Random Thoughts...

I got 2 Santo movies on DVD XD

I've idolised Santo since before I started wrestling! One of my masks is a Santo mask!

Also, I got Stitch N Bitch Nation XD I want to make a Joey Ramone or Henry Rollins doll. Or make a Henry Rollins doll and throw it at Henry Rollins when he comes to Glasgow XD

Why doesn't Costco Canada seem to carry Santana jeans anymore? I love Santana jeans.... Nothing else seems to fit me right.

I did research and apparently Parasuco was the maker of Santana jeans. I think I saw Parasuco jeans at Costco.... Maybe I'll have to try them.

Has anybody ever worn Parasuco jeans?

[Coffee]

Do Santana jeans play Black Magic Woman whenever you walk?



I feel old.

....now that's a little personal. I guess it depends on who's wearing them.

Nope, but I do have a Parasuco denim trench I got at Winners for 50 bucks (me dancing now)

This sound like a joke before my time?
Is this why I'm not getting it or am I just slow?

[Aurora199]

Come on, Coffee and I aren't that old (or at least I'm not :) ).

Surely you've heard of Santana (Carlos Santana). Here's a link www.santana.com (http://www.santana.com). Black Magic Woman is one of their songs.

[Aurora199]

Why am I still here?! Time for bed.

Good night everyone!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

No, you're not old. I'm just really young!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

It's 12:37.
I just stenciled a shirt.
I don't want to peel off the stencil, yet.
I think I'm going to mess it up.

[suburbanjungle]

Santana! My dad has a whole CD with a gazillion songs from/by Santana, so...yeah.

At the moment, I'm really liking this one remix of Faint [Linkin Park]. I'm eating a candy cane - yum - and trying to think of what the flip to put in a zine...
Movie reviews? Nahh, my parents don't like me even to watch PG-13 movies.
Music? Eh, maybe. It's hard to put sound into paper though.
Stories/poetry? Another maybe...

Any ideas? I'd love to have at minimum a DIY related section, but I dunno where to start.






And HOLY COW, saintlike IS on a posting spree...

We got my mom a serger for Christmas and it is SO flippin' cool! Yay!

[Aurora199]

We got my mom a serger for Christmas and it is SO flippin' cool! Yay!

Oooh smart thinking! Hopefully she'll let you use it too. I love having a serger it turns your little sewing projects into really sturdy professional garments/items.

[glass__onion]

wow congrats! sergers rock!

[goofipinay]

I'm scared of using my mom' serger
I always thought that since I can't sew perfectly straight...it'll end up going crooked with a serger =/

I want some toast.

goat cheese is hard to eat

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Does goat cheese taste like cow cheese?

I'm going grocery shopping tommorow?
I normally wouldn't be this happy, but this means I'm going vegetarian.
Urr... Um... AGAIN

I've been vegetarian pretty much for as long as I can remember. I've just always hated the thought of chewing on flesh. Bleh.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Kool. Everytime I visit PETA. I become a vegetarian.

Just go slow and use your stitching line as a guide and you should be fine.

Maybe it's best to master the basic sewing machine first and then move on to the serger.

[pinoyblaze]

My boyfriend loves to eat...
...Kielbasa...


Jokes are way to easy and numerous at the moment ^__^

[callmespecial]

Kool. Everytime I visit PETA. I become a vegetarian.

Yeah, PETA definitely does that for people!

[goofipinay]

Uh
man I wish I knew what I ate (filipino food)
they tell me what it is...but I forget the names =]


I'm trying to figure out if I wanna spend 30 min straightening my hair
......or 10 min curling (or I guess "waving") it..only to get messed up so easily

[goofipinay]

I haven't...I think they're a bit too extreme

[kate]

I'm on vacation right now!! Yay!

Yea, it's great for information on which companys support what. I'm not entirely sure I believe everything they say, though.

I've always wanted to protest outside of a KFC or a McDonalds, but all of my friends want to be considered as normal as possible. Why do I still like them!?!?

I just pinched and pinned a really thick hoodie. I am terribly happy with how it came out.

I'm on vacation right now!! Yay!
YAY! Kate gets a break! Enjoy!

[suburbanjungle]

My mom made me go shopping today...
I bought a sweet pair of pants - originally $80 - for 10 bucks with a giftcard. I'm fairly proud of myself. XD


I want to visit Ireland. It sounds cool.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Where'd you go shopping at?

