MY FEET, WHICH ARE LARGE

I will take photos soon, but if you want to get an idea of just how big they are, find a men's size nine black Converse Airwalk high top and hold it up to your own. Is it bigger? Yeah, I thought so. I wear a size eleven in women's. Sad. I can fit a size ten, but I don't like my toes to touch the end, so elevens it is. Sigh. I've pretty much given up on being Cinderella, thanks. Everyone has their odd personal touches, but mine is a bit extreme. Which is good, I like extremes. I juts wish I was taller (like six feet) so I could be balanced out with those baby sharks attached to my legs. I'm around five foot two now, nice normal height. Everyone I know is tall and has big feet, though, so it's unnerving for me to see feet the size of my toes. Oh well. Signing off.

The Best Teacher In The WORLD EVER!!!

I didn't really realize it, but I heard my classmates talking about music with her, and they were saying stuff like, "Do you listen to Kanye West? Do you listen to Eminem?" and other god-awful drivel when I decided to ask her about GOOD music. So we can agree on Regina Spektor, Nirvana, The Beatles, and a bunch of other stuff (I can't remember it all! Grrrr!) and she also read Eats, Shoots and Leaves. We were debating the merits of the Oxford Comma (I'm against, she's for) and reached the conclusion that it's needed when there are only Independant Clauses but if there are non-Independant Clauses then it's unnecessary. And I also know a rhyme for commas. "Cats have claws at the end of their paws; a comma's a pause at the end of a clause." Nice. She has a book called "The Deluxe Transitive Vampire" (I think) that she's going to bring in Monday. I HAVE THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! And I actually learned something really useful today.

CUTE COSPLAY GOODS!!!

Me so angry! Sooo angry! So much cute cosplay stuff but it's all sooooo expensive!

So many cute hats, bags, SHIRTS WITH KYOUHEI'S FACE ON THEM, POSTERS OF THE AZUMANGA DAIOH GANG, AND OTHER STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED some of that stuff. Manga and cosplay is my lifeblood (not that you can tell). And when I finally have money, I CAN'T FIND ANY SITES!!! :tears out fistfuls of hair:

But I saw just last week a Di Gi Charat COMPLETE COSTUME INCLUDING WIG AND SHOES FOR FIFTY DOLLARS. THAT IS THE HOLY GRAIL. Ugh. And now it's gone. The wig even had those bell things! I could look just like her!!! Sigh... well, the time for that one's past anyway... but I could still be Chiyo Mihama! Or... or... that girl from Sand Chronicles! [You already are, knucklehead.] Shut up. I'm not that bad. But that Dijiko costume! I wept many a tear over you.


Whatever. I'll go cry a bit more, and then hopelessly attempt my own cosplay dress. [Epic fail...] Oh, shut it. How long is this to continue?

Cat Hats Cost Too Much

Yeah, so there's this website, Animehot.com, and THEIR AVERAGE FLEECE CAT HATS COST TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS. Ridiculous! I'm steamed. I need a cheap cat hat, dummies!

Cheerful Happy Post

Hey y'all! This is a cheerful happy post to make up for my general raincloud vibe. Man, do I suck. Nope, none of that thinking allowed here! Only happy stuff! [Man, this is gonna be a short post] shut up.

I think [this] is the devil [no, this is you. Wake up] on my shoulder and {this} is the angel, and this is just me. So I can say anything neutral I want, [and I can say any mean stuff I want! Nya ha ha ha] and {I can say nice stuff}.

Okay, sick of being skitzo. Bye y'all.

MESSING STUFF UP

I SUCK. If people didn't read this, I could post more freely, but then I get embarrassed... ugh. Whatever. Okay. :blows out big puff of air: Fooooo.....

So. A person. And another person. And yet another person. And then... me. Person three ---> me ---> person one ---> person two. I hate this kind of thing. Ugh.

HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL!

I never saw it coming! Never! (Well, okay, I stayed up counting my money to see how much I would have at my next paycheck.) But still. Sixty five bucks! That's a lot of money (for me)! And I can use it to buy punctuation grammar nerd-type books. Lynne Truss is the best person who ever lived (except You-Know-Who... you know... him).

