    when we had a great dcon

    we’re home from dragoncon. I’ll post more tomorrow – or wednesday. next couple of days will be tough, not only getting over con tiredness, but some other stuff that’s going on. But yeah, made it out of ATL before any bit of Frances did (never rained on us at all – did it ever rain today there? It was acting…

    Lessa, hermione, Ozma and Padme updates

    Lessa – done, except the shoulder braid, which I will either do tonight or on the plane tomorrow. Won’t take but about another 10 minutes to do. I wore it on a test-run last week – it’s almost unbearably hot, but I like how it looks. We’ll see at dragoncon. Hermione – done. will need to be pressed again when…

    Updates & Dcon 04 Schedule

    Man the last few days have been hectic beyond belief! I’ve finished Ozma, Lessa and Hermione. I’ve made 2 sets of hobbit feet and painted two sets of hobbit ears and put in countless grommets (but that’s ok because I love putting in grommets!) Padme and Ash’s masquerade costume are the only things left. For Padme, the headpiece is nearly…

    when you complete your minor

    It seems to me that when you complete your minor, bells should go off and balloons and confetti should fall from the ceiling. But I guess that’s just me. Ash and I hung out today and did some costume stuff. Watched ROTJ. Then I went with mom and dad to the first meeting of what will hopefully become the Millington…

    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…