[pinoyblaze]

I have a bamboo shrimp named Monster. She is harmless but scares the other fishies in my tank O_o If you're wonder what they look like here is pic of a bamboo shrimp:

http://www.acquariforum.com/magazine/immagini/scheda-atya-gnoky.jpg

She's over 3 inches long!!! Smurfin large shrimp!!!!!

[suburbanjungle]

The local mall. I got the pants at Macy's, formerly Marshall Fields, formerly Daytons...


Pino, I'm so jealous of your fishies! They sound pretty sweet.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

That fish looks like a block of wood with eyes!
I went to Steve and Barrys today!
Everything was 8.98. EVERYTHING!
They had jeans, shirts, jackets, shoes. I was quite happy.

[MamaSasss]

I am soooo bored.
I can't believe my office is open today.
Good thing I have projects I can work on.
Crafty projects. ;)

Happy New Years everyone!

[ladyjanewriter]

I'm so pooped.

We get to close today at 1:00 yay!

And that shrimp skeers me. If I ever visit Pinoy, I'll have to hide from the fish tank.

I don't know if there's a Steve and Barry's in Chicago?

I checked. There aren't. They're all in the fancy suburbs. Living in Chicago is so annoying, sometimes.

[glass__onion]

i slept 10 hours last night and im still exhausted. argh.....

[ladyjanewriter]

*hands glass onion some virtual tea*

Maybe you over-slept?

La la la dooby doo. I could technically go home soon, but I came in late, I should make the hour up.

I'm so LAZY. I didn't even shower this morning. Gawd.

[glass__onion]

thanks for the tea. i've already had hot chocolate...

my vacation sleep pattern is usual 12 at night to 10 in the morning. it's going to be sooo hard to switch back to school schedule.

and it doesn't help that im still growing. so i am almost always sore and/or tired.

[goofipinay]

I was flipping through some magazines

I noticed that some "new spring styles" look like loli styles
interesting...

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Why do they put out spring styles so early? Just like decorations? The day after Halloween, you see Thanksgiving stuff! The day after Thanksgiving, it's Christmas stuff!

[pinoyblaze]

And that shrimp skeers me. If I ever visit Pinoy, I'll have to hide from the fish tank.


She's harmless though, she can't even hurt a baby fish cause all she can do is use her fans haha, no claws or teeth to speak of!!! :rolleyes:

Anybody love tila tequila? I do.

[Coffee]

I do like Tequila.

never heard of Tila, though. I prefer Jose Cuervo.

[goofipinay]

tila tequila chose the guy cause she knew most of america would wanna see her as a straight girl not a lesbian

[Coffee]

Tila Tequila is a person??

Guess this is what I get for not watching TV.

Googling... Googling... Wait, people were trying to be WITH her? Crazy 'Mericans.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

At first, I thought you said engagement instead of anniverary. So when you said it was for your 10th anniversary, I thought you said 10th engagement!LOL

She got famous through mysoace. She had 1,000's of friends. People she didn't know, might I add. Now she is another bad role model to all the teenage girls.

I finished my first ever knitted garment!!! Woohoo!!! Made the kittyville hat from the Stitch'n'Bitch book by Debbie Stoller. Now to sleep. Work is tomorrow. *sigh*

[Coffee]

Oooh, the Kittyville Hat is cool.

[niamhybeag]

So happy with how it turned out! And now my little sister is begging me to make one for her. Anyone know if you can get circular needles with bamboo points rather than aluminium?

[klc1168]

Try Ebay. I was looking for knitting needles on the cheap and they have loads. Tons of babboo. I haven't bought any yet since I am still trying to decide where I want to start. I know the basics but that is about it for now.

[Aurora199]

At first, I thought you said engagement instead of anniverary. So when you said it was for your 10th anniversary, I thought you said 10th engagement!LOL

I cleaned my closet out last night, and guess what i found- a working sewing machine I had no idea I owned! So it's a little, old, but now I don't have to share a sewing machine with my mom!

Wow! It's not often you find a working sewing machine in your closet... Maybe you should play the lottery. :)

i would knit a hat with cables, but i finally bought circular needles and they are too long. argh!!!!!

[OregonRayne]

Not looking forward to 10 hr. plane ride back to the states.

