Butters does not like the idea of being here; I guess cos he was just getting used to my apartment and now we moved him again ^^;;; But I had to have him here, I couldn't just leave him behind :)
OK, my next post is prolly gonna be my xmas pictorial :)
For now I'm just looking at my Friends page. Many many coord posts, sp lolita, what's up with that? Everybody's struttin' their holiday clothes ^^
...Holy shit, I just read that Susan Boyle's gonna be on Kohaku Utagasen! o__O I'd wish that shyow was broadcasted online or somth, so I could watch the whole of it and not look for like specific clips on YouTube....I'm pretty sure a lot of people abroad would apreciate it.
I know there are some messages here and there that I haven't replied yet, but I may do that tonight when I can hook up my laptop again.
I'm at work right now, lol. But I'll be leaving in a few, I don't wanna be stuck here any more....^^;;;
( Some random things I got, plus the great sensation that is my new kitteh... )
Goodbye, sweetie! I loved you on Clueless and Happy Feet ;___;
Oh, shoot. Today our boss is taking us out to lunch and I forgot to bring the camera. I really wanted pictures of this place we're going, cos the premise it's so awesome. It's a restaurant called 'Ponle Cacao', where you sit at a round table that has a hot pot in the middle. Then they bring you ingredients, veggies, meats, prawns, chicken and oils and you cook your own meal ^^ It sounds like Kramer's idea in Seinfeld, of a pizzeria where you make your own pie.
I'm really looking forward to it!
Then we have the afternoon off, so I guess I can go shopping (I need to get my sister a present)
I just had an idea. I wanna buy butterscotch candy and take pictures of Butters (my kitteh) amongst the candy...ahhhh, sugar overdose ^^
Happens to me ALL the time. Memes, quizzes, friends who ask....I tend to forget my favorites all the time, so I'm always changing my answers, based on what's on the top of my mind.
So lately I've resorted to memorizing my answers, as to sort of pre-setting them for specific questions. Like, as of now, if you ask me what my fave book is, I know I have to answer The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So I don't have to think about it ever again (although I do believe that's my fave book, can't think of any I liked better); in turn, if asked what my fave author is, I'll answer Douglas Adams XD (I'm cutting corners, see?)
Not sure what my fave movie is, but I've resolved to say The Godfather. It's good enough that I'll watch it anytime, so that's cool, I guess.
My fave band is The Beatles, my fave album is Pet Sounds.
The jury's still out on fave solo singer, actress, videogame, musical, drink and food (yes, food. I simply don't know)
Well, all of this has a point, actually. I meant to talk about my favorite actor. For years I didn't know; then I knew, but couldn't ever remember, so I started settling for Al Pacino. Whenever somebody asked, and I started drawing a blank and probably looking like an idiot trying to remember, I'd say Al Pacino and all would be OK.
So I like him enough, but I don't consider him my fave actor. But my family thinks that. I said it way too many times! And I to top it off, I have a Scarface poster in my room ><;;;
TL;DR version? My fave actor is *NOT* Al Pacino.
My fave actor is Jimmy Stewart.
OK. Cue the hellish choirs and underground music: So it shall be writen, so I never ever freakin' forget that again.
Now, to start thinking about a fave food...

06 - Whatever tickles your fancy
I wanna show ya some finds on Etsy that I'd love to either buy or duplicate. I got them all by inputting Marie Antoinette on the search field ^^ So expect all that sort fo fluff XD
I'm in love with these vintage bottles. I think I could do something like that, but finding the vintage bottles may be a little tricky. I'm gonna have to raid the antique fairs and junk markets ^^
Hand mirror! I've been pining for a hand mirror for the longest time. Must look for one!
This isn't Etsy, but I love this decorated shoe. I'd love something like this ^^
Neck ruffs! Want them all. Yes, I'd totally wear them, I like wearing ribbons and things on my neck. It makes a simple sundress, something more princessy ^^ These I can have commissioned, I guess.
Been lookng for an apron for a long time. Will be doing a lot of cooking when I'm livng alone. It can't be any apron, it's gotta be cute. So I wanna commission me something like this.
Wrist cuffs. I've never worn wrist cuffs, but I'd be willing to start a small collection. Preferably, something that'll match the neck ruffs :D
I wanna make a trinket box like this. I've all sorts of knick nacks loose and though some are pretty enough to 'dress up' my place, I'd rather keep most in boxes. The good thing is that a pretty trinket box will also dres sup your place and bring some unity, it's much more tidy and neat.
