For those who don't know, my friend ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) riki_kiki_taco is getting married, and I'm a bridesmaid (payback, I'm sure, since she was my maid of honor) A month or so ago I ordered the bridesmaid's dress and it finally came in. I tried it on last week and nearly cried. You see, when they measured me I was exactly on for one size, but they always say to order a little bigger than what you measure, due to sizing weirdness. So I ordered the next size up. Well, when I tried it on it fit perfectly from the waist down, YAY! But I could have fit a whole other person into the gaping space at the bust. BOO! I swear to god, the dress was at least a good six inches past my bust and I'm not all that small, I wear a D cup! It was horrible! Bill jokes I could have padded my bra with a couple of basketballs and still had room, and he wasn't far off. In a panic I called Lillean's Alterations in Watertown and took it in. through shear luck I managed to get the same woman who made my wedding dress for me, this woman is magic with a sewing machine, so I began to feel a little better. (Although she did nearly laughed when I came out of the dressing room wearing the dress :( ) Anyways after pinning off a good two to four inches on each side, the dress began to actually look like a dress again. I go in next week with the strapless bra for fine tuning and then I can take it home! (By the way Momo, everybody in the shop while I was trying it on commented on how nice the dress looked (once it was pinned) and I do have to admit, it looks really awesome!, you are like, the best bride ever! Oh yeah, and Inga wants to know if you want us to use the straps that came with the dress or no? She says she can make it fit better with straps, but you are the bride.)

Well, the henna didn't happen on Tuesday as planned, (More on why later.) but I finally got it done tonight. Well actually, as I type this, I've still got a head full of green/red mud, but it'll be coming out soon, and there will hopefully be pictures after the weekend. For those who want to know what I do, here's my henna mix: ( muddy goodness ){edit} and it came out beautifully, a nice deep red. It's quite sexy, and my hair is soft and happy! Squee! Bill finished gloping everything on and wrapped my head up at around 3 and I washed it out at about 7. Perfect! Pictured to come once we get back from Reinbeck. Tags: looks, recipes

Is there such a thing as a fat anorexic? To bulimics have to puke? Or can they just binge and starve? I had a nice little pity fest last night. Stupid me stayed until midnight crying and talking about how pathetic I am. Sorry Lindsay. Can you be polyamrous and still be single? Does it matter? Can to be into BD/SM but not know anything about it (be part of the ‘scene’)? What good is being any kind of sexual if you have no way of meeting people interested in you? I’m still at work. I should be folding up the Tower Times. Btu there are over 200 of them, all 5 pages each. I’m getting a blister on the thumb I use to make the crease. I could stay here all night doing this, and get paid for it. How tedious. They used to have an ‘assembly/folding’ party when my Gram was secretary, but I actually want to get this out on time. I need to start bringing different music to work. My grandma is gone so I can finally turn my music up. I want my Queen “A Kind of Magic” CD, but cant find it. Will I go to hell if I listen to NIN in a church? (Does it even matter considering that I’m the church secretary and I’m Pagan?) I just made myself a whole pot of strong coffee. I haven’t eaten anything all day. I don’t think I can close my eyes… Bzz bzz bzz… Why do telemarketers call churches and then wonder why nobody is in on a weekday? Ok, that’s it, back to work. Nothing to see here, move along. Tags: bodywork, friends, looks, poly, random, sex, spirituality, work

I stayed up way too late last night. But then again I slept in WAY too much yesterday morning, (until 2) I had meant to get up around 10-11 ish and get my shower etc and then get a hold of Monica so we could hang out and knit and watch movies. But obviously that didn't happen. I had to run around and rush to get dressed and ready to go shopping with mom, we got some 'control top' underwear to give my tummy support while the muscles reconnect and found a really pretty pair of pants that fit me well. I also grabbed some stuff for the office and a few new pairs of 'fancy' panties for myself. It's amazing how sexy a nice pair of panties can make you feel. I finally got a hold of Monica when I got home and she came over and we talked knitting and knitted during the Labyrinth, mmmm Bowie-age. ;) I finally took my shower wicked late and then ended up spending almost an hour and a half washing my hair, scrubbing and shaving. I had to do my final rinse off in ice cold water. Blech. I didn't get to bed until well after midnight and had to get up early to go to the office. It was a mess as usual, we concentrated on cleaning out the desk drawers and re organizing things and getting the bulletin printed out and run off and folded with the inserts. There is still a lot to be done before I will be satisfied with the state of that office. And a lot of it I am just not familiar enough with the official business to organize correctly, so I have to wait until somebody else can come in and help me. Also, the old secretary saw fit to take old files and just toss them in old copier paper boxes and shove them into a corner with no organizing at all. So I have to go through all those and put them in proper order and boxes so they can e taken to one of the storage rooms. So much to do, its going to be a long time before I can just go in and sort the mail, type up a few things print them off and go. But the job will be so easy once I get to that point. I cam home and laid on the bed to pet Booger for a few minutes and promptly fell asleep until mom called me about 1 ½ hrs later to find out what the dinner plans were. It was ok though, Boogs didn't mind, he had curled up right next to me and gone to sleep himself. Soo cute! Well that was my boring couple of days. Yep. Wa hoo... :p Tags: family, friends, knitting, looks, outside, work

