Alrighty, my costuming friends. When I am not broken any more I'm going to start swing dancing with a buddy of mine. As a fan of swing music, I want a swing outfit to wear. So, any reccomendations of some '30s and'40s patterns, dresses, skirts, pants, whatever. I'm pretty excited about it.

A question for all you... Do you think I should let my hair grow out?

( me with hair for those that may have forgotten what it's like )

p.s. you're opinion won't change the outcome. I'm just curious.

10:03 pm: heh
So for the first time in like six years i painted my nails, fingers and toes. It looks like a six year old did it. ...and it's weird. I may or may not do this again. Oh, and they're blue.

10:00 pm: colorado round two
It's official. I will be going to Colorado again this year. Reynen and I will be doing the trip together again. There will be fun and adventure with Sly and friends too. Then I will smite folks at the end of the trip.

07:51 pm: phone MIA
Well, I know where it is. My phone is in my rock climbing bag in the back seat of Paddi's car. I'd call her... but I can't. I can't call her from someone else's phone because her number is in my phone *facepalm* So feel free to send me fun texts... just don't expect a reply any time soon.

09:42 am: What Kind of Boots Are You?
thought as much...

You Are Combat Boots

You are a complete and total rebel. You refuse to do what you're told, and you're quite stubborn. You really don't care what other people think of you. You are tough and often ruthless. You are independent, iconoclastic, and countercultural. You resent authority figures. You are very headstrong. No one is going to pressure you into being someone you're not!

11:12 am: interview again
Not sure how that went. I'm afraid that nerves might have gotten the better of me. But now the process is taken over by the campus police dept. They'll decide who to polygraph and drug test. Hopefully I'll know in the next day or two...

12:19 pm: pattern that was requested
I know a bunch of people asked for a pattern for my garb. It's technical term is ghawazee. I love it. It is super comfy, flattering, and girth appropriate.

09:15 am: getting dressed
Is is a sign of a good costume that as you put it on you think to yourself, "Damn, it's gonna suck when I need to go potty." Pics will follow after the weekend. It's my annual A-Kon venture.


p.s. yes, I call it potty. One day I might actually call it a restroom or bathroom, but as long as I'm asking a kid if he needs to go potty every 30 minutes, potty it is.

01:56 pm: allergies
bleh, in my old age I'm developing allergies. Of all the things I could be allergic to my body chooses dust (my mom is too). Dust. Anyone who has been to my house knows the irony. I am a little sneeze factory.

on another allergic note... On the way to Scarborough one day I stopped at CVS to get some cold/allergy drugs for Lex (generic Diamatap Cold & Allergy). When we got to the Faire Lex had hives along his chin line and across his tummy. It was his first reaction to anything. We went straight to the first aid area. Turns out that my kiddo is allergic to that allergy medicine.
