So freaking tired!

I just came back from being in the computer labs at school for six hours. I really can't focus on doing work unless I'm there, I've found. Plus, the monitors are HUUUUGE!!! Compared to my tiny 13 inch laptop screen... which is impossible to do any design work on. Plus I only have 2GB of RAM so that makes things freaking difficult as well. Blahblah.

Anyway what I've been working on for the past few days is setting up my new website! It's still not finished yet, I have to reshoot/redesign some of my projects before I can put them up but... check it out!

yo my korean homies. you know i got mad love for you. but i just have to fucking complain about these other kids. i am so fuckin sick of these random international students that just come to america so they can go back home and say that they studied in america. stop continually wasting our fucking crit time in class with your "work" that you clearly don't even care about defending or not. language barrier aside, for real. you show up to class with NO CONCEPT, SHITTY LOOKING WORK (professor's words, not mine, seriously.) why are you even here if you don't care about learning?? now everyone else is twenty minutes late to their next class...

Oh yeah, remember my Facebook deletion post? Well, I can retract that. I made a new one a few months ago for the sake of convenience (actually mainly just because I need to communicate with people from my classes... like ask them what the homework is when I miss class >___>). But it's under a different name and I completely started over so I don't have any stupid baggage (ie. high school "friends") and weird photographic evidence of my past doing... so I guess it's a different experience. Sort of. =____=

i don't like valentine's day.

It's a stupid fake holiday made up just to emphasize consumerism in America!!!





Hehe but just because I don't want to celebrate it doesn't mean I won't accept gifts if they're handed to me. WOO!!! MACARONS!!!!

I haven't posted in a long time...

Not like anyone reads this anyway!!! But I was thinking about how I think I still need a real blog. Maybe just for myself. Tumblr is weird; I have friends on there who follow up with my life, but I can never get too personal over there since the sheer volume of content that's constantly flowing through peoples' dashboards means that it would be rendered irrelevant for the most part anyway. No one really likes seeing "this is what I did today!" posts on there. Or actually it's just that no one cares.

I guess I will also post for Eden since I stalk her blog to death but it's creepy because my blog is a total fucking desert.

So yeah, this entry is gonna be about me me me. I love me.

Huu~~ So lots of things have happened since I last posted! I guess I will just do a huge photospam (or not, let's see...).

My hair has changed like five times. Before I went to China this past winter break, I dyed it red. Or, I tried. Total fail, I hate cheapo Flushing salons, it actually turned this weird brown. Whatever, didn't look back. Dyed it again when I was in China MYSELF!!! and it was awesome. Lovely wine color... however I should have known that being blonde would cause problems. The color washed out in like three weeks and it turned this super surreal pinkish-blonde color... people in the streets stopped to ask me if my hair was real.
I had to dye it again when I got back... in fact I've dyed it twice since I got back... in the end I just got so tired of it! My hair was sick of it too. It got so brittle at the ends. So one day I just decided to cut it all off... and then a week later I dyed it black. And that's where I am right now!

Chibi Maruko Chan...

Kind of sad because, fuck, my hair was really fucking LONG. I never had hair that long before in my life! Because I was never patient enough... I guess?


This is probably when my hair was at its best. Exactly four weeks ago. Perfect color, perfect length... of course this didn't fucking last. Sigh. I had bought these nice curlers when I was in China, too. 


You just put them in your hair after towel drying and you can either sleep in them or just blowdry your hair with them on if you're in a rush... although it kind of defeats the purpose since (for me anyway) the reason you would use these is to avoid damaging your hair with chemicals or heat application.
Anyway, I loved having curly hair. Made me feel pretty. I JUST WANT TO FEEL PRETTY!!!

Yeah but, I'll have to put those away for like a fucking year before I can use them again since my hair is so short. I guess I like it though, it's a totally different look. Definitely different. I just feel like it's harder figuring out what to wear since I feel like I look so boy-ish with this cut if I'm not done up properly...
Ha-ha, well, I guess if it's one thing that has been consistent in my life it's my total inconsistency with hairstyles... just ask anyone who has known me since middle school. =_= 

Other girly stuff... Since I last posted, I got addicted to gel manicures. Fucking gel manicures. aka The most fucking expensive addiction in the world. 





And these are the ones I actually have photographic representations of. -_- I got them done in China twice for CHEAP!!! But I didn't bother taking photos since I was too busy worry about other things haha. Anyway, these manicures are at LEAST 50 dollars a pop each time... the leopard print ones up there actually cost me 73 dollars, HA HA HA!!! My mom said I was mad but I thought it was worth it.
Because:

  • a) they last up to four weeks, depending on what you do and if you're a psychopath like me and pick at your nails all the time... unfortunately I went crazy from something two weeks in and peeled them all off. Major regret afterwards, but whatever. They still prevented me from biting my nails for that period of time, which is something I've never been able to accomplish since I've had this bad habit my whole life...
  • b) they don't damage your nails, at all. Even when you freaking lift them up from your nail beds like I did... perfectly smooth and pristine underneath!
  • c) they strengthen your nails!
  • d) THEY ARE FUCKING CUTE!? 


I'm just upset at the moment since I haven't had enough money to get them done again since I last had them done... which was 4 weeks ago. They started lifting at the corners so I just went and peeled them off since I was feeling antsy, I guess. And then a few days later, one of my nails broke and that was the end... I can't stand having uneven nails so I just went and cut all my nails off because I am crazy. So now, my nails are naked and they are short and I feel ashamed to take my hands out, but what can you do. I just have to wait until I get paid again...my bank account is actually in the negatives right now, but I don't even want to talk about that. =_=

What a depressing note to end an entry on...
