intro, as per requested..

so I was talking to this lovely chick who was telling me all about raleigh and clubs and such, and she told me to at least post an intro up here, so here I am.
I'm 22, pagan poly bi female, who is continually searching for her perfect female. (as my boy tells me, there are many men who would sympathize. :) ) I am attending grad school at UNC-CH, and am about to start my second semester of my first year (as my tablemate tells me, we're 1/6th of the way through it.. )
I started in on computers way back when, and even ran my own bbs for about 5 years. (My father thought it was cute) (and if you know what a bbs was/is, award yourself a kristy point)
back to grad school - i am going to grad school for costume technology, which is how to make cool stuff. and that's really what i would like to do. i am currently attempting to concentrate enough to learn, but it's somewhat difficult to do and still have fun. ohwell.
i have two cats, and my boy has my snake, since she's not technically allowed in my apartment.
I'm slightly overweight, but am losing weight for the first time in 4 years, so I am very happy about that. i recently bleached streaks (ahem, "lightened", excuse me. :) ) in the front of my hair, and very temporarily dyed them purple, although now they are back to blondish. it made me happy to finally do something that i had wanted to do for so long, and surprisingly, there haven't been any repercussions. What did i expect? i don't know, honestly. but something.
i have a tattoo and a piercing, and i would definately like to get more tattoos, and i would possibly like to get more piercings, although i don't have the money for either..
i think this is enough of an intro - i need to get up in the morning and drive back to chapel hill from athens, so i will go to sleep, i think.

home again home again

OKay, so i awoke this morning (after much discussion with both the alarm and the kitty - staying up until after 2 am and then trying to get up at 8, not such a great idea) to an internet connection that went out directly after i downloaded my email. At least it was incentive to come home! I eventually got out of there (after drugging the cats) and drove up here - the drive was uneventful for the most part, meeping kitties in the background, and a couple of phone calls (one to my music man for inquiries on types of punk music). Now I am home, and happy to be so, although i would be happier if I hadn't come hometo bills and if my josh were staying with me. But he has more school, so back down he will go.
he came in, a few hours after me, and we have eaten dinner (which i cooked - yay for me cooking) and set up my "craft" table - which is an 8 foot long banquet table, to be used for waxing and such. I am very very excited to have a new toy (especially since it was free). I am contemplating going out tonight, just for fun, but we're going out tomorrow night to explore gotham in chapel hill, to see what it really is..

COstume technology - a basic definition would be everything that happens once the design is handed off. So last semester i took - crafts:millinery, couture (sewing the judy way), costume design for the technician, and basic flat patterning. This semester I am finishing couture (it's a hard class, and i partied too much), taking tailoring (josh gets a suit. :) ), crafts:dyeing, costume history, and beginning draping. I am excited, yet wondering where this will really take me in life. at least i will know lots of cool stuff.
I am hoping that my digital camera/webcam is working again so that I can put a picture of me up, but we will see - the computer actually recognized it when we plugged it back in, so there is hope.
there is much to look forward to this weekend, and then next week work/school starts.
