I am just posting this in the hopes that some ladies are reminded that this week's theme is costume week!!!! Dress up if you wanna participate in the action.

I had fun dressed as a minotaur and there have been a couple of other shows this week too!

xo. zzz...

sapph

I’ve been sleeping a lot. I think I’m depressed again.

Last night I tried to watch the movie The Impossible and I lasted about 15 minutes before I fell asleep and drooled all over Blake’s belly. That was around 8pm. Then I got up at 4:30am for work and actually started early because my pancreas is bugging me (dunno why this time) and I wanted to go back to bed as soon as possible. So at 7:45am I went back to sleep and had the craziest dream about evil, pot smoking fairies that I wish I could remember and write down because it would have been fucking GOLD, very de Lint…

…FUCK. Blake’s aunt died and now we probably have to go to Militiagan for the week. FUCK FUCK FUCK. It’s not that I have anything AGAINST Militiagan, it’s that I really really hate working from another location. I’m also on the rag and Lunapads aren’t exactly travel-worthy. Ugh. This suuuuuuuuuuucks. (It’s not an aunt he was particularly close to or anything, I’d never even heard of her until today. She’s his cousins’ grama.)

UGH.

UGH.

UGH.

I can’t afford to pay for roaming on my phone right now either. If I’m roaming, does playing Pocket Frogs count as data usage?

Now I’m in a shitty mood. I was in a perfectly fine mood until Blake messaged me with this. Now my dream is 100% out of my brain and into the ether because he made me think about real life things. FUCK.

…And the vice principal just called and Madison’s exam on Thursday is drama, which is a play, so she can’t make that one up so if we go, she’s staying home. This is fucking bullshit. Fuck this, I’m not going. If we can’t all go, I say we send flowers since it’s not even a close relative and call it a day. It’s not like we can afford to go anyway.

UGH.

BUT! My wonderful friend, Miss Manda Leigh, found me THESE gorgeous things on eBay just now, in my size, which Blake told me to purchase and have sent to his mom’s house (because they didn’t ship internationally). They are Doc Martens so you know they’re good and that they’ll fit perfectly. Behold:

I loves them.
I loves them so fucking much.
I could kick someone’s fucking ass in these.
I knew if I put it out there someone would see something awesome!
Crowd-sourcing FTW!

….And Blake and I have decided to just send flowers to the funeral home and call it a day. THANK GOD. This was getting complicated and stressful. I had to take 2 clonazepam just to answer the phone when the vice principal called who A) should have called Blake’s cell instead of our house, which is the # he left on her voicemail and B) who fucking told Madison about the funeral, who had NO IDEA, and so she texted Blake 300 times while he was in a meeting wondering who died. THANKS, VICE PRINCIPAL FUCKFACE. YOU’RE SWELL.

I have done so much screaming today my throat is literally sore, both from being extremely frustrated with life and also from being excited about shoes. Today is definitely a bittersweet day.

I’m really bummed about losing that dream. It was the kind of dream that was so good, so interesting, that you force yourself to go back to sleep to keep having it. And now it’s gone. Thanks a lot, universe.

Now I’m going to go find food and wrack my brain for dream details. Have a lovely day.

So, as quite a few of you may have noticed (since I was raving pretty heavily over the weekend) I had an eventful Saturday evening. Why you may ask? .................

International Ice Hockey my friends. Team Canada vs. Team USA to be exact. So basically, they've been planning this exhibition match for a few years and they finally made it happen. I have had my tickets since January, eagerly awaiting Saturday!
Ice Hockey isn't very common here (we do have a few indoor ice rinks etc but generally speaking...most Australian's have never even seen snow letalone ice skated or seen a real live ice hockey match! ha) - even the AIHL is barely more than 10 years old and only has something like 9 teams.

I HAD A BLAST! Froze my arse off, yelled, screamed, cheered, holy moley! Makes me want to move to North America even more!!

