7 Things

Found this 7 things list here and decided to make an entry about it as well.

 

 

These aren’t in any particular order, I just happened to put a number beside them. lol But if I ever travel I think I’ll start with places in America first. Seeing as I’ve never been outside of Texas before. I really want to go to Missouri so I can visit the Red Velvet store. I hope I get to see it in person. >.<

There are tons of things I want to make at the moment.  But here are 7 things I would like to  make. 1.Fabric Folder I also want to make planners for the Ms Etsy store. The covers would look similar to this tutorial. 2. Obi Apron I’ve been wanting to make aprons for awhile now. And I thought this one would be perfect, it looks like a skirt as well. So it could be worn as one. 3. Sack Boy After playing LBP I really wanted to knit one of my own.  4. Crochet Hearts I can’t crochet to save my life. But I really want to learn how to make these hearts. But I haven’t been able to find any video tutorials on how to do so. :/ If I had someone show me, then I feel that I might be able to learn how to crochet. I find it much more difficult to learn than knitting was. 5. Coffee Cozies Another project I would like to make for the Etsy store. I was supposed to make a bunch of different projects for the store. And I haven’t made anything yet. -.- Bad I know. 6. A simple dress I want to take a stab at making a dress. Nothing too fancy something cute and simple. Like this one from the free patterns.  But I’m not sure if I could actually make a dress. 7. More messenger bags I really want to perfect making these bags. I also I want to actually learn how to do the button holes with my machine. It seems tricky but I’m going to make an attempt in learning how to do them.

Ok so there are a ton of actors and musicians and authors ect.. that I would love to meet. But here are 7 I wish I could meet. 1. Freddie Mercury He is amazing! Why wouldn’t I want to me meet him? He died three years after I was born, but  his death didn’t stop me from admiring him and his music. 2. John Lennon of course he would be another amazing musician I would like to meet. I wanted to put the rest of The Beatles on this list but I think I would be satisfied with meeting John. Plus I have some other people I would like to meet. >.< Such as…3. Neil Gaiman He is one of my favorite authors. And this video makes me laugh so much. I love how creepy he is. XD 4. Dave McKean If I get to meet Neil Gaiman then I hope I get to meet Dave McKean as well. He is so inspiring I immediately want to draw or paint something after seeing his artwork or watching Mirror Mask. He is by far my favorite artist/animator. 5. Keiyu Now I would have put all of Kra but again one member for this list is enough. Especially him he is my favorite member from the Jrock band Kra. He is so cute, I think he is even shorter than me. >.< Such a great singer too. 6. Zooey Deschanel I love love love her. She is so adorable and I can’t wait for her new show to start this fall. I’m so excited for that. 7. Elise Larson..seeing as I really hope to visit her shop. I also hope that while I’m there I get to meet her as well. I love reading her blog. She is just so inspiring that I can’t help but feel like being creative.

I do want my own car now that I can drive. :D But I know I must wait until I can get one, I’m not picky I don’t really care what kind of car it is. I just want one that is small enough for me to drive comfortably and that is safe. So until I can get a car having a cute vintage bike would be a nice distraction. lol I also really want a Fuji Polaroid camera. I’ve always thought that Polaroids were such amazing cameras. The rest of the list are pretty self explanatory, all things I hope to own some time in the future. But first I need a job to make some of these things possible. -.-

Now there are a million things that annoy me every day, I sometimes feel like everything annoys. But for the sake of this list I picked a few things that annoy me at the moment.  Obviously math will forever annoy me, -.- and since I have an eye exam next week it made the list.  Number 6 is painfully annoying. Every time I get one I’m miserable and cry due to the pain. GAH its so annoying.  And number 7 I like to paint my nails. What I find annoying is having to repaint them because they don’t dry fast enough and mess up. -.- So annoying.

This list doesn’t need explaining. I just had to put Beauty and The Beast and Thumbelina in it. Disney and Don Bluth films are from my childhood and I can remember watching them and I can remember what I felt when I watched them. They made me feel so happy and even at 21 I still can go back and watch these movies because lets face it animation is not as creative as it used to be. Hollywood creativity is dead and they just keep reusing ideas that have already been done.  So I’m glad I can return to my childhood favorites and remember a time that animation was golden.


