I added a bit to my costume before Halloween proper. I didn't get a pic of it all together, but it is as above, plus these leggings:

I love them enough that I sort of want to just wear them when I am not dressed as Ursula.

I would be disappointed if you only wore those once.

I did sugar skull makeup for a Halloween party tonight. I'm pretty happy with it!

You should be! It looks great!

Dia de los Muertes, right?

Carl- Thanks! I've spent way too much time on Pinterest, so some of my examples are just stunning.
JW- Yes! I stopped by my parents' house after the party and my dad said, "Is this some character I don't know about?"

I've ended up going through a bunch of my old pictures. So, huge post incoming.

at ten:

at eleven:

I was wearing fezzes before fezzes were cool.

At twelve I got glasses and a cat which I named Awwdabooboo:

the next few years resulted in me wearing a lot of black and being awkward and tall:

I wore flip flops a lot. More than anyone ever should:

I found a car at some point:

Just a few days after I turned 16. My mother threw me out of the house; this is me in a greyhound station.

I ended up moving back to Tennessee after that.

I lost weight after moving back to New York around seventeen. I tried to spend time with family:

I was in a band at some point.

At some point, I just ended up looking sad in every picture. I was still living with my father.

I cut my hair off, and started living as a girl just after my 20th birthday.

I lost about 80 pounds all in all.

I moved to Washington, where I grew my hair out again.

I got stabbed in the face not too long ago, and then in a fit of drunken pique, I cut my hair off. Results!

I'm turning 22 in two weeks. The idea terrifies me.

It's really lovely to see the progression through your life; thanks for sharing it with us.

Don't worry about 22 - it's not that different from 21 or even 23.

Welu · « **Reply #861 on:** 09 Nov 2012, 13:25 »

That was neat to look through. I also want to thank you for sharing those photos.

If you don't mind my asking, why did your mother kick you out? If you do mind me asking, then feel free to tell me where to get off.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #863 on:** 09 Nov 2012, 13:48 »

because she's a crazy bitch

she hears voices she attributes to god (which apparently told her I was going to kill her in her sleep), and looking back at how all of my interactions with her have gone I have zero doubt in my mind that she's borderline. she's done the same thing to my brother and also to my step-father.

I don't talk to her anymore.

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #864 on:** 09 Nov 2012, 14:00 »

Hm. Sounds like a nice person.

Mr. Doctor · « **Reply #865 on:** 09 Nov 2012, 15:54 »

Huh. I'm turning 20 in 2 weeks as well.... It feels crazy and wrong. I'm still a friggin brat.

Cute pics!

I'm a few months off from 30. Not particularly bothered by that.

I am a few months past 72. It happens if you wait around long enough.

nekowafer · « **Reply #868 on:** 09 Nov 2012, 17:42 »

I'm 27 but still feel/act pretty much exactly as I did when I was 21. Though I now have a better job.

ETA: I meant to caption this but posted and ran off and forgot. I've started wearing makeup again for the first time in a long time; I got tired of people asking me why my face was red. It's rosacea or something, I dunno. I do feel better about myself when I wear makeup though. The shirt is one I designed for our poker company, pretty pleased with it. Also, this is one of the first pics of me in a long time that I've felt okay with posting as-is. I used to Photoshop myself down a size or two. Losing thirty pounds has made a world of difference.

celticgeek · « **Reply #871 on:** 09 Nov 2012, 19:10 »

Looking good, Elysiana!

dr. nervioso · « **Reply #872 on:** 09 Nov 2012, 21:10 »

The make up looks very good on you Elysiana

And seeing how you have progressed in life so far was very cool Zing. Thanks for sharing

I'm 22 in a few months. For one day only, I will be numerically 4 years older than my boyfriend. Then he will turn 19 so that I can feel a bit less old.

Welu · « **Reply #874 on:** 10 Nov 2012, 03:49 »

My boyfriend and I have a week where we're only five years apart instead of six, which makes him more comfortable. Not an issue with us any more but he appreciated it when I turned twenty.