They played 2 matches here in Melbourne (one Friday, and one Saturday) and will be playing again in Sydney next weekend to decide best of 3. The match I saw was a draw which instead of going into over time they did a shootout --------------> USA won!!
There is an ice arena already in Melbourne that they use for AIHL matches but it was too small so they used a footy oval and iced it over just for this. I heard a few people saying it looked smaller than a regulation NHL arena but not having seen one in real life myself, I couldn't tell you!!

They've already announced they will be back next year as it was such a huge success - although there is a lot of negativity all over social media here accusing it of all being set up, that fights were staged and the players didn't really give a shit. To be perfectly honest, the aim was to PROMOTE the sport and it certainly did that! Not to mention the fact that most of these guys have finished their seasons, and probably wouldn't risk any serious injury etc in what is simply an *exhibition match* - seriously, people are so butthurt haha
Although Konopka did break his hand.

Anywho, here are some pics and links if anyone is semi-interested
ENJOY! xoxoxoxoxoxxo
(first time uploading photos in a blog....if I phucked up please help haha!!)

Here is the roster if anyone is curious: http://www.internationalicehockey.co...013-roster.pdf

These are some of my own pictures and I also grabbed some other rippers I could find around the place from the night that were a little closer up.

On Thursday I had a pretty crazy panic experience.

Blake and I went to the mall because I needed new shoes. Because the summer shoes I have are literally 15 years old and falling apart. I got them at Holman’s Shoes, which was an independent shoe store, in Uxbridge when Madison was less than a year old so I could go to an $80,000 wedding with my then-boyfriend.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Pardon the dog hair. Uh, we have dogs. They shed. Yadda yadda.

This is what my old shoes look like and if anyone has ever seen shoes like these online anywhere PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. Since I only buy shoes every decade and a half, money is pretty much no object.

In case the photos are unclear, the soles are rubber with what used to be suede inside (where it says “marie claire 7″) and the upper part is leather.
I am obviously a size 7. (In this shoe, 7.5 in others.)

So anyway, the goal was to find the exact same kind of shoe at the mall. Except I hadn’t been in a shoe store in a really long time and I think the fact that in a shoe store sales people HAVE to help you and they’re pretty pushy about it threw me into full blown panic after about 3 stores with me being unable to breathe or even see properly and sweating profusely. We had to go to the food court where I sat in a chair and cried while tweeting fiercely and Blake got me dinner. I took like, 8 Ativan over the course of 20 minutes and composed myself and the search for shoes began again.

After looking at every shoe store in the mall, I found a pair in a shoe store that were “okay” but not the same but I needed shoes so I settled for them and we proceeded to go home. Payless Shoes happens to be across the road from the mall so I said to Blake that we should look there just in case and I actually found shoes there that were better than the $100 ones we’d just purchased for $20 and they’re…passable. I don’t like them, they’re not the same (have I ever mentioned that I really really don’t like change?), they’re too light and I feel like they don’t want to stay on my feet but I needed them so that’s what I got. Behold…

Since they were only $20, Blake said I could get this snazzy hat that I don’t have pictures of and he also said that we could keep looking for the same shoes as I had before so PLEASE, if you know of a place online that has shoes like my old ones, for the love of kittens and all that’s holy, let me know!!! I’m desperate!!!

So that was Thursday…

Then nothing happened until Saturday but due to the nature of what happened on Saturday and the fact that Madison probably wouldn’t appreciate me posting about it, I won’t say, but basically shit hit the fan pretty bigtime. Everything’s okay now though and we’re all one big happy family again and that’s all that matters.

Now I’m going to make steak and read the rest of my Walking Dead comics because guess what? It’s my day off and I don’t have to give a single fuck today!

OH! Speaking of not giving fucks, I am absolutely OBSESSED with this game on my phone called Pocket Frogs. Have you heard of it? IT IS SO STUPID. You catch and breed frogs. And sell them. And that’s basically the whole game. Here’s a screencap:

That screencap was taken a few days ago so I’m probably higher than level 5 now and I think I have 5 habitats, but it is SO addictive. I don’t even know why. If you play too and you know how to play together, let me know and we can send each other frogs!

