Lord of the rings stuff.
Mood:

Damn... they're probably a month away from making Galadriel's circlet. That's probably the only other piece of LOTR "jewelry" I want besides their costumes. Speaking of which, I went online and grabbed some of my fave dresses, two of which (the Arwen red dress and Eowyn's wool dress I would LOVE to someday have re-created for me). So here go some pixies!

This is the "Blood red dress". I don't remember if it made it into the final cut but there it is, stunning *drools*. I COULD potentially make it myself, I've been doing a lot of reading about it, but in the end what I'll probably end up doing is collecting the fabric and having someone else make it for me.

This is the other awesome dress. I love the simple style of it. There's another blue one she was wearing that I like as well, but this one is just so perfect looking.

This is Galadriel's "Welcome" dress. I think it's beautiful but a little elaborate. Might make a good wedding dress though.

This is Arwen's TTT "Farewell" dress. It's a dress with an overcloak, VERY beautiful and ornate. Another favourite although a bit impractical to be worn more than once if I ever had this made.

This is Arwen's "Rose Angel" dress which unfortunately NEVER made it into the movie (maybe in the director's cut of TTT?). But it's STUNNING and possibly the most practical dress (besides Eowyn's gown). I'd love to have this one made as well.

Note: If you want to see these pix outside of the borders of my site grab it with your mouse and drag it up to the little "Address" bar on your browser. It'll come up in a blank window.

I also have some faves from Star Wars, the rainbow dress (SW II), Padme's blue surface outit from SW I, her senator outfit from SW II and her nightgown outfit from SW II but I'm too lazy to grab the pixies so I might do it some other time.

9:42 p.m.

Gd I'm tired. It's really hot outside all of a sudden so today really wore me out. I also did 2 designs and some banners, tomorrow I'm doing another design and even MORE banners. I hate banners *makes a face*.

I talked to Mr.Wright today, oh gd, he's so weird. He starts off the conversation by telling me that he hadn't gotten laid in over 8 months and it's getting to him, I was like, aha... then he asks me if I get hit on a lot. I was about to say "Yes I do, by people like you, why do you think I avoid guys?" But I'm not going to be mean and he's somewhat simpleminded and I don't make fun of simpleminded people who actually mean well. He doesn't have a bad bone in his body, he just doesn't KNOW any better, which is odd because you'd think he'd learn by now, but no, he's incapable of learning, it's weird but true.

So then he asks me "So DA, when was the last time YOU got laid?" I told him I wasn't going to answer a question that obviously involves other people I respect. Besides, he has a mouth the size of a football field and I didn't want my name coming up in a foreign conversation somewhere attatched to some lude comment.

That's one thing that bugged me about him (and bugs me still), he spills his private life left and right to anyone who's willing to listen.

Then he annoyed me some more by being his gross self and commenting on this he shouldn't and at one point I asked him what happened to his neighbour (whom he was fucking) and he said, "Oh, I had to quit when she told me she wants to be with multiple partners, she wasn't worth the money in condoms." I almost puked. He seems to have like ZERO respect for women, all he wants is someone to have sex with. And like I said, I'd normally brain someone like that but that's the way he IS. He's not trying to be lude, or mean or inconsiderate he just doesn't THINK about it and never will.

Finally Red came online and we talked a bit about him and I told him what he was saying. Red just told me he'd say weird stuff in front of his parents sometimes like he'd say stuff like, "So Red, where's your woman?" Or stuff about himself like, "Oh eyah, my woman and me." I told him I know he does that, and Red said it's embarassing. I thought that was funny but it IS true.

I better go make some popcorn. In retrospect though, he reminded me why I stay away from most people. Not that I needed a reminder but talking to him now (after a few years) REALLY opened my eyes as to how much I've CHANGED. Back then he wouldn't have bugged me as much. I guess admittedly I've become somewhat of a feminist, but can you blame me? When you're surrounded by jerks like that (aware jerks or unaware jerks -- like Mr.Wright), who disrespect women at every corner, you DO want to string them up by their balls.

11:55 p.m.

Eight problem free hours, EIGHT. That's a record in 2 weeks, and now? The mouse just died so it needs to be sent back. I think the optical bulb burned out. I swear to god I must have some of THE worst luck in the world. I think there's like this select few people that destiny picks out to be the "shit bucket" of the universe, so basically they get like four times the bad luck of a normal person. I've had that my ENTIRE life so I'm used to it, but these past 2 weeks have been VERY VERY rough. I seriously feel like crawling into a hole and dying quietly but knowing my luck... that's never gonna happen.
