    when samara got me

    August 29, 2003 /

    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.…

    August 23, 2003 /

    I’m back over here on the local journal because cosplay.com’s journals are down for a bit. Once they’re back up I’ll move any new posts made here over there… Updates on Dragoncon costumes: Amidala is nearly finished – my headdress is done, I just need to style the wig around it. I need to add some velcro to the back…

Gosh I hate getting my teeth cleaned. Now I’m having to clean my room. And I’m not allowed to drive my car anymore until we decide what to do…

    when it was just a bird

    July 31, 2003 /

    *sobs over carcass of her car* I got a pretty quidditch broom. Turns out my cousin David talks in his sleep just like his big sister Rachel. We were both sleeping on the pull out couches in the living room of our suite in Niagara, and the sink in the kitchen kept making gargling noises. At one point in the…

    July 20, 2003 /

    My car broke down on me friday. It was hot. It was bad. I will write more about it later. Today we got locked out my grandparents’ house. I had to climb onto the balcony twice to try the doors up there. They didn’t open either. My uncle brought us keys eventually but again, it was hot. Watching the Osbornes…
