SO...

Oh, hello, it's been a while!
I'm sorry. But it's not like anyone reads these.
~THE PAST FEW MONTHS IN PICTURE FORM~

I dyed my hair purple. Sadly it didn't last long at all.

I went to Spain! It was lovely but far too hot

I became a ginger. Actually, that was before Spain, but this is a more recent picture.

I went to see Jess for the day. That was a great day, we did some filming, and some tea-making. She's called thesparklingmango on youtube, here's a video to have a looky at some of our escapades --->

I had my hair dyed black. This was not my choice, but I'm learning to like it!

Of course, other, more stupid things happened in between, but I'm tired and it's late. Ttfn!!

I feel like I should post something...

I went to Nemacon today. It's on again tomorrow
I'm in the process of stretching my ear to 4g or 5mm
I had a lovely time seeing lots of lovely people and singing Sexy Boy by Shawn Michaels.

Listen to iiiiiittttt. Seriously.




Lol that was a crappy post, I swear I'll be more interesting in the future♥

Lolita meme! :D

3. Why did you start to dress lolita?
I can't remember about how I found it to be honest, might have been via Death Note ¬¬ But then I found the Angelic Pretty website.....

Nearly all of them if done well! I tend to wear classic and gothic though. But I do want to try sweet, it's so nice.

5. Express in your own words, the ideal of your above answer.
I think classic is my favourite, it's just so elegant and pretty!! I'm not sure how to answer this tbh...

Only my ears I'm afraid, however one is stretched to an 8g and I plan on going bigger c:

7. Which brands do you like?
Angelic Pretty and Innocent World!! I quite like a lot of Metamorphose's designs, but the fabric always looks a bit generic.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Probably my Angelic Pretty Cameo rose skirt :D

9. How many lolita friends do you have?
Quite a lot actually! I consider nearly all of my local group as friends, minus the odd one or two XD

10. What do you love most about lolita?
How different and flamboyant it is! I always feel happy when wearing it!!

Bad week.

Isn't it depressing when you don't know why you're upset or feeling a bit rubbish? Because I get that an awful lot.
Now is one of those times, I've been feeling a bit crappy all week, maybe because I'm thinking about what my future will be like, I've never been good with boys I like; I'm really confident in front of all my friends, but I get really awkward when put in that sort of situation. I'm also not good with expressing my true feelings to people, I often just break down at the smallest thing, like, if I get picked on in class to answer a question, and I don't know what to say, I sometimes just forget everything, and panic. It's usually because I haven't been listening, I'm easily distracted and find it difficult to concentrate on things I'm not massively interested in. I procrastinate a lot, I can't help it, and when I'm trying to sleep, it feels like there's a million thoughts in my head, all buzzing round. I, and a few friends, think it might be ADHD inattentive type, all my life I've been pretty much like this, and it all adds up.
So, any thoughts on that or am I being a hypochondriac?

Have a picture of the lovely Thom Yorke. Your description of ugly is my description of beautiful.

Now go and watch the video to Fake plastic trees. Listen to it, and let it make you sad. It's a wonderful song, and I love it.

Homina homina homina

This is Anthony. He's my new dressform, my auntie gave him to me :D Isn't she lovely? My auntie that is....
It's a bit weird at night though, staring at someone with no head (who would be the same height as me if he had a head) with exactly the same measurements as you.
That's a dress I made that he's wearing by the way. Yay!

What I did yesterday

It was the royal wedding yesterday, so my mum decided to have a bit of a family get together. I personally didn't give one about the wedding, yes they're a bit famous (okay, a lot famous) but they're still just two people getting married. I liked her dress though.

 

 

My face. With a few spots

What I was wearing

I thought everyone was going to get all dressed up and stuff, but apparently not. I eventually took off the belt (because it fastened oddly and kept coming undone) and my petticoat because it was getting on my nerves.
Outfit rundown!!
-Dress- Peacocks
-Belt- New Look
-Cardi- TKMaxx
I also had on knee length leggings because it was too cold for bare legs. 
           ANYWAY! Off the topic of me. We had a barbeque which was lovely, there was spare ribs, but they were obscenely chewwy, so I stuck to eating cake, speaking of cake, my auntie made a HUUUGE cupcake, it was so yummy, I had two pieces. I want some now. I went to bed feeling a bit sick because I'd eaten a lot and I usually don't.
          It was a nice day overall, I'm not going to list everyone who came because that'd be stupid as you probably don't know any of them, but it was basically family of my stepdad and my mum and a few close family friends. There was some nice prawns.

I don't know what else to talk about so I'll end this here, thank you for taking the time to read/scan/glance at this, bye byee!
OOH! Actually, please let me know, can I rotate pictures on this? I don't know how to ;__;

Concern

Bit of a serious topic here..
I was going through my tumblr when I came across a picture a friend of mine had reblogged; it was a picture of the stomach of a girl, she was tiny, must have been about a UK size 6, if that, but not entirely healthy looking, hips jutting out slightly, visible ribs, so I went and had a look at the original source. It upset me, it really, truly did. The blog belonged to a girl who said she longed for the perfect body, and self harmed as an outlet; it was full of tiny, skinny girls, some healthy, but slim, others clearly starving and sick, mentally and physically.
Lets be honest here, girls, who doesn't want to be slim and elegant? Maybe a womenly, curvy, sexy figure? Nearly nobody is completely happy with themselves, including me, I'm about 5'5"-6", UK size 12, got a bit of a belly and chubby legs, I have quite wide hips and a biggish bust, but my waist is a decent size, at 28.5",  I personally like quite having a littleish waist and wider hips, but there's so many bits I'd love to slice off or make disappear. However for some people it's so much different to that, they can't see any bits that they like, hence anorexia sufferers; they convince themselves they are overweight and so much bigger than everyone else, when in reality they are literally starving themsleves to death.
And, I personally blame most of this on the media. Oh the media. Joy. 34"-24"-34". What's that? Just some random numbers? It's the most desireable proportions for a female high fashion model, you also have to be 5'8"-11". Most high fashion models are (obviously) very slim, skinny, even, resulting in an average BMI of 16.3. A healthy BMI is anywhere between 18.5 and 25. And people go around saying anorexia is just a cry for attention? Eating disorders are illnesses. Mostly mental. Imagine after, lets say years, of convincing yourself you're grossly overweight, someone comes along and tells you to stop attention-seeking and put some weight on. Now, you think you're overweight, and someone tells you to put weight ON, after you've been trying to lose weight? That must sound so ridiculous and slanderous! Plus, having horrendously low self-esteem, "stop attention-seeking!" sounds pretty darn awful.
Overall, have a little thought when you tell someone to "put some weight on!" or "you should calm down on the snacks..." tiny little snide comments like that can really push people over the edge. You can tell someone they're pretty, or beautiful, and they'll maybe believe you for the next few hours, tops. Tell someone they're ugly, fat, or stupid and they'll believe you forever. You can't undo the spoken word, so once it's done. it's done.
Rant over.
*Disclaimer* I have never suffered from an eating disorder, so if my facts are a bit off, please forgive me.
Also I'm sorry if this makes nearly no sense, it's 1 in the morning over here and I decided to do a blog post. Smart, eh?