Now that I have the stomach for one, I've been thinking. I need a corset. A nice leather one. Maybe one in pleather too. Long laces to tie it up. Something that lifts and separates the girls. (with or without cups ;) but then I'll need something to go with it... like a nice short leather skirt. Cat collar.... mmmmmmmmmmm Tags: bodywork, looks

Went to the office to scope the place out. It was a MESS. They were very unorganized, files everywhere and random stuff that obviously didn't belong in the office were strewn about the shelves. I nearly cried when I got to the computer. Slooow dial up connection, the desktop was a mess (I'm kinda obsessive about messy computer desktops and file placement) and there were programs w/o CDs. The old secretary apparently took a lot of work home and did it there because she was too lazy to get the Word CD out and install the features needed to do them. And also had a tendency to randomly put files wherever she felt. *sigh the pastor at larger should be there tomorrow and I can get some info from him to work on the bulletin (that should only take an hour or so with all the info I need.) and John will be there so I can talk to him about the books (there really weird, first time I have seen the total listed first in a ledger and with side numbers between it and the numbers being totaled) Also, luckily I have a program here at home that I can't use but would work beautifully for putting together the addresses for the mailing lists and Tower Times. (The old secretary took it home and used her own special program. Guess she though she was going to work there forever and nobody else would ever need to do it too....) Its going to be weird tomorrow, I wore my only pair of fitting pants (my others are tow tight with the swelling yet, but that should go down in about a month or so) so I have to wear a skirt and the only one I have that's good enough for all this cold is my black gothy skirt... so the cute little pagan Goth church secretary gets to meet the Baptist minister she has to work with. Meow My belly button hurts, The doc gave me Silver sulfadiazine to put in it to help it heal and prevent any fungus that may be wanting to grow in its warm moist breeding ground. Unfortunately it burns and itches like crazy now, and is making it look all gross and gooey, and I think I may be making the previous yucky parts peel. My belly button also started bleeding again a little, but I don't know it was caused by my overzealous cleaning, or the ointment. Well I need sleep; have to get up in the morning to go back to the office again. Blech. toodlies Tags: banal, bodywork, health, looks, outside, owies, rant, spirituality, work

Went to Public Health to get my meningitis shot today (bugger cost $75!) Because I still have the drains in I had to wear a skirt to go out, so I wore my long black flowy skirt and a matching black velvety/lacy shirt. And my black high top all stars. (very gothic looking) Anyways, the line was HUGE, because a lot of parents were brining their kids in for flue shots. So while I'm waiting I whip out my knitting and go at it while I wait. Boy I tell you, knitting gothic chicks get some weird looks from stressed out mothers with little kids. On another note, I go in tomorrow to get the rest of my stitches out, and maybe my drains, (but I don't think they will be ready, I'm still draining a lot of fluid, I may have to wait until after the new year when my surgeon come back from vacation.) Also mom got us reservations for 5:00 new year's eve at Cavalario's Cuchina! YAY! Soo yummy. And new year's day I get to try out a new recipe! Weee!

Parents dragged me out and made me go shopping today. I needed to buy some black pants for culinary class. While we were out dad wanted to stop in sears for some work boots (he gets a $100 rebate from work) so while we were looking around waiting for him to try on his boots I saw the coolest pair of boots!! I HAD to try them on, they fit a little weird, and the tong is sewn into one side, so with my fat legs it doesn't cover all the lased part, but they still look pretty damned cool! Especially with my fishnets (I need a few more pairs of those, but most stores don't carry them till Halloween, and hot topic is too far of a drive away.) I also got a nice long black skirt at Fashion Bug, but it doesn't quite match the boots, I need more of a knee length black (maybe leather) skirt. But I needed a plain black skirt as well, so I got it anyways. Sad, I'm turning into more and more of a girly girl. Oh yeah, I embarrassed my dad today! Hehe. Borders is having a buy 3 paperbacks get the 4th free sale, and he got two books and I got a cook book (Moosewood, yummy) and we couldn't decide what to get for the fourth. Then I remembered a book I had been hearing about in one of my communities, so I checked and they had it! "Cunt" by Inga Muscio. Hehe, my dad had to buy this bright blue book with a orange daisy and the word "cunt" across the front. It was so cute. I've started reading it, and it seems like its going to be a very good book. So yeah, I've been acting like a chick all day, weee! And I had fun doing it, so pffffft! Tags: bookworm, family, looks