[megziewoodles]

Does anyone else open their "My Computer" folder and sing it to the tune of "My Sharona"?

Also: These fourteen year olds on the train today thought I was thirteen. I laughed at them and told them all about my computing degree.

[niamhybeag]

So very tired... staying up till 3am on a work night may not have been so smart.

[kate]

Yay! I'm glad I could help. Knitting cables is deceptively easy - but I won't tell if you don't. :)

You know, I hardly ever bother with circular needles. I bought a whole set of double-pointed needles (dpnds) and I use those. They are much more versatile than circs since you aren't limited by the size of the cable. Using dpnds isn't quite as fast and they look scary if you've never used them before, but they're easy and quick to master.

Hopefully I can get my necktie tutorial done tonight, and either uploaded Friday, or Saturday! I wanna submit it, but it'll also be on YouTube.

Do you have an old necktie that's ugly that you can rip up? You could use it for a necktie pattern.

[pinoyblaze]

MY fancy female Guppy Fish just popped out a couple of babies... WOW ^__^

thanks for the advice! i saw the double-pointed needles when i bought my circular ones. and yes, i was a little scared. but i think i'll get those next time i get yarn...

and i got annoyed with the circular needles and now im making a lovely hat with regular ones. i was hoping to use my new cabling skills, but the yarn is too fluffy. ah well. but i've been practicing cabling a lot, and now the cables on my mom's sweaters no longer intimidate me.

That plasticky-leathery stuff Bret made on Make! Magazine is really cool looking. I made some today, but decided it wouldn't be worth making a bag. So now I'm making fake-leather wristbands out of them.

Thanks glass__onion, I'll take my coffee with a scoop of hot chocolate mix, some sugar and milk.

I just hate conflict. Especially when it's with someone like a neighbor who I'm probably going to be stuck with for quite a while. Maybe they'll apologize -not likely though.

[Aurora199]

On a brighter note, I just got back from the fabric store! Which was lined up and my kids were driving me crazy. But I still managed to find some stuff.

6 light purple buttons for a blouse I'm slowly making (50% off)
2 blue flower patches to sew on my daughter's navy blue jacket to make it look more girly (50% off)
3 spools of thread for $1
I also bought some fabric that was all from the clearance section plus an extra 50% off:
-2.5 m of Easter fabric to make my Mom a tablecloth
-2 m of a multi pink light t-shirty fabric to make nightgowns for my girls
-.2 m of trim for the nightgowns (hmm..now I'm thinking stretch lace might be nicer..)

In the end it all came to just over $11 CAD.

I had intended to buy totally different stuff, but I'll have to look for it another time.

Yes. Very annoying. You're left wondering if it looks really bad or something, but then pride takes over and you just really don't care what anybody thinks 'cause you're proud of it.

[lunarjade]

Yes. Very annoying. You're left wondering if it looks really bad or something, but then pride takes over and you just really don't care what anybody thinks 'cause you're proud of it.

Yep... then there's the opposite. When you make something and you want to hide it in a deep dark hole and someone who manages to find it thinks its the most awesome thing in the world.

I had to go tell my new neighbors to turn down their music at 1:30 this morning... Now I'm tired and cranky.

Ah, yes. I totally feel for you, Aurora! The house across the lane from me used to be a hula studio, so the way it's built, all of the sound gets funnelled straight to my house. And worse- they insist on playing crappy reggae and rap music at high volume.

And then they get drunk and yell at eachother over the music. Or sing karaoke. Both of which are extremely unpleasant.

Guess I'll have to get used to it. I'm still bouncing inside at the hat that I made. First thing I've made from scratch, apart from a cuff or 2. 2 of my sisters hate it, and the amount of weird looks I've had while wearing it on the way to the train station after work.... then again, it's unusual to see a hat quite like it in the middle of staid accountancy firms.

If you love it, you should totally wear it! I've worn countless things that have made people give me the "What is that?" look. But you know what? I bet Amelia Bloomer got the same look when she started wearing bloomers... but now, women wear pants all the time! Your hat could start the next social revolution!

I don't know what 'staid' means but I believe almost anything that is neither grey or brown is unusual in any kind of accountancy... Be proud to bring life and color (even if you hat is black, which I have no idea...) in that rather conservative environment!!!

