    when we had a halloween party

    The party tonight was fun! First we all ate a little something, then played some DDR… Then we played our murder mystery game. I was Eve, who was pushing her husband to claim the title of the recently dead duke so she could be a duchess, and who claimed to be from a rich french family but who had actually…

    when we took arwen pics

    Arwen pics are up! I also went back and added a few to my “thought” post from earlier: Mel is going to be Hermione for the HP opening, so I thought I’d wear one of my red wigs and be Ginny. I can’t decide tho, do I want to be a more natural red head and wear my Lina wig?…

    when i compared hermione hair

    Oh yeah! Before After Before and After Dying… see, all those lighter blonder “honey” spots are gone! Yay! Also you see normally when I wear Hermione, the night before after washing my hair I braid it and let it dry like that (like in the first pic). I didn’t do that this time, cause I didn’t want my hair to…

    when i wore arwen to school

    Yesterday was OK. I wore Arwen all day… it was ok to work in, the heels gave me a little trouble, and I kept stepping on my dress. I got to school and found out there had been a threat that morning – they have found a live ammo clip right outside the back of the school with a note…

    Halloween 2002 & Arwen thoughts

    I’m very happy with my Arwen costume!! 🙂 Some problems I had with it: 1) Hand sewing came undone again, this time on the belt buckle. It didn’t come all the way off but started slipping. Hand Sewing was starting to come undone on the sleeve. 2) Stepping on the skirt. No wonder women in the olden days didn’t do…

    Art Post: Happy Halloween!

    I wasn’t going to do a halloween picture last year, but the night before I decided what the heck, and did this. Instead of just telling you to guess who everyone is, I’ll just tell you. Qudiar – Obi-Wan from Star Wars Kyte – Kero-chan from Card Captor Sakura Madison – King Arthur from Monty Python and the Holy Grail…

    when i was super bored

    I was this bored in class today: I’m so excited for Halloween! I’m going to wear Arwen all day, then wear Hermione that night ’cause I’m going to the trunk or treat thing for kids with my aunt. I figure I’ll go for the recognition instead of warmth… ha. I’ll take a pic of me in Hermione, ’cause you’ll really…

    Arwen is done, and Lum pic

    Hmm… Is it crossplaying when you’re cosplaying as a guy who crossdresses as a girl? Just wondering… On that note, I was rereading Ranma novels the other night… one day I might make an Ukyou costume. Ukyou is cool. Oh yeah Arwen is done. This weekend I am going to finish Sakura, too. Woo! Ooh look a new pic of…

    when kevin had a million apologies

    I *told* you guys to take care of things for me while I’m gone, and look what happens, Richard Harris dies. Anyway. I feel like I’ve been cut off from the world for the past three days. We were in the Ozarks, doing a lot of nothing. I didn’t think I’d have much of anything to write about, but I…

    when i decided not to be an adult

    I am not going to mess with finding that guy today. I went yesterday and bought Kodocha 3 and 4. That is the cutest comic. I got a free “Manga Sampler” with them… I want to read Marmalade Boy. I paid a bunch on my credit card yesterday. Go me! Oh and I got my first checks ever… they are…

    when i talked about school

    Oh, and I made a 97 on my Anthropology midterm! go me! She started writing a chart of all the grades on the board… and it was like, 98, 97, 86, 79,78,77,76,75,74… and I’m sitting there, all like, “oh god, I hope I made a 77. I bet I made a 77. Oh please have let me made a 77…”…
