At this point, I am working for the weekend.
Today has been dragging, probably because I have so much to do. I will be very happy when this week is over!
I was home for a couple hours by the time Dragon remembered to tell me that a box had arrived. The stuff I ordered him for V-day got here! I asked him if he wanted it now. It seemed only fair, since I got to see my cuff yesterday.
Okay, okay…the truth is I couldn’t wait until Sunday to give it to him. But it is still fair! And I am still waiting for a card that I made him to get here from the printer, so we’ll still get to give each other a little something later :)
I won’t be listing off all that he got though. You would never guess how kinky I am, because of how big of a prude I am. I will give your grandma a run for her bingo winnings. And so, you will just have to trust me when I say that there will be lots of fun to be had ;) You can definitely see that gag-gift I slipped in there though! Meet Dicky Dick Head, (that is actually what he is called!) Dragon’s newest desk toy. It was too funny to pass up.
Dragon got two job interviews set up today. One tomorrow and another on Thursday, both with The Big Important Software Place, just in a different department than he’d been in before. I guess they just can’t get enough of him! I’m very happy for him though, and I am sure he’ll get it! *crosses fingers*
In other news, I had a bit of an admirer on the first bus I take in the morning. I have seen him a few times before, because you can always tell when you’re being stared at. Today he must have finally collected the courage to start a conversation. A bunch of people sitting at the front of the bus waved to him when he got on, so I can only assume they were his friends. Yet he followed me to the back where I always sit, and sat in the seat in front of me.
Weird, I thought, but I didn’t think much of it.
“Do you have any gum?” he asked me finally.
“Sorry, no.” I answered, torn between going back to my iPod and talking to him. Thankfully he had made a crucial mistake in flirting and turned back around. Pro tip: When striking up conversation, don’t ask a yes or no question! When you ask a yes or no question (like ‘do you have a piece of gum?’) the person simply has to answer your question before being able to go back to whatever they were doing, i.e. ignoring you! Instead, ask a question that requires a longer answer, so they feel obligated to talk to you.
He must have picked up me thinking this is my head though, because he then said, “You look like an eskimo.”
Well, that certainly got my attention.
“Um, what?” I asked.
“An eskimo.” he referred to the furry hood on my jacket.
“I get cold easily.” I answered politely, absent-mindedly playing with my collar. I was hoping he’d catch a glimpse of my engagement ring and back off. How do you tell someone who is flirting with you, that you’re not interested?! I never know! Unless they blatantly ask you, “do you have a boyfriend/husband?” how do you bring it up? It seems rude to just say, “Sorry, I’m taken. Please don’t talk to me.” Talking isn’t a crime, but it makes me feel weird when I know you’re talking to me because of an attraction to me.
I politely answered the questions that followed, until it was time for me to get off and transfer buses, though not before he grabbed my hand and told me his name was Ronald.
He didn’t seem like a bad guy though. Nerdy. Harmless. Nice. And I admire his perseverance!
That was actually a high-point of my day. And not by any means a weird bus experience for me.
Remind me next time, to tell you about the man on the bus who took the shoe off my foot and tried to take it. Now THAT’s a story!
<3Shii
I’m a winner!
Dragon must hate me though. My psychic powers always foil his plans ;)
I took Leo for a walk just now, and decided to walk to the building entrance to check the mail since I was going in that direction anyway. There was a manila envelope that was very clearly marked “Eternity Collars”. So, I really didn’t snoop to find it. I hurried home and showed him. I am sure he is tired of me always guessing gifts before he gives them. I even knew when he was going to propose, though I was surprised at the ring itself.
He kindly decided to let me have it early, and I think I broke the sound barrier with my squee-ing. It’s beautiful! It doesn’t look as rainbow-y as in the picture, but it is so cool! The light changes the way it looks from every angle. Unfortunately, it is a little too big. If I squeeze my fingers close enough together, I can slip it off. Which kind of defeats the purpose. :( So, he’s sending it back since they have a really great exchange policy. Hopefully the smaller one will get here soon! I went from bouncing off the walls to disappointment in about 60 seconds. Sad panda.
