Inside Kimmy's Mind

Another entry of things I love….I actually keep meaning to vlog but finals are next week and this week has been packed full. >.< I feel like a ball of negative energy, I really hope I pass my cinema and sociology finals.

1. Sour Patch Jelly Beans! I just got a ton of Easter candy and this is a new favorite. I shouldn’t be eating it because its not good for my braces but they are sooooo yummy! :9

   

2. The wonderful Mika- He is soooooo adorable!! >.<

3. Fuji Polaroid Camera-Sooooo freaking cute, yet soooooooo freaking expensive. >.<

4. Orchids have to be my favorite flowers. I love drawing them and painting them using watercolor.

5. I love love this robot fabric- I want to make so many things with it. >.<

Can’t wait for the semester to finally be over!!!!

Another entry of Things that I love!!! I know it is rather exciting. XD

1. I just bought this book, and now I want to just stay in my room with my sewing machine and get started. It is the perfect instructional book, and it has gotten my creative juices flowing. (that saying kind of grosses me out) >.<

2. Wooden Drawing Hands- I want one sooooooooo bad. Not even just to use it as a drawing aid. But I just find them so cool that I want one in my room. Plus I think it would come in handy when taking product pics for Mind-Speaks.

3. Border Collie- <3 I saw this one at the park when we went to the Indie Book Festival and I couldn’t help but want one. Mija managed to catch him on cam such a cutie. (the pic above isn’t the same puppy on cam) lol

4. berripop !!!! I know I’ve mention this numerous times, but I seriously cannot get enough of this yogurt. It is so freaking delicious.

5. This Eco-friendly brand- I just bought a package of three notebooks from Target. So I gave one to each of my sisters. Look here.  I should try to be more Eco-friendly. >.<

That’s it for another week of Things I love…I hope I can keep it up. lol Listing things I love is harder than I thought it would be.

I have started playing Pokemon White recently on my ds. And I must say I’m impressed.

I tried playing Pokemon pearl and gold but it just did not catch my fancy. My sister Mija and Jo Bro are already pretty far in the game. Also they both caught the legendary Pokemon Victini. The little bastard just won’t stay in the freaking Poke ball. So now I must level up so I can catch the cheeky bastard.

Cute little thing no? Well anyway, speaking of DS I’m sure you have seen the ads for the new 3DS. -.- I am NOT happy about this. I don’t even enjoy watching movies in 3D let alone playing games with that option. We went to Gamestop to see what the big deal was about and its nothing. Besides the teal color, I have no interest in the 3DS.(ok minus the game street fighter) I played it and it  was fun, as long as you keep the ridiculous 3D option off you will enjoy the game, however the buttons aren’t as comfortable as the DSLite. But that is just my opinion.

I feel like the DS XL JUST came out and they are already bringing out the 3Ds? WHY?!!! I think Nintendo is catching the apple bug and is just trying to keep up. My main concern is, does this mean that the old format games were put out will be obsolete? I keep getting mixed signals on Google, some say the game card won’t even fit in the older DS models. >.< Sooooooo annoying. Why can’t they just keep it the same. (DUH THEY WANT MORE MONEY) Which I don’t blame them. New model obviously means updated card designs as well. So older DS models won’t be able to play the new games made for 3DS. :/ SUCKS!!!!

Yes this entire entry was about video games and Pokemon. -.-  This is what a college student thinks about. Serious stuff. >.<  Next entry will actually be about serious stuff…I swear.

Spring break is over. >.< I really don’t want it to end!!!!

So we went home this weekend to drop off the brat…I mean my loving sister Kat. So when we arrived Saturday afternoon, we saw the presents mom had bought us. She bought each of us a suitcase and overnight bag. So freaking adorable, I can’t get over how cute it is. So we went back to JcPenny and she bought herself one as well to match us. Hers has a pink floral print on it and both Kat and I have dots in our favorite colors while Mija’s is blue with wavy lines. I always thought Mija was the matching freak, but she had to get it from someone. Which is totally not a bad thing, I like when things match as well. And when you have two sisters that enjoy most of the same things as you do; buying things in 3?s becomes habit. But of course they have to be different in some way, like color or pattern. lol

I’ve never actually owned luggage before now, and I’ve been wanting an overnight bag for the longest time. I love the shape of it and its similar to the Paperchase ones I’m so in love with. So I’ve been enjoying my time at home, so much so that I wish this up coming week was my spring break so I could stay home for a week. >.<

Already back in Houston and I miss my parents and Kat. Having Kat here for a week was really fun, it ended up feeling normal.. plus she would cook things for us and that is always great. I’m glad I get to come again this weekend. Of course that means going through a week of classes first. -.- Sigh suck it up I know.

It is Thursday morning. And my spring break is almost over.  I hate the feeling when something you like comes to an end.

