Pretty Lucky Day [Jun. 18th, 2009|07:30 am]
So yesterday when things got super slow at work, we all actually sat around and talked with each other a spell. It's really odd because I almost never socialize with my co-workers but the other 3 were all gathered around and I was the only one by myself so I joined in. At some point I wrote a bunch more on some more paper quarters. I think I'm actually done with that whole section of story I wrote now too.. Just need to get it typed up and thrown out there somewhere becuase I can. [info]kitsunari tells me I ought to start posting some of my fic over on dA, but I dunno.

I really want to do more artwork lately but can't seem to let myself have the time...

Anyways though last night I was gonna work on a doll head, but Sam got some $100 gift credit card thing for something he'd filled out a little while back, so it's more like he kinda won it and he's all. Hey guys I got $100! I'm thinking dinner + bookstore ^_^
We ate good chinese and then we went to half price books and I found japanese Miyuki Chan in Wonderland manga, it is super awesome and has some really great miyuki-chan color artworks and stuff in it. Cost $8, originally published in 1995 and sold for 900yen. I know I wanted to buy it most to look through it and then decide if it was keep or sell but I think L has decided it's a keeper becuase we both really enjoy it and it's pretty clamp! Then since L didn't find anything at half price we went to B&N to see if we could find the new/last vol of Ral Grad that had come out where we did.... and then I found something too... They've released all of clover in one oversized book with full color cover arts and extra art so now I can finally read it all! The book is $20, but we had some crazy on crack cashier who rung up $7.95 Ral Grad twice and so Sam bought my $20 manga for $8.... it was sweet! We didn't realize till we'd gotten home and looked at the receipt or we'd have been honest. Then we went to a gaming place because Sam was looking for a roleplay book and then Logan picked up a neat looking card game. All in all it's somewhere they'd been before so to me it was a neat place going for the first time. They have battletech pod gaming and an lan cafe set up in the shop, with some game things for sale and then some areas and I'm looking at it all like, okay guys next time ya'll go game I'm coming and I'm either gonna sit my butt on the net or a game all night or I'm gonna take some doll work or drawing stuff with me and hide at a table in the back.

*yawn* [Jun. 16th, 2009|09:55 pm]
Today... woke up really tired and later than usual.... This morning at work was sooo dead. I have 4 sheets of printer paper quarters (yes I cut pieces of scrap paper into 4s and use it as scratch paper at work) with both sides written on of fic work. At some point I completely conked out and fell asleep for 5min or so.... The afternoon wasn't overly busy but I did end up having to stay 30 min late to get a box scanned that had to go out today....

Got home then had to run evening errands. Got a doll order that I've sorted out but will invoice people for shipping and stuff tomorrow... okay I for sure do NOT need to run more than one group order at once....

Right now I'm just sort of chilling but need to get up and take a shower soon. I already feel like I could go straight to bed though. I don't know why I've been so tired today, I haven't really lost any large amount of sleep lately.

Yah it's been a little while [Jun. 15th, 2009|09:56 pm]
So as of last week I no longer have internet access at work... So that's really why nobody's heard anything out of me. I haven't been up to a whole lot in the last couple of weeks. Work and painting some doll faces.

Went over and helped my parents with a garage sale this past weekend and made a whole $2. I guess that's better than donating it to goodwill which was the original plan ha ha

I ordered some cds and had a rather disappointing experience with cdjapan. I preordered the new versialles singles. You have to buy all 3 LE singles to get the whole video thing which I think is bogus, but hey look who spent their money on them... me. But yah so I preorder from cd japan and then I get a message this morning that they are already out of stock on the 2nd and 3rd one and have partially refunded me. Well becuase the payment was so soon, I'm having to wait to actually get the fundage back in my paypal...-_- so that's annoying, but what is more annoying is that they still have the preorder buttons up. I managed to get the other 2 through yesasia, but I would have rather them just cancelled my whole order so I could have just bought them all from the same place so they all arrive at the same time... but yah....

Today work seemed long, but I got out early... but then traffic was crap and there was this 18wheeler blocking the road I take so I sat backed up in traffic for half an hour before being able to take a detour. That sucked. But since L sort of had a sucky day too we went out for Japanese... it's a rare occasion we go out to eat on a Monday, but it was nice. I had pizza for 3 meals staright this past weekend and was about to have some more tonight. I'm getting tired but it doesn't really seem like it is as late as it is...

