Day 5: 10 Interesting facts about yourself

So...I was dreading this one...I had doing "facts about self" type things. I don't know if they're interesting, or just random, or given, or blahblahblah. I shall try my best though..
[sits in room looking around and listening to music instead of thinking of interesting facts]

1. I got one of my photos published in a Calendar once. When I took photography in 10th grade we did manual photography, and my teacher had submitted one of my photographs into a contest I suppose and came back to me at like the end of the year showing me that my photo was put in the calendar lol. It was her favorite photo of mine. I remember when I developed it and showed it to her she had me do it so many times to make sure it was perfect so she could use it. That really gave me such a boost of confidence. P.S. she was/is my favorite art teacher to this day.
2. I inherit people's "catch phrases". Especially when I'm in a relationship. If I talk to someone a lot, and they have a saying that they just say A LOT then it gets sucked into my vocabulary. I have inherited "welp", "it be like that sometimes", "oi", and most recently "I guess". There are more, but these are the ones I remember most. Oi has stuck with me the longest, and I still use it to this day.
3. I get bored/tired of things really easily. I like change a lot, and sameness makes me uncomfortable. I used to really get bored of relationships, and now when I don't get tired of someone I'm really surprised and take it as a good thing lol. It's why I have such a funky [in my opinion] wardrobe, or possibly why I have so many different collections. It's also why I can't ever focus on one thing for too long....setting myself up for failure TT_TT 
4. I love nature. I love being outside, even though most of the year it wants to kill me due to my allergy induced asthma allergicness to tree sperm and living in GA. I pretty much love all seasons. Winter is cold outside so I get to enjoy the lovely winter nature in my sweaters, fall has beautiful colors, summer is all full and summery nature, and spring...well spring is the kill me kind of nature lol, but it's also my birthday time so I still love it :D.
5. Smells make me happy...nice smells that is. If you were to hug me or walk by me and I get a wif of the scent you're wearing, and I tell you that you smell nice then you have just made a portion of my day. I don't do it often because I fear that most people would take it the creep route instead of the compliment route.
6. I love spicy food! So much now that when I order food at restaurants [by the way I spelled restaurant correct on my first try...eff yes!] and it's not spicy I say "hmm this would have tasted better if it were spicy." So much that if I order spicy food I most times ask for extra spicy because restaurants don't know what spicy means...My tastebuds have been altered o.o
7. I love playing dress up. I wish I had a designated friend who would play dress up with me and go out in public in outlandish outfits and/or cosplays from time to time.
8. My favorite person in the entire world [If I could only pick one] is my mother. Hands down, no discussion, dot com, period.
9. I have a pet Guinea Pig even though I am allergic to him. I have named him Grampy because he is old man colors lol. He is the fourth Guinea Pig I have had in my lifetime. I die every time I clean his cage lol. I have just recently acquired those doctor's masks thingies so I can wear them whilst cleaning his cage. He stays in an extra room across the hall from me because if he were in my room I would never be able to breathe o.o.
10. My favorite sea creature is the octopus, and my favorite land animal is the Emu.

ok the end :D

The supplies

1. Tea of choice:
- Ceylon Black Tea Lemon
- Peppermint
2. Tea Infuser
3. Mug of choice
4. Spoon for mixing [optional, since I can use the infuser]

Getting my teas mug ready

I like to add sugar in my teas

Waiting for my water to boil

Add boiling water

Day 4: Your collection

Oh boy...my collection...
Well, I have a collection of collections actually lol. I collect so many things it's not even funny :p. Here goes :D.

#1

- Most of my kawaii collection
- Most of my Domo collection
- Beginning of my slowly growing Manga collection

#2

NAIL POLISH!!!!

 Ok, the reason I have so much nail polish is because [1] I LOVE painting my nails, and [2] I don't like to pay over $1.99 for any of my polish...ok I did pay $3.99 for one of my nail hardeners but that's about it lol.

#3

Incense!

 The yummy smells are so soothing, though I do need an open space to burn them or they'll mess with my asthma, and my nose lol. I endure most times though.

#4

Lipsticks

 I have inherited my mom's lipstick color usage when she was my age. Though I havent used them all just yet, I love all the colors. I mainly use the bright red ones though. The black one I had bought first was "Moody Black" and it changed colors to a maroon-ish color, which upset me lol so I had to get another black that was actually black.

