    when i made a bingo game

    And, in other news, I have either lost a cap or a really big filling in one of my teeth. It doesn’t hurt at all, I noticed after dinner tonight, I realised when I ran my tongue over that last tooth in my mouth it felt… not right. Like the middle of my tooth is missing. I certainly haven’t swallowed…

    a long overdue update

    (EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I’ve been out of town almost every weekend since…

    Hi from San Diego

    We’re in San Diego! Things got off to a bumpy start, with a 6AM flight out of Memphis with an angry ticket agent and a 30 minute delay due to a malfunction. We were freaking because we only had 50 minutes of overlay time in Minneapolis – but we made it there on time, made our San Diego flight and…

I’m really proud of myself for getting it done, I had wanted one for years and years but was always too scared. πŸ™‚ 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… πŸ˜›

    when i was selected

    Shock the monkey! I got a call today from someone from the Marriott. They referenced my reservation I’d made for Dragoncon, a couple of weeks ago. At first I’m thinking, oh crap, something has screwed up. But then she says that when I made my reservation, I was selected to receive an offer – I get to stay at any…
