Any Texans out there know anyone who plays EverQuest (within a few hours of the metroplex)? I'd like spend some time going through my account before my server merges on May 23rd, and would be *eternally* grateful if I could spend a couple hours on their puter.
*more joy?*
Dec. 13th, 2004 10:43 amIt's so wierd... I feel almost like... I get on Everquest, and awesome things happen...

Dec. 10th, 2004 02:49 pmToday was pretty productive. I went home and did laundry, and made progress on the hoopskirts. I haven't heard from Rachel yet, so I'm now at more or less of a standstill (I could make some markings), but today I sewed 7/8ths of the skirts together, using flat-felled seams, 'cause those look so much better. The final seam needs to wait until I get ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unknownpoet78's waist and hip measurements, just in case I need to leave in a placket. I also sewed together a ton of the casing for the boning... I just hope I don't need any more.
I got my hair trimmed - about 4-5 inches taken off the back. Less in front, since a couple years ago I made the mistake of getting my hair layered.
Today there's a bit of a Japanese-themed thing going on atganuk's place, but when the rest of 'em head out to the Southern Theater, I'm going to stay home and crack out some more. I want to make a little bit of progress on Ivy's epic, and Fri night is usually a pretty busy night with the Knights, so we'll have to see if maybe we can get something fun to happen *grins*.

Dec. 8th, 2004 05:22 amSo, even though I lost the logs for the RP I did with Fey and Cor, I was able to commemorate some of it... I was running through New Tanaan when I heard someone thank another person for her stories... so I turned, to say, "Oh, I missed it?" and it was a GM! Meep!
*smiles* So, I said it anyway, and he, a collector of stories, of dreams, asked that I relate one of my own... with a false start or two, here is our conversation....

Dec. 6th, 2004 12:40 pmI haven't posted a whole lot recently, since all I've been doing is playing EQ *hangs head* and EQ2....I'm enjoying myself though, rediscovering how to have fun in the games, and what my play-style is... it's interesting.
Anywho, I finally did some things other than EverCrack...
I've bought and washed some fabric for hoopskirts, and I'm going to focus on those next week. Goals: Cut main pieces, and call Rachel and set up a good time to use her serger. Ideally use said serger as well.
On Saturday I went to the Cappaferro Cast Party - got to watch the preview and an extra for the DVD, and listened to the 80's cover band After School Special. That was pretty fun, and I now need to get the soundtrack to The Passion of Christ. It also put me in a mood for dancing... So kireeonna and I are going to hit Hard Mondays in a couple days, and I've been itching to check out dv8's new night at Ground Zero... I like what I see of his playlists, so we'll see... I just want to find a night that's like Thursday nights at The Church... /drool ... I'm thinking Hard Mondays might have the best chance of that.
Sunday I went to Terp rehersal and danced, yay! I was distressed at how much of Bizzaria d'Amore I'd forgotten/was rusty at, but got through it ok, after many many run throughs. I wish we had males dancing it though, because then I get to flirt and steal someone's hat. Na ja, what are you going to do? Besides get more men in the troupe? *laughs*
After that I hung out withunknownpoet a bit, played some DDR, and went to the PBS/TPT station to do the pledge drive for MRF. It was actually busy there, for the first time since I've started doing them, which was a nice change. I feel like I earned my 15 food coupon books this time.
Other random stuff.... last week I was involved in some awesome RP with Cor and Fey, and lost the frikken log!!! I stupidly tried to move the file down to my own computer, and didn't leave the original onganuk's machine... and now the disk I put it on is not only unformated, but it isn't even formatable any more. Fucking floppies. Grrr.
This week I'm going to try and pry myself away from EQ a little bit, and get some errands done, and sewing. Wish me luck!

Let's see... it snowed a lot after Thanksgiving, and I did some sewing - I'm ready to cut the boning for my next bodice...

Happy, and slightly related news, Dave says I can set up my puter in his basement, so once I get it back fromtweekymonkey, I'll ... well, I'll probably be playing EQ a little too much... but hey, it's not like I have a whole lot else to do.... *giggles*
*hugs* to everyone! You all rock!

Aug. 23rd, 2004 11:15 pmSo many things....
I'm afraid to log on to EQ. I don't want to say good bye to everyone.
I still need to make my final posts to the board.
Cyian tells me that I won't go back, and if I do, it won't be the same and I'll stop again.
Need to make final posts.
*sighs*

Jul. 28th, 2004 06:28 pmHey, how about I post a real update for once?
Things are progressing towards doing the circuit fairly well. I've gotten rid of a bunch of stuff. Today I did some general housecleaning and packing, doing laundry and picking through clothes to keep and get rid of, dishes and doing the same, and going through my kitchen cabinets, identifying stuff that was way too old that I needed to toss (2 yr old spices, month-old cream cheese, etc). I also went through my fabric again, and there's more of it going to Goodwill now, and even more getting tossed.
I added a couple of things to my list of things that I think other people might want... I really need to email Schug and see if it's ok for me to post to the MRF friends list...
I'm a lot more optimistic and excited now that I know I have a tent space... I was just so worried that I wouldn't, and I'd need to be commuting constantly, and all sorts of bother. With that one little thing, everything seems much more feasible now.
Chess Match is going interesting... I must bow tounknownpoet78's superior staging knowledge and admit that simply turning around to faint works soooo much better... at least, the Cappaferro crew thought it was spiffy. *blushes* I still need to work on my character stuff... it occured to me on Monday that something I'm doing with her reactions might be inconsistant, and I should be more susceptable to Alaric's 'love' rant. (*grins* But who wouldn't want to be susceptable to Alaric... mmm, yum! *laughs*) (*slaps wrist* Bad white-sider! Bad!)
I'm wondering how tenting is going to work... Will I set up a platform for my tent and how do I do that? Isn't there some sort of reflective tarp-thingy someone recommended I get? What sort of eating and cooking stuff should I bring? I'm glad I'm going to have this bit of overlap with housing, so I can slowly realize all the stuff I need, and get it there without having to constantly run home to mommy or something.
I'm starting to get to the point where I'm missing-in-advance my EQ buddies... I've started writing my goodbye-for-now story, which makes me all reminiscent and stuff. I still need to work on Dell's story a bit, but he didn't give me much to go on with his last letter, so we'll see how that goes... I know Fey wants me to write more.
Hrm.. can't think of anything else offhand... be well, people!

