Early this morning, my Great Grandmother died at the age of 98...
All six of her great grandchildren have been asked to be the pallbearers for the service and the funeral...

Border Raids is also this upcoming weekend.

I'm going to be MIA for quite a while...


EDIT: On my lunch break/times I have access to a computer, I've been scanning art... I pushed this off my front page with more favs, but I have to keep showing it if only one other person might see it. It makes me feel better every time I look at it.
Solace

HOLY CRAP

I come back after getting the computer fixed and I have 86 deviations and 29 messages to wade through...

In other news, I will be attempting to attending Border Raids XXXVI. This is looking very promising in happening, I've already started making garb. Which means you'll get to see it. So good times.

EDIT: I'm goin', WOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I got my two chemises done today for sleeping in. But those are too sheer for modeling outside of my house.

Also, I got a job. Internship for now, but she's promised me a paying position after I get all my hours done (we went for intern first because if I got paid then I had to work twice as many hours for it to count towards my degree requirement, and we weren't sure if she had that much for me so I could be done by August 1st). So, for now, the extent of my money coming in is mowing my grandparents lawn. Even though I'm totally an underpaid mexican while doing it, $20 a week isn't too bad when I've limited my spending as much as I can.

Hey guys,

This will be going multiple places as I get the time and the access to do it (currently at work, with my boss kind enough to give me the time to get things straightened out on forums and such). But, this a notification that I won't be around online almost at all for an undetermined amount of time. In the epic storms that went through last night, and multiple power fluctuations we had on my end of town, we think it did something to our computer. As of this morning all it will do is boot up, bring up the login screen, but it won't give you a mouse or recognize any other kind of user input with anything but an error beep (essentially making the login screen nothing but a glorified picture). Until we figure out how to fix this (if it can be fixed) or get a new computer, I'm essentially internet and computer-less at home for the time being. Thankfully though, I recently backed up my personal files (except for the majority of the music we have, which was kept in someone else's folder), so the only thing that might really be lost is all the programs and settings (which is almost as bad as loosing all my personal files). Anyway, whatever I may have had going on with you personally online, or on whatever forum I copy this onto, it's going to have to go on hiatus until further notice. Hopefully, that hiatus won't be too long. =/


Sincerely,
Jessica

2k pageviews, wooo!

In other news, I went to local SCA fighter practice today. I actually had armor to wear, and I actually had some semblance of a battle with good old Ekkill. GOOD FUCKIN TIMES! I am well on my way to becoming a warrior, what spec has yet to be seen (gg to those who got that). I need to do some modification on my armor though (I bought it off a woman who quit fighting after she developed some problems after having her two kids, so it wasn't originally built for me), I already have a very large, very angry purple bruise developing in my right armpit because I found out I can't throw a leg shot with out catching on my own chest piece. Also, I have to fight without my glasses because of the way my helm fits (I've been told this gives me an advantage though, because I can't be faked out by subtle movements most fighters try on 20/20 people). My helm, which I believe is made out of steel, rings like a fucking church bell when hit with a proper blow. My ears, needless to say, were ringing for about an hour after Ekkill got the first good shot to my head. So, we'll have to do some deadening to that before I do any serious fighting.

And between the lawn mowing and sword practice I've been doing, I am most assuredly developing guns. *flexes her arms* Let the mens turn me away now! This weekend I'll likely be trying to head to crown tourney just to see what happens. There has been much crown drama and technicalities and kingdom law drug out and I'll just leave it at this... Our new king was dethroned.
So, if I go, I'll be posting this weekend on the whole story and what went down. If not, you'll have to wait until I hear the story from someone who went.



EDIT: Alas, I didn't get to go to crown tourney, but the internet is a wondrous thing, especially when updated promptly. YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!! And DOUBLE YAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!
