Day 28 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Here is a picture of the place that I think is the perfect location not necessarily just for lolita:

DISNEYLAND!
 The most beloved place to be a child (again) living in fairytales.Here, if you dressed lolita, no one would tease you but instead, would downright worship you! If you dress unusually at Disneyland, no one would bother because the people that go there have a soul (?) and it's a place to have fun, not fling your miseries at. Maybe someday have a blast at Disneyland AND feel awesome in lolita too!

Day 27 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

This is tough... one song to fit my favorite lolita style! Bah! I'll improvise! Final Fantasy X OST to the rescue!

21-Fantasy-FFX OST 

 

It's silly, but I'll only listen to Tsai57's OSTs!

 Youtube Link:

I believe that this song captures the innocence and dreaminess of my favorite lolita style, elegant sweet lolita.

Day 25 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

I'm skipping day 24 for obvious reasons. Here is my  favorite lolita themed artwork:

This is not my property, I found it on Her Curious Elegance (lovely blog). The statement of this piece totally matches how I feel about lolita

Day 23 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Here lies my handwriting:
I don't understand why everyone is amazed at how small it is! I used to have such a hard time writing on the lines straight. My writing always floated randomly on paper!

Day 22 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

A picture of my room? I'll just put a picture of my desk -_-;

Day 21 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Momoko from Kamikaze Girls is handsdown my favorite fictional lolita! She also adores Baby The Stars Shine Bright!

CABBAGES!!!

Day 19 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

What's in your makeup bag?

The makeup I need for that day, as simple as that. When I don't have time to put makeup on, I always have lipgloss and white and black eyeliner. I put jewelery to jazz up an outfit that I couldn't accessorize in my makeup bag too!

Day 18 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

A picture of my favorite style:


                                                            Elegant Sweet Lolita!
By Elegant Sweet Lolita (best name I could come up with) I mean something Baby The Stars Shine Bright-esque. Pearly, dreamy fabric maybe, perfect hues, not overly-obnoxious print, and beautifully unnatural florals.

Day 17 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

What do I want more anything right now?  I guess freedom. I'll leave it at that  *;* Never put a bird feeder on a balcony you sure with neighbors. Birds think the next balcony is a restroom !_!

Day 16 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Today I am going to post a picture of my lolita outfit for Sunday. Ignore the wrong date in yellow. We have a horrible camera because our camera was broken from a fall. Some  people think I dropped it, but I KNOW I didn't. Anyway, apologies for rambling.

Day 15 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge and Hello blog

I've now transferred all my posts from tumblr to an actual blog, yay! A picture of my last lolita purchase? How nosey! Nah... It's fine. Well, a seller on ebay was promoting their store by selling dresses, and I just happened to test if they were a scammer on the pink version of my dream dress. I ended up winning the dress, so I contacted the seller asking if they had the dress in black. After a while, they replied, saying yes. So now, hopefully I'll be at peace! The dress they have doesn't have puffy sleeves, but shoulderless sleeves instead, which I think is actually better.

Crossing my fingers ;)

Day 14 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

A picture of my dream item? No problem!
image
Remember that dress from my wishlist, the one Ling_lam is keeping me from?
That’s it!

Day 13 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

A picture of my favorite sweets today!
image
Petit fours from Lebanon! I can’t get enough of them! Out of all the cakes and baked goods I worship, petit fours!

Day 12 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

A picture of myself before lolita came into my life? That sounds easy and also like before I had a baby/soulmate I named lolita.
image
image
WAY before.
image
image
Right before

Day 11 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

It’s quite tough to place my lolita life in pictures because I don’t have much of one unfortunately. I’ll try! :)
image
Sometimes, I can’t resist the urge to dress up anymore. I end up lasting an hour or so before I feel empty dressing up at home. Rarely do I dress up for contests ( just once to find out how biased they all are).
image
An everyday escapade of gawking at little lolita lovelies that resulted in a total of $1,500 spending! Beware how tiny things you buy everyday add up!~ So that’s all I can give.
Bye!

