Dis Why I Lub Nighwisss

Most badass man alive, most incredibly passionate composer, and the most talented pipe player, all being cute for the camera. I love these guys. I miss Tam looking at my wallpaper and seeing Tuomas and going "JOHNNY DEPP!".

I don't want to write on my blog because I write in my sketchbook everyday. And either way, I still can't write about everything I really want to no matter if it's in a book or online. Blehhh. I love Italy, and I don't want to go back home.

While I'm working here though, I've been listening to the Nox Arcana playlist I found on Youtube. 100 beautiful songs to get me through the dumbassery. But I think my favorite album is Winter's Eve, followed by Winter's Knight. I want to either buy or illegally download both of them. Mmmmm. I love me some Nox Arcana. Such a good gamble buy on iTunes.

Italy Approaches!

I'm surprised I haven't blogged all week. So many adventures and so many exciting things! I only thought about blogging because Wind in the Willows came on my iPod and mentioned England. I had Streets of London stuck in my head the other day while we were walking, and it was nice :) And then Catherine Howard's Fate while we were at Hampton Court, how FITTING.

In three hours, a cab will pick us up and take us to the airport. In five hours, we'll be flying to Rome, where Gina and Hailey will be waiting for us! And our Italian adventures will carry out. I wish I could explain how excited I am for Italy, but I can't. It's a profound, comfortable, unspoken kind of excitement. I should go pack now...

Last Night In My Own Bed

For six weeks.

I need to get to sleep, but I'm too awake. It's been a pretty shitty day of laying in bed and getting over whatever sick I caught. Last night was too brutal... ugh. Throwing up is bad enough and worse when you're throwing up fish. Sooooo gross. And then the chills and the fever and the headaches... Not fun. Not to mention I had to cancel all of my plans for today. No big deal, I'll just wake up nice and early tomorrow...

I'm nearly packed, which is good. Just a few oddball things to print out and shove in my bag tomorrow. Oh man, tomorrow's really it. No more bed, no more bunnies, no more Lita and Emma, and no more Dr Pepper. No more home cooked food, no more driving, and no more costuming. Worst of all, I'll spend every day missing my favorite person and it'll drive me crazy.

I don't know, I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, but I'm also not dreading it. We'll see, tomorrow's the start of a new adventure.


And maybe if I'm lucky, I'll find Jim Sturgess there and he'll sing for me.

GTFO Your High Horse

Just because you did soooo much work doesn't mean you own the show. It's annoying. What do you think this is, one giant contest? Because it's not. You don't need to be trying to one up me on everything. It's not funny or cute, and no one likes a bitch. You're just lucky I'm too passive to say anything.

On a much different and equally cryptic note, you can't say that. That's the one thing that catches my attention. I can only equate it to an exhale with nearly closed eyes.

Shit. Can I just go to Italy already?

Dallas Comic Con!

Woooo! Me and the crew went to Dallas Comic Con today! It was pretty fun, but Jesus all I wanted to do was look for shit to buy. But noooooo, we get swarmed with people wanting pictures every two steps. Seriously, I want some me space too :P But it was fun overall. We saw Adam West and Burt Ward's panel, which was funny. Ben was there, which was awesome! Good times, but now my feet are killing me. At least at the hotel cons we can go upstairs and relax ;P

Last night I sewed my sash and my cape and started on the pauldron, but it's gonna be a huge bitch to sew, so hello hot glue gun. I ALMOST messed up on the cape, but magically I ended up doing it right after all and now have a beautiful one armed cape :P Sooo exciting! I really need to make the hood.

What else... not much I guess, just been unpacking and repacking and getting shit together for Eetaly. And London. CAUSE THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE LONDON! I should watch Sweeney to prepare for the trip. I'll watch that, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, all the Harry Potter movies, and... I think that's all the movies I have that deal with London. Hmm.



TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK.

Wonderful Wednesdays

Mmmm, today was a nice day. Not only did I sleep in, but I had an awesome afternoon with my best friends and then with my favorite guy. We went and saw The Avengers and then got some awesome Qdoba after. And I mean awesome. I don't know what was better, Thor or my burrito. Oh God, his deep golden voice, leather covered body, and unkempt, but touchable hair... mucho gusta. I see a female Thor costume in my future when I run out of ideas...

Man, I want to do things, but I'm one item short. I want to start my contour drawings, but I need a sketchbook. I want to work on my pauldron, but I need more fabric. I guess I could unpack or read, probably read, ha ha. Looks like my night's been made for me, Skype and Sonic it is! And bunny cuddles and Medici readings. And lemon bars. But I really just want some cuddles and more man time.

Con Problems

Well, it seems my life is moving in two week increments. So I get back from Italy, and two weeks later we go to Jersey for a week, week and a half or something like that. Then two weeks later, it's San Japan in San Antonio. And two weeks after that, it's A-Fest in Dallas.

And at this point, I don't think I can go to either.

If not for going to the shore, I could probably find a job sooner. And it's gonna be a bitch to find a job between coming back from the shore and San Japan, because I'll also be moving to Denton then. As it stands, there is no way I could afford to go to both. Probably not even one. For each con, it's going to be $50 for a badge and at least another $80-130 for my share of the room, and if we go to San Antonio, gotta pitch in for gas money. It's just not possible. That's really awesome Heather that you're gonna take pictures with Crystal because she's bringing Jinx to San Japan and you plan on going to both cons, but I want to know where you're getting all this money from when you don't have a job, either.

I dunno, it's bumming me out because I'm putting so much time and effort into my assassin costume and con weekends are the things I look forward to most out of the year. Like I'm genuinely down about this. I'd love to be able to go to San Japan, but it's not in the cards. No cons seem to be in the cards this year, unless I get reaaallll lucky. Sorry assassin costume, you'll see the light of day next year.

In other news, I looked at three of my four grades.
