Back in the swing of things
So, I’m gonna try to get back on this blogging-on-a-daily-basis thing, although I don’t think I’ll have enough to write about. Connecticut is seriously boring, and so are the people who live here. Well, the only people I’ve met so far are those who work at the Lion’s Den, and they’re all “rahh! MMA! Boxing! Fitness!”
Yeah.
Anyway, Mikey Burnett has been staying with us for the past week, because he’s been doing seminars and private lessons at the Lion’s Den. Mikey’s definitely a character, so things have been a little less dull around here. He told me that I deserve a medal for putting up with Eric, and any time I yell at Eric for something, Mikey says “I’m rootin’ for her.” He also says funny random things, like yesterday when he was looking out our balcony, and commented “you’ve got some kind of wilderness adventure camp in your back yard.” (In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that behind my building is woods and a stream.)
Anyway, I’m not doing that casual Naruto shoot that I was planning on, but I am going to a con in Hoboken, NJ, on the 29th. My friend Shelley is driving down from Massachussetts, picking me up on the way, and we’re staying with my friend Jessi who lives in New Jersey. It’ll be my first time hanging out with my friends since I moved, so I’m pretty stoked.
Since there’s virtually nothing to do around here, I’ve resorted to building cosplay props. I’ve decided that one of my future cosplays is going to be a “grown-up” version of Ed from Cowboy Bebop (since I’m obviously too “curvy” to cosplay her anime self), and I’ve been spending the last week and a half meticulously transforming a cardboard box into a rendition of her computer, Tomato. It looks pretty good so far, if I do say so myself, and I’ve been having fun working on it. I’m also making a Neliel (from Bleach) mask for my friend Stephanie, which is also almost done, but it’s been giving me a little trouble. The model magic clay I was using was being a hassle, and I had to overlay some plaster on it to fill in cracks, build up some areas, and generally smooth it out. I have faith in myself, and it’s probably going to come out pretty good.

Good luck with your goal to blog every day. I think if we bloggers put restraints like that on ourselves, we’ll never follow through. Lol You just have to be “feelin” it ya know? But yeah, good luck! =P
Aw so you’re skippin out on the photo shoot? Aw it’ll be worth it to hang with your friends anyhow
i hope you have a blast.
Your Tomato project sounds interesting. What do you do with all the props you’ve made anyhow?
Good Luck blogging everyday. Have a good time hanging with your friends. Talk to you later
Although I haven’t been regular on reading blogs lately, I’ll do my best do keep myself up to date with them, and I also hope you get to blog more often, looks like more people should move in, it would be less boring for you.
Wow, good luck with blogging every day. I don’t think I would ever be able to manage that. I’m lucky if I find the time once a week.
Have fun with your cosplay. I know I found out once what that was, but I don’t remember lol. I’m sure you will enjoy it nonetheless.
I hate that feeling when I want to blog, but I feel like my day to day activities aren’t good enough for people to read. I don’t think anyone wants to know about what I ate for dinner every day aha!
Good luck with blogging once a day. I’ve never been successful at doing that before though I wish I was.
Have fun in Hoboken that con sounds like it’d be fun!
Good luck with the blogging every day, I’ve never been able to do it although it’s ‘cos laziness rather than not having anything to write about. Oh have fun with the cosplay, I’ve always wanted to do that but I’ve never been to a con.
I hope you have fun at the cosplay con! Not something I do but I still think it looks like fun.
Good luck with the every day blog I have to say I don’t think I could do it. I always have drama to talk about but I stray from tasks too easy haha!
