Not Much lately I guess...

2008-09-16T01:30:51Z

I just haven't posted in a while, and my blog was sad looking so here's a post hah I'm lame.

School's calmed down and English is less of a hell than it was. It actually turns out we don't DO anything o_O seriously...he just goes off on talks and rants a lot. And our "essays" he doesn't even read them, he just checks them and says later we'll go back and edit them and what not. Problem with that is that I need help with essay writing NOW seeing as I'll be taking the SAT in the spring. My teacher also decided to make me his personal assistant; I came into class and all the seats were taken so he points to a desk by the door and near his door. During class I'm supposed to alphabetize, pass out, and hand back papers @.@ I even have a stupid piece of paper set up like a little secretary name plate on my desk. This guy has issues. Luckily I only have to do this until Friday and then it's someone else's turn (THANK GOODNESS!)

I went to my friend Amy's house for the first time Saturday, she's the bomb and her family is SO COOL. They're Korean and even though it's so different than Japanese I feel almost like I get a bit of a feel of what it's like to be an exchange student (lol jk Amy) it's so awesome! I was really nervous because I didn't want to make any foux pas on my first visit, Amy even had to remind me to take off my shoes in the house!! (that was embarrasing cause I already do that at my house) But her parents are so nice, her mom called me 'Tinkerbell' and her dad said "I'm Peter Pan!" I laughed so hard. That was the best sleepover I've had in a long time (aside from visiting Maygen of course :3) Amy got me addicted to Big Bang, a Korean boy band that RULESSS OMG G-D I <3 U! "Come on, Come on!" ahahaha I know you guys probably don't know what any of that means but still :D I tried Milkis for the first time and got addicted to those too, it's carbonated water, milk, sugar, and flavors (this may sound disgusting but it's TOTALLY NOT I thought it sounded bad to but it doesn't taste like it sounds at alllll omg it's amazing!!! I'm craving one now *__*) We ended up staying up until 5 watching いま、会いにゆきます (Ima, ai ni yukimasu...english= "I'm coming to see you now") which I TOTALLY recommend, it's so sweet and sad but good and I love it! And we watched clips from Big Bang concerts.
I like typing in Japanese :D
I'm getting tired now -_-; お休みなさい！（ oyasumi nasai, good night!)

DIE, SCHOOL!

2008-08-31T19:45:45Z

OK, wow. So far this year TOTALLY SUCKS
I only have one AP class but already I'm stressing out like mad. AP US History (APUSH) seems really easy so far, but I know it will get harder. Chemistry is so relaxed, laid-back and awesome, my teacher rules. But my life in a WRECK (try as I much to hide how stressed I am, I have to vent) all because of Honors English 11.
First day of school: 3 essays, one on each book we had to read over the summer. The next day, the summer reading test (and somehow we were supposed to just KNOW that we had to know the publication dates of the books >.> f that) then our english teacher (who apperantly is legally allowed to smoke pot) gives us TONS of friggin busy work!!!! About six pages of "copy the sentance and correct the grammar" exercises which we never get past the first page. Then for homework over Labor Day weekend (in which I planned to relax and do some sewing pffft)
he gives us an outline sheet for each of our summer reading books, 30 vocab words with 2 sentances each to have done and memorized by Wednesday, and a 2 page essay on who we think the protagonist of Native Son is (I hate that book I hate that book omg I freaking hate that damn book...personally I don't think there is a protagonist >.>) mind you I don't have much homework in other classes yet but if this is how it's going to be at the beginning, I may have to simply give up any social/fun life, including my dance classes I just started.
I think one of the worst things about my teacher is that he singles people out. He had us write a "journal" on what we want to do differently this year than last year, and when we turned them in he started reading parts of them OUT LOUD. One girl's he read was about how she didn't want to argue with her parents as much and she was so embarrased, Thank God he didn't get to mine.
I want to get switched out, but there are no more schedule changes allowed anymore plus I don't think I'll have it any easier in any other Honors class. My brother told me he had 50 to 60 words a week when he was a junior, but still, this is insane. I know I need to prepare for the SAT but I don't want to be completely overwhelmed either.
My hand hurts now and if I keep typing about english you'll have a novel on your friends page.

New Dress

2008-08-11T02:35:44Z

Well, I turnder on the TV to watch the women's gymnastics on the Olympics, but only saw the very last routine -_-; So now I'm watching the swimming. Yesterday during the men's 100 meter breaststroke when Kitajima (the Japanese guy) won, if you listen really well in the background, they're playing Berryz Koubou's "Tsukkiatteru no ni Kataomoi" :D:D:D here's a video (listen really close at 0:53 and soon after you'll hear Momoko's "Ne ii desho!")

I wish I could do gymnastics but because I have a bad knee, it probably be hard for me and I may not be able to do much of the jumps.

Here's some pics of the dress I just bought off egl_comm_sales
I love it SO much!!! these are crappy pics taken with my camera's timer, it always sends a stupid glare from my mirror doors >.>
the two bows on the bottom need to be stitched on with one little stitch on each side to make them stay down but other than that it's wonderful!

