Not going...

Jul. 4th, 2009 | 01:34 pm

So i've decided that, despite the fact that it's been a dream of mine to go on The Apprentice since I was 13, i'm not going to go to my interview after all for the following reasons.

1) Most importantly, the applications people have been really, REALLY vague about what the prize is if you do happen to win. I would hope that it's a job, like in the real Apprentice, but since it's only for Juniors i'm just not so sure. The e-mails and website say nothing. I really wouldn't want to have to put my whole life on hold only to walk away from it with a pat on the back and a gold star. Even if the prize is a job, it doesn't mention the salary, so it would probably be an intern-type coffee-making, errand-running thing with the prospect of moving up. Fine, but not exactly life changing.

2) As much as I love The Apprentice, I acknowledge that it is extremely gimmicky and I know that both the contestants on the show and ultimately the winner will be decided based on televisability (is that even a word?) and popularity - not skill. Case in point, most of the winners have (I think) not stayed in the job for more than a year or so.

3) It would interfere with my uni application and i've discovered a new-found enthusiasm for that after my trip to UEA. It was so amazing! 0_0 I really would love to go there, but the Creative Writing courses are depressingly competitive and oversubscribed.

4) They wouldn't choose me anyway, i'm much too awkward/ goofy/ ugly/ weird to go on TV and I like it that way xP

So as much as I would love to run around London as a frilly saleswoman, inventing and hawking ridiculously ill-conceived products, I think i'd rather follow the more conventional route to employment. Oh well...

Daily outfit - Magical Etoile and ramblings

Jun. 16th, 2009 | 10:51 pm
mood: content content

My much beloved, long awaited magical etoile jsk arrived in the post today. It's really, really gorgeous! 0_0 My favourite part is the carousel ponies in the lace and I really like the cut and all the little deatils. When I first tried it on I thought it didn't fit, but it turns out I was just having a blonde moment - the ribbon lacing in the back was tied too tight. Actually it fits fine, but I ended up wearing it over my corset today because I thought it would be too small otherwise, lol! xD

pictures )

In other news, i'm really angry that I probably can't go to the labour Party conference in october because I never got my National Insurance number before my 16th birthday... but maybe i'll be able to sort something out. I'm in the process of applying for one, but it's a little confusing. Oh bureaucracy...

~ It's my birthday tomorrow! yaaaay :D ~

General Update

Jun. 14th, 2009 | 08:22 pm

So... i've decided to start using my LJ more, since it's been pretty neglected up until now.

My exams went... really badly. xD But oh well, there's really nlothing I can do about it now, so i'll just have to wait until the results come back and then re-take whatever I need to, I guess.

In lighter news, it is my birthday in 3 days! Yay! I will be 17 (on the 17th, no less), which seems like a lot, but I guess it isn't really. A week after that, it will be exactly one year since I left for Japan, which is absurd as it seems like so much more recent than that. Hopefully it won't be too long before i'm back there.

With the help of Emilie ( thankyooou, baby) I deco'd up my new phone yesterday. I needed a new one because my last (which I had only had for a couple of months, mind you) decided to break. So i'm glad I didn't go to the trouble of decorating that one, lol. It was really weird, actually... the phone seemed perfectly fine (it switched on, could be used for texting, games etc.) but when I got a call or tried to call someone they could hear me speaking, but I couldn't hear them. Weird O_o Has that ever happened to anyone else? Anyway, onto the fun part!

cut for picture of my shiny new phone )

It doesn't photograph particularly well, but it's very cute in the flesh.
Also, I might start a lolita blog because I really enjoy writing articles and I think there are so many interesting loli-related topics that haven't been explored much really. I don't know, with some noteable exceptions, a lot of the loli blogs i've been reading lately have been cute and fun, but they're mostly pretty beginner-oriented and don't provide much more information or analysis of the fashion than a quick skim of the handbook or lolitafashion.org. That, or they're more like just personal blogs about the girl's daily life.

Do you ever feel like...

Mar. 25th, 2009 | 12:15 pm

Your body is trying its absolute hardest to be as hideous as possible? Not only have I tripled in size over teh course of less than a year, I also seem to have gotten taller (how is that even posssible? The growth plates in my legs have been removed!), and now my skin is getting dry and flaky as filo pastry, and my hair has been ginger ever since the pink dye failed to wash out. What did I do in a previous life to deserve this?