Day 10 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Today I’m going to talk about what’s in my bag. I don’t carry a bag when I go out because I don’t want to bother when I’m taking crappy public transportation. The only thing I carry is a reusable shopping bag. I’m just going to list things I would put in my bag.
1. My unreliable phone! If it’s not dead, I may need to use it for an emergency!
2.An mp3 player, though I have yet to find a cheap one on ebay that lasts.
3.The makeup that I’m wearing that day ( lipgloss, brown eyeliner, etc)
4. My notebook!
5. A book to read.
6. Maybe a snack…
7. My water canteen.
8. Hair band
9. Accessories I didn’t have time to put on.
10. There would probably be little souvenirs from places I go ( paper from a straw, packaged chopsticks, buisness cards)
So that’s what would be in my bag! I do have a perfect bag I received on my birthday but I don’t want to ruin it. My mom bought it as a not-exact replacement for the bag I used to have. I lost my previous bag somewhere and I NEVER got it back. Again, I hope you all had a splendid Lolita Day!

Day 9 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Sorry I haven’t been posting everyday. You know, school and stuff. Today is 10 thing I would never do in lolita. Hm… Road block.
1. I would never work on a project in lolita, be it art or Tech ed.
2. Take public transportation.
3. Swim.
4. Do outdoorsy stuff.
5. Go to a hospital.
6. Cook.
7.Go to school.
8. Go to a funeral.
9. Go to the dentist/doctor.
10. Donate blood.
And I’m sure there’s more.
HAPPY LOLITA DAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My First International Lolita Day

image
LOL! Me in my FIRST Lolita dress on my first lolita day.
So, today is supposed to glorious because it’s lolita day. My day hasn’t been glorious, or at least I haven’t been glorious. I hope that everyone has a wonderful lolita day!
Opinions on my dress? Yay for crappy webcam pics!

Day 8 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Today probably has the most anticipated topic for me: 10 songs that inspire me in lolita! Here goes!~
1. Lolita By Kana: Translated lyrics:
  • A path through the woods on the other side of the wall
    That hand wanted to go
    The twinkling stars in the sky, the fallen rocks

    I finally found your secret
    The scent of perfume drifting up, I waited to shine

    A path through the woods on the other side of the wall
    This hand couldn’t go
    The swaying heart-shape, the sound of breaking

    I quietly hid those memories
    Wearing white shoes, something’s changing

    I’m alone
    The truth is
    I want to say it
    A frilly skirt
    I miss you
    I miss you
Kana’s squeaky, cracking sweet voice in this song captures the essence of lolita. The lyrics remind me of a wealthy girl in the rococo era who tries to forget her lost childhood love by dressing up in lolita extravagance. The vocals are so horrible they’re great!

2. Happy Birthday by The Birthday Massacre: Lyrics:
I think my friend said, “I hear footsteps.”
I wore my black and white dress to the
birthday massacre, birthday massacre, birthday
I wore my black and white dress

I think my friend said, “Stick it in the back of her head.”
I think my friend said, “Two of them are sisters.”
“I’m a murder tramp, birthday boy”, I think I said
“I’m gonna bash them in, bash them in”, I think he said

Then we wished them all a happy birthday
We kissed them all goodnight. Now he chases me to my room,
chases me to my room, chases me
In my black and red dress

I think my friend said, “Don’t forget the video.”
I think my friend said, ” Don’t forget to smile.”
“You’re a murder tramp, murder tramp”, I think he said
“You’re a murder boy, birthday boy”, I think I said
I think this song is very guro-lolita, or maybe I just wanted an excuse to include my Birthday Massacre craze.
Video is property of OGGYwish and song is property of The Birthday Massacre
Fun Fact: As the band rose to fame, they could no longer keep their old name Imagica since other bands had the name. They changed their name to ” The Birthday Massacre” after their popular song so that their fans from the beginning could find them. Then, they changed the song’s name to Happy Birthday.

3. World Of Make Believe by Within Temptation: Lyrics:
On golden wings
She flies at night
With her dress
It’s blinding white
Countless diamonds
And her long blonde hair
The queen is coming
So you better be aware
Her plums and flowers
They are never the same
Blue and silver
It’s all her game
Flying dragons
And enchanted woods
She decides, she creates
It’s her reality

In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory

Unicorns appear in her sight
The fireflies lead her trough these woods at night
In search of the legendary amulet
And it’s secret
In the big oak there is a door
Which will lead her
To the wizard shore
And she’ll ask him
For the wind to sail her home
To the world where she belongs

In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It’s her reality

In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It’s her reality
I believe that this song truly captures the element of dressing in lolita in a unique aspect. I love that fairy tale theme that made Within Temptation the best band ever in my eyes.

