Ennui

Big fancy word of the day meaning "Boredom."
Sigh....
I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with Summer boredom so I'll save you my problems. It just always seems like everyone is hanging out with everyone else and no one seems to invite me.  Which is fine, I guess. It's just that I've never really had a "Best Friend," so to speak. I've had a couple of really good friends that I consider "best friends," but when it comes down to the wire, they always have someone else who they consider their best friend. I'm used to it by now, and to tell the truth, I don't really open myself up to people the way your supposed to to get a best friend, so I guess it's kind of my fault.  It can get a little lonely though.
Also, still trying to find a job! I'm pretty hopeful about some of the places that I've applied, and I've had a couple of interviews, so cross your fingers for me!
 As a side note, I redesigned Princess Peach from Mario and totally made her from the Victorian Era. I plan on doing the same thing with Princess Daisy. Princess Rosalina, on the other hand, I plan to make from the Regency era, seeing as her dress design lends more to the elegant flowing dresses of Regency versus the elaborate bustle dresses of the Victorian.
I really love bustle dresses. As a child, I didn't understand them. I thought it was stupid to want a dress that makes your butt look bigger. That all changed when we went to a production of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" and the director had decided to give it a Victorian flair. Oh my goodness, those were some of the prettiest gowns I have ever seen. And thus began my lifelong affair with bustle gowns.
Any way, I will try to be more frequent for posts. And I'm sorry if the first paragraph makes me sound like a whiny teenager. It just felt good to type down my feelings. The problem is, I've had too much "me time" this summer, and I tend to dwell on unhappy thoughts. Pay them no mind.
(I'm trying to decide on a way to sign these, since my dear friend Mir1 has the cutest tag line... so how about...)

Love and Sparkles!

  1. I promise I consider you to be a best friend! You are super fun and lovely and I've missed you SO MUCH this summer. However, almost every time I've called you, no one answers the phone. I've been super lonely too, and also trying really hard to get a job. And Kitsune has been working a lot, and so I only see her once or twice a week at best. We thought you were purposefully trying to spend a lot of time with family since your going to move out in the fall. Come to Singles ward Sunday! Also, Nee-chan hasn't been having her hang outs as often as she used to. Love you! -the Blue Kay-chan (I also have started a blog. It's crimsonruin.blogspot.com)