Hello,
Haven't updated in a while, but then I never do.
I realised today that i'd put on a crap ton of weight because my old baby OP wouldn't zip over my huge, manly ribcage until I forced it into submission by way of corset. This alerted me to the fact that things have to change, so as of today i'm dieting for the first time in what feels like centuries. Only I knid of slipped up and had a chocolate cupcake for pudding - I made a batch for mother's day and it seemed self-insulting not to eat my own cooking. They were rather delicious if I do say so myself. Well, anyway, once they're all eaten I can diet properly and try not to gorge myself perpetually with chocolate, cake, ice cream and general confectionary.

I'm kind of peeved with this whole doubling top-up-fees bollocks, to put it mildly. Thanks, a lot, now I can't even afford uni if by some miracle I did manage to get into one of the half-decent ones -_- lol

Might be going camping this weekend, not really sure, but i've been invited and it might be a laugh... Although I generally don't have a passion for the great outdoors, it's only Hollingbury or somewhere, not exactly the outback.

On another note, my dress came about a week ago! It's so amazingly pretty (omg the lace *_*) and amazingly actually fits my new heftier physique, but it really doesn't suit me, somehow. :/ I think I should experiment with different hairstyles a bit and find something more complimentary. I was thinking mayhaps a small bee-hive xD

Hello LJ,
This has been a good week. :DD
On Monday I went on a trip to Cambridge. It is seriously one of the most beautiful places i've ever visited. Like stepping into a fairy tale 0_0
It just made me want to go there even more for uni, which is bad as it's not gonna happen. Mum keeps trying to discourage me from applying, but she's I know just being invertedly snobbish. Times have changed - it's not all that full of old etonians any more. Maybe. Most of the students seemed fairly normal, actually, especially at the more modern colleges we visited. I think she just had a bad experience at Exeter because it's so full of Oxbridge rejects. Well, it's my life, anyway.
Tuesday and Wednesday were just normal days, really. I didn't do much out of the ordinary, but on Thursday I got my January exam results back. :DD Yay, 2 As, and 100% in my politics exam! Whoo! I didn't even finish the last 25 mark question properly, lol. I just bullet-pointed, but I guess they were good bullet points. So I am now on track for 4 As, what a relief! I think i'm going to drop psychology and take the Extended Project up next year because it sounds interesting, and 4 A levels would be too much like hard work. xD
I finally got around to sewing the applique onto my beret yesterday, it looks much better than I thought it would. So, yay, I can now officially sew. A little bit. Maybe. xD I'll go into town sometime in the week to buy the rest of the necessary materials to finish it off. I could do it today, actually. Hmm. We'll have to see <3

University Challenge

Mar. 8th, 2009 | 09:33 pm

So, I am now looking at unis and courses to see where I want to apply. I know it's a long way in advance, but I like to plan ahead and obsess irrationally about these things. I never use my journal, but I needed a place to put all my thoughts and ideas together, so deal. This is really for my own purposes, but if anyone has been to one of these unis or just wants to give me advice, please do.

#1
Cambridge
Course: English Literature
To sum it up: ZOMGZ Dreeeam Universityyy!1 - but unrealistic
Pros: Best education in Britain; brilliant lectures; great career oppurtunities (especially for things like publishing); stunningly beautiful campus; gorgeous city; not too far from Brighton and London; good bursaries; i've pretty much fallen in love with the place xD
Cons: Impossible admissions system; Entry exams; my GCSEs aren't that great so they most likely won't even interview me; scary interviews; no English & American lit. course; earlier application deadline; conditional offers very high (obv.); Jane Austen will probably be an inevitability D:
Difficulty of getting in: 10/10
Open Days/Taster Days: Trip tomorrow, Corpus Christi trip 30th/31st March, 2nd and 3rd July - Open days, 22nd September - King's college open day

