"I hurt myself today..."

ravenI'm supposed to have made a decision by now.
I haven't.
Of course not.
Pedar and I were watching M*A*S*H. He didn't talk about it.
Neither did I.
I don't think I'll ever be quite comfortable watching that episode again(!)
SG-5 is more important. No, it isn't, but it's so much better to think about.
It's in two weeks. A week on Thursday, it looks like me, Em (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snowdrop24), Hannah (purplerainbow) and Clare (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
osiris13) are going to the Trafford Centre, which I'm all for as I haven't been there in ages, and I couldn't go the last time because of my exams! And then, Friday, we go to the con, and spend three days at SG-5, complete with costumes and extreme nutty fangirlishness...
(A brief aside - I just got up and went into my bathroom because I thought my mother was calling me. She said she wasn't - she was thinking about calling me. Odd).
And then there's the question of my costume. I have no idea how to stick the feathers onto the dress. Em's remarkably perceptive suggestion is to glue them. I don't want to glue them! But I can't see how to sew them. In all, the costume will comprise:
And by nothing else, I mean nothing else. I'm going to be barefoot in the middle of winter. Hands up if you're a demented fangirlie.
But in all honesty, I can't wait. I'll have to find clothes, stuff to take with me, all that kind of thing. When we first planned this, I was still in America, thinking there was no way in hell we could go. And then Em and Hathor both emailed me, saying "It's in Blackpool! w00tthisrocksw00t!" or words to that effect. And then we planned the whole thing by email, before I got home from the States. At the time I said, "And now all we have to do is wait until October."
And October is here. A week on Thursday will be Em's birthday. Need a present for her. Shit. She's very hard to buy for.
And I have just finished painting my nails. They are no longer red but silver. Seems I only wear four colours of nail varnish anyway - red, silver, white and black.
I've been listening to this song on repeat lately. This, Globes and Maps, and Straw Dog.
I haven't.
Of course not.

- A black, long, sleeveless dress with hood, with lots of black feathers (hopefully) sewn to it.
- Black nail varnish on my toenails and fingernails.
- Nothing else.
