Bandages are much more effective when worn under your clothes.

So! Uh... welcome to Friday~ I have been busy this week, though clearly with nothing productive. XD; Most of my time has been spent scouring eBay for the proper version of Gwen's shirt, which I did not find and have just gotten it in white. It's the same print, just on a white shirt instead of black. Seriously, if there were ever shirts with it in black, they have since disappeared from the face of the planet. (Must be the Rift...) I've also been trying to figure out where to get red Converses, or at least where I can go in Gainesville to try on Converses so I can see what size I am, because I bet I can wear a kids' size. >D;

Oh, and then! I think I spent at least two hours the other night trying to figure out where the seams were on Padme's top, and what kind of seams they should be. ::fail:: Ah well, let it not be said that I didn't at least try to make it as accurate as possible! After screencapping the movie a TON, and not finding any real sewing help on the couple of costuming forums I looked up, I think I have a pattern and a method for making this shirt. Now to, uh. Make it. XD

In slightly more RL news, Diana and I have been watching more Supernatural, which continues to be awesome~ And there were wings and mozzerella sticks (and candy!) at Scott's on Wenesday, and after we were done watching stuff we ended up staying over and just talking until something like 1:50am. XD That was fun~ Except now Tiffany wants to have a zombie movie marathon at some point, which I am either going to have to find an excuse to miss or bring some sewing so I don't pay attention to the TV. XD;

I have also been 0 for 3 the last couple of days with regards to the bus - for the past three mornings in a row, I swear I have walked out the door of my apartment building (which is across the parking lot from the bus stop) to see the bus pulling away. Three times in a row. At three different times of the morning, so it's not like I'm trying to catch the bus at the same time every day and it keeps happening. Shouldn't that be statistically very difficult? XD Woo, I beat statistics! Except wait, that's not good. XD;

And finally, in writing news, I've been struggling with this latest Merlin fic because I want it to be short, but it wants to be long, and I don't want it to be long. I've also started it at least three separate times. I have a good chunk of it done (if it's short), but I really have to decide if the character development is okay, given the backstory I give, or if it's out of left field. We don't want character development coming out of left field. Not even right field, I think. XD;

And then this morning someone left a review on one of my SW stories (admittedly, this was a review left on fanfiction.net) that "near the end of paragraph 2, you have the 'term' "cocksure" written. i'm assuming it's a typo..."

... Uh. No, it's a word. That irks me, and I want to tell them (very nicely, of course!) that it is actually a word, but it's not a signed review so I can't reply. Alas, I will have to let it go. (And then I was reading something and someone was bashing people in the Midwest for having bad grammar because clearly we don't read books, and that made me angry.)

Ah well. IT'S FRIDAY! :D Suite Life and Clone Wars tonight, and Inkheart tomorrow!

(Oh, and lastly, I think I need to get this shirt for Scott for his birthday this year. XDDD)
