Saint Valentine

  A  Roman saint celebrated on the 14th of February so you can get laid.

"Saint".. isn't that a Catholic thing? So do Athiests celebrate Valentine's Day? Jews? Sorry.
Brain went from 0 - 60 because I had such a great day today!

I'm really thankful to have the loves that I do in my life. And I'm extremely lucky to be living with one of them, but I don't think I've ever really celebrated Valentine's Day before. I think like... once in high school. And last year. Other than that... I don't count grade school because the ninja turtle cards were mandatory but putting that aside.. never been a Valentine's Day type.
Last year was a joke. Rot and I decided to finally do something, and we plan everything out to spend the day doing the stuff you're supposed to do for the sake of obligation, when I get a phone call from a former friend who found out her internet boyfriend sent the $40 box on the website to his friend, and she only got the $20 plant from the same website. She's probably the world's greatest private investigator / google user.
Rot was livid because he doesn't care for V-Day much either, but we were driving around, wasting gas, to try to do something nice specifically for that day so we could be normal just like everyone else. So I guess last year didn't count much either. I don't remember what we did... I think we went to some restaraunt OH YEAH we went to this greek place no wait. NO. WE WENT TO THIS LIKE RAW, VEGGIE PLACE WITH POTATOES. Or something. No they had meat. Anywho we went there. And then I forget what else we did, lol.

OKAY. So I figured... I do something for myself today ^_^
I worked this morning, but I pushed through my tiredness and as soon as I got home I got ready and asked Rot to drop me off at the train station on his way to work. Today was Love Yourself, Cynthia day! It's so great to have people you love and love you back in your life, but don't forget to love yourself first, and always!



I ventured to Little Tokyo today, parasol in hand because it was sunny as shit. It felt good to walk around and just... be there again. I wasn't scared. There were a few uncomfortable moments... which I come to expect just about every time I go somewhere because men suck at controlling themselves, but it's nothing speed walking and no acknowledgement can't fix.
The whole time I was thinking of how much I wished Devon were there, so we could go on a little search for our mystery boxes and do our little LT things.. which btw, I didn't get. The first thing I did was hit Mr. Ramen to stuff myself. The hostess was incredibly sweet. She recognized me I think... seemed glad to see me when I walked in. That felt really nice. :)
I sat further in, where we last sat together and got a bowl of Chashu Pork Ramen with an extra egg. She gave me 3 eggs, and only charged me for one extra. That also was really nice.


So I sat there by myself, content, pondering, remembering, and chilling there with my bowl of Ramen. That too was really nice. As I ate I looked at all the cool little drawings on the wall that people had sent in, and the menu pictures. I was content. Now I know why Carrie Bradshaw always goes out to just sit somewhere wit a cappuccino. She's fucking content just being by herself!



Oh my god you guys. After the hostess brought over my bill, she gave me a little gift. CUTEST GESTURE EVER.
She was all smiles, and super super sweet. She gave me a little thing of Pocky candy!


It was so random! I totally wasn't expecting it, and it was just... incredibly nice of her. She didn't give one to any of the other people who were there, so I was really humbled. So I left her a 50% tip. It was so cute, I brought it up to the counter and her eyes got huge and she goes "oh no! too much, too much!" and I go "it's okay!" smiling. And then we both happily bowed thank yous and exchange really really humbled you're welcomes in japanese, lmao. That moment absolutely made my day! I think she knew or remembered that Devon and I would visit there together, and saw that she wasn't there this time. Maybe that has something to do with it? I'll never know. I wish I had taken her picture. What a sweetheart she was :) I'll remember her kindness, for sure.

From there I headed to the strip with the red tower where all the restaurants are. Visited Tokyo Lifestyle and browsed a few other places, then headed to Marukai. I was there way longer than I intended. It's always hard to choose what I want when I go in there. All I know is that I was munchies type stuff. Things that I can eat in small portions throughout the week. And of course my drinks. They didn't have my daifuku or the flavored mochi that I generally lean more towards getting.. lol. So that delayed my visit considerably. Considerably. Eventually I ended up getting some candy, cream filled pan, and onigiri, which I never realized they had!! YOU GUYS. IT WAS SO GOOD. It was SO good that I'm going to buy some damn nori and fish and prepare some at home. And it's the most simple thing to prepare! I never knew nori could be so effing delicious.