#2
University of East Anglia
Course: American and English Literature OR American Literature with Creative Writing
To sum it up: Awesome-sounding American Studies courses, but not really rated academically
Pros: The American studies courses sound fab and really flexible; I could spend a year abroad in California or similar warm, exciting place; Cool Creative Writing Dept.; Not quite as scarily competetive as cambridge; I wantz teh year abroad; could live in SF and be near BtSSB (yes i'm ridiculous: using clothing stores as a deciding factor in which uni I go to); Near CadburyWorld lol; I could write an awesome thesis on Theatre of the Absurd (haha, not); Arthur Miller Centre = free monies if I get good A-levels; Year abroad; Did I mention the groovy year abroad?
Cons: Norwich probably isn't that fun to live in; Far away from home; parents will only visit on way to Aston Villa matches; Campus pretty boring; Not that high on good universities guide; Still competetive-ish
Difficulty of getting in: 8/10? IDK
Open Days: 3rd July, 4th Oct, not sure when else

#3
Warwick
Course: American studies or English Literature
To Sum it up: Prestigeous and cool, but the American studies course sounds too History Based.
Pros: Nice campus; academic; again - year abroad fandango; pretty cool place to live; prestige yadda yadda
Cons: American studies sounds too historically oriented, and I would prefer a more literary/cultural focus; hard to get in (harder than Oxbridge according to Oxbridge co-ordinator)
Difficulty of Getting in: 10/10 mebbeh, not sure
Open Days: 9th May

#4
University College London
Course: English
To sum it up: Sounds fun and cool, but with all As I could bullshit my way to Cambridge
Pros: Near-ish home; I could come back every weekend; prestige yadda yadda; Near Camden; convenient
Cons: All As? Ppfft if I get that i'll be laughing; Don't really want to live in London: dirty and full of rats and rapists (lol JK, chill out); They want a foreign language at AS - not bloody likely; No American-based courses; kind of snobby feel to it (or maybe that's just me).
Difficulty of getting in: 9.5/10

#5
Sussex
Course: American Studies
To Sum it up: Rent-free living makes me rich and happy, but boring universities do not. I'll reserve judgment until I get a closer look.
Pros: Year Abroad YAY; I can live with mom and pop and pay no rent (or very little); More money for brand lol; American studies course sounds good; Supah-convenient; following in footsteps of family and awesome teachers; will probably know lots of other people (is that a pro or a con?); mum will be chuffed as nuts
Cons: Can I really go from totally depending on family to total independence in a strange new country? Mayhaps not; Not challenging enough; Just doesn't really grab me

OK, i'm bored now. I'll add more possibilities later. Maybe. Like King's College and other such groovy establishments. Lol.

mood: chipper chipper

Well, college is going pretty good so far. That is to say, I like all my lessons and have nice, interesting teachers. I've made a fair few friends, but hiterto nobody i've gotten really close to, just people to talk to in lessons/ at lunch etc. That doesn't really bother me too much, though; I prefer having out-of-school friends because that way I appreciate it more when I get to see them. :)
Generally i've had good reactions to wearing loli full-time, well, better than I expected anyway. Most people in my lessons are pretty used to it now, although I still get stares walking around the campus and stuff. I know for a fact people talk about me behind my back, but I think that has to do with stuff that happened a long time ago as much as my clothes. :/ Srsly, get over it people.
In other news I ordered a coat from AP, hopefully it should get here soon, but if it gets caught in customs i'll be royally screwed as it cost close to £350 shipped since the exchange rate worsened! My poor moooneys T_T! Plus, I have no cash and neither does my mum so if I get charged another £100 or so, not only will I be angry, I will also be coatless D:. I hope the shopping service I used remembered to mark it down, I asked several times, but she seemed so busy that she might well have just forgotten.
I'm going to London a lot in the next week or so! Saturday i'm going to see Othello at the Lyric theatre (we're studying it in English Lit so I wanted to see a performace) which i'm majorly excited by, as things at the Lyric are normally amazing - I went to see Metamorphosis there and it was totally incredible, i'll probably go to Camden that day too, because I haven't been in so long and it's fuun. :D
Then on sunday i'm going to the Big lolita meet-up at the Tate modern. That's exciting because i've really never been to a meet up or more than about 7 or 8 people before, and that seemed like a lot of lolis to me! It's a little daunting, though, as I know almost nobody else who's going and i'm kind of socially awkward around new people, haha.
Then on wednesday there's a school trip to this history conference thingy, which might be a bit dull, but at least it's in Camden so I can go shopping again if we have a lunch hour.
Then on the following monday there's a politics trip to another conference in central London, which sounds interesting - it has people like Charles Kennedy, Jack Straw, William Hague, George Galloway (meow), Harriet Harman etc, etc. And I might be going on another politics trip to the houses of parliament sometime in the next 2 weeks, depending on availability. Yay! :D

I officially cannot wait until college...

