Air Travel Woes

I guess the most humiliating experience I have had in an airport is arriving two days early for a flight.

And I learned this today as I checked in at the kiosk.


HELL!!!!!

Celebrity Sighting

So the first "celebrity sighting" I've had in San Francisco happened today in Chinatown.



It was Flava Flav.



I feel cheated.

Frustrated

I am sick of being disrespected by the people closest to me, especially as of late.

I am a person worthy of being treated with respect, as I treat all others with it. If what goes around comes around, why can't I receive it as well?

Why am I not worthy of being remembered? Why am I always being forgotten about?

First Corset

Ah well, I should at least be proud of my progress. Here's my first ever completed product that I started from scratch. Draping on a mannequin is actually rather fun, until the blisters appear. It's a corset I made from a super nice silk/rayon fabric (that I got on sale at Britex. SCORE!) Boy, there sure are so many things wrong with it.

I'm going to remake it with the leftover fabric I have when I come back from break. I didn't give enough bust curve because.. ah, apparently I underestimated my bust area. I'm a bit endowed for someone my size. I won't be doing another sweetheart neckline because it's just too tricky to sew. I'm going to add some black lace and more grommets. It's going to be HOT.

Orion Chillin'

I found my person that is there for me when I'm down. He's hanging up there, in the cosmos, chilling and watching the world go by. Whether I'm across the world suffering from loneliness or walking home after an exhausting day, he'll be up there. I just have to wait for the night to come to see him.

We start up this great inner dialogue, me and Orion, and I spill about how blue I feel because this person is a constant disappointment or that person wasn't there for me. He responds with something like "People will be people," or something else that's comforting. I feel better afterwards and I can go home and sleep for the night.

Our first encounter was when I was a child, and his tell-tale stars were the easiest constellation for me to pick out. He was there for me when I was in Thailand for the first time, missing home and feeling out of place. He's the man that will never disappoint, never fail me, as long as there are stars in the sky.
