So, I saw this in Kera today, fell in love with it, and now that I see everyone calling it ugly online, am wanting it even more! I applaud Angelic Pretty for their unique color choices and designs, it's a lot better than seeing the same monotone jsk over and over again.

 ( Let's hear it for variety! )

This past weekend, my sister and I decided to hook up our old Sega Saturn! We played D, if anyone remembers this rare horror game, as well as Dragon Force, a completely underrated strategy/RPG game. I remember back in the day staying up until 6 in the morning playing Dragon Force, unlocking all the characters, taking over all the castles, pillaging and plundering... then I remembered how the Saturn had one fatal error in it's system...

( *drum roll* )

So, I was really bored at work last week, and decided to make a mini shrine to Ben Barnes on one of the fixtures in the kid's section. What do you think? Now I can look at his face every day ^_______________^

This is like seriously, WTF. hahaha, two-headed Lara Croft!! Now that's classic!

So muc h lolita, so little time (and money!). Looking at my barren lolita wardrobe, I realized that there are a lot of staple items that I am totally lacking! 2 pairs of shoes and 1 blouse with a few different colored skirts/dresses does not constitute a wardrobe, especially since I pretty much have no matching headgear to go with my outfits. SO, here is my wishlist/soon-to-be-checklist of things I want need to buy!

( COME ON LOTTERY, MAKE ME A MILLIONAIRE!! )

I'm working on my wishlist 2.0. But right now I have a serious dilemna. I can either buy more lolita clothing or fill up my gas tank with $4.35/gal gas............... seriously leaning towards buying lolita clothing and fucking walking everywhere and looking damn cute while doing it. What d'ya think?

My friend bought some magazines at Mitsuwa wth Narnia pictures in them. Here's the folder with all the scans, courtesy of Emily, including some VERY nice ones of Ben Barnes. Enjoy!

( Come shopping with me :) )
Bonus Video!! Meet Jaime's barely legal boyfriend! *k, seriously, I'm going to hell...*

So, apparently Ben Barnes (his hotness, Prince Caspian) was in a boy band called Hyrise... I kid you not, here is video evidence. Rosie, I hope this doesn't ruin your image of him as it has mine lol

Soooooooo, it's been a bit since I've posted. I've had a miyavi concert, lolita meetup, multiple Prince Caspian viewings, and a really unfortunate viewing of the live action Death Note movie. So! First things first, here's the pictures from Thanh's camera of our karaoke lolita meetup:

( Follow his majesty to the lolis... )

Well, that's all for the pictures. So onto some fun stuff. I've seen Prince Caspian 4 times now *_* I think I'm a little obsessed with Ben Barnes, and to me, Emily's, and Adriene's surprise, Skandar Keynes (who plays Edmund). I'm sorry, but between the last movie and this one, that kid got HOT! And in other movie news, they were randomly showing the live action Death Note movie at our theater, so me and my sister decided to dress up and go. Now I remember why I'm not as into anime as I used to be... the theater was full of the worst species of weeaboos I have ever heard! The were SCREAMING, literally, SCREAMING the whole movie, being as annoying as humanely possible. Then when I though it couldn't get any worse, that's when the fangirls began shouting YAOI over and over and over... well you get my point. UGH!

So that's all for now, I'll post our outfit pictures from Death Note when they are ready. Mata ne~

Kitty's gone... we had to have him put to sleep this morning. A few weeks ago he got sick and wasn't eating, and then it looked like he was getting better. He was starting to move around again and eat food. Last week, he wouldn't get up anymore. He stopped eating, he started going to the bathroom uncontrollably wherever he was laying, and his throat started to swell. He didn't sleep last night, and he started having trouble breathing. The medicine we gave him wasn't working, and today he became unresponsive. We had to have him put to sleep. I hate this... I hate how I've had to do this to 4 pets in the last 5 years. Seeing their face just before they leave, the guilt starts to sink in. Like, was there anything else we could've done? I feel so empty now, and I know tonight when I go to bed, the pain will sink in. I'm not okay right now.

(bad english still intended :D)

I got me and my sister's tickets for the Miyavi concert in Anaheim on the 14th! YAY!

