Tick tock

Clocks ticking,
and I've got a nice new necklace-clock!
It's really plain, but I still think it's beautiful.
Found it at a second hand store here in Kramfors, just 20sek! ♥


Tomorrow, I really need to start doing something.
8 (tomorrow, 7) days until I leave for Tokyo, and that means it's 5 days left until I go to Uppsala, where I'll be the days before I go.
I haven't done -anything-, haha.
Tomorrow I'll take pictures and put some stuff up for sales.
I'll sell like, 95% of my wardrobe.
Mom will take care of shipping the stuff to everyone, after I've gone to Japan,
so no worries there atleast!

Fancy lacy~~

I've finally gotten my laptop back!
It still has all it's annoying faults left(one USB-port isn't working, touchpad is wonky and the cable has a glitch. But hey, it's a laptop, right? They are bound to have some flaws after over a year of mishandling!)

Anyway, when I got back to my mother's house, my new nails and lashes were waiting for me!


These are the ones I wear right now, sooo pretty <3
I have a hard time adjusting to them right now, I'm not used to long nails,
and haven't worn falsies for years.
I've gotten used to writing on the laptop by now and using my lighter, and I am starting to get hold of my mobile. In many other ways I'm still handicapped. Like, opening the car door. Impossible!


Today, it's only 9 days left! I still haven't packed a single item.

Real life vs Cyber life

Haha, I realized this yesterday:


At Pupe, there's some furry pink boots..
They look like this:

(Close up)
They've been around for about a year, atleast.

Then, there's these boots from Liz Lisas autumn/winter collection..
They look like this:


Is it just a funny coincidence, or has Liz Lisa taken some inspiration from Pupe?

Traveeel!

Woo, I'm proud over myself!
I managed to book and pay for 3 bus tickets, by myself!
Also managed to choose the right dates and times, and see with the people I'm going to if the time is okay for them too XD
I never really do this kind of planned trips, but with the move being so close, I need to plan.

So! Tomorrow, I'll go to Sundsvall, where my father lives, and stay with him until Monday.
If I'm lucky, I might be able to persuade him into buying me some new makeup or something, after all, that'd be great! ^^;;

On Monday, it's off to Uppsala, and stay at Madde's place for a while. Buy the bag(huge travelbag I've wrote about), meet Lollo, and you know. Enjoy Uppsala.

Then, Friday, it's off to Växjö! I've been there once in my life, and my old and wonderful friends Zara and Gabi lives there, since 2 years, and I haven't even visted them! About time!

The following Monday, I'm going back to Uppsala, staying the night, and up to Kramfors again.

One of the best things is; when going to Växjö, I'm changing buses and have a little break in Norrköping, so hopefully Martin will be able to meet up with me at the station <3



I'm currently crossing my fingers, feet, eyelashes, eyes, legs, arms, boobs, everything, for that my laptop is done by tomorrow, and that my glasses arrive tomorrow!
I really want both of them with me on the trip, but I think I can just forget about the laptop.
I'm so mad that I allowed the computer to be left at that place for service. I wanted it to go to "Alina Systems"(like, the biggest computer-geek-fix-things place.), but my mother was all "Noo, this local place has reaally nice decorating!". Yeah, right. I don't care if their curtains match their sofas. It's been over a week, we got in there today, asked about the computer, got the answer "ehhh.. uhh.. we've ordered a new harddrive... don't know where it is though... ehh.."... oh, brilliant!
I really hope for it to cost more over at "red light systems"(the local place. catchy name.), than it would at Alina. Just so my mother can suck on it, haha. Alina said it'd take less than a week, and it'd cost 2000kr including a new harddrive. Red light system didn't even give an estimate of what it'd cost. Or how long it'd take. Gah.

Material heaven ~~

I've been shopping a bit the last few days..
So far there's down to,
new lashes
two sets of fake nails(i'll show pictures when they arrive!)
a blue jumper
white cottonleggings (it's getting chilly outside)
a pair of buffalo platforms
lipstick

and this wonderful dress!

I love it to a thousand pieces!
I'm thinking of making it a bit shorter, though.


And in other news, I've started eating diet-pills! Haha, my mom uses them,
so she shares them with me. Hopefully they'll work!

25days left!

WALL OF TEXT, and some pictures!

