It Seems Like Years Since It's Been Clear

just found my second gray hair.

you can take me out back and put me out of my misery now.

So I never post here about my actual life despite this being my journal, and all. So bscly I have gotten through (I don't want to say "over" because that trivializes it for me and for everyone else who suffers) whatever bout of depression I had had for about a month there. (seriously, it was so awful.) But I feel mostly normal now! Except now I have a month of laziness to pick up after. My room looks like a warzone and I still don't really feel up to it :(

I have four Monster High dolls now: Draculaura and Frankie, plus the Gloom Beach version of Clawdeen, which is cheaper and comes with less but is still really worth it, and the basic Ghoulia, who is PERFECT. Like all nerdy girls want to believe they're Ghoulia. She wears awesome glasses and has awesome hair and wears a piano key belt and a shirt with cherries and a cute necklace and fishnet arm warmers and has knee-hight black, white, and red converse sneakers that, by the way, are like 6 inch heels. And pink zipper-pull earrings. And a diary with a bonus bookmark! eeeeeee. Clawdeen's 80s-looking rainbow cheetah print bathingsuit is a one-piece with a shorts-looking bottom with a cute (sadly attached) belt, and a removable also 80s-looking pink and black striped top. She has 4 earrings: pink, purple, blue, and green. And her hair is streaked with purple! Therefore she is cooler than the other Clawdeen I thought I wanted. Her hair is so frizzy I had to put it in pigtails with elastic bands from her packaging but that's okay. She also came with sunglasses, a frisbee, and a postcard. Oh, and shoes, too, and a brush and a stand, because Monster High dolls come with everything they need. Ghoulia has a stand and brush too, and also a purse that looks like a cassette tape, and her little owl named Sir Hoots-a-Lot who clips on her arm. Oh and did I mention Ghoulia has sparkly eyeshadow like Draculaura? They could have totally skimped on her eye makeup because of her giant glasses, but nope.

We went to Toys R Us last week and I spotted a single Ghoulia behind all the other dolls. Then Boyfriend confessed he'd already ordered one, so being the kind and benevolent person I am, I tucked her back in the back, where I'm pretty sure someone had deliberately hidden her. I hope whoever it was went back and found her! So that night I got the only Clawdeen they had. Then this weekend I got my Ghoulia! So now I have four and I think that's plenty, for now. I put Clawdeen in a pair of Barbie jeans that are super old over her bathing suit, because it's cold! She looks kind of 90s with her little belly shirt and giant baggy jeans.

I Ghoulia and Clawdeen the little bracelets I'd made for them forever ago so now all four of them have matching friendship bracelets. ...yeah, in my spare time I make doll bracelets. This is my life.

Anyway, I also tasted lobster and cried, but I ate a whole shrimp without gagging!

I've been taking a multivitamin (with hair supplement) for a few months now, and also started taking extra (completely safe, don't worry) hair supplement. The result has been my eyelashes are growing like weeds. I know I've mentioned it before, but now even my bottom lashes are getting into it and there's a definite noticable change in how they look without any makeup. This is important news, okay. Better I talk about this than depressing things, right? Also my bangs are getting longer. Which isn't a surprise, because hair does grow, but still, I'm happy. I really hate my bangs :(

I forget if I even mentioned this but my grandmother tripped and broke her foot. She's getting all gloom and doom like ~this is the beginning of the end~ but really, she didn't lose her balance because she's old or got dizzy or fainted or anything, she just tripped. She's being stubborn and not really letting her foot heal properly, but I hope she does soon because diabetics can lose their feet if they aren't careful.

anyways have I mentioned here that Boyfriend makes me play Magic with him? (and I like it?) I should document that in case future Ivy comes to read about her life. (hi, self! HAVE YOU HAD BABIES YET?)

