Two drifters

 Monday was unexpectedly very un-Monday like. 

Many things occurred this day!
But there were also other non-Monday things, as well.
Most of them total surprises, but planned ahead-- I just didn't know what was in store for the day.

Two ultimate indulgences that I was fortunate enough to have shared with Fett;
Gourmet olives and a delicious bath dressed with mint bath oil, light warm vanilla bubble bath, and vanilla and honey milk bath powder. Mmmpf!

- and since we weren't able to go to IHOP on national pancake day, we went a few days later.

One of the Monday things was kind of last minute, but important; being the assessment for my class registration at Cypress College.
This was definitely one of the things I thought I could skip out on that last couples times. I don't know why. I didn't read the fine print, and was all sorts of confused about stuff, but... I drove down there Monday morning after dropping Lauren off at LAX, arriving around 7:30AM.
The test center didn't open until 8:30 so I parked in the lot, got my pass, and took an hour long nap in my car. My alarm went off, and I hit the snooze button. The thought of being so far away from home was a little much for me, lol.

This was one of the silly things I've been stressing over these last few days. Last weekend was just... awful (mostly for Fett), because he was on the receiving end of my stressed out delusional bullshit.

1. I was worried about getting to the test center and getting lost and having to talk to people and not knowing where to go
2. My insurance plan and the work I want done on my teeth, including braces.
3. My role at work and how it's been affecting me

And... silliest of all; Ponies had set up a thing for a bunch of us to go see one of his favorite movies at the Arclight in Hollywood. He had gotten tickets for everyone and it was going to be great, AND.. because there was a spare ticket, he just threw it out there for me to bring Fett. This was incredibly exciting because he hasn't really met any of my friends other than Lauren.  And Ponies is like... a big deal to me, so. That was awesome.

It didn't happen.

Since I barely go anywhere on weekends, my ignorant ass didn't take traffic into account and left at 7pm. It usually takes me 15 minutes to get to Hollywood taking the 101.

Well, it hadn't occurred to me that Fett prefers to take the local routs over the highway, and I mindlessly just went with his directions until I didn't recognize where we were going (because I was driving and actually had to pay attention) and asked if we were anywhere near the high way because it had been a few minutes.

Long story short, there was a crap load of traffic, and people waiting for us at the theatre with reserved seats. I returned Ponies phone call and told him to go ahead without us, and that I was sorry that we weren't gonna make it because the way we took had us waiting in tons of traffic and we'd never make it on time. I'm sure the highway would've been bad too. So.

That left me in a really bad mood.

We counted 4 freak outs in 3 days. That's a new record for me. Monday morning, I turned into a woman.

SO YEAH. I've been a ball of nerves. It's bizarre though, usually I'm not prone to PMS. In fact, I deliberately try to not use that as an excuse for losing myself. But hey, I was a total stressed out bitch, and I'll own up to it.

BACK TO THE SCHOOL THING; 

It went fine. I went into the building, took my English portion because the Math one reminded me how much I suck ass at it and I honest to goodness didn't recall how to do any of the algebra on the page, and split. Drove over to a nearby Starbucks and picked up some breakfast, and drove home. It's about an hour away. Twice a week I figure won't be too bad. It'll suck on gas but... gotta do what ya gotta do.

I'm stoked. 

11:30AM I pulled into my garage and notified Fett of my arrival.
An hour had passed by before we were ready to split for Fetts' surprise. 

He brought us to the Museum of Death!!!!!

It was probably the most perfectly timed thing ever.

The place isn't massive or anything, but it's packed with so many archives and trinkets and artifacts belonging to the most famous murder scenes and criminals ever. They have simulated death scenes and thousands of letters, notes, photographs, instruments, and even clothes on display that were worn while dying. It was absolutely incredible how detailed these archives were, and the collection of everything that was obtained in addition to those archives, like an electric chair, was just.... all kinds of whoa.

