Personal Resistance

So in reading everyone's posts about people switching to Facebook it raises my hackles. I use facebook to keep up with people not on LJ but I've had this journal for almost 10 years and I check it daily. The thought of losing my connections to my costuming friends, and my online connections with them creates a deep deep saddness in my heart. I would hate to see everyone I follow move elsewhere. I have a blogger account, I never use it. I have google reader but it's nowhere as nice to read as a Friend's page. I cannot stand Twitter. I think twitter represents all that is wrong and insensitive with our country. One line entries do not give you depth, and I'm sorry I don't care thatyou're standing in line for a coffee. I know I know it's dumb but it reeeeeally gets under my skin!

SO I shall try to be much better about posting. The problem is I haven't done any costuming to post about, so you'll all just get stuck with my other life ramblings. Which mostly involve, work, wedding stuff and Victoria and I are preparing for a Craft show in October.

Wedding wise we've booked a veunue! and therefore a date! August 6, 2011 at the Joseph Ambler Inn  It's a lovely historic venue that will suit us just perfectly. The next big decision is can I make my Grandmother's not-super-attractive wedding dress work. It's VERY VERY shiney nylon satin. So Shiney it hurts. I know I could put an overlay on the skirt but the bodice would just have to stay super shiney. And it doesn't fit. So I'd have to put a piece in the sides. V thinks I should just make my own dress from scratch. That sounds like a whooole lotta stress. I'm never happy with my finished work, would I just look at it and see all the flaw?...

Congratulations on picking the venue, its lovely. I agree, I wouldn't want the stress of making my own wedding dress. I'm sure what every you decided, you will look lovely. BTW, are you going to Victorina days next weekend?

I could go on Saturday if everyone was going then. I haven't a new thing to wear. I suppose I could actually finish the dress I made last year but where's the fun in that?

I think we are planning on going Saturday. That dress was beautiful. And I'm planning on wearing the same dress I wore last year, so we can repeat together.