4.  Blue Eyes by Within Temptation: Lyrics:
Blue eyes just smile to the world
Full of dreams and with fascination
Too soon she saw that her hands were chained and pulled without any freedom
It’s always the same, the fear no way out
I cannot break it
I can take it no more

It’s burning me up inside
Lost all my tears, can’t cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It’s growing, it’s waiting
Just to hurt you

This heart was hurt by the light and
I see your world that tries to deny us
Now everything that I love has died or has been shattered to pieces
It’s always the same, they fear no way out
I cannot break it
I can take it no more

It’s burning me up inside
Lost all my tears, can’t cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It’s growing, it’s waiting
Just to hurt you

Just to hurt you
Just to hurt you

Can’t you see their eyes, what lies inside
They’ve given up, they no longer shine
Too soon they close with one last cry
Before they turn to white

Just to hurt you

It’s burning me up inside
Lost all my tears, can’t cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It’s growing, it’s waiting
Just to hurt you

Just to hurt you
To me, this song is a message to stop the senseless restrictions against women in the Middle East, and to be thankful that you can most likely wear pretty much whatever you want.

5. In A World Of My Own in Walt Disney’s 1951 Alice In Wonderland: Lyrics:

Cats and Rabbits
Would reside in fancy little houses
And be dressed in shoes and hats and trouses
In a world of my own

All the flowers
Would have very extra special powers
They would sit and talk to me for hours
When im lonely in a world of my own

There’d be new birds
Lots of nice and friendly howdy-do birds
Everyone would have a dozen blue birds

Within that world of my own
I could listen to a beddling brook
And hear a song that i could understand
I keep wishing
It could be that way
Because my world would be a wonderland
This song symbolizes how lolitas have a world of their own.

6. All In The Golden Afternoon In Walt Disney’s 1951 Alice In Wonderland
Lyrics:
Little bread-and-butterflies kiss the tulips
And the sun is like a toy balloon
There are get up in the morning glories
In the golden afternoon

There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside
Strings of violets are all in tune
Tiger lilies love the dandy lions
In the golden afternoon
(The golden afternoon)

There are dog and caterpillars and the copper centipede
Where the lazy daisies love the very peaceful life
They lead…

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
For especially in the month of June
There’s a wealth of happiness and romance
All in the golden afternoon

All in the golden afternoon
The golden afternoon…

ALICE:
You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
For especially in the month of June
There’s a wealth of happiness and romance
All-

FLOWERS:
In the golden afternoon!
This song makes me think of fanciful afternoons when lolitas meet up and have picnics in a garden/park!

7. Still Doll by Kanon Wakeshima: Lyrics:

Hi Miss Alice.
With glass eyes
What kind of a dream
Are you able to have?
Are you entranced by?
Again for me
My heart tears apart
And flows out
Memories
Pierce into
The mended crevice

Hi Miss Alice.
With fruitful lips
To whom are you
Throwing love at?
Grieving love at?
Im already
Spinning words
The warmth of my tongue
Completely cools
And I cant sing
The song that I adore
The song of love
cannot be sung anymore

Still, you do not answer.
I love the idea of a girl wondering what it’s like to be her doll aloud in the lyrics. Very Gothic Lolita?

What would put a lolita to sleep!

9. Promise Me by The Birthday Massacre: Lyrics:
 


We don’t know what time we’ll be there
But we won’t show up till later
It will all look so much nicer
After all of us arrive
Promise me to pass the time
Dance with me on plastic tears
Kiss me We won’t feel alone
Till morning when we disappear
Though we all want to be noticed
There’s no need for competition
Cause there’s just no way of knowing
Where the camera points tonight
Promise me to pass the time
Dance with me on plastic tears
Kiss me We won’t feel alone
Till morning when we disappear
We don’t listen to each other
Cause we’re all too busy talking
We’ll tell lies about each other
Cause the truth is such a bore
With the threat of dawn approaching
And our interest quickly fading
We will stumble home together
As we did the night before
Promise me to pass the time
Dance with me on plastic tears
Kiss me. We won’t feel alone
Till morning when we disappear
Well what do you know, my Birthday Massacre craze appears again! I could see it suitable for a Gothic Lolita party!