Yup. I am a grammar nerd. I would so totally parade around Warner Bros. Offices with an apostrophe on a stick. So. Totally.

THINGS I'D LIKE TO BUY WITH MY JOB MONEY

(In no particular order)

• The only Regina Spektor CD I don't have, 11:11
• A cell phone (yeah, keep dreaming)
• a laptop (ditto)
• a nice, NEW box set of the Harry Potter books (see next post)
• a set of colored pencils (a few more weeks!)
• dye for my hair (I'm considering red, black, and deadly nightshade... give me your input)
• a new copy of TTFN, cos Dyani wrecked it by leaving it in a tub of water.

Oh, there will be more. Much more.

100th post!

Ok, I should probably say something, Iduno, meaningful, so here it is.


Ummmm......

I got a job... I make twenty bucks every Saturday working five hours and I'm dyeing my hair again. Yay. Here's the URL. http://www.manicpanic.com/classiccreamformula.html

MY CHARACTERS

They started out with me writing stories about them (originally in high school, but it made no sense), but gradually, they became so real to me... weird, huh?
So next post(s) will be about them. Tada!!!

A Guy Likes Me (Probably), Which Is WEIRD

Or at least, Malik says so. It's his friend [name withheld for personal privacy], who I actually liked at one time (but that's ANOTHER STORY. MOVING ON!), and don't anymore, which is not to say that I don't NOT LIKE him. We're actually sorta-friends. You know, like if Malik and him are watching a movie, they'll invite me, and we'll chat on Facebook, but we've never actually like hung out with just the two of us, and I wouldn't, like, invite him over if Malik wasn't with him.
He even sorta-said that it was true, but it's HIGHLY likely that it's a stupid joke.
Anyway, I've never REALLY been liked before (long story which I shall divulge when I am far past it, but I still have nightmares about running into him), so it's good for my self esteem and quite unnerving, but on the other hand, if this guy's for real, and I, um, say no to him (no to what? What would we even do? I mean, I'm twelve, for Pete's sakes), then Malik says I will be a Tessy* (he was actually the "Mark" in that case). Which I don't want to be. Not that I don't like "Tessy", but I definitely don't want to BE her.
Well, now that that's out of my system, I need to go see if [name withheld, but it's a different person, and the name is withheld for MY personal reasons] is online!!!
Just kidding. Sort of.

*see previous post, "***** ASKED ***** OUT AND SHE TURNED HIM DOWN!!!"

HEAVEN... I'M IN HEAVEN...

SHEER, PURE, UNADULTERATED, PERFECT HEAVEN: ordering mangas (cough cough, volume nine of The Wallflower by Tomoko Hayakawa) online at Amazon.com, seeing them arrive in the mail four-to-fourteen business days later (I'm not here quite yet), and ripping open the package and devouring them (metaphorically speaking) like hungry wolves (still metaphorically speaking... you get used to it).
I LOVE IT. I love it all, every second of it. The waiting isn't so great (nor is handing over your hard-earned money to your mother, whose PayPal account you had to use), but it just makes tearing open that package all that much sweeter.
AHHH...

DYEING MY HAIR WITH BEET JUICE AND GETTING SUPER PWNED!!!

Ok, I shouldn't have done it. But she was so sure it would work! And I figured, what have I got to lose? So I went for it.
THE PLAN: dye my hair pink... USING BEETS.
HOW? Make beet juice and pour it over my head. Let it sit for six hours.
THEN I: rinsed it out for literally five seconds under ice cold water (it was supa sticky, ya know).
WHAT HAPPENED... it felt weird so I looked in the mirror... NOT A TRACE OF PINK.


PWNED!!!


xoxoxo Anna

MY STUPID HAIR

It's all... like, yellow now, and my roots are growing in... probably already posted this, actually. I must take a picture of it so I can post.

LOOKVILLE

I got an invitation from a lady that read my other blog, CatSnuggles. I wonder if she knows I'm twelve? I hope I don't get kicked off the site or anything.

PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE

OMG there are people in my house that I have never met! They're renting our house during Pentwater. They seem nice, and they promised not to go in my room, but still. Mega weird.
