Jinx


    Location:
    Ohio
    Home or favorite faire My home faire, and the only one I've been able to attend, is ORF. I'm hoping to make it to the others in Ohio, as well as TNRF and Bristol in the near future.
    About Me A few things friends have said to describe me: From Chris B: "If Jack Sparrow ever met you, he'd say 'Jinx is here! HIDE THE RUM!' But not because you'd pull an Elizabeth and burn it. Oh, no. It's because you'd drink it all." Courtney: "Have I told you lately that I heart you?" Hitsu: "Yeah, you're kind of insane, but that's why we love you!" Chris J (my husband): -Upon seeing my newest bodice- "Thank you." Mei-Mei: "Sometimes, I worry about you. Then I remember who I'm thinking of, and realize that it's perfectly normal. For, y'know, YOU."
    Music I listen to EVERYTHING. And I mean it. You should see my playlist.
    Movies V for Vendetta, The Princess Bride, ALL THREE Pirates movies, Ever After, Chocolat, Finding Neverland, The Corpse Bride, and DOGMA.
    TV Two shows, and two only. House and The Tudors.
    Books All of them? I am the ultimate Book Whore, really. I LOVE Harry Potter, k? Mostly, though, I love Historical Fiction, Fantasy, the occasional mystery, INTERESTING non-fiction (pirates, the Renaissance, that sort of thing), and sometimes Dan Brown.
    Likes My husband, my friends, Weezer Wonka and Mr. Crucio Jack Sparrow Stinky Pumpkinpieface (my dog and cat, respectively.), garb, salad, pasta, pirates, Harry Potter, snow globes, pictures, anything to do with England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, shoes, jeans, music, earrings, unicorns, horses, dolphins, cats of all sorts, dogs of all sorts, animals of all sorts, sewing (though I don't do much yet), ale, rum, mead, Guinness, nice people, acting, singing, dancing, sleep (though I don't get much), things of an adult nature, Yon Kilt Lifting Stick, candles, getting books as presents, being the teeniest bit spoiled by my husband, diet soda, debating just about anything, and my "Ye Can Have Me Booty, BUT Leave me CHEST alone" sign.
    Dislikes Mean people, rude people, bugs, red meat, regular soda, drugs, going to the doctor, people that abuse animals or other people, misbehaved children, hate crimes, people that discriminate against others, hate crimes, and the smells of: freshly mowed grass, popcorn, burnt popcorn, and pig farms.
    Hobbies Going to ORF, driving around aimlessly, reading, acting a fool with my friends, cuddling with the hubby, going to flea markets with Courtney, cooking (or trying to), and spending waaaay too much time on the computer.

    Things I need to do before July:

    -Favors: What the hell am I making, anyway?

    -A new skirt: Still need the pattern...and a definite colour decision.


    -New bodice: Make final decision on colour/fabric and get the damned thing ordered already!

    -Bloomers: All y'gotta do is hem the damn things and put a drawstring in...get it DONE, seriously!

     

    Things I need to do before September:

    -Chris' wizard robes: Get pattern, get his final decision on colour(s), find fabric(s).

    -A new shirt for Chris: Find pattern he likes, decide on colour, find fabric.

    -Belt: Get it.

    -Pouch: Just put the belt attachment on, and you're done.  Seriously woman.  Not that hard.

     

    Yeah.  Keep after me, people.  I am the Queen of Procrastinationland.

    It's been a while since I've been here.  I've been crazy busy with work and house work and the ever-wonderful husband and friends.  ^.^

     

    So, what's been going on?  Let's see...

     

    Last time I was here, I was talking about going to "Albania" to pick up a friend.  We went (after a night of serious car-drama!), picked her up, and had a BLAST!  The car ride there was quite eventful. Court (the other girl in my profile picture) and I thought we were lost at one point.  We pulled over to look at the atlas (always have a back-up plan, Mapquest cannot be fully trusted!), and something nudged the car, or something.  xD  All I know is the car moved.  As we were pulling out of the spot we'd pulled over to, I noticed that there was a dead deer lying next to us.  Obviously, it wasn't that that had hit the car.  It'd been there for some time.  Pretty gross.  I'd also like to mention that West Virginia has exceptionally large doors.  They really do.  O.O  I was most excited to go over the Silver Bridge Memorial, being the paranormal junkie that I am.  ^.^  After about 6 hours, we reached "Albania," picked up our friend, and had an amazing ride back as we all sung along with my iPod.  Yay!  When we got home, we pretty much crashed.  'Twas quite the long ride.  The next day, we went to the Circleville Pumpkin Show and ate too much hobo meat (seriously, hobo steak sandwiches).  It was some grade A hobo, though.  (Loooong, involved inside joke)

     

    THEN, we went to ORF.  Sooooooo much fun, as always.  I got a little pumpkin signed by Robert Dudley, Court bought me a lovely goblet for my birthday, and I FINALLY found a copy of Utopia.

     

    Taking her home was just as eventful.  We saw a car from Canada and made a sign that said "BLAME CANADA!"  They laughed.  ^.^  I guess they watch South Park, too.  xD

     

    Since then, I've been super busy with work.  I work in retail, and it is, of course, "THE SEASON!"  I love Christmas.  xD  Despite the fact that I hate commercialization, I adore Christmas still.

     

    The hubby is doing wonderfully, despite injuring his hand back in September.

     

    I'm getting ready to apply to OSU for this coming fall.  I do hope I get in.  I also hope that I'll be able to take the majority of my classes online, since I do live 50 miles away from campus.  We cannot afford to move right now.  O.o  I've changed my major.  Before, I was planning on going for Journalism, but now I intend to major in History (oooh, big shocker.  I'm a nerd) and minor in Education.  I'd like to be a high school History teacher.  I do hope it pans out.  ^.^

     

    That's the short version of the past two months!
