well, i leave for seattle tomorrow. another sakuracon has rolled around. i'm excited, but it hasn't really hit me yet. i think it's the whole not feeling rushed for last minute costume thing. it barely feels like i should be leaving already. i'm looking forward to staying with the people i'm rooming with. i've never roomed with so many. it'll be me, david, izzy and jaimmie. and we're staying in this new place so close to the con. it'll be nice to be within walking distance.

in truth i do have many things to do still. i still need to go to the bank and deposit my paycheck and my gst check that i got. it's only for $154, but it's nice to get a check right before going away on a trip. my mom did my income tax, apparently i have some money coming back which will be nice. i made a list on my phone of all the things i should pick-up tomorrow, just so i don't forget. i'm even getting up at 1030, which is pretty unheard of for me, unless i have to work. i should probably be sleeping now.

i kinda felt like a jerk today. i met with john for dinner, and he was sweet and got me some presents for easter. just little things. i dunno why, but i've never done that before. i barely even buy stickers for the kids when it comes to easter. i just don't really celebrate it... so i didn't for a moment think he'd get me gifts. i kind of felt awful and self centered :S

i still need to pack, but both the costumes i'm taking are all bagged up. that just leaves me with switching over my purse to one of my larger ones, sorting through my make up to see what to take and what not to take, and putting everything in a duffel. i'm sure there was more i wanted to say, but i'm just too tired atm.

got my soubi wig in the mail. you can't really tell from that photo, but the colour is actually spot on. it's the perfect shade of ashy blond i wanted. it looks and feels fantastic. speaking of wigs, i had wanted to try and wash the psylocke, to see if maybe it would, i dunno... like make it different or something. because something about it still bothers me. not sure what. but i just ran out of time. i tried the gl wig on, just to see. since it hasn't been out of it's bag since i tried it on the first time after it arrived. it looks even better than it did before, which make sme happy. looks less flat ♥

updated the groove list, and changed my lj theme to reflect my seattle vacation.

i don't really know what i have to say. just thought i'd sit back and update i guess. prepping stuff for seattle. got a gl mask ordered from this really nice man. i'm crossing my fingers it gets here in time, and it should since it'll be coming in from airmail. so dude said about 8 business days. i would go into it, and how epic this man was, but i should really be going to bed atm.

due to the time change i haven't really been sleeping well. i fucking hate daylight savings, for realzies. it's also messed up my work. people are like used to eating at certain times, so i'm getting busier and having customers come in way later. suppose i should be happy some people are coming in at all. i've still been pulling half my tips each day and putting them in my bin for con season. i don't know how much cash is in there, nor do i plan on counting it till i have to take it in to the bank to get it exchanged for american for sakuracon next month. i've already pulled $100 out of it to pay for izzy and i's pre-reg. it was my bday gift to her. hotels still aren't booked, but i'm not stressing about that much. it looks like we'll have a pretty fair sized group with us to room with so costs should stay down, and with hotwire sometimes the best deal are when you book late.

jaimmie's figuring out if she can make it. i hope she can come, that would be magical.
in other news, it's tax season. i generally love tax season, i always get money back because i'm a worthless shell of a human being. i do love me some money...

my list of shit to finish for scon is really short.
-take in arm band for psylocke costume
-get mask and figure out make-up for green lantern
-book, or get someone else to book, hotel room/rooms

so i'm in pretty good shape. i've been biting my nails and it's horrible and gross, so i asked liv if she maybe wants to get her nails done with me this weekend. she seemed pleased by this, so we're going on friday. i think i want silver, that way it'll match both my costumes for scon. so would black though... updated the groove list