With the detachable sleeves (they look SO much better in person)

ok, bye for now ^^

I'm still alive!

2008-08-05T20:13:17Z

sorry fornot posting for a long time, the house has been kinda hectic.

this.song.RUULLLEESSSS omg i love it so much and the dance, omg the dance is SOOOOO fun!! *squeeeeeeeee* XD

my brother is moving out to go live at college this weekend. im really going to miss him. ._. and to think we always fought. i got him an apartment-warming gift, i hope he likes it; a poster of the Joker from Dark Knight and it says "Why So Serious" he's a 4-chaner lol
he got a new laptop so he gave me his old one, im so happy! but then the day I first had it I was putting my music on it and it shut down...>.> it needs a new battery and AC charger, it's all messed up. I break too many things! =O
I'm still going back and forth about going to Nekocon. I want to go but I REFUSE repeat REFUSE to stay in ONE hotel room with 8 PEOPLE there is no friggin way. i would go crazy seriously. it's not that i dont love my buddies, but that's just to many in one room for me. hmm... what else....
ah! I bought a dress from someone on egl_comm_sales and it should get here next week maybe?
you guys may kill me because it's MOMO's Handicrafts but hey, it was cute, cheap, my style and measurements; all the requirements of a lolita on a budget (at least by my standards) and i did a lot of review reading before i bought it, people said if you order directly from MOMO's that it's suicide trying to get your item, that it takes months, but that their quality is getting a lot better and people are satisfied with the work.
in the wonderful happiness that i finally have a OP with good sleeves (detatchable) send me on a sewing frenzy and I sewed my first headbow. I tried to follow the directions to make the Alice Headbow from Eng. GLB 1, but it was WAY too confusing so I just sewed a rectangle, put lact on, and gathered it in the middle. Unfortunatly, the measurements given in the turtorial I used are soo big for my head....talk about head eating bow, it's more like head DEVOURING bow O_o Ashia said i look like minny mouse -_-;
my dad went and bought me this 850 some page SAT practice book >.> (I say it makes a good door-stop) he really wants me to do well but he's making me worry more about taking it.
signing off!

I lurvs mah hat

I always wanted to be a duck, now I am :D

Pizza Hut...WTF?

2008-07-23T00:07:56Z

Srsly! >=O
We wanted to get pizza for dinner and we would all MUCH rather have Pie Works, but it's more expensive so we went to pizza hut like normal. My first "arg" was that they had taken the salad bar away....no more free go-get-it-as-you-please ranch for my pizza. While we were waiting for the food, the jukebox started playing RAP MUSIC O_O the juke box in there will automatically play music and my mom and I had pretty much decided they program the most annoying songs so that you put your money in to change to song, lol. Then while we were eating some song "The Ballad of the Green Barret" came on and I was lmao'ing. My dad told my mom that if she could tell him the name of the singer he would stand on the table and yodell, so I ran over to the machine and read the name out laughing (he didn't yodel >.>)
So, what has me so mad? Normally they have this deal where if you get one large pizza you get a medium for $8, saving monies. We ordered a large and a medium along with 4 adult drinks and a childs drink. Our bill total? $50!!!!!!! >:O for the love of! We could have eaten Pie Works (much better taste, quality, and no where near as much grease) for cheeper!!!
I'm ticked.

Hair

2008-07-07T22:26:23Z

Got my hair cut today, I'm really pleased with how it came out and can't wait to see it when it's a bit more loli-fied.
I have pics but I must warn you guys, I look very different!

Before:

After:

Told ya it was different!
We went to the mall and had a fun time mostly window shopping. At one point a lady with a heavy (italian?) accent came up to us from one of the kiosks in the (hallway/ walkway w/e )with a hairbrush and wanted us to see her product. After one time of us saying "we'll come back" and then we realized that we accidently walked by her place again so we had to go see what she was selling.
She sat me down and started straightening my hair with her "company's break-through technology straightener" and talking about how her product was better than other straighteners because theirs was better on your hair and what not. After a while of this she tried to get us to buy one of these "new products" ....for $159 at the cheapest 0.0 when we said we didn't want to buy, she didn't take no for an answer and kept trying to get us to buy it. Luckily Maygen's mom's cell phone went off so we left. Apparently later we ran into her again and she gave us death glares >.>
Funniest part is that when we got home, I used Maygen's mom's usual straightener and it did the exact same thing that lady's expensive on did...for much cheaper. lol i hate salespeople

See you guys later!

First day in Tampa

2008-07-07T02:41:25Z

I'm here finally! It was a loooooooooooong car ride though, adding in all the pit stops and what not it took us about 13 hours >.> Luckily I slept most of the time. We stopped in St. Augustine for about and hour to look at the fort and what not, so of course I have pics.

