If I know you in real life or have met you on an LJ community, just comment and I’ll add you!

Now me, Marissa, and Ilana are going to take the bus downtown and actually see the city we're living in.

The sun is shining...

For once, I'm kinda happy :)

I don't hate my suitemates, I just really can't stand them when I'm trying to get shit done.

Anyways, I got an A on my first university essay! :D I'm very relieved. And I'm going home tonight!!!

And shit, I think the ugly guys here are turning me lesbian, there's this really pretty girl I keep noticing at the dining hall.. really getting me frustrated. They're either really dumb, stoners, or pretentious. And they're all fucking short.

Ok, first of all, I should have listened to Julie, becase Dining Services SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't take more than 3 shifts, which adds up to only 8 hours a week. I have one shift cleaning tables and two in the dishroom. Cleaning tables is as boring as hell, but at least I stay clean. The dishroom, on the other hand.... EW EW EW EW. Washing dishes, not really that bad, right? No. It's hot and humid and loud in there, the full timers are bitter and mean, and I get food splattered all over me and I'm sweaty but I can't just wipe my forehead because my gloves are covered in shit and argh!! And if I'm not even making enough money to save for next year's tuition, what's the point?
I'm going to finish out the quarter, then I'm through. Totally applying to Barnes and Noble.

My suitemates party and get drunk, nothing new there.

Classes are ok, it's just that nerve wracking stage where you don't know how hard the teacher is going to grade. We shall see, I'm probably worrying over nothing, as usual.

Omg why didn't I choose UW? It's a better school and a few thousand dollars more doesn't matter in the long run. I know I gave my reasons, but were they just excuses? Did I make a huge mistake?

Just started on it tonight, and I'm still trying to pin down the general theme, but yeah.

And damn that subject/verb agreement in the first sentence is bothering me. Is "vintage clothing" singular or plural? I'm pretty sure it's singular... and no one will care but me XD

I had a mini-epiphany last night. I was thinking about how I often feel that lolita is too dressy for everyday life and feel like I'm already outgrowing it, and maybe I should give up the style even though I've already invested so much in loli clothing...

Then I realized that I don't want to wear lolita. Unless I'm going to a meetup, I don't want to put on a full outfit. I don't like knee socks or headbows or lolita shoes.

So here's the thing: I love MM, VM, IW, etc and I'll continue to buy their clothing and replicas, but I'm not going to wear full on lolita anymore. I'll be sticking to embroidery and screenprints, not OTP lace and ruffles. I love the "sexy librarian" look: cardigan, knee length skirt, vintage heels and jewelry. I'm going to incorporate lolita pieces into that.

And so what if it isn't lolita? So what if I'd be shot down if I posted the outfits to daily lolita? Honestly, I'm sick of the lolita community's rules and obsessive nitpicking. I'm sick of feeling ridiculous for wearing full on lolita to the grocery store one day and ripped jeans and a band tee the next day. Besides, during the school year I'm going to be way too busy and tired to get dressed up, and during the weekends all I'll want to do is relax.


So yeah... I'm not going to be defriending anyone or leaving Livejournal or anything like that. I'll just stop watching egl and daily_lolita, most likely.


It's strange... I already feel more free. It's a huge relief not to be contained by a label anymore.

I'm not a lolita anymore!

I think at least 3/4 of my friends list got one too, so you should go check! Even if you don't have one, it's nice to see all the love going around.

I'd just gotten up this morning when Fedex came with the jeans I'd ordered. I yelled at my brother to answer the door, but he was being stupid, so I had to open the door wearing my Wizard of Oz t-shirt and Anna House bloomers. The Fedex guy was really cute too. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED OMG.

At least I had a bra on lol
