Sydney and Japan Haul

This is on another topic but I thought I would start having a wardrobe Wednesday where I make a post about either a piece of clothing I have, a type of clothing as a whole or an outfit that I like. I have no sense of taste when it comes to putting together outfits but I enjoy getting the items and diying them. I think it will be interesting to see if I can actually start making good coordinates so look forward to that.

Okay, as you know, a couple of days ago I came back from a trip overseas, I went to Sydney and Japan. These are most of the things I bought, price for everything altogether is at the bottom of the post. (All photos from my phone)


 These are the clothes and stockings I bought: (Starting from top left) 3/4 sleeve shirt with a bow made of sequins, cute olden day looking shirt with lace patterns, short sleeve dress with a busy city theme of apartments, street lights and cats on it, cupcake monster shirt, 3 pairs of stockings/tights (one fishnet, one triangle lace design, one alice in wonderland nude) and last but not least a grey vest because vests are nice.
(The print of the nude Alice in Wonderland stockings above, I like it)

 Items in this picture are: (starting from top left) Berserk: The Golden Age Arc part 1, Nabari No Ou official character book in Japanese, Blood + part 1 manga, (In the top right corner) Code Geass bag with 6 badges (Vincent Valentine, Sephiroth, Death the Kid, Uchiha Sasuke, Izaya Orihara and Shizuo Heiwajima), Gabumon from Digimon plushie, Skeleton Jack plushie, Uchiha Sasuke plushie, Pikachu plushie, (little items) Entei and Groudon from pokemon figurines, 4 food rubbers, a weird rubix cube type thing and a little red alarm clock.

And the price was......

AU$30 for everything

That is the wonders of SALVOS, Lifeline yearly book sale, second hand stores, discount bins, bargains and haggling.
As you can see I adore plushies and badges, can't be helped.

Hope you have a good day/night (It is raining none stop where I am so that is quite nice),

Random ramble the 100th

I think I'm going to give up even trying to make friends with people face to face anymore. Apparently I'm scary, weird, nerdy and a freak though I do find those words funny they weren't said in a teasing way. I'm short, have a boyish haircut and have more muscle than most people at my school so people assume I'm either a bully or some kind of fighter. Weird? That's a normal one for me and nerdy I think is because I wear anime shirts and boys shorts even though I'm a girl. I don't find mini shorts and dresses comfortable so I don't wear them but when everyone else wears them you tend to become an outcast for choosing otherwise.

I find it easier to make friends at first when they don't see what you look like so they can't exactly judge you based on appearance. I have a lot of friends I have met online and through penpals and I tend to last longer in them then real life meetings.

Ocarina of Time

No I don't have the ocarina from Zelda, but I do have an ocarina. It arrived the day I came back from my half brother's house (but that's another post story) and I have been playing it non stop since. I named it Ren for no reason other than I give names to every object that means anything to me. I like the colouring of it which is a marbled green.
This is Ren


I knew absolutely nothing about ocarinas so before I bought Ren I did some research. There are a few types of ocarinas, mine is a 12 hole sweet potato and it's sounds pretty much like a recorder. I have played a lot of songs so far including concerning hobbits and lilium but I still have a while to improve. It's an easy instrument to learn and good fun to play.

The drawing board

After looking at a blog: Lesthi (hope you have a good marriage) I decided I wanted to start blogging some of my drawings. I'm not terribly good and I can never draw what I want to so I just let it flow. I mostly draw anime and manga characters but sometimes I draw other things as well. Most of them are just sketches.

This is from when the game Slender first came out (I'm not very good at camera angles or lighting yet so sorry for the bad pictures)

This is Pain/Pein from an anime/manga called Naruto 

This started out a neko girl but then I decided I wanted her to be a dog but I have been told she looks like a bear girl.  Random floating ice cream in the background.

I hope you like them and if anyone ever wants me to draw something in particular I'm open for requests though they might not turn out like how you asked. 


11, 12 and down we delve

Sorry to my lovely followers but you can expect to have some rants about nothing important over the next couple of days. They will be all music and finding the meaning of life kind of topics so feel free to ignore them.

I think I should be crying but I haven't cried since I was 6, I've been to 11 funerals but no matter how close or far away a person is to me I never seem to cry or feel sad. Maybe I'm not capable of being sad anymore and it just builds up into a rant on this blog who knows? I get angry easily maybe it's because I'm a teenager, people are always asking if I'm depressed but I can assure everyone I'm not. I just have an unnatural obsession with avoiding people, watching anime, listening to music and reading books while trying to keep away from social contact. I could be a sociopath but I still feel guilt so I don't think that's the case. I was starting to feel excited as well about a holiday and now everyone expects me to just break down and bawl my eyes out. I'm not that kind of person, when I react to these events I become productive, I learnt German over the last few times it happened. A simple deviation in my otherwise unmotivated life.

Somewhere over the rainbow

I'm going to Sydney in 2 days to visit the relatives with my mum because she always drags me to these things. Apparently I'm not social enough and have to learn how express emotions rather than being so apathetic. I'm not apathetic I just have mental emotions rather than displaying them to people normally. I'm just a bit weird, also probably insane since I have this random voice in my head that tells me things that I don't even know. It happens quite often but I'm thankful that it is there sometimes.
 e.g Friend: I have a new favourite jrock band
Voice: Diaura
Me: Is it Diaura?
Friend: That's kind of creepy how did you know?

While there I thought I would get my hair cut a little like a boy's because I never do anything with mine other than cut it and put it in a pony tail. It's for pure practicality and at the moment the average temperature is 36°C   so that will also get rid of the scarf that is long hair. (This kind of haircut)





After that I get sent to Nagoya, Japan to have some 'quality sibling time' with my half brother before I come back here and go to school. I'm actually a bit excited because I haven't been to Japan in a long time and I miss it. It should also motivate me to concentrate more in learning the language at school.

Hope everyone is having a good year so far.

Alone was lonely

I talked to someone today, I tried to be caring and a good friend all they said in reply to me was:

I LOVE U THAT MADE MY HEART SHATTER INTO A JILLION PIECES CUZ IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST BURST CUZ OF LOVE

But all I could think was, I don't love you but should I tell you that? Or lie to make you feel better. I sometimes dislike getting tired of people, they just drain me but I want to be there for someone. I just leave and distance myself so I can stay alone. Alone is different from lonely and I'm not lonely but I like to talk to people. Once emotions get involved in their part I suddenly need to leave even if we were best friends. Everything they do will suddenly irritate me and I will just spend the next week with myself, my books and my music then be completely fine.

People don't understand that, they just think I still don't like them and am just trying to act nice to them. I think I will turn into a cat lady when I graduate from school because I like cats and they are a lot easier to be around then most people.