Just a funny bracelet, but ti's so cute. Let them eat cake!
Choker with flower. Love :)
French laundry bag! I want my place to be all pretty. Whatever I have in it, should help with the overall look...
07 - A photo that makes you happy
Christmas dinner a few years ago. I was still studying, living with my parents. Happy times. I love christmas!
Also, Disneyland! That place has always made me happy, I feel like a little girl again and it's not a fake feeling whatsoever. Like, I know how made up the place is, but the joy you feel around is very real and vry contagious.
08 - A photo that makes you angry/sad
Like in general or mine? I don't think I have one ^^;;;
09 - A photo you took
Had to dig deep in my Photobucket, but I found this old pic.
I chose it, cos I've always loved it. You can make anything you want out of the 'message'...I took this in Long Beach, which is one of my fave places in the world if not the most and I remember that day perfectly. It was a great year too, despite everything that had happened before...I'm not a believer, but this photo seems very peaceful, right?
Then I went to the mall to get stuff for Butters. I got him a carrying case, food, anti-flea spary, shampo, a brush, a necklace with a bow on it ^^ and I dunno what else. I was supposed to pick him up today, but the owner wasn't home ><;; I'll try agan tomorrow or I'll have my sister pick him up during the week.
Smth funny happened at the mall. We were at the food court having some sushi, when suddenly there was some consternation and hoopla; we saw video cameras and whatnot. I glanced over to see who was causing the uproar and it was one of our presidential candidates (elections tomorrow!); it was the younger one. I've beef with him, cos I think he's a clown and whatnot. He's got no business there and he's as much of a liar as everybody else. I hate all presidential candidates this year, actually. I would've done this with whomever would've been there.
Le grité payaso. No creo que me haya oído, pero se sintió bien. No suelo espetar mis opiniones de esta manera, pero el gallo no tenía qué estar haciendo ahí con la bruja de su mujer y realmente no hay por quién votar esta vez. Por eso nuevamente, no me inscribí. Y le grité payaso nuevamente. </spanish>

So, here goes:
01 - Your favorite song
Daaaang, that's hard. It's usually more like what song I'm liking right now, haha.
OK, wait, I have one. One of my fave albums is Pet Sounds and my fave song out of Pet Sounds is I just wasn't made for These Times. So we'll call that my fave song ^^
02 - Your favorite movie
The Godfather. I can watch it everyday, lol. Not that I do.
It's just so awesome. Some say it's slow, but nu-uh. It's got perfect pacing. Great characters, great music, great sequences (OMG, the christening scene!!!) and great quotability....you can about solve every dilemma in life with some quote from the Godfather XD
03 - Your favorite television program
Right now? Glee!!!!! And Two and a Half Men. But yeah, Glee. It makes me all squeeee inside whn I watch it...I have little kid regressions, I get so excited about it...omg, whenever something bad happens..or when somth good happens! Or when...idk, but it's awesome, I'm so into it ^^
04 - Your favorite book
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Whatever you didn't pick up from the Godfather, you can learn it here. The first one is my fave of the lot, though. But the rest are good too, Adams was indeed gifted with genius wit.
42 ^^
05 - Your favorite quote
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what's for dinner ^^
BUT my Platonic girl-crush loyalties still belong to Salty and Peppy, whose name I still don't know, but he has a Dead Kennedys shirt and everytime he wears it I've "Holiday in Cambodia" stuck in my head all day. [And yes, I do realize that'd be a good converation starter, but chill, aight? I've said I don't want my perfect image to crumble ><;;;]
And I still hate the guy I hate. I made a caricature of him today. From heart, so it's not very accurate, yet it captured him totally. I shall scan it when I'm home and post it here. I wanted to hang it somewhere on the agency for everyone to see, but if I chicken out (and I'm sure I will), I might as well publish it *somewhere*, even if my LJ. He won't see it, but the world will. What a loverly policy.
( First some goodies, then the rest of the crap...and yes, I should be working XD )
...is this loli??
my new fave stores as of right now:
Urbanito
This store sells furniture for little kids, but some of those armoirs and shelves would be really at home with the deco I'm planning for my apartment. They also sell small chandeliers. I should pay them a visit sometime!
Simple by Puro
A lot of their things are way too too simple for me, but some others would work with my deco. They've also given me the idea of getting me some fruit crates and painting them in pastel tones to use them as storage compartments. Oh, they sell them painted already, but they're like 12$ each, when I could get those crates at a market for like 2$ and paint them myself...
Estampa
They've some lovely embroidered products. I've my eyes on some nice hand towels embroidered with chandelier motifs.
