Been a bit more going on lately then I think I like. Update on my mother's friend Barb: The tumor is more or less inoperable so they are testing to see if she can handle other options that may be available for treatment.

My Second Cousin Layla was also diagnosed with children's leukemia. Shes only 2 years old. It kills me to hear about this because Layla is part of my life I have yet to get to know. Her mother Sarah (my cousin) and me were very close when we were little until we were separated due to other family based issues. Only recently we have been able to re-connect. And now this....

IT JUST FUCKING SUCKS!!!

Things at home itself have been a bit stressful. Just everyone seems to be on edge about one thing or another... I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do about any of it. Guess we will just have to see what happens, huh?

..:: Work ::..

Work is good I guess. Nothing much to report on that front. Its work right? lol.

..:: Cosplay ::..

Nothing much new here either... been a bit to preoccupied with work and crap.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain
Why the early bird gets the worm
Life isn’t always fair,

and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home without the burglar suing you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers: I Know My Rights; I Want It Now; Someone Else Is To Blame; and I’m A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving guys. (for those of us in Canada)

Been a busy few weeks.
WHOOT FOR NEW CAMERA BATTERY!!! lol

..:: Personal ::..
So here are most of the highlights....

-My mom has a really nasty cold. SHes been off work for the past few days to try and recover a little and avoid the spread of it.

-My sis killed her back at work and was off work for a week. She went back tonight but is already having problems... **Sigh**

-My mom's best friend (our neighbor) was diagnosed with Cancer this Friday. Shes been sick for a while but refused to go in and see a doctor. Turns out there is a tumor about 3cm in diameter compressing one of her lungs. She was admitted to the hospital and is on oxygen. They are running more tests and talking about getting her ready for a surgery to remove the tumor to make breathing better.

..:: Work ::..

Work is going well... sort of. This week is going to be hell. We are re-launching the Copy Center and now ever full service order will have a $2.00 service fee. For people doing huge ass orders this is going to save then tones of money... for those doing small stuff... its going to suck and they are going to be bitchy. :S ((sigh))

..:: Cosplay ::..

PICTURES TO COME IN NEW FEW DAYS

Costume: Sephiroth [Final Fantasy]
Prop: Sword ([link] )

Also, another convention has been added to our list
(( *The-Wall-flower please give me a call about this xD Room for one more xD))
My sister in law and my brother just made hotel reservations for Hal-Con 2010 [link] and it sounds like a blast. xD $125 a night for the hotel rooms and $45 registration fee (online price) Its easy enough to add a room on to their block because they have 3 rooms booked already. We have a year to figure it all out. I think it would be fun
