Cardigan weather

I finally bought a cardigan!!

It's like... ivory-based with blueish and purple streaks in it?







[My apologies for the bad lighting! It makes the colour look weird...]
It's much prettier in person.

"Life is my favourite movie. It could be scary or funny." ~my friend's Facebook

Low of Solipsism

L.

Check out his music, it's nice...
I hope they make it as a band one day!
They should put more original songs on there.

The "happy birthday" at the end of the "You Belong With Me" cover is so sweet.
I just realised who the video was dedicated to......

******************************************************

Band names:

-J'Aimme [wordplay on "J'aime" with my name... kinda egotistical if we choose this as our band name though... aha]

-Crystalline

I like both. Crystalline is nice, it reminds me of ice and chemicals and glitz =]

And then there's HA-PAH! which includes the initials of everyone in the band, although it left out one member [the D!]... And we'd probably add more and more people, so this wouldn't work out...

Take a vote?
:)

Immanence

Markus is a cool name.
Markus Zusak.




Nothing to write, so I'm just posting all my recent Polyvore sets here...

I'm so bored that I took a practise SAT today...
I've been putting it off for too long! >.<
I think I'm going to re-watch Alice in Wonderland tonight.

Did you know you can substitute eggs with mashed bananas?!
I wanted to make sugar cookies but realised we didn't have any eggs, so I used bananas instead!
They actually taste really nice.
Sugar cookies with cranberries and peppermint bark on a snowy evening.
Snow is so beautiful!!

Light Lights Up Light

Yay, I can post again!
For some reason, it kept saying "Bad request" a few days ago and I couldn't log in! >.<









Drawings & things



















Cute handwriting by my friend and random pages out of my assignment book...

I was bored x]

The final volume of Deathnote...!!
I'm anxious.

And why do I write Deathnote as if it's one word...? Well, I can't stop now.
A teacher workday filled with wasting time!



Moving into making SUPER-petite sets. Is your eyesight good enough see them?

Take yourself to higher places



"Tonight my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I've tried but nothing is working
I won't stop, I won't say I've had enough

Tonight I start the fire
Tonight I break away

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

At night I feel like a vampire
It's not right but I just can't give it up
I'll try to get myself higher
Let's go we're going to light it up

Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

Higher places
To higher places
Higher places
Take yourself to higher places."

Song lyrics written on my assignment book by my friend with THE cutest handwriting ever.

"You're a falling star, you're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true.
'cause you can see it when I look at you.

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday."

~Michael Bublé

Do you hate it when you go over to someone's house and do absolutely

They've got a Cheshire Cat grin

"Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As your bad mood disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back in focus again

The walls abandon shape
They've got a Cheshire Cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before you're comatose

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and round
You never really got me there
I just pretended that I had
Words are blunt instruments
Words are a sawed-off shotgun

Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
Just as you take the mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance

Jigsaw falling into place
There is nothing to explain
You eye each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once
Not just twice
Wish away the nightmare
Wish away the nightmare
You've got it on you, can feel it on your back
It on you, can feel it on your back
Jigsaw falling into place ."

It's funny how much more sense Radiohead songs become once you find out the lyrics. My friend made me a Radiohead mix and I listened to it straight through. I really like "Let Down" and "Jigsaw Falling Into Place." It's kinda hard to like them though... some songs I think are brilliant while others are just eeh... It takes awhile. I like their Alice in Wonderland references though! :)

HELP NEEDED!

HELP NEEDED:

My friend [yeah, the same one who got me addicted to Deathnote] wants me to cosplay as Misa...
can anyone help me find a blonde wig that would be suitable for her?

For reference...







[I can't really find any reeeally ideal pictures of her... those are okay though]

Preferably shoulder-length-ish? I don't understand why some wigs are so long, like waist-length... Misa's hair isn't that long at all!

Thank you :)

P.S. If you can, just post a comment with the link in it.



OHMYGOSH. Are they the cutest Deathnote cosplayers or what?
Say hi to the chibi children...! :3

Musica!



So I was talking with my friends at my bus stop about how I wanted to make a band called Hyper Overdose, and now they're taking it seriously...
It might actually become a reality...!!
There's this Battle of the Bands thing at school, and just amazingly, a band dropped out at the last minute.
My friend wants me to do something, but really, we don't even know our band name [see, people don't want to call it Hyper Overdose...]! It would be funny if we went, made a mess, and won! Kinda like Muse's success story [it all started with them winning a battle of the bands thing... supposedly they all wore white face paint and goth makeup? And called themselves Rocket Baby Dolls? Ahahaha].

