First off: [livejournal.com profile] monkeyman, I got your package! ::tackleglomps:: Thank you SO SO much for my lovely ornament & all of those lovely sweetheart candies! (I love them, I will not lie!) & I was quite enamored of the wrapping - you remembered my love for all things cherry print! I had to open it really carefully so I could save it, you know. But OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! ::glomp::

♥♥♥

Um. Folkies, loves, snugglebears & fangirls.

Guess who has a birthday coming up in . . . eight days?

Why yes, it's the Betsyshaped thing! Yes, my nineteenth birthday is coming up next month on the sixth. Meow, another year, another age, but teehee, I'm not so anxious about it anymore. Mostly because I'm getting a new phone that I'm really excited about, buuuuut . . . Whee, one year closer to being twenty! Gah, I'm so old.

But yes indeed! I can has birthday next month! ::bounces about::

♥♥♥

O.my.god. you won't believe what I managed to make myself do today. I went up to Anubis Warpus to get a couple of zines, one of which I'm sending to [livejournal.com profile] monkeyman & one I've been wanting to read for a couple of weeks. Since I found out that they do sell zines, I've been wanting to ask how they take them, but I've been a little too shy/intimidated to do so. But when I was in there, a couple of guys came in & one of them was dropping off his zine. I hung around for a bit & then when I went to pay, I finally just asked how they took zines. Surprisingly, it was easier than I thought & I wound up giving the nice fellow behind the counter three copies of my second issue.

I'M BEING SOLD IN A REAL BRICK&MORTAR STORE HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO.

PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY BUY MY ZINES IN A REAL SHOP.

I AM SO VERY PLEASED WITH MYSELF RIGHT NOW.

♥♥♥

Tonight's been a nice night. I washed my hair, painted my toesies up nicely & am about to straighten my hair out, all while watching Stargate SG-1. (yes, I'm studying Vala's hairstyles while drooling over her & Cameron. O, GOOD NIGHT. ::licks Vala & Cam:: DUDE, THAT ACCENT. ME.OW.)

& speaking of hair & Vala Mal Doran, this morning I was talking to my mummycat & we got on the topic of Amy Winehouse & her AWESOME hair. Now, i don't listen to Amy Winehouse (yet), but I've heard some of Back to Black on [livejournal.com profile] yasolo's iPod & I think her hair & tattoos are FUCKING AWESOME. So I asked Mother if she thought she could try giving me either Amy Winehouse or Aeryn Sun hair for my birthday. Then I brought up how similar I thought Amy Winehouse looked to Claudia Black & showed her a couple of pictures. She agreed!

(& in the same vein, I've always felt that Amanda Tapping looked a bit like Liz Phair, but that could totally just be me.)

Going to play with Vala!piggytails tomorrow - I kind of failed at them today. I blame my lack of visual aids, my hair in general & the timeframe I was working in. Also need to pay a visit to my stylist soon to get the bleached bits of my bangs chopped off.

Watching Bounty now & meeeeeep, I am so in love with this ep & Vala's hair in it! She's got PERFECT Gal hair, as agreed upon by both myself & [livejournal.com profile] lost_little_nat.

OMG I NEED SOME CAM/VALA NOW.

♥♥♥

Okay folks. Perfect Riverdress, am I right?

Yes it has no back. BUT. It's almost the exact colour of her Miranda dress & if I remember right, she DID wear a backless dress toward the end of Serenity. Hmm.

Okay, off to straighten my hair! ::flies away::

The whole college thing... GJ's crashing and LJ got new owners, so I figured I'd give it another try. And, you know, be around to watch and spam if it goes to hell again. XD

How you doin'?

::snuggles & makes you peach tea::

Mew, I am down with that & I'm glad you're giving Douchewaffle Central LJ another shot.

I'm good, right now I'm answering comments & straightening my hair while I watch some SG-1. Beyond that, I'm pretty shiny!

Ooo, I'm thinking of hosting a comment/spam party in my LJ for my birthday. Think you'd drop by? :D

Of course! I have a special place in my heart for comment spam. Mwahaha.

Douchewaffle Central seems pretty accurate. But you know, the new owners ARE Russians. Could be fun!

Thank you, Comrade LJ.

Ahahaha, I gave myself an Amy Winehouse beehive one time. I posted some pictures in my LJ. I started off as Penny Piggleton, then slathered on some heavy black eyemake up red lipstick and started rocking out to Rehab.

I LOVES HER HAIR, SRSLY.

I lurve them.

I don't know if I'm right but I feel like Tara wore them in an episode of Buffy once, and then I really started wanting them.

19 soon, eh? Well I'll save the Happy Birthday for the actual day then. And...heh... I saw yer crossed out comments... Think you're gettin' old? Try 30... that will be my age on the 25th. *grabs cane, tries to disguise old lady hobble as she walks about*

Yay, I'm not totally crazy then! :D

Ah, I just LOVE Vala's hair in just about every episode. & I adore Aeryn Sun's hair too. Claudia Black's just my hair idol! ^___^

Mew, I can't help but feel so OLD! XD I can't imagine how I'll be feeling when I actually make it to twenty. :P

& ISH NOT A BAD MANIP! Ish a CUTE manip! ::hugs snuggly!Cam & Vala::
