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 we went to hofest

    Back from horrorfest, and finally done house sitting so I got to home last night!! 🙂 Got a bunch of mail to go through, but I got sgc_cosplay’s AWESOME birthday gift – I’ll post pics of it in my LJ tonight when I get home. Here’s a couple of Ho’Fest pics until I get the rest up and can do…

    when the kids were too darn cute

    I faltered a little bit today – we went in our princess costumes to visit a pre-kindergarten class (about 3 years old – all boys) and they were all so adorable. They were all wearing little hats that looked like dogs and it just killed me. I wanted to scoop them all up and bring them home with me! But…

    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 people were crazy

    Someone just told me I look like Christina Aguilera (or however you spell it) again – that’s just weird. It’s a compliment and I take it as such, but still, um. I don’t look anything like her. At all.

    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…
