Peanut Butter Kisses

I want to go badly.

Do you think it's do-able with a grand?

So last week I bought my first ever Baby the Stars Shine Bright skirt from a seller on egl_comm_sales on livejournal. She mailed it out the same day I made payment.

I was so happy!! It was a Alice in Sweetland print. It was in Burgundy. It worked. it wasn't bright pink and it wasn't my normal black.

Fast forward to today!

I get a call from Missa saying she saw mail for me sitting by the mail box. This was around 245pm. I wasn't off till 4 and promised to met Debra to give her the stuff my mother brought back from Disneyland Paris. I'm figuring okay, it shouldn't be bad. It will be okay. I found it funny too because the mailman always leave me and Jaime pink slips. He never has left a box sitting out there.

I get to Jaime's building and it's not there. I go upstairs thinking maybe, Jeremy came home, saw it, and took it.

Nothing.

I text Missa saying the package is gone. She calls me to tell me it was a box.

I'm pissed.

I run down 2 blocks to the post office where people go to get their packages if they get a pink slip. The two fucktards working there couldn't help me for jack shit. She just said call back tomorrow for the Supervisor. She then asked if I got a pink slip. I told her no because it was seen by someone one the fucking steps. If I got a pink slip I wouldn't be here complaining. She said the mail man should of left a slip and brought back the box.

No shit! You think?

So I start writing notes and leaving them on the front door and by the mail boxes saying I want the box back. No questions asked. Just leave my skirt at the Apt. door. I was mad I wanted to go knocking on everyone's door asking who took my box.

Instead I left notes on people's door to leave my skirt by the door.

Deep down, I know I'm not going to see the skirt ever. And you know what kills me?

Missa saw the damn package and 2 hours later someone took it. Missa saw my box and I'll never see the skirt.

All I'm left with is a credit card bill of $100 for that skirt.

To whoever took my box, I hope you are enjoying the skirt and you better take good care of it.

BUT

If I ever see you and you are walking around with that burgundy skirt with Alice sweet theme on it (and you can't say you bought it from around here because it's from a JAPANESE CLOTHING COMPANY), I'm gonna have your fucking head on a god damn fucking silver platter and I'm going to have it for lunch you piece of fucking shit!!

This rent control issue is really scaring me. I was fine till my lovely co worker started talking about it and showed me one of the articles in the newspaper.

Pretty much if Prop. 98 passes, rent control will be removed and people are saying the landlords can pretty much either kick you out or raise your rent. As we all know, living in San Francisco is not affordable. If the rent in my place goes up I might not be able to afford it. I mean, if it hits 1,000 then maybe but my room mate aka my brother won't be able to. He can barely pay what we pay now and it's peanuts. PEANUTS what we are paying. My mother rented this apt. in 70's and she never moved. We live there now.

I don't want to move out and find another place. I don't want to move in with a bunch of people I don't know in another part of SF. I don't want to shove in 5 people into a tiny 2 room place just to keep living downtown.

They say that if rent control is gone, more buildings will be build and rent will be lowered. Haven't they figured out it doesn't work that way? The article also said that Boston did away with their's and rent doubled. You know it will happen in San Francisco.

She's still babbling on about it. I really want her to shut up about it. I told my mother and she said they always put something like that on the ballot and it never passes. She told me not to worry and it will be fine.

Rar... I hope so.

You know you need to add more color to your wardrobe when you're boyfriends daughter picks up a pair of bright pink pj pants, goes to her dad, laughs, says "Gladys has pink pjs" and laughs some more.

Oh yea, she found it amusing that I own BRIGHT PINK pants. For someone who only saw me pretty much every day before her mother took her away a year ago and I only now see for a week every 5, she knows who I truly am. I will be grateful for that, however long it lasts.

In other news, I might be hitting Fanime. ^_^  It has been a long time since I've been to a Anime Con. I was talking to Missa and we shall be aiming for the weekend. I'm hoping my day off request went through. Jaime has never been to a Anime Con so I'm hoping he can go as well. We shall be traveling on Greyhound or Cal Trains. We need to figure out which one gets us closer to the San Jose Convention center. I'm kind excited. I want to see people I haven't talked to in ages.