After Marukai, I went upstairs to the bookstore. Where I sought out volumes 7 & 8 of XXX- Holic.
Btw, it's not a pornographic manga. The "xxx" is incredibly misleading, but it's about supernatural stuff, haha.


Of course... they had all the volumes except for 7 and 8. Unbelievable lol. But I wasn't leaving empty handed, so I looked over some other manga and noticed this one:

The synopsis made me smile and seemed really silly. It's a comedy but it's also yaoi-ish. Eerrr... I don't know. It's... weird. Google it, lol. ^______^

I also picked up a memo pad to keep track of my work schedule. It's Sentimental Circus themed. So cyoooooot.

And then I went back to the other shopping area and browsed some more.


Finally when it was time to leave around 5ish, I grabbed a boba drink and split. It was starting to get dark and I'd have to walk home from the train station. But it was a great day :D



When I finally arrived at my gate, I checked the mail to find the best thing to end my day.


A letter from Devon. 
Can you believe it? 
I knew it was from her because we both got stationary together the last time we went, so we could write to each other. The chances of something like this happening again are slim but... yay!!! Perfect. :D


Oh, Devon. :) You are missed little lady, but I am happy to know you are settling in and are doing good where you are. I love love love your drawings! Please don't flip any tables over my posting them, lolol


Here's what I got today:






ugh this was so good.


Oh, and a pen.

Tomorrow and Saturday I am off, which will give me time to work on some more pieces for my Etsy as well as finish the commissions for my co-workers. Someone ordered two Dr. Who tardis charms. fucking... detailed as shit. lol I still don't know how I'm going to do it, but the challenge is fun.

LOL.. Rot just got home. I told him to buy me bananas for Valentine's Day. He responded saying it's not banana day :(
BUT HE JUST GOT HERE WITH SOME BANANAS AND HUGGINS :DD KBYE

Whoa

   This entry will test my powers of memory since... it's been a while. The last thing I can recall worth writing about waaass... maybe some charms I sold? I feel like my investments were for naught. My Etsy has been silent. It's a little baffling because I've gotten so many "when are you selling them?!", so when I finally do it's kind of... not that.

It is what it is. Though, I haven't really advertised it much, but spamming people is not what I want to do. Word of mouth seems way more legit. There's a psychology behind that I think; if someone tells you about something they saw, heard, or bought it's because they want you to enjoy it as they did. If you shove something down someone's throat, forcing this on them, it's more likely that they'll just get sick of it and ignore or avoid it all together- unless they're brainless and just want to be a part of everything.

K.

Look at this!


Super cuuute! It was a custom for Kyrie. I can make those in a bunch of different colors you know. Guys. I can make them. In all the colors. Guys. Ok? Just saying.

No word from the Beta, so I take it I wasn't accepted. Which blows, but I'm still glad they're being that strict. However... LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED THAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AGAIN FOR THE BETTER

I'm playing World of Warcraft again!! What? WoW? Really? Gross.
No, not... WoW wow, but Vanilla WoW :DD

We are playing on a private server created just for veterans like meeeeee ^_^
Literally. Look!


I read that and almost cried. I actually got teary-eyed when I left the tomb I spawned in and didn't see a bunch of yellow shit all over my monitor indicating where to go. I was home again.
No blatant tool tips, no obnoxious yellow question marks on my map, no retarded re-made starting area... just silent, unpressured (not a real word?) quest reading and seeking out your next location like a true RPG. Ah.... :) *purrrrr* ^_^

Ever since, this is pretty much what has been taking up most of my free time. I'm level 14 and I also rolled a Warlock.

Also I made this:


Cool shit, right?! I loved that show! It's another commission piece. So I haven't fallen completely into the mmo relapse of utter uselessness. However, I have fallen short of my other charms that I really want to make, but ... get distracted from. :P heehee.

Here are so more WoW screenshots :D


Spawning point!


The spiders in the cave are agro again. :) 
I remember when they changed that... totally unneeded. Rot, Josh, and I all played that night til late just reliving the starting zone until we reached Brill. Good times. We cleared this cave just for the hell of it. Ahhh... ^_^


The original Sylvanas model. I admit, this was one of the changes that they implemented that I actually really liked. Mostly because it didn't affect my gameplay, and it made her more accurate, aesthetically. But it was still cool to see her in this form again.


:D Apothecary in the Undercity. 


