Metrocon - Change of PlansWe will sadly not be bringing the ShinRa crew to Metrocon. With everything happening recently, we just don't have the time to get the gang together to film for it...
HOWEVER!
We WILL be announcing our new show at Metrocon, probably at the Late Night Panel! So, you chaps at Metrocon will once-again be the first to hear about something new! Last year, you saw the DT trailer, and this year, you will see a trial-run of our new trailer, and our costumes, for the new show!
For those of you unable to make the convention, fear not. We will post the trailer up as soon as we're able to after the con... though I imagine someone will upload it to youtube via their own video cameras before we get the chance XD
For those of you who want to know our panel timetable, and cannae be bothered to search it out on the Metro website:
FRIDAY JUNE 15TH
11:00 am until 1:00 pm Panel: Parlé Productions : Improv 101
4:00 pm until 6:00 pm Panel: Parlé Productions: Ask The Cast
9:00 pm until 11:00 pm Pane

Kony 2012 (update)((please scroll down for the update))
A few people messaged me regarding this. Tonight, I finally got around to watching the video, and I felt I had a moral obligation to spread the word myself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc Everyone should watch this, and everyone should share this.
Until now, I'd never heard of this man. For over 20 years, he has been snatching African children from their homes, turning the boys into soldiers and the girls into sex slaves. He forces them to kill their own parents, and turns them into his own personal army.
To this day, he hasn't been captured. Most of the world don't even know his name. Until tonight, I was one of them.
Please spend 30 minutes of your time to watch this, and spread the word. If we could only remove a single evil individual from the world in our lifetime, this guy would likely be top of my list.
The internet is one of the single most powerful tools that mankind has ever had, as an international community.

May I introduce you to these bitches?:iconmalikaa:
Dis bitch right here. She has got some serious style. I mean, she is pretty much a professional. The artwork she creates is stunning to the point of breath taking. Not to mention she is our Bruce from Some Assembly Required.
:icondumtweedledee:
Some of you might have been there when Kelly and I did the 24hr gaming charity event. DJ stayed up with us for pretty much the entire time, capturing the best moments in doodles. Her work keeps me inspired and truly captures the Parlé way!
:iconKherrigan:
An angry, ginger douche bag who produces some of the finest are DA has to offer. It's her use of colours that always gets me. Vibriant and bursting with life; her art work dances off the bloody screen.
:iconbasilcakes:
If you like Nellis then your search is over. Basil will be the only artist you ever need again. She uses beautifully soft pastel colours to create her art. Her original style is elegant and very easy on the eyes.
:iconMidoriEyes:
Dis bitch knows comedy. She get

Geez, be patient!I've had... god only knows how many messages now asking when I'm selling my Axel wig, coat, and chakrams.
I'll sell them when I'm ready.
Please don't send me messages as if you're doing me a favour, offering me a set price up front, or any other messages. I've already said they'll be going up on eBay when I am able to arrange it. We'll be posting on dA and on YouTube when the auctions go up. Stop trying to loot the body while it's still warm, damnit!
As for why it's taking a while, there are numerous reasons. For one, I need to fix up the wig and clean the inner of it, dry-clean the coat, re-touch the chakrams, find suitable packaging/shipping methods for all of them, get the time to take photos and put up the eBay auction at a time where I know that, at the end of the auction, I'll have time to get to the post office to mail them...
All that, plus I'm in no hurry to do it. I'll get it done when I get it done.

The Survivor BlogSo, I started up this new blog on Tumblr that hopefully a couple of people will be contributing to!
It's called The Survivor Blog
It's an in-character blog, run by the Survivors of L4D/L4D2, with all the posts and reblogs done with an in-character style. They will be text, photo, and gif posts.
So far, the posts are only by Jenn and I, as Nick and Ellis, but I'm hoping a few more of the crew will get involved. I've already got two more people potentially in on it, so we'll see how it goes from there!
So yeah, if you're a tumblr user, please add it to your follow list! Oh, this isn't an Ask account. There are plenty of good L4D Asks out there, and we fancied doing our own thing

MCM Expo and Metrocon Cosplay Plans-------But first...-------
My Portal Gun arrived 8D
Not 100% happy, as there is some manufacturing damage to it (an issue it seems several people have discovered), but I got myself a partial refund from the seller, and I believe I can fix it up just fine. So, all in all, can't complain too much! Will be bringing it along to Expo for my Portal costume

