Bad, bad me. But she who dies with the most fabric wins, right? And fabric.com is having an awesome sale, and silk taffeta is one of those things I'm kind of unable to resist. Especially when I've come back to my room after a long day and have to deal with floor-mate asshattery. Seriously, I hate living with these people; they're driving me crazy. If I get one more note on my door about taking out the trash in the common area when 1)I'm the only one who's been taking the trash out for the past two weeks, so I got irritated and just didn't this week (thought someone might get the hint? no? okay), and 2) the GIANT FUCKING FED-EX BOX taking up the whole floor is NOT MINE...I'm going to be one unhappy passive-aggressive little person. Seriously, I don't mind taking out common area trash, really, I don't, but a box you got in the mail? I do not see why I need to take that out to the dumpster.
Ahem. Anyway, as compensation for my woes, silk taffeta. I would like to blame all the people on my f-list who have been posting about the sale, thanks very much. :)
Though...indulging myself in silk taffeta did make me choose - between spending more money on my Halloween (Black Diamonds) costume and on said taffeta. The silk taffeta won, I guess. In my cranky mood, I've just said, to hell with Halloween; I don't have the time to be anything cool and sparkly. I'll just bring up a corset or two when I come back from fall break and call it a day. Stupid Halloween. And stupid floormates.
Oh, also: I had my group presentation on The Mists of Avalon today, and I wore my medieval dress (shuttup, we had a "creative portion" in which we acted out scenes from the book, so it was Totally Valid); the only question anybody had at the end of our presentation was, "Did you make your dress?" Yes, I did, and yay, everyone wasproperly adoring of it, which gave me warm fuzzies!
