And without you, is how I disappear

I'm actually following my schedule for AP hw, which kinda scares me. I must be really bored.

Blythe dolls are my new obsession. They're just so cute!! And I think they're more affordable than Super Dollfies (BJD ones)... Hopefully? Oh I just checked! They're like... $100ish, some less. Yaaaay. I would want an Alice one, maybe one with blue hair, and one with red hair :) But if you have one, I guess you could just buy different outfits and wigs... But then I kinda feel like it's the same person, you know? I like to give personas to inanimate objects. I know.



That Blythe doll is so perfect for Alice!!



Up!

And a bunch of other stuff from Polyvore. I still make like three sets a day... http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?id=976144

But school starts in A WEEK and that's annoying! ><
At the same time, I'm actually looking forward to September though... Because.

1. My birthday!!
2. Grandma's birthday
3. The new Muse CD comes out!
4. I'm gonna start taking a photo of my maple tree everyday! Like the tree chronicles! In pictures!
5. Autumn is here!!!
6. MUSE CONCERT :D
7. I'll be receiving a letter from my friend!

This post is so random... So Random, like the show on Sonny With A Chance! See, I always thought it was Sunny... But Selena Gomez > Demi Lovato ;D

Our telephone wires are crossed

I think I will memorise your telephone number before long...

Rain outside, eating frozen pizzas, being completely bored out of my mind, listening to Supermassive Black Hole... what else is new?

There's like no time to do anything, but at least I'm glad there's some people who haven't even started their AP hw yet... Aha.

I finally watched The Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas! After what seems like forever! I liked The Corpse Bride better just because Victor Van Dort is such a clumsy guy that it's cute and funny. And I watched it first :) It's so funny how their body and limbs are so thin, it's like they're going to snap...

I'm actually following the schedule I made for myself! -shockkk- And yesterday I had the most amusing dream about my friends belly-dancing on Wii.



^"Invincible" cover. Can't imagine what it's like to actually meet them! Muse, I mean. I don't know what I'll do if I actually met Matthew Bellamy. Faint? Say hi-i-i-iiiiiii? Aha. Maybe I can get their autographs? Two copies, for suuure.

Une lettre pour toi

Dear Scum of the Earth,

I love you. You have a nice smile. You make my/me happy when we talk together. You are a bird flying free. You should go see a Muse concert. Someday I will go to Paris with you. You + me = awesomeness forever! If I saw you on the street I'd wave and say hi while watching my balloons float away!!! I want to hug you. I would build a Kurt Cobain Museum just for you. If I could sing you any song it would be anything you like (War On Drugs?). We should walk and talk under the stars.

Love, (or From)
MissWonderlander

(P.S. I really want to choreograph the dance from Helena in the rain! And I like calling you, although the government has some conspiracy against us. Come visit soon)!

Polyvore



I looove this photo! I took it right after it rained, and the sun was shining through my curtains. I think it's quite pretty (sorry if I sound egotistical) :p

In the meantime, I finished my AP chem hw (finally!!!). I'm still too obsessed with polyvore though... Aha.











See my obsession? -sigh- But collages are extremely fun to make, and I love collages.

22/8



^The U.K. way of dating. Lol. My grandparents actually date like that, but I would get confused if I'm not consistent... Like 6/5? Is that June 5th or May 6th? :p

It's raining outside and it's so beautiful...

The raindrops are so peaceful and the ground is wet outside. I can't wait until tomorrow morning when the air is really fresh. I love the smell after it rains!

Lunch + frozen yogurt + two strikes in bowling = a pretty awesome day :)

P.S. I'm almost FOR REAL this time, done with AP CHEM!!! Yeeees! I wanna watch Spirited Away tonight!

All for you

My first set on Polyvore. It's not super-good, but I like it. I love themed things! I'll probably be making an Alice one, maybe an England one, and whatever comes to mind (bright/cute things?).

I didn't realise that you could make the background show on pictures until the end... No wonder the pictures were getting all demented! So much more stuff I want to put on here, but alas, so little space >.< Maybe I'll make another one sometime...

The Corpse Bride + Nightmare Before Christmas

^Today's a Tim Burton movie day.

Polyvore.com is so addicting.
Just try it...
It's like a virtual collage. I only wish it were real!

Brave New World. 1984. A Clockwork Orange. Hello Cupcake! Lewis Carroll in Wonderland. Who Killed Kurt Cobain?
I went to the library yesterday for the first time since forever!
They didn't have Howl's Moving Castle, Kiterunner, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Annotated Alice, and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane! Lol. Maybe next time.

