contrail

5 days ago was Denny's (InkReprints) birthday so a bunch of lovely ladies and I made a birthday chorus for him~ ;u;

This one I'm particularly proud of for 3 reasons:
1) IT SOUNDS SO PRETTY. EVERYONE SOUNDS SO GOOD.<3 THE ART AND ANIMATION ARE ADORABLE AND PERFECT.

2) This is seriously the smoothest, least stressful, and most cooperative collaboration project I've ever been a part of. I highly appreciate that!

3) This is the first time--after looking into more advanced mixing--that a mix done completely by me (timing, tuning, volumes, EQ, effects, mastering) has been released. AND I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THAT. I'm not the best mixer but I think I'm improving, and becoming more independent and have been looking into more areas that I previously really sucked at. I spent quite a bit of time working on this. Plus the mix was done on time for Denny's birthday. So I'm proud of myself ^^

Me

And so I unintentionally wrote a poem while I was talking nonsense to myself out loud while undressing after a really long, tiring day at work
8 and a half busy hours of work on 4 hours of sleep
I feel like a robot and I am not sane
It went a little something like this

"Today I am not an existing human being.

I am a me. Merely a me.

Me's don't care--not about a single hair.

And me's don't worry--they waddle, not scurry.

Me's are cool, as igloos can be.

Hey, I wrote a poem. And now I need to use the restroom."

Sweetiex2

I was in Pan/Mekelba/247's very belated birthday chorus!

These lines are from SO long ago though LOOL... I had no idea that this project had been revived, or that all the lines came in, or that it was even being mixed--so this is a pleasant surprise. ;v; (Can I just mention how much I like the colors in the animation and how befitting it all is?)

will forever be remembered as "the summer I felt like the heroine of a shoujo manga." hehehe

REAL LIFE

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SUMMER??

I currently have 3 spheres of irl friends:
1) online-based friends [Chiisana/#TeamSiliconValley/#TeamNorCal]
2) friends from high school
3) the guys that went to the other high school, with whom I reunited with a little over 2 weeks ago and started hanging out with

AND IN THESE PAST 2 WEEKS, BASICALLY ALL OF THESE SPHERES HAVE BEEN ACTIVE.. Like I've actually been going out of the house almost every day, and if not, then there was at least an invite?? THIS IS REALLY WEIRD AND IT FEELS ABNORMAL TO HAVE A REAL LIFE LIFE.

Half a Roll

[3:45:31 AM] Eva: also i hope you're proud of me because i described my new nail polish as having costed half a roll of sushi.
[3:45:50 AM] Chiisana: LOL YAY
[3:45:52 AM] Chiisana: GJ GJ
[3:46:02 AM] Chiisana: now I crave sushi :(
[3:46:12 AM] Eva: ..sorry
[3:46:14 AM] Chiisana: our lives will forever be
[3:46:26 AM] Chiisana: "Wow if I didn't buy that, I could've had half a roll of sushi"
[3:46:28 AM] Chiisana: HAHAHA
[3:46:39 AM] Chiisana: sushi doesn't last as long though..
[3:47:58 AM] Chiisana: if sushi lasted as long as nail polish
[3:48:06 AM] Chiisana: where whenever you painted your nails you could instead eat half a sushi roll
[3:48:09 AM] Chiisana: that'd be really nice
[3:49:50 AM] Eva: .................
[3:50:14 AM] Eva: you may or may not be the hope of the future.

I actually ended up quite liking this project haha. Everyone sounds so great.

And admittedly especially, I feel like.. it's a huge honor to have been able to work with and sing with Enae. *A* From what I've seen, he seems to usually just mostly do his own thing, and he's so very talented!

Chiisagraduation

The other child had her high school graduation last week so I'm just throwing a few pictures up here!

(Random dude), Y, Myst, Eva

Parent chaperones!! :D Myst was knitting during graduation since it was really long and we only came to cheer for one student out of the 700+ HAHAHA.

Not exactly a fancy picture but I just thought it was pretty what with how vibrant the flowers are, and especially paired with Chiisa and her floral dress. ;u;

That awkward angle. #TeamSiliconValley hehe<3

This was just from another day I spent with Chiisana. :'D Our baby blue spoons! (We both have the same favorite color~) And our very appropriately contrasting choices of froyo, with hers all being white and mine chocolate/coffee.

untitled #3

;___; I really don't appreciate all of these attempts to control every aspect of my life. It may not be reflected mentally or emotionally, but I physically am a 20 year old woman who--no, can't take care of herself--but has been earning her keep for the most part, paying her own tuition, not asking for much, and not.. y'know, fucking up her life.

And up until less than 2 weeks ago, I literally never left the house except for work, school, and the very occasional funtiemz with #TeamSiliconValley (Chiisana, Myst, Yanovi). I usually don't even leave my bedroom except for the restroom or to get food, though I recently started sometimes exercising in the living room while watching Korean dramas. Now I've actually been having somewhat of a real life life and real life friends and I've been doing things outside the house and I came out of a slump of slight depression and antisocialness and was actually having a bit of fun and IS IT REALLY THAT MUCH OF A CRIME?

