I am! I have a Naboo design that I worked out last year but ran out of time to complete, but I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to do that one. I’m tossing around a lot of ideas. I’ve thought about doing RiD (either as themselves or as Anthrax and Ebola), but now that I’m getting into Steven Universe, I am also considering doing a design to honor that. I would do a Holtzmann/Ghostbusters pumpkin, but so far I am planning to actually BE Holtzmann for Halloween, so... that seems like overkill.

I have! I did! You can see my pumpkins* right here! :D

I got tagged by Bluey!  Name: Glitterboots Nickname: Glitter Birthday: June  Gender: Female Sexuality: I think other humans are sexy  Height: 5’9" Current Time Zone: Pacific!  Current Time & Date: 12:10AM, September 6, 2014 Last Thing I Googled: “black skinny jeans" (I lost mine! :( ) My Most Used Phrase(s): “Did you know...?" Last Thing I Said To A Family Member: "Mmmm yummy guacamole" Favorite Beverage: In terms of frequency, water. Taste... SCOTTISH BREAKFAST TEA aka THE BEST TEA EVER TO TEA.  First Word That Comes To Mind: bird! Place That Makes Me Happy & Why: Anywhere my friends are... also London. My kitchen.  Number of Blankets I Sleep Under: Like... four. Even in summer. I need the weight of them to sleep. Unless it's REALLY hot. Even then I don't like having just a sheet or something.  Last Movie I Saw In The Theater: Ummmm... I think it was Captain America The Winter Soldier.  3 Things I Can’t Live Without: Family, Birds, Vegetables Something I Plan On Learning: At work, how to get guests to request me. At my career, the rules of Russian diction, refining my German, working on the mix of my chest and head voice. The roles of Meg Page in Falstaff, Siebel in Faust, Rosina in Barber of Seville.  Advice For My Followers: Nobody has ever truly accomplished anything alone, so don't be afraid to ask for help, and don't compare yourself to others. Strive for progress, not perfection. 

I’ve done 2 sleep studies and they’re definitely not as scary as you think they’re going to be but I was anxious too. All the electrodes on your face look hilarious. It’s always good to get this stuff checked out!

You are right on all counts! It really is good to get this stuff checked out. My brother turned out to have severe sleep apnea, and it turned out that he was being deprived of oxygen a LOT during the night. His BiPAP machine has really made a huge difference in his life. He didn't realize how many of his problems stemmed from that, until it started to be treated!

It was also not as scary as I feared. I am very, VERY claustrophobic about things enclosing my face or interfering with my breathing (as in: instant panic attack, without fail), but even though there is a teeny little nasal monitor to measure how you're breathing and everything, it was totally light and not restrictive in any way, and that was easy for me to handle. (Figuring out how to go to the bathroom once I was full Electro Girl was much trickier!) But the electrodes do look really hilarious, and even going to bed early worked so much better than I'd feared. I was in this cozy private suite, and it's kind of like a soothing little cave away from the outside world (no cell service, no distractions), which makes it easier to relax and sleep. I even had my own television and recliner, to help me relax!

So: I am glad I did it, and for anybody who suspects they should do it or has been recommended to do it but is apprehensive, I recommend that you go ahead and DO IT! It's not as scary or uncomfortable as you might think it would be, and getting a real problem diagnosed, so that you can get the proper treatment, is totally worth it.

don’t go out, just kill them. KILL THEM ALL

people wanting to annoy you is a thing? Seriously? Why? I just don't get it. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T WANT THAT. NO ANNOYING CARLY. NONE OF THAT.
