There Must Be More Than This Provincial Life

So I know I haven't updated in such a long time but I have been mad busy like no tomorrow. As of Aug 31st I started working at the Maryland Renaissance Festival every weekend until Oct. 25th so most of my weekend time is sapped into travel and work. Also at my university I am the asst. costume designer and the main hair designer for Romeo and Juliet so fun times with that. I'll be posting pictures of the progress as I'm making new hairpieces and styles. September was Tigercon and I made a new costume so I can also transition into Snow White but a more Renaissance Faire version of her to keep the casual element of the dress with a fancy flair. So far the school year has been going well save for a few hitches in the road like losing a toenail and dealing with a martial arts club president who seems to disagree with me quite a bit.

On the down side, I seem to find myself at odds with my new president who seems to dislike me since I'm not a martial arts club meathead or a yesman, I have a brain *gasp* oh dear. So I have to put up with that and then my buddy Tyler's gf is beginning to accuse me of mantheft and adultery since I like to help him out a lot and is it my fault that I find him a bit attractive, auburn haired, beard stubble, athletic, a good height and likes Rocky Horror? So I'm not too sure how thats going to turn out but hopefully it doesn't end like Marie Antoinette, that would be awful. While I can't see myself as the wicked, sluttress man-stealer I wouldn't mind him hitting me up if he dropped the gf *mrowr* To top it all off, I got a serious toe injury when during a self defense class it was stubbed by someone slamming their foot into my toenail and then stepping on it full force with the heel when pulling back. So it fell off and I have a nasty fleshy part where the toenail was once. At the very least I can still be passed off as pretty or decent looking if I hide my foot.

On the good side, I've been having tons of fun with my costume designing and construction job styling hair, making leather bracers and corsets. I also turned 21 this year as well so whoohoo to me now that I can drink, however, I spent my 21st alone, not boozed up and having to remove my dead toenail with a pair of embroidery scissors although my friend Carrie brought cake later that evening. I'm also still single which I foresee as a permanent status in my life or at the very least for a good while. Until the day I can find a good bf then I feel I'm stuck in the single pile, so to fill the time used on a relationship I'll keep sewing. I'm also offering commissions depending on what is requested and I have slots open for mid. Nov-January with debatable time in Feb for things. I need to go to AUSA and see all my cosplay friends again, I need a pick-up after all this.

I'll post pictures of my work up again and hopefully I can get back into my habits of updating and uploading like I used to. Maybe by then my prince will have arrived... *rolls eyes*

There May Be Something There That Wasn't There Before
