My internal clock gets me up at six... on a Saturday...

[Nichi]

So, double vacation~

I'm likely going to head to the resort tonight after work, since mom's family is leaving, and stay overnight until probably Wednesday afternoon (Since I have to go to work that night). Will be nice to get away from mom for a while, and allow me to pilot test a few things I have in mind for my mini-vacation in a few weeks -w-

@Pent: Sounds nice!

@Leafy and Simon: I wish my internal clock was set to wake me up early.... :z

@Genpop: I have a confession to make ..... I've been thinking about this for a couple months now, but I haven't gotten around to telling anyone besides my dad and Stew (like, yesterday) because idk how to breach the subject. So I guess I should just say it:


I WANT TO BE A MORI GIRL.
(Or, you know, incorporate more of the style into my daily life)

EXPLAIN THIS MORAY EEL GIRL THING TO ME, YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPER

my internal alarm is somewhat proportionate to when i go to bed. thus, because i usually go to bed between 3-5am, i usually get up around 9-11am.

Basically, the aim of mori fashion is to look like a forest-dweller ... a romanticized, fairy-tale forest-dweller that is, not some sort of weird survivalist or backwoods bum (well, not entirely - mori girl fashion tends to be more romanticised and ornate while mori boy fashion is more vagabond-esque). It involves a lot of neutral & muted colors and nature-based patterns, as well as subtle prints like plaid or polka-dot; organic fabrics and materials, like cotton and wool; roomy, comfortable clothing, like flowing skirts, baggy pants, oversize sweaters, boots and scarves/shawls and lots and lots of layering. There's also a certain homemade or vintage element to it, with a lot of feminine mori clothing incorporating lace, embroidery, leather-work, patchwork and knitted or crocheted elements. As for hair and makeup, mori girls tend to keep on the natural side and stick to soft and muted color schemes. (Here's a good tumblr documenting feminine mori fashion; here's a tumblr that focuses on masculine mori fashion.)

There are lifestyle elements as well - I won't write as much about them as there is a substantial amount of variation between individuals (and I really don't like suggesting that people have to meet certain interest requirements to partake in a fashion style) but basically mori girls and boys are supposed to appreciate the natural world and elements of country living.

Sounds neat :3

So, back home for a bit to pick up some stuff, before sailing back out to the resort. More pillows required, and also some allergy meds

Raining like crazy right now, lots of thunder and lightning as well.

Decided to put the DSLR at my window pointed towards the intersection where there is a street lamp, just recording mainly the sounds but you can see the rain somewhat because of the orange light and it gives the whole scene a gentle look.

Probably going to throw the DSLR in the car later when its day time and drive around town when the streets are empty and do some video similar to this:

You guys know what sucks?

Not having internet.

-_-

Sunburn also sucks, but I kind of brought that upon myself...

[Bella]

AAAAAAAAAH GUYS, THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN DOMA (DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT, A.K.A. THAT FEDERAL BAN ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE) AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Meaning that same sex marriages will be recognized by the federal government in the same fashion that opposite-sex marriages are. And California will have marriage equality again. So proud of the US at the moment.

Also I stayed up until like 1:30 am watching the Texas Senate filibuster, which was pretty amazing ... the people in the gallery yelled and cheered and chanted for like 30 minutes straight in order to keep the senate from ending Sen. Davis' 13-hour filibuster (that was 13 hours without eating, drinking, using the bathroom, sitting or pausing her speech - they tried to strike her down by saying she got off-topic by discussing REQUIRED SONOGRAMS) and voting on the bill. The WILL OF THE PEOPLE succeeded in Texas last night. Good for them!

@bells: sounds cool man, but it also sounds like how you already dress now. -w-

I hope you got it back quickly! x.x

Haha, yeah, it kinda is. TBH I have a lot of single pieces that could work in a mori outfit / ensemble, but I have yet to figure out how to combine them in like, a cohesive fashion. xD That's what I'd like to work on.

You guys know what sucks?

Not having internet.

-_-

Sunburn also sucks, but I kind of brought that upon myself...

Sunburn and lack of internet are pretty much the worse. I hope you're back online and feeling less burnt now, at any rate. :C

[Chocofreak13]

have you been on vacation, mashtur? .__.

@bella: FUCK YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH *MAXIMUM BROFIST*

hey guys, does anyone here know how to program iphone apps?
cause i have an idea for a really, REALLY good one. like, i'd be helping to create it, and i'd still pay for it.

[Nichi]

@Bella: Very nice >:3
Also, what happened in Texas? I know nothing about it, but it's all over Tumblr with zero info beyond "LOL Texas sux"

@Nej: Sounds like my vacation. I have a slight sunburn on my back, and a lack of interwebs :\
(Was still fun, though)

@Kari: Oddly enough, while passing by The Weather Channel yesterday, I caught a report on a chance of thunderstorms for your area ^^;;
Also, nice dolls :3

So, I'm back home for a little while. The parents are going to head up tonight after dad gets off, and I think I'll go up there tomorrow morning to join them; so I have the house to myself tonight. For now, I have laundry to do, need to wash my hair, go through the pics I took, and then I have work at 5PM.

Some interesting things of note:
- The pools close at 10PM. If I had been quicker the other night, I could have gone swimming right after work, but since I got in at 9:50 and they were starting to get everyone out of the pool and lock it up, I just soaked in the epic bathtub for about an hour; drinking fruit punch from a wine glass -w-

- The on-site Pizza Hut was replaced with something called "Mama DeLuca's Pizza" and a Subway

- Their TVs have ports for everything...except composite A\V and S-Video; so I couldn't hook up my Super NES. But, it had 3 HDMI ports, so plugging in my 360 was easy (Also, picture quality was better than the LCD they had in the presidential suite 3 years ago; which had severe motion blur to a point I could only play turn-based games. Which, since I was playing Disgaea, was fine with me)

In fact I'm actually still on vacation, up at my summer villa in the north. Just a slight less disconnected at the moment, is all...

Slight. Very slight.
