Anyways, that's what it feels when you rediscover the wonders of having wireless internet!
For the past few months, I've been hookin' up ol' Betsy the old fashioned way... with a gawddarn ethernet cord.
*segue* ether.. net? What does that even mean? Why do they call it that. "Ether" is such a... ethereal word. ... ha. haha... *unsegue*
Really, what use is a laptop when you are confined to a desk? Laptops were meant to be wild and free. Go on, Betsy. Thata girl. Hum your little internal fan off into the sunset!
... Yeah. Life is better now. I haven't blogged for a while though. I keep doing these projects and then I think, "Oh, OH! I want to put this on my blog!" And then I decide I am too busy and I should read some homework instead, but I end up not reading the homework at all and....
Well today I thought to myself,
"Hey you, I know you have homework. But really? Aren't you just going to do a good 2/3 of the night procrastinating?"
"Why yes, self. I won't lie, that sounds pretty precise."
"Why don't you just acknowledge and come to terms with your procrastination and do something productive with it?"
"By Jove! That sounds like a great idea!"
So here I sit. (In my big couch chair thanks to the wonders of wireless internet)
This is officially catch-up blog #1.
So lets see.

A big (ongoing) project I did recently was..
Dye my hair!
I bleached it, walked around as a blonde for a bit, then added some color!
I've been super inspired by this girl's flickr page I randomly came across:

and now all I want is to be a different color everyday!

Most of October I was working on tons of costumes for my work. We were putting on a carnival event and I decided that it just wouldn't suffice unless everyone was in costume, so here is what I came up with:
The ringmaster!
Ruffled shirt and bowtie/cummerbund: Thrifted
The jacket was thrifted and then altered to be a tailcoat, and the red collar, buttons and cuffs were added. Making regular jackets into tailcoats is a skill I think everyone should use! So I'll post a tute when I get the chance.
Here's another one with his hat:
