So when I was bored a couple weeks back I decided to make some steampunk goggles for myself, so I did and they are pretty awesome. (If I do say so myself.) I made 'em out of some jar lid rings, spare leather, glass, and some spare brass bolts. As well as a magnifying glass, which is mounted on a swivel in front of the right eye.

Well, it also so happens that the local Applebutter festival is coming up, in which everyone sells their crafts and such. During this time, my schools art club is raising money to go up to Chicago by selling handmade things at the Applebutter festival. Sooo...I decided it would be cool if I could make a couple pairs of goggles (minus the magnifying glass) to donate for art club to sell, since a lot of people have been wanting to buy them from me.

So nooow I have less than 24 hours to make 4 more pairs of goggles, since I made 2 yesterday. (Yay procrastination!) So I am forming an assembly-line of goggle-making-madness all today!

Many pictures shall ensue!

So, it's gotten colder lately. And it makes me sad.

But on another note:
It's been decided that I am going to sell my horse, try like a b%$ch to find a job, and start saving to by an athletic, much younger, SOUND horse.
I'm going to fix all of the mistakes I made last time, (i.e. buying at an auction, not buying privately, buying at NIGHT, etc.) and do it RIGHT this time.
So, in reality, I have 5 months (we want to get a horse by March) to come up with the 2,000 dollars needed to get a good horse. Along with some help from my dad.
But if I succeed, I get a healthy, young, trainable horse, that I can do events with. Which has been something I always wanted. (I would especially like to jump or pole bend.)
So wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

Maybe it's just the ridiculous amounts of caffeine that I have drank in the past 24 hours, or the lack of sleep, or the techno music playing everywhere I go, or maybe just the fact that it's been a couple of months since my last fix of rave-action. Even if they are just Anime Convention raves, they are still hella fun with friends. Even if they are small, that only means I can steal the show with some fancy poi spinning. (Yay, no competition to show me up!)

But I'm already itching for next years cons and raves, and it's only OKTOBER.

And I'm thinking that as long as I can find a job, I can plant some money into new rave gear (changing my colors from green and black, to orange and black) and I'm definitely going to grab some new poi while I'm at it. However, this also means that I need to make new hair falls, and I'm thinking they are going to be spiky and crazy...somehow. And new goggle lenses...

But anyway. I'm going to go for a total REVAMP.
And this time I'm takin' some pictures...

On a different note, I had a blast yesterday.
Playing tackle-stab-kill-slip-n-slide tag has never been funner.
And climbing trees in rave-shorts is fun. If not impossible. (I did it though!)
Also watching people molest each other on a trampoline. Very amusing.
And wandering around Wal-Mart at 2 am with crazy company.
And scaring children at TGI Fridays as well.
Stealing a marker and drawing kitty-faces on everything in sight can also be productive,
As is the boyfriend losing his chocolate bar out the sunroof window and us having to pull over to get it off the roof...
And of course, flying down the highway at 70mph with half your body out the passenger window
whilst wearing rave-goggles is the most favorite...



Mmmm,coffee...