[glass__onion]

vampires? i heard it was a zombie movie.

[kate]

Oooh, Juno, I want to see that!

[jcr235]

well according to the news its vampires but their probably wrong. coz they get told what to say. and New Zealand people are always wrong well their not but some are and maybe a dumb person wrote it( the news people thing which they read off) and why do i always put the y after the b when i type maybe. and i also thinking why no one ever goes on me and my friends website.. even if it is bad i would like to know that its actually got people seeing it.. and its not bad well kinda... i dnt know.

ok i feel much better now.... off ot my friends house for a barbecue... y are they called that anyway.. ok time for me to shut up

My friend scares me o_O

[jcr235]

wow that sounds awesome! i've always wanted to got to Japan. and i love San Francisco. (i live very close to it) and yes today there was a storm but the sky is clear now.

i went to Japan in i think 06 for a school trip with my Japanese class and ive always wanted to go back. And ive always wanted to go to San Francisco coz my parents went in 2004 and they didnt take me. So I was rather annoyed. wow 2004 was such along time ago.... i was like 12

This sucks!
I've been waiting for the weekend for awhile and
no it here!
But I have a terrible sore throat.
My medicine tastes like fertilizer
It's freezing outside
but I'm burning up
And it feels like I'm swallow glass
Mmmmm.... Glass....

Sorry to hear that you're feein' rotten, especially on the weekend. :( Do you at least feel good enough to sew? Or at least type?

I hope you get better soon.

Ouch, that sucks, saintlike! I know how that goes. There's one time of year I ALWAYS get sick...blech. Hopefully the "fertilizer" will help though. XD

And oh boy...70+? Holy smurf.

I feel okay sometimes. Other times its like, "SHOOT ME!''
Well, the medicine is that spray stuff in a bottle. It'll numb it for awhile, but does nothing for a other symptons. I have some Tylenol, and it works good but it is night time and sends me right to bed. Then when I wake up, I feel groggy and sluggish. Plus, its only 4:00 here and I've already taken a nap. So I making use of the time when I feel half decent.:p

How long did it take you to count 70+ eggs?...honestly? My boyfriend counted them ^__^ I have bad eye sight!!! I'm so excited!!! Now to get a bunch of jars... O_o They'll hatch soon!

[M0ose]

I had one of those fish when I was little. I named it after my favorite teachers (it had a long name) and it was a nice dark red
Then one day it was gone and the only evidence of it's disappearance is that my mom said she saw our cat walk in with something in her mouth that my mom figured was a (red) leaf. Yeah, but it was the fish.

[plasticky.amedama]

ugg, today was supposed to be the first day of the semester, but we have over 1 foot of snow, so school was canceled.

That's exciting! Snow days are good to have, especially on the first day of class. We never get snow days (i'm in college) because many people usually go buy lots of booze/go to the bar, so the prez figured if students can get wasted they can go to class, lol.

[LadyRobinhood]

It's raining today... and taking away all of our snow. :(

[Coffee]

Well, we only had one day with snow all winter.

I've been knitting recently, but I'm quite harsh, so if I don't think something's moving quickly enough or I'm unhappy with it, I frog and start over.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Our school system sucks!
I remember one time, it had snowed all night and froze the roads and sidewalks. The trucks came along and cleared the streets. But still leaving the sidewalks frozen. So of course we had school, but why should the superintendent care? He has a car!

[callmespecial]

Okay, there's a lot of talk of snow... do you guys like snow or not? I've only ever seen it once. The first thing I did was step into it in my slippers (flip flops), and it was SO cold! After that I got kinda used to it, but I don't know if I'd want to live in a place where it snows. I love rain, and I hate sunny days.

Yes, the Beatles definitely rock. A guy at school and I have a never-ending argument. He says Jay-Z is better than the Beatles. Pssshhh.

I also hate when people wear stuff that says "The Beatles" on it, but they don't even listen to the Beatles. That happens at my school a lot. All people listen to here is reggae and rap.

[glass__onion]

thnx LadyRobinhood!

callmespecial– that happens at my school too. i sometimes spot guys wearing really awesome Beatles shirts, and they probably can't name a single Beatles song.

people confuse me. hopefully not as much as i confuse them...

