The kidney problems prevented me from doing last weekend what I ended up doing today. I did a lot today. It was a good day.

I watched a great tutorial on how to make kitty ears out of clay so I've been wanting to swing by Hobby Lobby for supplies. While there, not only did I manage to pick up all that stuff for the kitty ears but I also got the stuff to make Selphie's nunchucka. I managed to find some sturdy, lengthy foam sticks that are the perfect width. They are a bit dense but there's no way these babies should break the weapon rules. For the chain link connecting the chucks, I'm going to try something a bit unorthodox. My idea is to take pipe cleaners and bend them into a general chain link shape, reinforce that shape with several layers of tape, and then paint them silver. If all goes as well as it does in my head, I should have a stable link of chain that can't hurt anyone. I couldn't find any clear plastic balls to start working on my kokiri fairy though. Hobby Lobby is freaking huge and there are no signs or labels on the aisles or areas so it's really hard to find anything there. I'm either going to have to look harder, try a different store, or just order one online. I'm already going to have to order the LED lights and batteries online as it is. The wings! Damnit, I knew I'd forget to look for something. I meant to look for the stuff to make the wings. Poor Karl was dying following me around and I spent over an hour in there. I felt rushed damn it! ^_^

We went thrifting! If you're into weird clothes like I am, thrifting is your dream come true. Thrift Town is pretty damn big and they have so much crap. Especially in womens clothes. My orginal plan was to look for any yellow or green jumper dresses that could be altered instead of Genean having to make the entirety of both dresses from scratch but I couldn't find any suitable prototypes. Nor could I find a green turtle neck shirt for under Saria's dress. I did however find lots of other goodies. Karl found some too. We both made a strange observation as well. The people who were shopping in the store were much nicer and had a high class air about them. You see a lower class type of person walking around Target or Walmart than you do here. Not class as defined by wealth but class in how nice and polite they were.

After the thrifting and hobby lobbying we headed over to Mudscuppers for their Toys for Tots piercing special. My orginal plan (do I see a pattern forming here?) was to get several toys because helping out or any type of charity just makes me feel good all around but when we got to the store, Karl pointed out a neat scooter and suggested that. It was much more than we were required to spend for the piercing to be free (25 bucks) but it'll definitely make a kid in need very happy. It looked like a lot of fun and it would be ideal for a boy OR a girl. Good stuffs all around. I really liked the shop. It had a good atmosphere, really nice girl working the counter, lots of kewl shit around to look at, and the wait was short. And they were busy even! I went in after about a ten minute wait. The piercer was also the tattoo artist and also the owner of the shop. He was awesome and complimented my unicorn purse and my monkey necklace. Said I looked a lot younger than I am. I got my nose pierced and It's the second painful piercing I've gotten thus far. My belly button was a cake walk compared to my nose and my tongue nearly made me pass out. But I needz more! Karl is really weird about the whole piercing thing. If I'm lucky, I should be able to talk him into getting my eyebrow done, and then my nipples. I DEFINITELY won't be getting my lip done anytime in the near or distant future. On my way out I managed to scare the hell out of a girl who was there to get her tongue pierced. She asked what I got done then told me what she was there for and I showed her I had it already. She asked if it hurt and I was like "Oh god yes.. you might lose consciousness". Har har har. I also got a really cute dangly belly button ring with a four leaf clover. Karl bought an hourglass with a dragon wrapped around it and a dragon bottle opened. As I said, lot of kewl shit there.

So I need to get to making some kitty ears and working on Selphie's nunchucka. I also need to get back to my PBE-RP with Nida and finish my character portrait of Sa'hash for the D&D game. Had one session of Karl and Eric's "Ashen Dreams" campaigne so far and it's pretty kewl.

OH.. I also cut myself some bangs. I was REALLY pissed right at first and felt like a complete idiot but they are starting to grow on me. I'm thinking now maybe I didn't do such a horrible job on them. They looked like hell immediately after though. The dots on my face are just eyeliner. I was playing with make-up techniques.
