today

Went to Spokane with mom and did shopping and whatnot. I got three balls of yarn- some browns/orange Malabrigo and rainbow Moshi Plus and some bright Noro Kureyon. And we went to Halloween stores- uh uh, she got some costume and I got a Gryffindor tie at one and an aviator scarf cos it was on sale, and at this other store I just wandered around, being tired and wanting to leave, until I saw the large collection of hats. I love hats. I had found this cheap aviator's cap, like one with fur and whatnot, and thought it was pretty cool so i sort of wore it around the store to find my mom- a worker must have overheard me talking about cos he came up to me and was like, here is this other aviatar hat- and it was much cooler, sort of leather-looking with buckles and the like. And I found a 'chaffauer's cap' which looks like the hat John Lennon wore in Help/A Hard Day's Night. Well, mine's a bit more, er, puffier? it puffs more, his is more flat, but it's a very cool hat for 4 bucks.

For Halloween this year I'm gonna be an aviator? or Amelia Earhart. AE has short hair. I do not. I want short hair. But I don't think I'll cut it for a Halloween costume..also, I look terrible with short hair- emphasizes my very round face, I am told. My face is not so round as they say it is. Anyway- so the scarf and the cap and I should round up a leather/leather-ish aviator/bomber jacket somewhere...not like I'm doing anything for Halloween, yah.

oh! this second costume store I was at, I was just wandering about and there's a '70s!' section, so I wander over to it; tie-dye and peace symbols and floral prints but something catches my eye- British Revolution! and British Explosion! costumes. OMG. I geek-freaked. Two Sgt.Pepper-esque costumes- but a dark green and a darrk blue and there were only 3 colors, wtf? so very cool, though. I was half-considering it- and then realized there cannot be simply ONE. You have to have four. I mean. I don't have any friends, so- no one would dress up with me. Also, again: all-dressed-up-and-nowhere-to-go situation here. The other one, Revolution! one was The Suit- their Ed Sullivan stuits, grey with the black colors- I wanted this. But for 50 dollars? and also, again, the Lone Beatle? sigh.

So this yarn- thisss yarrn. Malabrigo. Is gorgeous and brown-y colors with these splashes of orange and yellow in it- so at first I was like, HAAT but then I think the splashes of orange would look funky and not in a good way, so maybe a scarf or cowl. God, a cowl out of this would be awesome. So. COWL.
this Noro isn't alot of yarn and should stripe pretty I should think, so a hat, maybe a ribbed cap or something like that.
And I need to figure out this..fuck, Mochi Plus. It's rainbow and soft. WHAT to do? a hat maybe.

I'm getting distracted. ...yarn? patterns. rightrightright...very tired.
Watched Boondock Saints with my mom tonight. I don't think she quite appreciated it as much as my brother and me..

err

So in the days since my last post I've finished CRC and done other stuff. None of, in retrospect, very important. My dad was a jerk. He made up for it. Sandy flushed my eyeliner accidentally. And that sucks because it was like the only eyeliner what made my eyes look good. We saw The Hangover. It was hilarious. We went back to mom's. Mom's is so much better. I fucking love my bed.
I know I've said this before but I am obsessed with Doctor Who. And now I want to Doctor Who cosplay. Very badly. Listen, is cosplay a verb? I think so. Anyway. I want to be be fem!Jack and fem!Four and if I can find a suit for it, fem!Ten. Or like not even fem for all these, I just want to wear a fucking Doctor Who scarf with the hat and the sweater vest and jacket and go around offering people jelly babies, goddamnit. I love Four. Possibly even more then Ten. At least TB stuck in it for the long(er) run. Anyway. This I kind of want to get done by October for Halloween so I can run about doing said things and be only slightly insane. It's more acceptable on Hallow's Eve to dress up weirdly and go about, I've learned the uh hard way.
But first things first I've got to get my Harry Potter costume in order, for the movie opening. I've got Quidditch goggles and a gold and red wristband (thanks to a Raveller) and I dun think I will wear a scarf in uh July but I will need a tie and hmm what else? Bit hot for a sweater vest, no? Maybe a skirt or grey trousers. Oh, and a button up white shirt. Which will be tricky. To find one what fits me. And eh. A wand! Definetly. And wand holder. From Alivan's mebbe. Alivan's has bloody brilliant stuff, do they not?
Today I watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks for work, for Monday Movie Madness and I fell asleep. It was long. and kind of boring. I liked the Professor Brown guy though.
My heart's been acting up lately. After I eat it does a weird thumpy thing. Argh.
Hnn. I think I will go knit. Or ah. Something. Maybe I will knit a wristband or fucking hell I don't know. Or finished Headless Christopher Eccleston, which I ought to do really but ugh I am le tired.

this is a reminder to myself: 105 days

..till the new Harry Potter movie opening, and I need a costume. And perhaps I will throw a party...(for one?) and, so, here's what I need to buy/make.
Hogwarts Student Hat: make-http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hogwarts-student-hat
or buy- http://www.alivans.com/custom/cart/edit.asp?p=84902. Buy is cheaper then usual, but make looks easy. Would need to buy patch for hat, tho.
Sweater/jumper/cardigan: buy-http://www.alivans.com/custom/cart/edit.asp?p=96071, http://www.whimsicalley.com/search_results.asp?txtsearchParamTxt=sweater&txtsearchParamCat=60&txtsearchParamType=ANY&iLevel=1&txtsearchParamMan=ALL&txtsearchParamVen=ALL&txtFromSearch=fromSearch&btnSearch.x=4&btnSearch.y=19. or make- essentially a grey sweater with blue and gold edging. Buy looks easier. Also, WA has quiddicth sweaters, if I were so inclined. It'll be June. Maybe not.
TIE- Buy, for defs. Alivan's has 'em but I should check ebay. Also, for...uh...BADGES! Right. And a scarf. Oh, June. Right. I will incoperate my quidditch goggles into the outfit, somehow...