10.Stormbringer by Ashbury Heights: Lyrics:
Its raging surface just an act
There’s little reason to applaud
Such transparental deception

And they tell you to shut your windows
And they tell you to comb your hair
Cause outside there be monsters
And clothes you should not wear

They say your dreams will come to pass
That we will all someday forget
An ambition made of glass
Such an arrogant perception

And they tell you to shut your windows
And they tell you to comb your hair
Cause outside there be monsters
And clothes you should not wear
Topping the ridiculous cake off with the cherry that is Ashbury Heights. I think that this song expresses what a lolita is told by conservative people.

This post has been hell. The songs probably don’t relate to anything but thanks for tuning in if you have! Now to sleep for school I don’t want to go to!

Day 7 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Today, I’ll list 10 people that inspire me in lolita.
1. Mana! He is the lolita god(dess). I love his signature color combination of black and blue! Very Ciel Phantomhive. Normally, black and blue is such a guyish combination, but Mana transformed it into something feminine! He even has his own brand!
2. Miwako from Paradise Kiss! Her personality and adorable hair are pure sugoii!
3. Kana! She is one of those people who had style that I admired before I even realized what lolita was.
4. Pullips! Again, I loved the fashion they had even before I realized what I really loved was the lolita. Pullips tend to have a more neo-lolita style though, which I find even more exciting!
5. Adora Bat Brat is a person that inspires me in general. I adore (pun intended) how she has her own style! She is such an extraordinary person! I love her!
6. Claire Belton! I always used to love to browse through her art on her old website, queenofdorks.com. Since long, long ago, I fell in love with an image she made for a magazine, and made it my desktop. Under the character’s feet, it says Angelic Pretty. Back then, I had no idea what that was, but it sounded so cool to me! To this day, that image is still my desktop!
7. F Yeah Lolita
8. Moss Garden lolita blog. I love how the creator links fairytale with lolita!
9. Dark Victorian lolita blog. Finally, I genuine gothic lolita blog! Love!
10. Brolitas! It’s so beautiful how much they love lolita! They overcome even more obstacles than female lolitas! They’re truly dedicated!
So that concludes my inspiration list for lolita.

Day 6 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Today is day 6 of the 30 day lolita challenge. Today is about 10 things I can’t live without in lolita. Hmm.. That’s tough because first of all, I only wear lolita at home, and second of all, I’m not a completely stocked lolita to begin with… I’ll try!
1. Ebay! Most of my lolita clothing is from ebay! Ebay is awesome!
2. Milanoo! Honestly, I would buy all of their lolita clothing if I could! hehe…
3. F Yeah Lolita! Caro-chan is generously informative. I find that she helps me pick out proper lolita clothing with her countless tips!
4. Lolita blogs in general… They provide a great deal of inspiration for me.
5. Sewing needles and thread! You never know when you might need them!
6. Accessories! To me, no outfit is complete without some matching accessories..That means all my outfits have been incomplete… hehe…
7.Pullips! Believe it or not, they tend to provide inspiration for me, too!
8. Japan! Japan is the mother of lolita, so of course they have magazines and tidbits about lolita which provides lolita bloggers with some of the information that they give me sometimes! Also, Japan’s street style is totally inspirational!
9. That feeling I get when I wear lolita! Without it, I would feel so empty…
10. Myself! I need me to pick out the clothes that are meant for me and to pass judgement on exceptions.
I think I did a pretty job on this list, if I do say so myself. When I saw this challenge on the list, I wasn’t looking forward to it, but it helped me realize things that I needed to appreciate!