My favorite room though, was the embalming room.
Displayed there were both current and antique embalmers' tools, a video of the process and anatomical highlights, death certificates, photographs of human specimen undergoing dissection, bones, embalmers' clothes and burial clothes, specially designed make up to counter the bruise tints in the grey skin, for open casket showing. And just so much stufffff. It was especially awesome for me because that's the job I'm going to be doing. 

It was difficult to contain myself from grabbing onto Fett or randomly hugging him every time we entered a new room. This was the coolest fucking thing ever. And he also had never been here before, so it was like double whoa.

Unfortunately, it was forbidden to capture photographs or video inside the tour. So, respectfully, I did not. However, on our way out I did grab a t-shirt at their little shop, and a neat $2 pin- which the dude totally let me have on the house! Score! Super nice of him ^^

I love my shirt.
It says 'Hollywood' underneath the heart, but that's nothing a pair of scissors and a sewing machine can't get rid of.

That wasn't the end of our day. Fett was all kinds of adventurous, and so we went to fill our bellies for lunch at none other than Hooters!

We both got the all you can eat wings thing, and the tater tots.

So. full.

omg.

We weren't dooone!

Next we went to a cute little hole in the wall place that sells collectors vintage toys and figurines! THERE WAS SO MUCH STUFF YOU GUISE, OMG. Fett was just throwing everything ever at me and just. omg.

Neato graffiti on the side of the building ^^

At first I wasn't sure if we were allowed to take pictures, but after a while I just didn't care anymore, lol.

 I wanted, like, basically all of the stuff in this shop.

 DO YOU SEE KIT FISTO IN THE BACK?! AND SHAAK TI?

AND BOBA FETT AND OOLA?!?!

 AAHHHH

 I WANT THE BANTHA TOO

 :OOO

 HNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG

  I have thiiiiissssssssss >:D
Bought it when the movie came out at my first job. Mwahahahha!!
Good to know it's worth $100 though, sheesh!

 hhhhhhhhnggggggggggggeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh

That was place so neat. It's probably the 3rd place I'll come to if I ever win the lottery and become a millionaire.

I had a death grip on Fett's arm to contain myself for some of this, I'm sure of it.

We weren't done.

He took us somewhere else that evening. On the way there he tells me that he wasn't sure which one he would take us to if we didn't have time to do both. He hinted something at me, and I chose the one that sounded like a nature hike.

It wasn't a nature hike, it was The Grove, lmao. The Grove to me sounds like .... a park with trees and a little hiking trail! There was a place just like that in San Francisco, lolol. But... it definitely did not mean it wasn't really pretty and fun to be in. :)

We got there just as the sun was going down, and everything was lighting up.
It was so lovely ^_^

There was a massive Barnes & Noble that we couldn't resist, and fell prey to the promotional rack of 'must have classics.' Our vanity got the best of us, and instead of grabbing those ugly, lack-luster, bargain, paper-back, floppy flops, we went out to seek the leather bound copies. And buy we did.

They match my room. 

Our purchase there finalized our evening at The Grove.

But not our night! lol

Apparently we did have time for his last surprise. 

Mini Golf!! 

Now, I've never been mini golfing before, let alone golfing. And I'm not gonna lie--the words 'mini golf' together sounded so dorky to me, lol. And it didn't seem like something I'd have much fun doing. I mean, it's a ball, and a stick, and you tap it to get it in the hole, right? (heeeehhh...)

But I was so wrong!! It is fun! You have to let your silliness soar, aaaannnd I totally did. 

In the parking lot we also ran into his friend that we had run into at Target a few weeks ago. He was accompanied by two other guys and we all chatted in the parking lot for a little. They caught up and stuff until we all headed towards the arcade. You guys it was so neattooo!! I felt like ... a kid... kinda. Like I used to do this stuff a long time ago when I had that big group of friends that all knew each other and lived close and stuff. It was really nice.

Unfortunately, my phone was dying-- it did well. It had a busy Monday. So Fett was nice enough to capture some stuff on his phone and send it my way :)

We were both terrible, but he was less terrible and thus kicked my ass. 

