|   Necklace. Thing. XD I know that I'm pretty much the ultimate in Geekdom. But it's not like I always want to... ADVERTISE it. I've been looking for a new flash drive, because my old one is kind of glitchy. And I'm always... losing it. Ugh. I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached. So I found this when I went to Wal Mart today.  The gems and the necklace string are my own personal addition. But now I have a way to keep my geeky flashdrive with me, and no one will be the wiser. Except for the people who read this... XD | |

|  BOOB SHOT! Okay, well that wasn't the purpose of this picture. But whatever. It's hard to take a picture of one's torso at arm's length, and NOT have the central focus be my D cups. Whatever. The purpose of this picture is to show off the cute new shirt Julia/Candy gave me for Christmas. Cute, no? I like the chain shoulder straps. Seriously epic. So today is Christmas. I don't REALLY have any plans... I was going to be spending time with the boyfriend, but he woke up this morning violently ill. So I'm going to try and get some homework done today. And maybe work on various internet like projects. I want to write a bit... But my main focus this weekend is actually working on getting my website up and running. I believe it was March of this year that I splurged and bought my own domain name. It's fifteen dollars a YEAR to keep it, so... why the hell not? I wanted to reserve it on the chance that I actually become a famous writer, one day. Dreaming big, I know. XD That's fine. It doesn't hurt. I figured as long as I HAVE the domain name and editing capabilites, I might as well put it to good use. I'm going to use the site to post a whole bunch of different things. It'll mainly be a collection of links to my various corners of the internet. But I also want to use it to post blurbs from each of the novels I'm currently working on. Maybe have some short stories and essays posted, as well as an online Makeup and Hair portfolio. I'm not going to release the domain name to the general public, yet. Just because I want to make sure I have some substantial STUFF up first before I do that. So... keep an eye out! | |

| Oh, I'm so annoyed, right now. I seem to be realizing just now that I write WAY TOO MUCH. I know that is supposed to be a good thing, but right now I'm just... irritated. I spend most of my free time handwriting things. My life is so busy and crazy that whenever I have an idea, I jot it down on... WHATEVER is available. I'll even write on my arms if I don't have paper available. Ideas are constantly pouring out of my head. And the result of this is a complete... MESS of ideas, blurbs, sentences, character profiles, random WORDS and descriptions. Definitions. Imagery. ANYTHING. The result of all of this... is a COMPLETE disaster. I try to do everything I can to compartmentalize everything. Keep certain notebooks for different novel ideas, different projects. But everything lately has gotten so... jumbled. I'm frustrated because last night I decided to revisit an old novel idea of mine. Expand on it. I managed the find the TWO notebooks I used to jot stuff down. The first is a small spiral notebook I managed to fill with general outline ideas. The second has random blurbs in it. Including the complete first chapter and snippets if key scenes. But I know I'm MISSING stuff. I know I had more than this. I know I wrote some in my last journal. I just have to FIND the thing. Urgh... Out of all the novel ideas I've EVER had. This one is the most developed. And honestly, my favorite. I'm mad because I have no idea where to even START looking for all the ideas I've had. My collection of used papers has grown to a RIDICULOUS level. I feel like I need to devote my entire bookshelf to all this stuff. I have binders, notebooks, journals, even stacks of POST ITS with things written on them. And I have no way of... categorizing any of it. It's driving me completely crazy. If only I could easily TYPE things on the go. I've looked into those digital pens. The ones where you handwrite stuff and it's automatically converted to downloadable text? Holy crap, that would be nice. That way I could just handwrite stuff and organize it on my computer, without ever having to retype it all. Which seems to be my only real solution right now... But typing all the stuff I have NOW? Holy Hannah... even without school, it would take me MONTHS to do that. Grr... Now I know what I want for Christmas... | |

| It's no damn secret that I truly do love cheesy pop music and will freely admit this and force it upon HARDCORE "OMG FUCK THAT SHIT" types until their ears bleed... so here's one of my favorites from back in like 1999/2000, totally forgot about it until it just randomly played on my custom "Backstreet Boys" pandora station:
I NEVER FOUND THE WORDS TO SAAAAAY
They're totally rocking long furry-ish coats, and big furry boots...
FUCK, ITS OBVIOUS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THIS VIDEO. ;D
</popstar>
Okay, so those of you who share my love of the pop-cheese, POST YOUR FAVORITE SONGS/VIDEOS in the comments!!

| This is what my work space currently looks like...  God it's such a mess. XD Though its been worse! A lot worse. lol This is just perhaps the most amount of costumes I've had in the space at once though. There's 3 complete costumes, 2 mock-ups, and one in-progress in this photo. XD So that's what, 6 total there? XD And mountains of fabric/pattern pieces. There's also pieces of 2 other costumes over by the sewing machine. And the chair is full of doll wings/hoodies. There's a PS3 somewhere in there too. XD Its hidden. lol ( And here's a kitty photo )~Lyn - Mood:creative