I think that's all for now. Now that I'm online at the home computer only again I will try my best to keep updated. I know I like to read about what is going on with everyone and I like to keep people up to date on what's going on with me. I know I don't see or talk to everyone on my flist like we all used to, but we're all in different places it seems so LJ feels like my only connection sometimes.... though so many of my friends seem to be on facebook now. I still don't want to get one... I think the only thing that really annoys me about facebook is the apps though... I just don't mess with that kind of stuff, but my husband and most of my friends on there seems sometimes like that's the reason their even on there at all.

Oh and before I run away becuase I didn't get a chance to post it yesterday... Here's wishing a happy belated bday to [info]kerikochan. The offer I made for you for your present still stands unless you want something else instead. Just lemme know. And sorry I didn't manage to call you yesterday... by the time I remembered it was really late and this weekend just ended up being really busy for me. When I get busy I get even more forgetfull than normal.

Yesterday... [Jun. 4th, 2009|09:34 am]
Yesterday at work was really quite blah... I ended up having to help out another room prep some papers because I didn't have anything to do. Today I finished all that I had to do within 20min. It's the first of the month so this is normal. We just don't get in as much during the beginning of the month.

So after going home last night my plans were to sew, but that didn't happen at all. I looked at it and just went "ugh". I know I need to finish up that skirt so that I can get the curtains done with and then get on with my doll comissions. I did finally get ahold of someone I'm painting a doll head for that had been out of town for the last two weeks, so I did a couple more things to her head before going to bed.

Other than that I read up on some of the ALSDEAD blogs and they were all thanking the US fans and the akon staff and stuff. And Setsua the drummer posted a pic in his blog of the bracelet that [info]phi_san and her friend made for him. They were all squee last night after seeing that. I'm still waiting to see what the bassist Reito writes as his next blog entry. He's the only one who hasn't posted since returning to Japan. I still regret so bad not making them anything

However my next band/con venture is going to be Do As Infinity at AFEST! OMG I was so excited when [info]aoi_kataomoi totally dropped the news to me. While they're not hard rock and VK DAI is one of my old favorite bands from when I first got into japanese music. They actually disbanded back in 2005 and since I don't keep up too much on the jpop/alt rock circuit much anymore I had no idea they reformed last Sept. But this is truely exciting to me and I will sit in as long a line as I have to to get to see them live. And it's also actually a band that both me and [info]fullmetalsqishy can enjoy together. He's not big into the VK stuff so sometimes I'm sort of lonely in my fandom but he really likes DAI (i think it has to do with them having a female singer lol).

Next con for me is Anime Overload 4th of July weekend. I am determined to complete that skirt that didn't get done for akon.... make my Raidou Kuzunoha cosplay and I have to paint two doll heads for commision upon sale. I really hope they turn out well and that they sell becuase their faces will be super sexy hotter than the defaults the company gives.

Okay that's all for now... I'm probably gonna be a little bored today so if you see me online on aim, im me and keep me entertained!

Because this is made of WIN! [Jun. 3rd, 2009|06:42 pm]
So Miyavi has a video posted on myspace of some of the highlights from his concert here at Anime Matsuri Easter weekend....

I found out you can apparently screencap youtube videos...And this is just too sweet to be able to say OMFG LOOK AT ME!!!!

It's pixilated as hell, but that would be me and [info]kerikochan... Now I think everyone totally gets the joke about her being the "White Beacon of Gaijin"....

Aches and Pains... oh noes i'm old... [Jun. 2nd, 2009|11:27 am]
My feet hurt. Not just a simple ache, they hurt and the pain goes all the way from the bottoms of my feet, around the back of my heel, up my legs and to my knees. Sitting down and getting up is just achey and I'm totally not digging it.

Thursday when I arrived at the hotel for A-kon my feet hurt. I'd been up on them for the better part of 3 days at work at the scanner and just after a while it starts to kinda ache, and since I was on my feet most of the weekend I suppose that's why the pain is worse now.... it sucks...

In other news really there is nothing. Last night I did chores, ate dinner, and ran errands. Oh I did restring a doll, that was the only other thing. But yah it was a pretty uneventful evening... though I totally gained weight from eating so much of L's awesome loaded mashed potatoes...soooo good, wish I could have some more tonight but yah...

