| Shoe fail. |
[24 Nov 2009|07:09pm] |
I AM OFFICIALLY PISSED.
At this point, other than one more dress with Qcute....I don't think I'm going to bother dealing with Chinese sellers anymore.
I just received two sets of shoes. They are SO nicely made. Really good quality compared to stuff that Blaek Saint put out, for example. These are the same ones that pancakebear sells, only through a different provider.
But. THEY ARE THE WRONG COLORS. I was supposed to get lavender and light blue.
I'm selling them....
So if anyone wants size 43 shoes (US 10.5-11)... I'm selling them for $45.
I was really hoping for some nice sweet lolita shoes.......

| salesss againssss |
[24 Nov 2009|04:32pm] |
I went through my closet again and am getting rid of stuff that doesn't fit me or I just don't like as much....
Sooooo priced to sell, $79 and under....JSKs GALORE (and a cutsew). Brand and offbrand (by offbrand I mean Dear Celine, Rose Melody, H&M and Bodyline)
Here!!! community.livejournal.com/egl_comm_sales/8842472.html#cutid1
Yep. Funds will go to affording Sakura.
The dolls shipped, btw! They are currently in customs.... I may be selling those (or one) as well to afford Sakura, and hell, other girls too from the Rosette dolls! I really want the Spring Term Camellia.
Sigh. but I have the mochimachine and crescent to pay for before I put money down for the doll. Not too bad....but still...

| Dir en Grey :D |
[24 Nov 2009|01:01am] |
On a lighter note.
Dir en Grey was last week. IT WAS EPIC.
Goodies that were bought (thank you Michael!!)....aaaaaand they were throwing out guitar pics.....aaaaaaaand I picked up the one that Die threw............
OK the crown wasn't bought, it was worn! And the poster was signed :D To be added with my signed M.O.V.E. poster. I'm a girl of signed posters, that's for sure {thoughts float to the signed Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables and The Ring Cycle poster from the lyric...} The CD is Michael's. The red thing- magic magic pick. Gotta take a closer picture of it. It's epic.
And what I wore.....

I keep losing the will the write. I've been out of sorts as of late, and haven't posted all the opportunities I had to share some good news. No idea why, just out of it.
The super short version.
I'm taking Abnormal Psychology at Depaul this winter. Mondays and Wednesdays I will be at LP on campus, Tuesdays and Thursdays I'll be at work.
I have yet to figure out if I have the minimum required art courses.
I have yet to find a human services/resources related job.
Applying to a few places to see if I can get seasonal work. Pro: Money. Con: inability to enjoy life.
My dolls are supposedly shipped. I have the tracking number, but no data has shown up yet.
I had my phone stolen on Friday while walking to the car a block from the opera house. Supposedly the new one came today but I have absolutely no idea how to program it, and no desire to try to figure it out this evening.
My place is an absolute pigsty. Disheartening that I have to attempt to clean it up myself. A little hard when I'm just out of it. And don't really care about pigsty (but what is EXPECTED of me is to have it clean, which is just f****n annoying)
What I owe my shopping service in JP is ending up being more than I expected.
There's no way I can afford to pay off the bear plush at crescent, and the doll. So I doubt I'll ever really be able to get the doll.
I bought clothes for the doll that I will probably never get.
I just keep gaining weight despite watching what I eat and exercise.
I've been dizzy at work all day, so I've gotten very little done.
I get this very bad feeling I won't get accepted for grad school. Then what. Then what do I do. Nothing is planned as a back up. And I don't want to hear it from my family, about how much I suck. Because that's all I've been feeling as of late.
Applying for jobs is never clean and efficient. And it has put me in a horrible mood. Because I'm realizing that I highly doubt anything is going to go for me in the future.
/end whining.
This is what happens when I stop taking zoloft, my place is a mess, and I feel like I have a bit too much on my shoulders. I think I'm just going to drop off the face of the earth if I don't get accepted into grad school. Because I do NOT want to deal with what I know I'll have to deal with coming from my mother.

| Work is good |
[16 Nov 2009|03:28pm] |
This was enough to say...yes...I will be around for as long as I can be folk... (especially since it's so bloody hard to train a new kid because there's so much to know/remember/be aware of/whatnot)
The guy who trained me and just returned from Africa got me this!

| Plush night! |
[16 Nov 2009|11:11am] |
Last night was an epic plush night.
Not ONLY am I getting a unicorn plush from Michael..........I am getting TWO MORE plushies/purses (from myself)........
No replica for me- I got the original!!!!!!!! yayzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
and {drumroll}
The last bear! The large version! (or at least they said 50cm...so it better be the large version grrrr)
I complete ->  !!!!!
I thought that when I finally got the Moitie Cathedral OP I would feel complete, but obtaining the three bears definitely does it.
Yeah I'm a dork.

