get on the move [03 Sep 2009|09:55pm]
It's late but, I wanted to thank everyone who made me a Valentine in the epic post :) Because I'm sure it couldn't be anyone else than people on here XD I'd never gotten one before so it was really yay. ♥

Umm, didn't find out who made this one though. Neither Abbie or Yvette or I made it so I'm guessing it's a general chilolilove? Fess up, you! ;) Otherwise, it seems kinda creeper.

In other news, I really wanted this Juliette et Justine dress. ;___; Too bad it was around $500 and I'd never fit in the 33 inch bust ...

Wahh.

I was pretty productive today, lots of cleaning and laundry got done. Picked tomatoes. Returns, paying bills, calling bank, shipping stuff tomorrow. Tomorrow or Saturday I'll be making raw blueberry cheezecake for the BBQ .. I hope it comes out okay X___X I decided to make it to provide more vegan choices at the party, but it seems kind useless since [info]mewwji can't eat nuts! XD;;

I want to do artsy things and sew and play with my dolls and change up my hair and get new makeup and go shopping and move out and have a bath.

I need to post more.

TALK TO ME BABY [17 Aug 2009|07:47pm]
I could use your help, you guys! :)

[info]chantwins is visiting me from Korea! She'll be arriving here tomorrow and is staying for the next 3 days.

I'll be taking her to the usual tourist traps here, but do any of you guys have a suggestion to where to take her, and also some restaurants you might recommend? I may want to try to experience something different as well ;)

I'd very much appreciate any suggestions! They also wanted to go to a jazz bar and I don't frequent any X_X Oh, and if anyone's free this week and wants to hang out of boredom you're welcome for some hilarious adventures ♥

Thanks guys ;___;

Running around a bit today. Raced to be on time to the doctor's, arriving JUST at the time, and then having to wait half an hour to be admitted :P I texted and read Vanity Fair, and M amused me by playing a cell phone sort of eye spy. I told him to find a ventilation grate and he sent me one, and my task was Dixie cups. There were some in the office, so then I told him paper punch, in where he admitted defeat :P By this time I went to see the doctor for a prescription. (Omg she cracked me up during examination when she asked if I heard voices XD)

Went to Target to get my prescription, wandered around and somehow didn't find anything worth buying (?!) I cracked up again when filling out the prescription, as right after name the first question is "IS THIS MEDICATION FOR A PET?" I asked the guy at the counter how many people have tried to get meds for their pet so far and he gave me a sort of amused but embarrassed look as if he were shamed for the world, "About ten."

I had to go to the post office so finished packing up then went out the door again. On the way I saw the UrbanBelly place and wondered what the hell it was as I always did. I guessed it was either a bellydance place or a pregger-lady yoga joint. Finally I took some action and texted several people to google it for me. M was the fastest and told me it was a restaurant ... =o= Sorry Eliza, if you checked. There's yummy delicious food all over it!

Got home and found a fat kitty who snuck in my bed!

then I realized I'd been having dreams about fried dumplings, so I made gyoza ~

Photobucket

Normally I can't eat that many, but I wanted to make a gyoza flower :P So as I eat them I can play "he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he -- aww damn it."

going to go clean and work out -o- I'm getting a new darling in the mail! :X

wtfuu meta. You finally come out with a GOOD chandelier print (That ribbon chandelier print didn't count!) and all the dresses and colors are oogly. Also, this blouse is like the ugliest thing I have ever seen. The print is cute, and the swan chandelier is an ingenious design, but you screw it up with your ugly photos and you made the print too small on the dresses imo. I'll only wear those if I get one in an LP :P

Speaking of LPs, this person got the best LPs ever ;_________; [info]luckee_cookie was such a lucky cookie and got a good IW LP too! Did anyone try for a Final LP? I tried, lets see if I get one of those velvet jumpers or the rose dress *______*

Oh, and I posted some lovely lolita fotos of Yvette, check them out here and give her some love! ♥ Yeah Yvette, if you won't post them, I will! :P


Erek ~ As Tokyo Boys we are required to have gay poses and retardedly suggestive storylines!
Eden ~ ..... And why is it I do not have the optional fist hands yet?


Super crappy picture (wow, am really out of it for taking dolly photos, er, not that they were ever amazing in the first place :P) but I wanted to show off the arms! ♥ Love those arms. I'm slowly getting used to the skinny-slouchy-ness and now I wonder if I won't miss if it I don't keep the body. It's not floppy like the SD17 but very solid, so I think this is why I'm giving it a chance.

I swear to god Eden is such bad luck. While I was taking photos my camera screen went black .... It was bizarre as the start up and menu screens would come up, but the LCD display wouldn't. I was about to cry as I had JUST gotten this camera replaced and it had been such a hassle... I googled why this could have happened while pressing every possible button and menu option. And .. when I popped the battery in again for another go, it was suddenly working .. X___X I have no idea if I maybe turned off the display on accident or what. God!

