Um a certain bookstore I won't mention wants me to stay. I mean, after being treated unfairly....do I stay?

Damn. I mean, I do need a job and I'm going back into work - today even! But do I just go back to work, no questions asked? I suppose its back to the grind for me, which is fine. -_- *sigh* But! I'll be official done in a few months.

Working so much sux. Peter Pan come save me....pretty preeese?

I'm lonely and bored. In need of attention and food. I feel like a needy cat in more ways than one, which is probably why I'm so gosh dimply sympathetic with Ikuto right now. I just had to go and get another fandom, ya? Yar.

Don't mind me. I'm pouting. I like pouting. It usually makes people get me what I want so I'll just toddle along like this until I'm too bored to move or somebody throws me a bone.

Umm updates. The two wigs haven't arrived, but should be any day now since I got an email exactly one week ago saying they'd been shipped. *lacklustercheer* ~ Woooo. One less thing I have to worry over. Also I have decided to be a loafing idiot and just get ikuto's uniform commissioned. YEA-HUH. Take that. I don't make all my costumes, especially the ones that would be simple to craft, but take too much time just for tailoring's sake. I'll do the neccessary trimming and adjusting, but it'll be nice to put my feet up and just give it to the gods this go-around. x3

But to compensate. I shall make Iki's ears move. Yep. Moving ears. Its actually a really simple rig. I'll make a tutorial to show how I did it when I get around to finding the correct shag n' stuffs. Oh and as an update on Cornelius, the ship has not yet left the dock - got the fabric, the stencils drawn out and the underarmor made buuuut I'm hesitant to start until I can haul my ass to the hobby of lobbies and pick up more quilt batting.

Embroidery, have I mentioned I loathe you today? I did? Oh. Good.

Also. Tch, further pouting. I miss my friends and I'm lonely. Why do you people not break your necks to drive hours to come see me? Sheesh. Its like I'm being unreasonable or something. *eyeroll*

Firstly...

Thank you Susan and Daniel for giving me a huge chance to make something beautiful, a real work of art. The only absolute reason I even thought about making you pay is so that I could fund the supplies. If I could make it all for free, believe me I would. I'm so thrilled to have been given this chance and am awestruck by your faith in my abilities. I will not let you down!

And now to updates. Ion is going to be finished and Kadaj will be a tad less polished than I'd originally hoped, but all is going smoothly for now. *fingers crossed* The wig from Amphigory arrived ahead of schedule, which was perfectly fine by me. The front is a tad long, but that's why scissors were invented right?

It also looks like I'll be attending the Time Travelers Ball in May, so....look forward to seeing me there if you are going! Huzzah. This will be my first - VIRGIN ALERT - steampunk type setting that wasn't an anime convention. For the occassion, I'm making my 1st ever steampunk costume. *nail biter*

I'm not going to divulge much here though, because its a surprise!

This weekend I went back to my old apartment to have a mini-reunion with my friend. It was fun, but I just kept thinking about things I had to get done before Momocon, plus tomorrow is my first official day of work. I go from 10 - 6 which is a pretty long shift. Hopefully I'll be able to handle everything. Supposedly, I'm one of the youngest workers. No pressure, right?

Also I got news that a friend of mine tried to kill herself. It was sad, but not depressing - surprising but not unexpected. I mean, I feel awful about the attention she has now. Can you imagine, sitting in a hospital still alive after deciding you just wanted to end it while your family stares into your room pained and people tiptoe around you like you're insane...Poor thing.

I hope there is someone close to her that will hold her and not judge her. She needs to be reminded of what opportunities for happiness has to offer...not made to feel guilty for breaking under extreme circumstances. Being glad she's still alive for me, is selfish. She wanted to end it - to have relief and something stopped her. Now she's back to her repetitive days of despair again. Somebody needs to listen to her, not talk, but listen and take her out to do fun things, comforting things that are simple and yet...beautiful.

I would, but I'm too distanced. I'm going to pray for her though and I ask that anyone who reads this would do the same.

Here's to a hope for happier days.

lol today is looking pretty up.

Up from crashing my car, up from not getting a call about that new job, up from getting sick from an unhealthy addiction to caffeine and refusing to quite...yeah, looking up!

I'm gonna go pick up some stuff for momo-con and get to work. Working with my hands always makes me feel better, just clicking on pandora and getting the shit done. Speaking of shit getting done - Check this out. I'm a huge fan of REPO! The Genetic Opera so I started a literate rpg board for it. *salute to dorkdom*

Come and look at us, if you aren't interested - at least spread the word, hoes. ^-~

AVRIS LOVES YOU - ESPECIALLY YOU, SUSAN. MOMOCON HOORAW.

I haven't finished the shirt yet, but I have it and will do it soon, perhaps I need to find the pants though first to make sure the blue matches between them before I do anything permanent. Can't afford to be wasteful!

I ordered the Alto wig base today! (not even ten minutes ago) I'm already itching for it to come in the mail, so this could be a couple of long weeks of waiting. ^^;

I've been listening to Aural Vampire and watching the tv series Angel. The music is new to me, but I remember watching Angel when I was younger, but I had to sneak to see it since my parents wouldn't allow it since it had darker themes....not that their over protectiveness helped my queer fascination with the occult in any way. Probably made it worse, ohhh well. x3

I'm in the process still of moving out of my apartment and rearranging my room at home to make it more of my space instead of....a suburban prison.

Job applications are going out soon in tidal waves and keep your fingers crossed for me. I really need work fast if I'm going to make it to Momo-con! Ack, stress attack! *flail*

Still dieting. Nothing much happening there and nothing to report except that I need to be working out more. Lazy avris is lazy.

Hope February is going well for all my friends!
