steps for dealing with silly life problems
avoid talking about it in detail on the internet, because so many people I know in real-life read my blog
STOP feeling sorry for myself because I feel like I have no one, especially of the guy variety, to talk to about it in person (which is more satisfying than whining on the internet)
continue to eat mint ice cream (walgreens is the best brand because you get a huge box AND because it turns...

resolution #1 : no more uneccessary online...
This includes:
clothes
shoes
This does not include:
books
things I would buy in store anyway (sketchbooks, hair dye)
really good deals (like a dress on ebay for $5 including shipping)
There are always awesome new fashion items coming out and there’s no way I could afford to keep up with them. It’s so tempting to keep a list of things I would get once I have the money. But that...

That’s so great to hear!
You definitely don’t need a serger. :] I went 9 years of my life not even knowing they existed, haha. The main thing that sergers are used for is speed (and they work really well with knit fabric).
A sewing machine is plenty strong enough for clothing projects. And to be honest, “couture” sewing almost never uses a serger. Which shows that you...

does anyone ever wonder what they're doing with...
I frequently do. But instead of letting my doubts or lack of a clear path slow me down, I try to force myself to keep busy on new projects, though it’s difficult to do sometimes.. Even if they aren’t what I feel like I “should” be doing, they usually lead me to find something that will lead me forward.
To me, working on random projects always feels better than sitting...

A thrift store is a store that sells used clothing and other items, basically almost everything you can think of from old printers to barbie dolls. Usually everything is donated to a thrift store, but certain stores buy their items and then re-sell them for a profit (these are called resale shops).
“Thrifted” in this sense means I found and bought the dress at a thrift store. :] And...

bi-weekly messages?
Originally I thought I would answer messages in one post weekly, but it looks like I’ll have to do it more often than that. Thanks for all the love guys!! ;p
I actually get most of them from thrift stores~ The only ones I’ve bought from an actual store are the black hooded ones. You can usually find blank clothing in the fabric painting section of craft stores. :]
Waah these are...

I'm going through all my Japanese and Taiwanese...
…and it’s amazing how so many of the things in the magazines are in style now, 2-3 years later. I keep seeing creepers, crosses, metallic or patterned leggings. Asian fashion always seems to be ahead of American and European fashion by at least a few years.
This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed it either. Years before lace and floral became popular here, I saw it all over...

weekly messages
I’m thinking about posting responses to questions and messages each sunday, all at once (instead of one at a time throughout the week). This way they’ll all be in the same place and I won’t clog up your dashboards with answer posts. :]
I’ll be including both anonymous and non-anonymous messages in these posts, even though I may have answered non-anonymous messages...
