Poll Guilty Splurges for the New Job
* This one appears that it would require waiting for them to restock, but I like it enough to keep it in the running despite this.

** In plum, if the color would affect your vote.

I've had my pretty firesteel knife for a few months now... and I'm still yet to pick a name for her. I know it's a she, but I still haven't figured out a good name for her. I am inclined towards a goddess involving Fire or a feminine name that means fire in some way, but I have no been able to find something that I like the sound of. Anyone have ( Read more... )

Looking For Group is offering a plush of Richard, who is both absolutely horrible and so awesome, all rolled into one. Read the comic, or check out the Slaugher the World YouTube video if you don't believe me. Anyhow, they're doing a preorder for the plush right now, and they're only going to order as many as they have preorders for, so if I want ( Read more... )

So, I've been spending a lot of time working with Diziara, Spiegel and the USS Takeda Shingen lately, and using this to ramp my way back up to more frequent writing, I'm starting to move forward with another writing project of mine again. This one not taking place in someone else's universe, and if I can keep some sort of focus, I'd consider trying ( Read more... )

I've started constructing a list of music that Diziara would likely listen to. I think she hits me as a punk and metal girl with some opera mixed in for fun (both Klingon and Terran). Since she minored in 20th century Earth History in the Academy, I would assume this would introduce her to most of her earth based music preferences. Anyone have some ( Read more... )

Is anyone interested in me posting more background work for my Vampire character? I had previously posted some of her background under the tag Jelisaveta here in my LJ, when I was still running the character in the group I built her for, but I hadn't had the right mindset to work with her again until recently. I dug up the notebook I'd started my ( Read more... )

I've got a black ink cartridge for my HP printer that suggests I should have installed it somewhere back in 2004. I've had it since I bought the printer because the guy who sold the printer to me said that the cartridge that came with it was a partial cartridge. While I'd done my research on what printer to buy, at the time I hadn't looked into ( Read more... )

I am 5' 10" tall, weigh in the neighborhood of 200 lbs, am short waisted and have an inseam between 34" and 35" depending upon the style of the pants. I wear something that vaguely resembles a US Women's 18 tall clothing size. I say vaguely because I don't think I've ever owned anything that wasn't altered for me in some way, custom created for me ( Read more... )

So, now that I'm actually following through on my alter the stupid unisex t-shirts to fit me project, I am finding two things. One, I am ending up with extra scraps of fabric from the t-shirts that have no use once the alterations are done. Two, I am in need of a pin cushion to hold my straight pins when I'm not using them to hold the fabrics ( Read more... )

So, right now money's tight, but there are things I really need to do. It's getting to the point where I might start applying at some of my fall back job options, just to get a little income again. At any rate, I'm trying to consider what things I need to have that I don't have yet. Maybe you guys can help me decide. These are the things I think I ( Read more... )