I finally got more Shrinky-Dink paper! Yayness. Another obsession.
Michael's is going to waste up all my money... too many cool things there.
My mum's birthday is tomorrow and I need to bake her an over-the-top cake!

Bubbles are an excellent idea for weddings!! :)

Whispers, "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly."

"Where you are the one, the one
That lies close to me
Whispers, "Hello,
I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love
With you suddenly
Now there's no place else
I could be, but
Here in your arms."

"Here In Your Arms" ~Hellogoodbye



"I wouldn't like you more if you were perfect."

Because you're wonderful already! And getting emails from him is the excitement of my day :) It feels like awhile since I've talked to him though. Time goes the opposite way of what you want!

P.S. Music-binging on Malice Mizer and Moi Dix Mois (Aaaah it's so obvious it means "My Ten Months!" And I was so confused over the name... lol. French failure!) is very interesting. I still can't believe Mana is a guy!!! Thanks for enlightening me on that :p

P.P.S. I wish I could walk on air and sit on rooftops. I'm watching Lolita and Sid & Nancy today. The first was very true to the book... so violent at the end though. The latter... uum... Punk rock is pretty cool isn't it? Sid Vicious has spikey hair and cool clothes.

3 more weeks of summer vacation

...And I have yet to do my AP psychology and AP U.S. summer assignments. -sigh- Whatever...
Watching movies is so much funner.

I watched "Howl's Moving Castle" today and it was brilliant! Howl is lovely with his blonde hair and Sophie reminds me of Alice in her blue dress. It reminds me of AiW and Wizard of Oz mixed together towards the end when Sophie opens the door and falls into the other world, and the moving castle is all destroyed... It was so funny when Howl yells, "SOPHIE! What have you done to my hair??" and then says there's no point to living if he's not beautiful... Dorian Gray! Aha. I love the scarecrow! -boing boing boing!- on his stick.



^Cosplayer of Howl with Cacifer on his head :)

Accidents can happen



^"Accidents Can Happen" ~Sixx A.M. (Girl With Golden Eyes is such a great song...)

When I'm out doing stuff, I never write here...

The past few days have actually been exciting! What a shock, aha... Uum. Rainbow cake in a jar was a success, although the French macaroon cookies were a failure. The cream was great though... Attempt No.2 starts tomorrow! I'm not giving up... I made about a dozen bracelets at a sleepover with my friends yesterday, and the coolest one had solar-power changing beads! Like it turns from clear to blue, orange, yellow, etc. in the sunlight! I absolutely adore colour-changing stuff. Maybe I'll buy out the Del Sol store one day :p

But I lost my two special-est friendship bracelets and that makes me sad. I should've taken a picture! They're prettyful. My left wrist feels oddly empty now... But I found the piano sheet music to the Happy Unbirthday Song from Alice in Wonderland!! Along with that song called "Memory" which I always hum but don't know the title to (it's actually from CATS the musicale.... so weird right??)! And we went to the mall and finally got denim shorts. Along with a tie-dye dress and fringe boots! :) Yay! Oooh and two letters from my friends! On pretty blue stationery paper! The bracelet thing is tragic though :/

I had such a wonderful dream last night :3

Psychedelia + Baking Experiments

Ahaaaa... Tis like an optical illusion in an album cover! It seems to mooove and makes me dizzy. Oooh it's so swiirlyyy.

"Merriweather Post Pavilion" ~Animal Collective



I'm going to attempt making rainbow cakes in glass jars... Hope my oven doesn't explode. Or maybe I'll just stick to French macaroons :) But supposedly they take years to perfect and they're really difficult to make. Whaaatever. I have to try!!



^Yuuuuum!

Epic Meteor Shower Wishes





...Yeah that didn't come true 'cause THERE WAS NO METEOR SHOWER. At least not where I was... Like I stayed up and looked out the window like every second and I couldn't see anything but the dark night sky... No coolness meteors :(

Paris Love



"One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise."

"Paris" ~Friendly Fires



"I say Hi to the baker, I say Hi
I meet my friends at the corner of the street
And we talk and we laugh like every morning
On Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday too
I'll always remember you."

"On Monday" ~Superbus (French band!)



I just found some pretty photos of Paris and felt like posting them here... It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful the Eiffel Tower looks! If I ever go, I'd probably take endless pictures... I'd like to sit (can you?) on the top of the Eiffel Tower or go to a café! With you. I heard there's an elevator in there... (how else can elderly people get up there?)

"Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you."

"Close To You" ~The Carpenters (music-binge! It's like driving in the car with my dad... he loves them!)

