Jessica’s Pre-Wedding Dinner

2000, Vacations, , , ,

We went to help Jessica decorate the place where she’d be having her reception, and a flower was broken. Here’s me holding the flower . . . and Fred holding the stem.

Flower and stem

I can make crowns out of napkins. Here is me wearing one I made out of my napkin, at a dinner party that took place the night before Jessica’s wedding.

Here’s Fred wearing the crown I made out of his napkin. This is my favorite picture of Fred from this vacation.

This is me and Jessica at this same party. It was very loud in the room and we were probably attempting to speak to each other.

Jessica and her mom at the party. Just an amusing moment.

Hijinks with Jessica

Fred liked the exercise bike in Jessica and Ron’s apartment. We had a joke that when he pedaled, it powered the computer.

Jessica and Fred engage in mortal combat. Fred is obviously the loser in this particular fight.

Jess runs Fred through

Jessica did my hair like Princess Leia, and I took her lightsaber and attacked Darth Maul, puppeted by the happy-go-lucky Fred.

Fred was unwise to fall asleep in the same room as four pranksters. We decorated him.

Imagine waking up to find you are covered with stuffed animals, a banana, and a paper umbrella with tape on your glasses? D’oh.

Squirt attack

2000, Vacations

On our way to Jessica’s house in Melbourne, we had to stop to get gas. While Fred filled it up, I looked around the gas station for something to prank him with. I found a squirt gun, bought it, filled it up in the bathroom, and when Fred came in to pay . . . ATTACK!

Got to visit San Francisco, the Golden Gate bridge, and the Pacific Ocean on the Winter Solstice, and then we did a Yuletide ritual together.

Wassail and winter fun with Fred

Visiting Fred in San Jose! We made wassail with cider, apples, and our own spices in a tea ball, and made crescent cakes for the full moon.

Anime Weekend Atlanta – Saturday

1999, Cosplay, Vacations,

My first anime cosplay! I’m Little Washu from Tenchi Muyo. I had a wig that I was trying to dye pink but I ruined it, so I just had to be a blond Washu.

Other cosplayers from my same anime were there! I didn’t know them but I got a picture.

Ayeka, Ryoko, Washu

(Yes I had the cute little Washu robots on my shoulders.)

My Washu Costume

Here was someone dressed as the main character of the anime I was from:

And here are a couple of cosplayers who were dressed as characters from animes I liked.