We weren't actually keeping score, but that's what it looked like. My dept perception is worse than I thought. And mini golf is hard! lol I enjoyed the challenge ^_^

And the nommy churro and water he got for me. Mmmmm churros and water.
Yums. Now I want a churro =\

So, This was Monday. It was a big ass Monday! We did so many things!! I was pooped when I got home. He stayed the night, and and and and and it was the best Monday ever. I was extra glad that I didn't have work at 4AM the next morning.

Tuesday night was the night that we were supposed to go meet Ponies and everyone at the Arclight, but because that didn't happen, and because I was being a massive fucking bitch, the night couldn't end sourly. It just couldn't. Fett doesn't deserve it, and as we set in front of his house to drop him off, I suggested we go get dinner instead. So we went, and had a nice time, and I was thankful to have him by my side. 

He picked the place, which turned out to be this super cute rock-a-billy style diner thing with adorable booths that appear to have car seats. It looked like something out of Grease, you guise. It was adorable. The place is called Fred 62. 

There we dined, and talked, and filled out bellies and enjoyed our evening. 

It was a huge bummer to me that we weren't able to go see Ponies that night, I think that's why I took it so hard. And he's never been to the Arclight. And they're both important men to me and wanted them to meet. But I'm sure there will be other times. We had yummy foods. I learned that Fett does not like sweet potato fries, lol. He got a yummy banana shake for dessert and I indulged in my raspberry lemonade. That place is really good, I recommend it. 

See what I mean about going out a lot more? I mentioned this briefly in my last vlog, lol. Definitely not something I did before, but it's tit for tat. And it's been really fun. This Fett guy rules. He's nudging me in a new direction in life, and it doesn't suck :3

"...there's such a lot of world to see"

Questions

   These use to run rampant on Deadjournal and Livejournal once upon a time.
Anyone remember those? Or used to keep one? I used to write religiously in my Deadjournal, every day after school, for years. Then I moved onto Livejournal, as more people seemed to be using. Then ... I started writing in here.

Anywho, I used to fill these out all the time. They're fun ways to pass the time, and probably just as entertaining for readers.

 I am very good at being mean because it's easy for me to disconnect myself from people and/or situations and be nothing but hyper-rational. It pisses people off when they are not appeased.

 Nope. It's just one of those easy way out of things in life that people do.

I'm sure it's possbile

Nope!

125. Do you believe in true love?
Love is felt in several different levels. You love your parents, you love your friends, your love your partner, your professors, your colleagues, your favorite restaurant.

150. Get the closet book next to you, open it to page 42, what's the first line on that page?
Noooo, I don't wanna get up =\

April/May is going to be crazy. I just took a look at my calendar and there's sooooooooooooo much happening. I'm actually missing quite a few days of work and a part of me feels like there's gonna be a talk coming from the boss to ask me to not take off as many weekends. Especially with my new added responsibilities.OH WELL. Gotta do what ya gotta do. I didn't realize how much time off I was taking until I looked at it today. That will be remedied.

It's really relaxing here at night. I should come by more often to write. 

Anyway, boring post is boring.
I got a new camera for filming, so YouTube things have been resumed.
See?

Okay. I'm sleepy. Time to split for sleepy things kinda. x_x

Booty

Lazy Sunday began early today. 

   Omg you guise it's been raining here more than L.A. has ever seen and I love it. It feels like an actual season that isn't gross!

This morning I woke up at Fett's. He split for work and I started my morning with a visit to my old work. My haggard ass needed it.

Nom, nom, nom!
Contrary to what some people say, I actually enjoy the caramel flan flavor. It's probably because growing up, my mom made us flan lol. I fucking love flan. Not the box shit; she'd make it all from scratch and it was effing delicious. I think the flavor comes pretty close.

I also got another package in the mail!

