A meme and a cool link!

Tagged by [info]aoi_no_tenshi. That ho.

EDIT: HURHUR, I only listed five. Now it's seven!!

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".

I taaag
[info]annie_chan
[info]arricia_sama
[info]missamerrika
[info]elenatha
and... and... uh...
IDEK. 8| Everyone else I would tag already got tagged.

Quirky things about me~ )

SO OTHER THAN THAT, HEY GUYS, CHECK OUT
We♥It

I found WeHeartIt floating around the Blogosphere; it's kind of like Polyvore, in that you can "heart" particularly inspirational or influential images and stow them away in a gallery of your own. They also bring up suggestions, similar-tagged images.

How is this any different from Flickr, you say? Well, it pulls images from Flickr and Tumblr and Photobucket, Tinypic, and blogs everywhere, and it links the image back to the source. I've found a multitude of delicious blogs that way.

Here's Mine. It might be pretty obvious to some of you guys, but some of the images I chose that inspire me might surprise you, too!

Anyway. I made cookies tonight. Imma go has one. :9
XOXOX
~Lilly

P.S. ALSO TWO DAYS UNTIL KOBATO! FFFFFF
P.S.S. I'm watching 07 Ghost right now! So far so good!

Para Salin!

So I just realized.... Quite unconsciously... While baby-talking my sewing machine to work, I'm using Sarah Palin's voice.

.....wat.

Awww, first snapped needle!

Doll snapped her very first needle! Awwww~

Unfortunately, my way of sewing the tutu is NOT behaving. My ruffling foot is throwing FITS. It's refusing to gather- I might just have too many layers of tulle. I'll need to ruffle each individual piece and then sew them together. FFF. It's what I should've done in the first place, but, augh.

Drawing tonight, probably. e_e I SERIOUSLY need to get back my drawing mojo.
XOXOXOXOXO

MADAM WHAT IN THE WORLD

HEY GUYS SO...
GUESS WHAT?

ANOTHER ALL-NIGHTER AND I'M STILL NOT DONE WITH MADAM. AWESOME.

It IS rather awesome though; It looks more and more like the Madam! I put on the first skirt with my Petti and ran around like an utter loon. The ruffle foot still owns my soul. The skirt has one more layer; the jacket needs finishing, and the shirt needs trim. And...and...

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Okay: TL;DR.
I FINISHED MY JAPAN STUFF.
Sort of. I'm typesetting the pages for the physical book to be bound up. :D Hooray. But that's small potatoes.

So, tealdeer, because I've realized people don't read my huge textwalls, it was hell and I only got a few hours sleep during the whole ordeal and a lot of freaking out and Sofia and Anna and Annay are amazing. Mmmkay?

Now!
Wanna see what I made? 8D )

Alright, here, have some fun stuff.

That Icon Meme everyone did )
Now, off to work on Short Story and 3D. :'D

Ye Olde New Years Reflective Poste

The YEAR IN REVIEW: 2008!
Take the first sentence of the first entry of each month. This should review what you were thinking about the whole year!

1. Okay, most of you know the situation here. Laksha's engaged!
ROFL, RP news.
2. So as some of you know, I make hair-falls!
I am obv. crafty. ROFL.
3. Being kept up by snoring/moaning dormguest(WHUT) but too wired to sleep, and can't make a sound?
ROOMMATE DORAMU
4. HAY GUIZE I MADE A KAWAII CUTSEW~
CAPSLOCK. RORITA.
5. OMFG GUYS I JUST FINISHED GURREN LAGANN BRB CRYING FOREVER.
ANIMOO CAPSLOCK
6. Hey, lovies. I'm home. But not for long!
There are a ton of entries like this; "I'm home but I'm going BYE!"
7. I filled this out in 2005, as a brand-new BJD owner, all asparkle, with only Odette, and awash in the doll community.
Wow, 4 years in the BJD fandom!
8. LADIES AND GENTS have a gay icon.
The Gay infected mah stuff.
9. So, I leave for Savannah in a week.
More evidence of Lilly stalling
10. FINALLY, what, 3 weeks later? HEY I TOOK A LOT OF PICTURES OKAY?
Evidence of Lilly being late posting pictures!
11. The first time this quarter, I slept through my alarm.
Evidence of srs-sounding emo entries
12. Hey hey hey, everybody! I'm ALIVE and I made it to Tokyo! :D
And evidence of Lillay traveling awesome places, which she's v. grateful for ;w;

And, a more reflective one... I did this one last year. A lot of answers carried over, but a lot didn't.

Lilly's 2008! )

Even with all of the drama, 2008 was a frickin FANTASTIC year for me, better than any, ANY that I remember even in my short little life. I found my place! Now, there was a fair amount of doramu, and I'll openly admit the breaks sucked because I'd snuggled in so with my friends, but even the sucky parts had wonderful aspects to them.

