    when kevin found his true calling

    I’m keeping my cousin this week, and this afternoon I went to Hobby Lobby to use my gift cards I’ve racked up over the past half year. When in the bead/necklace/etc aisle, he found this pendant that looked like a sword. He asked if he could have it, and since it was only $3 and was in a super good…

    when there was an earthquake

    Earthquake! I woke up this morning and the house was shaking and rumbling. I thought at first it was the heat coming on (just really loudly and violently than normal), or a plane passing really low, and then I thought “maybe it’s an earthquake” and then I went back to sleep. As you can tell I was very concerned. So…

    when i spent the day with my grandpa

    So yesterday I spent the afternoon with my grandparents. It was really nice, my granddad showed me his WW2 uniform and told me about his time in the Air Force. He also showed me his collection of old postcards… he has a LOT of them, but they’re not just any old postcards, they’re all from family members dating back over…

    when i wanted to go ride a bike

    This weekend… Saturday I’m planning on going bowling with the Memphis Fanforce, should be fun, should be sore on sunday, haha 🙂 Sunday I’m going to spend the afternoon with my grandparents. In other news, I’ve been working on my costume site’s redesign for like, a month now. It’s still got a ways to go, because I’m redoing EVERYTHING, an…

    when i thought maybe a kitten

    Good grief, I got up an hour again and I’m already so tired… I’m so tired of being tired, haha!! Last night was our second basketball game, I didn’t get a chance to talk about the first last week. We won this week! I started… mm no points but close several times, mostly rebounds and a lot of shoving and…

    when indy found a toy

    Hee! Cute things Indy has done recently: Ash and I went up the attic to find a board game to play, and Indy came with us. There was an old dog toy on the floor – I think it was one of Molly’s – and Indy picked it up and started playing with it, all excited. We were done by…

    when i needed some alone time

    Today was not easy. I think I’ve ended up making myself sick – I ended up skipping school today, I’m so tired and icky feeling. I’m going to try not to talk about it anymore here… forgive me if I do, I know it’s depressing to read. But that brings about something I kept meaning to mention! You may have…

    when it was quiet

    My little friend is gone, there’s nothing else to do now but move on and remember all the good times I had with him. Still, this house is very sad right now. Mum keeps crying and blaming herself. Dad is just quiet. I’m going out to lunch with my grandmother. That will be nice. I have no idea what do…

    stupidity!

    I’m glad Ash has been here tonight to keep me cheered up… here’s some random stupidity that happened tonight. For some reason, out of nowhere, while we were looking at references of one of the Arwen dresses I’m making this year, I said, “What if Steven Tyler had played Elrond?” The idea cracked us up, so I made this. Is…

    when a dude fell asleep

    My cousin broke his ankle in his basketball game tonight ! I never got to see him play this season either! Haha, some dude in my class today fell asleep while we were watching a video, and the class ended. I needed to get past him… I thought should I wake him up so the teacher doesn’t see, or just…

    when my hair exploded

    And on a completely unrelated note… I curled my hair sunday night, and when I took it down monday morning, it was like, an explosion. HOLY CRAP it looked so stupid I had to take pictures. All I could think was, “Why can’t it turn out like this when I curl it for Hermione?!” bwhahaha… it did calm down later…

    when the exorcist killed my laptop

    I watched The Exorcist on my computer the night before last. It was about halfway through, and my computer just shut down out of nowhere. It was plugged into the wall and everything.. it just shut down. It was creepy. Then last night, I watched the Director’s Commentary, which I always do. That’s a big draw for me, for a…

    when arwen had blonde hair

    I’m tempted to remove my descriptions of my pictures from elfwood all together, since apparently nobody reads them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten comments about how “Galadriel has blonde hair,” on my Arwen and Frodo picture, when it says quite clearly in my description that it is ARWEN and Frodo. I got another one yesterday, and…