But I am very grateful to have such a thoughtful Master, even if I am terribly spoiled. Thank you, Dragon. I love you, and I love it!
I don’t talk about the nature of our relationship on here much. Even if our friends are okay with it, I still worry about making them uncomfortable. And I’ve been there done that with another blog, and there are just too many people on the internet who like to one-up each other (though none of the bloggers I read do that) in the BDSM world. I got sick of comments about what I should be doing, what I should be feeling, etc., when the only person who has the right to tell me any of that, is Dragon. So, I just try to keep it out of here. But it still remains a very important part of our life and of who I am. So even though it is just a shiny piece of metal, that cuff means SO much to me, and I am so happy and grateful for it and what it means…and that Dragon loves me enough to keep me, despite my cattiness ;)
We went to Walmart today and I picked up some yarn, as well as some knitting needles and crochet hooks. I learned a little bit of knitting in high school (even though I suck) but I have no idea how to crochet. I picked two hooks that looked like good sizes, because I had no idea what I was doing.
I looked through YouTube for how-to crochet videos, but I didn’t have much luck. Lots of them were for hats or intricate patterns. I learned how to make a chain! But then none of them said what to do next, so I temporarily gave up. It’s pretty difficult to learn as a left-handed person. With knitting, it is easier because you alternate hands anyway. But the crocheting is proving to be difficult. I will prevail though!
Anyway, until then I am trying to get better at knitting. Right now I am making a blanket for my dollhouse. Look how terrible it looks. There’s even a hole in the corner, and I don’t know how that happened!!! Martha Stewart would be so ashamed…
I’m making grandma’s porcupines for dinner! Nom nom. Except I am using ground turkey instead of beef, which is something she would never do (sorry Grandma!). I realized that I have not been eating beef at all lately. I’ve been replacing it with turkey and chicken for months now, and now I am wondering if I should stop eating red meat altogether. It’s something to think about, at least. Though I know Dragon will never give up his steak.
I want this week to be over already! I have a paper and two mid-terms to get through before I can have any fun :( But, I know I will see friends this week for D&D (which I am nervous about DM-ing) and then there is V-Day to look forward to. I’m just working for the weekend at this point!

Random Stuff.
I ended up getting sick last night. Really sick. I don’t know what did it. I had a few drinks, but not a lot of alcohol at all. Either whiskey and coconut rum do not mix, or it reacted badly with my St. John’s Wort. Either way, it sucked. I puked for the first time since 2007. The worst part was I ended up having to just try to sleep it off, and I had wanted to spend the night with Dragon :( I woke up feeling sad because of this, but I feel much better today. And I am grateful that Dragon had to take care of me, but I feel guilty! I know he doesn’t mind, but I’m the caretaker of this house. It feels weird being useless.
Anyway, I’ve put it in the never-do-again folder, and that is that.
I’m currently watching “Across the Universe” and doing some cleaning. It makes very great background noise, but the movie itself is so well done that I find myself wanting to sit down and watch it. I have a lot of homework and studying to do, but I just don’t want to do it. I just want this week to be over!
Valentine’s Day is this weekend! I am excited! I have no idea what we are doing though. We decided not to go snowboarding, so Dragon is going to plan something else, but I am not allowed to know what. I have been trying to guess my present for a few days now, but he won’t budge. I know it is two parts, one of which is sitting in an envelope that he won’t let me open. The rest is probably: 1. not ordered yet, so that I can not peek, or 2. Sitting at his mother’s or a friend’s house so I can’t peek at it.