You build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life.. You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, Like kiss you or smiLe at you, and then your Life isn't your own anymore." -NeiL Gaiman | |

|  FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON[ its been a hundred years since i did any new blood photos, but i came across the folder containing some of them and decided to have some fun with this one - plus its been a minute since i've bloodied up your friends page ;D ] ON A SIDE NOTE: I've officially been published in a book! We Feel Fine: An Almanac of Human Emotion - I haven't received my copy yet, but I got an email stating that the book was officially released the other day. It can be found at Barnes & Noble or Amazon. Or on the site (www.wefeelfine.org) they have some pages available for viewing, and one of those happens to be the page I'm on. http://wefeelfine.org/book/#pages/164-165 They randomly found my journal entry from Halloween 2006 where I stated "I can't feel my hands" and emailed me and asked if they could include the photo in that entry along with the "I can't feel my hands" for the book. I had to send in a bunch of release forms and shit a few months ago, and it's cool to finally see it printed! :D | |

| So I went to see James Cameron's 'Avatar' today. It... was rad. I really enjoyed that movie. To be completely honest I wasn't expecting a lot from it. The movie has a HUGE marketing campaign. I almost started to believe that the multiple teaser trailers and featurettes flying around the internet and TV had given away all the important moments and plot points. I almost felt like I had seen the whole movie.
I was wrong.
I went in totally prepared to be disappointed. And I was everything but. The special effects were amazing... the dialogue was rich and engaging, and the characters were believable, despite the fantasy element. I was completely blown away.
I have to say I don't really like 3D all that much. I don't know if there was something wrong with the glasses, but something on the screen was always kind of fuzzy. And the effects of the whole 3D element didn't really seem... WORTH it. It made some stuff blurry, especially during fast-paced scenes. I'd like to see it in the IMAX. No 3D. That would have been completely incredible.
I was kind of worried that critics wouldn't be as... impressed as I was. So I just spent some time searching around the internet. I went to Rotten Tomatoes, where 90% of the reviews on there were all positive. Giving Avatar all sorts of praise.
Except for this one: http://projectionbooth.blogspot.com/2009/12/avatar-2009.html
I read it and immediately felt kind of... angry. But after I read all the comments people posted? I felt better. The guy's a moron. Or as the Na'Vi would call him, a 'skxawng'. XD | |

Meet Sven. The super sparkly flambouyant, homosexual Elk, rocking the pink glitter and a black tinseled FEATHER BOA. Holy crap, this thing is amazing. Hayley brought it in to work. It's sitting on the top of our cubicle wall. The thing riding it is actually a rendition of Elam, made out of pipe cleaners.
Sometimes I think we get WAY TOO amused over the little things at work. Whatever keeps us going, right?
Love for Sven. Seriously. | |

| Finished another commission (for the same guy as the Jedite costume actually XD)  Battler jacket from Umineko no Naku Koro ni (which I know nothing about, lol, just made the costume) The hardest part was finding that damn cross. >>; And it's not even upside down like his is supposed to be. Oh well. XD The design on the lapel is embroidered (of course XD) and jacket is fully lined with the proper darts and everything. ~Lyn - Mood:accomplished

|  PINK! It's a hair extension. Pretty cool, huh? I went Christmas shopping yesterday and decided to pick this up for myself. Six bucks, baby! I've always wanted one and they only had ONE left at Ulta. I'm having serious issues with christmas shopping, this year. I don't know what to GET anybody. And my limited budget has me thinking who I should actually be prioritizing... Chances are I'm only to get presents for my parents and Elam's parents. It really doesn't help that we're getting ready to move at the end of this month. That puts a serious pinch on the christmas cash. But... I think we'll be okay. I kind of have a short week, this week. Well... shortER. Monday through thursday is still the normal Work school, work school routine. But I'm only working for two hours on Friday. Exactly what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my Friday hasn't been decided. To be honest...? I think I want to just... nap. I haven't been able to do that in AGES. I usually can't because Elam is in the bedroom playing his games on the computer. So I can't really sleep with the noise. I guess that's the kind of person I am. I can't sleep well unless there's darkness and SILENCE. Elam is going to be working all of Friday, so I seriously think I'm just going to nap. But it depends on my energy level. If I feel ambitious enough, I think I might work on getting the apartment ready for the move. I might to go the dollar store and get cheap plastic containers for my makeup, like I keep wanting to do. Gosh. Even with my vanity drawers, my makeup is still a mess. Just a bunch of stuff chucked in a drawer. I spend more time shuffling through the pile to find what I want, than I do actually DOING my makeup. That's frustrating. It needs to be organized. And on top of that, my jewelry collection is starting to expand. Again. Cheap plastic tupperware would be a good thing to invest in, just to keep everything separated and neat. I'm very determined to keep everything organized after the move. Just because the constant clutter of my current apartment is seriously starting to drive me insane. It's too cramped and there's too much STUFF. But starting over from scratch is hopefully going to be more beneficial. AND. I took the Friday we move off of work, so I get to spend the day setting up everything the way I want it to be set up. Because Elam has to work that day. Bonus! 24 days until the move.
54 days to the fashion show.
57 days until Caper. Woo! | |
