I Caught a Bulbasaur

Today started off pretty well. I got up, went to the mall and met up with Marlon to format my flashdrive for the ITG machine. I played one round by myself and got mostly A's. I don't really like playing on my own though, when ever I play on my own I have to keep in mind that if I fail I wasted my money so I always pick the same songs. Then I played with Marlon and we played the songs on his flashdrive, I failed all of then =/. Most of the songs on his flashdrive are rather hard. I'm kind of stuck right now at this point were I can pass some songs on medium but most songs I still cant yet easy feels well to easy.
Then I decided to take a risk and spend one of my dollars in a claw machine. There was a bulbasaur just sitting on the top of a pile of other stuffed animals (most of which were new pokemon) right in the middle so I decided to go for it. I got it!
One time I saw a show where a man took a claw machine a part and inside of it was an air pump and who ever had the key to that machine could change how high the pressure was set. If the pressure was set to low it couldn't pick up anything but if it was high it could pick up extreme amounts of weight. I think everyone should have this information.
I wish I had a magical key that could unlock all claw machines, then I would run around and turn the pressure up on all of them.
Now bulbasaur is on my bed with pikachu and meowth and scruffee (won for me at the carnival by marlon) and wilbur (also won at the carnival by marlon).
Then I went to playto's closet (a used clothing store) and bought 2 dresses, a pair of shoes and a vest. I always look up the brands of the dresses I get from there when I get home. This brand was called Olive des Olive and I discovered its from Japan! so this is the 3rd dress I've bought from there that was foriegn. I love knowing that chances are I'll never go to the mall and see someone with the same one.
Not much happened after that other than that I finished reading The Nature of Jade. Now I can begin the book I checked out on Italy.

I've got a ticket to wonderland =]

The boots I had my brother order me came in today, they look purple in this picture but they're really dark brown. I like them alot.

I actually took pictures in the pants I made today but I decided I'm not going to post them until before or after I see Alice in Wonderland because thats what I'm going to wear when I go see it.

I haven't really seen any movies right after they've come out. The closest I've seen is over the summer when I went and saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince but that was still about two weeks after the movie came out. I went and pre ordered my tickets to the midnight showing on March 5th (technicly the 4th) I'm going to bring a friend with me so I bought two. I can't help but wonder how busy it will actually be since thats a school night, I'm sure it will still be busy. I'm really excited, I'm kind of going to dress up. I'm probably going to see it with my friend Anna it just depends on if she can skip school the next day or not. I watched the London premier on facebook earlyer but I kind of watched it on and off. I really hope its a good movie, it looks really good and I just hope it doesn't dissapoint. I've noticed when it comes to the Alice in Wonderland movies on my marathon I almost always love them or dislike them. I mainly dislike ones that are sort of boring. I'm really excited =)

Alice through the Looking Glass (1998)

Alice through the Looking Glass was a low buget adaptation of Through the Looking Glass made in 1998. I thought it was beautiful and wouldn't have had any idea it was low budget other than that people kept saying it was made with a low budget. The scenes were bright and I thought the characters where done really well. I never actually finished reading Through the Looking Glass so I can't really say how acruate it was to the book but it seemed acurate to me. It kind of reminded me of the Wizard of Oz in some ways like how Alice was actually played by an adult (Kate Beckinsale) and how colorful everything was. The only thing I didn't really understand was why her hair style changed in almost every scene, I guess it just kept it interesting.
It was like a big game of chess and each square had different characters in them like Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, The White Night and The Wasp in The Wig. Then if Alice made it to the final square she got to become a queen.





(Its a bread and butterfly =)


I really enjoyed this film. Its become my 2nd favorite Alice in Wonderland themed film (the first being the SyFy's Alice) and I would definitely recommend it. Its on youtube if you want to check it out.

New Coat in the snow

I took Some pictures in my new coat today


Today was pretty uneventful the most I did was go to Kmart to look at couches and futon.
I really want to replace my bed, I've had like this obsession for a long time with having as much space in my room as possible. I have a medium sized room but I don't know its like I've just always wanted a bigger one so one example is I found a way to organize my jeans in my closet so I could get the dresser taken out of my room and a futon would take up less room then my bed.
Anyway there isn't much else to talk about.

