I don’t know yet, haven’t received official confirmation of Vincent. We’ll find out maybe end of today

Edit: The seller deleted the listing and only selling one part because of course they did! At least I'll get my refund!

edit edit: Okay...so they relisted AGAIN but this time under a different account with different Clouds and omitting the Tifa already sold sooo what the fuck. I'm starting to think this is a scam account. Trying one more time.

Alright, so I got confirmation it went through like the next day. And right after another listing for the same items sans Tifa, Cid, but included two Clouds but this time they had their weapons. So it makes me think it's not a scam but assuming the seller has multiples then decided to split it between a seller account on Mercari and then JP Paypay. That listing was pulled and split to only sell Vincent (gee how convenient) as I was playing Persona so I missed this one (it has his gun attached unlike the other bundle) I think I'm good but I'll pay that extra 5 bucks to have pictures taken to make sure it's what I ordered. oh my fucking god this has been the weirdest experience.

Triple Edit: I got him

I was able to buy him




Praise be to Yevon.

I've been staring at this listing all day even though I've already bought it. I need it now. Now all that's left is Vincent but I'm not as pressed cause it may not happen.

Still doesn't feel real! Let's hope they ship it soon and not bullshit me.

I am once again overdrafted 🤡

More news coming out that involve stupidity. So I need to focus on getting Human Luna ready for final sewing and keep drafting Sakura’s movie outfit. I found a kitten that I really wanted that was adopted. Then another, then another. I hate that there’s only only adoption place within 20 miles and everything else is in Denver which makes it harder to adopt because I can’t be there immediately. I’d need to plan a day to drive out there. Then everyone has to go because it’s required. So anyway, I know Petco/Petsmart has adoption days and some of the kittens are from the shelter or other places so I’m going to look out for that. The clerk from yesterday told me the next one is in mid Feb. I’d like to get another orange cat or one with pretty colors.

I have a lot to pay off and it’s only the 28th. I found Cid…… of all the times for this discovery I am broke broke. Like I can’t even partial pay or borrow money. God damnit. So there’s two things, I either get my bank deposit by tomorrow afternoon or Thursday. But I highly doubt he’ll even be there tomorrow or Thursday so I’m keeping my expectations super fucking low because it’d be my luck for it to be sold out.

I don’t want to work out today at all. I don’t want this man at home pressuring me for sex. I don’t want to sleep with someone who hyper fixates on tHe GaYs! whining like it’s the worst thing in the world instead of siding with someone who is racist, a rape apologist, sexually harasses women and trying to block anything that is safe and helpful to black and poc yet instead only helps white people.

I was just thinking about how they’re trying fear mongering into us. It’s been working and I know I shouldn’t let it put fear into me. One of the reasons why I know I shouldn’t skip the gym because it’s helping me stay productive and keeping my mind off of what’s causing me anxiety. I am so tired. This month isn’t even over yet.

It was long since half of the office was out. On one of the days when the wifi was actually working I was able to play Genshin for a little while haha. One positive in my collecting search was that I found another Tifa ufo but with her tag AND SEPHIROTH. All cause I started searching randomly again. I'm still crossing my fingers I get it in one piece. I am really hoping Cid will randomly pop up for me too. I almost wouldn't mind getting Vincent but I've never seen him for sell. And as I write this, ebay had a whole set on sale just a month ago that went for $600. I'm actually bummed but I don't think I could've afforded it anyway.



2 weeks left until NDK and I'm not anywhere close to being done. Still fat. Still in school.

I am failing my science class. I am fully aware this doesn't affect anything but my GPA...basically I can retake the class and not have to pay any money back, but I'm frustrated because I only picked this class because it was available on campus right after work and a lab was involved. The teacher is nice but I cannot keep up with her teaching methods on top of this class is mainly for people who plan on taking Chemistry or pursuing a degree in Science. Not what I'm doing, all I'm getting is a communications degree. So, I wrap around being frustrated again. I don't want to sit in class for 2 hours for a lecture she's zooming through and I don't want to sit another 2 hours in a lab that I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. I thought I could salvage my grade but I've missed enough time that it won't make a difference trying to make it up. Plus, the exams are the largest part of your grade and I've failed all of them so far. So now, I have to wait until Fall to retake a different science class. Really frustrated overall. I didn't even go to lab tonight. I went to get french fries (of all fucking things, of course) got gas, then got some tea. Now i'm sitting in my driveway because I don't want to walk in the house just yet just to be asked "Why aRe yOu HomE so EarLY??" so I'll sit out here.