Anyway, that’s all the poop that’s fit to scoop. I’m outta here!

Kicking off costume week here I decided to pull out my Sailor Mars costume!!

For those of you that aren't anime familiar with the character, Sailor Mars is from the manga/anime Sailor Moon a story about a band of reborn defenders of the Solar System. It was the first anime I ever watched at the tender age of 13 and Im pretty sure the short skirts and fighting scenes where everyone sounds like they are having an orgasm have shaped me in to the woman I am today.

For those of you that are familiar...please picture the 15 minutes it took me to get into this costume as this:
SAILOR MARS MAKE UP!

I had a lot of fun with this show!!

I cant wait to spend the rest of the week posting costume picture...not of Sailor Mars... I have lost of other costumes. I also cant wait to see everyones shows!!

I was going to be at a music festival as per my last post.. that didn't end up being the case it seems.

They ended up not being able to go and I wasn't really feeling it either so.. /shrug
My friends and I are still gonna hang out this weekend, though. Which is awesome because one of them in particular is only out here for a short stint before she heads to New Zealand for work soon! She'll be gone a while I believe.

I got to go shopping today. That was a lovely treat.. You see, I had to get some lotions and smell-good-stuffs and something sexy to wear on my trip to Vegas in a couple weeks!! I went to Bath and Bodyworks and then I hit up Victoria Secret because both were having their semi annual"get-rid-of-all-the-old-things" sales. Lucky me, I got to feel the last day of that journey to hell. I'm not really complaining, retail therapy is my jam but there were so many rude and unsavory people. I got to wait in line at VS for 25 minutes just to try on a sexy little something. The dressing room was rotten-hot. I was melting waiting in line and as soon as I got into my dressing room I couldn't get nekkid fast enough. I was so sweaty I felt like I was an onion, slowly peeling herself. (Okay, it wasn't that bad. It was pretty bad but.. not that bad. Also, a self peeling onion is slightly a hilarious and frightening mental image. I wish I had patience to draw that one for you guys, it's golden in my head.) My sexy little something fit me wonderfully, though! I really cannot wait to show it off for the gentleman friend of mine that is taking me! It fits like a glove. A sexy glove. I want to share it with you guys too! It's amazing.. I would share it with you right now but my gentleman friend is a member here on CWs, and that would just ruin the surprise!

I want to drop hints on what color it is, what kind of cut.. I just can't!
Maybe after Daddy gets to see his present in Vegas he'll let me share it with you guys?

Sunday was awesome. Definitely one of the best days of the year so far.

On Sunday morning, we left for The Sketchbook Project Tour in Toronto, in a gated off area of a neighbourhood called The Distillery District. It’s a fancy schmancy little area with a friggin’ Fluevog store (gooooooood I want these) and various other expensive little boutiques. This would be my first time there.

The Sketchbook Project Tour is exactly what it sounds like; the books of the participants of The Sketchbook Project 2012 are being taken on tour across the US of A and Toronto and then when it’s over, they’ll be permanently housed at the Brooklyn Art Library in NYC.

I bought a book last year and meant to participate but between being sick and dealing with nurses and doctor’s appointments and being in the hospital, surgery etc. I never wrote or drew a single line in my book. I still have it and I’ll use it at some point and after I do, I’ll send it to NYC to join the collection. My “class”, so to speak. But the kids finished their books and so did my mom and John so that’s why we went down, to check out everyone’s books and maybe find some cool ones on our own, too.

I hadn’t signed up this year because I’ve never finished a book and since I failed so hardcore last year, it just didn’t seem like a good use of money. However looking at all the finished sketchbooks on the tour, some of which were really cool…

(Click here to see a bigger version of this.)

