Oh God! The SLARPA was amazing! The costuming alone was phenominal. Everyone deserves a huge pat on the back.
LG got to play in her first LARP! She was my daughter, Hermione (of course...heh). She was great! She stayed in character all night and she had a good time. She totally wanted to do it again when she found out I had another game on Saturday...heh. That's my girl!
I don't get the chance to play the type of characters that I played this weekend very often...so it was refreshing to step out of my element for a while. Very very fun...especially the Nightmare City game, 'cause I totally got to hit on everyone I've always wanted to hit on...hehehehe. Edmonton people are hot.
A bunch of friends took the kids to the zoo on Sunday and it was great!! The weather was perfect and the company was excellent. (giggle).
But, with the stroke of midnight, we are all forced to return to reality and become as normal as we are able, once again.
Can't wait until next year. Did I mention that the Edmonton people are hot?
What Kind of Different Demon are you...? ( Anime-ish pics )
You are a Khaos Demon. Aside from the obvious, you are the Khaos Angel in a demon form making you also prone to suffer. The only good thing about your suffering is that you can force this out on other people. You love drowning the world in your sorrow, and if you have been pushed around enough, you kill and slaughter without a thought. If need be, you can make everyone around you feel bad becouse of your sorrow. Dramatic... And you are a rare find in this world. (Yes, again. It is spelled Khaos becouse of the breed. Its insane to find one.) Take this !
I got my outfit for the game...well, at least, pieces of it. I'm going to be working my ass off to get it ready in time, since we just got the character list yesterday and the game is on Saturday. Just decided what character I was going to play this morning...but it hasn't been approved yet. I sure hope it is, or all this costuming stuff will be for nothing.
Tomorrow is LG's last day of kindergarten. I can NOT believe that she's done already. I'm kinda sad about that. She's growing so fast. Every day I look at her and remember things, like when she first learned to run. Her one arm was always cocked and I'd marvel over how she never hit herself in the face as it swung toward her with the exertion.
Don't get me wrong. I don't wish she was still a baby or anything. It's just that it's going by so fast. Now, with the completion of kg, she will be in "real" school next year.
*sigh* Seeing her finish this year is even harder than it was to watch her get on that school bus for the first time.
We actually had a lot of fun out there. There were quite a few people, and we came away with some pretty awesome stories. Like, QK and his burger/fire/beer antics...or KT trying to ride my bike and hitting the ditch. That was just before MK wanted to try it and ended up flat on his back with the bike sticking straight up on end. He was actually kinda still sitting on it. It was hilarious.
The weather sucked, but we remained relatively dry under the little refugee camp that we had resurrected in one of the sites. We cooked...and ate. And ate. And ate some more. I have affectionately named this trip...the weekend of eat.
So, fun was had by ever single soggy one of us. It was nice to get home though.
On a sadder note, LG's little hamster, Mitzie Gainer died while we were away. She was such a cute little rodent. I found her last night after LG had gone to bed. So I put her in a little box and stuck her in the fridge. I cleaned up her cage and put it away.
When LG got up, she immediately noticed that Mitzie's cage was missing and asked where she went. So I told her. I thought she would be a little more emotional than that, but she just kinda shrugged and asked if she could have another one.
I don't know if we should have a little funeral for her or if I should just bury her or put her in the trash bin outside(that's what my mom always did). I don't want to traumatize her, but I also want her to realize that life is precious and that it isn't a trivial thing when one is lost. I also want her to realize that death is an inevitable part of life, and that it needs to be dealt with.
Hmmm....this parenting thing is challenging sometimes. You never really know what you're doing to your kids by either protecting them or exposing them to things like this. It's a tough call.
I got an email about a girl who went missing. Pleading for people to pass on her picture in a short letter from her mother.
I don't usually pass things like this on, but this one just kinda got to me. Life changes quite a bit when you're a mother, and you start giving a damn about the kids of the world just a little bit more than you did before.
So, I think to myself, "That poor mother. I would probably be doing the same thing if I were in her shoes. I would be devastated, and would emolore the people of the world..any people..all people, to help me find my daughter". So, I forward the email on to almost everyone I know. Family, frinds.
Then I check SNOPES. And lo and behold...it's a hoax. A FUCKING HOAX about a missing young girl!!