I got a new handheld with an old Zelda game. So I had to get a new Zelda game, duh. Thanks, Ebay! ^_^. Got it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than what they had at Fry's and Best Buy, so the guilt is less shitty.   Shhh.... let me enjoy this...


N E W    C H U R C H  |

My favorite club night was last night! I told myself I was gonna go no matter what, and that almost didn't happen, not surprisingly. But I mean it's once a month so... c'maaaaaahn. Cynthia, staaaaaahhp and just gooooooo, c'maaaaaahn..

So I went with BURHURMURRRRR. Also know as Bahemoth. It just sounds better as BURHURMURRRRR to me, idk. I hadn't seen the guy in forevs, and he's another sculpey user that likes tentacles. One day I'll be able to sculpt the way he does. TURNS OUT HE JUST DESTROYS THEM ONCE HE'S DONE, UGH. He cray. Despite my level of craft with my miniatures, there's plenty left to learn. There's always plenty to learn! YAY LEARNING (about things I like and not like.. math and stuff)

He does stuff, if you care.

So he came over and we chatted while I finished getting ready. He's helped me pick out finishing touches to my outfits in the past. I think it's because of his hair?

We were hungry because bananas. So in lieu of the circumstances and for reasons, Hooters seemed appropriate. Not that Hooters it not ever appropriate for everything ever, but that it was especially perfect for this occasion. Because boobies. and we ate like fat kids.

 There's a little history FYI on how Hooters started you guise.

1983... humble beginnings boobs..

 What about my 6 day old tongue piercing?

 Fuck it.

 Our waitress was probably the friendliest person I've ever spoken to in my entire life, ever.

Her name was Corbin ♡

She wrote it out exactly like this on a napkin for us in case we forgot. Which was totally reasonable because I totally would've. No thanks to her very ginormous manners and bouncy personality which coupled well with her super charismatic people skills. I totally would've forgotten.

BURHURMURRR wasn't impressed. Probably because he's such a BALLER look at him

Yeah. We left with full tummies and learned that there's actually a Hooters pageant thing that .... is real. Like a whole bunch of Hooters girls compete to be the best at.... something really useful to society, I'm sure, and get crowned and titled Miss Hooters. It's wonderful

Then we split for Le Club.
Originally we were gonna hit up Complex and Bar Sinister. He was gonna go to Bar Sin, and my plans were to just go to Complex, but..... it was unanimous that Bar Sinister is nauseating, and he decided that Complex would be the best choice; which it totally was. 

We danced our BOOTIES off. The best thing about these goth clubs is that you can flail all kinds of busted drunken hell and it's still fine and goes with the music, generally.

With this logic, my shyness was dormant this night, and the flailing commenced thusly.

Eating shit on wet concrete in the high maintenance shit stompers equipped upon my feetsies was one of my few expectations last night. 

Of course, I was let down.

Figures.

We had a good time though. He even got out on the dance floor with me and got jiggy.

We also went outside to take silly pictures.

MISTER BROODNESS BY A POINTY GATE ALL DRAMATIC AND SERIOUS.

I told him to pose and this is what he did.

He captured this in mid laugh. This wasn't erased off my phone because look at it.

I look like a total idiot, and he has Jim Carrey brows.

Omg you guise. The coolest thing ever is happening right now. I think Lauren is recording an audition in her room and she sounds really cool, lol.

... damn. lol.

She's a voice over actress so like... she's really good at it, haha. I've never heard her record an audition and I totally hope she doesn't mind me mentioning it XD

ANYWHO, we left once we felt that we satisfied the flailing status-quo. 

 He dropped me off, at which point I hauled ass into my apartment, straight into my bathroom, took off a ton of shit and drove over to Fett's and passed out. Which brings me to this morning's pixelated drivel. 

AND NOW I PRESENT TO YOU in the rawest form ever possible:  

Vanity. 

I JUST WANT BIG BEAUTIFUL DUCK LIPS

AM I DOING IT RIGHT 

The photo above this one was a little too serious

Gotta take it down a notch.

