Entry 038 - Holiday Break rules

Hi, I'm on holiday break. This means that I will not be having a ton of important thing to say. (Well, technically, I never do but I mean that nothing big or exciting will be happening to me.) So, I won't be posting everyday like I tend to. When something does happen, I'll post. So, if you don't want to bother with checking the site everyday, you can subscribe to this blog by going all the way to the bottom and pressing the button. Or, if you have nothing better to do, feel free to check everyday. *shrugs* I really can't make that decision for you.

Things I would like to complete this break:
- Mom's robe
- Re-stuffing Mr. Floppy
- Wash my sheets (don't ask)
- Clean my room
- Catch up on my accounts
- Finish my afghan (it's a blanket!!!)
- Finish either Final Fantasy or .hack//Outbreak (which I have been calling Mutation. Sorry! ^^; )
- Pass speech class
- Find and marry to a rich guy so I don't have to work anymore (j/k though I am not above marrying for money)

Entry 037 - waiting and waiting

Waiting for Mom to come home. She's been working 12+ hour days at the club and getting home really late. Dad and I don't know when she's coming home. She also has to go into work at 7 am tomorrow.

Cleaned up my room a bit today. Talked to Paul forever. That was fun. Did a little research for Colored Girls. (Link added because I felt weird just typing "Colored Girls" without further explanation. Sorry for not having it earlier. And I'm too lazy to type out the full title.)

Played .hack// yesterday. Completed the secret SIGN event. Found an area that looked like the Northern Lights outside the dungeon (Lambda server, Greedy Gambler's Drift).

Entry 034 - I have a banana but I don't want to eat that...

Sorry about not posting yesterday; I forgot. ^^; Tee hee hee...

I saw the best homeless sign last Friday. This guy had a sign that read, "Why lie? Need beer." It was the most honest and convincing sign I've seen. If I hadn't been driving, I would have given him money. So much better than Christmas Carol guy or I'm Using My Sign to Push People into Traffic guy.

Finished my dress for pattern making and draping. I'm very pleased with it. (That's it above.) There are a few alterations that need to occur but for a dress made in three days, it's cool! Thanks, Cailin, for the help on the invisible zipper!!! XD *hug* Though, I do think it looks like the school uniform from Revolutionary Girl Utena. I'm a geek. ^^;

Well, off to video game now.

Entry 033 - Drawing in the cold sucks

Got my patterns done and almost done with cutting the fabric for my final project in pattern making and draping. I'm going to have to scrap the idea of the patchworked skirt for now. It's taking too long to make the fabric from scraps. I've only now worked out the kinks. o.O I'll just use the idea on a later date. I'm going cut the skirt and go to bed.

Amber T. and I went to the mall to sketch renderings for Colored Girls. Her quick sketching style is so cool! I want to get as good as her in quick sketching. *jealous* We came up with the designs and roughly decided who gets which dress. We still need to see the cast before any final decisions are made. Amber doesn't want anyone's skin tone or body type to clash with the dress color or style.

Entry 032: Back from Limbo version

Hi, everyone. I'm finally back in business. Project week is over. I just have to finish my dress for Pattern Making and Draping, make renderings for Colored Girls, do portfolio review, and then my costume history final. Yay!!!

Gahh!!! Let's just say that I really want to save my money to get a navigational system for my car. Right now, I use DadDad. While it is a useful device, I don't like having to use it at night because it's late. Blah...

Went to Karl's party. It was fun. I was able to relax a bit and forget how much money I've spent in the past week on projects and scholarship applications. Grrr... I want to take How to Make a Final Project Look Good for Under $20. That would be a useful class. I don't like spending $50 on pictures that are only looked at for 5 minutes. And with Christmas coming up, it doesn't help.

I hate Christmas. I bought an expensive present for someone and now I'll feel bad if I don't spend the same amount for everyone else. It's like, "******* got a cool present and I got was a wad of thread." Even though a wad of thread is about what one of my relations deserves. He buys me expensive presents but when he visits, can't even have a conversation with me. How does one shop for someone like that? I tried to cut back on my personal expenses to save money but I seem to have only one expense that is not bills or school related: lunch. I would save money if I could just bring food from home this week but a) I forgot, b) hands too full to carry lunch box, or c) lackage of leftovers. I mean, if I just didn't eat lunch, that would save so much money. However, if I did that, then the demon head that lives in my throat and attacks people when I'm stressed would pop out and randomly bit people's arms off. And that would be bad...

PS The little demon head is like the queen mini-head from Aliens but looks like a demonic Derin. It likes randomly biting people, snapping at things that are irritating, and soap operas.