What our nightmares were made of back in the day. Son of Arugal would somehow sneak up on you and destroy you. He'd just patrol the area, and he was way higher level than you. so killing him was rofl no.


My friends had a show at the Viper Room on Tuesday! I've never been. What a teeny, tiny venue. But I saw a bunch of people I know there. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures that night. My bag is a pain to get in and out of, and Rot gave me his jacket to stow away so... meh. Jamison's band played; Modern Weapons. Before them was a metal band, I forgot their name. Kauze? Idk. They were alright. I don't even like metal. I'm not talking about the shit that's on TV, btw...with the clown make up and ugly chicken hair. That's not even metal. I had to clarify that. Anyway, after Jamison, Elena's band went on! She looked so beautiful and did great! She's gotten so much better since she first started. You could see a little nervousness before, but now she's blowing everyone away :)

I saw my friend Eric that night, Jason too. Met some new people who weren't crazy. That was neat. 
It's always nice to be surrounded by people you know. At least for me it is... I don't get anxious and start panicking. Or at least with sort of like-minded people. Makes going out a little less stressful for me. I will admit at some points it felt like this 

http://24.media.tumblr.com/dd2adf09ed083e47c37107345099885c/tumblr_mhwoo6gsyU1rjcfxro1_400.gif

 I had a good time though. We all did, I think. It was good to see Elena again. She always tells me how much she likes me. I like her too. I wish I didn't suck at showing it, though.
At one point during the night Dave Navarro grabbed one of the locks hanging from my up do and asked me if it was yarn or my real hair. 
My initial thought was "oh wow... why are you grabbing something of mine without asking me?" 
I told him it was my real hair, he complimented me. I smiled a thank you and turned my attention back to Elena.

Sociology of the Day: Status doesn't make being presumptuous okay. At least not with me it doesn't.

Towards the end of the night I was invited to go to an after-party at Angels & Kings, but I wasn't in the mood. We all had just gotten WoW on our machines and I was eager to just get home and play. Rot drank himself too much again, so I drove us back. Josh said the Subway by our house is open 24 hours... soooooooooo we stopped there. When we got home everyone just went to bed. I had to get Rot ready for bedtime again. It's like this happens every week. lol sigh. The next day we played some more WoW until I pooped out and took a nap.


What else?
Last night was my co-workers birthday party. From the last few get-togethers I've attended, I had assumed, mistakenly, that it would be just as all the others. A humble little thing between co-workers. I was severely mistaken. A co-worker came to get me so we'd all go together. It took some convincing, to which I later found out that there was some stupid gossip drama at work again. I was so blissfully ignorant of it all. I'm unsure of who has been talking about it but I can take a huge wild guess, and can probably say it's the same people that fabricated the crap about me as well. I told her it's always a pissing contest and to not worry about it. We got there and there were only a few people there, mostly from work. My ride left shortly thereafter, but I told her I'd stay and find a ride later. More people started arriving that weren't from work. It got louder, so I asked if there was an xbox or ps3 somewhere that I could check out. They led me to another room with an entertainment system with a PS3. I chose Bioshock. I sat in that room in solitude for a while. Mainly due to the game needing an update, and after that... it also needed installing. Which felt like an hour. As I was waiting for everything to finish, the party sounded like more and more people kept showing up, and there was shouting and "WOOOO"- ing. I called Rot and asked him if he could come get me. He was drinking, so he asked Josh. The game finally finished installing, and I didn't get very far before another co-worker came into the room and asked me about dating a friend of theirs. I don't know if it was because she was tipsy or not, but she was very jubilant. All I could do was look at her in horror and arch my eyebrow in a "why are you asking me this... no" way. She said we'd be very cute together and all geeky and whatnot. I'm moved. I told her I was leaving, we talked a little more and she left the room. I went to the bathroom. Came back to a missed call and walked out. I wanted to say goodbye to everyone but there were so many people that I only got to say goodbye to one co-worker and gave up and just walked out.

I'm... not normal. Sorry.



Rot took us to get frozen yogurt!! So yumms ^_^

Nilla calls.

Shout

 I had my job review today, finally. The pay raise was implemented months ago, however I still wanted to know what she felt I could improve on. Is that weird? Maybe it's an ego thing, I don't know. But it mattered more than just the money. Integrity is so stupid.
We also had a meeting today. It came across to me more as entertainment than a lecture.