I know I should make the most of things and enjoy it while it lasts but it is sort of hard to enjoy something when I know it is almost over. Its the same feeling I get when I’m on the last page of a really good book. I try to read really slowly just so I can have another day with it. I knew this week would go by in the blink of an eye, so this isn’t a surprise. Kat is here with us this week. We went to the Galleria on Saturday and Kat bought some outfits. She also bought me this great journal which I’m sure I’ve mentioned in a previous post. Its from the paperchase brand that I love so much. And the funny thing about it is that Mija noticed a flaw on the bottom right typewriter. A graphic screw up and now it bothers her. It makes me laugh, because I’m curious to know how this screw up occurred. They basically cut and copied a bit of the space bar and scooted it up to replace a missing key or something. But why the space bar? They could have just cut around another key and then used black as a shadow to cover around it or something. She also bought herself a small notebook from the same brand. Its so cute and it really suits her.  On Tuesday I took her on a small tour of my campus and then we had lunch with Mija and Jody at NRP. She really wanted to have the metro experience. We went on 4 buses that day which is the normal total of buses I take on a normal school day. She said it was fun, and it is fun when you have someone to ride it with you. But if you are going by yourself then its not so much as fun as …annoying. Especially when your bus decides to be late that day. But anyway, so after lunch Jody drove us to Berripop and Kat bought us some frozen yogurt. I am so addicted to this stuff and now so is Kat. Its been awhile since I’ve had a chance to enjoy some so that was a nice treat. Kat got watermelon with granola and kiwi and I chose strawberry yogurt with strawberries and cheesecake bits. :9 So yummy I’m craving it again.

So far the rest of the week we haven’t done anything besides sleep late and in. I have a 5 page essay I should be writing right now but I just want to lay down and be lazy. I wanted to go to F.I.T but I don’t think we will have time to go this week. -.- sucks. Also Saturday morning my dad is in a jeep show, he gets to show off Midnight to the community. I don’t remember the make I just know it is an older jeep that he bought and fixed up. Its his pride and joy, he has put a lot of time and money into fixing it up.  Ok so now I should start doing my homework or I’m gonna end up doing it last minute and its due on Tuesday.

So Kat and I went on an adventure the other day. Just the two of us. I even woke up early which was weird, regular lazy Kim would’ve just wanted to stay in bed. But again as I said in the last post, the bug man was coming to spray.

Dad said it would take 2 hours but it didn’t seem to take that long. But I still had fun with Kat, a vlog will be up later to show what we did. I just have to convert the video files. :/ My new handycam is amazing. It just has a video codex that premiere hates. -.- But luckily the files work ok in movie maker. So I edit a bit there and then publish them on mm and then drag those files into to premiere to do some final editing. And hopefully the playback quality isn’t compressed or choppy. Anyway, so Kat and I decided to try out the mini metro here. And we went to The Local for lunch, it was great I had a lot of fun. Then we just walked around town for a bit. And then Kat got tired. -.- So we walked to the park and she took an hour nap. She said she felt like a hobo sleeping in the grass like that. XD Silly Kathy. While she slept I just played ds until the battery died anyway. Then after she woke up we took some more pictures and then walked to the orthodontist for Kat’s appointment. And that was the end of the adventure, it was a lot of fun and I’m glad we did it.

Thursday Cate came over and we played Just Dance again. I love hanging out with Cate she is one of the few friends from High School that I still see and talk to. She is moving to Galveston and transferring to UTMB so I won’t get to see her every time I visit home. But we plan to Skype every now and then.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Another Christmas has gone by and it was wonderful. As usual.:D

I don’t have a job, so no money to buy gifts so I usually make my family gifts. But making something for my parents that they will actually want/use is pretty difficult. I couldn’t think of anything to make them either so I just offered suggestions on what to get them. :/ I only made gifts for Mija, Jody and Kat. For Mija I made her a ds case, for Jody I knitted him a scarf, (I just learned how to knit and word of advice-make sure you count stitches.>.< ) And for Kat I made her a cute apron, but its not quite finished yet. I still have to sew on the pockets and make sure it fits her right. When we were younger Christmas was mainly for us. Our parents didn’t really get presents, so now that we are older we can actually get them presents. I’m glad that Christmas can also be for my parents and not just about us.

Kathy got an Xbox and even dad is playing it. I can’t even play it unless I wake up early enough and that is not going to happen. But watching him play is pretty funny, he gets this  look on his face that means,” I am in the zone, do NOT mess with me. ” Pretty funny.  Well I got a new video camera and I’m about to take it out and go on an adventure. There is this mini metro here in my town that will take us to Lake Jackson. So being without a car and all this is actually pretty useful. We have the bug man coming to spray our house so we don’t get bugs, he comes every year and so today he is coming and we need to be out of the house for 2 hours so we are gonna take the transit and go to the Local or maybe the park depending on how cold it is. It looks rainy outside so I’m thinking the Local. lol We are gonna have lunch and then explore downtown Lake Jackson. XD Which won’t take long. lol I just think it is funny that it is called downtown. And then at 3:45 we will go to Kat’s Ortho. and then dad will pick us up and take Kat to work. And that is the plan for today. Hopefully everything works out.