Oldest Town in USA, St. Augustine

The crest across from the drawbridge

The Drawbridge (used to be moat under thar! :O)

View from the Drawbridge

I'm not used to Florida humidity, it's worse than home by far. On top of that I didn't drink anything because I didn't want to make us stop for bathroom breaks more often than absolutly neccesary. After hanging around the Fort for a while, I ended up a little dehydrated...it wasn't fun then.
But for a 13 hour car ride with 3 boys and a dog...I think I'm ready to take on anything life throws at me :)......except that cellphone Maygen just threw at my back.... (thanks Maygen)
I never knew laying around made you so sleepy 0.0 I slept a lot and then when we got to Tampa, I fell asleep. Maybe I'm no longer a Gaara and have become a Stark? HELL YEA!....wait...no...hmmm :/
Today I decided to go out in Lolita (my lil panda one)...bad idea lol. Maygen's family isn't used to my crazy ways hehehe her mom reminded me we were going to the grocery store, not church. Her dad....scared me...."What is that?! What are you wearing?" etc And then her youngest brother asked "why is she wearing a dress?" and the other said "why are you dressed like that?" but I got the same usual stares from complete strangers so it was worth it :D
To be honest, it made me really depressed. I couldn't smile really and now...I'm worried to wear Lolita around any of the family other than Maygen. It just made me super uncomfortable and sad...lolita usually helps me feel better about my self but today it just made me want to go back home....I've been feeling kinda homesick ever since.
anyway, We had to rush back home though because we were going house hunting...kinda tiring and once again, I kept falling asleep in the car. But boy, Maygen was right about storms. It's been raining all night and all the time I keep seeing lightning and it's really weird seeing as I haven't seen rain in months.
Tonight was Maygen's brother's birthday so we went to a Chinese buffet

I told Maygen to give me a little smile (her dad had an interesting expression so I made it even more fun!)

My little smile

Then we went to see Hancock. I thought at first that it would be another boring movie with your basic super hero movie but it was really good. When we got back we broke out the "cake" for Christian. IE: a cup Of Dippin Dots

Happy 13th, Christian!

Now we're watching Harry Potter 4
My stomach is on a crazy eating schedule now since for the past 2 days I've eated breakfast....no lunch and then maybe something for dinner (last night it was at 9:30)
I know it will get better, I just have to hang on is all.

Bonus pics for today, Maygen's cat, Casper in the water bottle box. She's so cute!

I don't know how many times I'll be able to be on, Maygen says the daily storms tend to knock out the internet a lot.
Bye for now!

Adventures of Cookie Baking

2008-07-03T23:25:17Z

One of my absolute best friends ever, (let's face it, we're practically sisters) is up this week from Florida to visit. We had quite an interesting time today. It's almost as good as when I almost burned down the house trying to make pizza!

we made cookies

but I eated it

I never realized following instructions on the back of a package could be so hard O_o
It said to put one stick of cold (IE not melted...I think....) butter and a large egg and to mix them together then add the mixture stuff. Uh.....the butter wasn't mixing sooo.... we put it in the microwave! ^^;

Maygen was ready to attack the dangerous concoction with the mighty spatula of POWAAAA!!!!

Does it look better now?.....ewww

DO NOT LOOK AT THE NEXT PIC IF YOU'RE EATING!!

It looks more like scrambled eggs gone bad ._.;

gross huh? Well then we added the batter and it looked ~~a little~~ much better.

Attempting to make the cookies (it said the mix would look dry but would stick together....

Maygens (looks like sand....GAARA'S PLAYGROUND!!!)
me: Anything you can do....

mine
me: I can do better :D

Finished product!!!!

Taste Test
(the reason I ask if they normally taste like this is that the cookies we made were made with no wheat, it's an allergy for my buddy so we bought this mix ^^)

They tasted really good actually! With milk, of course cause cookies+milk= <3
This was my 3rd time having gluten (wheat) free cookies and it tastes different, they aren't anywhere as near chewy or doughy, but more crumbly but they still taste awesome. The ones Maygen's mom makes are so much better though :)

OMAKE:
Maygen in my OP Tartan I bought at AZ....it looks tons better on her :D
I told her, those earings are so not rori >.>

Long Day, Long Rant

2008-06-30T23:40:56Z

I was hoping to get my hair cut today, but instead I spent about 3+ hours walking around the Natural Science Center. My niece is going on a trip for a week tomorrow so we took her to NSC so we could all have a day together. We somehow all passed under the same name (all 5 of us that only 2 are actually members) to get in for free ^^; hehe... So first we went to see the "frog exhibit" which really didn't have any frogs except 2 and a big tadpole, and some frog statues >.> but there were a bunch of hands-on brainteasers so I went to work on those, many of which I was able to solve very quickly, especially Brahman's Pyramid. There was one puzzle that was literally impossible to solve, it said no one had ever solved it, and All I could think was "why did they put this in here if you can't solve it?" Well, it melted my brain.
After a while I took my niece into the frog maze thing, that was fun and she knew the way for the most part which was cute to watch. She and her mom went to play in the kids room and my mom, brother and I stayed with the puzzles trying to solve every single one (except that one stupid one >.>) Ashia and I agreed it would be awesome if I went into the maze to one of the dead ends and just started dancing randomly....so I did! ^^ I did some Berryz Koubou and MoMusu dances and part of Anataboshi. Unfortunatly no kids came in the maze during that time, so I didn't get any stares >.> *attention whore* <----lol
About 2 hours later we went out to the see all the animals and pet them, omg I could have petted the Ferrets, Guinea Pigs, and Alpacas all day *_* the Alpacas were so funny, one kept getting close to me and I would go to pet him but he would put his face right near minea and I would get scared and do this stupid little girly scream x3 lolz. But after the Meir Cats (sp?) I was tired of being outside and wanted to go home. We stayed there about another hour I guess or more and my niece hadn't had a nap so she was cranky and I think we all wanted to go home, but we stayed there until it closed. When I got home, I fell asleep xP