Oh, haven't updated in quite some time.
But, don't think I've been lazy! Au contraire!
I've done a hellalot. Or atleast some stuff.
I had a real powerday last monday, dropped my laptop in for service, went to the dentist (I have fab teeth, btw.), and went to the optician! Got myself a year supply of lenses, and a new pair of glasses!
The glasses haven't arrived yet though, but I'm expecting them to come anyday now, and I will surely show them off!
They're like a newer and a bit more modern version of my old blackrimmed nerd-glasses.

My homeboy came here too, so surely I've had my bit of slacking,
but being with him is a fulltime job sometimes, I've made so much Club Sandwiches this week I don't know when I'll be able to look at one again without feeling fatigue. My mother made club sandwiches the day he arrived, and he fell in INSTALOVE, so I've mastered the art of Sandwich making now.

We went to see a swedish hiphop act Saturday, that were playing here, and that night was insane.
It involved a really drunk finnish man, some even drunker skinheads, some policemen, afterparty with the "Band"(do you call hiphopduos a band?), and being seriously afraid of one of their crewmembers, a big black guy that constantly hit on me. Damn.
Good times.

In the spirit of DOING stuff, I'm chilling now, and started doing bracelets.
Need to get some more of them, I seriously blacked out for a moment, and ended up with 12 bags, but.. there's.. so.. much.. more...


PEARLS! PEARLS! I adore the little keys!


Ah, dice-pearls! <3

O btw, it's just 27 days left until Japan now. Yeah man!

Sweet tooth

Tonight, more people came to visit,
this time, they had brought cake!
(Lots of people come to visit and give mom and her husband gifts, since they are newlyweds.)

So, mom took out the fancy china and we drank coffee and ate cake!
Problem is, mom's husband, Lasse, is a diabetic.
Of course the guests had made sure to bring some sugarfree goodies for him,
but it wouldn't stop him from forcing me to eat cake!
I had already eaten two donuts wich he had bought for me,
so having to eat all that cake just.. Wow.. My tummy hurts so much right now.

Money money money

Wha.
I'm in a small village in the north of Sweden, visiting my mother and her husband.
Usually I get really tired of this place, and really fast, but for some reason that isn't happening this time.
I've been here for about 4 days, and I'm still not clawing the walls and wanting to get out of here!

It's really good for my economy, though!
I don't pay for anything, cigarettes, booze, food, and other stuff I want/need, they buy it for me.
Also, since drinking beer is a very popular thing to do in your free time here,
there's a LOT of cans! And, well, here in sweden, you recycle them and get money back(I was surprised to learn that sweden is one of the few countries that have that system.).
So, I've "pantat"(recycled for money) about 600 cans yet, wich has given me about 300SEK(roughly 4000yen), and tomorrow I'll do the last sacks of cans, which will give me a total of about 600SEK(~7000yen).
Not bad for like, half an hour of work, spread out on 5 days!

15 August 2009

Wah! 27th it is!

So, the planetickets are booked.
the 27th of September, we're going!
Insane, it's so soon!

Can't wait, however. I'm honestly sitting on my hands because I'm so excited I feel like dancing around 24/7.

Bagomania

Today.. this one came


I'm so in love I have no words <3 It was a real catch, too! It's a MILK bag, brandnew, with tags, retailprice: ~9500yen! I got it for a little less than 2000yen incl. shipping! I thought it'd be much smaller, but it's so big and roomy!

Me <3 Bag.
Seriously.

Leaders of tomorrow!

I'm a procrastinator, I really am.
And now, I've found a new thing to waste my time on!

Short anime episodes, about a kitten..
Ah...


I'm really supposed to be cleaning, or atleast sleeping, so I can get up early and clean tomorrow.
But oh no, more tea, and more kitties!

Keeping up apperances~

Yesterday I went to score some glue!
Eh, glue for applying false eyelashes, that is!
Bought some individual lashes too, to apply on the lower lashline~

I really liked how it came out!



Today, I bought a skirt~
I already have this skirt, but in pink, but I love it so much!
And nothing beats shopping when stuff aren't working out for you!


It isn't the style I usually go for(I'm all for miniskirts), since it's like down to your knee, but it's so comfy & pretty!

I guess my next thing to get is a pair of shoes or something.

07 August 2009

Nails, 'n.. stuff!