Aug. 14th, 2008 | 08:52 pm

This summer has been too bloody long, as far as i'm concerned. As well as too wet, windy and cold. Aside from going to Japan, which was probably the best two weeks of my short life so far, I haven't really been up to much. I swore to myself that i'd learn to sew, do loads of writing, read all the classics etc, etc, but of course none of it happened. xD

Now all I want is to be back into a fixed routine where I feel like i'm, oh I don't know, actually accomplishing something. Seriously, i'm so terrible at self motivation. All i've been doing is stalking livejournal and brand websites, hanging with Biggan and playing Diablo II. Ooh well, that should all change soon (except maybe the Diablo II part, god I love that game, can't wait for Diablo III <3). Although I haven't recieved my results yet, it looks as though i'm probably going to be changing Art to Psychology (doss subjects ftw), and possibly history to Economics, I don't know for sure yet. I love art to pieces , but let's face it, I suck at it, and taking art will certainly do nothing to improve my chances of getting into a decent uni. It's just going to be such a heavy workload (The GCSE was enough!) that i'll be left with significantly less time to devote to my other subjects (Currently English Lit, Politics and Modern History). It's a shame to give it up, but hopefully i'll find the motivation to at least do a little in my spare time... Yeah, right. :/

In other news i'm off to Ireland tomorrow with Mum, Kim and Biggan. I pray it doesn't rain constantly, but at least I have Cat On a Hot Tin Roof to keep me busy, and Biggan has her laptop, so it shouldn't be too hard finding stuff to do provided the caravan site has wi-fi or we can hack in to a network or something. Hmm, I might look for something on politics in the WH Smith's at gatwick, but I think mostly they just stock sleazy sensationalist holiday novels there.

Birthday

Jun. 15th, 2008 | 01:45 pm

Yay! My birthday is in two days! ^.^ The big one six :) It's a bit of a shame that it's in the midst of exams, but actually not so bad seeing as the only ones left are graphics (which i'm going to fail anyway) and science (which is only 20 minutes long and basically a piece of piss). So, on tuesday my mum's taking me to this restaurant called Oriental Village, which does Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian and Korean food if i'm not mistaken. Yum, yum! We went to China Garden last year which was lush, but cost like £100 for four of us O.O, so I chose somewhere cheaper this year.

I've got a couple of cards already, and some presents from my dad which I haven't opened yet. He usually gives me money and something small to open. Mum, on the other hand, hates giving me money and really wants to get me something else. I don't usually mind either way, but this year i'd really appreciate money since i'm off to Japan a week after my birthday and want to spend it on frilly things. :)

Aaargh! Japan! I'm so excited! I've bought all the guidebooks/phrasebooks, booked the hotels, planned the itinerary... Now all I need is to get me some travel insurance. My dad's being a complete arse about that, though, saying he won't contribute towards it because apparently it's a 'waste of money'. Err, yeah, except if there happens to be a major earthquake and we need medical care, or we lose our luggage or something. :\ Well, I don't really mind paying for it, it's not that expensive, I just wish he wouldn't be so stubborn. Just because an insurance company screwed him over in the past, does not mean it isn't necessary. Gah.

Anyways, I need to get some more summery clothes before I go, like shorts and light tops and shit. I'm bidding on some nice Topshop shorts on ebay, and there's a light blouse in Miss Selfridge that I really love but it's like £22, and i'm stingey as hell when it comes to 'regular' clothing.

Argh, I wish it would hurry up and be my birthday so I only have to wait another week. :D

The day...

Jun. 3rd, 2008 | 08:42 pm

Today was the day. The day of destiny when our fates were sealed once and for all. The horrendous, torturous day of doom. That is to say, it was the five-hours-of-exams day. D:
English (2hrs), Ethics (1hr) and History (2hrs). The three most writing-y exams, too! It was such a terrible day. Our ethics class had to stay in the gymn all through lunch in case we Omigawshcheated and called up someone from another school who's taking the exam (we had to take it slightly before the national time because of a clash with history). For some reason we started to call the day Meine Kampf, because it was such a ridiculous struggle. Oh well. English sucked the most, followed by history followed by ethics which was more or less a breeze (Utilitarianism and Ethical Approaches to euthanasia ftw). My only regret was forgetting to use the phrase 'sanctity of life' when describing Aquinas's views. Well I did say 'All life is a gift from God', so that counts for something, right?