Some stuff came in the mail for my little business (?) --- I feel weird calling it a business because like, it's just an online store. It's not like... legit. It is. but it's not ... I don't know. It's Noobish. Does that make sense? I dunno. Anywho I got some stuff for packaging, which elevated my mood. Also I got this little caddy thing for all my tools. I'm not OCD at all regarding that shit, but my little work desk was so cluttered that working on it was blegh. The simple things.


I had this song stuck in my head all day today.


Such a great classic.
The vocals, the music, the mood, tempo, everything. You can feel the emotion in the song.

It's actually really upsetting to me that the music that's considered good these days is... nothing at all within the plane of the talent from back in the day. I wasn't even born when this came out, but I love the music from that era, the 80's. It just feels and sounds more... genuine. There's real feeling to it, and the relationship between the instruments is like... they have this beautiful choreography that just fits so well together. And then there's the shit out today - stupid ass dubstep, shit like nicki minaj, qq bitches crying about the same old crap in dumb, cliche love songs, and stupid LOOKING bands that sound just as stupid trying to call high pitched whining "metal." It sucks. to me. And don't get me started on rap. I'm glad they can keep a rhythm as they speak, and rant about whatever in stanzas, but please... there's a massive difference between having ghost writers and keeping a rhythm... and being a composer. No, not producer. COMPOSER. Musician.

Ugh.
Ironically, I'm letting it all out. THANKS, TEARS FOR FEARS :D

Moving on.
Next week I'm hoping I don't exhaust myself with the all two outings I'll have. My friends' show, and then there's also yet another co-worker's birthday get together. I can't wait to watch the not at all subtle pissing contest that will ensue that evening. How many social experiments can one do in one night? Is that awful? Sorry. Simply and frankly, it's pretty entertaining to observe from a distance. Distance is great. I like distance. I wish to remain there.

I wish I had the balls to do a cover of that song. I probably could. Nooooooooooo, but I don't have the balls for it. Ew, I'm too shy. :( Also my roommate is literally always here, so I'm never recording another cover ever again.

Oh man. So I just saw this article that a friend shared: AKB48 member’s ‘penance’ shows flaws in idol culture | The Japan Times

OH. MAN.
Basically, this girl band member was seen leaving a boy's house.
Her contract with management forbids her to have a boyfriend because it will ruin the fans' fantasies.
This got out, and she shaved her head, which is considered an extreme act like.. oh shit, i fucked up. i'm humiliated.. and she's apologizing profusely and asking fans to take her back.
 Like the ULTIMATE I'm really fucking sorry. But her sexuality is stripped, and she just... ugh. she did that to herself... all over seeing a boy.

This hit the biggest nerve ever.
OH MY GOD the biggest nerve ever.

Some of you know. Some of you don't. I've dealt with some of the biggest bullshit of all time because of these "super fans" as Rot likes to call them. I like to call them burninafuckingfireanddie.
Can you believe that we've had that very "fans' fantasies and chances of getting with us" conversation?
WE HAVE. Believe me when I say it's HORSE SHIT. It's UTTER. HORSE SHIT.
NO. YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE.
EVER.
"They need to think they have a chance at having sex with us because we'll sell more albums, and they'll want to bring their friends to our shows"
But I can't say that. Because albums have to sell.
Ooops. Did I just say that?

This little girl's life is turned upside down, and her adolescence stolen from her because "super fans" wanna imagine themselves fucking her, and convince themselves SO MUCH that they have a chance to fuck her that she isn't allowed to have a personal life. GOD FORBID she kiss someone, WHAT WILL THE FANS THINK. OH NO.

Ugggghhh..

Can you tell I've dealt with that before?

I'm so irritated, lol.
I want to hug her so bad... and tell her how much I understand. And comfort her. and just... not see her cry over that. Begging for forgiveness and acceptance. That is such horse shit.



They really, really ought to know...
These are the things I can do without. I'm talking to you.

What a fitting song. Who knew?


Oh! On a happier note, haha, I sold more charms on my Etsy ^_^ so I will be busting those out and getting them shipped asap. Squeak. I want Ramen!

Implode

 There are many important times in your life where your skills are tested... on your persuasive talents, and eloquence. There's school testing, job interviews, and even the everyday interaction with other brain-having people --however banal that may be-- there's a performance check to maintain.

But none so other as important as the closed Beta testing essays.

Brown University's exclusivity has nothing on closed Betas. BTW, I only know about that University because of Gossip Girl.


