SMP

There is a party to help me raise money to go:

Barrie Conquers Japan!!! :D 


But... some folks have asked for a way to donate since they can't make it to the party. So please, if you would like, donate through paypal:

Thank you all so much!
 

Good times. ;)

I am putting this behind a cut because it is LONG. It's 14 days worth of rambling. 

( Europe!!!! Pictures soon... )

( More behind the cut. ^.~ )</div>

I am uber busy today, but I am FULL of energy. wtf?

It's like I am full of sugar or something. It's retarded. Normally about this time I am drooling on my desk. Hurray for being more energetic, I guess? Crazy sauce...

Finished Eddy's jacket last night for the Steampunk Ninja costumes last night. Pictures will be up of us in the outfits eventually. :)

So I had a awkward experience this morning.

I am a morning person, the boyfriend is not... in the slightest... at all. I pop up like a daisy at 8am even with out an alarm, he normally will drag himself out of bed like a zombie at noon on the weekends. It's kind of adorable, but I digress.

Because of this fact, I get up with our puppy, Jericho, every morning and do our morning routine and Eddy will put him to bed because he stays up later.

I let him out to use the bathroom, feed him, play with him, and let him follow me around as I get ready. Well, he's gotten so good with going out to do his business and coming straight back in, I don't have to go out with him anymore, I can just stand by the door and wait. So I have gotten lazy and have just been going down in my panties and bra so I can let him out sooner, not have to get completely dressed every morning before he gets to go out. It's out the back door, there is not a soul on that back walkway at that time in the morning, lots of trees for cover from the other apartments, so I feel safe to just poke my head out.

All of this to explain that this morning, in all my matching crimson red panties and bra combo glory (at least it was a sports bra) when I let the puppy out, just at that moment a maintenance guy for our apartment complex was walking right by the door. Jericho being a good guard dog that he is (sigh) immediately alerted me there was a guy a few feet away by barking his head off. Well this also let the guy know we were there too, and made him look in our direction. I matched the color of my underwear at that moment and immediately dove behind the door. I smiled a little and said, "Good Morning!" and gave a wave. I knew he saw, and he knew that I knew. Nothing needed to be said other than an exchange of greetings.

Needless to say from this point on I am wearing a robe to go down stairs in the morning.

Going to be on a panel as a Ninja at Dragon*Con this year. Go Ninja Go Ninja Go. I have promised a dear friend that if I am asked for wise advise from a Ninja, I would say this quote,"Wise man say- Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza."

Cookie to who ever knows that quote. From one of my favorite things ever. ^.~

Finishing up the steampunk ninja outfits, pictures when they are done. Uber proud of these. They will be done in time for con. Uber excited.

I have lost 30 pounds since January, and I am the same weight I was when I got back from boot camp, but I am having a fluffy day for some reason. God, being female is ridiculous sometimes. >.<

My advisor from Georgia State sent me an e-mail the other day. Still in school to be a doctor, just took a little more time off from it after the Airforce flop and divorce. Needed to get some personal stuff in order. I am ready to get back to it though. I will eventually have PhD after my name..... eventually. lulz. o.o....

Modeling is going well. There was a bit of a lull- but I have another big gig in September to film another video for the women's self defense studio in Sarasota. Full contact and I actually have to defend myself with the specific moves they provide. Though it is exciting and I love it, I have to keep my self from brawling with the guy. I am a boxer, and stronger than the average girl. I fight like a guy. I have to remember not actually deck the guy when he lunges at me. It's hard to just pin the guy into tapping out. >.<

Been wrestling on occasion too with Sleeper Kid's World. Lots of fun, and I keep meeting really cool girls doing it. All about meeting new people. ^^

So life is trucking along. Finances fluctuate, but I have a steady 9-5 that pays the bills. I do the extra stuff to have a life outside of work. Though I feel like I am changing and getting some new experiences under my belt. I'll be 25 in February and have decided I am going to do something big for my birthday. Don't know what yet. Suggestions?

I am excited for Dragon*Con, yet frazzled with sewing projects. Looking forward to actually being able to have fun this year. I'm a grunt this year, not a room runner. When I am off shift, I am REALLY off shift. >.<

Whoo!

Grack....ah... **flop**

So, I am exhausted. Eddy and I adopted a puppy on Sunday. Wow, a 2 month old puppy is more like parenthood than I realized. Especially waking up at zero dark thirty in the morning because he puked on my pillow and the bed. Yay! o.O

He is a good puppy all in all. He's smart, very mild tempered but very playful. He already has the house training down and will hold it all night till I let him out in the morning. All of this at 2 months old. Pretty cool dog. :)

Modeling seems to be taking off. Going through the motions of trying to keep up my appearance is a bit of a pain in the ass. Like my nails, hair, keeping my face clear and my eyebrows in check, legs shaved... Little maintenance things most girls do, but I kind of let slide most of the time. I am such a guy sometimes. But, I've learned quickly that it's easier and faster to just keep it up than have to run home and rush through it all because I have a unexpected shoot/interview. Baaa... being a girl is the devil.

I've been writing, but with my 9-5, my technically 2nd job, house still needing the final unpacking touches and now a new puppy... well... writing inspiration has been there, just I haven't had the time to sit down and empty my head into word. I have one story that the only person irl that would be interested in hearing about it doesn't want to hear any spoilers and wants to read it when I'm finished. Blah... I really do need to break down and get a beta. -.-

I need to go clothes shopping now too. My pants wont stay up and some of my shirts are getting loose enough to show my bra through my arm holes. -.- **piss and moan, piss and moan**

Other than random grumbles, my life is doing well. I am happy. :)
