| AUSA? Anybody? |
[Feb. 22nd, 2009|09:36 pm] |
Hey e-group (Heather, Beth, Roger...anybody else)
AUSA in the works for this year? I am making desperate attempts to reach Platinum membership with Hyatt, and that would make the 5th stay that I need this year (or the 15 nights) to reach it. So whaddya say, are you guys going? Want for me to book a room or two? I wanna try and get the next size suite XD
Let me know. |

I jumped on the eBandWagon and got a twitter. Why? I dunno. Ronnie suggested it.

Come on, all the cool kids are doing it...
Actually, so far it's been pretty useless but I think that's because I only have like, three friends.
Meh. Back to work.

THE FURNACE IN MY HOUSE IS BROKEN AND THERE IS NO HEAT OH WHY GOD WHY DO YOU NOT LOVE ME ANYMORE. THIS IS A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH.
In other news, the Sun Priestess is done in plenty o' time for Katsucon. Being slightly half-assed, it came out okay (my life would be easier if I stopped refusing to use patterns). It will do for Katsu, but I might re-do the skirt if there are plans to wear it at Dragon*Con. I did finally get to order a wig! My first one! It's a short wig in henna red. Hopefully it matches, I have little experience with wig colors ._.
All I have left to do now is make pants for my Scarecrow costume, and I will have two fancy new costumes for Katsucon! Woo-hoo! I've been spending a lot of money. I forgot how expensive costuming is (I haven't made a real costume since like...July? Whenever I made my pirate).
UHMM..yeah. I'm thinkin' Scarecrow on Friday of the con, Priestess on Saturday. Ninjas on Saturday night. Beth! Bring your ninja. And make Roger get a ninja costume too. We all have matching ones from KarateDepot.com if anybody wants to join in.
OKAY BYE IT'S TOO COLD FOR ME TO KEEP TYPING BECAUSE MY FINGERS ARE NUMB. |

| Heck yes. |

My scarecrow costume. I love it.
If you see this at Katsucon or any con afterwards, come talk to me.
OR FEAR ME.
All I have to do is make the pants, which will be combined with platform boots, so I will be SUPER TALL SUPER SCARECROW. AND I GET TO WEAR A NOOSE AROUND MY NECK HOW AWESOME IS THAT.
I think it's funny that, being black and all, I am willingly tying a noose around my neck for a costume. There's something off about that.

So, I've been watching it slowly build ever since this new-wave 80's craze started to surface, but it's finally here.
My golden opportunity for music. The kind of music that I really like. With synthesizers.
See, at the beginning, most of the bands were still kind of annoying, a kind of hybrid mix between fall-out boy and and synth-pop. But now, it's all just pure 80's synth kick-back,
And I love it. I can go on iTunes, and find 10 albums in five minutes that I want.
I really need to start getting paychecks again so that I can go on an album buying binge. Or I could just steal music from Lexxy-Luv. And Heather. And Ronnie. Because they have tons of that shit.
Hint hint, Heather. |

I have been working at our church toy warehouse for a week now, and dear lord it is so tiring. I carry boxes and bags and move bikes and do manly lifting of things all day, and it's in D.C. so my commute is terrible.
But at least I will get a PAYCHECK COUGH COUGH I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A PAYCHECK SINCE SEPTEMBER 30TH. AND I WAS EMPLOYED ALL THAT TIME.
::composes self::
I read the Communist Manifesto last night. You know what? I think Communism's kind of stupid. Outside of the fact that it would never work (especially not now), it's just...silly. It seems to me like another reason not to work, and be mad at rich people (even though some rich people do really suck and don't deserve their money). Anyhow, I'm not gonna get into it. I just thought it would be...a better read, I suppose? The actual manifesto is only 40 pages.
UHM...yeah. I have nothing else to say. I'm still chugging my way through War and Peace. I'm up to part 3, but I have very little time to read it.
Next on my list of "Important Sounding Old Books That Erin Must Read":
Paradise Lost
Atlas Shrugged
The Prince
A Kid in King Arthur's Court :D (gotta have a fun one).
The Art of War
I still need to finish Gulliver's Travels too.
Over and out. |

| A new art blog!! |
[Nov. 29th, 2008|03:40 pm] |
So, I made a companion blog for my website, which I'm trying to get up and running. I'm redesigning the entire site (again) in more of a vintage-ee feel. The design I have now is really limited in it's abilities.
Anyhow, the new blog is ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) thewhalebaby . I'll still be using this blog as my main life-update kind of thing, but I'll be using the whale baby as more of an arts/craft blog.
I'll probably still post drawings here too, but all of my craftwork will be at the other blog. I sure would appreciate some friends :D
THANKS GUYZ.

Okay, okay, I give in...
Firefly is a really good show.
Will I go batshit insane for it, like the folks at Dragon*Con? Probably not. That's not my style.
But it is a pretty good show.
Now I need to watch Serenity.
Curse you, Melissa!!! |

So, I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled today. It was awesome to be put under (see, last time I had surgery, I was three. Seriously. Nothing ever happens to me). I fell asleep, and I woke up with a mouth full of cotton.
Overall I'm not in any huge amount of pain - there's one tooth that's bothering me but it's bearable. I have tons of Vicadin to take care of that. But really, the vicadin is the worst part of it all. If I stand for more than five minutes, I get incredibly dizzy, I get hot flashes, and I feel like I'm going to collapse.
So I'll be spending lots of time in my bed, browsing the internet, watching Slayers (heck yes!) and listening to my iPod, which is connected to my iDance Wall-E :D
Good times. I kind of want to draw something too, but I don't know what. Oh well, I've got the whole weekend. |

| An interesting one? Wow! |
[Oct. 10th, 2008|02:21 pm] |
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a completely made up, fictional memory of you and me.
It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake.
When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with! |

| AUSA UPDATE! |
[Sep. 30th, 2008|01:22 pm] |
Beth! Roger! Heather! Ronnie's brother is coming along now, which makes six in the suite, so the new (and most likely final) price for the room is $115.00 per person! Excellent, eh?
Now, I would prefer if I could get cash from everybody before I check in, so that I dont have to put it all on my credit card. Are you going to the Renn Faire on Saturday (you should :D)...or could we meet up sometime before the con? Or we can just meet up as soon as I get there and I can collect the funds. Let me know what's easiest.
I AM SO EXCITED. |
|
|
| Question! |
[Sep. 16th, 2008|12:24 pm] |
Beth, Roger, are you going to Katsucon? If so, do you have a room yet? I'm booking one, and I'm curious if you're going.
Amanda, are you going to AUSA/Katsu/either?
EDIT: The room is booked! It's the same suite that I booked for AUSA (I'm rollin' big, I know!!)
The cost will be 373$. With four people in the room, it's 94 a person :D
The room will potentially be:
Me
Heather
Ronnie
Jeremy
Beth?
Roger?
That's my cutoff. The invitation stands, you two! |
