The interview went really well! I could potentially be starting on Monday if everything goes well in a phone call tomorrow =D

I agree!

I can see why it can annoy people but I loves it all the same! xD

Good luuuuuuck!

Getting 5 more Tattoo's today
The advantage of getting money off by being friends with tattoo artists :3

Went into my local Games shop today and bought Bioshock (Rented it the other week and loved it XD) and my friend told me that the guy behind the counter was totally checking me out Haha!

Makes me happy

I love Bioshock AND getting checked out, sounds like a good day to me!

I got a commission for one of my real animal skull brooches, so that will be a nice distraction from sewing cosplay for a day, lol!

It's something small but it makes me so so happy! I'm visiting my grandparents on a happier note, since the last time we saw them was for my great-grans funeral back in March. I always look forward to seeing them, the roast (or spaghetti bolognase!), the chats, its just wonderful to be there with them! <3

Off to spend the weekend with Lovely Man, sooooo nervous!

Difficult to read that with a straight face without the guys in Accounts wondering what I'm doing.

Well that was... something.

It definately made eating lunch interesting Haha!

Probably should have mentioned that it leans on the NSFW side XD

I feel slightly shamed at admitting this, but I had a go at playing online bingo tonight for the first time - what can I say, I was bored! lol

I've won £420!!! So not all bad

Oh god, I couldn't stop crying with laughter, I made my dad and step mum looked worried at me!

The interview was a success! which means I'll be transferring institutions. Instead of making an impossibly large collection which they've increased the quota of garments, wrestling over sewing machines and backstabbing each other to keep appointments, the course at this new institution has a pathway for modules. One of them is to do with management and making your own company, the other one...? Bridalwear AND costuming! Two of my favourite things in one - SO HAPPY!

@ Nixie: That was pretty funny. XD I'm just glad I've already had breakfast to be honest!

@ Isabela: Well, I would say I'm not jealous, but that would be a total lie. XD Awesome stuff though, bet that'll come in handy for MCM!

@ Angel: Congrats! At least you're going somewhere you're happy with. At least all that hard work has paid off.

The drinks are on you then at Expo? lol =P

I'm sure I could buy a round or two ;o)

What is this and can I apply?

Congrats though ^_^ I'm really happy for you

I've basically come from Sheffield to a course which is in association with Staffs Uni. The first two years is a Foundation Degree which takes place at the college but is listed under the uni. (I wanted to do that for a second year since I just wasn't happy and not doing so well in the Fash course at Hallam. The atmosphere is too tense, people are superficial and a lot of the time I couldn't even get my assignments done to the standard I felt was good because people would cross your name off for the time slots you've allotted to yourself. The staff were pretty unfriendly too and had their favourites - doesnt help with there being over 100 of you!)

So anyway, you get two years and you get a foundation level, and then you can go on to do a third year which will grant you a BA. From what I gather its mainly about management and opening your own business. I may choose to take this up, but I may not. It'd be pretty cool to do that though!

Anyhow I begin on Monday which is a trip to do with another module which is a competition for designing clothing for over 50's. If you win you get around £260 pounds as a cash prize so I'm going to try super duper hard to win that to put towards my wedding!

Watching Merlin & Sir Gwaine is looking very good - now in my happy place

Really happy because I'm finally starting my cosplay and I already have the skirt (basically) done and my Dad has ordered the apron and we actually have the shirt sorted and I just need to dye it! D Then I just need to buy the wig... DX It's £15 easily and I'm worried I won't be able to persuade my Dad to buy it... D:

Got more bits of both my costumes today!! Just freaking out over only have 2 and a half weeks to get it all done now! lol

Also got my meerkat today

(don't normally post much here, sorry)

Yeah, bit of happy news recently; I've become the official 'Creative Director' of my uni's newly made BioSoc. Didn't even have any competition for the post either (unlike the other roles) - I was kinda volunteered for it

Also, I've finally got around to remaking one of my old costumes I'd made in a rush (this time last year) and it's nearly complete with over a week left before expo!

Really, I'm just happy with life in general (for a change)

Oh man, a huge chunk of the polystyrene I was using melted! But my Dad is an absolute saint and he bought me another one, and this time I'm using some glue I know won't corrode/erode/dissolve/melt/vaporise it! XD
