Post of Exhaustion
Well, since I haven't posted a legitiamate post in quites some time, I actually have a lot to say! Go figure ^_^ There have been some overly interesting things that have happened. First of all, and most impactful on my present situation, I got another speeding ticket last friday!!! YAY!!! Some asshole in a small town outside Fayetteville called Johnson decided he'd pull me over. He says I was going 46 in a 30. I refuse to believe that! I didn't even know what the speed limit was before he pulled me over. I had turned off of a street that had a 40mph speed limit. So, since I couldn't immediately see a speed limit sign telling me otherwise, I went ahead and resumed my speed of 40. I didn't think this was a bad decision considering the guy in front of me was going even faster than me. About a hundred feet after the turn, I passed the cop who would be giving me the ticket. Shortly after he pulled out, I noticed the 30mph sign and promptly slowed down to 30. He put on his lights and pulled me over. The guy in front of me, who never slowed down. Pulled over as well, but when he noticed the cop had stopped behind me, he gently and ever so stealthily slipped back onto the street and kept going. Sneaky bastard. There, of course, is no way i was going 46. The cop had apparently radared the guy in front of me who was going faster than me. I'm not going to say I wasn't speeding, because I was. But, I'm simply going to say that I didn't know the true speed limit before I was pulled over, and that the guy in front of me was the one who was radared at 46 and not I. This kind of stuff really chaps me. Now, I've got another ticket. Isn't this just wonderful? gah! And right after my birthday too. There goes my birthday money. Of course, that was another of the big happenings in my life. I had my birthday on the 4th. It was nice. My parents came up here with my sister and two dogs to wish me a happy birthday. Oh, so thoughtful! They also came up to allow my sister to visit the University of Arkansas. As it turns out, she will be going there. Which is yet another one of the big happenings. YAY!
Another of the big happenings is the wonderful news that I have found a woman to sew my hat for my cosplay costume this year!!! This is really cool! I was worried I was going to have to sew it myself. That worried me. So, the fact that I found someone who can do it for me is a great thing! Another great thinga bout it is that she isn't going to charge me too much! Only $25! How spiffy is that?! So, yet another piece of my costume for this year falls into place. It's really coming along well too. It needs to be moving along a litte faster though. I've got the pants and the vest in the mail. Amy, one of my good friends, had the wonderfully brilliant idea to use medical scrubs as the base for the vest and pants. It works perfectly! All i've gotta do is hem the pants to the length i need, cut the shirt into the right shape for the vest, and sew on the small bits and pieces that make the vest Shugo's. Yahoo! I've also already found the wig i need, the dye i need to color the wig, and the tights. The one part of the costume i worry about most now is the wig. I worry that I won't be able to get it to the right color. I couldn't track down a wig of the right color and style. So, i found a wig of the right style in a very light blonde color. So, hopefully the coloring will work right. *crossed fingers*
The last of the really big happenings is the formation of a fencing club here on campus! I'm so happy about this! It's very nice to finally be able to fence again. I also think it is a better club for me than my last one. The last one I was in was extremely fun, and all my best friends were there, but the teaching wasn't that good. It was basically warm up then spar. No drills, no technique practicing, no nothing. But, this club does have that! Most our night consists of drills and technique practice in areas such as footwork (an area I need to work on). So, even though i loved my previous club, this one kicks it's butt.
Anyway, that's about all that's really happening for me currently. Not a whole lot more to tell. My parents will be back up here next weekend for Parents' Weekend. That'll be cool to see them again. Other than that, nothing else. Ciao!
