When All is in Shadow, I Will Be Your Light

HAY GUIZE!!

Justin and I signed a lease for an apartment today!!

Crazy drama here was just getting to be too much and since I've saved a little over 1k, we can afford all the up front payments and my current job will be enough to pay rent, so, we got it!
($588 for a 2 bed 1.5 bath, washer and dryer INCLUDED, and cable paid! Like whoa!)

Justin's friend works at UPS so is talking to the bosslady Monday to see about getting Justin a job there, hopefully that works out and we'll be set!

HALLELUJAH!

So, that's cool. Still gotta tell the parents tomorrow (not fun) but right now its just really awkward here with them not allowing us to do anything but use the restroom (no food, no using the washer/dryer, stupid stuff like that) so we HAD to get out! And its a good deal so Im cool with that.

We can't move in till Monday at 4 (lame) and pretty sure we have to do it in one fell swoop to minimize awkwardness here (I anticipate lots of yelling) so thats going to be interesting.
Wish us luck!! :)

Dudes! Justin and I just finished playing Shadow of the Colossus. Holy crap!!!

Also, we really want to play ICO now. But the cheapest we can find it is used, and $40, going up to new copies for $400!!!

Soooo anyone have this game we can buy/borrow? We are just SUPER intrigued by this series and omg need to see more!!!!

Thanks :D

Yes....yes that is a thermal image of a fart.

XD

Jim. Jim Jim Jim Jim JIM!!!

(This may be a side effect of 3 hours of the Office on tonight. Weeeeeeeeee XD)

Argh I found a site that sells a White Mage Yuna for $90, free shipping, but it takes them 7 days to make and 3-5 to ship, so too late for me! It was $130 last time I checked so I didnt get it a week ago, but ARGH XD

I WILL HAVE A FFX-2 WHITE MAGE COSTUME eventually AAAAAH XD 

Yoooooo!

I'm featured on a Rainbow Brite site for my Brite costume! So, thats cool XD

www.rainbowbrite.co.uk/

Too bad I lost most of my pictures from Wizard World when I first wore it ;______; I miss those!

So we did half of the jogging trail tonight, twice, cause there was a softball game going on.

And I didn't stop! :D :D

Hooray yay me XD

Also, we saw 2 kitties!! One was a "teen" kitty that looked JUST like our orange/white Bennikins, we almost got him to let us pet him! He'd get close enough to touch and then scamper away. Sooooo cute! And then a dark grey/black tabby came over and talked to us and let us pet him, and then orange kitty ran over and play-fought with him so then they both ran off, aw XD

Work is insane, I just got to a point today where I think I can finally manage the metric ASSLOAD of papers I have to deal with, and then someone comes and dumps another 7-inch tall stack in the inbox right before the end of the day. RAWR! Maybe by Friday things will be smoother. Its hard being the only person in charge of the files when theres like a 3-week backlog from the last person, dfhgiudbrig.

Hopefully my Rikku costume ships tomorrow! WANT!

So I forgot what prompted me to do this, but I've just been on youtube watching various AMV Hell videos....completely been laughing my ass off....Justin probably thinks I'm crazy, but holy crap omg I miss watching these in the huge con rooms at Acen!


Also, Tainted Donuts. He's too busy gaming to watch it with me now (even though I told him how EPIC IT IS) but hopefully I shall remember and we'll watch it tomorrow. Such good stuff :D )

I am DYING for a White Mage Rikku costume!!!! ARRRGGGG

I obviously don't have the time to make one (sadface) or make anything for that matter, before Halloween, and gosh dangit I want to wear something other than my awesome Rainbow Brite!

I've been searching amazon for "womens costumes" but theyre all kinda skanky or generic, so now Im trolling the cosplay.com marketplace to see if anything there is A) Cute B) In my price range ($60ish) and C) Will fit (aka not for twiggy asian girls).

