    when i worked on stuff

    *peeks in* Er, hi. Yeah, it was a busy weekend, ok? XD Friday, my parents & Ash’s parents were going on a field trip (our moms are teachers) and it was an overnight thing, so Ash and I stayed out at my house. We had a watergun fight, which I TOTALLY won, yay me! We rented The Waterboy, The Rainmaker,…

    when my registration got lost

    Man, Cath got her registration confirmation for Animazement on Saturday (after I emailed to ask about it on thursday), but I still haven’t gotten mine. I know if her registration got there, mine did too, because they were in the same envelope! I hope it’s not my email eating messages again… Or they’re probably going in alphabetical order! I HATE…

    when i sacrificed a tshirt

    I might get to dye my hair (or at least part of it) purple after the convention, before my Disneyworld trip! Ash, too. Purple’s my number 1 choice, with blue or utena pink in 2nd and 3rd. As of this morning my Selphie costume is finished… an old UofM Tigers basketball t-shirt sacrificed it’s sleeves for Selphie’s armband. No big…

    when we shopped

    Well, yesterday wasn’t bad. I went over and got Ash, then we went to office max and got some things, and then to the mall. I got a Monty Python and the Holy Grail card game! and a Patty O’Green (from rainbow brite!) shirt. Pretty cool. Then we went over to the anime store and I got an Evangelion CD…

    when cath made up a story

    Oh, and our travel plans for Animazement are back on track! I have to share the excuse Cath came up with to tell her boss. It’s obvious she spent quite a while making up this story. She told her boss she had to go to NC that day with her cousin (me), because my boyfriend is have knee surgery. He’s…

The plan was to go to my grandmother’s on thurs the 24th, go to nashville early the next morning, catch a flight to Durham, stay for Animazement all weekend, leave Sunday afternoon. But for all the planning we’ve been trying to do over the past few weeks for this……

    when i decided between backpacks

    The Mummy 2 last night was good. I’ll talk more about it later. Right now I”m at Ash’s house – my parents went to some kind of party, and I didn’t want to stay at the house alone, so we went to Old Gravy, the Toy store, IHOP for dinner and the mall. Now I’m back here. I was going…

    when i had to go to the dentist

    Well…. I had to go to the dentist today. Scary. Well, it wasn’t near as bad as I thought it was going to be… even though we hadn’t been there in a while (due to an insurance change) all the people there remembered me and couldn’t believe how old I’d gotten. I had a surprisingly good checkup – no problems,…

    when i lamented my lack of costume photos

    Ya’ll are right, the one Quistis pic I have is no good! I don’t think the Jupiter pics are all that great, either, except this one. The best pic I have of myself online, I guess, would be the one of Cath, Ash, and me from 99… Or the bad webcam pic. We were planning on taking new pics of…

    when cat had an accident

    Oh, poor Cat. She had her first wreck. She bumped into the back of a lady. This woman RAGES out of her car… slams her door, comes storming over to Cath and starts SCREAMING at her. I wish I’d been there to tell that woman off. That’s some serious road rage, there. Lookie, lookie! Boots I bought! For my Selphie…

    when i typed a giant chunk of text

    I’ve been sooooo out of it lately. Wednesday: Went to the mall w/my dad (weird). He spent his EBX gift card on a joystick and FF7 for the comp (which cost $5!), and somehow the gift card ended up being for $50 instead of $30. We spent too much money at the music store, but the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack…

    when we cleaned the attic

    Yesterday was weird. I had the day off, but I since I was house-sitting/watching my cousin/cat-sitting, I was over at my aunt’s house that night, and had to get up early to take my cousin to school. After dropping him off I came home and fell asleep on the couch. I knew my mom had the week off, she’s on…

    when i was excited for con

    I’ve been looking thru Convention photos at a Fan’s View, and I just had to come over and say… GAAAAAAH I CAN’T WAIT FOR ANIMAZEMENT!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe *bounces around* This is going to be my first anime convention! I mean, I’ve been to the local comic convention, but that’s not the same. It’s really small. Not many people in costume either!…

    when i got some suggestions

    Thanks for all the suggestions in the cosplay poll! I’m not familiar enough with Zelda to do her… nor would I want to do a dress (she does wear a dress right?) I don’t like the whole princess thing… TMNT… ha, I think I did that once when I was like, 8… Terra/Rydia/Celes – once again, the familiarity problem… I…

    when I made a costume decision

    Ok, I’m doing Beatrix and Milly, but I need a 3rd. I ran through the choices… Sailormoon costume: Did one already, don’t really want to do another. Sailor Lead Crow might be fun, but a pain to make AND a pain to wear. Out. CardCaptor Sakura: I’m not cute enough to be Sakura. Plus I hate wearing dresses, especially feminine…

    when we decided to cosplay

    Catherine and I want to do costumes together again this year, but we can’t figure out what. Here were our ideas… Sailormoon: We did this last year, so we don’t want to do that again (tho we did think about Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow, but I don’t really want to wear something like that! I mean, it’d be cold!…

    Something before I leave for the game: Halloween 2000 costumes! I finally got the film developed. Ash is young Professor McGonagall, Cath is SuperSailormoon, Sara is the girl in the kimino, my cousin Kevin is the knight, and I’m Jupiter. Laugh at us all you want. We had a hell of a time 😀
