life updates
Okay. SO.
I FINALLY started working on finishing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I started it when it came out and, somehow or other, never got around to finishing it. I have no idea how this one occurred. Between Saturday and Sunday, with periodic breaks in between chapters for other things, I'm about 3/4s of the way done. I plan to finish it by tonight, providing I don't get distracted.
Now, what prompted me to do so was that, on Saturday, I dragged my father with me to go see Order of the Phoenix (the movie is awesome, by the way. If you haven't seen it yet and you're a fan of the series, go see it ASAP. It's beautifully done.). Umbridge was delightfully creepy/crazy, and the Ministry of Magic sequences were fantastic. Particularly the end-bits. Wow. XD I need to go see it again, I think.
Dad IMed me this morning about ordering book 7. XD He found out he could get the thing half-off if he used a coupon he got, so, naturally, I had to. XD I need to pay him back for the book, of course, but I'M GETTING BOOK 7! EEE!
As for work? Work's... work. Boring, really. The other night, after much scouting around, I have a lead on a potential job as a stitcher in a college costume shop. It's not much, mind. I mean, I'd get paid for working there and it would help flesh out the resume and portfolio some. Not much, but it's something, and a good place to start off. I need to email the woman in charge of the shop and express my interest, but I'm a little nervous. Understandable, though, right? Once I calm down enough, I'll email her and ask her if the position's still available.
I meant to make a run to JoAnn Fabrics over the weekend to pick up a couple of patterns and some fabric. Maybe some yarn and knitting needles. The other day, I had the desire to make a scarf. This, however, didn't wind up happening. I might wait until the weekend as, according to a source, they're selling patterns for cheap from Thursday to Sunday. Once I have that, Jess, I can actually start working out the pattern for your dress.
Speaking of... Jess, I got your message, but only late last night. @___@ I'll try to hop on at some point? Depends on how exhausted I am. If ever you need me, though, it'd honestly just be easier to email me or something: firefly.heart[at]gmail.com. I leave that up during the day while I'm at work. I'd post over there more while I'm at work, too, except my work internet blocked it. @__@ SIGH, work internet. SIGH.
I think that's everything for now? Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's everything. XD
Love you all, but now I have to get back to work. ♥