I don’t want to admit it, but I really have no idea what he could have gotten. I suspect it may be the Fantasy cuff from Eternity Collars, but that may just be wishful thinking. I asked for a cuff to possibly replace my collar, at least for everyday wear. It has been hurting my neck to sleep with it on, and I have so many pretty necklaces I can’t wear either, many which he gave me. I wanted to make sure he was okay with that, and that it didn’t offend him. He said he is definitely okay with that, so I’m glad. So, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this cuff, because even if I don’t take my collar off (it has become such a part of me, I don’t know if I can actually not wear it) I have been drooling over this baby forever. :)
I just hate waiting. I told him I would much rather be right, than be surprised. I don’t like surprises. But he is standing firm, and you will just have to listen to me complain until Sunday!
I don’t much else to say.
The dryer is making scary sounds like it might explode. I should probably go fix that.
<3Shii
I love Saturdays!
On Saturdays, I can do whatever I want, and not have to feel so bad about it :p
This will probably be a short post, because I am in the middle of making dinner. I am making Jessie Beth’s “Ghetto Empanadas”. I have never had them before, but it smells delicious so I can’t wait to have them! Nom nom.
I was up until about 6 am this morning. By 4 I was seriously what-the-fuck?-ing because though I had taken that hour nap, the nap was over at 11:11 am! There was no need for my body to still be so awake. So, needless to say, I didn’t get out of bed until 3 today, and as a result, have not achieved very much :p
I am elbow deep in the middle of a new project though! I decided to start decoupaging the end table that Dragon got at Ikea yesterday. I really like it so far. I just used the $8 side table, and watered down Elmer’s glue makes the perfect decoupage liquid. I just used a paintbrush to apply it to pictures I cut out from Children’s books that I got from the thrift store. I started with no real plan of what I was doing, or what I want it to end up looking like, so it has kind of become just an emotional release project for me. I just sit down and let what happens happen. Much like my blogging actually. It feels good, even it it only makes sense to me.
We went to the store today to pick up some pet food. I found myself drawn to the arts and crafts section, particularly the yarn. My dollhouse, while built, still needs more decorating on the inside, and I have kind of been neglecting it :( Poor Mewskis. So, I really want to knit.crochet them some blankets!
The problem is, is that I do not know how to crochet. I remember asking my grandma to teach me when I was in Elementary school. I knew she knew how, because she had made a blanket for me, and another for my brother, when we were born. She said that she couldn’t teach me because I was left-handed though, and so I gave up. I learned one very simple, and very poor, knitting technique in high school, but that’s about it. So, I would really like to teach myself, and I’d like to do that soon.
There is just something so romantic about domestic hobbies like that, at least to me. I want to sit next to Dragon and knit him a hat, or sew a pretty picture and quot, to frame and hang in the bedroom. Just little things like that make me feel so calm and happy :)
Life is pretty darn good right now. I don’t want this weekend to be over!
Now off to rescue the meal from burning!
<3Shii
Ikeeeeeaaaaa.
Today ended up being really, really cool.
I got up early, even though I usually do not go to the one class I have on Fridays. I needed to make up a geology lab that I missed last week, when I was genuinely not feeling well. I originally wanted to do it next Friday, which is the latest I can do it, but I am supposed to turn in a music paper that is due at the same time as the lab.
Well, I was on the bus, just about to get on the freeway, when I realized I didn’t have the book I needed to do the lab, so i just got off and asked Dragon to come get me. There was no point in commuting into the city for a lab I couldn’t even do now.
I was a little worried about how I would get the lab done, but I emailed my Music TA and she said I can turn in my paper early! Which means that I can do the lab next Friday like I originally wanted. So, that makes me really happy.