Fail Weekend

This weekend was pretty fail other than Friday. It wasn't that anything bad happened except that it snowed Friday night and all day Saturday and by Saturday evening it wasn't really safe to drive. I don't have much to say about this weekend except that I finally got a new coat. I'll try to take some pictures in it tomorrow.
My room smells like caramel and coffee right now because I'm burning a candle. I basically watched Xena and Doctor Who all weekend. On friday I went to the mall and hung out with Angelica, K'si, Percy, Marlon and Corbien. Then I went and hung out with Marlon and Corbien and then this snow storm came.
I went to my grandma's today to sew, we are almost done with the pants she's teaching me to make. I can't wait to wear them.
Ok so the due to my lack of things to talk about I've got an idea. Alice in Wonderland is coming out in twelve days, so everyday for the next 12 days I'll be writing reviews on Alice related things (movies, art, The Almost Alice albumn, etc.) probably mainly various movies though.
Tonight I'm going to start with the origanal Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland.
I'm going to go do that now so I'll post again later =)

Sometimes I go whole days listening, bored, half sleep. I won't say anything that's worth a thing to me.

I actually like to be tired. I can't really explain why. I like putting my head on the pillow and falling fast asleep. Though I prefer my tiredness to be caused by actually doing something like doing something fun with friends or for example when I went to Rock the Light (a concert) that went from 1 to about midnight for two days and was in another city (we went, came back home, went,) and I couldn't even stay awake for the car ride from church to my friends house, she couldn't either. Lately its just been caused by my very messed up sleep schedual (example: me blogging right now at almost 1 in the morning) I really need to get on a better sleeping pattern you know go to bed earlier get up earlier. That was one of my new years resolutions and for a while I was actaully doing kind of good. I get up at almost 11 am. I think I'll do better when spring starts because I love being outside on nice mornings. I actually spend a good deal of time outside almost everyday as long as its above freezing and not raining, not because I have to but because I love being outside and I'm not going to let the cold stop me. I love nature and observing it like looking at trees and trying to notice something I didn't notice before like I don't know the pattern on the bark maybe and how it goes. I just enjoy observing things. I read this book once that talked about inner peace and being happy and it talked about enjoying little things like looking at a tree and how good a job its doing of being a tree. It sounded alot better how the book worded it but anyway. I really can't wait for spring, I'm building this collection of skirts and dresses. I still wear them even though its winter I just think they'll look better against green grass and forest rather than snow and mud. I can't wait to go on walks in the forest trails and take pictures again. I like my new photostudio set but I feel like there is no better background then nature. But yeah I really do need to sleep better. I really don't like sleeping, I always feel like its a waste of time but I guess we have to sleep to live so.....
Today was actually really nice outside, it wasn't to cold so I spent most of my day outside. Then I went in and got ready to go to my granny's. I think I'm finally getting curling my hair with a flat iron down:

I've also been experimenting with lipsticks and lip gloss. Anyone that knows me knows I never wear lip gloss or lipstick but I wear alot of chapstick. I've never really understood lipgloss because I don't really understand why people want shiny lips, it just seems weird to me plus I always think it feels uncomfterable and sticky. Maybe thats just me. I understand lipstick alot more though I still think its sort of uncomfterable so I blot it alot after I apply it. I have this pinkish red color so I wore it today. I actually have alot of lipsticks for someone who never wears lipstick.
Today I asked my granny how old Ozwald is (the big silver owl necklace) and she said it was her's when she was in her twentys meaning its over sixty years old. This amazes me when I look at it. I imagine how much history its been through (even though it probably spent a good deal of its years in her jewelry box) its was here before the internet.
Here are some pictures I took yesterday with my new camera, I don't really like my new camera yet but I think that has more to do with the fact its just going to take alot of getting used to and figuring out than that its actually a bad camera. I also found out it takes a diffrent kind if memory card than I own so I need to buy a new one soon.
Here is the song my title is from btw:

Its Wensday 1:04 AM and I am so tired.
I just finished re cleaning my room, fun? not really but after a while it gets necessary.
This blog might be a little shorter than I origanally hoped because I now have a headache and would love to crawl into bed and sleep, but I feel like "hey I've written everyday since I signed up" so I will write anyway. I'm not saying I plan to blog everyday but I actually did some stuff today.
Shortly after I woke up my parents and I went to my granny's. I wore the new owl necklace I got on Saturday and my granny noticed it and said she had a few necklaces that looked like owls that I could have.


I really like them, the one in the middle is my favorite its about the size of my hand. I think I'll name it Ozwald. She also gave me the necklace to the left, its really old and it was hand painted by a friend of hers. I think they'll all get some pretty good use.

Around 7 I went to the mall with my friend Angelica, it was a pretty last minute desision but I was able to go. She bought two knit hats one in electric blue and one in black. I want to go buy some before the sale is over. I forgot my money. She also got me a chocker, nail polish and a necklace that says love in this buy ten items for ten dollars deal because she could only find seven items she liked. We didn't stay all that long but we had fun.

Then I started cleaning. Its so tiring but worth it, whenever my room is clean I feel so much more calm. I just lay on the floor and read. I really need to finish reading all my library books so I can take them back.

I'm going to go to bed now, I'm to tired. Goodnight.