But I have been dying for a White Mage Rikku for awhile now, and seeing as it is a little brisk here around Halloween (not cold, but I'd like something that I dont have to be indoors and wind-free to be comfortable in) that costume would be PERFECT!!!!

I found someone selling a Paine one....but....want Rikku's style ;____________;

Or Yuna's, definitely. Hers is a bit shorter but still SUPER CUTE OMG

So....anyone know anyone? I'd be perfectly happy renting, even! ITS JUST SO DARN CUTE and I need something to wear for half an hour of walking outside XD

Shoe Shopping: SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!

I spent 4 1/2 hours going around to all sorts of stores around town, and eventually came back with 2 pairs of low-heeled (cute mary jane-y low-heeled) brown shoes and a new super cute officey shirt. I found like 3 shirts I loved at JCP, but limited myself to one, figuring once I get a hold on my new job I can always go back for more!
Oh, and I never buy anything not on sale: The shoes were $9 and $17, and the shirt was $20, I had a $10 off coupon. YEAAH!

So excited. My shoes are all so CUTE! How the crap am I supposed to pick out a first day outfit?! AAH! XD

Oh hey! I keep forgetting this:

Last week I stopped by the Goodwill to see what was up, and in their DVD section, found this:



Yes, that is a good chunk of Dr. Who DVDs! $3 each! I was going to buy them but Im not a big Dr Who fan (only cause I haven't seen it, not cause I think it sucks or anything, Im just not exposed XD)

I'm going back tomorrow, does anyone want any of these, if they're still there? I'll gladly buy them for you and send em off if you want :)

Thank you to everyone wishing me luck on that job, cause

I GOT IT!!! :D

Woooooooooooooooooo!!!!! M-F, 8-2, pays more than the hotel and more hours and not outside!!!

I gotta go shoppin now for office clothes. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY XD

I love the feeling of a really cold day outside, but you're inside on the couch in a nice ray of sun and the whole place is warm and cozy but you know its very crisp outside.

I love that feeling :D

/random.

Dolphin tour tomorrow! Er, today if you wanna get specific. And as such, happy birthday to me, yay :)

Duuuude, I decided I really wanted to go on a sunset cruise for my birthday next Sunday....

and no one offers their cruises on SUNDAYS!!!

bhdgksdih;fkjgbdf

Not my fault it falls on a Sunday this year ;_; We can always just ask for the Monday after off and celebrate it then, but....its just not the same yknow?

POOPERS. >.x

Since I can't seem to catch you on AIM today, here's a

HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

to organic_alexielaka Beffers :D Happy Birthdaydoodlekins!!!! :D

So I swear someone on my friends list was in the market for a kiln....I can't find the entry anywhere but today I hop on craigslist for Savannah and someone's selling a small kiln! So...never know what you're gonna find XD

(Also, I REALLY want a nice dressform [yknow, that you can pin INTO] and the day I went searching for one I found an ad on craigslist selling one for $40 and needing it gone 2 days ago. AAARRRGGHHH)

Also, more advice needed! Since I suck at pricing things.

This lady wants me to sew some kids clothing for her, from patterns. Size 2-4, A line tops(dress) pants with flair bottoms. She'll provide all the fabric, notions, etc, I provide the sewing.

What should I charge? Per piece? Per hour (how many hours? They wont take me too too long I dont think...)?

I dont want to overcharge, but I always sell myself short.

What do you think?? <3

So I can get hair dye remover and re-dye my hair light blonde, or I can just get a pack of dark brown and be a brunette (like Ive wanted to be since I was Charlotte in...like..2003? XD)

....and then when I tire of that, remove it and re-dye it blonde.

I can't decide!!! XD

Omggggg, I need a dressform SO BAD. Like a real one that I can pin in and everything. The one I used at USC was super really close to my measurements too! I just need something to drape on so I can design things. Yes, I have the draping bug and I want to make neat things SO BAD!!!! :(
