yes, i realize prolific ol' me didn't write anything yesterday. it was boring. i showed off my sunburn and my bruises and got really restless as the day went on, but that was about it. the bruises on my arm look like someone with really big hands grabbed my arm very forcefully.
i saw tom what's his face in crystal city, the guy who used to work at glenkirk. he was going to lunch with his dad, and looked at me funny when i showed off my bruises.

i finished the cuffs on my shirt! and they look *awesome*! i have the collar sewn together, but i still have to iron it flat and sew it on. i got the slit in the front of the neck bias taped, though. the shirt is at work with me, cause i'm gonna sew hooks and eyes on.

i'll probably be on the computer very little when i'm not at work, and people shouldn't talk to me unless they really need to, cause i have sewing coming out my ears, and it needs to be done in... oh, two weeks or something. i have to: collar and hem my shirt. hem and waistband two skirts. sew and drawstring two skirts. make a cotehardie. make 3 pairs of pants. make two chemises and maybe another shirt. make a doublet. die. go to pennsic naked cause i haven't finished anything. ...right. so i'm kinda busy.

but at least i'm going to pennsic. i haven't actually *told* my mom, just gradually started mentioning what i have to do for pennsic, and stuff like that. so i haven't asked, just kinda introduced it as a given. i haven't told her i'm not going to connection, but i haven't said anything about it, and i don't know when it is (it might have already happened) and i think she's given up on it. :)

speaking of my mother, i had a dream about her and andy last night. my mother was trying to plan family trips, although i think friends were involved too. i wanted to do things with andy, and she ended up planning things specifically so i couldn't see him. at one point she had a party, and i was trying to get rid of her so i could call andy and have him come pick me up, but then he showed up at the party. i ran over and gave him a hug and my mom looked rather pissed. we hung out for a while, and then i got sick and passed out or something, and my mother used it as an excuse to say that andy couldn't see me until october. of course, he were sitting next to me (i was in bed being ill) telling me this, and it was pretty much a given that we were going to ignore that rule. and then i woke up.

so yeah. my fascinating life. more later if i get bored yet creative enough.

well, i've been rather unproductive so far... found radio.sonicnet.com again (i was already a member, so i figure i must have found it before) and made myself a radio station. they do have gbs, four star mary, and rent, but they don't have melanie doane, damhnait doyle, darling violetta, or sarah harmer.

i brought the wrong needle and thread - it was near the one i set down, but the eye on this one is way too big - it'll make a big hole, if it fits through the loops of the hooks and eyes at all. and the thread is too short. ::sigh:: do it tomorrow at work, i guess. tonight i'll sew the collar on and hem it, and maybe work on the waistbands of those skirts. need to go fabricking before i can make a cotehardie or a doublet, but i've got all the other stuff i need. i think.

my immediate boss isn't here today, but the guy whose in charge of data entry stuff overall is. so i still have a boss. although this one (mike) is even nicer than garence - garence says, "i don't mind if you're on the internet, just don't let me catch you," and mike forgets to look at all.
can't talk to andy all day. :( boo. but he says he'll have a cup by thursday and be at practice... and i can talk to him tonight. oh! it's a buffy night! i'l have to figure out some fabric to cut out while i watch. or maybe i could do the cuffs then. i wonder what ep it is?

i have no clue how to do the curved seam of the pants. but other than that it should be easy. i'll have to fight with the skirt waistbands, and figure out exactly what's supposed to happen with the dress... ::sigh:: any of you feel like helping me make clothes? (kate, o mighty seamstress?) em doesn't particularly feel like it, and she'll have her own stuff to make once she gets fabric. i'll have to call bob again - maybe she'll be working when we go to gstreet. gotta call caryn block so we can sew together.

well, andy's not going to practice thursday due to lack of cup. i love surprises, don't you? too bad this wasn't one.

will andy make it to rapier practice before i leave for scotland? place your bets, folks, bidding is open.
