Jem Costume was a Omen to great things, or 2012.

2009-11-06T11:17:38Z

Just read that Jem and the Holograms is getting a reboot thanks to the sucess of Transformers and GIJOE. Looks like the minds behind High School Musical will be producing. Not sure I'm interested but they plan to keep the 80's time frame. Sweet! No updates to the characters are planned so far. YES!

Halloween Costume Pics

So Tommy and I spent Halloween night with friends playing rock band and drinking. Tommy was a Ghost, yes its a fitted sheet. My bad. I was Jem. Yes I have the big pink hair, the pink dress, the belt, and well everything 80's. Earrings and all were a huge hit. Looks like I will reappearing at Dragon Con as Jem with my Holograms in 2010. Oh my makeup, BAD ASS! I know right. I love this costume, so comfortable and I represented my childhood with my skills and love for PINK!
It took a few friends some time to figure out who I was because you know its been some 20 years since the cartoon debuted. I can't wait to work on this costume a little more and having it picture perfect for Dragon COn, also didn't help I lost some weight while I was making this costume so I need to tailor it in some.

So yeah, JEM DONE RIGHT!

Today has been hell.

2009-10-31T01:23:46Z

So my work has events for their employees, like today was a Chilli Cookoff. My team (aka my coworkers) had to decorate a booth which ended up being last min and not very good. After coming up with a last min idea and then being chewed out by a coworker about how this was a "group effort", my day have been not so great. I was going to try and get out of work tonight but my boss was no where to be seen and not around, I feel kinda used and ignored right now with my coworkers and boss. Heck I don't even know if we won anything cause no one has told me anything. Most likely not. I don't care, they got one freebie of free work out of me and thats it.

So here's my pumpkin:

So I'm tired and cranky. I have to leave for work in a half hour with a headache and puffy eyes. Yeah, so far I'm just not interested in their crap.

I haven't posted in a while due to work and working on things. My halloween costume is bitch'n and there will probably be some haters. Which is fine with me cause real costumers can do and be anything. That is the one reason that makes us so much cooler than the fakers and the frauds out in internet land.

So anywyays, that's my bitch comment for the evening / morning.

I've been play'n some xbox and just chill'n some with my babe since the last week was hell. I'm currently arms deep in my project for work. My pumpkin for works Pumpkin Pooloza, we're make "swine flew". LOL. Goggles, scarf, and some wings to finish off the carved pig :) The pumpkin they got us was huge over 50 pounds and very very large. Wasabi fits in it too.

Christmas keeps getting mentioned almost every week, no i don't know what I want. Well I do, its dumb. I want a Jem doll from Jem and the Holograms, I had one a long time ago but my sister gave her a hair cut. So Jem went from cool to lesbian in a few cuts of child safe sissors. I also for some reason would love a old school Strawberry Shortcake doll, these are not for "play play" but for me to have and enjoy.

Other than that, nothing else. Dumb things here and there but I'm just not in love with anything this year.

Oh yeah. HALLOWEEN!

Sorry for not writing a con report anything. This year was something else, with having no sleep for 24 hours and other things, my current attitude and I'll manner is a biproduct of slot of things. I did win best Armor again and not sure if I shall try for a 4 th year.
Didn't go to any panels, still owe my bf some alone time. It wasn't much of an anniversary. I got to talk to amanda Conner and Joe more. Met a couple of amazing comic artist who were just down to earth people. Best person was Amanda Conner, she is such a geek and was impressed by costumes. Lol.
So got some costume plans for Halloween and the for dc next year. One of which has been 3 years in the making.
Not sure whatelse to say other than work sucks cause well some people are lazy as hell and I'm tired of carrying my work and theirs.

