-CHEERS-

I made no progress today. I mostly slept due to dehydration. >>

Felix · « **Reply #501 on:** July 21, 2010, 04:27:22 pm »

I say yes to friday because if we wait we'll miss the sale ~~and who doesn't love cheap(er) stuff?~~
What time/place do we want to meet? I'm not doing anything on friday, but the morning is probably not so good.

BUT YES YOU SHOULD DO SEASON 3 ZUKO SK.

I still haven't made any progress at all, so you're still ahead of me. xD;

Jaqua: I don't even keep my phone in the same room. If I was sleeping, I wouldn't be woken up by my phone buzzing on the other side of the house. (Though it would probably be rather futile since no one ever texts me, so I don't bother checking my phone that often. I probably wouldn't receive the text until a couple days later anyway.)

Lol weeeeell I have a wig that'll work for him, so I guess I am ahead of you. *shrug* But I've had that wig for years...which means I've been at this stage of progress for years! AHAHAHAHAHAHA--

THREADSPLOSIOOOOOOOON
*thrown back on impact*

I see progress. This is good. ~~I should go do something productive now~~

Yeah, the big JoAnn's sale!! \o/ In between 12:00 and 3:00 would probably work for our little escapade, but to allow for browsing time, before 2:00 would probably be more effective...
Also, are we going to the one in Tigard or one in Portland? In the case of the former, should we meet at BTC and ~~wreak havoc~~ ride the rest of the way together, or meet at the JoAnn's itself?

@Valeria: *smacks* Drink more water! It's not only meant to sit there and look pretty, and you're not a lizard so you can't get it through your skin.
...In fact, even if you were a lizard, this weather would not humor your thirst. So drink. I hassle because I care. >>

Malaria · « **Reply #506 on:** July 22, 2010, 04:22:01 pm »

I like meeting at BTC. Meet there at 12, take the Wes out to Joann's?

nnnnn I'm being better. ><

Kero-sempai · « **Reply #507 on:** July 22, 2010, 04:30:57 pm »

Good girl.

If Felix can go to bed at 10:00 and wake up at 10:00 or 11:00 tommorrow (hint hint nudge nudge), that could work quite well. I'm sure she likes the idea of meeting at 1:00-1:30 better, but with her being a Felix and all, one never can tell.

*goes to attempt to figure out the bus system*

/edit: FUYUKOOOOOOO. <333

jaqua · « **Reply #508 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:20:07 pm »

Okay so I am going camping tomorrow... gnrrrr. I like hanging out with you guys D: Plus I'm sad I'm going to be missing this awesome sale! Why does everything happen at the same time. Damn you Universe.

Malaria · « **Reply #509 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:21:46 pm »

Boo! Don't pay attention to your other relationships!

If you have some specific stuff you need, we could pick it up for you? D:

jaqua · « **Reply #510 on:** July 22, 2010, 06:27:44 pm »

Well.... I figure you guys would know best anyway, so if you see any fabric you think works for Katara and it's for a good price, maybe you could pick it up for me? I can pay you back when I see you next... Which will hopefully be SOON because the summer is like HALF OVER?!

Auricle · « **Reply #511 on:** July 22, 2010, 06:56:45 pm »

Meeting at the Beaverton TC works for me~

Savannah, you don't really need to figure out Trimet just yet, you can ride with me. ' w '

OH and @SK
Western Air Temple episode in season 3 is great for zuko refs. you even get a page of just his expressions and hand movements XD

Malaria · « **Reply #513 on:** July 22, 2010, 09:19:36 pm »

Jaqua: We'd kind of need yardages to get you fabric. ._.

Felix · « **Reply #514 on:** July 22, 2010, 09:22:22 pm »

Hahaha, I don't think I could get to sleep that early if I tried. xD Also... how do I get to Beaverton TC? I tend to get lost outside portland. I also have no idea how long it takes to get there from downtown, so, um. But I could probably manage that time without being too dead. Probably.

