Yeahh

I've been told that I need to update my blog, so I am now updating it.  So much has happened since the last time I updated my blog.  I got an iPod video; I'm a week away from finishing my job; I'm making a hardcore Hellboy mask in one of the classes I help out with; I've watched an insane number of chick flicks with guy friends (Legally Blonde, Legally Blonde II, Last Holiday); I've gone to PortCon with two friends; I've gotten addicted to various podcasts; I'm planning for my trip to NYC and DC; I've made new friends at my camp (even though I don't really like the camp at all); I've organized a picnic that was a huge success (14 people and an insane amount of food); I've gotten my belated birthday present from a friend whose original present was stolen by a music and money loving seagull; I've decided that I'm getting my hair cut short-enough-to-spike in the back (and regular bang-length in the front); I've accepted a challenge that involves making a list of 100 recommended books and then reading them; I'm teaching myself Japanese; I'm planning on going to a concert with Staind, Three Doors Down, and Hinder with a good guy friend and maybe one of my girl friends; I've cried at the ending of one book and one movie (I blame it on camp making me emotionally unstable), and so many other things....

Well Then.

So, I'm still sick.  I actually had to stay home from work, because I was coughing rather nastily this morning and was having trouble breathing.  So I spent the lovely day drained of energy, coughing and resting on the couch, while watching whatever good was on TV (mostly just Queer Eye for the Straight Guy re-runs on Bravo).  And this evening I bothered to turn on my computer to talk to people on AIM for a few minutes and check my mail.  Of course, like always, there's the latest drama and such that would usually demand me spending a good deal of time over-analyzing something.  Only, cold meds make my brain foggy, so I as a general rule of thumb avoid saying or doing anything that I might possibly regret while under the influence of the aforementioned meds.  So, the usually swearing and such is out of the question.  I think I will just sit here and decide whether or not I want to go to PortCon all four days, and whether I should humiliate myself by going with three or so equally geeky friends.  One of the new events this year is dance lessons and then a ballroom dance.  It sounds like so much fun, but I'm debating if it's worth the humiliation.  It would be lovely though-- like a masked ball, since most everyone will be in cosplay.  Speaking of which, I don't know who I want to dress up as.  Last year I did the Nana/Misa thing, but I don't know...Call me foolish, but I almost want to choose a scantily clad character (like Misa), as opposed to Haruhi, or one of the cool female characters.  Because, Haruhi and all characters like her wear suits.  And it's summer.  So I'm leaning towards the skanky mini-skirt-wearing Misa, just for the sake of comfort.  I'll ask my friends....