If you didn't know, we said good bye to Trouble today. She was the nicest as well as odd boxer I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Sadly this news was delivered to via AIM by Tommy. He's not doing to well and well we seem to being have our owN share of issues. I feel like no matter what I do I can't make him happy. It's either work or stuff for dragon con getting in the way. So as of this year I will be slacking off on costuming completely. It's hard enough with work but with the added stress of my night shift and sleeping the day way. When I finally productive shit happens. Damn it all. Right now I'm sad and lonely. To afraid to call him or anythig because i don't want to push him away. Why now?
Other than that, everything costume wise is going well and getting Done, I need to take a nap. But I want my babe to say something to me.

It currently waiting for the ac guys to come and replace our unit so I can go to bed. I'm seriously in need of some sleep. Right now I need to work on some costume stuff while I'm up and waiting. Think abou finishing this gun up before I work on anything else. Mom has my coat done but we need to tailor it since it is huge.
I wanted to work on my dawn some more but it looks like I'll have to work again the next day.
Later, kiddies.

Also I love my iPhone.

My Fav quote

2009-06-30T03:51:23Z

"One day, I will come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine." -Dr.Who

Mel and AOME,
Don't EMAIL Me anymore bullshit about signatures and post.

Like I told the MEL, DELETE THE ACCOUNT and MOVE THE F***** ON!

If you all stopped taking the whole mess personally, you would have realized that this was between me and MEL not the rest of you. Sadly you all got pulled in and for that, I APOLOGIZE. Probably something I should have done but never got the chance to say due to be banned and ALL THE DRAMA.

Sincerely, GAYLE KLAR

P.S> I made something awesome once and I'm proud of what I did and learned from the experience.

Remembering old times,

2009-06-11T00:59:11Z

Today I caught myself thinking about old times which are good and bad. About this time 4 years ago I would have been working on my balrog costume and preparing for the con. Everyday was filled with chats and Ims about small and big things. I was part of something that I felt so proud for starting. I introduced people and made new friends with fans and con goers. I excitedly made logos, pins, and banners for the parade. I spent so much time working on my project and making sure everyone was happy. I'll admit I had fun and there were times when I felt that I was someone among friends.
Sadly things change and people change. I know I was accused of changing but I believe I was maturing and out growing my favorite fandom. My sudden change in attitude made alot of people wonder and allowed others to move in to take my burden off my hands. They were so helpful that they removed me from everything and informed people who had no connection of the ordeal. It wasn't an ordeal for anyone, I simple tried to save a friendship by removing myself from the main reason for the conflict. I learned though that the idea wasn't shared and I was removed.

My withdrawl from my position as "Owner" was removed and I never got to say good bye. I never got the chance because the LJ post was already being passed around and there was no way to fix the chaos that was done.

The most tramadic dilemma was the fact that someone that I thought were my friends did not rush to my aid, hold my hand, talk with me and ask what the problem was, but instead leaped for the position. To have someone you thought was your friend for 2 years and with my history of trips to their house and trips with them, you would think that through the rough patch there was some sort of mediation, sadly a few tried but the pain was to great.

To have something you started to bring you together, pull you apart then act as if the whole friendship was nothing hurt.

That to this day is the reason for hurt I feel each time when I look through that scrapbook. No friend should ever treat another like that, and I know many that were betrayed by a friend. Which is more than any accusation of hacking a website.

I've tried to let it all go but its the betrayal that sticks with you and wavers your friendships with others.

This is not an apology, I have no plans to act as if it never happened. I simple expressing my emotions which unlike my nickname, I am able to convey.

I am not a monster, hateful, or demeaning person. I am and was a friend.

Now, I have an amazing boyfriend and a set of friends both in real life and internet who keep me strong and support me far past anything I ever had.

Thank you :) <3

What a Scam .

2009-05-21T21:27:31Z

Right now I do not understands my Aunt's need to argue about Universal Health care with me. I know that Canada and England's health care is completely broke. There is no timely way of doing anything within the systems and so the health of their citizens seek other means through health care organizations or the United States. So does that make our health care better? I think the answer is yes.
I understand that the companies here have crazy rates and so many other things to charge. Its not fair that I pay a 100 less than my car payment for insurance, but at the same time I don't have to go to fight the system for my birth control.