I kinda closed myself off to people. So many incidents happen with people who I thought were my friends and I shut myself away. I closed myself up like an oyster. Some were big, some were small, and some did hurt but after all was said and done, it was stupid. I guess, if we are still meant to be friends, we can pick up where things left off....? Time will tell.

I still need to post some of the Disneyland photos but gah, the thought of re sizing them makes me lazy. I'll post some I promise.... some day.

I still haven't opened my Mario Kart game. I need to fix that.

So, I have been lurking and checking out the "Lolita" fashion. I've always been curious about it but I don't think I can pull the cuteness off. It's bright colors and cute designs. I mean I love them, I just don't wear bright at all.

I could pull off the accessories like shoes, bags, necklaces, headbands/bows but that's pretty much it.

Lately, I've been checking out the Baby, The Stars Shine Bright store and found some cute tops. There's one of Alice walking with the White Rabbit. I need it. Also, they have a Alice and the Pirates theme going and I found a tote bag, They do ship from Japan but EMS shipping is expensive. I wish I knew people in SF that wanted to order stuff so I could split shipping costs.

I am in the works of buying my first Baby, The Stars Shine Bright skirt. It's a Burgundy color so it's not bright and it has Alice in a Wonderland "Sweet/Candy" theme. I couldn't resist. I'm using some of my rebate money for it. The clothes can be expensive.

If you don't know about the fashion, check out Wiki article on it.

I was doing some wondering on Yahoo!Japan auctions (bad idea) and bid on some 3D nail designs. I bid on a Marie and was trying for Stitch. I lose that one. I also got a set of purple themed ones and polka dot with crystal that formed Minnie on them. I hope they fit me.

Wheel and everything. I can't wait to play!!

Disneyland was major fun. I got to met my Belle and Jaime's daughter got to met her Cinderella.

She was up in San Francisco for the week. I took her to Color me Mine in Westlake to make a plate for him for Father's Day. Of course, she told him she painted a plate. There was drama with her mother because she had fun with "my Gladys." I was expecting the yelling to be about her daughter and me at Disneyland but instead it was about a plate and her having fun with me.

What can you do?

I was disappointed with Color me Mine though. It was Tea Thursday. Pretty much you paint a tea pot and get a tea cup for free. There were no tea cups to be found and all the sample/colored tea pots I liked, they didn't have for me to paint. Later, the sale girl tells me since it's not a popular night, they don't ordered much tea stuff and then it turned out the free tea cup was pretty much a sake cup.

I get to pick up the finished plate tomorrow. I'm hoping nothing happens to it because the next time she's up here is June. I read reviews on yelp.com and they were pretty bad. One lady said they broke most all the pieces her and her friends had worked on. =/

I finally picked up my "I hate you" neckalce! I got a 60 dollar gift card and used it towards it. I want to wear it at work but I don't think I can get away with it. They don't like me wearing the Pirate Pistol necklace so I doubt a "I hate you" one would fly at the Concierge desk.

Oh, I also did a lot of thrift shopping. I'll post pictures of my finds. I found a Scooby Doo Clue board game, VHS tapes of Sailor Moon dubbed, some tea cups, and clothes!

I just wanted to do a quick update. I hope everyone is doing well out there. I'll post pictures from Disneyland soon!

Someone explain this to me.

How can I be getting a refund from Federal but owe the State?

I owe the State! I have never owed the State any money.

I owe the state? How?

Of course, timing is shitty because Disneyland is this weekend and I also don't get paid till next Friday!

I owe the State?

I have to pay them by tomorrow?! My bank account is crying!

But I did qualify for the tax rebate! That beautiful money is going into my Tokyo savings account. Woooooot!!

I'm going back to Tokyo. I wanted to do it this year but I decided to push it back (Thank god!) so I can have even more spending money!

I'm still sad that their shoes don't fit me. I couldn't get my toes into a LL. I need to pick up some Kimono/Yukatas. I spaced out and didn't get any from my first trip.

I should make a list.

I owe the State money?!

Teacup

The fun begins SATURDAY the 19th!!

What happened the first time you were left home alone as a child?
Submitted by Warhead.

I don't recall much about my childhood but being who I am, I most likely burned something to the ground.

I wasn't a bad child just that curiosity always got the best of me. Maybe this is why I like Alice (in Wonderland) so much. It's just sad that I haven't been to Wonderland yet.

Her Wonderland  anyways.
