This Journal is 75% Friends Only

My mom was supposed to bring my car up. My grandma was there as an extra driver, even. But they all crammed into one car, and now mine is still elsewhere.
Biggest problem? Well, how the fuck am I getting to otakon now? So I contacted Carla and had to cancel everthing. FML. I finally get to go to a fucking convention and something goes wrong. I don't have enough money for transport. (what about gas money? Well... I didn't have that figured out.) I was gonna just go and not buy anything down there. Live off snack bars or something.
My ticket is non-refundable. I wonder if I could transfer it to someone else. Get my money back. Idk. T_T
I hate the world right now. I am an aggravated con virgin who just had to cancel her equivalent of a craigslist cherry popper date.

KAI, CAN WE HAS THERAPY WEEKEND ON 17-19TH? I AM ALREADY OFF WORK. WE CAN DOWNTOWN. T_T

Or... yanno, I could work.

Ugh.

today's to-do is

1. laundry (getting accomplished! oddly enough)
2. wash bathroom floors
3. vacuum
4. organize desk
5. go through desk boxes
6. work on elly's underskirt

The problem is that it's already 6pm, but my D&D session was cancelled. Up all night, yo.
I AM GOING TO SCRUB THE HELL OUT OF THAT FLOOOOOOORRRRRRR.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.


From emmyette :


Little Gun Girl
I actually hijacked this icon without permission, but it belongs to probertson , who does a bunch of fun pixel people including the neverending zombie.gif :3 I like the contrast of cute and sweet with death and bullets. I haven't asked but I know it's the policy of a lot of contemporary artists in any medium to accept free pimping when they're able. Plus I've seen the baby-eater icon being used continuously without permission, so this little gal shouldn't be a big deal either.


Pale Face
This was inspired by some snark on a wedding snark comm. OMG AN ICON HAS BLOOD IN IT! ON A FINGER! IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART! and so I made this and said "eh, i've seen creepier". Of course, Pale Face (the childeater) is from Pan's Labyrinth.


Do Not Shoot At Yourself
This was made by t3h_janitor_jim  and came out of a pamphlet for an airsoft gun, I believe. It's just ironic, and it's a fun way to say "shutup" or "do you want a shovel for that hole you're digging?". Nobody ever gets it though.


Kitteh Angry
Well, I had no pictures of kittyloaf at the time, and he just looked so pissed off in this one. Plus my bangs were awesome. Look at that. LOOK. Yeah those are some friggin sexy bangs.


Victorian
A generic steal from fluidic_icons  when I wanted to be active in the lifestyle_lolis  comm. I think I'm more of a crafter than a victorian person though, soooooooo. It's been out of use for a while.


i has a doctor
The very first episode of Dr. Who i'd ever seen. The kittens were so cute. I just love cuddly fluff balls. I've seen a girl on the com with better font and something else on the kitty, but this one I believe is from mcity  and is being used with permission.

(i feel bad! I really want to explain them all!)

Aside from that, I guess that makes two songs for the day?






I have no idea why I remembered the Def Tech song after a while.

I won't be online for chat for a while. our server got reconfigured and adium is refusing to accept the port numbers for the chat services.
Soooo I'll be sewing! (shouldn't I be doing that anyway? one would think...)

I'm advertising this for a friend:

I have a room in Linthicum where we can park and take the Light rail directly to the con! It's only about 15 min away max.

We are in a room with 2 double beds and we already have 2 girls. But we can use 2 more for the other bed or 4 more if you don't mind sharing the floor with a friend :)

Crazy drunken party girls/girls who don't like to sleep/girls who will ruin our good time need not apply.

If we get 2 more girls, it will be $77 per person and if we get 4 more girls, it will be $51 per person.

The room is reserved for Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

If you would like to inquire please facebook me :)

Look forward to meeting you!

I will not be staying in this room.
I will be frilling it up withkisei_prophet  and other lolitas.

Yeah... Lolita's Boutique~ Exoticwear ... well... *facepalm*

I got an interview at some italian place, which is cool, but it's in Oakland... and I'm in Crafton, so it means the commute hits the icky traffic on the highway. :/
also, I will be back at 5pm! I am turning the computer off so I can sew. :3
Ok ok, just the monitor.
My aim will still say available, but I need to not get distracted. I am still available for commissions and should have everything done by the 10th of next month or sooner. :3
I also would like to get a name change token. Maybe later.

It's crazy. The computer will be off. OMG how does it storm so hard?

getting my domain set up. It's a problem cause we had to cancel BOTH plans. This means, I was completely dependent on hubby to back up all my blog info and pics because I had no idea this was going on. :/ Lets hope. So the original hosting package that was supposed to expire in Sept.? I guess the site is still up, except he removed all the data. Im so confused. Pics are down for a while then. :/

Would anyone like a commission? I promise to negotiate price with you and work to get the best deal. I would really love to keep this to my friendslist, but if you know someone who needs one that would be awesome too. Dress form arrives in 5 days and will fit measurements up to: 100cm bust, 80cm waist, 102cm hips. Then I shall save up for a larger one.
emmyette , do you still want that striped skirt?
kyandichan , did you still want that blouse?
I need to make monies to pull out of debt.
I have one day left onkai_nimura 's cutsew, so it's all good! (you know, kai, that means we need to meet up.)

