VERSUS

i love Janna's very devious look in the GRIM alley picture, and Brianna looks so menacing. In the cheerful alley they both look...um...crazy.


um did we do something wrong?

gramma says she's hopping into bed with george michael

I worked the morning shift, then got bubble tea with Lanka (after a little Japanese lesson). I also bought a beret. We arrived to youth group hearing shouts of "traitor! traitor!"


Today i wore my Holiday&Music hoodie, a plaid skirt, black+gray OTK socks, and my my Japanese newspaper Vans. Quite the Melissa-default outfit for a time. But, now wearing sneakers with a skirt looked pretty weird to me, though it used to be my usual way. Loli has adjusted my shoe perception it seems. I even had on my old red Skechers for a while but they're really just too far gone to work with lace-topped stockings and a fairly neat skirt.

As much as i want these and these and these (sigh) and these, i really probably ought to get new tennis shoes.

BABY's got a new coat. I like that print but holy cow it's expensive.
I know, i know, small group. I'm really just making a point about tennis shoes.

Watch Out

The Silliest Sister

I'm babysitting today.

she IS still here!

I want to write something in here but i'm struggling with having anything to say. I went to work and a lady took a photo of our cafe. And i went home and went to sleep. And i woke up and wrote the story and then Hannah and Laura called and told me to come over right now and i said NO! and they said YES and i said is there food? and they said yes and i said ok so i did and i ate too many marshmallows and painted my nails and we played with gel pens and listened to music and utilized glue sticks.

TA-DA!

look, i got a box in the mail. what could it be?
let's open it with the knife.

what's inside?

it's peanuts!

look, something else too!

it's rimsky-korsakov!

see how it brings illumination to my whole room.

the end.

boots

meta new boots
i don't like the enamel ones really but she's cuter in all these clothes than i thought any of these clothes were:

crazy sunset dolly..??

Today started badly. Actually it started with a low-quality version of "E-mail More" by Tommy February⁶ (sorry for the random anime video but that's the song) and i realized that my boss was calling me, and then that it was almost SEVEN and i was supposed to call her at 5:30. :( So we had a bad morning...

But the day got better and it was fairly busy. I did a long stupid survey and took a bath this afternoon so i wouldn't fall asleep and then went to youth group. It was fun but a little, oh, on the hyper side? However we did get the chance to try out, i think, every single Dodgeball Avoidance technique defined to date. Only i was a bit of a traitor and made Hannah and Janna come back after they made a rather nice escape early on in the game time. However it was amusing that both sets of twins were pitted against each other during the first game.

I'm sleepy.

lunes

Today i ran errands, made happier by a latte a paycheck and the fact that everything at the bank (where i had a bit of a dispute) went as well as could be imagined. Yay! So then i went to the other bank to do normal business and back home. I quite forgot that i had planned to do some housework today and was largely unproductive at home, except for a few letters i finally wrote and a phone call (in relation to the bank trouble).

My cousin just left; he brought Gramma some Burger King and they visited for quite a while. Hmmm...a really good milkshake sounds good right now. Maybe i'll get a bowl of ice cream. Do you think i could make a milkshake without a blender? I wonder...it'd have to be vanilla i guess...

A-P-P-L-E

How about this instead of myspace? poupee girl
ok funny name but it's much cuter.

Today my boss came in with the cutest little espresso cups -- ok, pretty much all espresso cups are undeniably cute -- but these have HEART-SHAPED saucers. They are darling.

I had to work beginning at 6 am, and i can't remember the last time i was up at 6 am (except maybe still up) so that was a little challenge. Getting up really wasn't that bad, because i woke with a shocked and panicked "am i supposed to be at work already what time is it??" at 5:30 and didn't dare get back in bed. But then, despite the very many coffees i had, i napped all afternoon.

Today is Lori Schmidt's birthday. Happy birthday Lori, wherever you are. And i think it's maybe not Schmidt anymore. (I remember her phone number too haha. I don't even know my Mom's phone number now.)

Hannah's petticoat story has given me a random idea to hold a writing contest, i guess among the l.g.? I haven't really thought out the details yet. I thought the grand prize should be a petticoat in honor of the story from which the idea came but i can't really afford one at the moment, even from In the Starlight. Hmm.

"If you have become bitter and sour, it is because when God gave you a blessing you clutched it for yourself; whereas if you had poured it out unto the Lord, you would have been the sweetest person out of heaven." Oswald Chambers

But, how do you "pour it out unto the Lord?"