I decided to take an hour nap after that. I have not gone to bed before 2am in ages. And since at this point I had only been up for 2 hours anyway, it was easy to go back to sleep. I asked Dragon to only let me sleep an hour, but he waited a little longer. He finally came in, gave me a hug and a kiss and said “It’s 11:11. make a wish!” Being groggy, I didn’t realize what he meant, but managed to think of something before the clock changed. That was a great way to be woken up. I love him <3
I was sad that he woke me though, because I was having a really awesome dream about it snowing, and I was so sad to find out that it wasn’t real. I was even sadder though, when I realized that the flying bumper cars he and I had been driving to get rid of bad guys were just part of my dream too! :p
We went to Ikea this afternoon. I wanted to see that couch I want in person. Sit on it, make sure I liked it, and that it was actually worth saving up my money for. It was. I sat on it, expecting it to be uncomfortable like I had read online, but it was perfect. Not too hard, not too soft. It is the baby bear of couches, and totally perfect <3 I can’t wait for it to be mine!
We had Swedish Meatballs for lunch, and they were delicious. Dragon also got me a little brown side table, because I told him I wanted to decoupage one. I also got a little bit of Daim, which is a delicious milk chocolate and almond toffee from Sweden. It is very yummy, and makes me very proud of my Swedish family. It also made me want to learn a few recipes even more than I did before.
After Ikea, we went to a local arcade that Dragon loves. We played lots of games, and it was really so much fun! Usually I am the one asking if we can finally leave, but this time he had to drag me out of there :) I am getting much better at Pop’n music, and I even beat him at Street Fighter 4, a game I previously refused to play because I am so bad at it. I have been way more interested in fighting games lately. It’s weird.
On the way home, I called my dad and made plans to get together with him in two weeks. That’ll be nice. Now we are just home, relaxing. I have a lot of studying to do, so I probably will not be doing much. I feel like it is one of those weekends where I need to just unwind and have alone time, you know? And I need to write my D&D campaign! That’s fun too.
Here’s to a wonderful weekend!
<3Shii
Thank goodness it is almost the weekend!
Today thankfully passed quickly.
I was up late studying, and 7am came way too quickly. I am exhausted.
Today was a mish-mash of stuff. I got through my classes okay. My music class went okay, though it was much harder (to my disappointment) than the last one had been. I went to English, then had about an hour and a half to study before my Anthropology mid-term. It is 25% of my final grade, so it is kind of a big deal. I think it went well though; I certainly don’t think I failed or anything. It was just all multiple choice, and I often thought that there could technically be more than one answer to them. oh well! it is over, and I am happy.
I bought myself and episode of Bridezilla as a reward to myself and watched it in the way home. I love that show. Then I got home, heated up some leftover chicken and dumplings for Dragon and I, took a nice hot shower, and am now just relaxing. Or at least, I was trying to relax, playing 1 VS 100 on xbox live. But every question was about teen dramas because of some game they’re pushing, and it was really pissing me off! I never watched most of that stuff, and I am a very sore loser so I had to quit playing so I wouldn;t through my pretty controller :p
My jacket broke this morning. The zipper is all fucked up, and it sucks. It is my only one so I had to wear it anyway, but it doesn’t do much good insulating your body when it can’t zip up! I’m sad that I will need to get a new one. Though, I might not have to if the weather persists as it has been. It has been a lot warmer now than any other winter here. I even noticed that some of the trees are already blossoming! I took a picture. As you can see, the sky is as gray as ever, but it isn’t too chilly for flowers to grow! It is pretty, but also weird. Valentine’s Day has not even passed yet! I suppose that means no snow for Shii this year. Which means no snow angels or snowmen or igloos. Sad.
I have a pimple on my right nostril that is killing me. It doesn’t look bad or anything, and is actually barely even red, but it is SO painful! It is the kind that just lurks under your skin forever, throbbing viciously. I may have to have Dragon tape mittens on me so I don’t touch it!
I have been taking my St. John’s Wort daily for 8 days now. And honestly, I can tell the difference, and it is a good one. It even made my PMS non-existent, which is amazing. I mean, I am not pooping rainbows, but I am also not walking around like a zombie. I just feel normal, like I don’t have to worry about feeling down for no reason. I hope it stays this way, and I’ll keep taking it unless something changes.