Right now I'm at work, still a little tired. I had oatmeal for breakfast this morning and that was yummy. That is all for now...

A-kon [Jun. 1st, 2009|11:09 am]
I had a ton of fun this year at A-kon. My confidence in them as a convention has been renewed I think. I did not get yelled at or mistreated by a single volunteer at all this year and everything actually happened on time. I was working in the dealers room with my friend so I missed a lot of the con that I usually enjoy but I did get to go see ALSDEAD in concert and get my autograph and see their q&a. I got to meet [info]phi_san's friend Justi (that was her name right?). She's pretty cool and sometime I'm going to get her to do some art of my dolls becuase she's got mad ark skillz. I did feel a little like a 3rd wheel though through the concert, autograph line, and q&a though. I felt like I had my only other fangirling friend taken away by another of her fangirling friends I guess, so I think I may have come off a bit aggitated and angry but I think it was just that I was a little depressed becuase I felt unneeded or something. All in all the time I got to spend with the two was fun. I also had the great pleasure to hang out with Miku (who is made of awesome). We used to work S-T together and we both are doll owners and it was just a great time to finally get to sit there and chat with her a while and also at the concert to head bang with her too.

I didn't buy a lot this year. I supported ALSDEAD by buying cds, a photoset, and the t-shirt made especially for the con. I really want to see them go far, they are a really good band and had a really energetic stager performance. I also got a new cell phone strap. It's from Moyashimon and has a little mold microbe on it. And I sold some doll clothes and ended up buying a doll head. That was my purchasing

I amazed myself that I was actually able to come up with a good question for the band and that the question was well translated and got a very good answer. I asked them what their first reaction was when they were asked to come play in the US. The vocalist Maki's reaction: WOW
Then the guitarist, Shin explained that they were really very nervous about the experience.
I think everyone in the room was shocked and excited to find out though that when someone asked how the crowd at the concert compared to their typical japanese fans at their concerts there was that we were much more energetic and exciting.
I really hope they will find a way to come back again to play here in the US, they all seemed very happy that everyone had been so friendly to them.
I was a little sad sunday though, my friend called me from the bar and told me they were there like less than an hour before dealers room close and as much trouble as it would have been to get there I didn't want to abandon post, but she was able to get a picture of them for me which I have yet to see, but am VERY EXCITED about. I think that was the ONLY moment in the whole con I wished I weren't working dealers room.

But yah con was awesome, awesome people, there was some pretty damn good cosplay from what I got to see, but I just wish I could have seen a little more, but I had so much fun working the weekend with my friends that I wouldn't trade it for probably have been being bored and mostly people watching.

Sadness.... [May. 28th, 2009|06:48 am]
Well no lolita for me at a-kon. I tried hard and I sewed till I couldn't see straight last night but didn't get my skirt done for the punk loli ensemble I was looking so forward to wearing. It still needs the last tier attatched, bottom edge hemmed and the waist band sewn and elastic put into it. T_T I was looking really forward to this ensemble so now mel is a sad monkey. So I guess I will finish it after the convention and demand my local lolis get together sometime to give me a chance to get to wear it.

So now this means no dressing up at all at Akon unless I decide on an old cosplay to bring back out. Problem is I don't know who. Since I'm working dealers room despite that I want to wear Hizaki again, that dress is just too huge to be practical. Siva's been disbanded for a few months now and the costume is roughly 4 years old anyway and still doesn't have the zippers in the sleeves so i still don't want to wear it to compete for jpop room cosplay so there's no point in it going. Uruhara is still in the closet but he's retired.... I have Remmington (Chrno Crusade) still in tact and would really consider taking and wearing it if I had a short blond wig for him but I don't and my hair is far too long right now to fake a long boy cut hair style.....I'm sick of cosplaying bleach and right now my shinigami top is being borrowed anyway so no random bleach character. Mrrrr... I just wish I had a top to go with my other loli skirt that I owned and I'd wear that for at least a day.... blah. Where has my determination and pride as a cosplayer gone? Dolls and dramatic friends totally helped me fall out of this hobby in a bad way...