Also OTL.. I wasn't anticipating gaining an actual real life life when I brought upon myself so many online responsibilities and now I just.. -drowns-

Girl in a Bubble

I'm reminded of my first Bird in a Cage poem, though I'm no longer referring to aspiration.

I feel like I live in a bubble by which I'm trapped and rendered childish, ignorant, oblivious, and delusional.

And yet I don't want to leave this bubble. I'm realizing that there are some messed up things and fucked up people abounding, and that I'm not prepared for this scary world. I want to withdraw into my shell of antisocialness, my cave of a bedroom whose safety is never to be left, and this bubble in which I'm much too trusting yet trust no one but myself.

Words of Truth

[4:43:46 PM] Chiisana: it's okay since it's a birthday present I'm sure no one will mind
[4:44:02 PM] Chiisana: I think the saddest part is that no matter how it turns out if it's a birthday chorus everything else will be disregarded?! Q_Q
[4:44:07 PM] Chiisana: like whether or not it's really good
[4:44:07 PM] Chiisana: or really bad
[4:44:32 PM] Chiisana: the comments will still be HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! good job!!
[4:44:32 PM] Chiisana: etc
[4:44:33 PM] Chiisana: LOL
[4:45:14 PM] Eva: sob.
[4:45:17 PM] Eva: sigh
[4:45:17 PM] Eva: sigh
[4:45:46 PM] Chiisana: it's a sad world, the world of birthday choruses

Late night rambling #5

Hi it's 3 AM and I got home at almost 1 AM and showered and I am mentally feeling super awake whilst being very physically tired. It's so easy to pass off my dumb musings as Late Night Ramblings and not have to feel responsible for trying to sound coherent, intelligent, or meaningful HAHAHAHAHA

BUT YEAAAHH today was the best day I've had in a while and I am super gladddd I had such a fun day because it meant a lot to me and just ;^; was what I really needed I guess to bring my spirits back after being in slumps and being unmotivated and extremely antisocial in the past few days. (I'm out of school for summer now so I just.. go to work.. or wake up late and mope around in my room.)

What happened at one point today though was..
[1:01:13 AM] Eva: i'm simultaneously glad and sad that people perceive me as a dude lol
[1:01:41 AM] Chiisana: haha
[1:01:50 AM] Eva: at one point, (Guy #1) basically hit me with a shirt and (Guy #2) jokingly went at it and was like YOU DON'T DO THAT TO GIRLS WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
[1:01:58 AM] Eva: and (Guy #1)'s like SHE'S NOT A GIRL SHE'S LIKE A DUDE
[1:02:08 AM] Eva: and i'm like I....... OKAY I CAN'T DENY THAT QAQ;;;

Right now I'm kind of thinking about how there are pros and cons to being perceived as a dude.

On the plus side, it's nice to be less held to those pressures of being a girl... of having to look pretty and be cute and somewhat girly and nice and interesting and a little flirty but stylish and confident. Though I'm no tomboy. I'm not one to take care of or be confident in physical appearance, so this helps my self-consciousness a lot. It saves me from being judged as much.. and I'm not really compared to other girls, which is something I'm terrified of. My irl friends also like to rate girls based on appearance, and I really would like to avoid being rated. I also can act vulgarly as I always do and jokingly bully people which I enjoy doing because otherwise, I have the most boring character ever. And guys can (hopefully?) feel comfortable around me and not be pressured in their guy ways(?). They can also make their dumb guy jokes and be vulgar to each other, and I play along sometimes when I'm not being awkward me. And it's cool to sometimes be the girl that guys turn to for girl advice; I feel helpful.

And tbh most of my irl friends are guys, so...... yeah idk. I noticed that I get along with certain girls really well online because we meet through similar interests (#TeamNorcal and even my best friend Chiisana are all online-turned-irl-friends) but when it comes to irl, I have trouble getting along with girls. What few female friends I do have that I didn't meet online tend to not be very girly or high maintenance. I guess it's natural that I've become like one of the guys now???

On the down side, I'm perpetually friendzoned and perpetually friendzoning everyone I meet. And people think I'm scary and vulgar (negative connotation this time).

Another survey!

It's already 3 AM but I swear I'll go to sleep after this haha. I have Kang Haneul and Phillip to thank for brightening up my night. ^^ BUT UM, WELL. I stopped by Phillip's blog (so sorry I'm late ;^;.. and you bestowed upon me such kind words too) and he did another survey. so. I am here again. because surveys are--HOLY CANOLI IT'S 70 QUESTIONS... Okay how about I do some of it tonight and then the rest tomorrow?

Kang Haneul

where to buy one?

Dude. I think I might come to like him even more than Siwan. I'm harboring a really gross and blaring crush right now on this guy.

That voice is enough to win me over. But his acting. And face. And he seems adorable and humble from what I've seen of him. But so talented. And rather athletic. If he's also really intelligent, I don't think I can handle it. Where can I get one? And it doesn't help that I've fallen for his character (who's class president and plays, like, every instrument) in the currently airing k-drama Monstar, and I can't get up. I DON'T KNOW MAN I REALLY LIKE GENTLEMAN TYPES SOMETIMES and his character's seemingly cold outer shell makes me feel for him even more. :c

Thank you for brightening up what would've otherwise been an entirely depressing night<3