I am so glad the weekend is approaching. Though I will have a lot of studying to do, I am looking forward to having fun as well. I hope to get more of the bathroom painted, and finish my D&D quest. And with any luck Dragon’s V-day present will get here too!
Now I am going to snuggle up with a movie before bed. I have to get up early and make up a geology lab I missed last week when I was sick. Luckily shiny rocks are worth it.
<3Shii
Tomorrow, tomorrow.
I loathe you, tomorrow…
I want tomorrow to hurry up and be over. I have a quiz and a mid-term. I should be studying right now, but I am waiting for my energy drink to kick in. I swear I study better at night! It is not bad though, because I finally decided to get a bit more of the bathroom mural worked on more.
Before Dragon and I even moved in together, we discussed decor. Because living in this condo was definitely not our first choice, I wanted to completely change the inside. I wanted to make it really feel like our home, rather than a place we had to live because Dragon bought it before we met. Anyway, I joked that it would be cool to paint a video game mural in the bathroom. We ended up talking about it though, and it actually sounded like a good idea. So, Dragon said I could. Well, painting a mural was a daunting task, so I put it off until last summer, about 7 months after we had moved in together. Since those first couple of weeks, I have not really done anything. It is a lot more work than I thought it would be, and I have a really hard time finishing large projects.
So far, the only piece I have completed is this sleeping Pikachu, right above our sink. I have started a Mario shroom door, and a tetris scene. Today I did more on the Tetris scene, and also started a Mario pipe, from which a tri-force carrying Link is going to rise. Since the walls are so white, the paint all takes at least two coats, but I will get there. It is on my day zero list, so I will definitely finish it!
The rest of my day has been pretty good. On the bus this morning, I saw a homeless man standing near the gas station. He was wearing an American flag like a cape, and on his hand was a very beautiful ventriloquist dummy. It was a very nice puppet, looking like muppet quality. I wonder where he got it? He was standing there, performing a little act, and he just looked so happy. I was sad that I was stuck on the bus going in the other direction, because if I had been walking, I totally would have given him some money. Either way, he made my morning, and if I see him around here again I will tell him so.
My geology lab today was really nice. I ended up with a really great lab group, though I am the only girl, which always makes me feel weird. I have always had way more girlfriends than guy friends. I am also used to not really caring to get to know my classmates. Most of the time we are in big lecture halls where we don’t interact at all. But I am surprised that I feel a little connection with two of my partners. They both seem to be really into the gems like me, and the three of us end up doing most of the work while our other two members sit there. I don’t mind too much, because the other two guys are really entertaining, in a “are you serious?” kind of way. For example, today one of my partners, who is one of the school’s tennis stars, was loudly describing his weekend, where he was caught by the cops pissing on a Wendy’s sign while they were stopping for food. It cost him $1700 and a night in jail, and how it wasn’t the first time…geezus. It still ended up being a great lab though, with lots of shiny specimens. I had fun.
Now I am just trying to study as much as I can. I am not too worried, but I never am. I always pass my classes, but I am sure if I tried harder it would be a breeze. I guess I just don’t care enough :p
<3Shii
I WANT THIS COUCH!!!
I assure you. The capital letters and three exclamation points were essential to the making of this blog post.
Ikea and I have had a love affair for some time now. No kidding you, I can clearly remember the first time I went to an Ikea, as one of my happy childhood memories that was not lost over the years. My father’s cousin, Clara, had just finished college and wanted to get a couch for her first home. She had always been my favorite family member, though she was 11 years older than me, so I was excited when she asked me to go looking with her. She liked to take me shopping. The very first place we went, was Ikea! I distinctly remember how big it was! There was just so much to look at, in so many colors and shapes and sizes. I was amazed. After walking around for what felt like forever, and trying quite a few couches, we ate Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes and lingonberries. I remembered feeling really important eating it, like I was really cool because we have a lot of Swedish blood on that side of my family, so I was really genuine. Weird, I know, but I was a strange kid.
