Honey in my Gears

Just a few random pictures I pulled off my camera:

( under the cut )

And I couldn't keep this under the cut. I want to post this for pax_athena...


I'm not a hardcore fan like she is, but I just had to buy them. Every time I wear them, I'll think of you :)
(also, they have a pink band around the waistline. PINK!)

I also bought about 6 pairs of superhero boys underpants (yes, I frequently shop in the little boys department). Husky boys underwear fits me well, and now Batman, Spiderman, and Iron Man will be as close to my crotch as ever!

Also, I have been planning some major sewing and creative projects, including finishing up some projects to be sent out, and ones to sell, and little mini top hats for me!

Also, I am working on getting a 1" button maker (EDIT: I GOT ONE) to make buttons to sell at Tora-Con, at where Tiffani and I will be buying a booth to sell our frilly wares (and buttons). I also want to make an assload of buttons for Voltaire to trade for a shirt or something ;)

Also, I am going to do something wonderful with RUM, possibly on Sunday.

Also, ATTENTION mooncalfe: I may not be able to make it to TCAF, but we'll see. There may be a way. And that way will be filled with trickery.

Also, GAOL!

There's just 9 more hours before I find out if school is closed! And I'm still procrastinating. YAY!

Awww yeah! Guess who got the series box set of My So-Called Life... that's right. It's me.
Woot!

Home from faire early. Slept off the corset-accident pain today, which still resides in my guts. Baby mechanism is under control after going haywire Friday and Saturday (until now, that is; see, it knows I'm talking about it). A tad grumpy. I'm swearing off outdoor faires. I'm sorry, but I am.

Upon arriving home, Kelly asks me to join her for dinner. Yummy food was had. Chicago was watched. Back home again, I find a letter from icantmakeme and those are ALWAYS pleasant knee-slappers :)

More good: Charles put Chrono Cross on my laptop. Next is Final Fantasy VII. I'm hoping for Lunar Star Story Complete next! Also, the ethernet cable runs all the way to the far end of my room, which means I get to lounge on my bed and surf the net! Oh, and send hw to teachers, bladee-bladee-blah.

Top of the list after finishing my homework (well, it's not technically due til Wednesday...) is to do up the mix cd for my pen-pal Maylee and send it off to Czech Republic. Then I have to finish my letter to Carmen in Germany, and then I have to stuff both their letters with postcards 'n tea and not forget that Carmen asked me to write a postcard to her in German... crikey. I'll be straining myself. Nouns and genders and verbs are so terribly difficult for me right now. But it's good practice :)

I suppose I'll also be shaking off the sick with what I think I'm coming down.

Super.

Dream
I dreamed of Wonderland University and will be working on a full-length animation, starting with the scene where Alice fails to enroll into The Mad Hatter's Infinity 101 (010101010101...) class because her teacup won't fit into the room.

projects
Charles and I will be working on animations galore in the coming weeks as well as a RIT late night teusday radio show (so RITers should maybe stop by for a visit and say hi).

My computer has bit the (hopefully not too) big one. It once again needs to be shipped to apple for logic board repairs. Hopefully, I won't lose anything, but I risk it every time, you know. I put three new programs for music editing/mixing fun, and then it crashes. I did get a very good show in last week at the station, though.

Work
Also, good news!! I may have a spectacular internship for next semester (which starts next week). Charles has met someone who has a publishing business, and needs an intern for InDesign goodness. It's right up my freaking alley and I am hoping to get some stuff together by tomorrow or Friday to kinda interview.

Random
Anyway, massive shopping spree this weekend, too. Old Navy, Wallyworld, trifts, foods, and Borders borders borders... I spent waaaay more than I should have.

I AM FINALLY GOING TO GET PAID TO SCARE LITTLE KIDS!!!

I finally saw The Punisher and played a two-hour game of 6 Degrees with Kelly.

Got a german phrase tape and some special fx junk from arlene's.

