Seven things, six of them random

First of all, I'll be at Unique Los Angeles next week. It is going to be awesome. I'm working on some brand new Chickenpants featuring Superbuzzy fabrics, and I hope to debut them there. Second of all, I have some extra tickets to give away! I've got six left over. If you're in/ or will be in the LA area and want to go, leave a comment below with your email and I'll mail the tickets to you.
Update 12/10/08 - All the tickets are on their way to Los Angeles now. Thanks! I'll see you there!
*************************************************************
And now, for the other six things.
I've been tagged by the adorable Frizzelstixs to list 6 random things about myself.
So, here goes.
1. I just learned that I will pretty much refuse to work with any other sewing machine than my ancient Singer 834. Learned painfully, whilst my dear old tank was in the shop for a very long time. Thanks June and Mom, but I just couldn't use your machines! This is apparently the only photo I have of it. But mostly, it's a photo of my foot. And a plush foot I was working on.

2. I used to be a major, major, major Star Wars fan. As in I co-wrote a trilogy and tried to grow my hair out for Princess Leia buns. And now, years after the fact, I'm friends with a Princess Leia impersonator. Fun!

3. I don't like winter. AT ALL. And I basically hibernate through it. (Sleep... a lot...like 10-14 hours a day. Depression, eating a lot, play too many video games, avoid working & other humans, yadda yadda.) Guess what? I'm in winter hibernation mode RIGHT NOW. That's right...I should be working. And walking the dog. And eating something other than candy cane Jojos.
4. I was recently bitten, very hard, by a finch.
5. I don't like talking on phones and will do pretty much anything to avoid them. Text messaging is ok, though.
6. I'm wearing pants that have bulldogs in little red baseball caps on them. They're from Target, and they're supposed to be worn by little boys. I like them a lot.

Enjoy this blurry photo of them!
