Maxwell in cone

Whenever he had the cone on he would go sulk somewhere.

In other news, I have to be at work at 5:45 AM this Friday. Oh I’m sorry: Black Friday. I live far enough away that it basically means I have to be awake at four, and ready by four thirty. Seriously not happy. At all. And I have to be there until three. Plus side I get Saturday and Sunday off. Feels like a very small plus right now, though.

And finally, Leekeworld order came in. Only the carrier the other day decided he didn’t want to come back so I would just have to go pick up the package. Never mind that EMS is suppose to be attempted three times before being left at the P.O. Then the redelivery page was giving me a stupid error. I wanted it redelivered today, but it kept saying that the earliest it could be redelivered was…today. If only I could hurt their server. If only that would do any good. Oh, and so I go down there and I have to show ID (fine) I have to sign and print my name on one of those electronic things (like when you shop with your credit card at a store) which was awkward, and then I had to use that same machine and write out my address. Seriously, enough of a pain in the ass to make redelivery seem like a godsend.

So anyway, Perseus’ wig is definitely not MSD size, so we’ll see if it is CH size. Whenever he shows up. Ayleena’s wig needs some wig spray, but will be easier to handle than her massive curls one. It is also really really long. Picture is blurry, but I am so not retaking it.

Long wig

I also had Caraline try Kate’s shoes to make sure they were indeed for SD size feet.

Kate's shoes

I did not need to unbuckle to get them on.

Also, Caraline wasn’t wearing any sort of bottoms, only a shirt. Just thought I’d add that in.

What is your full name and birthdate?
Sofie Remeil, 12/25/1982 (*makes note*)

Where were you born?
Midtown, Manhattan. Almost in the taxi! (*makes note to never ride in taxis*)

Do you have any family that would miss you?
Yes, both of my parents are still alive, and I have a much older brother who’s a dentist. Plus there are loads and loads of cousins. (Cousins never count! But the rest…the rest might prove difficult to ignore.)

What exactly is your relationship in regards to my mother?
We’re roommates. We don’t see each other very often, but sometimes I will make her a bowl of cereal and once in a while she’ll bring me something interesting she found to sketch. She’s nice. (She sketches?!)

What are these “powers” you claim to have?
I can sense ghosts and am connected to the other side. I have participated in studies in the past, including one that replicated the Ganzfeld Experiment and scored significantly. My other scores were high too, although I wish there were more scientific studies than what is out there. (I cannot use these “powers”.)

I’m currently writing a paper about the area we’re living in now. (I do not read essays.)

Do you vote and participate in the political process?
Yes, otherwise you have no say in what goes on. (meh.)

Do you participate in the mob process?
No, not in the reserves and I don’t even have a pitchfork. (I wonder if you lie to me? I thought everyone in that side of the country had pitchforks and hay.)

Are there any illegally born children we should know about?
Illegally? No, I don’t have any. (So then legally?)

Are there any bodies we should know about?
Yes, there was one I found buried in an old cemented over outhouse plot over in Yellow Springs. (By “found”you mean “left”.)

If someone wanted to blackmail you, how would they do it?
Well, there’s not really anything to be ashamed of… (Everyone is ashamed of something! Besides me.)

Why am I pretty?
You have a pretty face and long, dark hair. (Yes. That is true.)

Can you make pie?
Sure! You open up the package, stick the pie on a tray and heat the bastard up! (It’s not nice to call pies names.)

Here we are again with Moiraine Damodred.

What are your holiday plans?
I am spending Hanukkah with my sisters, Christmas Eve with the twins and eldest daughter, and then I will be out of the country until after the new year. Then there will just be enough time to gather the children afterwards for skiing in Switzerland for several weeks. It will be the usual. (Oh yes…the usual)

Will Katsuro be allowed to dress up as a pink elf?
He may. (That sounds like a ‘no’)

Why not?
Perhaps you misheard me. (No! You lie! Liar! >:( )

What is your second favorite color?
Indigo (I see, I see)

What is your favorite sandwich?
Turkey on rye, with something Sarane showed me. You put in a few chips (I like barbecue flavor) under the bread and then press down hard. It makes a satisfying crunch. I do not like pickles with my sandwich. (Eh…..ew. I don’t like BBQ chips. Or rye.)

Is it true Elaida is in love with you?
Elaida? Wherever did you get such information. Is this true? (Everyone knows this!)

What is your favorite television show?
I like comedy. Many of the shows on CNN. (CNN is awesome!)

How do you pronounce ‘tomato’?
toh MAH toh (How about potato?)

What is your opinion of the East Coast?
It is highly crowded, but there is much to do. Not many people watch where they are going. (hmmmm)

Why do you think it is less worthy than the West?
I am incapable of answering this question. (Liar)

Are redheads hot tempered?
The exceptions prove the rule, yes. (eheheheEHEHEHEHehehehe)

How come you never speak of your eldest child?
What a coincidence. I’m not often asked about her. (Because you don’t talk about her!)

You’re ashamed of her aren’t you?
I’m terribly, terribly proud of her. (If you say so!)

Didn’t you have her when you were like, twelve or something?
What a sweet thing to say, but you are wrong. (oh I get it, you think I’m calling you young!)

