Life Update #12 (In Loving Memory) · 8:50am Jan 2nd, 2017
I wish to dedicate a little poem to the one who has passed on. May you rest in peace.
In Loving Memory
This is a song
About my hair.
It used to be long,
But now it’s not.
Lol, yes, my long hair is no longer long. My friend who is in beauty college cut it for me. And OMGoodness did she do a good job. I absolutely LOVE it! It’s not an accurate measurement, but I concluded that I used to have around 26-30” of hair. My bff cut off about 8-10”, so. . . It’s a layered face-framing cut 
. It looks so amazing when it’s curled!
Lol, I feel so bad for my bff. It took like two-three hours to do the whole thing. She had to rinse my hair three times after she washed it because of how much hair I have. And then, she would constantly have to keep spraying my hair with water because it would frizz up as she was cutting it. And then, she tried to blow dry my hair. Lol, never do that with heat. . . I seriously had like a lion mane (slight exaggeration, but a glorious mane regardless). Before she could curl my hair, she had to straighten it since it got thick and slightly frizzy from the blow-dryer.
Trotcon stuff
So, I guess the biggest thing is making money in order to go. Which, once I have PayPal, I'll be starting up commishes and adopts. But the other thing is that I heard from a little birdie about a cool way to make some mulah. Page found here. Pretty much, I'm supposed to write a Top 10 things article about something unusual, cool, or whatever. And if it gets accepted then I get $100. I'm thinking something along the lines of MLP or Star Trek: TNG or drawing/art, but inspiration is running a little low right now. Would you peeps be able to give me a few ideas to get the creative juices flowing? Gracias!
Hehe 
, I did the math and um, concluded that the cost would be roughly $1,000-1,100 (factoring sponsor badge, vendor table price, hotel, not including my mom and sister's badges, food, and gas.)
Also, I'm conflicted because I want to get a table in the Artist's Alley thing, but I don't know if that means you have to be at your table the whole time or not. I really want to go to panels and meet VIP guests and host my own panel, but I don't know whether getting a booth/table thingy means I can't do all that.
I'm sure little question marks popped up in some of ya'lls head because I mentioned hosting a panel. Even if not, I shall proceed to answer all those question mark thingies that may or may not exist. The idea for the panel is to advertise the pilot story, Sardonik: Revenge/Retribution, of my trilogy. I would give a dramatic reading of the prologue, talk a little bit about the inspiration behind the trilogy, and answer questions (as you would expect in a panel, lol). Of course, I have more ideas and things planned for it, but that's the predominant idea. I may even sing some of the songs I wrote for the series (Which I've dubbed K'eoPHa AKA Triune).
If any of you have been to a pony convention before, any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.
My New Story!
Yay, I'm finally published! And it's not even close to what I was expecting for a first story.
Please, read it and give it some love (lol, shameless self-promotion)
A Hairy Hearth's Warming.
Randomness
I feel kind of bad because I feel as if I'm ignoring everybody. I have PMs and comments that I haven't replied to for weeks. I know I've probably forgotten conversations entirely. If I've not replied to anything of yours, I'm sorry. I've been so busy with personal stuff lately, plus the holidays. I can't make any promises as to when I'll catch up since I'm starting school on Thursday.
And for fun, here's the script for the skit thing I wrote, directed, made props for, and acted in. It's called Why Time Machines Don't Exist. The part I played was Alya. I put my hair up in high pigtails, wore lenseless glasses, a donut shirt, a ton of bracelets, and donut socks. I'm so happy because I got a 100 for the skit itself and 100 for the directing. I was so scared because I didn't know if the skit was a success or not.
Now, I get to play a foreigner in my one friend's skit and the lead ventriloquist person in my other friend's skit. Any suggestions for which accent I should learn. I have no idea what accent I was even doing when we practiced. It was like a weird Spanish/Indian/Middle Eastern combination thing. Lol, for the ventriloquist thing, I'm going to have one of my other friends sit on my lap and play as the dummy 
.
Anyway, now that I've finished this monstrous tl;dr thing, I shall bid thee all a good night (or morning, I guess). I'm too lazy to proofread this thing, so all you grammar nazis out there have at it.

You must look cute with short hair.

. . . Lol, this new look will take a bit of getting used to.
I probably look cute with long and short hair
~Melly~
I'm sure your friend did a great job on your hair, but I was always curious to see just how long your hair was if you ever did a face reveal.
Anyway, those ideas might be interesting. I suppose if you could find supporting sources, you could do something about doughnuts. I don't know, it's your list that you'll be writing.
That bill to go to Trotcon isn't as bad as mine: I do have to include airfare, after all. It'd be cool if you got a panel, but I have no clue what preparations that would entail. Unfortunately, it would be my first brony convention as well, so I have no advice beyond some generic con advice: make sure you eat, and sleep. Possibly find ways to boost your immune system; you don't want to catch the dreaded post-con sickness.
I might be a small chunk of those PMs...
Anyway, good to hear that your skit did so well, I'm sure you're going to have fun with your friends' skits, too.

Lol, that's another thing to add to my art pile, thought I have been thinking about doing that.
For now, this is the best I have. Lol, it's an old self portrait I did (No one ever guessed it was a self portrait
