9_9....

I feel like a big bloated eel. I've been eating too much salty food lately. I can't help it--salt is what I like!

We were planning on getting sushi tomorrow, but there's supposed to be this humongous snowstorm, and it's not worth dying over. It's a holiday anyway, so I guess I'll just sleep late and drink hot chocolate. I could sew a mini or standard SD outfit, or paint a 1/6 scale doll. Or read some more gory fairy tales. I think I could do a few of these things. Doesn't my life sound boring? ^___^

I think I burned my eyeballs while I was blow-drying my hair last night. I have wavy to curly hair, but it's fine, and it behaves itself a lot more when I blowdry it straight. Unfortunately, my hair is so long now that the hair-dryer would overheat and shut itself off if I tried to dry it sopping wet. I wish I could hack it off! My regular hair-stylist is having some health problems, and she won't be able to take appointments for 5 weeks. I've gone longer than that before (much longer!), but still....Mom had some barber-woman cut her hair at work. (They have those kind of people in hospitals??) She says that for what I would need done I should do the same thing. I say no no no! Mom made me cut her hair once. It was just a trim, but I did a pretty bad job. I wish I could have a cute little haircut, something stylish, but my hair is too thick and my forehead is too low for bangs. I can't do anything with my hair. I swear I break a sweat every time I comb it.

Heh heh heh...I've never even dyed my hair before. I guess that growing my bangs out when I was in high school was the only "risky" thing I ever did. When I think back to how I looked when I had bangs, I want to cry. Some little punk in elementary school once said I looked like a sheepdog. Oh well. I don't know what that girl is doing now, but I hope she's dead! O_O

Yes. It's about that time of the month.

Got some more of those mango ice cream mochi! I haven't had any yet, because I'm not really in the mood for sweets. (Read: I had two desserts today already). The Whole Family went together to visit Grandma on her birthday. I had lightly suggested to my father that if he and Mom were going up to see her Kristen and I would come along, but somehow my brothers got roped into going too. All six of us crammed into one car...it brought back unpleasant memories of summer vacation when we were kids. We brought Grandma a black forest cake, but it turned out she already had a cake. ^_^;;;.....The visit was fairly uneventful, but at some point my aunt showed my sister and me these fairy statues she had bought somewhere, and said she thought they looked like us. They were pretty statues, but the noses on them were HUGE! 6_6...And then she told my younger brother that she saw another fairy statue in the store that looked like him in a wig. I'm assuming it was female O_o....

My grandmother and aunt like a lot of strange things. My aunt in particular can be very child-like in her tastes. It makes me think that I'm a pretty boring person! ^___^;;; I have a hard time showing any real enthusiasm about anything I like unless I'm with someone that I know shares my interests. It must be neat to be able to turn people on to things just by being into them yourself!

No one is bidding on my two little auctions! I'm going to explode with anger!

Owie.....

Today it snowed like a big storm. I hear it's still snowing! Because it was a holiday, there was no school and the town didn't even bother sending out plows. I didn't realize that was the only thing keeping the roads clean! How pathetic. Everyone was hanging around the house, and it was pretty hectic. I stayed in my room for several hours sewing a mini SD outfit that I'm going to put up on eBay tomorrow night. I know I said my next outfit would be for a standard SD, but somehow I felt like making one of those little fairy-type outfits ^_^;;.....I used pink eyelet this time, with peach lace trim and a cream-colored ribbon lacing up the front. It wasn't that hard to make, but it took me an unbelievably long time! I wasn't sure how peach lace would match with light pink eyelet, but together with the ribbon the effect is pretty nice. It has a strawberry/peach ice cream look to it. I wish I could keep it! I'm sure I have enough materials to make one for Kristen's Saffron.

My next course of action will be to make some kind of light blue knit turtleneck sweater for a standard SD, and pair it with an A-line skirt. Have I been playing too much Pop'N Music 5? ^__^ I already made a cardigan out of that material for Fuuka. It came out a little big,but it looks very comfortable!

I'm not impressed by Azone's March selection. They're releasing a new doll, but I figure, for $70 I can buy two Volks wigs, or a pair of Zoukei-mura eyes! I also might want to buy myself a new comforter for my bed--my current one looks gray and nasty!

I had kind of wanted to go out and shovel today, but my brothers and father ended up doing it. I think I could use the exercise! I haven't had a problem with my weight for a long time, but I've been eating way too many sweets lately. I'm used to never eating dessert--dessert for me should be more dinner! When I was younger I used to crave carbohydrates all the time, but now I seem to like protein more than anything. I've never had a sweet tooth, but when the dessert is something pretty and fancy I have a hard time resisting it!

Last night, I burned the roof of my mouth eating a Chicken and Chile Verde burrito from Trader Joe's. Those things can retain a lot of heat!

The Grimm's Fairy Tales are starting to depress me. I've been reading from a section titled "Religious Stories for Children" and they're all filled with mothers and their children bleeding and dying with flowers held piously in their hands. There was also this story called "Children Who Played at Slaughtering" that completely grossed me out--it was about a group of kids who saw their father slaughtering a pig and decided to reinact the whole event on each other. It reminded me a lot of this story I read in Spanish class about these autistic kids who saw their maid slaughtering a chicken and ended up beheading their little sister. God..it is amazing how these stories can ruin my mood for hours. And yet...I keep reading them. Like a masochist.^__^;;