OMFG there's a cute lil squirrel outside the window!!! *squeeee* he's hanging onto the wire of the fence with his front paws like he's trying not to fly away cause it's windy :3 kawaii <3

Rant FTW!!!
I love H!P with a passion, the songs and dances are so catchy and fun, and the girls in the groups are all awesome...most of them anyway....
But I was really disappointed with Berryz Koubou's newest PV; watch here, and force yourself to watch it all the way through

O.O
wtf yo?
It's like H!P has given up on Berryz. C-ute gets to grow up and do mature songs, naturally so does MM, but Berryz are older than C-ute for the majority and deserve more songs like Jiriri Kiteru and Special Generation. The video looks like they gave them some faberic, 200 yen, and said "here's a camera and MS Paint, make a PV" cause the effects are terrible and everything is so repeditive...and those outfits... o_O there are no words. And almost everyone on forums are like "Ah! It's amazing! so cute! great PV!" and all that crap when honestly, they could have done SO much better. Someone even went as far as to say that if we liked minimoni then we can't hate this vid because it's something Minimoni would have done....BERRYZ ARENT MINIMONI!!! They're Berryz!!!
On the positive side, Maasa and Chinami totally owned the PV and there was awesomely esual line distribution.
BIG RANT: HOW COME RISAKO ALWAYS GETS THE CENTER?!?? omg she's not nearly as good as Miyabi, nor to Maasa or Chinami or Saki or Yurina or Momoko for that matter!! During the Chorus of the song, she just stands there with her arm in the air, like, like, like she's too cool to suck it up and do what the older girls are doing! She barely smiles throughout the whole vid, a lot of times I just want her to get kicked out and have them bring Maiha back.

I cut the rant to save some space on your friends page.
Bye and have a nice day ^^

Camp Day 2

2008-06-18T00:19:27Z

A slightly...what am I saying, MUCH better day today! It wasn't as hot and the breeze was blowing so it felt really good. Sue didn't come back today, so while I feel bad saying this, I was rather happy. I got to chase Happy around again today, and he didn't hurt me or his rider, yay! At one point I decided to go see the Turkeys, ducks, and chickens. I was doing my chicken call (which was more effective on the turkeys...) and the Tom turkey got all big and poofy, it was hilarious! I had on sunglasses, so I leaned right down to a female and she kept pecking my glasses, then a duck stole my friend's lollipop. We were like "Taty!! Get it out! He'll DIE!" all dramatic and what not. So we made Taty go into the fence and I told her to take a stick to get the roosters back, I look and she's got a little twig and is at the gate saying "No! I don't wanna, it's scary!" I gotta admit the birds were kinda menacing...but another girl went in there and got the lollipop from the mob of birds who had been fighting over it.
The painful part for me came after lunch. [This time I took pics and vids (may take a while to get vids up here) of lunch and games.]
We were playing a game called "Captain's Coming" also known as "Ships and Sailors" where one side of the yard is "Ships" the other is "Shore" and you run to which ever is called out, plus there are extra moves added require getting a partner or twp. It's kind of a running crazy hyper version of Simon Says. One of the moves is 'Jellyfish' in which you stop where you are, lie on your back with your arms and legs waving in the air. My instructor decided it would be funny to say "Jellyfish to the shore!" and we're all sitting there, rather laying, thinking how we're going to do that, and I start doing back rolls, everyone else followed. Another great one was rushing to get to "Man overboard" which is when one person gets on their hands and knees and another stands over them looking around for sed 'lost man' I always ended up being the person on her knees (-_-;)
After devotions we had a scavenger hunt and I was put at the rear to make sure none of the kids got left behind. Towards the end, my friends and I got permission to go off into the woods where there is an old abandoned house. My friends wanted me to see if I felt any spirits and they wanted to watch what I did to see if I felt anything. Unfortunatly I didn't have my camera there, because the old house was really cool and creepy. Only one room was still standing and the ceiling was only about 6 foot. The front door had glass panels at one point, but they were broken out now. There was an attic/loft that I wanted to look in, so I got someone to boost me up in there, it was really cool. Though I didn't feel anything really except a little something in the attic, I ended up almost getting stuck up there which was a little scary o_o There was no ladder to get down or anything and the girl who boosted me up didn't know how to help me get down. So I had to jump out what used to be a window about 6 or 7 feet to the ground. I was scared to jump but had no choice, luckily I didn't hurt myself (^_^;)
On to pictures!
Tatyana being a pirate with my bottle cap at lunch (I wish I had gotten her mouth closed instead of having her show you her Fruit Loops >.>)

The campers getting ready to play "Captain's Coming" (I'm in the back behing the girl in the yellow shirt)

This move is called "Crow's Nest" and takes 3 people

"Jellyfish"

"Crab to the Ship!"

