Take that, snow!

The snow all melted the next day. Yay!

If it's up to me, It'll stay away til thanksgiving or later...

But when is it ever up to me.

Dragon Age is a lot of fun and I'm spending way too much time on it.

My job is also taking up a lot of time, without much fruit. I search for articles but....yeah. It's a pain and tough.

Hmmm...lesse...I'm trying to think of whats gone on since I last posted on here.

Ooooh, the Deaf Center Event. I debuted my swamptrooper!!! It was a ton of fun, to wear swampy, and to interact with all those kids. They loved it. :)

Swampy held together pretty well for that troop, and Crimson Nights after. I had fun pretending to be a statue and playing a game I later dubbed "Scaring Sluts'.
I don't know why, but for some reason, the slutty girls always seemed to come up and 'inspect' me when I was statuing. ((To be fair, 75 percent of girls there were slutty though))
So, I'd wait til they poked my stomach ((happened more often then not)) and then just grab their hand, not moving anything but my arm, hold them for a couple seconds while they screamed, and then go back to statue position. It was good fun.
I also wore swampy to another couple events, one was kinda a wash, the other was the Midnight Release for Force Unleashed II. It was fun, though I think that was mostly due to the company.

So, I had submitted swampy for approval. For those of you who don't understand that, basically, the costuming group I'm a part of ( www.501st.com ) has a high set of standards. You have to be screen accurate, or source accurate in my case. So I submitted pictures of my costume as well as my reference shots of the actual character from the game it originates in. I got the response back on Wednesday. I have a handful of fixes to do...mostly relating to the cummerbund color. So, hopefully I'll find a way to fix everything up, if so, I'll be the legions first Swamptrooper! Yay.

Well, besides that, I don't think much has happened. I've had more trouble sleeping, in part to my insomnia, in part because of my asian roommate who still exists in a different time zone, I'm convinced. One in which its okay to shower ((and sing therein)) at one AM, followed by blow drying your hair, shaving, and then getting on the phone and not knowing what a WHISPER is for an hour.

But, hey, I'm not bitter.

Looks like I'm going to Logan tomorrow. It'll be nice to see Devin. And, if we end up going to the Howl, Jenessa as well.
Dunno what I'd wear as a costume.

Seeing as how I dress up on a weekly basis, more or less, Halloween has lost some of its charm. I see everyone getting excited, planning costumes....and here I sit with my $700 Swamptrooper and go "Meh."

Howl. Right. Should be fun. Or just seeing devin. Either way.

Also, looks like I may finally get to do what I've wanted to since Jr. High....join a D&D campaign.

The good folks over at Dungeon Crawlers Radio invited me to come play with them. I am extremely excited...and a bit nervous. It's all so new.

On a more serious note, I'd like to extend my thanks to all my real friends out there. More and more, recently, I've realized how many people only talk to me when its convenient, only like me around sometimes, etc. I have very few true friends in this world. And unfortunately for me, a good chunk of them are off serving Missions. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they are, I'm just being selfish here.

So, thank you to everyone who has been a true and good friend to me.



Okay. I'm bored.


There's a pic of Swampy for those of you who somehow haven't seen him. Which has gotta be difficult cus he's my profile pic.
