Why are 95% of the outfits on whatiworetoday2 ugly as hell?

And they say lolitas are bitchy, those cunts would put us to shame!

Sorry, no pics guys. I haven't worn any lolita for about two weeks now because I've been feeling pretty... off, I guess. And I didn't want to post about why because I knew it'd just be one of those posts you read and think "God, this is such a downer! Scroll!"

But here I am, anyway.

Let's just cut a long story short and say that this year – especially post Japan – was a massive disappointment and I can't wait to be rid of it. I'm in desperate need of a holiday. And no, I don't feel like I'm on holiday right now because after all those sodding family commitments where we sit around pretending to enjoy singing carols and make sure our schizophrenic aunt doesn't attack someone, a friend from the UK arrived, which means my every moment is spent making sure he's having a good time. It's pathetic and selfish, but I can't handle guests. This is honestly the first moment I've had to myself since December the 22nd. I have to keep randomly looking up at the sky when we're hanging out because I keep feeling the urge to cry.

I swear to God I'm not being emo about this. If any of you are introverts I'm sure you'd feel the same. It's not like I hate being with people, I just find the experience very tiring and I need a lot of alone time to recharge myself. Looking after guests, being the main decision maker and doing active things every day somehow makes me feel shitty – and worse, I hate myself for it, so I just get more wound up. This stress has culminated in the return of an old gymnastics injury that feels a bit like tennis elbow but with added upper back pain and numbness in the right leg. Probably a trapped nerve. Woohoo.

If you're still reading this, thank you. Seriously, thanks! I just had to get some of this out.

So let's lighten things up in the usual way!
Should I buy this Wheels & Dollbaby dress using the Christmas money I was given? :D

Why it's mad rad:
It's leopard print and I'm obsessed with leopard print!
Check out the level of poofiness!
Sexy belt!
I have $200 to spend!

Why it's not that rad, actually:
It costs... $495!!! Gahh! I could almost buy Sugary Carnival for that...
It looks like it might be a little bit short, maybe? Too slutty on me?

The orange thieves came back today.

PLEASE NOTE: All orders from the last sale will be getting shipped early this coming week, due to the holiday and weather and postal issues we've been having.

Twas the night before Christmas...and Shelby posted a new daily lolita post...


http://community.livejournal.com/daily_lolita/2635255.html#cutid1

I went to this "pool party picnic" with my boyfriend's friends and wore my new Ichigo Millefeuille skirt. (I'm not happy with this coord to be honest, but I don't have anything better to post because I keep forgetting to take pictures. Does anyone have any ideas? Skirts are so much harder to coordinate!! And look way less flattering...)

Anyway, I didn't have a particularly great time. I just don't like my boyfriend's friends very much and I don't know what to do about it. They're all just boring jocks and "indie" posers. But they're always going to be his friends and I'm always going to be dragged along to their lame events. Ugh. Socialising.

Seeing RENT always...

Hmm.

It was an excellent production, of course, despite the lovely nitpicks I shared with cabeza_de_ollo about it. I didn't know Stephen Michael Shelton was in it; that was a nice surprise, though I really think he ought to have played Angel (I'm quite fond of him, he and Dan Chevalier are my two favourite local actors). And especially seeing it in that sort of a venue--the SNAP/Shelterbelt space is really something else, only twenty seats or so and the show is right there the whole time...It gives me sort of a sense of loneliness that I don't usually run into.

I mean, everyone who knows me knows I'm not a people person, I'd always rather be off by myself than in a crowd, and not because I can't make friends or socialize or anything, I'm just not generally a social animal.

Most people who know me also know I relate, intensely, to Mark. The above point and this one are closely interwoven. After I see RENT live (it doesn't happen after the movie, yet another reason live theatre is innately superior), I see how even Mark, who's so much like me with the detaching and the being dissimilar from but at the same time so similar to the people around him and the observing and all of that, how even he slips into place among his friends...I just really want someone to curl up with after that, to slip into their arms and feel safe and loved and all that lovely stuff.

Obviously I'd always like that but it hits especially hard after seeing RENT. So. Hmm.

I'm pissed. I'm busy working on a dress, trying to finish it before the post office closes. I hear the gate open, I figure, oh the mailman! so I go to get the mail, instead what do I see? Two bratty kids that should know way better in my yard snatching the oranges off of our tree. =_= So yes, I gave chase and yelled after them, cuz they're our damn oranges! The 2nd kid out of the yard just keeps smiling and laughing and making fun of me while I'm chasing her out. I'm sorry, you find it so amusing that I had to slam the door to give some kind of notice that I was watching you (because truth be told, I don't really want to get into a confrontation, especially over som oranges) and then even had to chase you after you're taking that something that belongs to us. I sincerely apologize that I was too polite to yell obsenities at you becase you're children and all that I could thing of yelling was "HEY HEY HEY!!" really I do.  ugh, society. *hits it with a fly swatter* My family has had this tree for years, its locked in our property, we take care of it. It's not there for people to rip the fruit from not only do they deplete our orange supply that we wait a year for, but they also damage the tree. Guess what, the oranges aren't even fully ripe yet! Now I'm all paranoid that they're back in the yard. So much so I heard noise in the front and jumped out of my chair, the desk got in the way of my knee in the process >.> ow.