Carl-E · « **Reply #875 on:** 10 Nov 2012, 07:38 »

Halfway between fifty and fifty one.

...and still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up... $:-\$

Sometimes I drive that fast.
I am not yet an old, old man.
Why are we doing this?

Carl-E · « **Reply #877 on:** 10 Nov 2012, 07:56 »

'cause some kid complained about "feeling old".

Carl, remember this:

Growing older is compulsory. Growing up is not.

Wait. I'm turning 22 in four weeks. And I was absolutely sure that you've lived a much longer life than I have.

Although in some way, that's probably true regardless of time elapsed.

I didn't say I feel old, I said that the idea of getting older terrifies me. I'm young. I recognise this fact as true. But that doesn't stop the years from having passed by so goddamn fast that I feel like I'm hurtling towards death, that I could die at any moment, and I still haven't done a single thing I'm really proud of. I feel like I've barely survived, that I've somehow managed to half-crawl, half-drag myself to where I am today, and it can all be taken away in a single moment.

...wait, am I having a midlife crisis? I'm too young for this shit!

Holy crap!

I'd ask how it's going, but the cast already says quite a bit... but still playing gigs is good!

Compared to this: ( Maria -right hand, that's pinned thru the flesh holding the bone together)

...I'm pop-punk. She's more hardcore than we'll ever be, guys. But you were probably being sarcastic, Pat. So I dunno. It hurts to play a whole band practice. Sets in nyc are short. 30-40 minutes. But hanging in here.

valley_parade · « **Reply #886 on:** 13 Nov 2012, 08:04 »

a) pop-punk is awesome, why you heff to be mad?

b) I totally have a girlfriend now! We went to a hockey game for her birthday yesterday:

Our seats were kinda pretty good, but that's because there were maybe 300 people there. Albany, I am disappoint.

valley_parade · « **Reply #887 on:** 13 Nov 2012, 08:07 »

The league website tells me there were 2,600 people at the game, but that seems way, way too high.

Nikolai · « **Reply #888 on:** 13 Nov 2012, 10:06 »

That arena looks sadly deserted. I dearly hope my next duty station is close to a city that has a team, professional or otherwise. I miss hockey so much...

Photo dump time! Various snapshots of my life the past couple years, in no particular order:

This may be my favouritest photo of my wife and me ever.

valley_parade · « **Reply #889 on:** 13 Nov 2012, 10:41 »

Albany is usually desolate for AHL games (it's a HUGE arena for a minor league team), and a Monday afternoon game didn't help facts at all.

btw, nice R2D2 mickey hat!

Thanks for posting! What's attached to a strap around your neck? It looks like an enamel-on-brass insignia, reminds me of an 50-year-old artillery battalion insignia I still have around here.

Nikolai · « **Reply #891 on:** 13 Nov 2012, 11:53 »

In the Disney photos? It's a pin lanyard. One of the 'must-do's' of Disney parks is collecting pins. Buy a starter set, and then trade the stock pins for all the cool unique ones that the staff have. I collect mostly Stitch pins. The three most visible ones on the R2-D2 hat photo are: a Stitch head, a maple leaf Mickey, and a 2010 year pin. I also try to snag a year pin for every year I visit, which is '10 and '12 so far. Never thought I'd be one to enjoy Disneyworld (largely because of the crowds, and not a big Disney fan), but it's actually pretty awesome.

Bonus points!
Shot this video last year during a training exercise. I love my job.

Well, see, that's your problem. It's an ALBANY AHL game. Now, if you were in MILWAUKEE....

...there'd be about 2,000 more people in the stands. $:-\$

This is my other favourite wedding photo. Not nearly as hardcore, but still pretty cute.

No way, why would I? Dude, between being hurt and having to deal with a hurricane, you've got your work cut out for you, but y'all apparently don't give no shits. Respect, man. <3
