Sometimes I Wonder….

Sometimes I wonder how people manage to be so stupid. This person with the black ? They still owe me a nunchuck, motion plus, and either the game they told me they had, or else money back for the game so I can purchase it elsewhere. This transaction began on the 8th of this month and its still not finished because they can’t make up their mind how it is they want to try to screw me.

Supposedly the motion plus is on the way. The nunchuck? First them told me they already mailed it, then a few days later they offered me money in place of it. Okay, did you or did you not mail the damned thing already? The game which I have heard just abut everything- I never told you I had it, I don’t remember saying that, I don’t have a game like that… I asked for $25 back so I can purchase the game somewhere else. They replied with okay, it will be in the mail (I’m not holding my breath here) tonight. That was yesterday. Today I get “Okay, I send you $20 today.” Okay, but that is not what we agreed on.

If they come back with one more retarded screw you message I am escalating this another notch into ’s hands directly. They also sent me a message today begging me not to do that. Maybe they should get their shit together… just a thought there. I am being extremely nice and patience trying to work it out between myself and them. Somehow I don’t think it will work.I’m glad this isn’t my first experience with or I would never go back again.

That aside, I still feel not very me at all. My eating has been awful, and I just don’t feel motivated to do anything. If it wasn’t so damned hot I probably really would stay in bed all day, but its marginally cooler in the living room. We did have our first actual yoga today and I felt a little better afterward, but still not all here. ♥ Sweetums ♥ is being insanely patient with me and putting up with my withdrawal, but I feel bad because he shouldn’t have to put up with it; it shouldn’t be happening at all. Of course he is also asking me to just please talk to him when something is bugging me, but how am I supposed to talk about something when I don’t even know what it might be? *sigh* That’s the part I hate the most. He suggested it may be an issue with my but I don’t think it is.

I told my mom I would put some video files she found in my dad’s computer stuff onto a DVD so she can watch them on the TV when I come out this Friday. Hopefully I will remember to download the program I need and bring it with me before I head out there- dial up connections are teh suck for anything bigger then a picture. There’s still a few files that she found that we haven’t viewed yet because they are not in a friendly format… I keep thinking she is gonna open one and there is just gonna be porn. hehe

Well, One More Day.

I turned in my final project on Tuesday and the teacher loved it. I was totally shocked since he didn’t seem very sold on anyone else’s really. He said it was a crack-up. Squee! lol

Thursday we have out final test which is supposed to have about 100 questions, and hopefully I will do well on it. I’m not too worried as I have a B average on all the quizes so far, and the test is just an extended recap of the quizes. I am in the lab right now putting in my last 3 hours and 20 minutes for the semester. I could leave 10 minutes before the lab closes today but I may as well stay to the end. Its only ten minutes.

I got my beads I ordered from FMG in the mail today, as well as the beads I ordered to finish up that lovely bracelet I started on years ago. I think Sweetums was more correct then I was on which color beads were the correct color to finish it up. But hey, either way it will get done. Finally. I’ll post a picture of it when its finihsed and maybe get started on another one too. I love this bracelet.

Along with the beads I also got a bag of tubes to put beads in. I’m going to divide up my Dynomites into the tubes I think and relist them tonight. Or maybe in the morning. Not sure yet. Heck, I’m not even sure how many grams these tubes actually hold. I guess I should figure that out first.

Final Project.

We had to use a minimum of 6 images with text and other additions to tell a narrative of some type, so I decided to get creative with the help of Sweetums and use his collection to stage an ATM robbery in space and the resulting police pursuit. This time the bad guys won… click on the image to see a larger version of the compilation.

Another One Down.

I ended up turning in photo number 3 from the ones I posted the other day for my self-portrait, and he liked it, even if somebody said it was way too dark. We were supposed to tell a  story about how our life is right now with it, and mine was easy enough. The last how many years have been dark and largely unhappy for me, and I wanted to capture that, as well as the fact that things are finally turning around for me. That’s why I choose an image that was dark and broody, but that I was smiling in looking (okay, so its a fake camera smile) happy. I think it worked out rather well, even though the image wasn’t quite as clear as it could have been due to a slow shutter speed and me trying to hold still for a whole 1/4th of a second- seems like such a short time frame, but apparently its not… lol.

So, for your viewing pleasure, photo number three, again.

I know he doesn’t like the subject to be centered either, but its hard to get something off center when you’re in the bathtub.

Cleaning House!

Jul 282010

I’ve decided the next time I go to my mom’s, I’m doing a little more housecleaning. I have some articles of clothing that are nearly new, and I can’t wear there any longer, nor do I plan on getting big enough to wear them again later. One is a fairly cute dress, white with huge pink flowers on it, that I wore once, took in at the sides, and never wore again. I was looking for a picture of it in my album, but the only picture I could find from that day is from the neck up so you can’t see it. I’ll pick the new seams out of it and list it on .

There’s also a white trash prom dress, as I like to call it, that has never been worn. Its leopard print with a black rose lace overlay. Strapless, actually kind of cute, but way too big now and where would I wear it anyway? Add in a really cute skirt that I love and my grey coat I sewed the year before last, and there’s four items of clothing that will never again rest of my body. I love that coat, but it looks worse then a paper bag on me now. That one I will list on Etsy since its handmade. Maybe I can get $50 out of it. That’d be nice.

I got my package from Torrid today in the mail, and remember how I was worried the romper wouldn’t fit since it said to order one size larger then normal because it runs small? It fits fine. Not very pretty, but it fits, and its super comfortable too. That’s pretty much a win in my book. The black dress… eh. It fits. But it has this weird drape to it I don’t like. It’d be great for wearing to a club, if I ever went to clubs. Still though, it was only like $15. so I’m not too disappointed. The scarf? I love the scarf. Its bright and colorful and super cute, and perfect for Fall. Very glad I spent the $4. on it.

I listed the three patterns I made on Etsy tonight as well. Figure if they can make me a couple dollars that’d be great. I’m also thinking about making a caterpillar bracelet again, this time with a proper closure. I have the one I made that turned out really well but its a bitch to put on and take off. Maybe if I’m really ambitious I’ll take a bunch of pictures and make a tutorial for how to make one. I ordered a few new clasps so should have one that will work well for that. So many ideas lately!

I also did some work on my self-portrait assignment tonight. Took three photos that I actually liked, and have been stuck on a dark look for some reason. Here are the possible contenders.

The first one, in color.

Number one again but it B&W.

The other one, also in B&W.

I’m also going to take some more outside once the sun comes up this morning. Pretty much plan to take photos until I get one I love… lol. I love the one I have up on the top right of this page, but I really think I need a better one.
