when i forgot to take my eyeliner off
“Random Thoughts” Uuuugh I didn’t take my eye makeup off after the movie last night and slept in it… now it’s all smeared around my eyes and I’m all creepy looking 😀 I swear, if Cath doesn’t stop trying to set me up with every guy she knows I’m going to kill her. And that’s that. I liked wearing my…

when we dressed up for star wars
I was tempted to post after I got home from the movie last night (this morning?). It was 3 AM and, despite the fact I’d been tired coming out of the movie, I had woken up a little more by the time we got back. I wore my Leia costume, and yes, I ended up being the only one out…

Misato and Xiaoyu updates
Ok, just a quick rundown here before I leave to go get ready for Star Wars… Got Misato’s shirt made. I had originally bought one, but it turned out it was going to be too long and too bulky (it was a sweaterish type thing). So I made one in like, five seconds. It actually turned out just as good…

Nervous
(it’s a nerve inspired rant about Animazement… beware :P) I’m getting really really really nervous and excited. Next week!! It’s next week!! I’ve already started packing. Gathering up costume pieces and putting all my makeup together and setting it inside my big suitcase. I’m taking two suitcases, a big one on loan from my gramma and my regular one… and…

Misato fabric
We went to Hancock’s. Got orange and black material for the extra things on Misato’s jacket. And some more lining for her jacket (we didn’t get enough first time). Ash’s Ritsuko wig came in the mail. I fixed up a bit. It’s the cheapest quality wig I’ve ever worked with. But it’s going to work perfectly, I think.

when i was 12
Yesterday Ash and her parents came over to hang out. Ash and I decided to go get mcdonald’s and rent a movie instead of going out to eat with the parents, so we did. We rented A.I. (ash’s choice), Rushmore (my choice) and SNK vs Capcom 2 (for kevin… and, well, yeah, me too). I had to pay a late…

Lulu and other updates
Ok, so nothing much got worked on yesterday. I’m trying to decide what I want to make my Lulu hairpieces out of. At first I was going to do sculpey… and I made one… and it looks horrible. So now I’m thinking some light foamboard type stuff. Easier to cut, that’s for sure. Ash says she got ALL the fabric…

when i got ready for star wars
I tried to come post last night but this thing wouldn’t load. Ash!! If you read this, call me and tell me you’ve read this. I got you a blonde wig. Hopefully it’ll be here soon. Also, Wednesday night… er, Thursday morning, 12:01: Star Wars. Not Muvico! I bought some hair (LOL) to add to my braids so I can…

when there was a creepy guy
Oooh my god Dad brought home Molly’s for me last night. I ate waaaaay too much. They give you more food when you order it to-go… I saved some of the cheese dip and had it for breakfast. yum 😀 Got up @ 5:50 am this morning to take Kevin to school. (it takes him bought 20 minutes to get…

Xiaoyu Almost finished
Finished Ling Xiaoyu yesterday!!!!!!! YAY! Well, ok, still have to make the ponytail holders, but that’ll take no time. Got Misato’s jacket just about made. We had the sleeves done and one attached… but I thought they were too fitted so we decided to remake them. I’ve spent the last twenty minutes ripping out the seam. I hate doing that.…

Xiaoyu shoes & Lulu makeup
Just about finished my Xiaoyu shoes last night. Also made my purple lulu necklace. I went to Mr Lincoln’s day before yesterday and got some face makeup type stuff for Lulu. That lady asked what I was doing and I told her, and she actually knew who I was talking about it! (her son has been playing that game, she…

Star Wars Midnight Show
Got a zipper yesterday. Woohoo! I guess I’m dressing up for the Star Wars opening. But *only* if we go to the midnight showing the night before at Muvico. ‘Cause my costume is going to be the same one Cath wore as Leia two years ago – my mom’s old Bride of Frankenstein costume. It’s not exactly accurate. Oh well.…

when we got mixed up with music fest
What… a long… weekend. Yesterday morning was actually kinda slow. We went and ate breakfast at this place in Millington, and all I had was toast, since the thought of any other breakfast food made me feel ill. Mom and I worked on my Misato jacket some … and then we went to the play. They did great. It was…

Shadowcat and Lina boots!
And now cool boots! Brown Boots, which I thought could be good for any number of things, namely Lina and Eowyn (speaking of which, I’ve decided to hold off on Eowyn until the LOTR opening in Dec. If Cath is coming to Dragon*con, we want to do Urd, Skuld and Belldandy together. Which means a day of wearing Urd again.)…

Hermione and Rally pics
gads I’m tired!! I’ll explain why later. Right now, gaze upon the glory of my Rally Vincent wig. Ok, so maybe it’s not quite glorious, but I’m pleased with it! Also took new Hermione pics the other day. (ok so that’s not crookshanks, it’s mrs norris… but close enough!) There were also a couple of nice outside ones – it…

Rally Vincent wig finished
Mum and I worked on Xiaoyu some more today. We got the stripes put up the sides and around the bottoms. That’s about it, and that took most of the day :\ BUT………. I finally finished my Rally Vincent wig!!! Ok, so not completely finished — I need to trim the back some more, it’s a bit too long. But…

when i had con dreams
Last night I woke up at 4 AM. I don’t know why. I was kinda freaked out. I was sleeping in the living room, cause my cousin is over this week and he was in my room. So I got up and made my cousin switch places with me. It still took me an hour to fall asleep after that,…

Xiaoyu progress
Put the yellow trim on the shorts yesterday, and I cut out all the little decorative thingies and the thing on the back out of newspaper (for Xiaoyu, of course). Today I’ll cut the decorative things out of the yellow fabric and go ahead and sew them on. Once that’s done, all I need to do is the cuffs and…

Hotels
We found a hotel in Nashville…. we’re going to stay there Thursday night and then get up there and catch our 6AM flight to Durham for Animazement. That way we won’t have to drive all night and then be dragging all day friday. Ash is considering going to Dragoncon with us. Plus, if she goes to Dragoncon, it cuts down…
