IT WAS EIGHT DEGREES WTF WHO DOES THIS ...there’s a Pokémon go gym at the end of the block okay I’m even judging myself right now. New Year, new goals! Let’s do our best! My step one is kind of tragic- I’m currently sorting out my comic collection to sell. Album to come shortly, I’d appreciate a signal boost because moving + poverty = downsizing party.

There’s a certain satisfaction when you’re able to be thrifty. And... okay, hard to articulate this, it’s extra awesome when the repurposed thing is themed with its new life? Like this $2 robot dinosaur from goodwill. I’ll demolishing it and using it for Aloy’s armor parts from Horizon Zero Dawn. If that’s not appropriate I don’t know what is. Aloy is almost done by the way! Convincing Kexige Cosplay to shoot when I come home!

This was the best and most bizarre thing EVER!!! The SMALLEST world and I’m so so happy!! Had a coworker catching a ride with us, talked about commuting, found out we’re both local kids 🌺 Talked about our interests, find out we’re both nerds 🤖 Talk about Kawaii Kon and find out WE WERE IN A PHOTO TOGETHER LIKE 2 CONS AGO?!?! Glitch in the matrix, guys. I have chicken skin. (If you see this D hi love you see you soon we go the halau!!!)

Of course I’m off working, but I still want you to know that I’m so so happy to call all of you my friends and I love you dearly and I want you to have the best Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) ever. Let’s go into 2018 hopeful and full of love for ourselves and others like Space Mom Carrie would want. If you want to send an e-card (no physical P.O. box this year and I don’t wanna break the yearly card tradition!) please feel free, leahroseftw at gmail ❤️ I’ll reply to everyone with a special photo and note ❤️

It’s hard to show you how long this frickin wig is. Banana for scale didn’t cut it. But she’s the end result of my craft time yesterday! I also made a video. Peek the comments? Also, I don’t have a PO box for the yearly Christmas card exchange and I’m SO bummed. Any ideas? I got cards for you guys and then went... oh.

When you try to take a cute selfie to show off the amazing shirt your friend made but SOMEONE has no sense of personal space... Working on a desperate house clean frenzy tonight and if I finish in time, let’s play with a Rapunzel wig and some battery powered strings of lights *eyebrow waggle*

Sooooo you know it’s like 9 days until Christmas? Cause I didn’t 🙃 I would love to support all of the small businesses that I know you guys have or love yourselves, but there’s that whole problem of not winning the lottery. Please post links below to your own small business, Etsy page, your best friends, your sisters, whatever! And share so we can have a great comprehensive list of geeky and geek-adjacent small businesses! Get presents for people from somewhere cooler than Target! (No shade target I love you you’re the real MVP)

That AMAZING feeling when your favorite thing goes mainstream and you can buy nice things from it!!! I’m so glad that a lot of you have checked in about being safe. I’m still just in shock over the state of the world right now, and Vegas was just the icing on the shitty cake (Gross visual, sorry). Please remember what Mr Rogers said, and always look for the helpers to keep your faith in humanity.

My big little, my bean, my Sweet Pea, my sister. Five years, man. We took shots of Jameson at her memorial and one of the last things she did was try to sassy slap Juno Cosplay in the face (she deserved it ❤️ and it wasn’t hard). Tell me about someone you miss. I’d love to hear your stories.
