    when i had to remind myself to be kind

    Today I had to write “BE KIND” on my hand, to remind myself not to pick on my friends so much (mostly Kevin). But it’s come in more useful for sticking my hand in Kristie’s face to remind her to be kind to me. I want to go home!! It’s too pretty a day out to be stuck at work.

    A few Horrorfest Pics

    Halloween is 20 days away and I’ve done nothing on my Halloween costume. I’ve got all the stuff for it! I just haven’t done anything. But then, that’s to be expected, since I’ve been house sitting, and then out of town this past weekend. I’ve got a base hat I’m going to use. I need to strengthen the brim and…

    when we went to hofest

    Back from horrorfest, and finally done house sitting so I got to home last night!! 🙂 Got a bunch of mail to go through, but I got sgc_cosplay’s AWESOME birthday gift – I’ll post pics of it in my LJ tonight when I get home. Here’s a couple of Ho’Fest pics until I get the rest up and can do…

    ranting

    Last year I was bombarded with requests about how I made my Anna Valerious costume – understandable, since the movie was still pretty new, but I was still flabbergasted by HOW MANY times I was asked, to the point I just ended up saving a form letter on my computer with the info, and then I’d just copy and paste.…

    when the kids were too darn cute

    I faltered a little bit today – we went in our princess costumes to visit a pre-kindergarten class (about 3 years old – all boys) and they were all so adorable. They were all wearing little hats that looked like dogs and it just killed me. I wanted to scoop them all up and bring them home with me! But…

    Dressing a Galaxy

    I got my Dressing a Galaxy today!!! It’s #809, signed by Trisha Biggar. And first off, it’s HUGE! I haven’t messed with a lot of it, because I want to show it off like it is now, all perfect and pretty. But I glanced through the book – AMAZING! I’m a little disappointed in the swatches I got. Some cool…

    when i hated cossies

    I really hate the word “Cossies” in place of costumes. It annoys me. I overlook it when people use it when talking to me, but everytime I run across it online it makes me want to shoot myself. Or someone else. (2016 EDIT: It’s 2016 and I still hate this word. Thankfully it seems to have died off.)

    when a security guard got in my face

    At Dragoncon, they have, in the past couple of years, had a ban on photography from like, 7-11 (or something like that) at night in the Hyatt. I completely understand their reasons for this (fire marshall – taking pics clogs up the paths too much, and there’s not much room over there). So I’m fine with the ban, I don’t…

    when daisy came home

    Today’s been a good birthday! 🙂 Nothing major. Most of my birthday stuff is this weekend. Had a small party at work today. But best part was I went with my aunt to help her pick out a new doggie at the Humane Society! She totally clicked with a 5yr old lab mix mutt named Scout. Black and tan, and…

    when i got a tacky hat

    So yesterday I met up with Mema and Daddy Bob for a quick little birthday thing. Kristie fixed cupcakes for me, since I’m getting my beloved Miss Muffin cake at work tomorrow, and another at home tomorrow night. The cupcakes were awesome – they had Spider-man cupcake paper thingies, and I got a Spider-man candle! I got some money, Hitchhiker’s…

    when i got flying circus

    Tomorrow is the day I finally get my birthday present from my grandma. She bought it for me like, months and months ago, so I’ve been waiting for this day for a while! Oh yes, it’s the Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus Megaset. YAY. I also asked for the Firefly DVD set. I haven’t seen any of it, but as…