Day 5 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Today I am going to share 10 items on my “wishlist” even though I shouldn’t be wanting things. I find that that keeps happening and the clothes/accessories pile up. Am I the only one with that issue? Since I don’t necessarily have a mental wishlist (just an ebay one), I’m just going to browse through lolita brand websites and choose favorites.
1. Baby the Stars Shine Bright: St. Mephisto Cathedral One Piece In Violet
image
This dress caught my eye for two reasons; one: because I have a serious obsession with fairy tales and two; because I have another obsession with violet from one of my favorite bands, The Birthday Massacre. Ah, obsessions.
2.
image
This coat from ebay is, to me, the best coat that I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, it’s impossible for me to own it because the seller is a scammer. It’s pretty obvious that the seller bids on their own item to raise the price. No one else would want to accumulate that many bids, … right?
3.
On with my violet obsession…
image
Just a nice lavender skirt would do…
4. A skirt that I could never have…
image
Back in the day, my mom recommended this skirt from ebay to me, when it had light blue checkers instead of black. I didn’t appreciate the skirt, thinking that it was a waste of money, just too guilty to admit my enchantment (look at my money-saving techniques now). The bid for the skirt ended on my birthday, while I was having a horrid day out. By then, I had shown that I wanted that skirt, but when I got home late at night, it was too late. And from then on, it was only available at the expensive buy-it-now price. My mom tried to ask girldorock to place it in a bid, but girldorock would not. Alas, I could never have it. Now, it is only sold in black, in buy-it-now.
5. Another unreachable item for me on ebay…
image
This amazing dress was being sold on sale by ling_lam2005 at the time. My mom gave ling_lam negative feedback for an unsatisfactory item, and ever since, we were blocked from buying form the Little Chili Shop and the Little Chili Lolita Shop. Ling_lam 2008 claimed that they weren’t ling_lam2005, but what are the odds that two people with the usernames ling_lam block you from their stores with a one word difference in their names? Ling_lam claimed that they hadn’t blocked us, but we knew otherwise ourselves.Ling_lam offered us a deal to purchase  this dress and other items we wanted at the sale price without ebay, just paypal. We could never trust them. The sale ended, and ling_lam refused to sell us the items at sale price anymore. Ling_lam went on to say an item we wanted was out of stock on my size all the time. Why oh why did one of the dresses of my dreams have to be in the wrong hands? Ebay could never fix the block, further proving that it was no mistake.
6. A blue and pink split wig from MintyMix.
image
I asked Mintymix to make me one a couple of months ago, but so far I haven’t seen it on her website. I’m kind of glad since $50 is a small fortune for one item.
7. Maybe a fade <3 is better for me…
image
8. I PLAN on getting this wig though, classic pink.
image
9. Oh my god, I’ve always wanted Nana’s ring! I LOVE NANA!
image
10. A reliable pair of bloomers and some effective petticoats.
image
Feeling like a big shot with no dreams left in this Mary Magdalene St. Claire replica from Momo’s Handicrafts to ebay to lucky me…
image

Day 4 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

On to day 4 now. I’m quite content that F Yeah Lolita is now participating in this too! Today is 10 kinds of food you like.
1. Vegetables (Please no mushrooms, they’re fungus anyway) Everything from broccoli to bell peppers to cucumber to peas to … I could go on forever. Also truffles <3 if that counts as vegetables. I had the rare opportunity to try them once with rice. They were a great substitute for beef/lamb, like hearty stew. Their flavor is amazing!
2. Every fruit except watermelon and honey dew (TOO BLAND)
3. CHOCOLATE
4. Japanese food! (YAY SUSHI!)
5. Baked goods
6. Lebanese food of course
7. LEMON ON EVERYTHING!
8. Sweets.
9. Cake
10. Italian pasta dishes (spaghetti bolognese , fettuccine alfredo, pasta with marinara)

Respnose To F Yeah Lolita's Post: Angelic Pretty: Re-releases and Reimaginings.

Wow! I never really noticed how lolita brands re-release their stuff before! Very intriguing and thoughtful of companies, but then again, most companies of anything reimagine what they’ve created. To me, the re-releases are for those who appreciated the previous concept, but wanted the overall product improved. I truly thank companies for swallowing their pride and editing their work. I love Caro-chan!

Day 3 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Today is day 3 of the 30 day lolita challenge. Today I am going to talk about 10 things I hate in lolita.
1. The fact that there are those mean girls among the lolitas.
2.  The prices.
3. All those pesky little no-no’s.
4. The high maintenance.
5. All the wantable stuff.
6. People ridiculing the way you dress.
7. The loneliness without a fellow lolita in the “village”.
8. How sometimes lolita clothing makes you ignore your other spectacular clothing.
9. It may make people that you know who are unfamiliar with lolita think that you’ve gone insane.
10. How in contests based on pictures, the more well-known/ privileged people prosper.