I can't speak for others, but no I don't particularly like snow. It's cold and wet. It's slippery and messy. But I suppose there are quite a few winter sports that we couldn't do without it. Personally we go skating and sledding, and I used to go skiing. There's also, ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, etc. Oh, and let's not forget about shoveling, warming up vehicles and scraping ice off windshields... loads of fun. :rolleyes:

Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without snow. And did I almost forget about snowmen?! Snow-forts?! You have to have warmer conditions in order to have snow that's sticky enough for building snowmen.

And ice sculptures are always nice (built by professionals).

Dang Coffee I have all of what you are looking for including glasses and tattoos and I'm single; but alas I am old enough to be your mom (almost) I am 39 and I am terrible at knitting but I want to pick it up again.

I live in Wisconsin. We get at least two blizzards every winter, several thaws, lots of snow.
I think that snow is beautiful, I love watching it snow, and blizzards are wicked fun, but when all is said and done, I actually do rather hate snow. It's cold, wet, and makes everything look boring and dull unless the sun is out.

And the Beatles are the best!!! That guy at your school just doesn't know what he's talking about.
I really hate reggae and rap. People listen to it constantly here. Me, I prefer the oldies and the indie, thanks.
Beatles are the best. The best. The best. Yess... they are the best. Don't try to deny it, people. Deep down, you know that they are awesome. ;)

[glass__onion]

yes!!!!! listen to her, for LadyRobinhood speaks the truth. the Beatles are the best of the best!!!!

i feel so left out about this conversation about snow. i live in the bay area (california!) and i think it snowed here about 17 years ago. for one day. pretty shocking.

i have spent some time in Minnesota during the winter. (minus 16 degrees)
so i laugh at all the girls at my school who say "omg its freezing!!" when it is only 45 degrees (in the middle of winter).

[Coffee]

tonight on newsnight, The Beatles;

My Mum grew up right outside San Diego. Whenever I go to visit her family, my younger cousins don't believe my stories about snow. They're positive I make it all up.

Glass_Onion, are you a Beach Boys fan, also? Judging by what people have told me they like, it seems that most people usually prefer either the Beach Boys or the Beatles. I like both, but Beatles are definately MUCH better.

mmm, the Beach Boys are ok. "barbara ann" gets stuck in my head a little too easily. even though i like the song, after awhile of having the intro playing over and over again in your head gets on my nerves.

Not much, what's xtabentun you?

[Coffee]

I had my first knitting class last night. Quite interesting, and the group it's attached to are nice.

Continental knitting is difficult.


And right now I'm watching I Am Legend.

[ladyjanewriter]

<----<< Has no clue what Continental Knitting is?

[Coffee]

Just a different method of holding yarn and knitting.

[ladyjanewriter]

Oh! OK, got it.

[klc1168]

I am concerned for my job. There were 20 people working in my office and on Tuesday 4 of them were let go. My company is downsizing. I'm glad I have decided to go back to school.

[kate]

Yeah, Continental is really hard to get used to. I'm an English knitter myself. Which is odd, because I've been crocheting for 10+ years, and the continental way is more like crocheting, but I just don't get it.

[ladyjanewriter]

Aw, that's terrible. :( I've got until November 30th and then my job goes bye-bye. Yeah, jobs are just...nuts lately.

[kate]

LadyJane - Do you know what you're going to do then? Do you have an idea of what job you'd like?

[ladyjanewriter]

LadyJane - Do you know what you're going to do then? Do you have an idea of what job you'd like?

Nope! Well, something to do with web content would be nice. And one that doesn't require major math skillz.

I still think there should be a job where you just do paid web searches for people. I'm really good at it. Like, just pay me $8.00 per hour and I'll do web searches all day for people.


Fortunately, they're offering all of us a severance package. Whew.

[kate]

Hopefully they keep you on that long - wasn't that a concern a while ago that they were going to "downsize" your position?

[Coffee]

Yeah, Continental is really hard to get used to. I'm an English knitter myself. Which is odd, because I've been crocheting for 10+ years, and the continental way is more like crocheting, but I just don't get it.

I'm more comfortable with English. It turns out that in Dutch, English is called French Knitting, and Continental is called German knitting. Bizarre!


Also: I Am Legend sucks.

[kate]

Yeah, another confusing thing is that the needles and crochet hooks are given different numbers across the pond, and stitches have the same names but refer to different stitches! So confusing...

[Coffee]

The real answer is to get a needle gauge.

