I cannot express how comfortable I am in my new jeans. This is kind of a stupid thing to blog about, but I don't care. I haven't had a comfortable pair of jeans since I was.......well......I never have. I have gotten hand-me-downs and friend cast-offs (not saying I'm not thankful of course) as my only source of pants for my entire life. I didn't even know what my size was! But I finally have two fucking great pairs of jeans that fit me like a glove and won't drive me crazy. I wont miss pulling my pants up every five seconds, or having my hips hurt worse because of ill-fitting pants, or having to wear longer shirts because the pants look funny or show crack when I bend over. NO MORE OF THAT! And I'm happy. (And I look great )
ALSO, I've been playing Skyrim like any good nerdette and was inspired to sketch a drawing of some leather and fur armor I could see on my character in the game. Heres the picture:
Well, since my fiance thought it was a good idea, I posted the picture in a forum on Skyrim Nexus, and explained that if anyone wanted to make a mod out of my idea, I would be....well....tickled. I never thought I would get so excited, but it became a big deal for me, and I was jumping for joy when I got a bite. Someone is actually MAKING MY ARMOR! He's releasing a beta tonight, and we're calling it "Leatherbound Huntress Armour" and I hope thats not lame but I like it. Here is what he's done so far:
He's still working on it. I wish I could use the Creation Kit and make it myself, or at least take this model and tweak it to my vision, but I'm not very program-savvy. I might figure it out someday....and then I'll make a ton more armors...... hehe.
Oh, and if anyone reads this and wants to try and make this armor too, pleaaaaaase do! I want to see what people can do with my idea!!!! Its just such an exciting prospect, being able to see my creation inside the game! I've been drawing fantasy type characters and armor and weapons and such since I was a little kid, and I always thought I'd illustrate books or something, then I just started doing other art and painting and kinda forgot about it......but playing these visually stunning games with the genre I've loved all my life.....its brought it all back. Sigh. I love it.
Oh, and did you know that if you fry up some onions and toss em in with some buttered green beans, it tastes JUST LIKE green bean casserole. Not even adding breading to the onions or any cream of mushroom soup. Just onions, butter, fry pan, and a can of green beans. I made that today. It was delicious. And cheap.
AND THOSE ARE THE REASONS WHY TODAY WAS AWESOME!
