Those look good! My favorite is the last one. They look like they take a long time to sew. Would the EGL crowd be receptive to bolder color? I like the idea of a dark burnt orange monochromatic number (in a shiny fabric), if that sounds like a good idea to you. They're technically a breed of goths, so even though they want to look heirloom-ey, you might start a movement with something more eye-catching. Do they like shiny things? Like rhinestone trim? How about feathers? It might be cool if you found some vintage-looking brooches or jewelry to sew on. I actually saw one of these kids in Kirkland last week. I was sort of proud that I knew why she was dressed like a fairy princess french maid |]But despite wearing about 17,000 yards of lace and shoes that were 3 feet tall, she looked boring. I'm certain feathers or brooches would have helped her.

Anyway, so... um, here I am, back in communication again. It's been so long. I had my second chem lab today, and it was relatively painless. I got a new lab partner named Heather who's nice, quiet, and does everything I say. Perfect. Oh, um.. Her name might be Hannah. Actually, I think that was it. The only slightly annoying thing was that she had problems lighting the bunson burner, because she didn't turn the gas on. The only other bad part is that we finished the lab really fast, so we had about half an hour for me to try to make conversation with my new ultra-fast, ultra-silent lab mate. [That sounds like good advertising... I should start an agency of non-idiot lackeys for scientists and visionaries. It might do well.] I found out that she likes classical music and was home schooled. [So this is the profile I have to keep in mind for new employess, I guess. OMPEUDG-NW is getting a lackey division. You can check them out like library books.]

I took my mom to Sushiland yesterday, and got her to try azuki (or is it koshian? I know that azuki is red beans, but the paste might be called something different. Hmm.) dango :] I'm not sure she liked anything too much, but she did offer to pay. So it was a good trip, either way ^^ I wish they had better tea there, though. They serve genmaicha, which I think is green tea with toasted brown rice added as a filler.

Your Ginko cosplay must have been affected by whatever mushi Ginko has (and I'm certain he has at least one. How else do you explain GinkoLogic®?). Perhaps this mushi is drawn to Gap clothing, and its thoughts influence its host :0 ! ...This is coming from caffeine deprivation, probably. Anyway, I talked to the manager at Gap, and she said she was interested & would call me to set up an interview.

I'll try to get more Circus Adventures in this weekend ^^ And hopefully I'll get to talk to you again before then.

YES! Start a 20's movement with the EGLers! Flappers & their clothes got popular almost directly following the Victorian era, so it's logical that EGL would follow a similar progression. Also: 'clean and professional' are two statements EGL clearly does not try to make. Tell that chick to shop at Ann Taylor, if that's what she wants. I think she was just trying to sound impressive. I'm glad you liked my ideas :] Take over the world, D-sama! OMPEUDG-SW Fashion Division GO!!

I had a good day yesterday. Mum and I went to Bellevue to find her some interview clothes [She's getting way better at picking out clothes. I'm so proud. There was a slightly horrific moment in conversation where she argued that blazers hadn't changed much at all since she was a teenager, though. Honestly - think of politics in the 80's. Feminism was a popular hobby. Women were invading the workplace, and trying to do it while looking like men. The result was that loose, un-fitted blazers that looked like they were draped over football pads got popular. And now, silhouettes are all about clean lines. ..ahaha, look at all that ranting ;;; sorry], and after we did we went to Hear Music and she bought me a CD I'd been wanting for.. like.. maybe 6 months. It was expensive, so I didn't want to pay for it myself ^^; And I got to see an old friend that works there.

I must be a slightly terrible person, because I think the phrase 'tiny, pissed-off person with no arms' is hilarious. Kata liked CA! Hurrah! Hmm.. Maybe that's what I should call it - Fred and Uchisute: CA. It would be like Law&Order (which, oddly, I find myself watching while drinking milk alot lately. But chocolate milk, so I wonder if that counts). I love the idea of Uchisute doing stuff just to annoy Fred X] as far as I've written right now, he's so reserved that he's boring. He needs to get more comfortable, fast. ...How can I write this? *thinks*

Interviews are okay for me, usually. I'm always a little nervous, but only if I think the interviewer thinks I'm nervous. This must be some disorder..? Hah. I'm also going to apply at Whole Foods because they pay hella and need baristas. $$$+=:D!!!

I'm hungry too. It's not even close to lunch time yet. Well... I did eat breakfast at 4:30, which was almost 5 hours ago, so I guess I should eat something. Metabolism kind of sucks. I think food should be optional. Maybe I should have gone to history this morning... But I had Spanish hw to finish. So I guess I just should have done my Spanish hw last night ^^; But sleeping instead was really nice. I do, however, think I'm going to fall asleep anyway if I don't have some coffee soon. Tully's coffee has gotten better. It used to not taste like coffee at all. Now they're almost as good as Victor's on a bad day, which is good. I have no train of thought at all. The person sitting next to me smells bad :/

I started reading a manga called 'Switch.' I don't know if you've read DOLLS, but it's by the same people. The art is okay. The dialogue is a little confusing. It's about 2 detectives trying to break up a drug ring which sells designer drugs to rich folks. It's a nice change from samurai and giant monsters ^^

Anyway, I'm supposed to be in Redmond right now, so I'd better get going. Bye!
