kidsxheroesLike everyone else, it has been an age since i last updated :/ I didn't mean for it to be and had things i wanted to flail around about...but then days pass and i think "oh, i'll do it another day" and then suddenly it's been weeks.
Anyway, first off i've come down with lurgy. What started off as a sore throat yesterday steadily got worse and worse today and i now have a bitching cold. My throat hurts so much, i can't breathe, everything aches, i don't have any vapour rub and i cannot sleep proped up but i need to so i can maybe be able to breathe during the night. Rad.
I think work folks are expecting me not to go in tomorrow as my decline at work today was noted. Being at work is doing me no favours either as it's cold and damp as all fuck so we stick on all the heaters with have. It's takes forever to warm up but then it's just too warm and stuffy and dry and isn't helping with my cold. I want to go in though because i want ti finish the USA flag i was working on last week. I'd never made one start to finish before and it's gone together really well and i haven't fucked up or had to unpick and re-sew any seams (and i had to sew 22 seams on this flag, aww yeeeah!) and it looks really good. The printed star panel finally came into us late this afternoon so it can be finished off. I don't want it taking off me and being finished if im not there cause it will only take half an hour or so then it's ready to go out :( I don't think they would but i still worry. I had a good week with flags last week. I made a Jamaica too, it was the first time i'd done a flag that crosses on the diagonal and they are a bitch to do and get the right size and still have the corners measure properly. It's to go out with the USA flag for something for the Olympics in Birmingham and the guys is being very particular about it measuring a certain length on the diagonal...
I got it bang on to size and measurement first time \o/ FUCK YEAH \o/ This is probably very boring for people to read but it was a good week and a big deal to me. I have loved doing these flags :3
Whatelse. The other week i finally brought a Wacom tablet and have been having a play around with that. I lose my time so quickly on it and it's fun. I'm probably doing everything "wrong" when trying to draw digitally but i will keep just messing around with it.
That said, everything i try and draw lately is just not happening for me. Tablet or on paper. It's very frustrating and i just DON'T KNOW WHY I CAN'T DRAW OMG /o\ Im not even like, forcing myself or anything. Im just doodling when i get the itch too but everything is turning out crap so yeah. That's bumming me out.
Did y'all see that MSI video chat deelie the other week? It was on a work night and i was going to be sensible and go to bed...but then i didn't and IM SO GLAD I STAYED UP! I was pretty sure the announcement was going to be US TOUR Y'ALL, WHATUP! (part of me was convinced it would be a farewell tour but no!) and i am SO STOKED \o/\o/\o/\o/ Steve could not make the chat for whatever reason but it was so, so good to see them interacting together through the power/fail of technology and they are so excited to tour and i am so excited for them and im such a bad grown up that i am making plans to go visit the east coast and see friends and go to shows cause why not?!
Yeah, i've actually made ~plans and notes and i've got a hotel reserved and my show tickets brought so...yeah. NYC/NJ, I AM COMING FOR YOU!
I was meant to be seeing Alkaline Trio next week...but that is no longer happening due to Skiba breaking his foot. Boooo :( Oh well, i can wait a little longer.
I feel like there is other stuff i should be mentioning but it's not coming to me. My life isn't mad exciting so there probably isn't anything major im forgetting. Now, to try and sleep and then get frustrated when i can't and want to kill everything :/
