when i did not want to be a police officer or fbi agent
Why do I keep getting spam about being a police officer or an FBI agent? That seems weird… in the middle of all the porno spam “KELLDAR! DO YOU WANT TO BE A POLICE OFFICER OR FBI AGENT?!?!1”

SDCC Schedule
Quick Comic Con costume schedule: Wednesday preview night: normal 😛 Thursday: Arwen Blood Red, Ozma Friday: Leia, Hermione Saturday: Either Mara Jade or Starfire and Queen Amidala Sunday: Mara Jade or Starfire (if I wore MJ sat, then I’ll do Starfire sun, etc) I’d prefer to wear Starfire saturday, but I’d have to get out of it early for the…

when i was non-productive
I have been very non-productive today. I got up. I went to my aunt’s house. Had a sandwich. Swam. Slept all afternoon. I just now got up – time to eat dinner and head home.

Newsflash! Arwen progress
I finished my Arwen dress! Ok, haha, so maybe not. But I did get the new fabric! Thanks so much to padawansguide for pointing me to syfabrics.com! I’ve still got to take the black fabric back (not a problem, they know me there), and send back the white fabric. I also finally bought my trim… should be arriving soon. I…

when i had a deer friend
My deer friend! Out here in the country, deer aren’t unusual, but we usually only see them at night/early evening. Just now, I was out on my bike when I noticed something in the front yard. At first I thought it was a person, but I turned and looked, and it was a young deer. It was just standing there…

when there was no lando
YES! George Lowe (the voice of Space Ghost) is going to be at Dragoncon again this year! My parents leave for their cruise Sunday. I’ll be popping back and forth between staying at my house with Ash (since her parents are going, too) and my aunt’s (NEW) house (with the swimming pool!) To update my list… Clone Trooper Battle Droid…

A-Kon 2005 Pics & SDCC Plans!
First off – I actually won the Amidala Look a Like Contest at Cosplaylab. I couldn’t believe it, there were so many good entries, and people I knew – I was hoping to get maybe honorable mention, but – yay! It made my weekend. SO I didn’t get Yuuko *completely* finished – I’m going to get it finished for MTAC…

Hello from A-Kon
My rebel bird tattoo. It’s mostly healed. I’m really proud of myself for getting it done, I had wanted one for years and years but was always too scared. 🙂 A-kon is OK – I’m mostly here for my cousin, we’re just doing whatever he wants to do. So if anybody sees me, I’ll just be wandering… 😛

Disaster!
Oh, drama… The grommets I got for Yuuko are awful. I’m having to cut the two back panels off and replace them, so I can put in different, bigger grommets that I KNOW will work. 🙁 Just another obstacle… this costume will be the death of me and it’s not even one I really want to DO anymore! Here’s a…

A-Kon 2005 Plans
Argh! I found the other Jupiter glove (whew!) but I’ve lost one of my hair bands, the earrings, and the choker. The hair band and earrings aren’t a big deal (I can wear one hair band and leave the earrings off, of course), but the choker… it was my original choker, from my first Jupiter costume, and it’ll be impossible…

when i made mom mad
What did I do last night? I permanently dedicated myself to the one thing I have loved my entire life (Star Wars, for those who somehow didn’t know) Yes… quite permanently.

when somebody had longass hair
I forgot! I had to mention this. You know how people add -ass to the end of things? Like, “what a crazy ass day!” or “that was one hard ass test.” Today I heard someone say (in reference to someone on the news) – “She’s got some long ass hair!” And my drink went up my nose.

when my nose exploded
OH MY GOD… my allergies have exploded. There is no relief.

Revenge of the Sith Event Pics! And Plans
Jupiter isn’t going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it’s about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven’t bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn’t be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there’s no time to worry with Jupiter. 🙁 Oh well – I’ll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking…

ROTS pics
I’ll post about my thoughts later (after I’ve seen it again), but here are my pics from the midnight showing here, along with other events we did over the week.

when leia wasn’t such a good idea for work
I’m at my other aunt’s office right now, because my coworker called and said not to come in to work yet – THE BOARD is there. Eek. It wouldn’t have been a problem really – but, you see, I’m in full Princess Leia get up today. I doubt the State Board would find that funny. I’m in Leia today because…

A-Kon woes
I’m trying to figure out what else to take to A-Kon. Jupiter is NOT going to happen…if I rushed I could get it done… but I’m not all that excited to do it at the moment, I’d rather focus on the next Arwen, so I pushed Jupiter back to MTAC next year. Anyway – For A-Kon, I’m definitely taking regular…

when i forced myself to eat burger king
Today was my first day of hitting up Burger King for the new Star Wars toys. (BK, right now, is offering (I think) 31 different Star Wars toys with their kids meals – and they are ADORABLE) I got 1 at lunch and 2 at dinner. At lunch I lucked out and got the Special edition Darth Vader/Anakin! (Ash was…
