oh..all this effort better be worth it..

2:42 a.m.
12 hrs put in on a patternless amy brown inspired pirate fairy costume.. so far I have the arm bands, the long socks, the top, half a corset and a portion of the fairy skirt that will take me forever to make. I'm hoping this turns out as cute as I'm thinking it will. wish me luck people...I'm going back in

day 4 : 11:34 am

my patternless amy brown inspired pirate fairy costume..is all sewn up, now it's time for wings and accessories, at least i know the majority of it is finished..i'm hoping

It's raining..It's pouring..

So it rained today. Seeing as how you can't take pictures of the rain without getting the camera wet, unless of course you have a waterproof camera, which as of yet I don't I can only show you the storm clouds..I had decided to go for a walk in the rain today. I got ready put my phone up, and got shoes on. The furthest I went was the parking lot. The water was cold. I love rain but cold rain is not fun. It did however make me laugh and think of this list. I wonder why some children are scared of storms.

Creating a Persona is hard!!!

I've been trying...I keep trying, I never realize how hard it is until I try. Honestly I'd rather just be Amber of Wolfstar, but seeing as how I feel that would be cheating. I keep going from Greek, to roman, to Spanish, or Italian. I want a pretty name I know that much for sure. lol, and I love all types of garb. I'm just not sure I can handle the Italian or the Spanish and the poofy.

It's been several years yet again. I finally have come up with a first name Isotta. Now to continue on my journey.....

It's off to the Loony Bin!!!

You never realize how much it effects you. The way traveling back to the past by taking a trip down memory lane and going to the comedy club to see one of the best shoes ever.
First we stopped for gyros because no one had eaten, and then we went to the club for James birthday. Laughter is one of the best ways I can think of to know someones having a good time. When you laugh so hard you cry, then you know it was a great night. I had my doubts, we were given mixed ratings about the show before going out there, however it was one of the best nights I've ever spent at "the loony bin". I'm hoping the one in Tulsa is just as good

It's been years...

Out of nowhere, last night my ex boyfriend added me to the beloved facebook. It was the first time I'd even heard from him in about four years. I was vaguely shocked and asked how he was, while remembering how badly he broke my heart. Turns out he's been divorced twice (irony considering he asked my mom permission to ask me to marry him b4 he dumped me the next week)., he's been bankrupt, and now has a child. At first, I relished that, I did. It seemed like sweet revenge, however, I've never been one for revenge. I did start reminiscing though.. and it's great to relive your first love..which he was.
I lost my virginity to him at the age of 17, I got into a wreck with him for doing things we shouldn't have been doing..I went to see him when he was at his parents and spent a Christmas with them, learned to play axis's and allies with them, learned of the game bunco. He went camping with my family at Turner falls one year.. This was the unexpected remember good times, and they really were good.

Ahhh! Zombies!!!!

So, I attended Gothic for the first time ever....
and even though I enjoyed seeing people I hadn't since Gulf Wars. It was not worth the Seven hr drive.
I did however come to the realization that I have the best friends in existance and that's always great to know. Some things were done that I'm not proud of, some things will never be repeated-the gallon of wolfsfire single handedly drunk by myself. But to know you can act like an imbecile and still have friends the next day, and people to help you take care of you when you can't walk..it's the best feeling ever. So much so, that in the weekend spent in Tx, I came to the conclusion that I want to move to stillwater Ok..yep, I'm moving to moonshadowe.

When the Wolfies howl...

Still in processs




Open your eyes
'Cos another day is dawning
Children of the moon
Can you hear them all calling?
Skies open up
And an angel starts falling
Listen to their beats (listen to the beasts)
Can you hear them hollering?

Chorus:
Stop in the morning
Through to the evening
Dance like
You're the only one around
Move like you want it
Go move like you need it
Dancing it up (dance lose it all)
Till the sun goes down (when the wolfie's howl)

Free your mind
'Cos tonight
We're gonna break it down (we're gonna run)
Shake, make it funky down (with the wolfstar crowd)
Get so high
As the toxins in your body
Are the bass and the drums
And the roar, roar, roar
We're right on time
And all is fine
If you've lost your senses
Here have mine and

Lose yourself in the time
You will wait
Till the evening time
Till the sunshine breaks

Ahh, come on


(Chorus)

Till the sun goes down

Go come on
For this makes for hysteria
You feelin'
What we bring to y'all
Peace and love
Guess I get it all tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Fire is burning on
And there's children
In the forest playing
Just come forget this
To forget the "?"
Hun the forests prey
Yeaaah, noo, noooo
Yeaaaah, eeyy

Till the sun goes down
Till the sun goes
Sun goes down
Sun goes down
Sun goes down
Sun goes down

(Repete 1 estrofe)

(Chorus)

Grand Assembly of Archers

Well, I did. I went to my first archery event..with the hopes that I'd actually at least pick up the bow. It didn't happen, I was avoiding a person the entire weekend, which proved to be rather difficult. However, I did go to my very first Toga Party and I loved it!!! Throw a Toga party is now on my list of things to do. Crazy how doing one thing will make you think of another.

I did help sit gate, and set up the hafla, introduced newcomers into the sca and had a blast. It was wonderful seeing friends I haven't seen since summer started. Thats all for now..will post more later