"Dead Crab!"

Still dead crab (some survived)

Running to do something, utter chaos

"Captain's Coming!"

Tempe:"To the Ship!"
Me: "SPARTAAAAAA!!!!"
I like how I'm the only helper running with the kids :P

End of day 2, my leg's paying for it

Today was my first day helping at horse camp. It kinda got off to a rough start but I think it'll get better.
I accidentally slept in and was a few minutes late to help (which made me feel bad). I was in charge of Happy (terribly named horse btw, definatly unfitting his personality) during riding. He's an old Appaloosa who likes to bite and is just plain sour sometimes, like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AOwqF1EflI . The two girls I was working with that were going to be riding Happy getting him brushed off and everything, and when we got ready to pick the dirt out of his feet, the youngest girl (let's call her Sue for this journal) says "I don't want to pick out feet" and I reminded her of her first camp rule [no complaing about what horse you get and you are resonsable for that horse] So I showed her how to make Happy lift his foot up. It was really packed with dirt, but that's expected. So the entire time, I held the horse's foot up while she picked it out and complained (-_-;) ANYWAYS moving along....
I got to follow a girl on Happy all the way around the ring a bunch of times because he can be hard to steer and she was still learning. Man, am I out of shape! I was exhausted after following her at the trot @.@ After her group was done, it was time for Sue's group to ride. These were the younger girls (which is always fun >.>) I stood there for a few minutes holding Happy and waiting for Sue, and in the process, Happy nicked the inside of my foot by stepping near it and scraping it up (O_O;) It hurt and still hurts if I touch it, I imagine I'll have a bruise (I had to get it washed out and cleaned and everything in the tack room, which was very tiny and the only way we could rinse the dirt off was for me to lift my foot up into the sink (-_-;))
A few minutes later, my instructor's daughter came out with Sue and was talking to her about how "She can do it" and "you'll have fun!" so I knew I had a happy camper to work with. We gave Sue water and agreed that if she just walked Happy around the ring once and still didn't want to ride, she could get off. She rode for a while before getting off, I gave her some more water (it was hot out) then sat with her for a while. It was hard to understand her when she talked cause she was quiet, but I asked her if she needed anything, and she says "I need to use the restroom" I'm like 'ok, the port-a-john is over there' and she tells me she won't use the thing cause she's scared of it. So I had to get special permission to walk her up to the other barn to use the bathroom.
When we got back, we all sat on the fence and watched the other girls riding, and I looked over at her and she has her hand over her mouth and she's crying. O.O freakout panic-attack time for Rikku!!!! I am PETRIFIED of people getting sick! can't stand to see it at all! total phobia! So I tell her to lean over the fence and that it's gonna be ok, and she got sick. My friends that were sitting with me jumped off the fence and got on the other side of me (away from the sick) and my instructor told me to take charge and keep the younger girls riding while she helped Sue. Poor Sue, I felt bad for her, she was getting sick a lot. I got the girls to ignore Sue and continue with camp. Sue's mom came and got her, I feel bad for saying this, but I kinda don't hope she comes back tomorrow. That's a terrible thing of me to say though, I hope she feels better.
Everything was fine after that though, very relaxing day really with lunch followed by Devotions, games, and sitting in front of a fan that mists water at you while it fans you. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day, with pictures, if I remember my camera!

School's Out!

Yesterday was my last day of school! YAAAAAY!
Tuesday my mom french braided my hair (since it was about 100 degrees again) And I kept it up like that all day and night, until laaate that night. I wanted to see what my hair looked like crimped but not frizzed. So I took some pics of befores and afters

OCTOPUS HAAAAAIIIIRRR

Hello Kitty Powaaaa!!

Blurry pic where I'm just all "V!"

Brushed out...and "V!" again...>.>

Is dis Rori?

