Secret For Keeps

So, I swear from now on I'm going to try to be really regular in updating this site.  Honestly.  I want this site to become a total reflection of who I am.  I realize that I've not posted much at all recently, but I am totally going to fix that.  I am going to make this site interesting, even if it kills me.  Okay, maybe not to that extent, but I will try.

Anyway, here's what's been happening recently:

So this past weekend I had a bunch of friends sleep over, mainly to discuss Anime Expo and who was going as what cosplay, what did we want to do, and then it kind of turned into a little lolita photoshoot. XD We mostly wore my clothes, cuz I had the most, aside from one friend who has one dress. (And no offense to her, but it's kind of ita.  Good thing she doesn't know about my site.) My clothes aren't the best, but they're not bad. At least I think so.

The weekend before that I was at my friend's birthday party, which also involved lots of anime-loving people preparing for AX (and also Fanime) but it was much less lolita-friendly.  Not that they disliked lolita, it just... wasn't their thing.  But I still had an awesome time with them all, and discovered some pretty awesome youtube videos while at it.  Though I was rather surprised to discover at about midnight, as we were playing truth or dare, that only about a third of us (myself included) were straight. XD  WTF??  Why do girls always hit on me when I can never get a decent guy?  I have the worst luck in romance.  If I was lesbian, I think I'd actually have an easier time getting a date.  That's pretty sad.

But hanging with them made me think of how sometimes I kind of wish I was more involved in cosplay than I am. But everytime I try it, my costume just doesn't look right or I just don't look good in it. And I only want to cosplay if I know I can do it well and pull it off. I hate those people who just like a character and put together a sloppy outfit for the heck of it. Or worse, one of those really chubby people who cosplay as a character in revealing clothing or something. (Ew!)  So I think after this year, I'm just going to stay away from cosplay unless I find a character I really like and know I can do well.

Also, I just ordered a new dress from F+F. It was kind of an impulse buy, it was a clearance item that I thought was cute and happened to be in my size, so hopefully it will arrive and be alright so I can wear it around AX. I know F+F is kind of hit-or-miss. I want to wear it as I shop for burando items~! I'd really like a nice jumperskirt, but finding one I like that will also fit me will be quite a challenge.  I have a feeling I'll be buying more punk clothes and accessories than lolita.  Oh well.

But it's getting harder and harder to save my money. I reeeeaaaaallllly wanna go on a shopping spree and I NEED new jeans. I literally have only two pairs right now, and one has a huge hole in the knee and the other pair is too big for me. I have to keep pulling them up if I'm not wearing a belt. Thankfully it's getting warmer so I can start wearing shorts and stuff, but either way, my closet is just way overdue for an update.  I've been looking at lots of fashion-oriented stuff right now.  New Zealand's Next Top Model, fashion blogs, fashion communities on LJ, pics on deviantart, etc.  It's great inspiration for keeping me on my diet, but not so great for keeping me away from my wallet. XP

And I want Urban Decay. I need it. Those eyeshadows are to die for.

Peace+Love