I never got my II collection of Gundam Seed. The seller never shipped my item?? No clue why it took so long, there's no excuse for it not to be sent out by the 3rd day. Mercari refunded me only because the seller never responded. I should've known it was a red flag because the listing had a blurry photo. Almost like the guy threw the dvd set and took a quick photo of it flying. I could barely make it out but still bought it anyway. Lesson learned. In the meantime waiting for this asshole to ship, another collection edition went on ebay and gone in a couple days that cost way less. ughh

I did manage to get a copy of Ace Attorney Investigations without paying half a leg for it. It sucks the DS store shut down because now most people are trying to sell certain DS games at astronomical prices. Wtf....Hopefully the copy I bought wasn't from a scammer. Otherwise, the "cheapest" copies run around $60-70 which is ridiculous. My Edgeworth Sanei plush came in! And usps said the FF7 collection with Tifa and Barret made it but I don't have my mail key. I know I could just go inside and grab it but I'm still gonna wait it out. I am pathetic lmaoo

Mad about the weekend flying by. I swear!!! I remember putting my shoes away and going to lie in my bed for a few minutes and next thing I know, I'm looking up at the clock while writing my paper on Sunday pissed off I wasted the weekend. We didn't go anywhere, just stayed inside. Wasted a perfectly good day because the weather has been looking much nicer and I want to go to a nice park, Denver, something!! Also just plain pissy about people driving in trucks who are absolute psychopaths. It seems every asshole drives a truck and deliberately tailgates, speeds like hell, or whips in and out of the lanes, with a complimenting flag or two of that old assshole trump they all worship. It looks stupid, it looks like a cult and tacky as hell having two giant ugly flags hanging off of the back of the truck. GDI

I think I've hit my time where I can go in the house now lmao. I still don't want to. I don't even want to go to work tomorrow. I just wanna sleeeeep! For some positivity for myself, since acquiring Edgeworth sanei, I'm on the lookout for Phoenix as he is the last one to complete my collection and I am right back at square one being frustrated finding him lol. I mean, when I was searching for Maya, it took a year until I had somebody willing to sell her to me but this was using a website that had people in Japan find items for you, like a personal proxy. I miss living in Japan because it was easier for me to look for stuff online and in person. I'll eventually get him, but now i'm going inside to go to bed lol

I’ll try to break down my tldr but so much has happened. Sakuracon was cool!! Portland is really pretty and made me miss living in a place that doesn’t have high altitude. My goodness I could breathe! I could go up stairs and walk miles without dying haha. Hannah’s house is beautiful and very clean. My home is completely embarrassing compared to it. I got to meet a cosplayer I’ve admired since I was a teenager, Li kovacs! Her sewing looks impressive even up close. I only cosplayed Saturday and something comfortable because there was so much walking between the hotel and the convention buildings. Plus I’m big. Walking around in costume just made me sweaty and gross. Saw the Japanese actors for the new Gundam Seed Freedom. They showed us the first 6 minutes subbed. I got an autograph and photo with Laura Stahl and found some cute artist pins of Maya and TotK. I even found the large Jiji plush after accidentally passing up the smaller ones I saw Saturday. I visited the pier with the Ferris wheel and watched boats go by. Had dinner at this cute little restaurant that was such a chill vibe and had some awesome berry cider. I miss it already. Coming back home I feel a little refreshed but dead tired. I’m ready to clean up my sewing room but took off this weekend to just chill and finish my homework because I’m still exhausted. I see the doctor in another week to see about getting some help with weight loss. I want to get on this because I want to work on my Yuna and Aerith cosplays.

Also, I’ve been having some luck finding some vintage merch. I found all the ‘97 chocobo plushes from VII except the green one which I want with a tag. I wasn’t planning on it but I found Cloud, Barret, Tifa and Red. There’s a Yuffie for sale but the quality is so…bad. The photos don’t help either because the room it’s photographed in looks dirty. I’d like to find Cid and be done but I’m not holding my breath. Sephiroth is probably impossible and Vincent same but his boots have crumbled. Probably not worth it. But over the week, I found the ADV dvds of Wedding Peach season 2, Gundam Seed, the USJ sailor moon cat trio plush that were limited, Yuna plush, some FF7 extra knights, and just a minute ago two of the ‘94 cat figures Luna and Artemis. I’ve only seen Artemis once on Mandarake and somebody bought it fast. Found both tonight under completely different names on Mercari. Now, let’s hope the seller doesn’t cancel 🙃
