    when we got into scrapbooking for about 2 weeks

    It’s weird… my posts have been so whiny lately, but I’ve really been in a good mood otherwise. That seems to happen a lot. Hm. Tomorrow we are having our little scrapbook meeting again. Man some of those scrapbooking tools are so cool! My favourites: -The mini cutting board -The mini cutting mat with the cut little knife thingie -My…

    when my swimsuit betrayed me

    ARRGH!!!! I got my swimsuit today, and the stupid top has not only PADDING in it, but BONING too!! wtf?!?!?!?! I like the shorts. But I’m going to have to go find a different top to go with them (luckily they’re just plain black so hopefully it won’t be too hard to find a top) Dude, seriously. This is stupid.…

    Hobbit Costumes!

    My mom and Ash’s mom and I were standing around talking about Dragoncon, and both of them are all like, way into wanting to do costumes this year. Ash’s mom is going as both a hobbit lass and a random Dragonrider (pern), she says. Mom wants to go as Menolly from the Pern books, and I’m still planning on going…

    Art Post: Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas

    Like the Legolas and Gimli last year, this was done for my mom’s school’s auction (the boys get points for reading books during the year, and can use those points to bid on donated items, like basketball tickets, candy, my picture, etc) They are like my artwork for some reason, so mom asked I do another picture for it. I…

    when i changed emails

    I’ve said it before, but again: PLEASE do not send ANYTHING to any kellilla.com email address – I don’t use those anymore and have no access to get to them. Someone had been trying to email me something important through it for several months, it turns out.. gah. (that address is still connected to my amazon and paypal accounts, and…

    when i hated buying swimsuits

    I think next year I’m going to make my own swimsuit. I just spent 2 hours looking around online for a decent swimsuit. It’s ridiculous. I like a two piece – but it’s impossible to find a two piece that doesn’t look like it’ll fall off if I decided to… oh, I don’t know, MOVE? Seriously, I’ve got to have…

    Tedium… Hild updates

    Man, making these strap things for the front of Hild is freaking TEDIOUS! Ugh! I finished painting all the round things, got the foam pieces cut out for the ankle/wrist pieces, finished the (2nd) headpiece. I remade part of my Lina wristbands and fixed the necklace. I can’t find my other belt for her, though… I’m guess I’m going to…

    when i was mad about a C

    Finally got my grades. A, A, C+, C+. I expected the C in one of the classes. Actually I was HOPING for a C, cause I was worried about that one… But the other C? I’m kinda pissed about that. I expected at the least a B for that one.

    when i took control of the radio

    I have 1596 posts in my blog. (including this one!) Wow… So, at work. We’ve been stuck listening to the crappy, repetitive, mainstream pop radio station every since I’ve worked there. I hate it SO MUCH. Well… my coworker (the one who won’t let me change the channel) is out of town this week. I changed the station to 98.1…

    Experiments on Dyeing

    So last year – probably nearly or even more than a year ago – I got this skirt and I wanted to dye it blue. I don’t even remember what it was for. I may have just been messing around. Who knows. Well, I tried it in the sink, but the fabric didn’t take to the dye very well. So…

    Hild progress pics

    OK OK I give up. I just can’t keep a secret. My costume I’m doing for Akon is Hild from Ah My Goddess. At first I was just keeping it secret because I wasn’t sure I was going to get to do it. Then I thought I’d try to keep it secret just to see if I could. Well I…