My Onion Horiscope: For a short time, your name will be synonymous with spontaneous human combustion, but then it'll turn out you'd been planning the whole thing for weeks.
Anyone who knows about that one story I wrote for my Quark class should know why this is so appropriate (in short, for those who don't know, I wrote a story where I was able to combust on cue).



I'm lonely and I miss Tom. I'm wondering what this feeling is coarsing through my veins is. I don't recognize it as love. I think it's just missing him...

I don't want to hurt or get hurt. I just want to learn the moulin rouge lesson.

LOS ANGELES - Funk singer Rick James, best known for the 1981 hit "Super Freak," died Friday, apparently of natural causes, police said.

James, 56, died at 9:45 a.m. at a residence near Universal City, said Officer Esther Reyes, a Police Department spokeswoman.

"He died apparently of natural causes. We learned of his death after responding to a radio call," Reyes said.

After his big hit, James' fame began to fade as he became embroiled in legal problems and health troubles.

James was convicted in 1993 of assaulting two women. The first attack occurred in 1991 when he restrained and burned a young woman with a hot pipe during a cocaine binge at his house in West Hollywood. He was free on bail when the second assault occurred in 1992 in James' hotel room.

James was sentenced to more than two years in state prison.

In 1997, he released a new album, but a year later he suffered a stroke while performing at Denver's Mammoth Events Center, derailing a comeback tour.

In 1998 he also underwent hip replacement surgery.

In other news, it was a rough morning at the hospital and at the end of it all, they said I'm showing VERY VERY early warning signs of diabetes. Not to say I'm in the danger zone quite yet, but I'm skating the edge of a normal blood-sugar reading. Apparently, I have a slight resistance to insulin (sp?). Worrysome, kinda, but not too much. I can still avoid it. They said if I don't take good care of myself, I'd end up with it about 20 years down the line. "So... I've got some time?" I replied. I was feeling mighty yucky, so I just went home. I wanted to go see Sam, and see if coffingirl was home. But I was just so dead tired. I went right home and passed out. Missed dinner. Got a migrain instead.

I picked up my stack of comics, which kept me entertained the whole night, since there weren't any good movies on TBS. The best I got was The Professional on amc and Little Nikki on fox.
They make SILENT HILL the comic book! You bet your hot little ass I picked those up. They were okay. The art was pretty cool. Also picked up AUTUMN #1 and Too Much Coffee Man.

And today, I stopped off at Barnes and Noble to find the Invader ZIM dvd for mum's birthday next week, but they didn't have it, so I indulged my senses and picked up Verde's Il Trovatore, my favorite opera EVER! I can't wait to listen to it.

So now you know, rick james is dead, I like comics and opera, and I'm a compulsive spender.
Cheers!

I am very tired. I had a long weekend filled with good feelings and bad feelings. Good feelings came when I wasn't stuck with my mum, sister or aunt's kids.

Yesterday, I went to the DePeyster festival as always and saw Josh (he is a kid I meet there every year and we hang out and talk about movies, scripts, and other stuff- we only see each other one day of the year). He asked me to come up for a week so he can shoot me into his next movie. I'll concider it, but I don't know how I'll be getting from Goveneur to DePeyster. I might have to pull major strings but I'd love to do it.
Anyway, it downpoured the whole day, so the festival was washed out (but still commenced). We were literally standing in 4 inches of water. We had to put boards on the ground. It was fun.

Today, we went to the family reunion on the way home. I spent the whole time talking to my cousins Mark and Dan. And Mark's girlfriend, who sideshows and teaches bellydance and burlesque. I'm going to get together with them soon. They live in Webster, and Pele teaches in Rochester at Goddess Hour and All Stars.
I'm going to take her classes in October. And we're going to get together and poi.

Lots of mixed feelings going on, mostly I just want to get out of this house more than ever. I'm constantly reminded of why I ran away the first time. And it's starting to piss me off. Now for an early night in.

Oh, and my website is updated. Good night everybody.