I still collect Hello Kitty stuff too but they don't have any in the Target dollar section so my collecting has dwindled. Which is just as well because I don't need to hoard any more. I did get a tiny package of stickers from the cards/games section at Walmart though (Boyfriend was buying moar magic!11).

oh! Walmart had their Halloween costumes on sale so I got a Draculaura outfit. It fits because I'm short. I'd worried that I'd be too fat, but it fits! So now I have a costume for next year, assuming I can find pink boots by then. Heh.

oh, one last thing, I hope I get one of those cheap mini Lalaloopsy dolls for my birthday. HAPPY BIRTH MONTH TO ME~~ because as you all know I'm obnoxious about my birthday and I celebrate the whole month because I am obnoxious.

I WILL PLAY MOAR SIMS SOON OK BAI.

I'm assuming we just mean appearance-wise (personality-wise I'd never change my sense of humor or honesty). Otherwise, the blazingly obvious answer is my hair. (My eyes and cheeks are good too).

AND I WILL DIE LIVIN' JUST AS FREE AS MAH HAIR

You know what I don't like about getting my hair cut? Getting it cut, of course (only two inches, though). You know what I DO like? Compliments from strangers. I love it when people love my hair. It was on its best behavior today, showing off for the hair ladies and everything. I love my hair. <3

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKIE, I forgot Bianca's but I didn't forget yours :D

1. I tried new shampoo and conditioner today (still Herbal Essences). It's criminal for hair to be this shiny and soft, I'm telling you.
2. Slept a lot more today. Mmmmsleep.
3. I'm really in the mood for chocolate.
4. So... new Barbie has two new faces? Because the one I saw online had a closed mouth and a wider nose and pretty almondish eyes, and I saw some that looked like that in Target yesterday. But then I saw others with these beady eyes and crazy-looking smiles, and it was like "what?" If they have to change the face, why can't they go back to 1990s Barbie, the one I grew up with? I maintain that she's still the prettiest.

I just wanted to say thanks for the comments on my last entry. I'll respond properly soon. Right now I'm writing. :)

Also, WTF DID VICTORIA BECKHAM DO TO HER HEAD? My guess is that her youngest son played Beauty Shop and accidentally hacked some off, so she had to rush to a stylist and have it fixed. If by fixed I mean "Halle Berry circa five years ago", that is. I mean, she's not, you know, ugly or anything, but I hate that hairstyle and since the Pob was such a big hit, does this mean all of Hollywood will soon be doing this? I mean, fierce bitches like Posh can pull it off, but can you see Paris doing it? Those Hills nobodies? The world will be filled with ugly and I will cry. It might mean an end to horrid hair extensions, though.

Publix didn't have the new Herbal Essences when I went after getting my hair trimmed today. I'm sad. I was looking forward to trying it, since it's specifically for long hair, and my hair has had such good results with them already, and for the past week I've been using non-HE hair products because I ran out and my hair is very upset with me.
Maybe I'll go to Wal*Mart soon and get me some of that sweet, sweet long-hair lovin'.

Yes, this is a pretty useless post.
Jackie, feel better soon. <3

1. You never realize how many clothes you have until you reach into your closet and pull out clothes you've never seen before in your life. Multiple times. And they fit and look really, really good. I think I have a clothing fairy.
2. You also never realize how many clothes you have until you try to organize them by color and sleeve length. I gave up on color but my clothes are now organized by sleeveless, short sleeved, and long sleeved. And it took me about an hour, and my arm really hurt after awhile. AND I'M STILL NOT DONE.
3. When your mother says you smell like a cupcake and she thinks it's a bad thing, the world has gone crazy.
4. When you've developed a complex system for shampooing and conditioning your hair, you have too much time on your hands. And fabulous hair.
5. When Hannah Montana is the best thing on television, you know the world of television has really declined.

P.S. WHAT THE HELL JUST KNOCKED ON THE WINDOW?

I found a new shampoo that makes my hair so shiny NASA called because I'm blinding the astronauts.

All I need is a trim and my hair will be the most fabulous hair in the UNIVERSE.

I have shiny, shiny, shiny hair. Currently I'm experimenting with thickening serum (it's LONG, but not very thick and kind of wimpy at times). It looks really, really, really good. Now I'm using a round-brush and some bobby pins to see if I can curl it any. Unfortunately I have very vain, divalicious hair that's determined to remain hippielike as long as possible, so making it have a style is kind of hard. But we'll see.

I love my hair. <3
