Holy Week Day 1, pt. 1: Putting things into your own hands when others are doing their own...

So I went from a social fast, to an actual fast. LOL. Now only one meal a day, plus I'm going to start forcing myself only 8 hours of leisure activity (Facebook, pretty much every site except for my online school stuff, video games, etc.) so I can concentrate on prayer, bible study, and the tons of homework that I haven't done yet e_e

I pretty much decided this after talking an awful lot about Christians basically not doing what they're supposed to, being hypocritical, etc. First with my friend from the loli comm, who runs her blog Black Witch on AfroPunk. (Ironic that I can touch and agree with a pagan witch more than I could most of the youth in my church). Then I found out that Janelle Monae (one of my current main inspirations) was spirit filled, and that made her an inspiration to me on a completely different and higher level.

Then, the afternoon service I went to really spoke to me. It was honoring the First Lady of this other church, and Mother Jones (first lady of my home church) spoke about being an vessel of honor. And when that service ended, another pastor friend of mine came to me, at first with his usual joyful and silly attitude, suddenly went serious and asked me how I was doing, and he gave me words of encouragement as well. And after that, I was speaking to my friend on the way home about the church youth, and he was telling me things that were going on that really irritated me. I went off and after a moment or so I told him that I was going to fast this week, push myself to finish what I need to finish with school, and tarry to get the holy ghost, I'm praying for by Easter.

Prepare for ranting below.

Taobaospree + Dream of Lolita + An*tai*na purchase




So these came in about a week or so ago. Took a minute to post them because I was filming me opening it and stuff for Tanya's thesis. (it -could've arrived that day, but DHL was retarded) That and I was just being completely lazy.


I only ordered things from Taobao once before by myself, and that was through Mashimaro Girl, before they went under and off the map. I was a little bit skeptical with Taobaospree since the thing with MG, but I decided to try it out anyways since there was so much good feedback with it on EGL Livejournal.

Random durping

So I've been idling around in my house for the past 2 weeks because I'm trying to get all my stuff together for Easter. It really sucks when no one is trying to hire at the moment.. soon I'll be applying for some again though, maybe within the next two weeks. *sigh*

As sad and boring as it sounds, I've been looking at the sun more and more often lately, watching where it lands when it sets in the evening. This is my retarded way or knowing when summer is almost here-- a month ago or so it would be dark by 5pm, but now it's dark by 7ish... and once it gets to the first day of summer, it'll set at 8pmish and I'll be ready. I'll be ready E___________E

Of course with all this free time, you'd think I would get to finishing my homework or making the post for Sakura Matsuri. WRONG. I am so lazy, omg I have so much homework building up... I've always had a problem concentrating on it, but I'm going to crack down on it this weekend so I won't be setting myself back. In the meantime I re-found my h.Naoto shirt above, derp


Anyways, enough of that, some pics from the past while~

My loli friend Tanya and her girlfriend came over to my house one day to film for her thesis (film documentary on lolita culture), and she came over to my house to interview me and look at my things and whatnot. I only have maybe 3 actual lolita magazines, so I whipped out my Ageha collection to make that huge difference LOL






It's not even all of my issues... found 2 other ones missing somewhere. And then that was before I bought Apr 2011 issue. I measured the stack, it's more than a foot long @___@ can't wait to get all the old issues like I wanted to LOL. I wonder if it'll ever be as tall as me... or even half my height, that'd be pretty badass


These are random pictures of myself, playing around bored and dressing up.


I was playing around with eyeshadow, tried to copy this lolgothic makeup thing. Of course it didn't come together since I only used different purple+black eyeshadows and nothing much else, nothing to the eyebrows or anything. At first I thought I looked like some gawf wench that got lost on the way to a Rennfaire, but then Chris and Nancy said that I looked like a black, genderbent Jareth. And now I cannot unsee LOL









blah, was gonna continue on this post but then I remembered that I was gonna make a review on my taobao package that had came in. yosh
