    when i wanted to take yuffie pics

    I want to go out and take pictures of my Yuffie costume today – it’s really really nice out and perfect for taking pictures. I wanted to go into the field next door but someone is mowing it, so if we do take pics it’ll just be in the front yard. I just had a weird experience – I came…

    when i needed a con fix

    Saw Matrix 3 last night – it was ok. I guess my main problem was that I had been spoiled on the entire thing a couple of months ago. I need a convention fix! The only one anytime soon is numa rei no con in december and I still haven’t found anybody to go with me. I have a project…

    when samara got me

    I was crawling around in my closet earlier today looking for a shoe. The light in my closet has been broken for years, and the floor is completely covered with junk, so I was just sorta feeling around in the dark, probably breaking stuff by crawling on it. All of a sudden I came up with a handful of hair.…
