Black and White Party

So I was invited to a Birthday Party on friday, which was pretty fun, the theme being black and white. There was alcohol (not for me though, I don't like the taste X3) and dancing (which I sort of did by the end of the night) and happy people.

I wore a handmade skirt and headbow, but first! Things I bought recently, huhuhu~

On Thursday I went to the city centre  and headed into Paperchase and then TKMaxx, buying an adorable notebook and umbrella respectively.

The two things <3
The close up of the notebook, it has a Badger on it, so cute! <33
Artsy shot of the umbrella- it has white polka-dots and a cute white ruffle along the hem ^u^

Okay, party outfit!
The front

The back


My hair and head bow! >3<


Close-up of the head bow. It's actually 3: A bottom, floppy one made of fabric that I snipped off a primark dress, the patterened one I made myself and a white ribbon, all slid onto a headband. I wore it to the side as it looks odd in the middle
  The top is a AatP/BtSSB shirred cutsew, with a Dorothy Perkin's corduroy waistcoat. Skirt is handmade, with AatP tights, which have glittery writing on the sides <3  Not shown are my heels, which are cute and black but comfortable as they are Rocketdogs.

 And I have matching nails!
This one came out neater than the other
See what I mean? X3

Junji Ito

I'm quite a scaredy-cat, chicken, easily spooked and terrified. From words, pictures or video, it doesn't take much to freak me out and it's been like this since I was little. So I've avoided horror and to an extent thriller movies and such media, whether it contains ghosts and other supernatural phenomena to gore and psychological mindfucks. Even commercials and give me paranoia and I hate having to go upstairs when the lights are off, the darkness behind me. I turn around and leap into bed as soon as I switch off the light to avoid being near the gap under the bed at night. And I peek out from behind the shower curtains and stay away from the drains when I have a shower.

But there's something about Junji Ito that's got be hooked. I read Tomie and Tomie 2 last year, staying up all night to finish each. I had trouble getting to sleep that night, but I wanted to read more stories. Perhaps it's the art style and the way the people are drawn, maybe it's the adrenaline rush I get from each piece. Whatever it is, it's got me and I want more.

Nail Polish

I like painting my nails, and doing designs, it's especially helpful when tuesdays, thursdays and saturday's I'm at the nail shop as my mum works there. This week, I have shimmery nails that alternate in colour but with the same design on top in black and white. From my left hand pinkie, it starts with a blue/blue-green hue followed by a pink that's golden bronze in the light. Very cute and girly, in my opinion and refreshing in the winter!

When I Was Little

When I was little, before I really knew about religion, I thought that when people died they turned into stars.

The twinkling was them switching places with another person, like taking shifts.

The Beginning

Well, looks like this is my first post. *waves* Hello!

I love drawing and I tend to procrastinate when it comes to homework- unless it has a deadline. Then I end up staying up until un-godly hours trying to complete it the night before it's due. So of course I get irriatable and cranky in the daytime since I haven't had enough sleep. Or I'm a super-hyper-bouncy-fest of energy. I feel kinda bad for the people who have to deal with it on a daily basis, hehe. ( I guess I'm a normal student.)

So now I've googled "Beginning" really quickly since I'm not sure what I'm doing too much (I've edited this 4-5 times, maybe more, ugh) , and the definition that stood out to me the most was:

an act or circumstance of entering upon an action or state: the beginning of hostilities.
Although I'm -not- planning on going to being hostile, I found the example funny.
Anyway, this blog is going to be me trying to be more open and to share myself to the world. Perhaps because I don't go out much, perhaps so that people can find me.

It's a personal thing, a personal decision, so-
- Dear World: Here I Am.
