Weekend Update
HI TO THE NEW FRIENDS FROM THE AVATAR MEME :D I have an intro post somewhere but I don't think it's finished yet. Whoops.
Friday: spent pretty much the entire day making the lining for my new messenger bag. It took ages, but it's done, and it looks AWESOME. I made a few construction mistakes (from not taking good enough notes), but now that I see how this is actually put together, I won't make them again if I redo the bag. I also got a notice that my copy of A Game of Thrones came into the library. Yes!!!hopefully i don't find it boring this time because i need to read at least up to a clash of kings before april
Saturday: went to the library to pick up the book. They made me change my library card to the ugly new design. I like the old one* much better, it was so simple and clean, and matched all the signage on the library branches. >:| The new card itself is also much thicker and just ... ew. But at least they let me keep my old card.
*The old card actually has the blue stripe on top, and a bar code with the card number where that blank space is. I couldn't find a picture of the old card; that's as close as I got. But tell me I'm right, artfags: the old card had a better design, yes?
Went into the city with Es to meet Kendra and talk about Hetalia Day stuff. Just what we need to do, what I might have missed, and who else could be a coordinator. Shannon showed up, so we just kinda bullshitted for the longest time (since we had no interest in asking her about modship), and that was pretty awkward. The misunderstanding was cleared, we got the shit done that we needed to do, ate lots of food along the way,i bought a new canucks shirt i have a problem and got Burger King crowns.
The weather killed me, though: halfway home, I started sniffling, sneezing, and coughing like no one's business, and I had a headache that had plagued me since mid-afternoon that was getting worse. Es practically carried me home. I drugged myself and went to sleep. At least I'm feeling better.
Today: SAAAAAAAAALE at Michaels, with 20% off of everything, 40% off of one thing, and 40% off of one piece of baking supplies. I got the yarn that I needed for the giant scarf I'm crocheting (yeah. Even with the discount, the yarn was expensive but it feels like bunnies), and I got a pretty new giant baking sheet that my mother doesn't know exists (because I couldn't find the cookie cutters I wanted. There were no loose ones and I need a rectangle. Rectangle, not fucking squares (though a square is a rectangle with equal sidesit's also a rhombus with equal angles venus shut up)! Do I really have to wait until 4th of July next year for a flag-shaped one? ._.). But the baking sheet: it is mine and mine alone and I will make many cookies. Also, parchment paper, so I don't ruin the damned thing. So happy~ Es got some fabric paint she needed and a good pair of lefty scissors.
We had Taco Bell for lunch laksjdlkasdjlkasjdl Fiesta Potatoooooes and cherry Pepsiiii. At Michaels: Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I love you for those, Starbucks. LOVE. ♥
Tomorrow: self!practicing dansu and working on the outer shell of the messenger bag (and pics!). I'll probably just wind up cutting out the pieces and calling it a day because that takes ages for some reason, and I haven't really done dansu in forever.
...it's after midnight. I should probably have dinner.