L'Occitane en Provence
I mean really! The very name has Provence in it! How could I not like it for no reason? For the longest time I've been meaning to go into that store, it just smells so good!! but I had no valid excuse and I wasn't about to shell out 40$ for a tiny lotion (it's a matter of principle); however, today I finally had the chance to go there, cos I was buying a present :)
That sure set me back a few $$, but they gave me free samples and that makes me stupidly happy.
More, tomorrow.
Fran, I remember what gleeba was and where it came from, but where did we get 'Weed'? I know we clowned around with that word for a while and we even made an icon...but I can't remember for the life of me how that came to be, where was it from??
...uh, I feel a bit bad for sharing nonsense with you guys, but if I didn't, this LJ would be just about random shopping o__o
Rob and I have never braved the hordes to join them at the bar. We didn't think we were entitled to, but our boss told us we're included in every activity...however, we don't dare! We still feel a little (a lot) like outsiders...
I'm gaining some serious seniority here, lol
Anyhoo, I went shopping yesterday, very random. I suddenly decided I wanted a loose fitting boho top. I really like the one I found...pics later! Cos I also got random stuffs like a princess crown pen XD, a Hello Kitty make up bag (waaaahhh, stop it with all the HK!!), slippers, a camisole and instant snow (yes, instant snow)
I've also gotta show ya the new charm I added to my DS.
Pics later!!
Let me elaborate; to me, a girl-crush is the fakest type of crush, cos it's the shallow(est) kind. You just idolize (and idealise) someone you meet, without getting to know them properly (or ever wanting to, for fear of destroying your girl-crush)
The guy may be married for all I care, but the thing is...I'm completely obsessed with his hair. It's grey. Like, salt and pepper. And he's not old at all! I mean, he looks young, maybe my age, maybe a bit more (or even less!); on any other guy (an old guy) I wouldn't look twice (unless he was George Clooney, I suppose), but on such a young man...it's very fetching and from day one I've been obsessed about his hair...I don't even know his name nor do I care. Although he's very polite, he was one of the only ones who said hello from the beginning and never treated us like scraps, ya know. Today I offered him an ice cream sandwich, and though he declined, he wasn't all fussy about it.
I'm inclined to ask his name, but I'm afraid it's all gonna be downhill disappointment from there.
So just leave me alone and let me have my girl-crush XD
No one likes a big mass of depressive, moping self-pity. So if you want any friends, *don't* be that person. Be cheerful, be positive. Face your biggest problems with an even bigger attitude. Don't settle for being that pathetic emo girl who thinks nobody loves her and keeps yappin'about it until someone bites the bait, cos the attention os addictive.
Ya'll can be so much more than what you are. I'm not saying 'be OK with everything', I'm talking about acceptance. It's one thing to think 'shitOMG, there's SOOOOO much I hate about myself, bawwww', and another to think 'I may have to work on this and that, but I'm OK with who I am'. Love yourself not for your flaws, but despite them.
Else you'll just wind up alone and wondering why the hell you don't have any friends and posting crap on Secret communities. I'm SO sick of emo secrets. And emo posts. Not that there's that many on my Flist (thank god), but if you post some drama, it better be something goddamm serious like your pet dying, or at least somewhat entertaining (like funny comm wank) XD
I don't mean to sound so terribly judgemental, but how else can I get my point across that isn't overly sweet and melodious. Shit just wouldn't be right.
So my boss saw the work I did last night, had a few thoughts about it, made me correct some details and prepare a couple more versions and then (after asking me why was I so sleepy) she told me to go home and get some sleep. Woohoo, cos I didn't have to go to that client meeting I didn't wanna go to ^^;
I got here and mom was visiting, so we all went out to lunch. She said it was way more awesome to go to sleep with a full stomach, lol. Lunch was great. Then I had an ice pop and hit the sack.
I woke up at 8 PM, incredibly disoriented. It was still light out, I had a bit of a headache and it felt like I had slept a lot, so for a second I panicked and thought çrap, I slept through, it's friday and I'm uber late for work!!!!', but I checked the clock on the DS and it said it was still thursday ^^
So I watched some TV, ate something, took a bath and now I'm here uploading some music on my mp3 player and I'm going back to bed XD
Well, at least all the big stuff at work is done, right? Actually, I don't know. I've no idea what things I'm supposed to do next, lol This is how this work is...well, this is more like who am I, really, lol I never know anything! I'm so clueless.
But I feel there's nothing urgent, so I won't have to work late these next few weeks.