So the only one I want to talk about is froopy which is a word that my dad made up when I kept saying the word frumpy. Kat and him kept saying frumpy wasn’t a real word. So dad then said that I was just being froopy. Which I’m guessing means being weird or something to that nature. But I dunno I just find this word funny because of the story behind it. My dad is so froopy. XD

A Fate Worse than Death…

So not in the mood to study. One being its math and it sucks, two being it is the cruelest punishment in the world. And lastly, its math and it SUCKS!!!

So I just realized that I only have 2 weeks of summer left, and then its back to Houston for college. >.< My last day of Summer school is August 17th and then I leave for Houston that weekend. I should start packing huh? I just need to pack up my clothes. That is really all I brought with me and my sewing machine. Packing sucks. :/ I’m really going to miss being home. My home in Houston is great, but I just love my small home town. Its so small and comfortable. But there are some things in Houston that I actually miss. Besides my loving roommates (Tomo and Missy) jk Mija and Jody, I’ve really missed PotBelly and Berripop. The best sandwich shop and frozen yogurt joint in Houston and also my favorite places. >.< I’ve missed them so. So the whole license before 22 plan didn’t work out. I turn 22 this September and my mom doesn’t like me driving her Yukon. And I can’t take the driving test without practicing so that dream is once again on hold. But at least I’m comfortable driving a car. I’m way closer then before, so that is something I guess. -.-

[RANT] You know what I hate more than anything? Math..yes but no another thing I really hate is deleting a file when I need it and recording a whole blog and then losing it only to find it and then realizing that my bra is in the background so therefore making it unusable. -.-  So I decided to make a video using the footage I shot the other day of me painting. However I deleted one of the best shots by accident. I don’t even remember deleting it, so that really sucks a ton of ass. >.<  BLEH I just wanted to make a vlog! Why is it so difficult?! [Rant over]

Back to original thought.I can’t believe the summer is (essentially) over. Plus my math final is next week. >.< I’m scared plus this Thursday is the second test and I don’t feel prepared at all. Test 2 is only over chapters 5 and 6 but that’s 10 sections. O.o And I know maybe 1 out 10. I really really hate math with a passion. Why can’t it just go away?!!!  Ok enough about stupid math. So I’ve been wanting to make a new layout for my blog, seeing as its been 2 years I think its time for a change. So I’ve been painting different flowers trying to get inspired on how I want my new layout to look. I have an idea in my head but I don’t know how to get it out of my head. So I’m sort of in a stand point. Hoping something will come to me. But realistically speaking my designing skills are crap. But speaking of designing skills, Mija made me some stationary which couldn’t come at a more perfect time. I signed up for a pen pal here. This is just a fun way to meet people who have the same hobbies as you do. Plus snail mail is a dying art that should be revived.   It matches my extra blog that I needed for English one semester but since I no longer need it for class I have no idea what to use that space for. Right now I should be studying for a math test that I have tomorrow. But I’m already falling asleep. Kat made pizza and I had like 5 slices so now I’m ready for a nap. >.< Math class is so stressful right now, after I finally understand something we move on to the next section and then I’m lost again. I really wish I had the same math teacher that I had last summer. He was the only person who could actually teach me. But he doesn’t have the right degree to teach college algebra. >.< So  now I’m freaking out, I have my final next Wednesday and that will be over every chapter we’ve covered. I already know the out come of tomorrows test and next weeks final. And to top it all off. I also have an eye exam on Thursday that I have to worry about. I hate getting my eyes checked. I seriously have anxiety over it and can’t sleep the night before the visit. Eye drops I can handle its when they try to take the eye pressure. My eye freaks out every time it gets too close. But I really need new glasses and in order to do that I must get my eyes examined first.  I hate it almost as much as I hate math. But for now I will only panic and stress over math, and then once Wednesday passes I’ll stress over my eyes. And then its back to worrying about math because it likes to be the cause of all my problems. (stupid math) I think my hell would be a never ending math class…either that or having to take eye exams over and over again. I cringe at the thought.

Ok enough about that, now I must make some attempt to study. -.- Wish me luck.