Oh well meine kampf is oficially over and now there's just four more exams to go. Yay! But seriously, my answer to the creative writing question was the most god-damned embarassing thing I have ever written. Not the presentation which was actually pretty acceptable, but the fucking content! 'Write a diray entry about what it's like growing up in the 21st century.' Clearly they wanted a response where you talked about modern issues like the war in Iraq and global warming, which is what most of my friends did. Me? I wrote a far too short and ridiculously pretentious rant about how much I hate modern music and fashion and want to be magically transported back in time to the 19th century. What a 'tard I am.

So...
Yesterday was my English Lit exam and monday was maths. 
Maths was really difficult, and there was some stuff we haven't even covered in class, but considering the low grade boundaries I *hopefully* got a C.
 
English Lit was OK-ish. There was a question on Seamus Heaney, which was great because I know his poetry better than anything else in the anthology, i'm fairly confident I analyzed the poems to a high enough standard, but i'm not sure how well I stuck to actually answering the question. The other option was At Grass and a poem of our choice, but i'm not big on Philip Larkin, so I avoided it.

Of Mice and Men wasn't so great, the question was either on Curley and Curley's Wife, or Slim. I chose the Slim one because I have timing issues and tend to overrun, so I thought analyzing just one character would suit me better than two. However, I found that I didn't really have all that much to say about Slim (He's a bit dull really, isn't he?), and ended up just writing off-topic stuff and deviating from the question.

An Inspector Calls was probably the worst, which is surprising as I know the whole bloody play back to front  (I did it for my Drama GCSE performance). The question was either on Eric or the theme of collective responsibility, and I chose the latter because it seemed more interesting, but I definately didn't argue a strong enough point or refer closely enough to the text to get higher than a C or a B at the most. Dx

Ah Well, at least the dreaded thing's over now, after all that time I spent stressing over it. I have Graphics tomorrow, which should be a laugh if nothing else. I have absoloutely zero hope of getting a C, so I may as well just write funny answers and doodle on my paper. 

Aaanyway... Japan in 1 month and 4 days!!!11!1!1! Aaaargh! Brand shopping! Whoo!

I went to see the London Philharmonic perform Schubert's unfinished symphony and, naturally, I had to dress to the nines. I look silly.

Gah...

Mar. 23rd, 2008 | 01:15 pm

I'm beginning to get heartily pissed off with all the fat-hating in the lolita comunity. It's just ridiculous, a good third of this weeks loli_secrets were weight/size related. I love reading that community but it's so damned annoying when people submit the same. fucking. fat. abuse. secrets. week. after. bloody. week. *headdesk*. 

After all, why does it matter if a fat girl wants to dress lolita? Why is it anybody else's business? Why, if all the thin lolis are so damned happy with their own perfect bodies, that they have to hate on other people's to validate themselves? 

And another thing, I hate all the people that say anyone who has to ask about shirring/ sizing is too fat to be wearing it. NO. That's bullshit. Some people have big boobs, some people have a heavier bone structure, some people just aren't built like the size 2 Japanese models. Non Aisian =/= fat. Besides, even the girls that are overweight don't necessarily stretch out the shirring to its limits. That stuff is pretty damn stretchy and since the max for a fully shirred garment is generally agreed to be about 52", a girl with a 42" bust is hardly stretching it out to its max. Shirring is intended to accomodate bigger sizes. No, obviously not to be stretched to its limits, but still to be stretched. If the brands were so determined that only skinny girls wear their clothes, they wouldn't bother making shirred stuff at all. Let alone larger sizes.

I don't really know why it upsets me so much. I'm not really a fatty per se, and i'm no where near overweight, but i'm a looot bigger than the average Japanese girl. I can't help that. It's genetic. End of. I fit some non-shirred brand, but by no means all of it. I don't see why that's such a huge deal. I'm not saying that rolls of flab and double chins are rori, but neither are poking-out ribs and jutting cheekbones. BODY HATE IS POINTLESS.

Aaargh!

