beansideYawn, this morning feels early. Boodle woke me up at 3, but when I shooed her off, she didn't come back til 5:15, which I felt was very kind and considerate of her. She's now had her breakfast, and I'm having mine (by which I mean coffee). Today is sure to be busy, and I need to get ready for it.
It's a full week at work, which is going to be very long, what with the prospect of getting to go away for the second Ghost Concert. I've been very busy getting ready for it. Fans will trade and give away beaded bracelets, so I started making some or them. I tried temporary tattoos, but those didn't work so well. I may give it one more try, but we'll see. I think I may have misunderstood the directions.
I also have been assembling my outfit for the concert. People dress up super gothy for the shows, some dressing as one of the various incarnations of the front man (all the same dude, just different characters.) Some dress in clergy robes or collars, some in nuns habits. I dressed up nice last time, but this time we're going over the top. I found a different shirt in the boxes that's black, adn has billowy diaphanous sleeves. It's super low cut, so I do need to find a necklace of some sort to break up the line between throat and boobs, but I figure a quick trip to Hot Topic will do for that. I also got a nun's veil, which I'm still debating on. I also got some black lipstick, which seems to stay fairly well. I'm going to look a bit over the top, but if you can't have fun, why bother. Plus, I'm also going to look hot. And that makes me happy, even if Bucky Barnes would look at my eyeliner and go "whoa."
I've got a few things coming today, including a big BPAL order, which I'm very excited about. I got the incense and gourmand packages. I'm going to spend this evening sniffing things. Also, my IPSY bag comes today, which should be fun. Usually our mail comes kind of late, but I'm going to stay up til it gets here, dammit.
Yesterday, we had our Strixhaven game. It's a lot of fun, and I finally feel like I have a grip on my character. I'd planned for her to be a kind of sulky goth, but it turns out I'm too practical to even play that. Instead, she's a bit of an Ursula Vernon heroine. She's a lot of fun to play and I'm enjoying her a lot. Our schedules continue to be a mess, so the games are a little way off, but we'll get there. (July-Sept is just brutal.)
This week, we have one possible game on Wednesday, but aside from that, we just have the concert on Saturday. After this, we shall have some quiet time. Games, but no other extravagant outings. Rebuild the savings account a bit.
Then, in August, we have a fandom get together, that I'm very much looking forward to. I'm renting a van, and picking up everyone from DC up at the MARC station and we're going to Rodizio's grill. I love fandom get togethers, and this is a good chunk of people from the TTRPG server. It should be a lot of fun.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get ready for work. Everyone have the best Monday you can Monday!