Malaria · « **Reply #515 on:** July 22, 2010, 09:30:53 pm »

It's on the Max line, so you just have to get downtown and hop on the westbound Max.

@SK
I also keep meaning to ask, is it okay if I text you? XD I tend to just text and not think about it, but if you prefer not to or have a limited texting plan or something I can stop.

More progress on armor ~ granted I had to make negative progress first, so really there isnt any progress... which is depressing.

sk_chan · « **Reply #518 on:** July 22, 2010, 10:23:10 pm »

Texting is fine.

Felix · « **Reply #519 on:** July 22, 2010, 10:58:24 pm »

I'll try to be there by noon, but I may be late.

(Are you still coming, Yagi? Maybe we can meet downtown first.)

jaqua · « **Reply #520 on:** July 23, 2010, 01:59:00 am »

Ah poop. That's right. Damn yardages... Oh well. There will be more time for fabric in the future.

Also. Guys. GUYS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAME OUT TODAY/TECHNICALLY YESTERDAY. BECAUSE I DO. AND I'M WATCHING IT RIGHT NOW.

A VERY POTTER SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And oh my god it is AMAZING

goatchild · « **Reply #521 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:02:17 am »

GODDAMMIT I'M TOTALLY WATCHING THAT WHEN WE GET BACK FROM JOANN'S.

Felix · « **Reply #522 on:** July 23, 2010, 06:50:09 pm »

I still haven't seen the first one. But eh.

What's the plan for tomorrow?
~~LOOK LOOK I'M CHECKING THE FORUM~~

Malaria · « **Reply #523 on:** July 23, 2010, 09:17:25 pm »

I discovered that the Max is actually the fastest way to get to Fabric Depot. Is there a particular Max stop that's most convenient for you to get to? 'Cause we could meet you there and then take the Max out to the E 122nd stop.

goatchild · « **Reply #524 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:09:47 pm »

After Fabric Depot, we should stop by Hollywood Lights to see what sort of theatre makeup and the like they have. It's down on SW McLoughlin, but there's a bus that goes straight there from the Lloyd Center MAX stop. It's about a 20 minute bus ride. Anyone interested?

Auricle · « **Reply #525 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:54:07 pm »

I have little Hashi all over my face! : D

...And I should probably stay home tomorrow because I don't have money for anything anyways. ' w ';

Hashi · « **Reply #526 on:** July 24, 2010, 12:27:20 am »

@ Auricle: I'm assuming by that statement you mean you got sunburned? XD

Auricle · « **Reply #527 on:** July 24, 2010, 12:30:50 am »

Yes, I'm somewhat pinked after being in the sun this afternoon. I cut off the leaf that was poking into one of little Valeria's leaves.

Felix · « **Reply #528 on:** July 24, 2010, 12:40:02 am »

Everyone loves poking Valeria. c:

Okay, I looked it up. It looks like the stop at NE 60th is best. What time should we meet? (though I've never taken that bus before so I'm not sure how accurate my time-prediction will be, especially with weekend times.)

goatchild · « **Reply #529 on:** July 24, 2010, 12:45:23 am »

I think it might just be me, you Felix, and Hashi, cuz Valeria can't come after all. So... maybe 12 again? I'll prolly try to eat at Burgerville or something before we get there this time, so I'm not quite as loopy and full of fail. XD

goatchild · « **Reply #530 on:** July 24, 2010, 01:01:16 am »

Actually, let's meet at 12:30 or something, cuz it takes half an hour to get to 60th from PSU. >> And I think I'm gonna go to bed, but I'll check back here before we leave tomorrow. So whenever you wanna meet up I guess, Felix. XD

Felix · « **Reply #531 on:** July 24, 2010, 03:15:47 am »

I still can't figure out how long it'll take for me to get there, but we can try for 12.30. (I'll text you if I'm going to be late.)

goatchild · « **Reply #532 on:** July 24, 2010, 10:17:48 am »

Okeedokee. We'll meet you at 60th then! Don't forget to bring some of the fabric you bought yesterday to compare.

