Emily the Florist (and Dancer)

January 30th, 2003 · 12 Comments

I went to my first Floral Design lab today. Created a beautiful bouquet of spray roses, carnations, daisy mums, heather, waxflowers, statice, and aster. And addressed the card to myself. No one else ever gives me flowers, so I must provide my own. I’m really liking that class. So much fun, and very little pressure. […]

Emily the Felon

January 29th, 2003 · 3 Comments

Okay, not really. I did do some breaking and entering last night, but since it was into my own apartment, I don’t think it counts. See, usually when I get home from work on Tuesdays, my sisters are already home. So I don’t usually bother bringing my keys. However, yesterday Lisa and Laura decided to […]

Happy news

January 27th, 2003 · 7 Comments

I was attacked by a mad ravenous plot bunny last night. So Sirius is going on the back burner for now. I was hopelessly stuck, anyway. Instead, I’ve got a sequel to Look to Your Dreams rapidly forming. Takes place during the summer after Voldie’s downfall. It will have an actual plot! *gasp* It’s called […]

Characters addendum

January 24th, 2003 · No Comments

I recently realized that I forgot a fandom when I did my character list. Let me correct that now. So, in David Eddings’ Belgariad and Mallorean, the character I most: Identified with? Queen Layla. Found attractive? Garion. I know, I know. I can’t help it. Hated or were thoroughly annoyed by? I didn’t like Salmissra […]

Crazy for Crazy for You!

January 23rd, 2003 · 3 Comments

I always feel like dancing when I come out of a musical. Just saw Crazy For You at BYU. It was great fun. I love musicals. I want to live in one. Some people think I do live in one, but that’s beside the point. Don’t you wish that you could burst into song with […]

Winter Weather. . .

January 22nd, 2003 · 4 Comments

my eye. Leslie has stated that she’s sick of snow. I probably would be too, at this point, if we’d actually had any. I think we’ve gotten a total of 4 inches since November. It’s ridiculous. I’ve been walking around in my sweater, for heaven’s sake! January weather is not supposed to be sweater weather! […]

Casting confimrations

January 21st, 2003 · 1 Comment

Rats. Actually, it’s not all bad news. Gary Oldman I can handle. Pam Ferris is brilliant. David Thewlis– well. I already said my piece. I guess I’ll just have to have faith that they made the right decision. They haven’t gone wrong with any of the other casting decisions (they even picked the *exact* actress […]

Weekend schtuff

January 20th, 2003 · 2 Comments

I haven’t been online since Friday, because I went home for the weekend and our dial-up went down. It’s not really their fault, I think it’s the phone company’s, but I was still without internet access all of Saturday and Sunday. I’m at work now, and I just barely finished catching up on all the […]
