    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…

    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.…

    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…

    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 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…

    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…

    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…

    when i had no point

    Ugh. I have been trying to get stuff ready for this thing I’m doing week after next… it’s time consuming and tiresome… on top of trying to get ready for Dragoncon. AUGH. Don’t even mention to me the fact that school starts back 2 days before Dragoncon. That’s not even on my radar, and it won’t be until September 7…

    when it was mema time

    I’m going to my grandmother’s tomorrow afternoon… not like it’ll really matter, because I’ll have my laptop, so nobody online will even notice… so I really don’t even know why I posted about it.

    when mom thought I loved orlando bloom

    So mom woke me up last night just to tell me that, apparently, Orlando Bloom is coming to Memphis to shoot a movie. I said, “oh boy.” She goes, “What?! Don’t you like Orlando Bloom?!” like she had nooo idea I wasn’t in love with orlando bloom. My “oh boy” went more for Cath, who is not exactly crazy over…

    when we did the big scoop

    So what’s up with me, you ask? I did something to my foot last weekend. Every single one of my costumes had uncomfortable shoes (the worst being Hild, Phoenix, and Anna) and it was a LOT of walking. So my feet were still numb by the time I got back. Well my left foot is still bothering me. Mom thinks…

    when i gave the e true hollywood story

    In reference to this picture… Here’s the E! True Hollywood story. 1. Harry’s got a gun, ie. Jamie’s got a gun 2. He’s got a bottle of Jack Daniels (no reason) 3. There’s a red flower in the Jack Daniels (no reason) 4. He’s only got one foot (because I didn’t feel like drawing the other one) 5. R2D2 (we…

    when I was in newtype

    Thanks to everybody who has let me know that I’m in August’s issue of Newtype USA! I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for you guys. I managed to snag a copy at the convention this weekend; it’s pretty cool, here’s a scan: Today has been an exceptionally good day, for four reasons. 1. I got my shoes for Ozma,…

    when we met carrie and dom

    Ok, two of the reasons yesterday ruled. Reason 1: I met Carrie Fisher and got her autograph. And of course, reason 2: We met Dom (and the whole cast of Lost)… I got to stand right in front of him and I got his autograph and then I called Cath and squealed for 20 minutes. Ok now I really have…

    when sdcc was awesome

    I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome today was. Right now I’m dead ass tired and tomorrow is going to be another long day (get up, pack, put on last costume, go to dealer’s hall, come back, check out by noon, head to the airport, flight at 3:30, get back to Memphis at 11)
