Comment and tell me a bit about yourself to be added. 
 

Last exam tomorrow morning, Sociology, a measly two hours :DD
Well, I am a little bit worried, considering that all of today's studying was done while listening to the sound of my dad and brother arguing in the next room.
But I can't wait until it's over! Nooooooooo more school!

Well, until uni, but that's a whole year away.

Actually, all this Sociology study has been very reassuring. See, no matter what my dad thinks, social reproduction says it's very unlikely I'll end up in a one-bedroom apartment in Chigwell.

 Oh God, I just remembered how much like a drug shopping is.  I have a new painting, and a new pair of shoes, ordered a jacket, and I bought myself some food over the past week.  The thinking really is that I just need to spend a little bit, and then I'll be good for a while.  But it just adds up, and I'm staring at my Paypal page wondering whether to transfer more money from my bank account.  I don't know why it's so easy for me to avoid online shopping, but not easy to avoid irl desires.  The fact that it's more expensive doesn't disturb me, I think that I like being able to take it home right away and not fussing over shipping/currency exchange rates.  Maybe it's because I've been saving, so I look at my bank account and go "That's not right!"

Oh yeah, and my dad says he's going to get a Kindle.  Any thoughts?

My tastes in fashion have become a lot more... normal, lately. Or maybe I just haven't felt like dressing up. I don't know. All I know is that my new dream shoes are Alexander McQueen.

Yeah, the gold women looks a tad cheap (and they are, apparently they only cost £370 when they were available, which is pretty good all things considered) but damn they're gorgeous.

It's just weird because I've consciously been working towards classic lolita, but I've found myself swooning over Emily Temple Cute, Jane Marple, and even Betsey Johnson.  And while I still adore all the OTT frilliness of lolita, when I go out I just feel like wearing jeans and T-shirt, or a nice skirt.  Never a petticoat.  These days I only wear my knee-high socks with knee-high boots, and I push them down a bit so you can't see them.  My brand clothes are becoming dreadfully neglected.  Which reminds me, I need to get rid of my OPs because I never wear them and it makes me sad to see them hanging, neglected in my wardrobe.  

ETA: woah, tangent here!

Just to clarify for those reading this who don't know, my parents are divorced.  I spend alternating weeks at each parent's house.  I've decided that after exams are finished, which is less than two weeks away, I'm going to choose the one place to stay at.  They tell me I'll still have a room wherever I go, but this back-and-forth thing is getting to be ridiculous.  So anyway, all this means major inventory, deciding what to chuck and what to keep and where to put them.  Hopefully it will get me into gear again.  I'm not looking to reinvent myself, or find myself, or any of that crap.  I just want to make sure I have everything I need for the future: nothing more, nothing less.

 Oh my God I added up all the costs of these end of year celebrations.  Dress + shoes + tickets + presents + leavers' top + water pistols + etc.  My jaw's still on the floor somewhere.  Problem is... studying makes me want to buy stuff.

John Safran's Race Relations is actually pretty good viewing.  Although... it kind of makes me want to make out with somebody in Anne Frank's attic.

Still, if you're going to get ideas from the show, that's probably the one you'd want to get, as opposed to the stealing-women's-underwear thing, or the crucifixion thing.

Okay, I know that I've been a little bit invisible on the internet over the past couple of weeks. The truth is, I'm really only posting because I have to study for exams now, and I found this in our pantry:
( Hilarious Engrish, and more! )

( My formal dress is here! )

Just like the sneak preview, but longer X3

The hunt for the perfect formal dress is ON! I decided not to get the one I posted last time because it was just too expensive.


Looking at all these black dresses is turning me gothic you guyzzzz XD (sadly, I will not be getting this one either. A 60cm waist? wtf?)

I have 19 minutes left until I begin the 40 Hour Famine.  I'm starting it three hours before the official start time to fit in with work.  I'm kinda scared my hunger's going to affect my school work, but we'll see how that goes.  At least I get to go to school, right?  If you can read this, you're way luckier than you might think.

My true response to this question probably can not be recorded without the use of obscenities.  So I'll focus instead on the tautology of "MLB baseball".

Just as I thought I was getting sick of LJ drama, I'm suddenly very amused by the comments on seannau's journal.

Or at least, y'know, something vaguely like them. I'm happy with them as a first attempt, especially because it's something I've been putting off for MONTHS. And a couple in there are probably better than Chris' ones on Masterchef. Sometime this week I'll make a chocolate ganache, which should make them at least more edible.

I FINALLY got an email from AFS re: the Japan scholarship

( and... )

 This is probably the first time since Grade 2 that I've seriously considered writing as a career, and the closest I've ever come to knowing what I want to do for the rest of my life.

Sometimes I really dislike living so far away in the wrong hemisphere.  Totally gonna miss Elisabeth's European tour and RENT with Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal (LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE) in the American tour. grah.  There is too much beautiful stuff in this world :)

Okay, I have just discovered that I haven't backed up my laptop since Angelic Pretty's Dot Chiffon line, which is around January 2008.  I thought it might've been worse, so I'm not completely annoyed with myself, but I've got a lot to do.  If you guys know of any good photobuckets, etc. aside from the big egl flickr, can you please link me to them?  At least I know where I got all my music from, but updating my stock photo collection is not going to be fun...

Look at it!!! Cool, huh?