(Bad English intended :D)

My first good news is that I bought Mario Kart Wii this wiik, and it is soooo much fun! You can't really go wrong with a Mario Kart, though. The Wii Wheel (Wiil!) is a little hard to use at first, it really takes some practice! Now I'm actually thinking of cosplaying as either Peach or Rosalina in their awesome racing biker gear!

I FINALLY got the first of my tax refund money!! YAY! I'm hoping I still get that economy stimulus money as well, because that one's going to bills and a new TV for my room. BUT---- I placed an order with BTSSB for the following (whether or not they're actually available is up in the air *keeps fingers crossed*):

( Click for tax refund goodness :D )

Got my photos from the craft meetup uploaded! YAY! So here they are :D

( Onto the pictures )
On the plus side, my cat is finally eating ^_^ He ate some dry food yesterday, and more today. He's up moving around now, and hasn't vomited in 2 days! It looks like he's going to be okay, thank you everyone for your support!

CRAFT MEETUP SIDE

Went to the SD Lolita craft meetup today. Yay! It was a lot of fun, just me, Adriene, Thanh & Rosie. We worked on actual craft stuff for, like, an hour. At that point I realized I was completely incapable of actually making crafts look decent, and stuck a fork in it :D

After that, we all got our hair done by our wonderfully talented hostess (thanks!), got dressed and headed out for a little road trip. We walked around Book Off for a bit, though I didn't really see anything that I needed. SHOCK! Jaime NOT buying CDs for once! Then we went to a really nummy tea place for some Boba... and I pigged out on tonkatsu and rice. YAY CALORIES! After that, it was time for some awesome puri shots down the road! I need to upload those pictures when I get the chance, they all came out so well.

I had such a good time. It's nice when there's no drama and people can just get together and actually talk and have fun for over 7 hours ^_^ I definitely can't wait to get together again!

CRUEL WORLD SIDE

My cat is sick. Like, really sick. He hasn't eaten in almost a week, he's throwing up practically 4 times a day. We took him to the vet, and the dude said he was running a fever and gave us some antibiotics to give to him. Ever since then, he's just been laying around, not eating and puking constantly. I don't know what to do. He has FIV, so he doesn't have a strong immune system. Mom's already talking about having him put to sleep. God, I would just be depressed forever if we have to. I love my pets more than anything, and it seems like all my animals die prematurely. Our kitten had to be put to sleep cause she got leukemia. My dog Lady had to be put to sleep cause she was very old and sick. My other dog Mandy had to be put to sleep about a year and a half ago because she got cancer and her body shut down ONE WEEK later. I really, really hope Kitty shows some improvement soon. He's very weak, but I'm not giving up on him yet.

I went to a fashion exhibit today at Balboa Park with my sister, which was a lot of fun! I was supposed to meet someone else there, but she got sick, so here's our mini photoshoot with just the 2 of us ^___^

( Follow me to the park! )

Item no. 1: I got home from work today, and guess what was on TV... the Double Dragon movie!! Omigosh, that movie, is sooooo awesomely bad, it hurts, and yet feels so good at the same time. I've never played any of the Double Dragon games personally, but I imagine they were nothing like the movie. Now I feel the urge to watch other bad video game movies: Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, Silent Hill... oh, how they are my precious...

Item no. 2: I got my metamorphose dress in the mail yesterday!! Yay!! It fits me really well actually, though it is a tad shorter than I would have liked (about an inch), it's still so wonderful. 


( My Dress! )
Please ignore the mess that is my backyard... and my dumb dog's silly little head! I love Sophie, she's such a psycho mutt. ^__^

So I finally ordered my metamorphose dress today ^_______________^ I asked them if they had any more of the pink candy house high waist jsk left, and they had one available in the shop, so I ordered that and a pair of sailor over knee socks to wear with my dress I'm ordering next month for when I go to Sea World with my mom! Yay!! It should get here sometime next week I suppose, and I'm so excited for it!!

On another note, a Japanese used book/dvd/cd store opened up next to Mitsuwa, so I went there today with my sister and probably again tomorrow with Emily (which I get to hang out with for a while cause of spring break ^_^). I bought sooooooooo many cds, it's sick. It's a sick obsession I have trying to own every cd that's ever existed EVER. Here's the rundown of my shopping excursion: 
All this for the low low price of $50!! YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

This takes super skill!! Mario Paint was such a great game... oh, how I miss my SNES!