This year, I finally found a group of friends to love and be loved by AND by COMPLETELY RETARDED NERDS WITH, something I'd always watched my older friends on LJ have, and so craved myself I cannot, cannot express how much I adore my friends. And my parents were completely supportive of what I did this year, and my grades proved it, and made them proud.

I pulled down two GPA 4.0 quarters and a 3.8, averaging at about 3.9 overall. I got a bit of scholarship money, and I got accepted to go to Japan, which was a miracle in and of itself. I got published in Shoujo Phonebook, and I got my very first contract, writing for the Gothic and Lolita Bible with Tokyopop.

I was the most creative and productive I've ever been. I was inspired and encouraged and my artwork grew EXPONENTIALLY. Just looking at what I made last December makes my stomach turn. urrrgh. But that's a good thing! I cosplayed for the first time. I became known in art and Lolita communities, if even just as a shrimp.

I did not fall in love. I didn't even get a crush. But even with that heartache, I know I spared myself the mess of romantic relationships, and there was more of my heart and head to dedicate to taking care of my friends and focusing on my studies. And, my brother and my best friend got Engaged! So, it all works out in the end.

I'm not one to do "New Year Resolutions", because I know I'll break them. But I do have baby-goals, as you saw in the meme.

Anyway, Thanks for the awesome year, 2008! Hope to have an awesome 2009 with all of you!
XOXOXOXOXOXO

Baby update!

Hey sweeties, no huge update for now, since an intimidating Japanese man is literally standing behind me and watching me type to make me hurry up. I'm frustrated about this, since I have like, 4 days to catch up on... gah.

For my own notes, here's a summary:
Thursday - 5th Bad day is Bad
Friday- 6th-Asakusa Temple, Harajuku
Sunday - 7th- Harajuku Sunday
Monday- 8th- Disney Sea

I'll fill in the details more when I don't have someone breathing down my neck.

Love you guys so so so so much. ;_; I wish you were here with me! So much of what I've done here, my group's abandoned me and I've ended up going around on my own. S'sad. ;_;

Alright, loveys. KISSKISSKISS.
XOXOXOXO

Leaving on a jet plane...

Of course, being the stupid person I am, I JUST finished my TP page. So, no sleep for me before I leave. I'll catch sleep on the plane.

So anyway, that aside, I'm in JAPAN FOR TWO WEEKS STARTING TODAY!! ...well. You know... I'll get there more like...tomorrow...
But WHATEVER, you know what I mean.

I'll have access to internets, but it's VERY limited. So I'll be doing more important things, like checking bank accounts and opening times.

I'm also keeping a physical journal this time (SCAD requirement. :| ) I'll be blogging, too, but maybe not as in-depth, since I'd be saying/writing it more than once. We'll see. 8D

Again, I have my two famous stowaways, so you'll be seeing more from them!

It sucks, I should be LEAPING OFF THE CEILING happy, but I'm so tired I don't think it's sunk in yet.

ANYWAY. IGNORE MY WHINING I AM NOT ALLOWED TO FEEL BAD I AM GOING TO JAPAN AND I AM GOING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT IT BECAUSE MY GOD LILLY IT'S JAPAN.

Right, packing last bits away.

XOXOXOX

ALMOST THERE~~~~

I'M DONE WITH MY INTRO PAGES, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH
THE END IS IN SIGHT, I CAN SEE IT, I CAN SEE IT~!

To my online darlings:
Sorry kidlets, I'm banhammered from the computer until I finish; I make AMAZING time when I'm not getting distracted roleplaying looking up reference images. :D


ALSO ALSO
I'm SO SORRY EVERYONE AT HOME!
I'm coming home this Saturday, but I literally have one week until I'm on a plane to Tokyo, and I have my TP comic to do before I leave, so I'll be full-scale nose-to-the-grinder/trying to recuperate before I go overseas. D:

SO I WILL SEE YOU WHEN I COME HOME OKAY? ;_; It's not that I don't love you ferociously; it's just that I have a very little timeframe before I'm back out the door.

ALRIGHT BACK TO PAGES.
2 LEFT NOW! Just inking, and my nibs seem to be cooperating! Hooray!

And, Adelais keeping me company and cheering me on helps a lot, too. :3
XOXOXOXO
~Lilly

P.S. ALMOST BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. FFFFFFFFF.

P.S.S. I'm gonna be in Japan when G-Fantasy Releases. HOW COOL IS THAT? New Nabari Chapter, and a new Kuroshitsuji chapter, IN REAL TIME! FFF~!
P.S.S.S. OMFG GUYS JAPAN IN 10 DAYS