We didn’t end up getting anything that day. I didn’t understand why, because I thought everything was adorable, but my cousin thought they weren’t her style. Meh.
I did not go there much after that. I always loved getting the magazines in the mail every year, and I would drool over the pictures. I would cut them out and plan my rooms in a future house. What kind of kitchen I wanted, where my pink couch would go. When Dragon and I moved in together it was an obvious choice of where I wanted to get furniture :p
If you walked in here now, you would see that nearly every piece of furniture we have, plus curtains, linens, couch pillows, are from Ikea. We have a few items from other places, like Dragon’s office chair, some bookcases, and the fucking couch are from other places.
So, needless to say I like Ikea, and have even been known to bribe Dragon into taking me there, even just for candles.
Now, when we moved in, Dragon let me take care of all of the decorating, as long as it was reasonable. But one thing he really wanted was a black leather couch. So, I made sure that’s what we got, and looked around until we found a good one. I even made sure to give him half the money for it, (before now, where we pool our money together) because I liked it too.
I hate this couch. Hate it. I hate it so much that months ago, I bought myself a floor pad to sit at Dragon’s feet, rather than next to him. It is just so…leathery. I get stuck to it when I’m wearing a short skirt. The color matches the carpet. And it just sits on the ground, rather than elevated, meaning stuff gets shoved under it easily.
So I have been begging Dragon for a new couch. Every time we go to a store where there are couches I ask him to sit down with me. I am trying to tempt him away from the old couch, and help him see we need a redo. He has agreed that we will definitely be getting a new one, but we just have not gotten around to it yet :)
That doesn’t stop me from looking, and for some reason I decided to torture myself and look at Ikea. And now, I am in love.
Aren’t they adorable? It is the same couch, with two different covers, the first being one I knew Dragon would like, the second being the one I love. It is so adorable, and totally my style. Plus it matches our walls and carpet already. I want it. It is the Klippan from Ikea, and they have made it since 1979! And though they have changed the covers, or the material the couch was covered in, the shape has remained the same. And yet, it still looks modern, 30 years later. That amazes me.
I know I am ridiculously excited over a piece of furniture, but that’s just me. I’m like a bird collecting shiny things, but I know I don’t need them, and I am not ungrateful. I just like a home that is decorated with special treasures that make it my favorite place to be :)
And I am so saving up my money now. With the cover, it will cost $230. Which isn’t much, but is more than I can afford right now, with lots of stuff coming up. And if I buy it with my own personal spending money, Dragon can’t say no…right? ;)
Wow. I just wrote 800 words about furniture. I need a new hobby.
<3Shii
Today was a long day.
Today in my English class, I decided I was not going to look at the clock. That class is two hours long, and the Professor rarely gives us a break in the middle. Sitting there for two hours, I just keep waiting for it to be over. I usually look at the clock frequently, and end up being nauseated when what felt like a half hour was only ten minutes.
I lasted 20 whole minutes before I finally peeked. Sigh.
Today was long. And it unfortunately is not over yet. I have a lot of studying to do this week. I have one mid-term and one quiz this Thursday, and two more next Thursday, so I will be busy busy busy until then. (Though, not too busy for blogging. I always try to sit down and write something, anything, everyday). It stresses me out a little bit, but I think the extra work every few weeks is definitely worth all of the fun that I get to have in between.
I read today that the house used in the television show “Full House” is up for sale, and it got me daydreaming. I would love to live there, if it was not in California (and didn’t cost millions of dollars). I loved that show when I was younger, and watched it all of the time. And since it was on for so long, it was like I grew up with the characters themselves. I’d love to be able to live there. Eat breakfast at the kitchen counter like children would before school. Have a game room in Uncle Jesse’s recording studio. Slide down the banisters of the stairs, where DJ got her first kiss. I just have so many memories of that show :) They were an uncommon family, just like mine was, but you could tell how much they loved each other. It made me feel less alone, less weird. So the thought of actually getting to live in that house, where all that stuff happened, is a really awesome fantasy!