What's confusing for me is that over here, we use two different scales at once, both the "British" scale, where a smaller needle has a higher number, and the metric scale as well.

Confused yet?

Actually, I'd like to try traditional Scottish knitting; it's almost exactly like English, but the left needle does all of the moving, and the right needle is held in the armpit. Unfortunately (or fortunately) none of my needles are long enough to knit that way!

[kate]

That's how the Stitch 'n Bitch lady knits - with the needle in the armpit. Seems... stinky!

Don't worry, I've never played it.

Yes, except knitting is actually interesting.

[ladyjanewriter]

Did I mention that my HS had a bagpipe corps?

I like bagpipes. It's sort of like gospel. Both of them, when done poorly, sound b-a-d. When done correctly, it's fantabulously wonderful. IMO.

[kate]

There's a guy that has a vacation house up the street from my mom's vacation house and he plays the bagpipes when he's there and he's very good and it's so neat to hear the sound drifting down the hill and into our windows. The house is right next to the ocean and the bagpipes mix in with the sound of the waves crashing and it's beautiful. I love the bagpipes. And the ocean.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question....

Bailey, Kahlua, coconut liqueur, creamy coffee flavored liqueurs (can't remember the names) -There seem to be quite a few that taste good in coffee.

[Coffee]

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question....

Bailey, Kahlua, coconut liqueur, creamy coffee flavored liqueurs (can't remember the names) -There seem to be quite a few that taste good in coffee.

But the most famous is Irish Coffee, which uses Irish Whiskey. Baileys is also acceptable, since it's Irish Whiskey and Cream combined.

Can't say I've tried Kahlua, since it's a Coffee Liquer. Might be too much.

[klc1168]

Kaluah in coffee is really good. It is a coffee liquor but it reminds me more of chocolate since it is sweet.

[Coffee]

I only drink Kahlua with Vodka and Cream or Vodka and Cola.

[Aurora199]

Kahlua and milk is yummy too (mmmm.....Brown Cow). :) I haven't had one of those in ages.

[kate]

Oof, I way overdid the White Russians when I had my first apartment in college. Vodka, Kahlua and milk is such a tasty beverage! (Only if you're over 21...) Now the thought of Kahlua makes my stomach turn.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Wow, you guys sure know alot about alcohol.

I just showed my mom a sketch of what I wanted my prom dress to look like; she loved it...BUT
I asked her if I could learn to make dresses to lead up to it (since they took away junior prom, I'd wait 2 years)
I figured if she let me learn and stuff, *maybe* I could make it (or close) by then?

but she said no =[

what to do...what to do..

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

OOO...
So sorry!
So are you going to have to buy the dress?

[goofipinay]

well she said
that I could practice making my dress for the orchestra trip (in april)

but the prom dress has to be made by a seamstress..
and since we're filipino, she wants me to make a clearer design (in color) so e could send it to someone in the Philippines (cheaper that way)
or...I could go visit there and explin it to a designer that can draw bette than me & have a fitting xD

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Oh!
Well, I hope everything turns out all right and you get the dress of your dreams!

[goofipinay]

heh I wish I could make it =]
I'd LOVE to be able to do something grand like that xD

Wait, she said you couldn't learn how to make dresses? Why on earth would she say that? You can spend $10 on fabric and a few bucks on a similar pattern to practice. Do you have $15?

and that a professional would know better on like..
the fabrics and things that the dress would need

[Coffee]

What about a night class at community college or something? I doubt that she could disagree with that.


I am so fed up of my job right now. It's a screaming crying shame I can't seem to get another one.

[goofipinay]

....community colleges let sophomores in high school take night classes? o.O

well we have fashion design classes, but to take it, it's such a serious course, that it takes up 4 classes off your schedule =/

[kate]

she said that 2 years might not be enough for me to learn how to make like a gown

To me two years seems like plenty of time to learn how to make a dress. Just for kicks browse online pattern catalogs (McCalls, Simplicity, Vogue, etc) and see if any of those dresses are like the one you want to make. Or go to the fabric store and flip through their massive paper catalogs. A pattern might be $5, especially if there's a sale (and you have plenty of time to wait for a sale) and fabric shouldn't be much more than that, either, especially if you're practicing with sale fabric, or cheap fabric. What have you got to lose?

