I have about two hours until my senior art show. In that amount of time, I need to take a shower, do my hair and make up, and finish 3 paintings and an illustration. No prob.
I just feel awesome right now. We went to get my prom dress today. And I’m basking in the glory of it. We were in and out in 20 minutes with no prior idea of what dress I was going to get. I picked one dress out and it fit. Size 2, $80, and it works with my hair. Some hemming may be needed but THAT’S IT. My conceitedness is at an all time high right now.
In an attempt to teach me some life lesson, my dad decided last night that it was up to me to wake up for school today. I, recently put in a fit of parental rebellion, mentally retorted back “Well how about I just don’t go the fuck to sleep!”
So I actually got some painting done tonight which is pretty good considering I’m behind in four pieces of work and have my senior art show in two days. I also got some room cleaning done, I’m about to tackle my desk, a horror of horrors. Only 30 more minutes before I can start doing laundry.
Everyone has their guilty pleasures, mine is pop culture. This spans itself into many forms of media, fashion, and technology. Today’s subject: phones. God I love phones.
Recently I was told I could get a new mobile and that it could be basically any phone Verizon offered and to be honest, I was a little disappointed. Because of the phones I’ve looked at, none have the proper balance of functionality and aesthetic appeal. From here I ended up thinking about how I wished for a phone like the dLite[despite it being old and not on my service]. The phone had caught my eye immediately when I first saw it at a mobile kiosk a few years ago and I was smitten by it’s design. From here this lead down a path in the opposite direction. Now I want to buy a Nokia 6010. It was my friend’s first of numerous phones and a phone I adored.
Thinking about phones, I’ve been meaning to buy a cheap prepaid one at the convenience store. I had a video idea a long long time ago that involved throwing a working phone into a pool. I figure if I manage to get one, pull off that scene, and get it to still work then it’s a win win. Correct me if I’m wrong but with prepaid I don’t need to up keep the phone’s minutes unless I intend to use it. Plus it’s good to have a back up that I can also trash.
Just got back from the annual Chinatown field trip.We first toured the United Nations (something I’ve already done so it wasn’t very interesting) and then spent half hour sticking our blue tour stickers onto our friend’s face as we waited for the other groups to finish. Unfortunately, the miserable weather had cut short our trip hours and limited my shopping and picture taking abilities.
My friend and I ended up going make up shopping, I getting some Gatsby hair wax and Dolly Eyes false eyelashes and she getting numerous types of BB cream. I also found a cute headphone jack charm but lost it on the bus ride home like an idiot. Got some food too. Got to have some boba tea and I managed to find some Qoo which I’m storing away since it’s near impossible to get if you don’t like in a large city. And some cakes, really pretty cakes. I’m hoping to bribe my mum with one of them to get some lolita clothing and maybe even take a day trip back there in the summer.

Being a girl is expensive. Being a nerd is expensive. Being a nerdy girl is insanely expensive. Being a nerdy girl without a job is pitiful. God I hate being a nerd, too much to want but too poor to buy. And I really just want to be able to afford something from Angelic Pretty.
I love my mom, I really do. But ever since she was introduced to steampunk 2 years ago, she seems to think anything stylistic or Victorian is steampunk. Now Hackers, for those who don’t know, is a 1995 movie starring Johnny Lee Davis and Angelina Jolie as some underground hackers who have to hack a super computer to stop a virus from causing a environmental disaster and is overall a shitty unrealistic movie that inaccurately portrays hackers yet for some unnatural reason I enjoy endlessly. And my mom described this as being steampunk. /facepalm/
The most ghetto commercial I’ve ever seen on my television. The squirrel looked like it was made in mspaint and the skip in the video is legitimately there. I laughed for 5 minutes.
Awwww yeaaaaah! Parents are out. I should totally do some teen mischief right now. Oh who am I kidding, I’m gonna spend the night on tumblr and maybe cleaning…
I want a pair of John Lennon specs so badly. The used clothing store that has them sells them a bit expensive though.
Humph. Everything feels melancholic recently. I’m all of a sudden being prepared to leave the place I’ve lived for 18 years and go out and see more of the world on my own. And while I don’t feel much regret for how I spent my high school years, there’s been this underlying sadness that I’m possibly leaving unfinished business in my wake.

As much as I enjoy my fashion choices, sometimes I wish I was that dorky girl who wore sensible but horridly mismatched clothing to the point were it crosses the sadness and looks cute.
Aaaaand why the hell did a shitty anime tempura painting [with the worst anatomy and composition I’ve seen in a while] appear on my dash unironically?
This video gives me all the feels. All of them. I’m tearing up. I wish I had someone to cuddle with right now. It just….oh god.
