Welp, there goes another huge wad of cash! D:

EDIT: WTF I finished my Dolly-01 shoes order 4 and a half hours ago and I just checked and they're no longer on the site I ordered from. I hope this doesn't mean I won't get them. :(

Because yanno, I just can't make up my goddamn mind:

( Poll under cut )

So I've decided I need a coat for my lolita. Dutch winters get pretty chilly, after all. But importing a coat would be like zomg expensive. So I found this coat from a place here.

I think it looks like it could fit lolita skirts but I could be wrong. I have a lousy eye for these things. But it looks like it has shirring in the back and some extra give (though it doesn't look like a lot) and looks pretty foldy, so maybe...

Either way it's a metric ton cheaper than alternatives. So, thoughts? I guess I could always try and send it back if it really doesn't work.

This is basically a repost of my daily_lolita post so lolitas can skip it right on by.

My lolita shipped today!

What the hell body? I have a party on saturday and I wanna look cute with my new hair and my expensive new outfit. And what do you do? You start breaking out, even though you never do that.

Please stop being bitchy.

No love,
me

Red streaks in my hairz!? Wai yes.



It's so awesome looking. :D Also, I just bought Scribblenauts. Review later.

Poll #1470025

Should I put red streaks in my dark blonde hair?

Note: dark blonde hair is not brown hair. Brown hair is more matte and lacks luster. Dark or dirty blonde hair is lustrous and looks pretty light if light hits it.

I wanna know since I want my hair to be subtly punk. So nothing extreme like red streaks on black. I thought since red won't contrast much with my natural colour, it'd be perfect for subtle punk.

Mozilla seems to have decided that making Firefox more like Internet Explorer is better, or something:

Right-clicking on elements (including links and images) no longer offers a "Properties" menu item. The properties dialog box was not useful for most users and has been removed. If your extension interacts with that menu item in any way, you'll need to revise your code to add it yourself, or contribute your own context menu entry directly.

Source

Not useful for most users? How the heck did you arrive at that conclusion? Either way, was it really that horrible to have that option for the people who did use it? What kind of weak rationale is this? This is something I expect from Microsoft, not Mozilla.

So guys, if you're using Firefox and you use the right click properties menu even on a semi-regular basis, don't expect it to be there in the next version. Personally, I find this extremely facepalm worthy. Particularly since they acknowledge within that same section that addons might make use of it.

After all, it's already been rolled out to the FF3.6 test builds.

I feel mostly better now, thanks to the miracle of salt water snorting. The pain was pretty excruciating earlier in the day, but I'm good now.

Con report later but in the interim; does anyone have advice to make eye liner pencil stay on longer? I've noticed it fades pretty fast.

And my head hurts SO GODDAMN MUCH ohgodpleasejustkillmeandgetitoverwith. T__T

Protip: don't get a sinus infection at the start of a 3 day con and then mask it the entire time with ibuprofen. You will be fucking sorry after.

Home~

Details when I'm slightly more awake.

I am in Spain. I am also very tired.

Yesterday my backup HD died. Today it is back from the dead. Go figure.

Deceptively simple looking in concept, this racer is actually a joy to play. The basis gist of it is that you're a dirt bike racer of some sort, riding across various zany levels doing various zany stunts. It's all very zany.

But controlling the bike, despite only using one stick and a throttle (and sometimes the brake) is actually harder than you'd think. Getting your balance just right so you can slam dunk an entire track is pretty hard, and that's on easy and medium. Still when you finally get a gold medal it's very gratifying.

And it's cheap, only 1200 points on XBLA. So good fun-for-value ratio.

Thursday I went to the beach with a bunch of my friends. It was pretty good, even though I had to get up at an inhuman hour to get there on time. Also, the 15 minute tram ride - both ways - sucked pretty hard. Lots of people crammed into a tiny space on a hot, hot day. Lots of sweating was involved.

Anyway so, yeah. Beach. We just lounged, swam twice, and then the six of us went out to dinner. Hogod expensive! But oh well, gotta eat, right? People made fun of me for being pale. :( In fact I was paler than the sun-loathing lolita we had with us. Scary.

Meanwhile my local friend who moved away is now back and we hung out for most of saturday, played video games and I introduced her to the new Doctor Who. She liked it!

We also played Fable 2. Note that going around killing people right at the start of the game is probably not such a great idea! The guards are tough, and the bandits you have to kill as community service aren't much easier.

Also we might go do archery together. Maybe. Who knows. Also try to find a D&D group.

So I was bored and decided what ads were up on the dating site I don't really use at all anymore, just to see if anything leapt out at me. Turns out someone who's about my age was looking for a dance partner for classes, because she'd been wanting to learn for years. And she's local.

It's like I wrote that ad, and in fact I had been thinking of writing one pretty much exactly like it. To think, if I'd gone back one page of ads less, or hadn't gotten a random impulse to go check the ads at all I never would've noticed! Funny old world, that.

There's a local kendo dojo! ... *eyes it warily* But I bruise so easily! D:

Today was both good, bad and slightly infuriating and--*conks out* zzzzzzz x_x

I have such a craving for potato chips right now. Unfortunately, diet. :(
