I am so sorry everyone! My computer is a very old Mac - and it's decided that it hates DA! Everytime that I try to get on here, depending on which browser I'm using, I either get booted off, can't log on, or can't read my messages. So, yes, that's why I haven't been on in a while.

In other news, my mom and brother are traveling in three days (count 'em, three!) to China to get my new little sister. They will actually meet her and get to hold her for the first time in one week. And then they're coming home on Christmas Day! I can't even THINK of a better gift!

Also, finals are coming up - Chemistry here I come.... So, now that I've found how to get back on here, I won't be on for another couple of days. I do, however, plan on actually submitting something as soon as I do - yay! Does anyone know of some good relativley inexpensive image editing applications for Apple? As well as that, I've signed up for five classes this coming winter - so don't expect to see much of me then! For those of you who don't know, in college, three classes in a full load, four is...stretching it, but five is ridiculous. Stupid, even.

Aaaaaanyways - on to pleasenter subjects!

Like - my new idea for a business venture! Okay, question that I want anybody who happens to see this to answer - it doesn't matter if you know me or not. The question issss....: Would you ever buy a custom made kimono, and if you did, what price (highest, most tiptop price, as well as the preffered price) would you pay for it?
I made myself a kimono - complete with under kimono (nagajuban, which I ended up not wearing - too hot), special kimono underclothes (hadajuban - v. nice to wear underneath, all light and preventing a lot of uncomfortable kimono shifting), obi ( as well as the obiage, which is a sash added pretty much for color, and the obijime, which is the cord that goes on the outside of the obi), and also the tabi socks.

So, I know I can make all that - but the material is usually kind of expensive (You need at least about five yards for the kimono itself, and lemme tell ya - five yards of any fabric worth buying is NOT cheap. Granted, if I had had more time to look for it I could have probably found something for a lot cheaper.) And I was wondering if I got a commision from somewhere, I might make a bit of money. Plus, I kind of really like sewing. I get frustrated with it sometimes, but it's a lot of fun. Anyhow, let me know, so I can decide if it's a worthwhile venture! And, y'know, if you REALLY want a kimono RIGHT NOW, then I'd love to take a commision!