Top of the world!



Wow! Chatting with him totally made my day!! I'm really happy to hear from them! :D Hypeeeer~! Glad to know they're not "dead." It's funny when we think people are non-existent just 'cause they don't go online... but it's true! But you could just call them.

I might actually have to do a bunch of chemistry stuff today... there's no way I can remember the entire periodic table AND all the polyatomic ions!! Too much stress and confusion...

Aaaand... -drumroll please?- I'm going to a Muse concert with my bff! Yaaaaaayness!! I can't believe they're coming here, it feels like I have to go or it's now or never!! Like what if they don't make another album and never tour again? I'm happy that my birthday is coming :)



I'll float with millions of balloons to Taiwan and then to the top of the Eiffel Tower with you. You gotta learn French though :p Tu me manques...

Monday, August 10, 2009

Hey you're alive!

Yay!!! But the time difference still applies...?

Looking forward to melting crayons in the oven and making rainbow crayon cupcakes. Sorry they're not edible!

The three A's

Alice. Amy. Aimme.

Youth group consisted of talking and walking, eating ice cream with sprinkles (no root beer float for me!), giggling manically, giving out friendship bracelets, and eating way too many cherries... A whole new change of people for praise team and a confirmed sleepover with little friends next Saturday. To make jewellery for Alice's Wonderland Shoppe!

The rainbow and decorations made out of tissue paper were still up on the wall, along with the caricatures of my friends. Why? I thought people would've taken it down now... I mean the goodbye party is over and they are gone! So... it's like, shouldn't the decor be too...? But yeah. It'll be funny if it's still here when they come back! :p



Aren't these stamps adorable?

There's no one like you in the universe

Re-reading New Moon and discovering that the part when Edward leaves Bella is like someone leaving for two years... aha. I'm not depressive though!



Re-obsession is defined as watching countless Muse videos because you're going on a Muse binge.



Re-boredom causes you to try out random combinations of whatever you can find in your kitchen to make popsicles, as well as cutting and pasting magazine pics to make a collage that looks good.



COOLEST THING EVER: Alice in Wonderland combined with underwater photography!!!!!!! This is too amazing!! Best underwater photographer ever, in my opinion... So I heard I might be getting an underwater camera (finally!) for my birthday!!!! Even if it's disposable, that's okay!



Clicky!

Bunny popsicles > regular

Talked to a friend who just came back from China yesterday!! So nice to talk to her again after half the summer has already gone by.

She says China was like a vacation world and here is like an obligatory world... so true! I wish the kids in China could have lovely summers without all those mandatory classes and homework. I mean, it is summer vacation! For goodness' sake!

Popsicles are my new obsession. Yogurt/fruit pops are quite good, and so are fudge pops. I was a little scared to make the fudge ones but they actually turned out pretty well. Except I can't get them out of the popsicle molds... :p The ones with bunny ears on top are so much better. Not to mention cuter!

I write here when I'm bored... so that must be like everyday. Something exciting needs to happen...

You Electrify My Life

Listening to Black Holes & Revelations...

I went on a music-binge! (and miracously finished half of my AP English assignment!)

1. "Vanished" and "Untrust Us" ~Crystal Castles
2. "Forever Lost" ~The Magic Numbers
3. "Unintended" ~Muse
4. "When The Night Feels My Song" ~Bedouin Soundclash
5. "Feel The Love" ~Cut Copy (In Ghost Colours... creative album name?)
6. "Run Run" ~Those Dancing Days
7. "Fuzzy Blue Lights" ~Owl City
8. "Ghosts" ~Laura Marling (she's like... a younger version of Kate Nash! Watch out for a parody of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody around 0:48... Ghosts)

Yay! All pretty brilliant and different!

I heard "Alice Practice" by Crystal Castles awhile back and thought it was awful, but oddly, I listened to it again today and I was sad the song was over... (But it's still pretty mediocre-noise-screech-electronica-ish) Then they just got cooler when I discovered their lead singer's name was Alice Glass.



Oh, I discovered you could also spell "Alice" like "Aliss"...

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Music is your best friend when you're alone

I listened to the entire "The Black Parade" album today, just for you. And "Downward Spiral", although I must say I still can't really get used to it that much...

Owl City is great! It's like... a blur of beeps and catchy intros, and then very Death-Cab-For-Cutie-esque.

So I went on Deviantart for the first time in about a year today... And uploaded about 20 deviations. It's kinda funny how I don't submit anything for a year and then when I do, it's so much. It's called procrastination x) Mainly just collages and a few photos from a spring photo shoot -----> Clicky!



