Cut love out

As per usual, I made plans today that never fell through. I'm not that concerned. I've had a very low-key social life in the first place. I'm also the girl of sorts that somewhat prefers to stay home, eat junk food, and watch TV on the couch. However, watching shows were girls get a good man, fall in love, and etc despite shortcomings makes me, well, grouchy.

You could say I'm bitter, because I wish I could get a guy to fall in love with me. Maybe it's the conflict with the opposite gender from my childhood that makes me think this way, but how I wish.

Recently, I've developed a bit of a crush on someone. He's cute, tall, dark-ish. He even has loose curly locks, something I really dig. We get along quite well, and we laugh a lot. Similar perverted sense of humor. Yes, I'm perverse. We also have our differences, like him being a weird healthy eater, and me being a sweet tooth gal who just LOVES food (Planning to go to Lindt tomorrow to buy a whole lot of chocolate). You think that a girl like me, fierce, outgoing (despite enjoying staying home), and oh so bold, wouldn't hesitate to ask him on a date. Yet, I can't.

The problem is two other friends of mine seem to have a crush on him. One is my best friend whom I absolutely love to bits, and has had many love problems of her own. She also keeps me in the dark about a lot of her problems, so I'm happy she told me this. The other is a somewhat innocent and naive girl that is quite odd, and always seems to fall into one-sided loves. I'd feel selfish, and guilty of betrayal to ask him out.

Would it be worth it?

On a different note, I could die for these Christian Louboutin mesh shoes.





Pair it with this cardigan, hand knit sock, cute day dress, my favourite vintage leather bomber motorcycle jacket, and wooohoo. Extremely chic.

Good night, loves.

I've been busy?

I'm officially loving the Whoniverse.

I think that's one reason I don't blog much. I tend to compulsively get sucked into one obsession or interest too quickly to talk about. I also happen to jump projects personal project all the time.



1. Since I last left you all, I've been trying to fill in some last minute things before school started. I'm proud to say, I've completed my first pair of hand-knit socks. Almost perfect. One seems more snug than the other. I'm guessing my tension flip-flopped in the year I made the socks. That, or one got stretched, worn and loved. I'm now starting my second (and possibly a coming third) pair. Wool sock are friggen warm. Most likely something be grateful for in the winter. The second pair was really supposed to be green cause greeeen is awesome, but then when I tried halfing the ball, I realized I didn't have a scale so I could make them equal.



I'll probably end up splurging some of my upcoming birthday money on sock yarn and find another project to use my single skein of green. Also, on a note to self, buy more knitting needles and some grey/white yarn. I'm thinking of investing in wood dpns since I'm liking the many pros of knitting socks, and I like the feel of wood. I justify needing the yarn to make super awesome Totoro mittens for a super awesome friend.

2. Sewing projects planned and started. I'm hoping to go into costume designing, so I'm trying to plan photoshoots, making/designing clothes, researching, inspiration, blah, blah, blah. My school is having its second fashion show and the theme for the designers is vintage. Apparently, I'm the first and hopefully last designer to know. Maybe my super seriousness, overall skill and knowledge will intimidate others. I know, it sound horrible, but the failure of others could be my sucess. Besides, I LOVE vintage and fashion is TOUGH. Dog eat dog, etc.

I'm also convincing my parents to let me take a corset making course. They're skeptical and concerned because it happens to be downtown and ends 9:30, when they want me to be in bed around 10-11. It was funny trying to explain what a corset was to them without having it sound weird and sexual. My mind is corrupted. Plus, on the subtext of vintage, I also went shopping for it with super awesome friends. I saw a super awesome summery dress which the two bought for me as a joint b-day present. Not a big fan of summer, but I hope it lasts long enough more me to wear it. I'll be needing a petticoat.

3. Other art project have also popped up. Drawings, paintings, half finished here and there. Shows happen as well. Television is such a distraction now that it's moving to the internet. Torchwood and Doctor Who are somewhat, you could say addictive. I hope season four happens fast. I miss Ianto and want Jack back.



4&5. Hair, awesome. Got it cut and style is rad and retro. I went to the beach. So much fun and sand. There was bees, cakes, bra, and wetness. Excuse the silly retro thing.

Ooooh la la!

Yeah, it's not knitting. The pic is kinda blurry, I look kinda sleepy, and my eczema's coming back, though it's soooo lovely. Retro 50's hair is schmexay.



I've been looking at vintage styles and all that retro 20's-60's sort of stuff for inspiration and stumbled across a hairstyling community. SO DAMN AWESOME! I LOVE VINTAGE!

Btw, harhar, check out my tuxedo shirt.

Do you find skinny or curvy girls more appealling?