I had never made a dress before in high school but I really wanted to make my dress for graduation so I bought fabric and a pattern and did it. Following patterns really isn't that hard.

Once you've made your practice dress you can see how it fits and what changes you want to make. Maybe you want to slim it down or make it longer or change the straps.

I believe in you! You have plenty of time to practice and we're all here to help.

AND, if she's willing to pay for a professional to make it then clearly spending a little money on fabric is not the issue. Go forth and conquer!

I think 2 years is long enough. Way long enough. As long as you keep at it and don't procrastinate because you have 2 years.

[goofipinay]

well by then...
I think the issue would be the type of fabric & making the pattern
but yea, I think I could do it, too =]

....community colleges let sophomores in high school take night classes? o.O

well we have fashion design classes, but to take it, it's such a serious course, that it takes up 4 classes off your schedule =/

Former: Maybe, maybe not. Only one way to find out, to be honest.

Latter: I'm not seeing a downside.

I do, I'd have to take 4 classes off my schedule, and I can't afford to do that
Plus the class is 2 credits, so it isn't worth losing the other 2

I wish the wouln't make you fill your 9th grade schedule with such fillers. Those are 2 spaces which I could use for extra academics for a colleg applications. Theatre arts and gym are useless to me.

Why don't you make a prototype of the dress out of some really cheap fabric? Then you'll know if you can make it or not.

Or just let a seamstress make it for you, and have fun making some other fabulous garment. Or make your own handbag, wrap, etc. to match the dress.

haha yea, PE wastes room -.-
maybe be in a club or two

We could get out of PE in high school if we joined a sport. I played golf - the course was a couple blocks from my house and all my friends were in it, so it was fun. Kind of dorky, but I didn't have to run around the track in the middle of the day!

Usually we played the first few holes then took the shortcut back to the parking lot and hung out and smok--- uh, did our homework...

[callmespecial]

I hate PE! And I have to take it starting Monday! Gahhh!!!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Kate, there no use hiding it. Public school today, there much worse than smoking and right out in the open. You would be so surprised at how easy to is to get marijuana. I think it's stupid and a waste of braincells. I only feel bad for the generation after me, who know what they'll have access to.

The thing about PE is, the people there get so wrapped up and ugh! It annoys me so much.

[goofipinay]

oy, yea
there's the people that LOVE PE and get mad a you for not doing anything -.-

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I'm definetly not one of those people. It's not that I'm lazy. It's the fact that I'm being forced to play a sport, I don't like, with people I don't like in a place I don't like in itchy clothes, I don't like. That about sums it up.

makes me think of choir, an alternative to a sport.
but it still sucks
people in the choir at my school think they can look down on you because they can sing.

[goofipinay]

Pssh
I'm in orchestra, every other day, opposite of PE (so no alternative)

but at least, I'm actually good. I hate it when people act like thy hate the class but then BAM! They're beast at it! grrr

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I've just watched the first episode of Death Note. It hasn't lived up to it's rep yet, and I find it to be creepy and eery.

Oh, honey, I've seen it all. I knew just how easy it was to buy ALL of that stuff as a kid...

[megziewoodles]

Dear World, you're just a little bit weird. Good thing I like weird.

I certainly don't miss PE. If you're not one of the kids who's a natural athlete then it can be really tough. I was never good at sports and PE was always hard on my self esteem. Just remember, school doesn't last forever. Once you're done you can move on to the real world where mature people will like you for who you are (and not care about how many laps you can run on the track, or how far you can jump, or whether you can hit the little birdie with your badminton racket!).

I was worried, because I thought my brother was forwarding me a real obituary via e-mail.

And it turns out to be THIS:


Subject: Sad News

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.



Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.



Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wastingmuch of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.



Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven.He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.



The funeralwas heldat 3:50 for about 20 minutes.





I told him it was funny, but kind of "yelled" at him for a moment. I seriously thought one of our classmates had died when I saw the title of the e-mail!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I've read that before. It's funny.

Kate, it really is a shame. My classmates say they only do drugs to "unwind". I mean I always knew that people in my school drank and smoked, but I never knew how many. They come to school with it!

Yeah... We could buy drugs across the street from school at the park. Across the street! That's where lots of people ate lunch and they'd buy drugs, do them in the park then go back to school. Across the street from school!!! Crying shame.