Pie and cake in jars...!! Brilliant idea! Except my mum won't let me do it 'cause she doesn't believe glass jars can withstand the oven heat :(

Dreaming of the Osaka sun

So I woke up at 6 a.m. to run with my dad 'cause I can't go to cross-country practise... How lovely. I got really tired while running the last circle, but I survived!

The morning air is quite nice and fresh, kinda like the way it is after it rains. I was looking up at the sky and thought the sun looked excatly like the red circle on the Japanese flag (tried my best to find a photo... I wish I took a picture!).

So I listened to the new Muse single, Uprising today... Uuum. Hmmmm. It's different, not super-catchy, but decent? I hope the rest of the album is better. United States of Eurasia? Exogenesis? MK ULTRA? Very Muse-sounding indeed... Black Holes and Revelations is my favourite though! EDIT: United States of Eurasia is nice... although a bit chant-ish. The intro is pretty. Whooooa... this part sounds so familiar... Wait. Tis Matt Bellamy playing "Nocturne in E-Flat Major" (Op. 9, No. 2, in case you're wondering! I'm a piano geek... aha) by Chopin!! Classical love <3 But it's renamed as "Collateral Damage", the latter part of United States of Eurasia... Hmm. Interesting.

Reading essays about Hitler's mustache is funny (and this is for AP English...). The next essay is about a lesbian couple, I think...

Au revoir~



So I finished a story I've been procrasinating on for like... two years! It's actually quite long, exactly 40 pages on Microsoft Word... :o Never thought I could write so much. It was actually for a Muse website, like a band fanfic? I started it when I was first getting into Muse and being all obsessed... Aha. It's about Matthew Bellamy becoming anorexic. Yeeah... maybe I'll put it up sometime, but it's quite embarrassing... I'm really happy I finished it though! Chapter 11, 12, and Epilogue all done today :D

I ended up calling my friends one last time before they left. Lucky timing, just a hour or so before their departure... It was so funny how they seemed to be a chorus! Saying their goodbyes one after another and in unison! Our goodbyes really took forever... And horray, I did hug him yesterday at Church! Very lovely indeed :) Hopefully it's the first of many to come...! You guys are probably at the airport now though. Maybe I'll borrow my friend's skateboard and skate there... Lol. Kidding! I'd fail majorly x) I wish though.

Wasting my time away here -----> Clicky! and becoming obsessed with Alice in Wonderland even more than ever. I finally got an apple necklace though! -happiness-

Haven't started on my AP summer assignments yet... but at least I accomplished something today! And reading someone's blog makes me smile! Here's Kurt for you -----> Clicky!

Deux ans temps.



I love doll photos. Esp. of super dollfies/ball-jointed dolls... I don't care if people think they're creepy, I think they are very human-like and beautiful.

The day has come


I was staring at the counter last night and it was inching towards zero... It's scaring me. Now it's stopped... Which means it's time for goodbye.


0 days until Taiwan
(0 hours : 00 minutes : 00 seconds)

I just can't believe they're really leaving...!! :( I really want to call them to talk to them one last time, but I don't really know what to say... Have a good flight? I'll miss you? I hope your boarding school isn't too strict? Get online? Eeeh.

I wish I could go to the airport! (and I don't really like airports) Well... I like it when you're done shipping all your luggage and you're just wondering around and looking at people and little shops... I love the airport in Tokyo, with cute Hello Kitty things and these little voodoo dolls... And sushi! And tis super-clean... Yeah.

Cross-country practise started today, but I can't go 'cause I don't have a ride... Oh well... Perhaps tomorrow? Getting phone calls from my friend everyday is a bit comforting :)

Obsessing over doll photography again...... Bored emptiness procrasination...

Presents and amaziness!!

I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!!!!!!

A burnout Alice in Wonderland t-shirt, a tiny rock time capsule tied with ribbon, two friendship bracelets, a letter, a Sharpie picture, colour-changing nail polish (blue, in fact!), and a cross that I didn't even realise was there until now... All wrapped in a colour-changing BAG. How cool is that??

Thank you so much, my amazing friend...



I'm like, way too hyper to sleep right now... So very very happy! Merci beaucoup... What a night filled with funniness (PSAT or SAT? Lol), awesome people, and flashing cameras... This must be what it feels like to be a celebrity, getting your picture taken over and over again...!!

High/Low?

Although tis a "Goodbye Party", tomorrow is the real goodbye... Today is the high, tomorrow is the low? >< I can't imagine going to Church next week and not seeing them...

Tomorrow is an Alice day.