The X-files still haven't started. (It's airing laate)

Picture of my nails for the hell of it!
I like them!
They're nothing special, but still awesome.
The awesomeness doesn't shine trough the photo, though,
in real life they're alot more glittery and stuff, lilac x pink~

I really want to get some new nails, and new extensions, but I've putten all that on hold until Japan, I mean, what's the point of pouring out a lot of money on doing it here in sweden(by yourself), when you can get it a 100times better and cuter in Japan, for cheaper, and at a salon?

I'll get a haircut soon, though! Perhaps next week?
It'll be my first haircut at a salon ever, I've always done that myself, and before I could, my mother did, haha.
But I got convinced on getting it done professionally, to have a good base, get some layering done, and, well, revive my hair.
It hasn't been cut at all for a year or something.
I actually was planning to do this two months ago, but my hair was in such bad shape (oh, peroxide <3), I was afraid I'd loose all my precious hair to the cutting crazy hairdresser!
So two months of serious haircare later, I'll do it!


( I don't know why I label some stuff with gyaru. I guess it's in lack of a better label.)

Ponderings

There's still about two hours left till X-Files begin (damn swedish television and airing the good shows so late!)
So, let's blog!

When reading this entry over at Universal doll, I realized how little I have planned what to bring with me to Japan!
Like, bras! When I went to Japan earlier this spring, I wanted to look for a bra, but they were all too small for me, and now my bossum is bigger, so I already have problems finding bras in Sweden.
Also, deodorant, I had no idea? I'm not a big sweater, but still, I want a deodorant that does something more than just smells good.
I'm considering getting a curling iron before I go too, just because I really want a special one from Babyliss, haha.
Bleach is something my mother'll get to send to me, since I'm afraid japanese bleach would kill my hair so bad.
Lenses I've already decided to bring a year supply of, just because the ones I use now is so handy, you put them in, forget about them, and a month later you just take them out!


Well, atleast I'll get a new travel bag!
The one I use regulary is really small, and the one I used when visiting Japan weighted like 5kgs when empty! I've seen one at Åhlens, that is huge and pink, and really lightweight!


(This isn't the one)

06 August 2009

Phew

With the economic problems out of the way all of a sudden,
(a knight in shining armor appeared)
I can focus on the fun problems with Japan!

Like;
gyaru magazines!
I'll buy them, especially koakuma ageha on a regular basis,
but, a challenger appears! The boy I'm with gained a sudden interest in my ageha magazine last week.
What if he takes all my magazines? This is a serious problem!
Of course, it's awesome that he's interested, I was planning to sneak in some Mens Egg in his apartment, but, I too want to read my ageha!



Ah, I feel so relieved, getting to worry about small things.

Thunderbolt

It just hit me like a struck of lightning.
I'm moving to Japan next month.
Insane.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry!
I would never, ever, in a million lightyears, thought this a year ago.
Hell, not even 6 months ago.
But yet, here I am, stressing about finding fundings, about to move.
It's a dream come true, and I can't believe it's really happening.

All thanks to a song.
Without that song, by that band,
I wouldn't have written to that boy years ago,
I wouldn't have met up with him at concerts,
and then finally, about a year ago,
visit him and fall in love,
and do my absolute best to make this happen, now.

As the universe works in mysterious ways,
me and that boy will see that band in october,
perhaps even hear that song.
In Japan, after all those years.



I owe Art-School so much.

Progress

Whot.
Sent Spin a new picture for my visa yesterday.
I took a bunch (you were supposed to send in 6 pictures) in a photobooth,
but they weren't good enough according to the japanese people.
I'm really pale, + my hair is pretty much white, so white background + flash kinda made the picture .. white. It was like.. a wall with eyes, really.

But hopefully the really ugly picture I sent them now will do just fine.

Called the Japanese ambassy the other week too, it was awesome, the waiting music was gameboy music, and the woman I talked to was super japanese or something.
Found out we didn't have to have tickets back to sweden to enter the country! Yay!

22 July 2009

It's getting closer

I'm really starting to get nervous.
It's about two months left until we're going to Japan,
and still nothing is fixed, Haha.
I haven't sent in a photo for my visa yet (hopefully I'll do it tomorrow?),
I don't have the funding yet (bankloan power, activate!),
no plane tickets,
and no place to live.

Oh, it's going to be an adventure, definitly!
