My cut isn't working and I'm on cold meds...
Hello, everyone! I'd like you to meet BubbleGum (aka "Bubbles").
Bubbles is a stuffed Hippo who stands about 11" on four legs. She is made of soft, fuzzy material.
I got Bubbles when my family went to a family reunion in Oregon. I had some extra money burning a hole in my pocket, we went to Safeway, she was soft...voila! I walked out of safeway holding a stuffed hippo with a big shnozz and a bottle of sunflower seeds! ^_^ Later on, when our can broke down going through Nebraska AGAIN (what IS it with our cars and Nebraska?) I sewed up a small hole in her tummy while we waited at the hotel for repairs. The repairs took 3 DAYS, btw. XD
Okay, on to other stuff. A-Z inventory of 9-13-09 (it's been a long time since I did one of these!):
Andrew: I got a letter from him yesterday! He wants me to make 3 more little books for a few of his friends. Shouldn't be too hard if I can find the time at work.
Books: Chegg finally sent me the right book, after all that Customer Service wrangling I had to do. It paid off!
Camera: I got a new camera! It has 12.1 megapixels, and it's PINK! ^_^
Dress: I found a few more dresses that I love, although their going to have to wait for my coat. I need that thing, it's getting to be cold!
Eating: Not regularly, once again. I need to find time to make my bento ahead of time, and healthily! I've been living off of frozen pizza. Yummy, but very unhealthy.
Face: Was almost clear. I got my trial of Gloskin skin brightener...I think I'm sending it back. It was so oily...it made my skin very shiny and didn't soak in, even after 3-4 hours! And this morning after using it I found 3 new pimples...I haven't had new pimples all week!
Graveyard: The family went to go see the unkept graveyard G is thinking of fixing up for his eagle project. We got to hike through somebody's yard and through a half mile of sagebrush and horse dung to get to it...I don't know if it's worth it. Highlight of the trip was the ginormous dog that came to meet us as we went through this person's yard (we had permission). He was up to my shoulder (I'm 5' 2") and such a cutie pie! He scared my brother and sister, but I've always love animals too much for my own good. XD
Homecoming: J got asked! We went dress shopping yesterday, and she picked out a beautiful dress that looks almost casual loli!
Illness: I have a cold. Stuffed up in head and nose. Yay.
Just sort of sitting around: what I'm doing right now.
Kindness: I'm a little tired of overly sensitive people. I mean, I'm sensitive. I like things nice, and clean. But when someone BAWWWs about people being mean because they didn't say everything was nice and perfect and actually give an honest opinion...that bothers me. Just because someone is honest doesn't mean they're unkind. Yes, there are kind and unkind ways to be honest ("I don't think that will work very well" vs "THATZ SUCH A STOOPID IDEA U STOOPID NOOB"), but don't expect people to walk on eggshells around you. It's not fair.
Light: One of my lightbulbs is burned out. Whoopee.
Makeup: I actually was pretty good at doing my makeup this week! Part of the take care of myself challenge, I guess. It's nice not to have to wear as much concealer, although I've begun to realize how many scars I have on my face.
New friends: I found a girl on campus who actually knows what loli is! She said she has friends who are way into it, and she wants to get into it, too. We exchanged names and numbers, and she actually lives sorta close to me! SQUEEEEE! <3
October plans: Just found out the grands might be leaving in October to visit cousins. I wish I could go, too!
Pen Pals: 3 new pen pals. 1 from UK, 1 from Texas who is going to be a teacher, and 1 from idk where. I like pen pals!
Quiet: I'm appreciating peace and quiet more than ever. Also, my left ear is stuffed up. So everything is all quiet and echoey.
Reading: Once again realizing how much I don't like reading textbooks. I love to read books, but something about textbooks makes the information go in one eye and our the other. Also, I have many overdue library books. XP
Shows I like: Eureka is good, I found another one called Warehouse 13 that is pretty interesting. Smallville is back on, but I've lost interest.
Teaching: Still not real confident in this. I'm hoping I'll develop some once I have my own classroom and don't have someone looking my shoulder ALL THE TIME.
Umbrella/Parasol: My new pink meta parasol arrived! It's so pretty and delicate! I'm embracing my love of pink rapidly. ^_^
Very much too tired and weird to think of somehting for this right now.
What is with all the n00bs?: I'm usually pretty patient with n00bs, but come on! If you're not even going to read the rules before you post...and have you even LOOKED at what people wear in the loli comm? Your cosplay satin mini with wings is NOT whole comm material. And your rant about mean lolis isn't either. Why are they all out today?
Xeniph_b: wow. Google search for "xeniph_b" was actually pretty accurate. I guess it's a pretty unique name!
Yawn: I'm tired, but I feel like I don't want to sleep. This is so annoying!
Zzzzzz...er, yeah. Wha?