Got Ryoya! Pros and cons on the SDGr Body --

Pros
- The arms are so much better! Slender and yet muscular!
- Poses well! Much better than SD17
- slouchy!
- nicely sculpted, not all vein-y overdone like SD16/17
- can do side crunches :P
- love the double jointed elbows
- skinny waist! ♥

Cons
- Can't really swaricco, wtf XD
- ugly hips :(
- unable to lock the back to keep it straight, so normally always slouchy
- knees sometimes pop out of place and it's hard to snap them in in pants
- neck seems to be thicker and longer than norm SD13 bod
- sometimes the belly pops out like Dollshe boys -o-
- WAIST DOES NOT SWIVEL LEFT OR RIGHT...

ATM, the cons outweigh the pros and i'm not sure I will keep it...

depressing.

In my childhood one of my favorite books was Owls in the Family, which is a true story about the author and his two pet owls he cared for during his youth. The book is light-hearted, comical and touching. At the end of the story the author has to move into the city, and so he relunctantly leaves the owls with a friend in the country, hoping to see them again someday.

A JK Rowling-related article on owls as pets prompted me to wiki the Owls in the Family book out of curiosity, to learn if any more backstory was ever given about the pet owls. It revealed that in a later book by the author, both pet owls met with a sad demise; one strangled himself from the wire of his cage, and the other, my favorite, was shot when he escaped and flew back to the author's old home, presumbly in search of him.

how silly to get upset over two birds I'd read about a decade ago, both whom had died back in the 1930s.

ok life bbl

today was full of suck. When I wake up it was raining like a mofo outside. Seriously, I was thinking that this is what it must be like to live on a tropical island during a storm.

around 3 hours later, my mother calls to ask if the basement flooded. Our basement floods on occasion with heavy rain, but never really badly, just the laundry area. I go to check and find the water is up to my freaking ankles.

The whole place got flooded and more water was coming from the drain. I called my mother back after ten minutes of me hauling buckets of water and hurling them outside. I was freaking out and wondering if I should start trying to salvage the furniture, but finally the drain started working again and I was sweeping water until my mother arrived. We swept and vaccumed water for 3 hours straight.

My brother gets home and flips out, curses out everything, then flips out some more. We continue cleaning.

It's 10pm and I can hear my dad is still vaccuming water out the carpet.

Lately I've been looking on bright sides of things, I'm not sure why. A few days ago I hit my hand and my nail on my right hand ring finger bent inside out. That was not pleasant at all. After flipping my nail out right ways in, I sucked on it hard as if it might mask the pain and thought, well at least my whole nail didn't break off.

5 hours in from cleaning the basement, I sigh and lean against my equally weary mop and think, well, at least my cat didn't drown.

almost forgotten how to write in here D: [17 Jun 2007|05:56pm]
[ mood | blank ]

Still recovering from vacation ... I'm still so glad I wasn't one of those people who had a flight delay or even worse, a flight cancellation. It was smooth sailing and a total blast to see a bunch of things I missed last time.

someone (who I don't know) wrote this to me yesterday and I felt very touched.

"There may be people in this world who think of themselves first...butit is a real joy to know that there are also people like you."

Not to toot my own horn but I'm glad when I can help someone, and when they are appreciative.

going to see Nikki tomorrow to help her organize around the apartment. ^^ Knowing me, we are also going to the mall (so I can return stuff >_>) and to the post office (my second home).

I watched 6 episodes straight of I Love Lucy last night. Along with 6 packs of cheese. I love I Love Lucy. I also love cheese. I haven't seen Forensic Files in what seems like ages. Today is Sunday though so nothing will show.

Last week I forgot to buy a book for the airplane, or rather, I felt like I would sleep the entire way so what was the point? But when I got to O'hare it became pretty obvious I was not going to get any sleep so I went over to the catch-all shop to buy some overpriced form of handheld entertainment that wouldn't rot my brain. I almost picked some novel-to-history or a generic murder mystery, but I took a chance and bought Baby Proof by Emily Griffin. I haven't read a good book in years and I made excuses to read all NY weekend and when Dario and Cerine were here. ^^; I have to tell Barbara I enjoyed it, she's read the first 2 of the series and enjoyed them; she said she'd send me the copies, lol. The ending though was one of those ambiguous "make your own conclusion" types. I hate those.

Like the last episode of the Sopranos was ... just a big HUH? .. I had to go online and find out the real meaning of the ending since it refers to earlier episodes I didn't see. Not that I would know about the Heidi game of 68, or previous cast members with agendas -- I've only seen bits and pieces of the series. Links here, here, here. Iiiiinteresting.

this is just not a place I would put tattoos.

my brother bought me a Chococat coin purse. XD I don't really like Chococat or impractical wallets but I think it's actually really cute. Right down to the beaded whiskers!

I went and cleaned out my purse of old postal reciepts and now my bag feels like 5lb lighter.

This was cute: Girl calls police over messy room And this was neat: video of a guy tying his shoelaces with no hands ~

I stumbled over the dubbed version of Crayon Shinchan on CN some time ago and omgshhh I can't believe how good they dubbed it XDDD it's hilarious. I catch it when I can.

SKIN concert at the end of this month is a no-go. I'm broke-ish, and I don't want to pay a plane ticket, an entry con fee, and a concert ticket for a 1-hour show. Even if INAZUMA are playing the next day ;__; Next time. Right now I'm just trying to set my priorities straight.
