when the bugs attacked

I forgot to mention this is my costume journal! On saturday, dad was helping us with some costume stuff in the kitchen when all of a sudden he gave a shout and pulled his t-shirt off! He said something was biting him. I looked over and saw the culprit still hanging onto his shirt. It had bitten/stung him in 3 places - he said it wasn't a wasp but it ...

when there were boys loitering

Lately I've been having a good time going around telling people "Hey, you know, I think you'd belong in Slytherin." It gets people so riled up! It's quite funny. Last evening I was going out to ride my bike, but I got out there and saw there were 4 or 5 boys just hanging around the end of the driveway. I think they must have been from one of the high school's ...

when i love lucy made me uncomfortable

I hate the episodes where the Ricardos and the Mertzs (Mertzes?) fight. It makes me so uncomfortable. It's like watching your parents fight.

when i was officially 501st

whee! I'm officially a member of the 501st Legion now. I feel so important! I am reading all my Harry Potter books again. I've read all of them except PoA multiple times (not including Order of the Phoenix, because I havent even made it through that one all the way once... I stopped first time I read it). So right now I'm on PoA and it's only the second time ...

when i needed to organize

I really really feel like organizing something. There are two things I need to be working on - either organizing and getting together costumes, or cleaning my room/"unpacking" from San Diego (nothing is left in the suitcases, they're just laying all over the floor in my room with a ton of crap on top of them--it's a disaster area). But when I think about doing either one of those ...

when i couldn’t concentrate because dcon

Two commercials I absolutely hate: Revlon commercial with that 'i believe in love' song. I hate that commercial, mostly because that song makes me want to rip my ears off... a Some jeans commercial. I don't know what it's for. Maybe for a department store sale or something, but it's this woman walking down a hall to a version of Lenny Kravitz' 'Are You Gonna Go My Way?' The ...

when i was worried about our dcon room

I have been very worried about paying for the Dragoncon hotel room. Comic Con was really hard to pay for, and only having 2 paychecks between the two cons I knew was going to be hard. So I've been thinking and plotting trying to figure out how to get enough money back on my Mastercard in time for DC, so I can pay for the freaking hotel room. Today I called ...

when i went on a nostalgia bender

For my He-Man/She-Ra loving friends...! X-E's 1985 and 1986 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Coverage - besides all the wonderful Rainbow Brite, Care Bears and other weird 80's stuff that appears in the parade, you have to check out the video at the end of the live action He-Man/She-Ra float. Simply awesome. By the way, screw the fact it's hot - I wore my sweater today regardless. It made me happy.

when i got a gryffindor sweater

Why the heck do my pajama pants have pockets? What do I need pockets for while I'm sleeping... I got my new gryffindor sweater and it kicks butt. I wish it were cool out so I could wear it.
