one year ago

one year ago i was out drinking with my coworkers saying goodbye. goodbye to the company that we had worked at for years, some longer than others. goodbye to our safe, comfortable lives. goodbye to the people that we had come to know and the work we liked. it was bittersweet and so we had a proper wake. we shared memories and stories, laughed and drank and ate. as much as i didn't like some of them, i still miss quite a few of the rest. i don't think anything was as sad as going in to work the next day as one of the transition team and having to deal with the interlopers. they were quiet and subdued as they took away the remnants of our livelihoods. the days that followed were too quiet, too somber.

i can't believe that it's been a year...more so, i can't believe that i miss that place so much.

falling apart

so it's been a little over a month since i last posted, but it has gone by so fast. my schedule now causes work to take up so much of my life that the days blur together. this is also the first weekend in a while that i haven't been out doing things. in the past month i've spent my weekends out and about seeing the tut exhibit, at doll meets, and at doll shows. i've been so busy on the weekends that i finally had to decide not to go anywhere this one. sadly, that meant i gave up going to steam-con yet again. but i won't be sad about that as going even for a day would have done more harm than good (i couldn't really move yesterday morning due to immense pain in my lower back - like, crippling pain).

four years and seven months...

after this much time and two previous tries, it has finally happened. everything has fallen into place and azerian is finally compete. or, well, nearly...he still needs to be painted, but we all know how that went...so now all i have to do is clean up his head and paint him. after this much time i'm hoping that most of the yellowing is the old style msc i sprayed him with ages ago...but i kinda doubt it. i've no idea if he was cleaned up during his adventure to england or not...or what else may have occurred. if it is all or mostly him, i'll be trying to lighten him a little. can't wait until his body mellows some! i'm loving the f60 body, though, and am so happy to have it for him. it is the body i wanted for him all along. now to go buy more dollheart for him...

long awaited

so at my first meet aaaages ago i saw a bluefairy and got to handle her. since then i've wanted a bluefairy may, but just somehow never got one. well, earlier this summer they had a special release for the baked skin marine may full set. i emailed them and waited for the drawing, partially fearful that i'd get her, partially that i wouldn't. i'd planned out getting a normal skin may sometime in august, so getting her early kinda put a kink in my plans - especially with the dollshe event. i got the email from bluefairy and debated maybe five minutes before deciding i'd go ahead and order her. she arrived on the 10th and i couldn't be happier!

today is...

a day I feel more and more like I shouldn’t have bothered leaving my apartment. it’s just been weird person after weird person and stuff. right now I’m supposedly at a meet that started 30 minutes ago…but I’m the only person here. u_u yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have left my apartment…things will get better from here, I have my apple snow and will get delicious food and enjoy myself despite everyone not being here!
