rustling underwear is sexy

true story, in the 1900's a woman wore underwear that "rustled" because it was sexy...

i don't think that's so true anymore....

i have come to the realization however that i really do have a certain affinity for old things

particularly the late 18th, 19th and early 20th century...

i find it incredible the differences between life and living as the years progress.

and truly love the "old-fashioned" style of, just about everything. i realize that as a woman i would be very limited in what i could do. nonetheless there's nothing like a good day of hard work...

i also realize that many of my notions of life "back-in-the-day" is probably rather romantic, but a girl's allowed to dream...

back to the 21st century;

i feel like this is going to be a good week. tomorrow bodes well, despite all the work i've got to do...

tuesday is already great cause i'm having coffee with nate after class...

wednesday if not sooner will be a big day, when i find out whether or not i got the job at the Air Zoo...and if it's the case that i do, which i REALLY REALLY hope i do, then i can also put in my 2 weeks notice at Full City...that would be so wonderful, though work there has been better. money's not much better, but the work is. i think i've finally gotten onto keiths good side. which is always nice. but still...leaving there would be...wonderful...
the interview for the air zoo went really well. My job would be a ride operator...a costumed ride operator! :D 9-5 job, at least min wage. maybe more. and if it's really slow i can read or listen to my ipod or work on hw...which would be very helpful!!!

thursday...no work, one class...haha nough said.

friday, may or may not work. if i don't work then i'm going to an Art Show at school...to which i submitted a few pieces...

saturday...heh...that will be fun...i'm going to Nog Fest at Fiona's...Trace and all them'll be there. ooo...i've got to make an ornament for Fiona's Tree before then...
i believe me and my family are going to go and get the christmas tree that afternoon...

so yeah...this week is looking good.

------------

i started putting the ruffles on my Fort Dress....O_O that is going to take FOREVER....and at the end of this week i've got to pack up my sewing stuff until the holidays are over... :(

but i like how it's coming along so far...i'm REALLY excited to wear it!!! i've been pondering a corset too...i don't think i'll make one, but i might buy one...i think they make for better silhouettes...and the dresses fit like their supposed to...

i've been talking to this guy who's a friend of Fiona and Trace that i met last week. He lives in New York and is a Graphic Designer, pretty interesting guy we have quite a bit in common.

he's a good connection to have :D

i'm getting better at this whole networking thing...slowly...but surely...

oh! p.s. really cool website

www.blurb.com

you can publish your own books...it's really cool!

i'm working on two books...a Mackinac Book...that tells my personal story of the summer, i think a nice memento to have with all the pictures and stories in one place...

and they've got a feature where you can import blogs...such as this one to publish. I've always wanted to have my blogs in a print version, mostly because i tend to blog more than physically journal, but it would be nice to have an actual copy of it, like a diary.

i think that's all for tonight...i will probably update as the week goes on...

hopefully everything goes well!!!!