Day 2 Of The 30 Day Lolita Challenge

Today is the 2nd day of the 30 day lolita challenge. I’m going to list 10 things that I love about lolita today.
10 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT LOLITA ARE:
* 1. That wonderful feeling of fitting perfectly when I wear lolita, like I’ve found my soul mate in style form. 
2. How well the mixture of elegance and cuteness goes in lolita.
* 3. The uniqueness of what I wear.
* 4. The frills, bows, ribbons, lace, flowers, and all that girly stuff.
* 5. How there are those dreamy, expensive brands even in another world.
* 6. How wearing clothes with food on them is regular.
* 7. The diversity.
* 8. The connection it brings to people from all over the world.
* 9. It’s from Japan <3.
* 10. All these people helping one another get past a bunch of problems they once faced concerning the style and just plain body image.

THE PICTURE ABOVE IS NOT MY PROPERTY. I BELIEVE I FOUND IT ON FACEBOOK. I WOULD WILLINGLY TAKE IT DOWN IF THE OWNER WANTED ME TO.
Head over heels in love with lolita, waiting for the explosion of not-interested-anymore that may surely come

1. My lolita clothing is just mixed in with my just plain clothes in my closet. I have yet to wear one item.
2. I was formally introduced to the lolita style through ebay (days of gawking at the best clothes ever).
3. I admired the art of characters in lolita from manga filler pages before I knew what lolita was. The dresses were just too cute!
4. I don’t think that there’s one single lolita within my “village”.
5.My mom definitely doesn’t mind me adoring lolita except for the fact that I don’t really wear it.
6. Pullips, an accessory-making section, dresses waiting to be altered, and little girly things around my room could signal to somebody that I’m a potential lolita enthusiast.
7. I just get items that catch my eye. There isn’t much of a general theme to my little lolita lovelies.
8. I love shoes; especially lolita shoes.
9.As a child, I despised wearing pants; I always wanted to wear purely dresses/skirts.
10. I generally slip on a shirt, jeans, socks, and conceal my little flaws, not bothering to bother because I just want to get my miserable day over with. Maybe, if my days weren’t so miserable, I would be decked out in OTT sweet lolita garb.

I’m looking forward to the next 29.

Writing

Ever since my English teacher gave me a notebook when she visited me in the hospital last school year, I’ve been writing about what happens in my life, daily.

So everyday, I tote around a notebook and pencil in my hands, no matter how silly I may look.

Sometimes, I’m behind on my writings, so they aren’t as “fresh”.

Sometimes, my writings are extremely fresh.

No matter how silly I may same, I’m usually equipped with my notebook.

I’ve gone through countless notebooks, writing every rambling.

Moss

   I don’t know the exact reason, but moss enchants me. Moss is a fuzzy, soft, subtle green, and ground-ridden plant. When you gaze upon it, you may take it for granted depending on how use to it you are.

“Ah, it’s just moss.”


But I appreciate moss more than most do. I admire the complexities in simple moss.

But maybe that’s just me, admiring everything. I find it so hard to accept the wonders of life. It’s all too much for me!

    Also, I am a absinthe fanatic. Ever since I was introduced to it from the second book of the amazing Gemma Doyle Trilogy ( Rebel Angels), I’ve been fascinated about the green fairy. It even appeared on my guilty comfort, Gossip Girl.

I love green things. I love nature. I love every color, just not in every hue.

Me

Though my tumblr name might suggest, I am not sour. I just have a passion for lemons. Lemon juice squeezed on everything. A typical Lebanese attribute, really. BUT, if I did have to describe myself as, well, a lemon, I would say that I was a meyer lemon, a lemon, but sweet enough. I love fashion. I love Japan. I love birds, cats, rabbits, mice, turtles, and little snakes. I love Alice in Wonderland. I love writing and reading.There’s alot more, but that’s sort of me. Also, why do so many bands have to disband? At least their music lives on. I love art.
Life is a journey in wonderland. Have I fallen down the rabbit hole?
