Let's Craft Something!

I've always heard "No news is good news," but it's been a week and I haven't heard anything from either of the schools where I've interviewed.  I thought for sure they would at least send a "the position has been filled" email.  My hopes aren't crashing down yet, though.

Although, our anime convention is next weekend!  I'm super excited.  I've been getting my sew on (as you could probably tell from last week's WIP Wednesday).  You know, I'm not even as into anime as I was when I started going to these conventions, but I still get super excited every time.  I guess it's just one of those times where I get to be as strange as I want.  I'm not saying that I'm much weirder than I am day-to-day, but I get to dress up in pretty steampunk attire, walk around with painted Nerf guns, talk in a British accent if I want, and attend a tea party without anyone judging me.

The down side is that I like to incorporate new costumes pretty much every year.  This means I either have to shell out a bunch of money, or sew.  I don't hate the idea of sewing; I just know I'm not great at it and require a lot of help.  Since I don't like asking for help, I usually end up putting it off until the last minute.

Since I'm notorious for this, my uncles now give me a hard time saying, "So you're going to be over here at 4 am the night before working on it."  That was one time, Brent.  One time.  Nana keeps asking if I have made progress.  Even my other uncle is starting in.  I don't mind since they mean well, though.  (Except for Brent, who is just taunting me.)

This year, I am determined to not be over there sewing at the last minute, nor am I going to be sewing at home at the last minute.  I'm going to be done earlier in the week.