PONYTAIL POOF POWAAAAA! (Moar Hello Kitty earmuffs)

I felt like the 90's. I couldn't get a really good pic of how pooffy the ponytail was, but I felt like a poodle
(no offense, Rosie [my poodle baby])

I currently owe my mom about $30 ._.; we went to Michael's the other day (I love that store I want to LIVE there o_o) and bought supplies to make "NC EGL" team shirts for me and minty_alice and Andrea. The supplies all together costed about $30 and I also bought 3 pairs of flipflops to decorate for the summer in honor of my top 3 fave anime men (link to those below) which made the total cost about $13. I only had $20 at the time and she paid for it for me, in return, I'm a stablehand ^^; as soon as the weather gets a little cooler, I get to clean Snicker's stall, clean all our tack, brush all 4 horses clean, and anything else she finds that she needs done. It's not hard work, and I'm very happy that it's work with the horses, I just wish it wasn't so hot outside. I payed off a little of what I originally owed yesterday by spending 2 hours helping mom stack haybales into the back of the truck in 100 degree weather and unload them, as well as being her driver today (look out, I'm on the road!) and anything else needed.
I'm not trying to suck up to her, but maybe if I do this even after my debt it payed, she'll help me buy some lolita stuff? I can always dream...

Black: Kanji for Love
Blue: (supposed to be) Noitora's eyepatch over his Espada rank number 5
Green: (supposed to be) Ulquiorra's Helmet over his Espada rank number 4

Side of Blue (♥ Noitora ♥) [Rosie in the pic]

Side of Green (♥ Ulquiorra ♥)

Side of Black [hard to see in this pic] (♥ Gaara ♥)

bye for now!

Today was Loliday!

2008-06-08T03:34:42Z

Whoohooo! International Lolita day! I had fun wearing my lolita JSK that minty_alice made for me ^u^ Unfortunatly it ws about 100 outside today and not only was it impractical to wear my dress when putting the horses out to pasture and back in th barn, but it was MISERABLE O.O i hate humidity
After watching the Belmont with my mom (poor Big Brown, we were pulling for him, hope he's OK) we were going to eat and I changed back into Lolita, but my mom looked at me funny and said "We're not going anywhere fancy or anything..." I told her it was Loliday and she just kinda sighed and went on, she puts up with all sorts of crazy stuff from me :P sometimes I swear my mom is a Saint.
I got a big surprise after supper at McD's, we went to Blockbuster and I saw nekoyousei ^^ I had to do a double take, and I felt stupid because when I see someone I haven't seen more than once, my mind blanks and I temporarily forget their name >_< I'm bad with names. But I was really happy to see Bekka and meet her mom.
We got home late, and I had to go feed the horses in the dark. Normally I wouldn't have a problem, but when I opened the tackroom/feed room door, right where the feed bins are was a BIG wandering spider. I HATE SPIDERS I am very afraid of them!!! Approximate measurments of this ugly thing are: body 1.5"x1/4" and legs: around 2" or 2.5" 0.0 I freaked. I found myself too scared to move, so I got out my cell phone and called my best friend in Tampa for backup (I was too ashamed to call my own house -_-;) she told me to throw something at it, so I took a dirt clod and threw it at the spider, the dirt clod hit beside it and broke, which scared me, and the spider didn't move 0.0 so Maygen suggested the fact that water and spiders dont mix. I had a little cup of water to use on the horse's food, so I threw water against the wall and the spider moved, making me scream. It took about 3 little splashes of water to get the evil beast down where I couldn't see it and it wouldn't creep me out as much. I stayed on the phone with Maygen for a little bit, which was a good thing because about 2 minutes later, the light in the tack room went out. In the tackroom, alone, at night, in the pitch black dark....with a spider O_O not cool at all. See, my mom's filly knows how to turn light switches on and off, and she chose the one of the room I was in >.> (thanks Sierra for scaring the beJebus out of me) Once I got the light back on and the horses had their food I was still talking to Maygen, and my mom came down to the barn (I had taken a lot longer than normal) to make sure I was OK. (thanks again mommy!!!)
All in all, a crazy night full of happy and absolute scared-ness ^^;
Happy Lolita Day, everyone!!

Three-Day Weekend

2008-06-06T01:44:56Z

Today I had my Biology exam and I just gotta say, I worried over NOTHING! It was so easy! I was so happy when I got it and was one of the first to finish, it felt good. Everyone finished before the second break. During the first break (we had to stay quiet etc you know the drill) it got to where it was just my friend and another girl and I standing, my teacher mouthed "three" and we all looked at each other and the girl sat down, my teacher: "two" and my friend and I were being silly and giving each other the "I'm watching you" look.
We had scrap paper and I made a huge Bleach chibi drawing page of silly-ness, including the Schiffer Swiffer, the Ulquana, the Spoon of no return, and "Raising the Bar, even in Hueco Munedo!" unfortunatly they take up the papers -_-;
When I got home I decided not to be a pyro and eat a PBJ sandwich instead of anything that required cooking. And gosh I have been so thirsty today! Freakin 95 degrees and humidity you have to use a chainsaw to cut through >.>

But WHOOOOHOOOO I don't have an exam tomorrow, so I can just stay home and do whatever the heck I feel like!! I plan on sleeping in, feeding the horses, eating a nice brunch, then just laying around and reading ^^ I'll definatly throw dancing in there also, cause we all know I can't go one day without dancing! =D