If you plan on signing up, you better not BS filling this out. lol.
They want you to write an essay explaining why they should pick you to be in the Beta.
It felt like an entrance exam, which essentially it is.
I wonder if there's a timer coded on that page somewhere...



Anywho I'm glad they're taking those measures. Even if I don't get accepted, I'll be comforted in the fact that they're taking this seriously and are assuring us the best of the best to get the job done.
They also asked for my computer specs. I'm a little nervous about that. Even though I have a nice rig, it could be better. These days, the graphics engines that these games work on are becoming less and less forgiving which just means I have to get my shit together and get me that shiny, new graphics card. Hm.

My Etsy shop is doing okay. I got a few more sales. Not a lot, but it's a start. The only thing I don't like is that there's a fee for everything. No wonder some of the prices on there for the dumbest things are so whack --to make up for the fees! It's cool though. I have some orders to finish today and ship off, and then I'm gonna work on possibly more BOI and Penumbra charms. They've gotten some attention on Deviant Art in those little communities and it makes me feel giddy ^_^

Also... look at these cute little guys!

 I saw something on Tumblr a while ago that made me want to make this.
Actually I see a lot of things on Tumblr that are pretty inspiring. Like those little pudding charms?
They were different on Tumblr but still, so cute.


Since my friend Ponies generously supplied my little factory with some blocks of different kinds of clay, I put some to the test! This little guy I made by mixing Fimo translucent with a little of Fimo D-20 (sparkley purple) and got this really pretty pastel. I thought it'd be perfect for another cepholopod charm because... they kind of are translucent, but also pigmented. Voila! It blended beautifully, I love it.


 There is a MASSIVE difference between Sculpey transluscent and Fimo transluscent. 
OH MY JESUS, is there a difference. 
ST is pretty much just lame. Or maybe I've been baking it shitty? I don't know, but amazingly... FT came out great! Crafters who work with these two brands said that same thing, and now I know why. Fimo r best.
PS: Cute ghost cupcake is cute.


I'm sure a lot of people feel this way. They try to help someone else through their pain, and offer a temporary solace.
Then WHAM, used up and thrown away! hahaha
Isn't it cute though!?
Look at its little face, it's so sad! Believe it or not, this little charm was ALSO inspired by various gross images on Tumblr. ha

I feel like a tool. There's a dnd blog I watch on there and my soul hurts.


:(
That's SOOOOOOOOOOO not Drizz't! Initially Pharaun Mizzrym came to mind, but he wouldn't wear that kind of armor... so it couldn't have been Pharaun. Pharaun is a Wizard. So he'd wear like.. flaunt a dress or something. Psyche, they ain't no dresses they're ROBES!! :D
But Gromph is also a Wizard. Except he's the most powerful one in the Underdark. So I guess he can wear whatever the shit he feels like. And there's reason to kill him. Makes sense. 
His daughter sort of reminds me of Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She's kind of a bitch. Calms down later though. 

Okay. Done being a tool.


Even though I'm incredibly thankful and love everything I've received, I hope the packages cease, lol. It's nice to occasionally receive little gifts, but I don't want to be that guy. Idk, it's just awkward to me. And that's probably weird to normal people who want to get showered with gifts every moment of their lives, like the Fraud Insurance Folk in Glendale. This doesn't mean I'm any less grateful, but I feel like I'm going to implode from modesty.

However, with my profits from my sales I've bought a few more things for packaging. Yay!
I also have an idea that is going to be SOOOOOOOO CUTE for all you PC gamers. OH MY GHAD I can't wait. It has to arrive in the mail, but UGH. Just wait. lol

Okay...
Boring entry is boring.

Also, Rot and I are going to our friends' show at the Viper Room on Tuesday! Both their bands are playing (cuuuuuuuute) and and and and... it'll be fun because it's like.. we know everyone, and we've all shared Tuesday Time and birthday times together. And it's been a while since that's happened, all of us together and stuff. So that should be fun. LOTS OF PICTURES. EXPECT THEM.

Sillies

   Remember when I said that Disney more than likely wasn't gonna happen? Well, I was right. I should be more disappointed but I'm not. I have today mostly to myself, and tomorrow as well. Gvies me time to make charmsies and game.