Jul. 11th, 2004 08:34 pmI had an idea for a post, really I did....
One of the things that surprises me greatly about this online stuff is how differently I come across. At least, I think I come across vastly differently online, anyway...
---
I was at work a few weeks ago, and my cute coworker had figured out how to write messages to other users on our Unix network - so we amused ourselves by writing to each other for a while.
In conversation, a standard reply for me is to say, "Neat!"
In text, a standard reply for me is to say "*chuckles* Heh, I wouldn't have expected anyone to come up with *that* idea... *ponders a bit* Yeah, that is really cool!"
---
In real life, I am so awful at improvisation. Then on Everquest a few days ago, a situation came up, where I needed to ... enforce, basically, a new thing that my guild has been doing. I mentioned to our guildleader that I needed to check the messageboard quickly to prep, because I'm awful at improv, and her reaction was, "... actually, you're quite good at it."
!?!?! WTF?
People think online that I'm a good roleplayer. !?!?!
Seriously, the dictonomy between online perceptions and real-world realities is *so* vast... I guess I'm not expressing myself very well, but I think it's just crazy.
Sorry for randomness of post. Be well, peeps.

Jun. 19th, 2004 08:13 amSo, I realized yesterday that for probably a year, all the music I've been listening to is Fest-related... so I hopped over to the slaghuis and listened to Radio Free Abattoir for a bit, and meant to listen to Industrial Noise Core at WMSE and maybe Closed Caskets for the Living Impaired (*giggles* Gotta love the name!), but I got distracted with Everquest by the time midnight rolled around...
*cheers wildly*
Yay! Ivy's making progress! She actually roleplayed with Cor! And not this stupid "Let's ask Cor a question about tradeskilling but use in-character terms" crap that she did two weeks ago. I'm so proud of her (and me)! She's already no longer scared shitless of him - just very very very wary around him. Woot!
*laughs* But yeah - the last few days have been spent completely being social - I haven't been out of New Tanaan in something like 15 hours of play-time. *grins* I'm turning into Cyian - without the horribly embarrassing mistells.
*shakes herself* But I need to get rolling on life. Goals for the day - pick up Camden tablets, an equipment sterilizer, and yet *more* yeast for my mead (*grumbles*); clean (my apartment looks like a sty); make at least 2 pictures for my Convergence handout; and get rid of more of my crap. *crosses fingers*
Tomorrow, I'm going to see if I can do a bit more work on my partlets, and maybe sew together my blue overskirt.
*cheers wildly*

Jun. 16th, 2004 11:19 pmI've been being a lazy bum. I think it started on Saturday, when I spent 14 hours playing EQ. It was fun - I got lots of things done, and had fun (except for the 2 hours waiting for rezzes - ranger down!), but it was probably a little excessive.
but yeah.... I've been all slothful - my partlets are half done, I haven't followed up on looking into car insurance... my sleeves are sewn together, so that's something at least. Oh, and my handout for Convergence is nowhere near completed...
Today was a slow day - a bit meloncholy. I kept on thinking things like "J-Pop anime will cheer me up!" and then the PS2 wouldn't read the Perfect Blue disc, and then it wouldn't read Cirque du Soliel, and at that point I gave up, and just opted for laying on my bed and staring at nothing for a while. yay fun.
Desire is cruel. I wish Cupid would lay down his bow, and Aphrodite turn away, that we need not see Despair in her cold, gray mirrors.

Ick. I've now seen the first of the digital pictures of Scarborough from Memorial Day weekend, and I really really really need to make a real snood, and make a matching hat, instead of borrowing someone else's. /shudder
The only other nitpicky thing is that my corset is fairly visible. /sigh
On the plus side, my silk chemise drapes quite nicely! Yay!
Hrm.... two emotes so far... it is now blatantly obvious that I played EQ yesterday.
Well, I have a few minutes before I head off, so I think I'll try to write my letter of intent for this Live Journal...
*****
At present, my Ultimate Goal in life is to go on the Renaissance Festival/Faire circuit, and I started this Live Journal with the intent to let friends and family know how I'm doing while I'm on the road, and to keep track of my progress in reaching that goal.

*blinks* Hey, that was a lot shorter than I was fearing.... awesome!
Yesterday was very productive - I spent a few hours cutting partlets and putting things into storage bins - I have updated my To-Do list appropriately.

Ahhh! It's all happening so quickly!!!
Jun. 3rd, 2004 04:56 pm*laughs*
Man, I can't even take one day off without all of a sudden panicking about all the things I need to get done... Only one month until CONvergence, and I still need to make the handout for my Bodice Lacing Variations workshop, not to mention all the things I need to do before Fest in August: make my and Patty's sleeves, a couple new chemises and a few partlets, and my blue gown, get rid of 90% of my belongings, and other things too. Ahhh!
*takes a deep breath*
Ok, I'll calm down now.
Goal for the evening: RP with Cor in Everquest if he has time, cut out my sleeves, take out the trash, and get rid of 10 more things. Wish me luck!