Also Germany, France, and Italy have amazing health, that might because they lack the indulgences that the United States have fatten themselves on. So spare me the crap about how I have been brainwashed about health care. I personally am not paying for someone else to have health care because I am able to afford health care. I bet she missed that part, the part that list the Universal health care coming out of taxation or possible social security ( the IOU bank).

Sorry my views aren't as liberal as the rest of you but I have a very conservative view on most things. I believe if you earn it, its yours not someone else cause we need to share. If I have to share, they better be doing something too. I'm tried of free rides for people who keep bring up shit about the past. I think the american people and government have made up and have payed enough for slavery and racism. Oh, btw, if you haven't noticed the world is a lot more racist than it ever was cause everyone keeps living in the past.

Sorry for the rant, I'm tired of listening to things and getting shit from people cause I chose the republican site of things most fo the time.

Can't Sleep cause all I do is Cry

2009-03-12T07:33:13Z

I'm totally not ok anymore. I'm having issues sleeping unless Tommy is around. Batik use to be my comfort now I'm cold and lonely. I keep crying which keeps me wide awake.
In my head I see her alive and running around. I keep trying figure out how I can get her back, I know I can't but for some reason my brain is processing like a 10 year old.

It sucks to that I found a bunch of pictures of Batik and Putter on my camera tonight. All from Halloween when we bought those cat hats. Then one from November with the elf hat on Batik. I cried. I'm still kinda crying. My stomach hurts, my eyes burn, and all I can do is be sad. No matter how productive I am during the day or before bed, in the end I'm like this.

I want someone to comfort me or give me back my cat. Why is it so hard for me to just get through this. Everyone else can, why not me?

I feel like i wasn't around enough always out or working, or at Tommy's. I regret the weeks I didn't go home to play with her. I noticed she was slowly being more independent. Cats are independent but never so loving as this one. I feel like a horrid person cause I wasn't here when I had planned to and mentioned to last week. Damn it. Maybe I should just stay home now on?

I got Batik because I was going through a tough time. I was lonely and depressed. I won't lie, I thought about just giving up because nothing seemed to go right or happen for me when I worked so hard. I had mentioned it to my mom and dad that I wanted someone. I want something to get my mind off of everything. Someone I could love with our hate mail, chats, websites, and random bullshit that comes when you deal with people. So I got Batik, I named her before I even picked her out. I love her from the moment we got home. I spent hours with her. She played on my desk and slept on my lap.
She saved me from myself, from turning in to what I assume people thought I was. I'm horrible when dealing with people. My confidence is always an obstacle to deal with but Batik didn't care. She was my baby. She loved me and listened to me when I cried when people abandant me or when love ended. All of which made her and I very close.

Sadly I feel horrible for not seeing her or being around as much as I was when I first got her. I blame myself and I can't do anything to make that feeling go away.

Why can't the one person I want to talk to be on.....or he is but not paying attention to AIM.

I'm a sad panda and no one can make it go away.

Rest In Peace

2009-03-06T23:03:52Z

Today a terrible accident resulted in the loss of my cat, Batik. She would have been 3 in April. The accident was the result of a collar and the front window blinds. My mom found her hanging this afternoon. We aren't sure when or how it all happened but we know there is a loss in our family.
She was my baby as many of you know when I got her in 2006 from the Vet. She was small and loving. She spent most of her time on my lap as I talked to you all via Skype and Ims. Her purring and meows were welcomed when she laid for a nap on the computer desk.

My spotted striped tiger will always be my baby with her pink kitty she would bring me. I'll fondly keep the memories of her greeting me when I would come home at the garage door and her sleeping in her window seat. All of which I'm keeping around and storing.

So sadly I say goodbye to her even if I'm angry she played in the blinds and got hurt. I don't know what really happen but I loved her so very much. She was my friend when all others had left me and companion when life started to get better. No she left me alone just as I did her so many times before, and I'm sorry! Oh how much I'm sorry for not being home every day to hug and pet you. No more will I get to pet your fluffy fur or wrestle in the living room. I'm so sorry! I love you!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