Also, day 7 of tongue piercing healing process! I can eat solids almost pain free :D

Concluding this post, I return to my day off to indulge in more of The L Word (for Shane, basically) and resume where I last left off on my Rogue. I hope everyone has a good weekend!

THIS ZELDA GAME IS GONNA BE AWESOME ^___^

Honeymoon

W A R N I N G :  THIS POST CONTAINS STRONG AMOUNTS OF GROSS EXPRESSIONS OF AFFECTION BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE.  

THIS CONTENT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE PDA OR ARE BITTER ABOUT LOVING RELATIONSHIPS THAT AREN'T ABUSIVE YET.

You guise, I got my tongue re-pierced on Sunday-- it's the most awful thing ever not being able to eat whatever I want. And I had just gotten groceries the other day. We're on Day 5 today, and though I am able to eat solids with more ease, the soreness lingers. It's more dominant on the left side of the bottom of my tongue, but it's less shitty than what it was on Day 1. 

I am stubborn and have been eating solids anyway.

Fett, Lauren, and myself revisited none other than Studio City Tattoo. This was where I had my septum pierced, twice, and now my tongue! Hooray! Turns out that Fett has become quite familiar with the artists who work there, and actually gave the piercer, Steve White, a heads up that we were going in to see him specifically for this piercing. He was generous and gave me a discount. I made sure he was well tipped, because he didn't have to do that whatsoever. 

We waited briefly until he called me back to the chair. I asked if Fett and Lauren could come back and watch, which he said was totally fine. 

I look like an ape. (Thank you Lauren for capturing this)

There was a teensy little anatomical thingie that concerned me a little bit. You see, I have a short tongue.

That's as far as I could pretty much stick my tongue out. I was expecting him to turn me away saying that it was too much of a risk, especially considering the placements of the arteries that travel through the tongue. Without much muscle to grip onto, and my jaw in the way of his hand leaving little room for leverage to guide the needle, I thought I was SOL. 

NOPE. Steve White's been piecing for 12 years and went in like a trooper. He did have the clamps extra tight though, but the placement was perfect, and further back than I thought possible.

It pinched- best way to describe it. Accidentally biting your tongue actually hurts more, in my experience. The best thing about this now is that once this heals entirely I can put in my jewelry in the piercing towards the front of my tongue, and have two ^_^

I can't =\

It's sore, yes. It's swollen, yes. But is it worth it? Yes. I love it, and I'm glad I did it!
Also I'm officially a part of management at work. Woohoo! I got the promotion, and I couldn't be happier. I was telling my boss how much it I appreciated him believing in me and looking past my appearance. Corporate America does not like the modified folks, nope nope nope. I realize that it wasn't just him making the decision or ultimately factoring in what is passable and what isn't, but he pushed for it, and it feels cool to say that I work for a corporate company and run the floor eyebrowless, sporting dreadlocks and an undercut, and a bunch of apparent holes in my face from several facial piercings. It's nice. 

MOVING ON |

So while Lauren and I were having one of our talks, she had said something to me about my relationship with Fett that stood out. She had said to me that we are still in our honeymoon phase. This was open ended to me, but it lingered in my mind. I told Fett, and so WE'VE TOTALLY BEEN DOING A HONEYMOON THING :D

We've been going out to dinners, and spending even more time together, because why not? And it's been great. 

One evening we were wandering around during some off hour of the evening and he led us to one of his favorite Thai places, "Gindi Thai Restaurant". I'd never been, and was thrilled to share this with him. 

Their food was delicious. 

They also had paper as their table mantle, and there was a little cup of crayons in the center for people to draw with! He doodled a big heart made out of these intricately placed sketched out lines, and I drew....

Hey Arnold's head.

It was a lovely evening.

A few days ago we also went shopping for some stuff after I was off work. Considering how we recently got our tax returns... we had to go get things.

We went to the Burbank Town Center for my 3DS, which I bought refurbished. 