#5

Tea

Can never have too much tea o.o. I get the most of my teas from the Farmer's Market. I had first bought the Yogi teas from Whole Foods, but it cost $1 less at the Farmer's Market. The Country Peach Tea came from Wal-Mart though.

There are a few other collections that aren't shown because I was too lazy to get them together lol. Not shown: 00G gauges, rocks [I pick one up everywhere I go pretty much], leggings/stockings, and dunny/vinyl figure.

Day 3: Your favorite nail polish

I know Day #3 is late...I was feeling like death yesterday from being ill. Was freezing and hot, body ached, and coughing...oh the coughing. Anyways, I will be doing 3 and 4 today. So no worries :D.

By "Your favorite nail polish", I'm going to guess it means which are my favorite colors to wear. If that's the case then it would have to be these:

From left to right:

1. L.A. Colors Color Craze [with hardener], NP419 Shock
2. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, 370 No Hard Feelings
3. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme wear, 340 Mint Sorbet
4. Milani Nail Lacquer, 32 Bijou Bronze
5. Sinful Colors, 973 Paradise
6. Sinful Colors, 105 Midnight Blue [wearing now]
7. Sinful Colors, 103 Black on Black

30 Day Challenge: Day 2 - Take a picture of your favorite spot

My favorite spot is my bed, under the covers, with the blinds open. Even though a good bit of the time I'd rather be out doing something, I'm comfortable here.  I can be on the interwebz all day, or listen to music all day. I legit do just about everything on this bed. When I do my art I take it up onto my bed. If I make jewelry, all my supplies come up on my bed. I remember when I was younger and I'd wake up to a cold room, I'd get changed in my bed under the covers lol. When I was away for school, that bed wasn't up to par with my bed at home but it still assumed the position of being my favorite spot while at school. Plus then I could have people come cuddle in that bed lol. Ok, that's it for day #2. Check out Day 1 HERE.

Review: Tamako Market..thus far

Tamako Market

I have fallen victim to yet another "cute" anime. The first episode I watched...I was going to give up...because I thought "Oh gah the cuteness is too much!", but I am very happy that I stayed with it. There are only 8 episodes available right now, and they have been quite the delight [can't wait for epi 9 to be subbed!]. I was actually in a not so good mood last night [when I started the anime], and it has put me in higher spirits. I feel like it tries to sneak in little bits of affirmations here and there through each episode. And the "Master" reminds me a bit of the Pigeon coffee shop owner from Animal Crossing lol. I think I'd rate it 5 stars. I don't want to continue and give any spoilers away :). If you like cute slice-of-life animes then I think you'll enjoy it as I have. Onto Sasami-san at Ganbaranai. Hope it turns out well

Day 1: Make A Wishlist

• The first thing that I always wish for when doing anything in which I'm allowed to make a random wish is Happiness. Make that Genuine Happiness. It's truly what I want in the end. I know somewhat of everyone does, but hey it's my list.
• I wish to get back into anime and manga. It has been such a long time since I've actually sat down and watched a whole anime, or read full volumes of manga. Last night was the start though! From about 12:30am-2:30am I watched epi. 1-3 of Tamako Market. [Which I will review once finished] I also have a list of manga I would love to purchase from amazon once I have "recreational" money to spend.
• My third wish would be to be able to have enough money saved to move out. I do have freedom, but at the same time my father sees me as still being 12 years old. It stunts the whole happiness wish from being fulfilled most times. 
• OoooOooo I want to go to concerts! I've been getting emails from Ticketmaster and Live Nation with all these awesome sounding concerts in my area, but I need the whole "recreational" fund thing for this as well....and someone to go with..
• My second to last wish [yes I labeled it the second to last wish] will be to actually organize my room. Getting rid of extra clutter. I'm like a stage 1 hoarder or something, but one that knows I'm doing it and really really wants to get rid of unused things. I don't just want to throw it away though...oh lawd that's what they say on the show too...great
• Lastly, I want MoMo to be able to afford the DSLR she needs because a part of me really really REALLY wants to see the youtube vid ideas she'll come up with :)

That's all I can think of wish-wise at the moment. Aside from the of course World Peace, and Happiness for all such and suchness lol. If you'd like to partake in the Challenge I welcome you to!

Oh, and yes I know March has 31 days...whatevs lol

'Til Next Time
