So, I'm extremely allergic to mosquito bites. I itch like a motherfucker, and it tends not to go away after a long while. I just saw a giant mosquito in my room. Like about the size of a quarter - it happens all the time, although - because of stupid screens in the house - there are very few...
So, I craft stuff - mostly stamps. Other people do other things - but I mostly carve stamps, right? I asked for a personal swap for some amigurumis from a person who crafts them for sale in her Etsy shop!
They are basically crochet made plushies. Very cute, and very weird.
Can you guess...
So, I was away for a three day bus tour holiday with my parents. The last day was spent shopping and being obnoxious tourists with too much cash. We went to Birch Run, a huge factory outlet store with a ton of stores and decent food stores.
I'm Canadian, and that store/outlet mall knows that...
So, yes, I'm off to Chicago via Detroit. I'm going to bring my DS and my Pokewalker to measure the steps that we have taken.
Any suggestions on games for my Acekard 2i?
So, the 2nd week back from school, I come home to find my knitting kit, Shoptemp's package, and a pack of 'zines in my room.
0) I've been knitting, and it's way too fun for a hobby. I made a few washcloths from cotton yarn, and all that terrible skin is disappearing!
1) I've been stuck on...
0) My mother is going deaf. This makes me sound like an asshole on the phone with her. It is compounded by the fact that my VOIP headset is partly busted (one of the sides was smashed - will probably do a soldering job on it). My roommates probably think I'm an asshole, but it's okay - I...
My mother is a bible thumper. She's loud and proud. In fact, most of my gay friends are probably quieter than she is about it. She's since discovered that email is a great place to spam people with chain letters and random shit. Her church friends encourage her - and it's annoying. Most of...
So, I had an ex-girlfriend who was majorly into gaming. She had a Wii, Playstation 2, Gamecube and even thought of picking up a PS3. We would play videogames and then do the nasty. She loved Mario Kart (god, I suck ass at it, especially the unbalanced Wii version - one fucking shell and...
So, what would you think if you were handed one of these? It's a sample of my work, and a business card in one.
I plan to use better cardstock for these later - but as for now, cheap index cards cut to size work well.
Twilight Stamps for a Hand-Made Scarf:
Wedding stamp for my cousin: Woo, she's getting hitched, let's all dance like maniacs! (I'd be totally drunk at her wedding on purpose)
I've applied for a job at Ontario Place. Not fun, but at least it's a job. Maybe I'd do CN Tower as well. At...
0) Well, today, I did something very very very very stereotypical. I ate an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's Half-Baked. It was good, damn it - and I'm not going to lie that it is going to be hard to stop doing this as a depression mood booster. So, how was the flavour? It's like a harder...
Several things related to gaming:
0) My younger cousin's DS Lite has a blown fuse. Textbook definition really: turns on, immediately shuts down. Charging light doesn't come on. I promised I'd take a look at his fuses after exams (end of this month)...and you know what he does? Buys a new...
So lovely. My girlfriend came down to Canada, and was uber sick. (Something to do with her tonsils, and she was hacking up a storm and sleeping for 14 hours a day.) I didn't get sick, until I ended up feeling something in my throat today.
I also don't have my period. I'm thinking it's...
So, yeah, my girlfriend came down here this weekend. Bad thing? She brought a cold with her. It was bad - scritchy throat/sandpaper throat, watering eyes, nasal congestion (her nose was dripping like hell)!
So, yeah. I might have caught her cold. (My throat is beginning to itch and I'm...
I'm participating in another craft swap. This one is to create a diy craft kit. I hope my partner is a knitter or crocheter. (I tried one year to learn, and I found I didn't have the patience for it.) My diy craft kit is ready, but I have to check if Canada Post has flat rate stuff...*sigh*...
So, my girlfriend has a theory that two of my female friends are hooking up behind my back. (They are roommates, and I'm pretty close to one of them.) Why is this her theory? Because they argue over small things - like an old married couple and they are very very close. (They both sometimes...
0) I got the gbatemp.net prize package! Unfortunately, it's 2 hours away at home. *gloom* Oh well, I can play with it later...like in April...
1) I also got the craftster.org package. I can't wait to see what my swap partner sent me! So anxious!
2) I've been working on two essays and...
Since about 90% of you are guys, I'm going to figure that this method won't apply to you. I have a "pocket rocket" - an adult toy that vibrates for pleasure. I don't use it for it's intended method, but I'd say it makes a good pokewalker cheat device. I take a plastic polybag (like the size...
Pokewalker: I was giving out some Pokewalker courses, and I got myself the Yellow Forest and Winner's Path ones. (The Japanese ones work with them - the Wondercard itself is in Japanese, but when you pick it up at the Pokemart, it's in English. It's quite cool - I'm on the Yellow Forest now -...
Ah, yes. Pokemon HG/SS. It is as awesome as I remember it. I'm going to go slow and not consult the 9000 resources out there for movesets and the like.
I went to EBgames at 11:00 am, and there was a crazy line up - about 8 people (usually the EBgames is very quiet up here), and I had to...