So I was just browsing through some blogs on bloglovin‘ and this blog just happened to have a really interesting post.

The Girls With Glasses Show

They are so adorable, I love their videos. Plus they wear glasses, I’ve been wearing since the 4th grade. I thought glasses were the coolest things in the world. I would even pretend I wore glasses before I had to. My cousin had some old glasses that she has popped the lenses out and I would wear them all the time. I thought glasses just magically made you smarter. I remember when my dad took me to get my eyes checked for the first time, and on the way I said, “I hope I get glasses.” I was an excited 9 year old. My dad then yelled at me saying that I shouldn’t wish to have poor eye sight. He was the kid with tape between his glasses. Except after he got into high school he stopped wearing glasses.

Every time I had an eye exam (I hate getting my eyes checked) I was always asked about contact lenses, and I would immediately just tell them no thank you. I rather like my glasses, and I would probably poke an eye out trying to get the contact in. >.< I have nervous eyes.  Anyway, I love wearing glasses and since I’ve been wearing them for 12 years already they have molded to my face and I look ridiculous without them. -.- So when I have to pose for my driver’s license and they insist/force me to remove my eyes when taking the picture, that is when my nervous eye habit really kicks in.  It takes like 40 mins for me to take a picture without blinking.  So there are some Kimmy facts you just had to know. -.-;

Back to the reason I’m making this post. I just wanted to share this with you.

The cutest theme song and video if you ask me.

So for Halloween weekend we went to Oni-Con. And we got to see and interview the J-rock band GAKIDO. The concert was awesome, I was in front and got hit a lot by the bass player Rito. GAKIDO was really nice and funny during the interview. Even their manager was nice, he gave us water. :3 Shutaro is my favorite member and he was so freaking hilarious. The entire band was really energetic on stage the live was exciting and the band kept the fans pumped up I had a lot of fun. And for Halloween we just spent the night at home and watched The Walking Dead. Its a good show, of course I hate Rick’s wife. How can she just start sleeping with her husbands best friend? I mean you are in the middle of an apocalypse shouldn’t she just be concentrating on surviving? And oh yeah mourning your supposedly dead husband?! I know its to add dramatic effect, I just really hope someone tells him that his wife slept with his best friend. Just saying.

What Mija and I wore for Halloween.

Ok. So I am finally enrolled at UH. Transferring is so complicated. -.- But I’m finally enrolled and now I just have to get a loan and then pay for classes and buy my text books.

The other day Kat and I got our new glasses.  Then mom took us to Hastings where I found the movie book of Mirror Mask for three bucks. Mirror Mask is one of my favorite movies. Its made by my favorite people, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean. I absolutely adore them. So I was happy to find this book for 3 bucks when it originally cost like 16 bucks.  Mom also bought me these recycled paper journals from Target. I love getting new journals. I mostly update my blog now but I’ll write in a handwritten journal now and then. And for me you can never have enough journals. When I went to Borders I saw this journal. I love Paperchase its a UK brand so I can’t order this journal online. -.- Hopefully Borders will still have it. Anyway, Kat got this book called Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. I read it in a day and half, I couldn’t put it down. What I loved most about this book  was that its written in both the main girl’s and guy’s pov. I liked Sam’s pov better because his thoughts were more interesting. Its romantic and exciting, its the type of book where you can’t turn the page fast enough, and when its over you are left with this achy feeling.  I cannot wait to read the sequel. -.- I usually always have a book to read. But I don’t have one. So I’m borrowing one of Kat’s yet again. She didn’t want me reading Shiver before her because when we read books we usually tell each other about the book we are reading. But she wanted to read this one herself. >.< I do the same with movies, I want to tell others the ending before the movie has even started.

So Cate came over last Saturday, and we played Just Dance on Wii. And that game is indeed a work out. My arms were so sore after playing. -.- I am sooooooooo out of shape. But I had so much fun with Kat and Cate. Then after dancing we ate dinner and sat and played Smash Bros and then took some pictures until my cam battery died. I should have charged it. Cate is so adorable. And I have so much fun when I am with her. I don’t really hang out with friends often I’m such a lazy person.

Ok so Kat and I went to the Orthodontist the other day. They took some pictures and x rays, then they made molds of our teeth which I thought I was going to choke when they were doing the top teeth. Next week we have another meeting before they can actually put braces on us. >.< I hate all this waiting, I just want to get it over and done with. Man people born with perfect teeth have it so easy. -.- But I just keep saying to myself that I will have perfect teeth too after what 2 years? I can do this. Right? >.<  Oh yeah I totally forgot I painted my second Munny last week. I love kid-robot.  This time I think I did a much better job on it. I used my cell case and ipod for inspiration. And I like it a lot, I think its so cute and it has more personality then the first one I painted. I should have sent this one to Hyun, but I couldn’t resist painting another one. >.<