It turns out that the birth control purchase put us in debt. by $68.00. It sucks to not have insurance even for a month. (And as it’s been prescribed to me for non preventative reasons, all the more important that I have it.) So that means I’m in high gear to make some extra monies.

Kai, your cutsew progress from last time (and a strange decision of mine to have a pillow model it for you.)

I have two slots for the remainder of this month as far as commissions. I’d really like to offer them to my friends, but I know this particular timeframe isn’t the best for everyone, so I’ll try to be fair with prices. Uh… I guess if you need anything, I’m here! :D AIM:fourtimesfast

I’m off to start the lace for kai’s top. Cat ramblings below the cut.

I need to make 6 skirts to earn enough money for a dress form in the small - medium size (which will be my first size range because... it's convenient for me. I am in the higher measurement range for that dress form.
I guess...

Which should I make first?

And Alice hasn't helped me a damn bit. :/

Yes yes! Disclaimer - things marked “scrap” are both cut in strange shapes and amount to less than 1 meter unless otherwise stated. Some of these fabrics are currently not available to be used for commission. I have personal plans for some and will get around to them eventually. My view on the fabric may also change in a month or so, which is why I am not marking them. You may inquire at your leisure. Some fabrics may be available for purchase via inquiry.

Yay! All the models were announced for the otakon lolita panel!
I didn't make it, but I hope i at least get to help out somehow!

So, I tried out vegetarian. Even bumped it to pescetarian when i felt a bit limited. I felt so much more energetic and thought much more clearly when i did. But of course, I fall back to chicken and bacon consistently. It's a comfort food thing. I feel bad that my will is weak, but at the same time, now I'm married to a meat and potatoes guy. So meat becomes a big thing. He does like salad, so I feel like cutting the portions of meat down won't be so bad. Maybe I'll give it another try later.

Today I made chicken pot pie. It's my first time, but it's really easy the way my mom told me to make it.
I fried and seasoned the chicken last night in olive oil, poultry seasoning, and garlic salt, and then refrigerated it overnight.
Pillsbury pie crusts in a cake pan (its all i have for now!)
1 can each of cream of potato and cream of chicken. frozen veggies and mix.... add to bottom pie crust, then add top, seal edge.
pop in oven at 350F, cook for 40 mins or until edges brown.



The most awesome part is that this house has a window that I can seriously cool pies off in. This will be epic in Oct when I start up the Pumpkin pies. :D

I had to make this for the sole purpose of finding out who did this.
my friend lent me this CD and this song was like... bzuh?
So i asked him what it was and what he thought. has no idea who it is... thinks its making fun of peta only actively fussing about land animals.
honestly? i just loled the whole time. reason? Don't care.

ENJOY YOUR LOLS, MAKE SURE TO CRY A TEAR FOR THE TUNAFISH.

Manga: Tokyo Mew Mew (full set), Maico 2010 v1, Pita-Ten v1, Legal Drug v1, Fairie’ Landing v1, Mars v1-5, Shimaimon v1, Peach Girl (old format) v1-6, Maison Ikokku (old format), Happy Mania v1, Zodiac P.I. v1-2, Ceres Celestial Legend (old format) v1-2.

I would like to ask for $4.00 each book, $6.00 for the old format books, because they’re out of print that way. I would like $7.00 for Shimaimon (at the bottom by Ikaring). Maico 2010 has damage to it and I will sell it for $2.00.

The buyer is responsible for shipping fees and paypal fees.

Oh yes. That is sum Pan's Labyrinth rite thur.

this amuses me because i thought... well that looks like a nose....
OMG WHY IS THERE A PEDO IN HER HAIR!?!?!?
That is all.

EDIT SO MUCH BETTER LOOKING.

'sup?
I know im in some communities that are not good for modding. I've heard two different things about staying in them. Commenting only on things that need a serious drama quelling, but remaining in the comms to see what's causing problem, or to comment only on open entries to quell drama. I am not a member of LFMKII.
So if after reviewing you end up liking whatever's here, shoot me an email and let me know what's up and what needs to be left and I'll work with you or explain reasoning for staying in whatever comm.
Also, if you need a formal application, let me know what information you're looking for and I'll write one up.
I will censor my twitter - fourtimesfast
But I've got nothing to hide. If you need access to my friend's only pages, let me know and i'll friend you. I do rant a bit, but not much about serious things. (like seriously, i ranted about kai_nimura  and we ended up being really good friends afterward)
And I've not deleted anything. If you need to ask me about any specific entry, let me know. I can private lock it or whatever in case I end up being the right person for the job.
Also, this post will dissappear after your judgement.
Good luck. :D
Enjoy your spring! It's getting all nice and pretty out.

yeah. anyone who wants a knitting fiction book! Get on over there!