Was Thom a pervert?
Thom was a good man, and was born a year later than myself. Just what are you implying? (That he likes ‘em young.)

If Ayleena became this really powerful general and started attacking other countries, what would you do?
Ayleena would find out if it ever did occur. (ooooooooooooooo)

Here we go with Thommy Boy.

Are you really dead?
Ha! (…)

Do you like cats?
When they’re ticklish. (Hmmm)

Do you still hate Aes Sedai?
Well, hate’s a very strong word. You should be careful how you use it and who you say it about! No no, no. I never hated them. I fathered children with one! (You so did hate them at one point! Liar. >:( )

Who is your favorite child?
I bet Buddha, the fat one, was probably the best child. (….what?)

No, really, who is it!
I’m serious! Mine, when they were babies, always peed right on me! (You smell funky)

What’s your opinion on Sarah McLachlan?
That was a vicious lie. I don’t care what Moiraine ever claimed to know! (I don’t want to know)

What’s the square root of 1348?
36.7151195, and why don’t you ever ask her tough stuff! (For she is but a delicate flower balanced on the petal of sea of loneliness)

Did you ever finish school?
I did eventually. (This is good)

What are your hopes for your children?
Wanting children to just “be happy” is stupid and narrow, but everybody wants what’s best for their own. What I really want is for them to have something to come back to when they need it. (hmmm, ok)

Were you scared when Moiraine said “I’m pregnant”?
I don’t remember. I don’t remember anything after that for a few days. (you were drunk)

Hell, how can anyone not be scared? (I don’t know)

How about the third time she said it?
I was happy at the time, scared when I saw two heads later on. Luckily they weren’t attached to the same body. Imagine the fighting between those two if they were! (Disturbing)

What’s your favorite color on women?
Whatever colors they are. I like the natural world. (You like them naked)

What does happiness smell like?
Like a warm room in the middle of the day, after waking up from a nap… and a little like the juice the kids spilled on your sleeping
chair a few days before that. And rose soap. (Rose soap, eh?)

And last but not least, Daichi.

What was your favorite toy?
I can’t pick! I like my hedgehog best. He isn’t real. (That’s nice)

Did you like being a big brother to the twins?
Yes, it is ok I guess! (They pick their noses…)

How about being a little brother to Sarene? She is really bossy (She is female)

Was she mean to you? >:[
Yes! And she always wants to try on lipstick but never do anything fun. (She should know better)

Did you like to watch cartoons?
Yes, I like Asterisk and Obelisk the best but I like a lot of cartoons too. (No clue!)

How about getting dirty like your mom did when she was wee?
Mama got dirty?? She shouldn’t make me clean up so much! I want to tell her. (Yes. Blackmail her)

Do you wish you were undead?
What’s that mean? (Ummm)

Did Sarene ever dress you up in dresses?
>:( I had to wear a skirt when I got christened but everybody has to. (Poor baby.)

Were you a mama’s boy or daddy’s little man?
I wish Papa didn’t have to go away so much. (That so didn’t answer the question!)

What was your favorite snack?
Popsicles and pretzels (hope not together)

Do Popsicles taste good?
Yeah! Don’t you eat them? (Just because I do doesn’t mean you do)

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Spongebob Squarepants! Spongbob Squarepants! Spongebob….. SQUARE PAAAAAAANTS! D

Katsuro, Aunt Lin and Ayleena watch that show! (Time to cut back on sugar!)

Was Thom love at first sight?
Interest at first sight was more like it. If a man can continue to arouse a mate’s curiosity after many years that’s often better than any initial rush of love, don’t you agree? (No. I like them pretty and young, or rich and old, bb!)

How about Nynaeve?
I thought she was a pretty child, before I knew of her station. (So they did get it on)

Which child is your favorite?
The inner child in each of my children, no matter how old they have gotten. (That is not an answer!)

No, really?
That’s as plain as can be. (THAT IS NOT PLAIN AS CAN BE!)

Is it true you get half nude at the Feast of Lights?
I do not, nor is that a subject that is polite to discuss. (I’ll take that as a yes.)

Do you like candy?
Yes, I like sweets sometimes. Blackberry pastilles are my favorite, but they are a little too sweet for most people. I like chocolate with orange flavor also, and black jelly beans. (D:)

Do you like Elayne?
Yes, but I wouldn’t have envied her childhood nurses. (I didn’t know Aes Sedai could lie)

Do you ever give Elayne candy?
They did all have gifts from me at times. Elayne preferred the trinkets from different parts of the continent to candies. (Maybe she just didn’t like your candy?)

When was the last time you visited Tar Valon?
I have recently visited in the past months, but could not stay. (You are running away, bb)

Why don’t you ever live in one place for long periods of time?
It is important to stay flexible and mobile. (It’s hard not to read that wrong)

Do you think your parents are proud of you?
I’m not done yet. (I think they would have liked you to join the Brown Ajah)

What of your sisters?
My sisters are too reasonable to go around spreading their pride here and there. (Is that a no?)

What of Cormanes?
I’m sure he is proud of me. (EGO! EGO! Corey is hot, though. Should hook up with Thom deaded and all)