Possible band names we brainstormed... [it's really fun to come up with them... but some are just ridiculous!] Feel free to laugh.

-Wonderland [My idea, of course!]
-The Wonton Experience [Get it? Like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but not]
-Seizures! On The Dance Floor [parody of Panic! At the Disco]
-Fire Hydrant
-Emergency Exit [We took stuff from our bus as inspiration...]
-Do Not Block
-Pink Hippos [This guy kept on coming up with hippos! :p]
-Knights of the White Camelia [Sounds cool, but it's actually a white supremist group like the KKK after the Civil War... so yeah, bad idea!]
-K.K.K. [Kool Kids Klub. Once again..... bad idea]
-Saturn ["Why don't we name our band after planets?"]
-Pluto ["Oh man, Disney is going to sue us..."]
-The Rolling Squares [Umm.... parody of the Rolling Stones??]

We're weird.

Post better ideas if you have them...

Schadenfreude



Main Entry: scha·den·freu·de
Pronunciation: \ˈshä-dən-ˌfri-də\
Function: noun
Usage: often capitalized
Etymology: German, from Schaden damage + Freude joy
Date: 1895

: enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others

That's the word I've seen before and couldn't remember... basically when your friend gets a bad grade or something, you secretly feel happy about it.

The English language is so odd... but new words can always be invented! Just look at Lewis Carroll for inspiration :)

I like how there seems to be a word for everything!

Well, almost everything.

ED boys

Very interesting.
I want to watch this...

Lace and things.



Pure magic, captured in bottles.

A reading list:

-The Perks of Being A Wallflower
-That book on males with anorexia
-A Clockwork Orange
-Deathnote Vol. 6
-The Best Little Girl In The World
-The Book Thief

What a beautiful site.
Biodivison, Joy Division...
OHMYGOSH Marie-Antoinette-styled ball gowns... That is my perfect dress right there! This is pretty too... Who has $875.00 to lend me?

Oooh aaah.

C'est vendredi!

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear.”
-Stephen King

(found on www.mypointeofview.blogspot.com)

So I was grocery-shopping with my dad after he picked me up from school and I heard...
"Do do do do do do do do dooooooo-do-do-do..."
Fall Out Boy had been playing in the store and I wished they would play Muse, for some reason
suddenly "Uprising" came on!!
Wow, what a psychic moment.
I was like, "Wow! They're finally getting playing on American radio!" :D
Clicckkkkk... [Plug In Baby literally, aha]

*Songs*

1. "You Wouldn't Like Me" ~Tegan & Sara
2. "Shooting Star" ~Air Traffic
3. "Zero" ~Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4. "Horchata" ~Vampire Weekend
5. "D.A.N.C.E." ~Justice [the animation is soooo cool!]

Looking forward to a 3-day weekend, and "A Raisin In The Sun" duo interpretation for a speech tournament tomorrow!
It's this... nervous anticipation.
Hypnopædia!

So my friend got me into reading manga again, with Deathnote...
I love Light. I wish I was as smart as him! Aha.
I'd like to do a cosplay with me as Misa, and my friends as L and Light... although I don't like to do cosplay unless everything is perfect and you put alot of effort into it! The only other shoot I've done like that was Alice in Wonderland [you know I'm obsessed!]... so. Enjoy other people's cosplays instead? :D

Some AMAZING Deathnote cosplays...
Click N O W.



An awesome Light! The same person also does Alice in Wonderland, The Little Prince, and other manga/book cosplays... I think it's a girl, although she's very androgynous and often plays male characters... [she also has a twin!]



LIGHT. With real wings! [not Photoshopped]



The first cosplay I saw of L, back when I never read the series... I just randomly found this in my DeviantArt favourites! >.<

From the same photoshoot as the Light one.



Misa!! She's so pretty, isn't she? I like her style... it's like, Gothic-Victorian-ish? Her hair looks browner here, but in a different photo, it's reeeally blonde... I should find a pic of all three of them together [they seem like such good friends that way!], but I'm too lazy... It's in the link, anyways.

Oh, here's one...



Yeah, that's about it for now...
Picture posts are fun.
Good night!

Saturday, January 9, 2010

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are so good...
I went out and bought all their stuff.
Maybe that's not a good thing... aha.

It's great!