It kinda sucks though, cause two of my friends also have no exam tomorrow, and I think they're going to the mall but I probably won't be able to go, not only because I'm broke, but also because my mom doesn't like the mall, and says its very dangerous (which I can understand) but still, I haven't been since Christmas *begs mommy*

Ugh my allergies are driving me crazy tonight. I accidently fell asleep for about an hour after supper and when I woke up my nose was running, eyes are itchy and sore, the whole 9 yards of allergies. That's what I get for hugging my horse -_-; I couldn't help it, she was being so sweet and cuddly, I just had to hug her (I'm allergic to horses, yet we have 4 and I ride xD yay allergy meds!)
I really need to clean my room, but I just feel like being lazy tonight. ^u^ Plus I really want to prepare something awesome for International Lolita Day this satuday, I'd like to sew a skirt to wear and find a cute cutsew but I can't drive and can't....really...sew.. >.> last time I tried to sew a simple circle skirt It came out really uneven and bleh and...yea I can't sew...ahehe....^_^; but I finished putting a zipper in my bunny back pack and I made two sets of lace cuffs ^^ *proud* If I can just find a little blue cutsew (can't believe I don't have one O_o its my fave color!) I could wear my teddy JSK tucked in so it looks like a skirt, my blue cuffs, white socks and my white shoes ^^ and Bunnykins of course :3

Das ist alles, Tschues! ^o^

Exam Tag Eins

2008-06-04T19:36:17Z

This time I'm going back to English, because I'm tired and lazy right now.
Had my Algebra II exam today, it was ok, there were only a few I had to guess on and still finished about 30 minutes early. It feels good to be out of school early, we have halfdays all exam days, so we get out about noon. Needless to say I was very hungry by the time I got home and decided to heat up a frozen pizza...
I never had such a hard time fixing a pizza until today. I had the oven-preheated and when I got ready to put the pizza in I saw that there was a cookie pan in the oven already o_O all I could figure was my dad made something for breakfast and forgot to take out the pan? who knows. So I got the stupid pan out and ran it over to the sink, poured cold water on it, and the kitchen went all steamy (lol the Shauna's open 24 hours, room for everyone xDDD thank you animazement) and in the confusion of trying to put my pizza in and clean the other pan, I forgot to set the timer for the pizza o_o A few minutes later I realized the timer wasn't going.
me: Umm...Ashia...?
ashia: what?
me: how long ago did I put the pizza in the oven? *slouching in shame*
ashia: *laughing* just look at it and see if it looks done
me: does it look done? I don't know
ashia: you're asking the person who made a pizza explode?

I opened the door and decided to leave it in for a few minutes. Thank goodness the house didn't burn down and the pizza was still cooked and edible.
I also got my class ring finally today, after a problem with delivery to my school they mailed it to me (months after everyone else's) I like it, it's nice and tiny and fits me very nicely. I got my school mascot and a horse, my school name, my name, and my birthstone. Unfortunatly it doesn't have my class graduating date o_O wonder where that went...instead there's my initials carved inside. hmm must've filled it out wrong.

Furthermore, there are videos and pictures on the internet of supposedly Natsuyaki Miyabi and Inoo Kei embracing and kissing.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hKInWoq6Jrs&feature=related
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3at4kwkV9HQ

Doing so is in violation with Miyabi's H!P contract. The videos looked a little convencing but this picture makes me think it may not be Miyabi:
http://www.hello-online.org/hello/images/articles/article200806021605033333.jpg The chin seems too rounded in these
http://www.hello-online.org/hello/images/articles/article200806030411063802.jpg
something about the face looks like a younger miyabi...then again im probably in denile because I don't want one of my favorite members and the best singer in Berryz Koubou to get banned (she's also in Buono)
kerBLEH this is a usless post

2008-05-19T00:35:02Z

There's nothing like the satisfaction of knowing you've done something good, especially with your friends. Yesterday the anime club at my school (of which I am a part of...duh >.>) cleaned up the courtyard that's in the middle of our school. It took 3 hours and 8 people to get a little over 1/2 of it done. We had a lot of fun, blaring Japanese music and singing along while we pulled weeds and constantly made "hoe" jokes.
Afterwards, we met up at McDonalds and crammed in the playplace (I wish I had pictures of that!!!) with my niece. The only bad thing was that there was this kid in there who was about 5 and he kicked me several times, spit in my friend's face, pinched me and another of my friends, and kicked another of us o_O needless to say we told his parents and he got spanked...*devilish grin* I'm 16 and I still tattle hehehe....
It was totally an awesome day with the girls.
When I got home I took a shower and we were going out to eat, so I wanted to look kinda different today, so this is what I wore (I like wearing different stuff like this, it's wild and crazy and comfortable!) [sorry my room's a mess!!! >.<]

I loved my hair

Earlier last week I bought my Ulquiorra Espada boots and painted them, so I put the whole outfit together (getting the wig this week) and took silly pics.
I have a fake eyeball...lol

STUPIDITY SHOTS!!!!

Couldn't keep a straight face...

Om nom nom nom

^ I look high or something ^

ok, I'm done spamming your friends page now

good gosh!