| Cheery Tuesday |
[10 Nov 2009|03:59pm] |
Happy Tuesday!
I've gotten somewhere with the winter Abnormal Psychology course. I've currently received permission by the instructor to attend the class Mon and Wed 11:20-12:50! Now I'm awaiting on instructions on how to finish registering for the course. Hurrahs!
Tomorrow is a general catch up day. I need to:
1) Ship items out
2) Clean up a little
3) Start looking for something in the human services
4) Perchance look for a paid job by signing up in various places
5) and most importantly: MAKE SURE I MEET THE ART REQUIREMENT for the Art Therapy program. If I don't, I'm up a shit's creek without a paddle and will be hastily signing up for classes/selling lolita to afford it.
Which would blow because I'm currently working on losing the weight. Swimming ftw! I'm working on beating my exercise-induced-asthma crap to a pulp.
Goal? Size 8. I'm currently a size 12. Why? Because I'm going to take the promise my mum made to heart :D I will share when I'm there..... (so mom, remember that ^_^)
My dollie's payment was confirmed! I am now 1/3 of the way to owning her!!
I'm still selling stuff to help afford her. I reduced goods so now they are at $100 shipped practically.
Please check it out- community.livejournal.com/egl_comm_sales/8660873.html
I also posted to daily lolita- community.livejournal.com/daily_lolita/2460310.html#cutid1
with my pirate outfit and what I wore this weekend. I wish I would take more pictures- outfit yesterday was quiet but epic!
My cat was LITERALLY snuggling up to my face while Michael was taking the pictures for the outfit. Check out da sweet boots ^_^

Graduate Portfolio day at SAIC gave me some insight how to integrate my portfolio with my writing piece. I have a bit of work to put it all together, but at least I have a solid idea of how I'm going to do it.
I'm also thinking to apply to other schools as well. I cannot bank on just one for this. There are three including SAIC in Illinois. One probably won't work out for me, SAIC hopefully will, the other one is in Edwardsville. Which is by friggin St Louis. There' s another school in Milwaukee, which isn't too bad. There's a school in Detroit. There are MA in Art Therapy programs in the middle of nowhere SE of Champaign in IN and at University of Wisconsin in Superior, MI. That's basically it out of the midwest....
Sending my transcript over to DePaul so I could do Abnormal Psychology. I finally got some contact from them that wasn't them tossing me back and forth from one individual to the next without giving me any idea of what I had to do next. So hopefully if they accept eTranscripts, I will get confirmation of some sort within 3 days probably. If not, then within 2 weeks.
I'm pretty excietd about JMAC tonight. We are watching some Midory Days which is unbelievably cute. And FINALLY we are finishing My Boss My Hero. Next week I don't plan to go to JMAC, but plan to go to the Dir en Grey concert at the Metro. Still need to get tickets. Pretty excited about that!
I received my Dear Celine tartan dress, which I am selling because I don't like as much as I thought I would
Here is where I'm wearing it- community.livejournal.com/daily_lolita/2434391.html#cutid1
Here is where I'm selilng it- community.livejournal.com/egl_comm_sales/8606659.html
I also received the Rose Melody coat. But they totally didn't take into account garment size vs body size in the bust and shoulders, so it's too small. Currently as it stands, I'll be sending it back and they will make it larger. I doubt I'll have it for my birthday. They want me to send it back to China via airmail, but I want it much faster than that, so I'm going to end up spending a lot more for this coat (+$50....) since I will not send it airmail. And they probably won't even be able to make it larger- there is no guarantee that they can get the fabric from the supplier, since technically the coat is sold out. It's ABSOLUTELY adorable though. If only it fit me. So hopefully....this will get fixed. Qcute is really trying to fix Rose Melody's mistake and are being extremely cooperative. Here's hoping!
Finally, I.....broke down and got another doll :D This time it's a Rosette doll from Soom (you'd think I wouldn't give them anymore money because of the stunts they are pulling with my tinies, but no....when they answered that the tinies will be shipped the 11th, I gave in....those Rosette dolls are to die for) I'm currently paying in layaway and awaiting confirmation of my first payment. Slowly saving up money for the next payment.
( Cut for a picture and a little text about Sakura, my new doll. )
That reminds me- I figured out why I like lolita so much. I don't wear it for the "supposed attention getting" that my family pushes on me. I wear it for the people who notice it and think "finally something different and original." I enjoy seeing that realization on people's faces. They need not say a word. Just a look from them that somehow I've brightened their day through my choice of fashion makes me love lolita even more.
The fashion is also a hellishly useful weed out tool. If someone doesn't take you seriously because of your clothes, you know not to associate with them, as they are not worth your time. If someone can take you as you are, fashion sense and all, then they truly can become your friends. Forget flattery. Forget the compliments. Acceptance is all that is necessary.
Or at least so I think.
I like it when someone can take you seriously because you have enough guts to show on the outside who you are as a person.
There are no masks.

I went home to take pics for my porfolio. Took pics of my dolls too for fun.

Ugh. I failed to finish the blouse. I could have, and was doing a decent job. Just had a better alternative, so went with that
I failed at making detachable wrist cuffs from cotton. Too wide, strip of fabric too short.
I failed a while ago to do the waist on the skirt. What should have been 30" ended up being somewhere around 32". Also I apparently sew too close to the edge- the fabric has loosened in sections. I also can't sew straight.
I definitely do not have a knack for sewing, and seriously feel like I should quit while I'm ahead. Or damn, some classes that I will ACTUALLY attend would be great...at vogue or SAIC or something...
Depaul hasn't gotten back to me after application was submitted. They were supposed to within 7 days. It's been over 7.
Things fall. Apartment's a mess. Forgot to take meds, in pain. Tired. Not in any mood for opera, or anything.

| New dress and newly set up room! |
[27 Oct 2009|01:07am] |
Oh usps...you fail. Luckily you don't fail too much because I still got my dress. It read all weekend that it had been "missent". More and more they are failing...
But here is the beauty. And it fits like a dream. Michael was pretty ecstatic about it, and I am too :D It looks great on me.
Aaaaand I finally took pictures of the newly done room. Moved furniture, built new furniture. And it's a lot more spacious.
( Pics under the cut )
