So...yeah?

So, ah, in my English class, we're doing things called Vital Vocabs, which is basically where we get big words, a grammar thing (such as a semicolon), and two homophones. And then we had to put it into writing so it looked like we knew how to use them. Some examples are on Allie's blog (she writes really good ones, though short, still good. And it follows a plot and stuff! :o). And I'm actually kinda proud of some of my Vital Vocabs, so I'm gonna post them on here sometimes.
I'm gonna start with my most recent (and longest one), which is probably the first domino to knock down in a small series for this. I like the plot and idea I gave it. So, here it is!

        I ran down the street, making sure to keep a good grip on the bag dangling by my legs. I glanced back, grinned at the two chasing me, and ran faster, cutting a corner. My breathing was hard, my heart hammering in my chest as I leapt, skimming past the top of the fence in front of me, and cleared the jump. My feet hit the ground and I paused, seeing the two come around the corner.
       “Stop, Bea!” The man shouted, his eyes full of alarm and concern. He was reaching into his pocket.... I smirked, sticking my tongue out them.
       “Sorry, Anthony, Shade. But it’s too late for me to stop.” I said, my usual grin turning cold. I winked at them, then started running again, my feet echoing around the alley. Soon, I was gone, the bag holding Army jewels with me. Plan Rebel, instigated.
 –
       “Dammit Anthony, you should’ve let me go after her! I could’ve talked her out of it!” I shouted, stomping my foot. The tall man was leaning against the fence, running a hand through his hair as he tried to catch his breath.
       “Shade, you know she was set. You know she wasn’t going to listen.” He said, his voice full of defeat. I growled, and kicked the fence, hard.
       “That’s not true! The only reason she did this is because Tyler, Lizzie, all of them were so full of irreverence towards her! They made her reckless....” My mind was a blur, my thoughts inundating me. I shoved them down, swallowing the lump in my throat. “We have to go after her, we have to calm her, we...we....I can’t lose her like that.” I said finally, slumping against the alley wall. “She’s my best friend....” Anthony sighed, pushing himself off the fence.
      “I know, Shade. You’re not the only one who’s close to her, we’ve spent plenty of ti–” I snapped my head up at him, my glare piercing him.
      “Just because you’ve talked to her and probably gotten into her head doesn’t mean you know her like I do!” I snarled, interjecting him. I felt my throat constrict as Anthony looked away. “Sorry. I’m sorry. I just...She knows me like the back of her hand, I want to believe I’m the only one who knows her the best.” I said quietly, putting my forehead to my knees.
      After a moment, he sighed again, shaking his head. “Don’t worry, Shade. We’ll get her.” It occurred to me that Bea was bound to have passed the Army’s boundaries by now. Someone probably found that the jewels were gone...A chill passed through me.
      “Anthony....” I murmured, standing up again. I felt sick, and swallowed the lump in my throat. He looked up at me, frowning.
      “What? What is it?” I looked at him, fearing bubbling up inside. If the leaders found out that their jewels were gone...they would send people out to....
      “Anthony,” I said, latching onto the fence and climbing over. “Anthony, you told me that the Army is really strict. That they had no mercy for Shadows.” I said, dropping down. “And we both know that the Army is good at looking for people.”
       Anthony looked at me, lost. “Y...Yeah...?” He said slowly, climbing over the fence as well. He dropped down besides me. I started walking.
      “So, so if they find Bea...that’s stealing jewels and treason.” I insinuated, my walking getting faster and faster, until I was running. Anthony started running too, apparently catching on.
      “They’ll treat her horribly, brutally, and cruelly. Th–they might kill her on the spot.” I said, now sprinting in the direction she went, Anthony matching my speed.
      We need to find her. 

More Cosplay! (Part Two)

Last time we met up, I was explaining how horrible making my costume was, and how stressful it was to make it in the short time I had. Now, we move on to a more easy topic, how my cosplays were at Banzai!
So, the night before I left, I was panicking on how to pack my stuff. What was happening for the con is that I had to bring a bag of stuff to my friend Siri's house, because everyone going was gonna have a sleepover at her house. But, the next day, I had to lug my stuff down to the con with me because I was staying for Sunday as well. To do that, I had to ask my friend if I could stay with her at her hotel.
So, I decided on the most practical (not really) thing to do. I stacked my different cosplays, got separate bags, and stuffed them in there. Why? Because, it helped keep things together and it was less messy (yeah, right).
So the next morning I got up early, and started getting ready. Things were going awesome, my wig was doing awesome, I got help from my brother Alex with packing, and things were going smoothly. So, I'll show you what Jade looks like, and what my cosplay looked like.

Isn't she such a cutie?? Augh. Anywho, here's a picture of what my cosplay was.

Image is miiiine! No stealing :c

There was a bump in my wig from my hair so I fixed it with a hat! I thought it looked good. :3 So that was my first day. My friends I went with cosplayed as Fem!Scar, from Lion King, and Fem!Anthony, a character Allie came up with. Everything was pretty good that day, minus having a scratchy scalp at the end. We also went to a ball, where I put my wig hair to the side (which it looked actually pretty good!), and put on a black dress with green accessories.

At the end, we were picked up and headed home for the sleepover.

Really, I was the only one who was tired. Apparently the hosts of the sleepover got chips and soda and pizza, which everyone ate except for me. Why? Maybe because it was twelve AM in the fricking morning. They were all loud while I was trying to sleep, but finally everyone quieted down and we fell asleep.

Eight or nine hours later wer were awoken, and it was time to get ready for the next day of Banzai. My friends suck at the concept of cosplay so I was the only one who had a new cosplay. To make me feel less weird, Allie also put on her Fem!Anthony cosplay. But then there was a new twist arising. Madison, a girl who went with us, decided she didn't want to go again. She was too tiiiireeedd. *mutters* Lame. So, we called up a friend and she came over, took Madison's pass, and then Siri's brother decided he wanted to go too.

So, that was all decided. I'll tell you all about Saturday and my cosplay of Aradia Megido next time! Until then, happy holidays, and happy new year!