2008-05-11T02:24:13Z

I spent all of Thursday night and part of Friday morning in our hall way with my mom, dad, brother, his girlfriend, my niece, our dog, and our bird. ---_---
we had severe weather here and there were tornadoes near where i live as well as my friends. it was scary; i made a video of the lightning from my window minutes before we took cover. i'll put it on youtube and link it here eventually

at least we are all ok, sadly one person was killed in a different town.
and im worried cause it's supposed to do that thing again tomorrow on mother's day. I pray everyone stays safe.

animazement is coming up quick, i'm so excited!!!! unfortunatly, i have a speech and two projects due on the 21st -_-; i hate giving speeches, and this one is for a stupid research paper that stressed me out so much....i thought i was done with it but noooo, now i get to give a speech to my class (of preps other than andrea) about why they should give a rat's arse about the Luftwaffe >.> or as andrea and I say.... the LoveWaffles >3> <3< heheeh

moving on

it is extremely difficult to type with fake nails on...oh well.

Desicions, Desicions

2008-05-04T17:31:33Z

I have two different lolita outfits I want to buy, but I can't decide between them T^T they're equal in price once you add shipping.

these are the two dresses I love (well...just two...I love so many, these are ones I can afford xD)
ITS solid JSK in blue with white lace

or

Anna House minus the eyelet lace on the bodice.

my best friend wants to order a JSK also, she's getting an ITS JSK once she saves up.
I like the simplicity of the jsk, but I also love the OP from Anna house, awww this is so hard to choose. and then once I choose, I still have to ask my parents o_o

I found a bunny yesterday at Kohls (pic later) that came with bath stuff. He's so adorable! But I haven't named him yet, and I'm not snuggling with him any, just so that I can turn him into my bunny purse ^^ I'm hoping minty_alice and I can figure out how to make him into a purse (I wonder if she knows how to add a zipper...) if not, my mom could probably do it, she's an amazing seamstress.

My mom's working on making me a BTSSB replica and it's looking good, I'm just slightly worried that it's too frilly on the shoulders, but I don't want to have to make her change all her hard work. -_-; I'm so hard to please, and I'm very thankful that she's even putting up with my new hobby. But on top of the dress, we still need to finish my shirt for Animazement and my niece's Link costume (18 days left!!!!!!) plus I still need to buy a black wig for my Ulquiorra costume...but my mom doesnt really want me to, so I brought up the fact that otherwise I would have to chop off my hair again and dye it (that made her cringe) so maybe I can go find one this week.

And I'm still trying to find a job for this summer/ weekends so I can save up to buy loli stuff and help pay expenses from horseback riding lessons.

Lolita in Public

2008-04-20T04:05:00Z

Several of my friends remember my first attempt of lolita last summer. It was sad and makes me cringe when I look at it...

Type your cut contents here.

XP yikes

anyway.

long chat with minty_alice last night on how we could modify this and acctually try to turn it into something .
here's roughly what we came up with: (ignore messy room)

you have no clue how much I love my sock/shoe combination *melts* I don't know why either xP

Anyway, I went right up the road from my house to the soda shop (yes, here in our town we have a soda shop) for lunch dressed in my casual. I love the looks people give me when I go anywhere dressed in loli or any of my other crazy outfits. It makes me wanna say "Oh wow!!! A normal person takeapicturewithmeandthenormalperson!!1!!11!!!"
So yea ^^

currently on a caffeine high! whoooo!!

PSilikecornogs ^^

Sick...but I has Lolita pics fer yoo!

2008-04-17T01:38:09Z

Ah, allergies, may I count the ways I dispise thee.
....
I can't count that high...
Yea, my allergies have gotten really bad within the past few hours, causing me to feel like an inflated balloon face -_-;
My throat hurts and I ahve pretty much no energry. I'm hoping it's only allergies and not Strep Throat >_<
meh, I will survive the allergy season. It just may take soem willpower to keep from staying home from school tomorrow though...

I went shopping with my friends Saturday and bought a pair of white shoes for $4 at Target (kids section on clearance) HOORAY SMALL FEET AND GOOD PRICES! I love these shoes!!!!
These are now my main lolita shoes

Video Comment Rant

2008-04-13T19:12:45Z

I've danced all my life. Since I was 3 to be exact. And then I started posting my videos on youtube, only to be ridiculed and called a slut, a whore, and to be told I sucked.
I don't dance for over two hours every night to get this shit from people.
What REALLY gets me ticked is when I post in the description box that "I am still working on this dance" or "I'm still learning" or "this is me being stupid, not really dancing" people flame about how much the dance sucks.
Wow, I feel really great getting my first entry on my livejournal to be a rant...
Is the reason I get these comments because I react like this and get mad, or am I just blind and I really do just suck at dancing?
But let's face it, you can't please the Youtube community unless you have huge boobs and a big ass.
To the people who positivily comment on my videos, thank you, and please be honest if you aren't already.
To others, if you have nothing nice to say, shove it.