I have trouble sometimes, remembering that fictional events are fictional. That characters I feel so connected to and love so much, do not really exist. Or maybe they exist because I love them? I am not sure.
I have been trying not to think of wedding stuff over the past couple weeks, but it really is unavoidable. This wedding won’t plan itself. It is getting to the point now, that we have to decide for sure on outside help we will need like audio equipment, decoration, and flowers. And I don’t know what I want! Dragon has given me complete control, which on the one hand is very sweet. But I am not good at making decisions. That is not my role, and for a very good reason!
We joked when we got engaged, that it would be really fun to set up a Rockband station, with our xbox 360 and equipment. That way, we could let our guests be our wedding band, and people could play the songs they like. Our venue has a projector that would help this plan, but not a sound system good enough to support it, so we would need to rent the equipment somehow. I have no idea what electronic things we would actually need though, so I am at the point where I almost just want to say ‘fuck it’ and get a DJ. What do you think? And if you have had a wedding yourself, what did you end up doing for music?
I have lots of homework to do, so I will cut this short- short for me, anyway. I also have lots of cuddling Dragon to make up for, because this is the first time in 6 days I have been away from him for more than 2 hours. I know that will seem pathetic to some of you, but I assure you I was not always so co-dependent. I just found someone who made it okay :D
And then there are the fur babies. They are desperate for attention today, and do not think I should be blogging. Leo is sitting at my feet now, giving me the sad eyes.
I’m going, I’m going!
<3Shii
To be, or not to be?
That is my dilemma.
There is not much going on today. I have been very sluggish today. Though, in my defense, I have a long week of studying ahead of me, because mid-terms have arrived. SoI am merely getting all of the procrastination out now. And I got through the 3rd Season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” so I would hardly count that as a day wasted ;)
I kept noticing that I was getting a lot more traffic on my blog today. Looking at my stats, I realized why. The makers of the Dungeons and Dragons movie I wrote about a few posts ago, found it and linked to it on their Facebook. That was really surprising, but very flattering.
I forget sometimes, that anyone can see this. To me, it is just my boring life. Yes, it is public, but it is still weird to me that people want to read it. It makes me feel like I should spend more time at least proof-reading everything first. But I think that may ruin my charm!
Anyway, that was pretty cool.
Roxy’s 21st birthday is coming up, and she told us yesterday that she is throwing a Sci-fi themed party. I think that is pretty cool, especially since the other day I was telling Dragon how I want to host a themed party this year as well. It just seems like a good year for that type of thing.
I usually am not much of a party person. I often just feel overwhelmed by all of the people. I always worry that I won’t have fun. It is always an empty worry though, because I have found whenever I talk myself into actually going, I have a lot of fun and meet nice people. I guess I just need to force myself to get out more.
I have no idea what kind of costume to get though. I am more of a Fantasy type girl than science fiction, so I am having trouble thinking of who to be. I don’t have much money for a costume, so I would prefer something that could be put together with what I already have in my wardrobe. Though if it were a really cool costume that I could wear again at conventions, I would not mind that either. So far I am thinking about Princess Leia, or possibly Xena. WHat other female sci-fi characters are there? o you have any suggestions?
If worse comes to worst, I will just be a robot or alien, which can easily be done with makeup. I did love The Princess of Mars…
I have not yet figured out what to get Dragon for Valentine’s day. I am pretty sure that we are still going snowboarding, but I still want to get him a little something. Men are hard to shop for! But I have been good and stayed away from what must be my present. It was an envelope from a punchcard place in Chicago…that is all I could tell from the envelope before he snatched it from me and hid it! Darn. I am being forced to behave.
I suppose this is dreadfully boring, but there is nothing I can do about that. I didn’t do anything today. Maybe tomorrow I will cure cancer, or steal the Mona Lisa. That’ll even things out, I’m sure.
