    when i hated cossies

    I really hate the word “Cossies” in place of costumes. It annoys me. I overlook it when people use it when talking to me, but everytime I run across it online it makes me want to shoot myself. Or someone else. (2016 EDIT: It’s 2016 and I still hate this word. Thankfully it seems to have died off.)

    when a security guard got in my face

    At Dragoncon, they have, in the past couple of years, had a ban on photography from like, 7-11 (or something like that) at night in the Hyatt. I completely understand their reasons for this (fire marshall – taking pics clogs up the paths too much, and there’s not much room over there). So I’m fine with the ban, I don’t…

    when daisy came home

    Today’s been a good birthday! 🙂 Nothing major. Most of my birthday stuff is this weekend. Had a small party at work today. But best part was I went with my aunt to help her pick out a new doggie at the Humane Society! She totally clicked with a 5yr old lab mix mutt named Scout. Black and tan, and…

    when i got a tacky hat

    So yesterday I met up with Mema and Daddy Bob for a quick little birthday thing. Kristie fixed cupcakes for me, since I’m getting my beloved Miss Muffin cake at work tomorrow, and another at home tomorrow night. The cupcakes were awesome – they had Spider-man cupcake paper thingies, and I got a Spider-man candle! I got some money, Hitchhiker’s…

    when i got flying circus

    Tomorrow is the day I finally get my birthday present from my grandma. She bought it for me like, months and months ago, so I’ve been waiting for this day for a while! Oh yes, it’s the Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus Megaset. YAY. I also asked for the Firefly DVD set. I haven’t seen any of it, but as…

    when i had to unpack

    I found my embroidery sample, finally. Kes had gotten it, I think – it was under the ottoman. Today was fairly nice. I saw my grandparent’s new house, it was very cute! I really like it. I’m glad they’ve moved. I finally got my boxes back (they’ve been at my aunt’s house since they came back from FedEx) – I’m…

    when i was a freckle face

    My freckles are like 10x worse this year. Like, I don’t mind them at all, but I don’t think of myself as a person with freckles. But then I looked in the mirror in the car and I was like WHOA MAN I AM A FRECKLE FACE!! I should take a pic of me outside of costume makeup to show…

    when the fish died

    I just saw a news article saying most of the fish in the New Orleans Aquarium had died, due to the loss of electricity. That makes me sad, since we had so much fun at the aquarium when we were in New Orleans year before last. Glad to know the penguins survived, I’d hate to think the little penguin friend…

    when i realized i had a jango shirt

    So I have this shirt I hang out in a lot. I sleep in it occasionally. It’s just a comfy t-shirt to wear at home. I’ve had it forever. It’s a kid’s yellow t-shirt with some Star Wars stuff on the front. So today I had it on, and I looked down at it, and was like, “WTF! Why do…

    when the power was out

    So, the rain has stopped, for a while, anyway. Due to the fact we haven’t had much rain around here lately, we didn’t get flooded – even though it rained ALL night, our neighbor’s front yard wasn’t flooded (and it always floods when we get a lot of rain – the front part of his yard is very low, kids…

    when i hated the news

    I hate when these news shows and reports interview people who are upset. Why don’t they just leave them alone, instead of displaying their misery to millions? I swear, if something horrible ever happens to me, and I see some idiot coming at me with a video camera and a microphone, I’ll punch ’em.

    when there was a lot of rain

    We’re all fine here. Just a lot of rain. Nothing bad so far. It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, too, so we just have to worry about flooding. Luckily I don’t have school tomorrow so I don’t have to drive all the way into town, I just have to go to work. We’ll probably be slammed at work, since…

    when i didn’t watch firefly

    Here’s the thing: I KNOW I would love Firefly if I would watch it. I know I would. It’s Joss, and it’s space, of course I’d love it… but I think that’s why I won’t watch it. I don’t feel like getting into anything else right now. I dunno, I’m weird like that. I think I’ll ask for the dvd…
