The positive post
Feb. 17th, 2008 08:19 amI needed to vent some of that stuff but now the good things going on....
Blackstone! I am so entirely pumped up about this event. Possibly I shall be singing for the king and Al Trent and I are going to put a set together. We have been debating instrumentation and songs and the like for a week solid and due to Al's brilliant thought about ventrilio we will be doing some group rehearsals (they are in NC in two different areas) and should be able to get the harmony lines worked out. If this works I really want to continue with it and pull some stuff together for Ashton's and maybe more. It's wonderful to be able to talk techy music theory again. I have also put together a writing case that any scribe would envy (well I would love more inks and wax and actual paper but it's super cool!). Fear the power of my IG pen. I am debating driving myself down alone though as it seems to be the only way to get the guitar and ballista down. details forthcoming about that as I need to check with my rides.
Josh and I picked out registry stuff yesterday. It's a wish list but they talked us into fine china and I love the pattern we picked out. It's a white plate with a cobolt blue stripe and silver filigree on the edge. My goal once we get the house is to entertain and host a holiday, probably starting with Thanksgiving but in a few years I want to do Christmas dinner. I want to have a very warm and open house and make it a refuge during the holidays.
I've been doing some sewing and finishing some projects. I have an unboned bodice almost complete, it needs lacing rings and the last bit of bias tape sewn down right now. Then if I have time I want to appliqué a design on the chest, probably a green rose and harp (black background) as this is for Koren to cover the blue corset/armor. I am also relining the sleeves of my dark blue gown to show a primary green. The blue is quite dark and reads nearly black. I have slippers that match the green and a green and silver belt for the dress so this should tie it all together.
I also bought more stripy socks. Black and white over the knee and another black and green striped knee socks with a padded foot. Woot for gothy comfy socks.
Josh has been wonderful this weekend. I know I am a bitch but he's been supportive, patient and listened. And he helped me buy a microphone. Yay! Things will get better, time will help. And it's a short week (I took Friday off). By 8-9 pm Friday I should be getting hugs from friends, meeting up with friends I have not seen in years and making brand new ones. Plus beating on people with my padded weapon and Koren has asked Death to tell her a tale. :-) Should be most amusing, especially as I have other plans as well. Evil ones. ;-)
