    Hee!! There was a Rincewind at dragoncon that I didn’t see! I wanted dad to go as Rincewind but he hasn’t read those books. I think he’d do it if I really wanted him to… so maybe next year? And here’s a nice one of me & Ash… I really like this pic. I got a bonus point in class…

    Arwen Fabric & Dcon pics

    I finally got my Arwen fabric today. Got a pattern, too. We wandered all over the store looking for fabric the right colour – we were about to give up and plan to meet at the other Hancock’s tomorrow, when we found exactly what I was looking for in the Halloween section. It was even cheap! $4 a yard plus…

    Weird Habit

    I have this weird habit with new costumes – I don’t like to put them on before a convention. The closest I came was putting most of Shadowcat on before Dragoncon, but that’s just ’cause mom made me. I didn’t put all of Amidala on, or Ocha, or Urd, or Lina, or Lulu, or Xiaoyu, or Misato… etc, etc. I…

    when i was prepared to be a vampire slayer

Someone might think I was building a very small fence. ugggggh still don’t feel good. headache went away. throat not so bad. nose stuffy.

    when the moms wanted to go to dragoncon

    Last night Ash’s parents came over to go out with my parents to eat. I was looking through the dragoncon schedules I’d printed out so I showed it to them. They see a lot of stuff they’d like to have seen, and mom’s like, asking me to go to these Anne McCaffrey or whatever panels. I’m like, there’s no time!…
