    when I was the hook

    Mom told me to go get the towels out of the dryer and put them in the laundry basket. No problem! I like the nice, warm towels. So I did that. Then she told me to take the wet washclothes and dish towels and things out of the washer and put them in dryer. I have this… thing. I guess…

    when i didn’t really care

    I think I know what bothers me about the illus I did for class… everything is too much on the same level, I needed to go in with shadows or highlights or colours or something to push some things back or pull some things forward. Or something. I don’t care!!!!! ARGHHHH! *runs off screaming into the night*

    Rally Vincent wig finished

    Mum and I worked on Xiaoyu some more today. We got the stripes put up the sides and around the bottoms. That’s about it, and that took most of the day :\ BUT………. I finally finished my Rally Vincent wig!!! Ok, so not completely finished — I need to trim the back some more, it’s a bit too long. But…

    when i had con dreams

    Last night I woke up at 4 AM. I don’t know why. I was kinda freaked out. I was sleeping in the living room, cause my cousin is over this week and he was in my room. So I got up and made my cousin switch places with me. It still took me an hour to fall asleep after that,…

    when i came up with another idea

    Oh, of course, NOW blogger comes up. Oh well. What was I going to say? Oh! My other comic is finally coming together in mind enough that I think I could write a script for the first issue. Only thing is I can’t decide on a name. I’ve got three or four that I’ve wanted to use in the past,…

    Xiaoyu progress

    Put the yellow trim on the shorts yesterday, and I cut out all the little decorative thingies and the thing on the back out of newspaper (for Xiaoyu, of course). Today I’ll cut the decorative things out of the yellow fabric and go ahead and sew them on. Once that’s done, all I need to do is the cuffs and…

    when it was time for animal crackers

    Finally went and got mom’s bday present today. I even wrapped it (in Star Wars paper!), but couldn’t find tags so I just wrote “Happy Birthday Mum” in a speech bubble above Qui-Gon Jinn’s head. Also bought Carrie, because I’ve been desperate for a new book and Stephen King’s an easy read. What else? There was something else I was…

    Lulu wig

    My friend Kristie took my black Lulu wig to her hairdresser today to see what he could do about it. He said that it would take most of the hair to just do the bangs, and that the back was too thin. I already knew that… I mean, I knew the back was too thin. He suggested using my own…

    when the soft nougats got to me

    I finally tried this “Reese’s Fast Break” candy bar my parents put in my easter basket. I love reese’s, and I was hoping to like this but… ew! ok, not completely ew… but it’s too much like a snickers. It’s the “soft nougats” I think. It doesn’t taste like a reese’s at all. what’s up with that?! I am upset…

    when the goat smiled at me

    Ok, the wasps really don’t bother me as much as the bee (yes, there’s only one). The wasps mind their own business, pretty much… it’s the bee who has some kinda road rage. air rage. You know, he’s the big kind of bee, like the size of quarter, not a little innocent honey bee. I hate him, he dive bombs…