So, I was momentarily aghast that I had emailed all these people for nothing, spreading the horrible truth...that I can be got! I don't know what happened! I never fall for these things, and I spend lots of time debunking things for other people when they send me stupid shit. But this one...this one got me. I can only blame it on maternal instincts and maybe lack of sleep.
However, I quickly came to the conclusion that those who know me would assume as much. But, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. For a different reason.
What kind of sick fucking joke is THAT? I mean, what happens when someone really does go missing and their mother sends out mass emails begging for help? How many people, because of this shitty little stunt, are going to just delete it as soon as it is read, and not even bother to check it out?
Fucking kids don't use their brains! What happens if someday, little Ashley really does go missing?
The kids who did this are really stupid. It was needless, it could end up costing someone their child because people are fed up with emails that just cry wolf, and it didn't accomplish one stinking thing, except to make everyone look out for little Ashley. And boy...if we ever find her.
A total princess and diva, you're totally in charge - even if people don't know it.
You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won't settle for anything less.
You're going to be a total star, and you won't let any of the "little people" get in your way.
Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift!
I really don't want my blog to turn into an American Idiot-fest. But there is just SO MUCH!!!
Here's the latest. Have you ever heard of that "Baptist" cult that demonstrates anti-gay hate protests at the grave sites of fallen American soldiers? During their burials?
Yeah, you've heard of them sick fucks who like to torture the families of kids while they are trying to say their last goodbyes. Yeah, the same soldiers that are protecting the country's freedoms...like that of the first amendment, which these assholes are so shamelessly abusing. Well, I guess they're called the Westboro Baptist Church. They were idiots at a 20 year old kid's funeral and now his father is suing them. It's about frigging time.
Do the world a favor and show the poor guy some support. An encouraging word can go a long way. I can't imagine how painful it must have been...what they did to him.
Holy shit are these guys out to lunch. You should google them. It's a pretty fucked-up read.
Anyhow, one of the links on their homepage is God Hates Canada. According to these slimey blobs of wasted flesh, God also hates America and Sweden. I knew that Swedesh porn would get you a one way ticket to hell...hehehe.
"WBC members have been arrested at Ottawa's International Airport upon entering Canada to picket Parliament and burn the Canadian flag." Ain't we stinkers? We're just wreckin' the whole world, aren't we? There aren't enough names in the book for these "people".
I just have to say that it's pretty disturbing how grossly indecent these people are and how deluded and abusive they are to their fellow man. For one thing....Canada isn't a state. Dumbasses. I say...if we just wait long enough, they'll either blow themselves up or drink some tasty grape juice with TomKat.
Hey, I came across this video. I thought...wow. I used to totally listen to this stuff. I watched the videos....though not this one.
Anyway, I'm not really sure what else I can say about it...except it IS kinda entertaining to watch.
It contains dance gems such as, "ride the wild horse", the "limp wrist air smack", the "aren't I pretty prance", and "Fighting with myself"! I wonder what this guy thinks when he looks back on it.

You know, I was sitting here thinking to myself that "ago" is a funny word. Half an hour ago. Thirty minutes ago. What is this word "ago"?
So I looked it up:
ago
adj : gone by; or in the past; "two years ago"; "`agone' is an archaic word for `ago'" [syn: agone] adv : in the past; "long ago"; "sixty years ago my grandfather came to the U.S."

Well, as of right now, LG and I are completely camping self-sufficient. Today I bought us a new tent. They were on sale at Liquidation world. I just couldn't pass it up. So now we'll have a tent that is actually big enough to sleep in AND hold your luggage. I've waited so long!! We can totally go camping on our own now....and we will!!
I got an axe yesterday also. Yes...an axe. I asked a guy I work with where I might be able to get it sharpened, and he told me that a friend of his has a grinder and that he could get it sharpened for me.
Since I happened to have it in my trunk, I went out and brought it into the building. The receptionist gave me an alarmed look as I walked in swinging it from my wrist. "I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS PLACE", I growled at her. She said, "Man, I've heard of going postal before, but going lumberjack...that's something else!".
We all had a good laugh. Then to top it off, I had to run out and get a criminal record check done for my college application. I told her I though I'd get that done BEFORE I start swinging the axe. I think I scared her.
This is my adopted goth fetus named "Cringe". Hooray fetus!
