    when i refused to sit in the back

    Oh! Things I forgot to mention. One of the jackets they were using in the play last night started to rip in the first act. It just kept getting bigger and bigger, straight down the back. They pinned it for the second act, and sent it home with us to repair it for today’s performance. I’ve been wearing it all…

    when i got $60

    When I was 6 or 7, I got $60 for my birthday. I’d never gotten much money for my birthday before, but for some reason that year a couple of people gave me money, and all together it came to exactly $60. I was so amazed, I’d never had so much money at one time before. Mom took me to…

    when i was artist of the day

    wtf? Why am I Side 7 artist of the day again? I was already it once I thought I couldn’t be again. That’s weird… and nice to wake up to 🙂 Dad got Photoshop 8, Illustrator… 11, I think, and a new Adobe program called… I think it was In Design? He’s been raving about it. I don’t think they…

    when i made a costume closet

    My little project yesterday was turning the old store room into my new costume closet! (missing photo) Yay! I have all kinds of space in my room now, it’s so great! I organized everything… all the things that could be hung are hanging on the new bar dad and I installed. All the accessories and things are in the 3…

    when i needed a con fix

    Saw Matrix 3 last night – it was ok. I guess my main problem was that I had been spoiled on the entire thing a couple of months ago. I need a convention fix! The only one anytime soon is numa rei no con in december and I still haven’t found anybody to go with me. I have a project…

    when i lost my cds

    Hmm. The past few months I have really ignored my blog, there’s so much that went on that I normally write about but just haven’t. The big thing I don’t think I ever write about was I lost over half of my CDs a couple of months ago (right before Dragoncon) – they were on the back of the car…

    when trinity said shucks

    Caught a bit of The Matrix on TBS or TNT one last night. Was amused by the station’s redubbing of “offensive” lines instead of just bleeping it out. Neo gets caught by agents; Trinity’s response is now “Shucks!” I mean, replying “shucks” doesn’t really convey the danger of the situation. Shucks is what you say when you drop a piece…

    when i didnt have anything to do for halloween

    This has been a weird week, not really because sucky things have happened, but mostly because I’ve been in a weird frame of mind. But anyway, Cath and I were talking about how much Halloween has changed just since we were kids. When we were kids, we were allowed to roam the neighborhood by ourselves. We set out when it…

    when my dreams leaked

    I need to archive my blog pages. Have decided new shirt I wore today is lucky – was dreading school today because we had midterms last week and I knew we’d be getting scores back today. In Lit, we didn’t get our notebooks back (I know mine was awful. There’s no way I’d get a good grade on that pile…

    more scheduling

    some random notes: -Mom cleaned my Belldandy dress and managed to get all the nasty mud stains off the back of the white skirt (from when it rained at dragoncon). She also cleaned my plugsuit and got those stains off of it, too. -Almost finished with my quidditch cloak. the sweater lady FINALLY called and said she’d have my sweater…