A-kon Schedule [May. 25th, 2009|09:50 am]
So I finally took a look at the A-kon schedule... My plans:
Friday:
I'm interested in the International Cosplay panel with Yaya Han. She has always been a big idol of inspiration to me in the cosplay world so I'd finally like to see her/meet her in person.
The timing MIGHT conflict with jpop room cosplay which I at least want to go see since I won't be participating... though I have debated taking Kairi (Siva) even though they're kinda disbanded, but it's the one jrock cosplay I never competed in at akon before, and they're always in need of participants, but the way the schedule is set up for it, I'm not sure what time it starts considering last year it started a whole hour after the start of it said it did

And of course I'm going to the concert friday night. Luckily if it's anything near like last year the dealers room will probably have either closed or be nearly closed by the time they LET people line up. I'm just staying for the first act ALSDEAD becuase I just don't particularly care for Camino. I do however want to try to get my ALSDEAD autograph after the show Friday night though so there's first nights dibs on their merch table and all.

Saturday:
ALSDEAD Q&A is all I'm interested in at all so you will most likely find me in the dealers room most of the day, though I might try and skip out to a doll meet

Sunday: It's all about the dolls. I want to go to the doll panel/meetup. Not sure 100% how it will work out since everyone at the table is doll people, but more than likely either 1 or 2 of us will get to go to the panel, but I think I'm the one that wants/needs to go most. If I don't get my doll stuff sold before Sunday in the dealers room, the panel is kinda like my last ditch chance to try and sell them.

So that is pretty much my akon.... revolving around a band like usual, just not the one I originally planned for, but hey I'm really excited to see them. I've followed a little bit of their previous bands works and they're at their best together with this sound so I'm really looking forward to it.

semi-resolved... [May. 24th, 2009|03:39 pm]
Issue with housemate semi-resolved... I have done no talking, but apparently while out at the movies there was talking and discussion and the what not. I did hear what I thought I'd heard which is the total opposite of my friend and I don't know what my friend did to offend him or show disrespect to him as he won't tell us what it was. Though apparently something else also got mentioned about some of the people that were at my party late not helping clean up but honestly, the way I have grown up if you are having a party, you clean up before the party, you have the party, and you clean up after the party. While help is always appreciated it's never to be expected of your guests. That's just a proper hostess sort of thing in which my mother practiced, and she quite literally is a good hostess. Too bad she could have never made as much money hosting parties and functions as she did being a teacher.

Though I am still a little irked becuase apparently Logan fought to get him to allow me to invite my friend over, but ya know I've been online ranting, my friends read my LJ and stuff and I feel like it'd be awefully awkward for me to ask the person over now becuase if it were me my only conclusion would be that I was the one that was told couldn't come over, and it would make me feel very awkward.

Fun with girls [May. 24th, 2009|08:22 am]
So the last two days the boys have been out of the house to do this or that together and I didn't care to go, but never fear I was not lonely or anything of that sort. I was hanging out with my much beloved female companions and I had quite the fun time. Even when hanging out with my female friends with the husband around it's not the same as when we're alone. It's more fun, you don't have to worry too much about what you say without a guy close buy to be all "ew! girl talk".

Friday night depsite that I was working packing up some group orders I did for the doll community I had a blas with [info]reddeath1888. I had to go get some supplies so we went to the container store and becuase I then remembered I was supposed to drop by the mall to see if they were still had a belt like the one I bought last weekend for [info]phi_san for her LM.C cosplay (we're only abandoning them for A-kon, not for good). They did so I bought it and then we walked around the mall and looked at a couple of the cute clothing stores and stuff and it was just really fun. Also while there I bought a copy of the Devil Summoner 2 in the amazon only preorder pack with the Raihou plushie! It was at CGX, it was only $40... $5 markup for something you can't get anymore, total steal! And now I has my Raihou! It was just a fun outting and then hanging out while packing packages and while I was busy sorting out payments and order stuff she worked on some of her crochet stuff and really the evening was just so much fun and I'm really happy I didn't have to spend it alone.