-------MCM Expo-------
A bunch of us will be there this weekend, so feel free to bounce on over and say hello! On Saturday, we'll be doing Dragon Age costumes, and I'll be getting changed into my Portal costume later in the day.
On Sunday, I'll be in one of my Twi'lek costumes, and Jenn will likely be in civvies, taking pictures.
Looking forward to it

-------Metrocon-------
This is now the finalised timetable. The other panel slots offered to us didn't work with our plans, so this is what we're doing:
FRIDAY JUNE 15TH
11:00 am until 1:00 pm Panel: Parlé Productions : Improv 101
4:00 pm until 6:00 pm Panel: P

It's so quiet...Sorry for the lack of activity here! I've been busy XD
It's been a bit of a mental start to 2013, with Jenn getting a new job, a bunch of birthdays and events, and a lack of money forever looming overhead!
I've mostly been busy working on my costume and kit for a new LARP system I'm joining next month, so when I have some good pictures of that, I'll share them here. It's not often I will share pictures of my original characters on deviantART (in fact, I don't think I've ever done it), but I'm really proud of the kit for this. A bunch of Parlé are all joining the same system, so hopefully we can get a few good shots before time in!
Here's a preview of the costume, for those interested...

On the con-front, things are less busy than usual, due to clashing events, and one or two that we usually attend for fun that we're opting out of this year. We did London Anime Con at the start of the month, which was a fantastic event. Still t

The Power of MagicIt's past 3am, and I can't sleep.
-------The Power of Magic-------
When I was a kid, one of the greatest things possible to witness was magic. To me, my dad was a magician, no doubt about it. He could make coins appear from pockets and behind ears. He could guess what card you or your friend chose. He could blow cigarette smoke from his ears.
Actually, that last one was due to having punctured ear drums, so wasn't really magic... but you get what I mean.
Of course, now that I'm older, I know all these tricks myself. They're the easiest ones in the book. I've learned them myself, and occasionally blow the minds of kids who are now at the age I once was when I was being amazed by this apparent 'magic'.
That experience, of seeing something you believe to be utterly impossible become possible, is amazing. It's the reason I love illusionists and magicians, and the reason I've spent most of this insomniatic evening watching videos of Dynamo the magician.
Eventually with shows of magic

Four Years AgoFour years ago, something happened that completely changed the course of my life in a very real, very noticeable way.
On the 19th of January 2008, I hadn't really intended to do anything to make my life change so drastically. There was no plan, no preconception, nothing. Things just happened the way they happened, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
On the night of the 19th of January 2008, `tealpirate and I started going out.
From that day on, my life was changed. I'd gone from a previously unhappy relationship to one I now was full of hope, excitement and expectation. My previous relationship had me feeling worn out, disillusioned and unhappy by three years or so into the relationship, yet with Jenn, I'm four years in, and still as crazily in love as the day I met her.
So, here's to you, Jenn, and the four fabulous years of life you have already gifted me with. I hope to continue them for as long as I live, and can only hope to bring you the same measure of happiness that you

Marauder RevelationSo, this may be common knowledge, I don't know... but I just realised this today and figured I'd share.
MARAUDER
- Remove the A's and re-organise the letters
MURDER
Every Marauder was murdered:
James = Voldemort
Sirius = Bellatrix
Peter = Voldemort's silver hand
Remus= Dolovov
I'VE NEVER NOTICED THIS BEFORE. HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS?!
I wonder if this was intentional on J.K.'s part....

So freakin' tempted...

Journal Entry: Thu May 17, 2012, 1:30 AM

Ramblings...

So, I have this "other username" that I've wanted to use for AGES... but always get put off, just because so many of you know me as "KellyJane".

It wasn't a problem... UNTIL DA DECIDED TO GIVE ME THE OPTION TO CHANGE MY USERNAME.

Goddamnit. XD

Edit: I don't want to say what the other username is yet because (this sounds SO childish!) I'm worried someone might steal it. XD

I'm used to KellyJane, but I'm curious as to what this new username is. And you've got KellyJane on a few other things, so it's not like we'd have to get used to a change on everything...

If you really wanna try out this new username, I'd say go for it!

I know i shortcut both your accounts to Kelly and Jenn simply as I've know you both a fairly long time. But I do say Kellyjane and Tealpirate to people who either know you both as that or want to find you both. I myself am glad this has came into being I wish it had when I was using my old Quanza-chan account so I could of just changed the name but that was then. Luckily I do visit my old account to check up on it and things.

big statement. now to add the punctuation and things.