Today is my last full day here, I go home tomorrow. So may things to think about, to do. I don’t know where to begin. I haven’t even really started packing yet, im such a bad girl. I don’t know if I will be returning or not (well I will be coming back to finish no mater what, but I don’t know if I will be coming back directly next semester.) I’m just getting tired of all the bullshit classes that aren’t getting me anywhere. My mom is making an appointment with a plastic surgeon for when I go back, she really, really wants me to get liposuction, and I’m getting to damned tired of listening to her to put up a fight anymore. I’m not quite sure how im gong to tell my parents that im thinking about becoming vegetarian, it jut seem so much healthier to me, and well, red meat makes me sick to eat it anyways. But my parents are such carnivores; I don’t know how they will handle it. It’s not like they have to be vegetarians too. Oh well, we’ll see have that works out when I get to it. What else? Yeah... somebody is mowing the lawn outside, I can smell the cutgrass coming in the window, its heavenly, whenever I smell cut grass for the first time that year, I always get so nostalgic. I remember back in grade school, the first day they cut grass is the first day the let you go out for recess, kickball outside in the huge, freshly mown fields behind Wiley School kids flying paper airplanes, rolling down the hill, getting grass stains all over, but who cares? Or in Jr. High when you cant keep yourself from staring out the window, and the smells just pull you farther away from the boring classes, you know soon that you’ll be out of class for the day, and soon for the year, and you can do whatever you want, swimming in the pool at he park, walking around the neighborhood, hiking through the park, the world is huge and limitless, and its summer time, anything can happen. Then High school, the grass is being cut, but the teacher wont open the windows because they don’t want you distracted, the room is hot and stuffy but you’ll be out soon, but that brings its own worries, work, homework, studying. And the year is almost over summer work, not enough time for so many family trips, and your friends aren’t nearly as close as they were back then. One more year down, one more year closer to college, if your going to college, almost envy the kids going to BOCES, they don’t have to go to school anymore when they graduate (that is if they graduate, and don’t think about the jobs they’re going into, you wouldn’t survive, but your still a kid, you don’t think of these things.) Last summer before college, you’re nervous, working almost day and night to get money, no time, all your friends are gone anyways so why does it matter? Scared to death of moving away from home. Then your in college, the grass is being mown, you’ve already been through one semester, but you’re a freshman it was nothing, thing are getting harder, but your more experienced now. Senior, now you really are going into the real world, no summer breaks for you now, the fresh cut lawn is still there calling to you, but you cant listen, you have to study, two huge final papers, and tests every time you turn round, you have to graduate get out of here, get a well paying job with benefits, your to old to stay on your parents insurance, what are you going to do for a job? The job market is so stagnant... All this from a simple mown lawn. *sigh I don’t wanna grow up anymore... can we go back to Wiley and play kickball? I can show you how to make this really cool paper airplane, it does loop de loops! I know we can go to the park, I found this great new trail; we can pretend were exploring a band new world. Just don’t make me go back, I want to stay out here forever. Tags: bodywork, family, food, friends, future, health, looks, memories, skool, veg head, weather

Ok. I'm bored with my hair. I want to something different, something fun. Now that I am no longer an Ed. major, I don't have to worry about 'proper/respectable' appearances, so I wanna get wild. I was thinking dying my hair, but last time I did that, it didn't come out to well, because I really don't want to do full dye, I just want to highlight. Then I though, maybe ill cut it! But then I realized that I LOVE my long hair, and don't want to loose it. I contemplated pulling a Cher; you know cutting just a few locks in front to about chin length. And I kind of like that idea, you know, Extra long bang like things, which I can pull back if I don't want to have hair in my face, but they still make a nice accent. But I Still want to dye it somehow, 'cus I really like the odd color thing, and it's fun (kinda anime-ish). So I decided I'm going to get long bangs and have them dyed. I'm not sure what color yet, I want to go to the hair dresser and see what they have, and what will stay the best. Now keep in mind it all depends on if the hair dresser can do it, and do it well. And I may just wimp out. (I'll try not to) Tags: looks
