Random stuff

1. It was great seeing all the friends I saw yesterday. It reminded me a bit of a reunion, with all the stories, the bad puns, the hugs, the smiles, the tears, and...oh, the food! Plus, I got hugs and kisses from the world's cutest three-year-old. All in all, a very good gathering!

2. After all that, I went to Home Depot and got the last thing needed for my closet makeover: drywall screws! With only a little help from pierceheart (and that's because I didn't need more, not because he didn't offer more), I managed to put up a wooden board to brace a couple of brackets, the brackets themselves, and then the metal closet rod that rests on those brackets. Now, I have a closet rod that doesn't bend in the middle! Yay! I don't think I can fit all my clothes in there, though, space-wise. Oops. Must box up some summer stuff before I hang up the rest of my heavier clothes. I feel so accomplished, after this!

3. Damn, it's cold today! I wore my down jacket this morning. I had to. I could have made do with a sweater and a leather jacket, maybe, but neither my warm handknit sweater nor my leather jacket currently closes in the front. I need to sew the zipper on that damn cardigan, and get a new one put on my jacket. But I kept nice and toasty this morning, which was good. I don't understand these folks who just wear a sweatshirt and a scarf on mornings where the temperature's in the mid-30s, and below freezing with the wind chill. Brrr.

4. I have dance tonight. We didn't have it the last two weeks, so it feels like forever since I had a class. I have to think of something to do for an in-class performance sometime. Oy. I know I'll look better if I choreograph something, but I don't know if I will have the time or inclination. We'll see.

5. I still don't know if I'm going to manage a costume for next Saturday night's Halloween party. It's looking less and less likely that I'll have time to find stuff for either of the two costumes I'm considering. It's a pity: the theme is one I like, and I liked my costume ideas! Ah well. So be it.

The theme is Doctor Who, so I was thinking of a character from one episode of season one of the new stuff. I was also thinking of a character from a spin-off of that show.

i decided, pretty much immediately, that i'm going as one of rose or her mums' friends from the estate.

because, i have the clothes for that, i can wear them to class, and i can SAY i have a costume and basically do NOTHING.

stupid school, taking all my free time and energy.

I could wear a tee shirt, jeans, and my black leather jacket, and go as Gwen from Torchwood. I thought about that, then I thought, "Hey wait! Eve Myles also plays Gwyneth in "The Unquiet Dead"! I could do that! I also thought about dressing as Gwen in her cop uniform. Unfortunately, I don't know how, when, or where I'd find a decent costume for either of those.

yeah, the more elaborate gwen costumes require some work, and who has time???

i get to wear jeans and white sneakers. and probably a hoodie. hee hee!!!

and if i can manage it, makeup. LOTS of it. (just not to class!!!)

I knew I'd been watching too much British TV when I saw a chick on the orange line one day, saw that she was wearing huge gold hoop earrings with her name inside them, and thought, "Oh my god, how utterly chavtastic!"

Plus, I got hugs and kisses from the world's cutest three-year-old. All in all, a very good gathering!

And he loved giving those hugs and kisses. I was amused that he heard your voice and came to seek you out in the kitchen, pushing people out of the way to get to you.

It did feel like a reunion. I was so happy that the people who were there were able to make it.

That was definitely sweet. :) I was glad I could make it!