Hashi · « **Reply #533 on:** July 24, 2010, 07:27:44 pm »

I just made Sundried Tomato Farfalle with mushrooms AND homemade potato chips!

Progress? I think this counts.

goatchild · « **Reply #534 on:** July 24, 2010, 07:52:07 pm »

That totally counts as progress. And so does taking out the trash. Right? Right? 8D ~~so fail~~

Anyone wanna go to Hollywood Lights on Friday? They aren't open on weekends apparently, and I have class Monday through Thursday until 5pm. They're open until 6pm Monday-Friday.

Auricle · « **Reply #535 on:** July 24, 2010, 08:12:56 pm »

What's Hollywood Lights? ' w '

Malaria · « **Reply #536 on:** July 24, 2010, 08:17:23 pm »

They sell movie equipment like lights and (relevant to us) crazy makeup.

Auricle · « **Reply #537 on:** July 24, 2010, 08:23:19 pm »

That's cool! I want to go sometime, but I probably can't do anything anytime soon.

Felix · « **Reply #538 on:** July 25, 2010, 12:37:44 am »

Sure, I'll come. c: I doubt I'll have anything to do anyway.
~~I could work on costumes of course but this totally counts as progress right?~~

Malaria · « **Reply #539 on:** July 25, 2010, 11:39:16 am »

Posting in PoSms does not count as progress.

FELIX WE WILL RACE TO DO PATTERNS TODAY
Whoever finishes first gets... gloating rights? Nevermind that I'm ahead of you, you have some actual expertise.

jaqua · « **Reply #540 on:** July 25, 2010, 02:17:40 pm »

Yayyyy I'm back from camping and sunburned everywhere! But I don't have a tiny Hashi to help me so I just have store-bought aloe that isn't as awesome... But still kind of works I think. At least I bathe in it like three times a day so I hope it's working.

But anyway! How was shopping? What progress was made?

Felix · « **Reply #541 on:** July 26, 2010, 03:08:49 am »

I have all my fabric for Aang unless I'm forgetting something, as well as a pattern in need of heavy editing. (Malaria: I can try... It's kind of late now, but I'll start tomorrow I promise.)

BUY FABRIC JAQUA.
~~because if you don't finish on time you'll have to me swimming-hole katara~~

Malaria · « **Reply #542 on:** July 26, 2010, 10:48:10 am »

I'm almost done cutting fabric for the shirt and pants, and I've patterned the wrist and ankle thingies. Gonna leave the tabard and belt patterns till I see how they'll have to fit over the shirt and pants.

Felix · « **Reply #543 on:** July 26, 2010, 02:46:38 pm »

I've patterned the pants and shirt! but ~~now it's too hot and I don't feel like working anymore~~ I'm going to wait to do the rest because seeing how it fits first sounds like a good idea.
no I'm not making excuses at all.

Malaria · « **Reply #544 on:** July 26, 2010, 11:24:30 pm »

Pants are mostly done! I'll probably finish them at the grandparents' tomorrow. I should finish the details of the shirt tomorrow and get started sewing that. I am sure I will **** up abominably on the sleeves at least twice. Good thing I am a super speedy seam ripper.

edit: grumble grumble Kcon let me cuss!

goatchild · « **Reply #545 on:** July 26, 2010, 11:39:56 pm »

I'm halfway done patterning Sokka! Tunic, boot covers, and gloves are all patterned. I have some old patterns that will probably work for the undershirt and pants, and if so the I'm technically done patterning bwahaha. I love realizing that I'm closer to done than I thought I was. |D

I cut out the undershirt and pants. I must really love this series because I had to press the fabric first and it's way too hot for that. Sewing shouldn't take that long... and then I get to screw with the tunic thing, boot covers and gloves. whoo.

@Malaria: you can if you misspell it or do it in another language. BD

Auricle · « **Reply #549 on:** July 28, 2010, 06:29:15 am »

It's so progress-y in here. : D I need to clean my moms room out so I can move the sewing machine~

And I wish I could go back to bed right now, but I had a creepy nightmare. DX