…and having finished the Memoir Project a couple of months ago, I bought the sketchbook that is guaranteed to tour the northeast and paid for digitizing. I guess the project’s gotten big enough that they can only cart around so many books so they only guarantee your book will tour a specific area, which sucks if you have family and friends everywhere, but I understand why it has to be that way. It’s also a numbers game, if they get as many participants as they did last year, then all the books will go everywhere, but patterns show that’s not the case, that it grows every year, so that’s why they’re doing it this way.

I also got this book by the guys who created the Sketchbook Project:

It’s basically just a book of prompts. Some are really really good, some are pretty dumb, but I figure if I find myself still with an empty book in November (the deadline is January) I’ve got options. And part of me is actually really tempted to do the whole book from beginning to end IN the book. Because the pages are like this:

The very first page of the book asks you to decide if this is a sketchbook or if this is not a sketchbook. I’m thinking of ticking off “this is a sketchbook”. But I guess I should work on the little one before I get any grandiose ideas.

So we went to the Sketchbook Project “mobile library”, which is like a customized trailer, got our library cards and checked out “our people’s” books first since we hadn’t seen my mom’s yet and I didn’t think Blake saw the kids’. We also all participated in the on-site version of The 4×6 Exchange. Then I tweeted, with one of the SBP Toronto hashtags, for people to tell me their names if they think I should check out their books. Then we went to this fancy restaurant called Mill St. Pub (I think) where everyone had a good time and after our meal, I checked my phone again and a few people had suggested I check out their books, so we went back to the mobile library and we checked out those books, which were all pretty cool and then we came home.

I dunno about anyone else in our party, but all the way home, I was buzzing. First, I was inspired as fuck. Second, that is the exact kind of “good day” I’m talking about that I want not just me, but our whole family, to have more of. I came home in such a good mood and it’s 2 days later and I’m still in a good mood. In fact, a few hours ago I had a REALLY good idea for a story, which is a rare occurrence. And I wrote it down in my sketchbook because that’s the paper I had laying around when the idea happened.

And so it begins…

Hello Everyone!!!!
Hope you are doing good !
Sorry for not blogging for a long time...
It is finally summer but unfortunately it is raining here pretty often

As soon as weather becomes better, i will be trying to record sexy video on the beach close to the river, i hope to find not much people there because i am planning to get very very naughty

It's hard to say how far i can go.... but i wish till the end

My hair is getting long and I'm really starting to feel all sassy and minx-y when I style it or even let it dry wavy. I'm super excited about this but my ends are terrible and split. It is, unfortunately, time for a cut- a generous trim at the very least. If I need to have a generous cut, I might just go short again for the summer. I know I can rock short hair, the idea is exciting as I'm starting to lose patience with the length I have and the desert heat is less than desirable. However, I am still pouty and disappointed at the idea of such a thing! Poop. :/

I'm going to a music festival next weekend! I am excited! My friends and I will be camping throughout the three night shindig..
I have a list to make! I need to check it twice! I need to bring stuff like blankets and ice! Er.. something like that.
I should at least bring myself some vegan noms and my friend some gluten free noms. Ideally, I would like to hit both of those birds with one stone.

Those are my late night/early morning thought bubbles. Oh, the silly things that keep me awake. Okay, so these thoughts are not entirely responsible for me being up late- I have a lovely male friend I am spending time with via Skypes and I have an episode of Game of Thrones awaiting my attention..I digress. I am all over the place. Obviously.

Hope that was a decent update? I know.. I'm a terrible updater. :/

Night!

Ok so I've spew days attempting to get my main PC back up. She hangs at the MB post screen (after the single beep) I updated the BIOS an she started up fully once. Now this means Im done with the aggravation and am just going to upgrade. Ive decided to start off with this MB ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=A455-2035 ), this CPU (giving me some upgradable options down the line) ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...4&Sku=I69-3330 ), and this RAM ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...9&Sku=C13-6162 ). My video cards Im going to recycle for the time being. And Im unsure on what PSU I should move to.