It's in absolutely perfect working condition with no flaws. Looks new. Probably stolen and sold for cash? (I used to work for EB Games/Gamestop and we'd get shit like this all the time)
And I also got a pre-owned copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to play on it :D

I'M SO FUCKING STOKED YOU GUISE. It's one of my all time favorite games EVER. UGH.

Then we went to Fry's to pick up Fett's electronic, I guess you could say, replacement? His other one broke. They didn't have them there. So we were off to Best Buy. Nope.
Okay, let's try Target. 

He spots his friend there, and turns out they have them in! They're selling them for like $15 more than they were at Best Buy (they offered to order one for him and ship it out to him for free) but he gets it anyway. 

While there I learned that they work with Verizon for phone upgrades, and like... I can get the phone I want next week for $150 less than what's listed on the Verizon website, LOL?!?! Yeah.... I talked to the guy there and he was like LOL, PSHYEAH. THEY'RE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE ON THE WEBSITE, JUST GET EM HERE. AND I'M LIKE LOLALRIGHT.

 

So that's awesome. 

 

Oh, and then we went to get Sushi, I think the evening before yesterday?

 

 

This was... an obstacle for me. Ice water had never been so soothing to me, but it was worth it.

Fett suggested we have mochi ice cream. I thought he meant for us to leave and purchase some somewhere to take home and indulge on.

nope. :)

They offered it there! I had no clue they had that =\

It was delicious! And felt awesome, lol.

We also, some days ago, strolled around downtown Burbank in search for a gift for his mother.

This was incredibly fun for me because we ended up at Barnes & Nobles. She likes to cook, so perhaps a nice cook book? She also likes wine. So maybe a book about wine? 

We came across many fun books, and the ones about Ramen flirted with me in the most cruel ways ever. UGH.

 

 

This is a thing. The descriptions are gross and hilarious at the same time. It was awful.

I'd buy it.

And finally, two nights ago when we got here after dinner, just as he was about to split for home that night, he takes out a piece of paper, folded hard shell taco style, and set it on my bed saying "this is something for you. you can read it whenever, at your leeeeiiisuure" 

He stressed "at your leisure" by saying it again to make sure I knew it wasn't a thing. I took him seriously and for a moment thought it was a document I had forgotten at his place at some point or something of the sort.

I open it (here it comes, I warned you) to find that this is far from some stupid piece of paper I left at his place. This is random as random gets, and possibly the most honeymoon thing ever, and it reads;

    My dear Cynthia,

      I was going to send you another message, but I felt the need to give you something tangible, something that you can hold as a confession of my feelings for you. Isn't it strange how something as insignificant as a piece of paper can mean so much? The same goes for ink. It is even stranger to think what can come of them when they are combined. You wrote to me on Christmas. And that feeling that rushed over me reading that is something that could only be felt, not described. I adore you. 
We first hung out at Denny's. You subtly began sparking my interest in you there. The way you thought, spoke, laughed, smiled, moved, looked at me was all so exciting to me. Then at the views, I wanted to see how you were outside of a confined setting, such as a restaurant. While driving around and seeing your reaction to each individual place that I took you to, I realized that I just had to show you everything I possibly could. Then I took you to the pier. I wanted to see how you were in a populated setting. The surprises continued. Though we weren't officially dating at the time, I felt a sense of pride being seen with you. I felt so proud that you were there, with me. The small thing of pretending to lift you on the side of the pier was a small test to see just how you would react. If you reacted negatively, then I knew there were no feelings, but you didn't. You reacted kindly and openly to it. And I'm so glad you did. Seeing your reaction to that place was so rewarding. Your genuine happiness, wonder, and excitement further developed my wanting to show you more spectacles. I wanted to share all of my experiences with you. So I did. And you continued to be amazed and excited, and so happy. I really can't explain how rewarding that is. 
As cliché as it is, your smile makes me feel happy. It makes me feel that I have done so much right for you. And it just furthers my desire to do so (already crying, btw). When I surprised you with the Cirque du Soleil show, and you started crying; it was the first time ever that I felt the emotion I did at that moment. I was so happy, so beyond any other time that I can ever recall. I would have never wanted to share a moment like that with anyone but you. 