Yesterday the guys went out for a little while, but I had already scheduled for a friend to come over so it was unplanned that I'd get to hang out alone. But [info]eristell_neko came over becuase while rummaging through old bins of stuff I was throwing away, donating, and some stuff I was keeping, I'd found my old bag of my little ponies. She mentioned to me earlier in the week about how she'd just found some for a steal on ebay and then I remembered her mentioning before that she'd collected them, so instead of giving them to my niece that MIGHT play with them or not, I'd rather they go to someone to enjoy them so she had come to get them. I haven't seen someone get that excited in a long time. I apparently had some good stuff, while pretty well played with in pretty good condition considering age and play. She's gonna clean them up and fix a few little spots and stuff. And then I found out there's apparently a pretty damn large My Little Pony community that collects, restores, customizes, etc..... I was like ^O^! Either way we totally ended up hanging out longer than expected but I didn't mind at all. L invited her to stay for dinner and just the whole night was a really fun time. I totally didn't realize that we hadn't really seen each other and hung out in around a year. Last year at Akon I think. So it was a lot of fun for catchup time too.

Today I have plans. The boys are going out in a few hours to go see the new Terminator movie, but as it's just not my thing and I have things I want to do I'm opting out. Today I need to vacuum the floors, I want to complete one of my faceup comissions, I also need/want to jump out to the fabric store and get my fabric for the loli-inspired punk ensemble skirt I need to make because I need to make it like.... today (finishing up tomorrow). It'll take around 6 hours I think... Took 4 hours to make the last skirt like that which the trim was just sewn on the edge of the tiers.... where as this one is gonna be tiered with the ruffle sewn on top of the seam. I wonder if mum has time to show me how to use the ruffler today (if she can find it -_-;). I really hope she's tried to allocate it as I told her about wanting to make the skirt last week and she was all "OH you'll definitly need the ruffler, it'll save you a couple hours with all that gathering.
Now to decide if I want to sew on the ruffle before sewing up the back seam so that everything would come to a close and finish in the back or to do it the harder way that might look just a tiny bit better for anyone that sees me from behind and sew it on after the back seam is sewn up... hrm... Um, the only one I can think to ask for opinion on this is [info]kerikochan? If you don't get online and comment back before I do the task I'll totally call you...

Okay that's all the babblign I do now....

so/so [May. 21st, 2009|11:30 am]
Yesterday I ended up staying at work an extra hour... That was lovely (ha ha). It was too much work for what little extra money it was but I guess I'll take what I can get.

I did some doll work for a local last night and made $9! W00t doll monies!

Last night I ended up staying up late again... An order came in that I was trying to get sorted out and then Sam turned on AN and Bento Beat Box was airing and I was all squee cause I'd wanted to see it last week when it aired and I missed it. Xion isn't a bad host, but the camera man is shit. I must be really behind on my PVs though cause I saw some stuff I hadn't watched before. Reguardless it's awesome to see Jrock PVs on your big screen unpixilated.

Anyways though I'm all babbly... Today I'm not too tired, but have a mild headache and earlier my stomach was really bothering me. It's not too bad anymore which is good.... Though I'm sitting here at work fearing the afternoon shipment will look like yesterdays and if it does *sigh* -_-;

Blah... [May. 20th, 2009|12:07 pm]
Man I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I keep being so tired all the time. Okay admitedly I've been staying up like an hour later most nights than I had been, but normally just an hour even after a few days doesn't do a lot to me.

I was talking with [info]kitsunari last night and the potential Vegas trip is looking rather dismal from my end. I really wanna go and if I could do it for $300-350 (covering getting there and back, 2 nights in a hotel, and food) I'd still totatlly love to but it's looking like to make it happen I'd need to have closer to $500 and I'm just not sure I can do it. If I could take one more day off work we could road trip it and probably come in right around my budget but I just can't take the time off. I was lucky to be able to get the two days which I'm feeling like I won't even need anymore, because I'm pretty sure I can't go now. Or rather if I do go, I think I'd regret spending so much money becuase of other things I'd rather be spending it on. -_-; I don't know, I'm still on a mission trying to find a way for it to work out so we'll see what happens....

Um that's really all with me for right now....I'm tired, chilling till lunch due to lack of work to do... yah that's my day thus far

Crummy Tuesday.... [May. 19th, 2009|01:51 pm]
I woke up this morning, rolled back over, and slept for another 10 minutes. When I went out to my car, I realized I'd forgotten my bottle of water so I chuncked my lunch inside and as I was pulling my head back out of the car thwacked it hard.... it hurt. I went back inside and got my bottle of water and came back to the car and right after I started it I remembered I was supposed to bum [info]fullmetalsqishy for a fill up last night. But figured it was too late now, I didn't have the money but I had enough gas to go to and from work on.

