get away? Maybe I have. Maybe I wasn't listening to what God had planned XD But he has ways of reprimanding me when I do. I'm trying to listen to him more =D

Stolen from Lit, and everyone on my friends list is tagged, mwhahahahaha! (well, I don't think I even KNOW 7 people :P)
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".
1. I always take too much work upon myself. For example, not only am I taking too many subjects this year, I'm also making way too much cosplay, writing too much, taking french in my free time, joined the church choir, continuing to play the violin, and hand making everybody's birthday presents...*dies*
2. I panic about friendships. I really want to cling to people. Most people hate that, and that means I lose friends, and that makes me cling more, and so on...it's a vicious circle, but friends are so very precious I can't seem to treat them in any other way.
3. I like cosplay too much. TOO MUCH! I'm not sure it's a good thing...
4. I've never been depserate for a boyfriend. It's weird, a great deal of girls are. Even knowing what it's like, and missing it, I still don't feel I need it...it's just...a nice, added extra XD
5. I get tired very easily, and need my sleep. Most of my friends can stay up all night without too much effect. I need bed by ten or I die XD
6. If I feel really down, I do one of two things. I pray. Then, I watch Lilo and Stitch. Often, when I pray, I thank God that such a silly thing can make me feel happy again XD
7. I like to read my texts aloud. Texts I'm sending or recieving, I think that I like to involve the people around me in the conversation. I never realised it until Katte commented on it over the summer. Ah, it amusd me no end when I found out.
