old
This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

when i was prepared to be a vampire slayer
Well! I’m glad nobody bumped into me at school today and made me drop my bag. Turns out I was still carrying the stake from my dragoncon buffy costume in my bag. Someone might think I was building a very small fence. ugggggh still don’t feel good. headache went away. throat not so bad. nose stuffy.

when i was sick, i cooked
OH there’s my hat! I am sick. My throat hurts. A lot. I am very tired. I think it’s post-dragoncon stuff. Why is it whenever I don’t feel good I cook? Earlier today for lunch I made one of those instant ramen packets. After a few bites I threw it out, and then went back and made mashed potatoes. I…

when my boyfriend would be a dress up doll
You know how much that stupid cleaning thing cost? $2100. I’m not kidding. And that’s rounded down. If I had a boyfriend, the poor boy would end up being a dress up doll. He’d probably have as many costumes as me, as I’d have to make one to match every one of mine. Sad, isn’t it…

when a salesman came by
Dude, there is a guy here demonstrating some kind of cleaning device. I mean, with the actual dumping dirt on the floor and everything. Mom and Dad get a free stay in some hotel in a city of their choice if they sit through this. Those nuts.

when i signed off for dcon
Ok guys, I’m off until after Dragon*con. I’m working full time this week, school starts tuesday and I still have DC stuff to finish… so I’m officially gone until next tuesday. If you’re going to dragon con and want to find me (I’ll have sundowner copies with me!! buy them!!), over the course of the weekend I’ll be wearing: Shadowcat…

when the moms wanted to go to dragoncon
Last night Ash’s parents came over to go out with my parents to eat. I was looking through the dragoncon schedules I’d printed out so I showed it to them. They see a lot of stuff they’d like to have seen, and mom’s like, asking me to go to these Anne McCaffrey or whatever panels. I’m like, there’s no time!…

when mom cleaned up too much
The other day my aunt bought me a shirt at Abercrombie. It ended up being too big. So I called her and told her to save the receipt so I could take it back and get a smaller size. Then I folded the shirt up and laid it on my bathroom sink where I wouldn’t forget it. Today I was…

when i got a new job
Woo! I might be getting a new job 😀

when i went down a rabbit hole
Weird thing… have had the name Ralph Bakshi stuck in my head the past few days. Probably just stuck in there after looking up info on Mighty Mouse for dad. I just ended up going down a rabbit hole about various Ralph Bakshi projects… looked at the IMDB entry for his version of LOTR and turns out the script was…

when i made ash pick costumes for dragoncon
HEY ASH!! I don’t like you being in school, cause I can’t call you when I think of something during the day. Bring your old purple robe to Dragoncon, and Yuna, and Meryl. Along with Han Solo if you get it done, and whatever you can scrape up of Jubilee. (if you want, just go with the black (or pink)…

when i was a tiny dancer
I wish *I* had a pirate smile.

when anime expo was a reality
After Animazement Ash and I started joking around about skipping all conventions next year and putting all our money towards going to Anime Expo (which is the big ole’ convention in California) I wasn’t serious about it – I mean, I’d LOVE to go, but I rather go to a handful of small conventions over the course of a few…

when i had another dream
I like looking at IMDB… for instance, here is the cast list for the original He-Man. They really made use of their cast. And Alan Oppenheimer (who played Skeletor) also did Mighty Mouse in the 50’s, and the Blob in that “Pryde of the X-Men” cartoon, and “Additional Voices” in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He’s done “Additional Voices” a lot.…

when there was a package on the porch
Oh! You know how I said my worst enemy is the mailperson? Well, the mailperson is at it again. Whenever we get packages too large for the mailbox, the mailperson leaves them by the garage. And not off to the side, but just a little in front of the door so that you have to get OUT of the car,…

when mom had a wreck
Mom just had a wreck! Dad said no one was hurt and apparently the car is still driveable. ick. Poor old Honda. and mom’s under enough stress what with starting at a new school monday.

when i watched he-man
AH! Hah I almost forgot! I managed to catch the last ten minutes of He-Man on cartoon network this afternoon. I had forgotten but was switching around and there it was. One thing I like – Adam doesn’t look exactly like He-Man, only wearing tights and a pink shirt. I had also forgotten – day before yesterday went to Target…

when i was going to take anthropology
I AM TAKING ANTHROPOLOGY!!!!!! Hee!! Anyway. I went in to see what other class I could scrape up for this semester, and she’s looking for an Liberal Arts class in the right time frame (I needed more LA classes), and she goes “All I’ve got is History of Math and Anthropology.” And I think I practically leapt across the desk…

when it was stormy
I have to go up to school today. And then after that I have to go to my mom’s new school to see her class room. Guess I’ll stop on my way home – if it’s not raining too hard – and get that colour remover I need. It’s storming really good here right now. It’s nice. It’s keeping it…

when i read the princess diaries
I really, really love Meg Cabot’s The Princess Diaries series. It’s not exactly my normal reading material, but the movie was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, so I ended up buying the second book in the series while in Jackson last month. Well, if you go read the books now, make sure you read the FIRST one…

when contacts were super expensive
Ash – if you see this, I found black contact lenses. I was wrong about the price. It’s higher. $150 for a pair that doesn’t cover the entire eye, $325 for a pair that covers the whole eye. (if anyone knows where one can get black contact lenses ala Evil willow for a cheaper price, let me know.) Um. I…