Got to work. Realized I left both my phone and wallet at home... -_- Great... So now I've been here at work all morning paranoid about if I have enough gas or not and what I'm gonna do if I get pulled over or stalled out on the side of the road on the way home today with no money, no license, and no way to contact anybody....

That and earlier lifting a box my shoulder started hurting and my elbow started hurting worse. The elbow has hurt since yesterday and is still hurting... I'm not sure if it's good that it's the opposite shoulder that is hurting or not.... -_-;

Yah I know it's Tuesday but it feels like I got a bad case of the mondays....

Another good weekend [May. 18th, 2009|03:07 pm]
I had another good weekend this weekend but it totally didn't feel long enough. Saturday I went out with the doll group to the Chocolate Angel tearoom. I really enjoyed it, thought the food was yummy, though [info]fullmetalsqishy was all complantative about it being sub par for the venue and pricing. Oh well I'll still go back with friends even if he doesn't want to... After doing that we went to visit [info]bakayaro_onna's mom in the rehab hospital. She felt and hurt herself a little while back and it was good to see she was doing well. And then after leaving all the dolly people we went to the mall, two actually becuase we had to go to a second one to find L some shoes. I finally in person found a copy of Junjou Romantica 2 (yes I know I could have ordered it or something by now, but when I'm in the mood to buy manga, especially yaoi I want it then and there), and I picked up one of the june manga novels... Desire... which was quite good and after reading the afterword found out that there's actually a manga of the story as well. I totally wanna check it out whether it's been licensed or not.

Sunday was good but blah. I got a small chunk of doll work done, not as much as I wanted to though. I woke up later than normal (OMG I SLEPT IN TILL AFTER 10am!) and then I went grocery shopping with the men and during that trip got kinda blah-ed out. Though I think it was the windows being down on the way back home. If people ever wonder why I don't roll my windows down when they ride with me, it's becuase there is something off in my ears and the pressure from a window being open on the opposite side of a car, and even sometimes the one for the seat I'm sitting in causes a massive pressure imbalance in my ears causing me to have severe headaches and mild dizziness.
Layed down after shopping for a little bit then went to my parents to eat dinner. Dad's steak and gravy is still delicious as always and I talked to mom about the skirt I wanan make for my punk loli outfit for akon and she checked to see if she had any fabric I could used but sadly didn't, so I'm on my own there.... the rest of the night seems like kind of a blur to me right now. I think I just ended up interneting then going to bed....

Oh well I think that about covers everything, though it better for now becuase my break is over and I gotta run!

blah [May. 14th, 2009|08:07 pm]
Feelin' a little blah right now becuase I totally ate too much. Work was annoying today. Not too much work, but the supervisor wanted me to sit with another coworker to learn how to do what they do and then one of them will start coming to sit with me sometime soon so that more people know how to do tasks for when people are out. I'm taking off the last Monday and Tuesday in July and my supervisor is off all that week, and since she's the only one that knows how to do what I do that could be problematic. Also one of my coworkers pissed off another enough that they just left for the rest of the day. Though I can't say I blame her. While she may have unintentionally instegated the issue that was had, he totally should have just let it roll. I mean it sounded like a children's fight between someone 60 and 30.

Came home, have not felt the urge to work on a doll after reading what the owner wants done differently, which is something I'm pretty sure I'm gonna screw up. I had tuna roll for dinner and totally ate too much as I mentioned before.

How will I spend the rest of my evening? Hrmmm... probably spamming more photos and fic over at [info]mmc_ningyouai... That's the game plan anyway.

Maybe loli [May. 13th, 2009|10:26 pm]
Well since [info]phi_san is out for our origianlly planned LM.C cosplay and they aren't coming I've sort of had no inspiration whatsoever to finish mine... So I'm thinking about taking the money I was planning to spend and [info]kerikochan may have talked me into putting together a punk lolita ensemble.... I think for under $30 I can make a awesome skirt of coolness partially inspired by a brand doll skirt, wear one of my black/red h.naoto tops or if my Ma Maxicimam Chainsaw Girl shirt is in by then maybe that. I'm shooting for causal punk loli I believe. Not sure yet what color wig I'm wearing and K says I might can borrow something cute for my head from her... I figure tights or socks, with my black mary janes and I should be made of cute. Still I need more lolita in the wardrobe so it'll be cool if I get it done and it's not really cosplay but I wear it like it is lol.