I was just in the kitchen cleaning the stove (girl power!) and my roommate walks in and goes:

Him: "Ray Park is going to be signing autographs at that comic convention next month."

me: "Huh, that's cool." *wipes counter*

Him: "Yeah, I told Rot and he all he said was 'who's Ray Park?' "

me: "... Yeah, I don't know who that is either."

Him: "Darth Maul."

me: "Oh, that short Puerto Rican dancer guy?"

Him: "He's a martial artist, yeah."

me: "Yeah, short Puerto Rican dancer guy."

Him: "Haha, yeah."


The short, Puerto Rican dancer guy has a name! 

That's cool I guess. He was just so tiny compared to Qui Gon and Obi-Wan. =\ Like a little yelpy dog or something. idk. I'm a bad person.

I'm re-watching Buffy and can't believe how much I've missed. I'm so happy.

So last week on Monday night we had some guests. Most random shit ever but it turned into Tuesday time. Literally and metaphorically. Kristof and his lady, Vanna Bananna came over! They brought wine. I made Kristof play some of Penumbra: Black Plague but his attention span was shot to shit, or he was too tipsy to focus lol. Vanna Bananna and I talked about how shitty WoW has become. She used to play, too! We all were just chilling for a while in the living room talking about video games while Rot ignored us. :) That's my Peemp!

Suffice to say we all got silly from the booze that was at hand. I wasn't as silly, but the boys definitely sillied way more.




Vanna Bananna ^_^



EPIC DUCKFACE
 



Kristof was trying to get Rot in the picture.


Rot wasn't having it. So he tackled him instead.




Sillified Kristof is sillified. XD

Josh made them rice and beans, lmao. It was Tuesday so... it's kind of a thing.



Vanna is great. I really, really like her. They just got a new place and am happy for them. Wish them both the best. 
They weren't in any state to drive so we made them stay the night. Josh gave them his great grandmother's knitted quilt to snuggle in. 

T'was a fun evening ^_^
He invited me to go see them at Bat's Cave last night but I'd be kidding myself... =\ 
I dunno, I have to be in the mood to engage in that scene. Otherwise I'll just hate it. 
What can I say? I'm a boring hermit.

Then I think it was Friday night? That I went to get some sushi with me pal Eric. We met a while ago through mutual friends, and the only thing we talked about was Warcraft III. So we got dat sushi at Octopus and literally just talked aboot mostly WoW, and he ranted about Death Knights. Probably one of the most hilarious things because the passion in his voice was similar to how Jeremy from Pure Pwnage talks when he's going on about his Command & Conquer games. We ordered a shit ton of sushi. I ate most of it. Ugh






So good T_T I felt like a fatass for eating that much in front of someone, lol. buuuuuuuuuuuut idgf! hah! Then we went to that bar place that my co-workers go to all the time. Brick..something. And we talked about more video games and Salad Fingers. Which brings me to this!


I made a Salad Fingers cupcake. Is that retarded? Yeah =[ 
I had already made a Salad Fingers chibi and thought HEY CUPCAKES ARE CUTE. WHY NOT MAKE A SALAD FINGERS CUPCAKE!? He has black frosting oozing out of his head ^_^ heehee

You can buy a Salad Fingers chibi charm on my Etsy. Eric motivated me to make all of the characters. So they will be a thing very soon and up for sale :D

 

Eric's impersonation of Salad Fingers has me loling because WHO DOES THAT.


And speaking of clay things, my friend's generous gifts keep on coming! I don't even know how to react anymore. He's sent the baking mat, two Fimo blocks of transparent and glittery purple clay. Two Sculpey III blocks -Ballerina pink and Granny Smith green (perfect for Gir charms), a shirt (that he insisted on exchanging) and a book. And clay softener which I've been using religiously since I've gotten it. It works amazingly. Also he sent me a mini cookie cutter set. I've already used the Fimo clay from the sampler and I can't believe how easier it is to work with. No wonder people prefer it over Sculpey III. 




I can be artsy when I want to.

Also made my first two sales on Etsy. That was a weird feeling, but I'm learning to deal. I'M WEIRD. WHY DID THAT FREAK ME OUT? I don't know. 
Maybe I just need Ramen. I would've liked to go today but... I'm scared of walking to the train station (here in NoHo) alone. It wouldn't be just for Ramen though, I wanna pick up some things at the book store. And boba tea. And Ramunè. And mochi. And candy. And everything. And a new parasol. I left mine in a friends car and unfortunately he lives very far away. And and and... I just wanna go. 

Now I'm hungry.
