...Well, kinda! I finished up some work for an upcoming deadline early, got a co-worker to take a project off my hands, and successfully met up with

faded_lace to find a costume-ish thing for a Halloween get-together~ :D

It's not really the smartest idea to go out to a place like Tokyu Hands and try to get inspired for a costume there; it's one of those things where you need to have at least a general idea and THEN find just what you need to bring that idea to life. Unfortunately, Miranda and I suck that way, so we just wound up going with Black vs. White Angel XD; Here are my goods:

If you can't tell from the crappy cell pic, and let's face it--you can't, it's one pair of small black wings, a headband with a lacy-flower-thing clipped to it, and a heart-shaped gaudy ring, because I'm the emo angel I guess. Miranda's got white stuff, so we'll look quite the pair~

I also found the cutest pink-and-yellow friendship bracelets during our assault on claire's, so Miranda and I split them, since apparently we are 13-year-old girls, idk.

You can see the matching one that says "best" on

faded_lace's LJ here :DDDDD

In other news, it's THREE DAYS LEFT til Western Mode! I'm super psyched~ :D I'm trying to prep myself to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings by looking up common Western-themed Japanese words :D Behold!

Cowboy: 牧童【ぼくどう】 (aside from the obvious 'カウボーイ' XD)
Lasso: 投げ縄【なげなわ】
Saloon: サルーン? XD; I've also heard 酒場...
Sheriff: シェリフ or 保安官
Ranch: 牧場【ぼくじょう(P); まきば(P)】
Pistol: ピストル? Maybe? XD or of course 銃【じゅう】
Bandit/Thug: ごろつき (it was used in the official summary soooo...)

Any other suggestions? XD Nnngh, I don't wanna go to work tomorrow...