A tad personal, but this has pretty much pissed me off [May. 13th, 2009|08:18 pm]
I'm a little hacked off and may never be able to have people over of the female persuasion again becuase of this....

Best party ever this weekend... plumbing gets backed up and floods my house yesterday while I'm at work.... A plumber and $250 later, someone at the party flushed a pad down the toilet. Needless to say I'm pretty aggitated, and the men at my house are even more aggitated, especially the man that paid the bill. This either = no more parties, or the toilets get locked if we have them. We were lucky nothing got terribly damaged but I was rather disgruntled last night not to be able to take a shower as well... THANK YOU IDIOT WHOEVER YOU ARE!

*If I find out who it is by posting things the way I do, If you know who you are, I'm not gonna be angry at you if you confess you did it, we are not going to bill you or anything, you are forgiven, BUT NEVER FLUSH A PAD DOWN A TOILET!

One thing after another [May. 12th, 2009|10:23 pm]
On the way home I got a phone call. It was telling me to go to the store and pick up a cheap mop, some drain declogger, and hot dog buns...

Our plumbing is screwed up and the house partially flooded while we were at work today... Okay I as already really stressed out and then this. It was annoying and we spent the first hour I was home cleaning up. I DID mention that I'd gotten myself kinda upset last night and his short fuse didn't help, which for that he appologized, but we really weren't in a position to talk about it. I just expressed that I'm still having adjustment issues.

I was aggrivated because I thought hot dog buns meant I got a hot dog for dinner, but they were having brautworst (I cant spell it and don't feel like looking it up) and I got a hamburger, only there were no hamburger buns... I had sandwich bread burgers... -_-;

Spent the rest of the evening watching TV. I'm still a little rawr ickiness, but i'm more rawr ug I've got a bunch of crap sitting on my bed that I saved from wet boxes... I'm just happy it didn't make its way into the work room. I've got doll boxes on the floor in there.

That's pretty much been my day, oh though I got my evaluation at work today. I exceed and meet all expectations. My boss had some very nice and flattering things to say about me, and I got to learn how to do one more task in the room. Well that about sums it up. I'm off to bed soon

blah.... [May. 12th, 2009|10:38 am]
I got mildly frustrated and angry last night and just lost it crying while folding up my laundry.... I feel really pitifull about it, or rather just saying it, but I want to explain it for if my husband ever decides he's gonna read this...

In the last year and a half I have moved 3 times. The first 3 times in my life. As soon as it seemed that I got comfortable, I was moving again. I'm just adjusting. My slack attitude and trying to escape off to a room by myself to go interneting or work on doll stuff is how I've been attempting to deal with my adjustment stress. Or at least this is what I have derived. It's why it's frustrating me so much that I'm being jerked around and not allowed to do such without getting a lot of flack about it. Yes I know by doing it I've been ignoring chores and housework that do need to be done, but it's just hard... I honestly never wanted to move this last time. I convinced myself it was for the better becuase yes it would put us in better circumstances, but I never said anything about not wanting to move Logan, and I'm not sure if I regret that or not. I like him to be the man and the husband and make the decisions he sees best for us as a family unit, so I try not to appose.

But he also neglects to realize (or at least it feels like he does) that every time we move I am lost. Just lost I guess is the best way to describe it. I didn't have the childhood where I moved around all the time like he and his family members and even a good chunk of my friends did. I don't know how to cope I guess. I totally think I understand my nephew Ben a lot right now. He spent from about age 3-5 being extrememly grumpy every time I saw him. My brother in law's family have moved every year the child has been alive. I've been taken out of my comfort zone and need to find a new one, and once that happens I'll be back on top of things again without Logan looking like he wants to stangle me every 5 seconds because I didn't fold the laundry today, or becuase I'm really just too tired and upset to go to the next room to fish out hangers and try to cram everything that won't fit in the dresser on the rod in the closet.

I've just been really ugh these last couple weeks in the new place, and then this month is just really busy as well. *sigh*

I really wanted him to ask me what was wrong last night, but he never did...