[REMOVED]

Then, the night that I was telling you all the things I liked about you, and you told me to hold back my words; I realized that things don't need to be said when they are already displayed. That is something that was new to me. I always thought that the two should go hand in hand, but when a feeling is being displayed so strongly, then words are unneeded, especially one as commonly used as Love. I really wish there was a better, less contaminated word to use for what I feel for you (dying). From the times you don't feel beautiful in your own skin, from the times you feel like a burden to me, from the times you try to push me away; I want to be there for you. With your past, your faults, your perfect imperfections, I want all of it. I want you to be able to see yourself as I see you. Because honestly, I think you’d be stricken with such amazement, just as I am every day. I adore you, Cynthia; far more than any words on a page can begin to describe.

YEP, I WARNED YOU.

I feel so undeserving of this, because no one (of my exes) has gone out of their way to express their affections to me to this degree. It overwhelmed and humbled me to the core.
This seriously feels like some straight up Disney shit, ya'll.
Which reminds me... I can probably get a pass soon.

yeah.
OKAY.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY, AND HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Vk

    I finally got a sparkly, new external hard drive today. Frackin stoked for it to arrive. It's one less thing on my list to upgrade on my little girl. I'm also getting to the point where I think I need a new keyboard and mouse. They work fine but the keys on my keyboard, albeit fucking blue and sexy, are getting worn. The most complaints I have are from Fett and Lauren having the privilege to use my computer and then having difficulty finding the right keys. (I don't think they learned home-row!)

DID ANYONE PLAY "MARIO TEACHES TYPING 2" WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER?
That shit gave me the leet home row skills. I'm just saying.


The other night Fett and I played Cards Against Humanity, just us two.
As dorky as it sounds, it was pretty fun, and it worked! I am proud to say that as much of a dick Fett can be, I sincerely made him flinch uncomfortably several times with my combinations, and it felt awesome.
The last card that was played he used his "children with ass cancer" card. I appreciated it and laughed with abandon.

When we both drew cards that we couldn't decide on, we'd put them in the tie pile. And I took pictures of them.

 His card is on the right.

There were much worse ones, but his cards weren't up to par so they were my automatic wins >:D
Tonight we're playing here with Lauren and Fett's friend. I'm gonna get my offensive game on!


K so now that my last commission is comfortably in his home, I can show the final pictures!

I think I may have mentioned how much of a pain in the ass his legs were before, but allow me to reiterate how much of a pain in the ass his legs were.

This was right before baking. A naked little piggie.
For a little bit there I couldn't figure out how to sit him up because .... he doesn't sit up lol.
And when I'd lay him on his side, because the polymer was still soft, the wings would get fucked and bend inwards and it made me sad. 

Figured it out. I was so relieved that I took a picture, lol.

ISN'T IT SO CUTE!?!?!? UGH

The artist that did the painting is Michael Summers. I looked him up on Facebook and found several other paintings he did of flying pigs, which I used as a reference.

It's very surreal. If you wanna take a looksie, here's his FB!

Also, a very very special girlie who I've known (via social networking) for the last 5 years has generously set up a Vk.com account for Noob Charms! Her name is Kora Rex. She lives in Ukraine and has a ton of tricks up her sleeve, not to mention how beautiful she is. And.... is a Virgo. 

(It's a thing we do.)
For all my Russian readers, that's the place for you to seek out more info, as she kindly translated a lot of what is on my F.A.Q page here to there. I will shortly be announcing a new way of ordering commissions through my Etsy page- which is terribad and ugly right now so don't look at it. And will be offering international shipping because I need to get over it and just do it and talk to people at the post office. I'M SORRY.

I HAVE A MILD SOCIAL ANXIETY, HOKAY? GHAD.

:D ahkay.

Fett and I are hungry. We're off to seek the foods.