Mar. 8th, 2008 | 04:48 pm

 Ohmugod, i'm going to see the X Factor Live Tour tonight!!! YAY! >.<
This girl Maddie who goes to my school was selling two tickets yesterday because she was planning on going but then decided she'd rather go to Sammy's party, so she sold them to me and Rosie Inman for £15 each, and the face value is like, £26 each so basically... :D! It's at the Brighton centre and starts at 7:30 and it's going to be sooo good! Me and Rinman were going to make a banner (with SD on one side and Alesha on the other, btw) in art yesterday, but then we remembered that we have our final on tuesday so we had to do work. Yeah, i'm leaving the house in like... an hour and i've curled my hair (it looks pants but at least I made an effort), I went to town today to buy a new dress but that was a bust so I just bought a cute black and white polka dot bolero (kind of ETCish style), and some cream coloured rose earrings and a matching ring, that doesn't actually come from the same shop but goes really well. Aaand, i'm wearing my red and white polka-dot sleeveless dress and red and white polkadot bow shoes and black tights to match the bolero. All I have left to do is my make-up which should be piss-easy since my skin is being reasonably kind to me today. I think I probably have the pill to thank for that. Anyway. YAY! I can't wait!

Stressing

Feb. 16th, 2008 | 09:36 pm

Aaargh! I have my Bhasvic interview on the 27th! Too soooon! I are not prepared! I kept on forgetting to give my reference form to Mr Rofl to fill in and now it's half term and I have my interview on the third day back at school, so he might not have time to fill it out and then Bhasvic will reject me and i'll have to go and do a hair and beauty B-Tec at City College Dx

Do. Not. Want.

Plus I haven't anywhere near finished my personal portfolio and I have nothing to put in it anyways. No certificates, no awards, no qualifications (except for French, everyone has French), NOTHING. My attendance in absolute pissflaps, too (80.9% Lulz :D)... Gargh... I fail at further education. 

Anyway, i'm off to France tomorrow. I have a pretty busy three or four days planned. Going to Baby (doubt whether i'll buy much/anything, though, the prices in there are so jacked up), Versailles, the Louvre and the musee d'orsay. Incidentally, Katy and Rosie are going to Paris at the same time as I am so we might meet up while we're there, except they want to shop for couture which I can't do because i'm chubby and frilly and will be instantly chucked out of any off-the-catwalk stores I venture into. ;.;

We're staying in my dad's girlfriend's brother's apartment which is just outside of Paris. VHJYFnbujyFu, I fucking love Paris! Sorry, I just remebered how much I love Paris :'D
I have to take lots and lots of photos while i'm there and do some charcoal sketches for my Art exam (impressionism FTW), thought maybe I could go to some snazzy patiserries and draw the pretty cakes. Pretty unambitious but hey, i'm probably going to fail anyways. 

On another note OMGOMG £40 for shipping? Are you fucking joking celga? But i'm over it, as long as all my crap actually arrives safely and without customs charges of a million squid.

Anyways this entry is already waaay tl;dr. I'mma stop writing.

Ranting and rambling...

Feb. 9th, 2008 | 08:55 pm

I really should post here more, since I stopped keeping an actual diary i've felt an odd yearning to update my journal.

So, anyway. Lots of stuff's been happening. I took my philosophy of religeon exam ages ago but I phailed bigtime because I was really sick and delerious and couldn't concentrate. So much for getting an A. Anyways, I have a doctors note that says I was 'medically unfit to take the exam', so they will hopefully either give me a grade based on my mock (A here I come, plzplzplz), or i'll have to retake it in the summer with all my other exams. On the same day as English, Etchics 3 and History though, so that makes 6 hours of non-stop writing. That's not even legal, which means that an examiner has to watch me overnight to make sure I don't get the answers from my friends. Lawl, some old guy watching me sleep, no thanks.

Moving swiftly on, We have our art finals on 11th-12th march and my dramu mock next week (totally failing dramu, our play is absoloute horseshit). I'm doing impressionism as my art question, it's pretty OK so far. There was a question on Japanese art in the paper, and everyone expected me to do that, being the frilly-obsessed weeaboo that I so obviously am. Meh, I did self image for my mock, and ended up with a bunch of pictures of me being frilly, so i've kind of had enough for the time being. 

Parents evening was goooood. I'm well going to miss my school and my teachers. <3
Can't wait for college though. OMGOMGOMG i'm going to Paris in half term to shop for frilly things and go see Versailles. :)

Lawl, illiterate post was illiterate. x.x
Sorry
