Outfit Post - World Goth Day

Greetings!

Happy World Goth day to everybody! :))

I was wondering what I'd do to celebrate, as I was housebound with school today, and as I stated earlier my laptop died so it's difficult to watch a 'Gothtastic movie' per say.

Example: I'm chilling on the computer when my troll dad comes along and hangs over the chair going, "What are you watching/Looking at?" Who's that weird guy? Blah. Haha, normally it's not a problem but it's been getting annoying lately. (Especially with movies) And I'm freaked that with one violent/sex bit the parents will walk in and go WTF or something.

Anyhow.

I simply decided to 'dress up' for WGD, here's the resulting picture spam. (Unfortunately I didn't have time to repaint my nails. I have to stop wearing polish for a few days every couple of weeks or my nails rebel.)

Outfit: Black cheap boots, striped tights, fishnet stocking, black jagged jean skirt, Sisters of Mercy shirt, Sock gloves (Made by me)

I like the wall. xD

No rhyme or reason here.

THE GRASS.

I died from too much sun exposure. Should have brought a parasol.

The makeup

Makeup: Concealer, eyeliner, black eyeshadow, red lipstick/black lipstick together, mascara.

Note: A certain Dani Deathbiscuit should refrain from "Cherish loves Andrew comments' xD

I'm wearing the Tee shirt because it's SEW GAWTH...I like the BAND...Heh....Heh.....(And all my other shirts are rubbishy...I am poor :( )


Anyways.

Farewell!

Mother's Day

Greetings!

Sorry for the abysmally late post, but it's been a hard week.

My laptop just died, (Faithful companion of a year, RIP) and so I've had to work on an old Desktop. Also I've been fighting bouts of depression recently.

Anyhow. For Mother's Day we went to my Grandmother's (In the old folk's home) and met up with 3 of my aunts. We had a nice tea, two of my aunts even complimented my outfit (Although personally I think they were just being polite. I know shocked/dissaproving glances when I see them.)

Nanna however was very happy that day, and she was pleased that I'd come to see her again (Also the cake I'd made helped with that. :))

Okay. Since my mind is in a darn tangle and I can't think straight, I'll show you the photos.

No, I'm not a hunchback. It's just that dear Nanna has a vice like 'pull people over' grip.

Hardly any makeup/WAY TOO SHORT fringe/toothy smile makes me look like a potato. It's just a shame my bun wasn't visible...It'd lessen the egg head look. :(

Me, Mom, Nanna

That's about as close to an 'outfit post' as there is atm. I'm just too dead in the head to even write much...

One thing I will say is that I have noticed everyone is making vlogs nowadays...I know I make nervous laughs and twitch/Look generally stupid but would you like me to try for another vlog? (Putting that 'Accent Challenge failure far far behind me...)

Also a warning, for those who've seen the aformentioned accent challenge vid, you will see that I have a fairly strong American accent....And I stutter awkwardly at times. 

I really have no idea what I'd say...Perchance I'd talk about Personal/Music Taste/Fashion or such?

Hmm. Anyhow.

Farewell!

16th Birthday Picspam

Greetings!
Yesterday was my 16th birthday, and even though (As I mentioned in my last post) my friend is avoiding me, my family and I had a splendid little party over two days.

Unfortunately for me on both days I had a nasty case of swollen glands in the neck, so I couldn't talk much, had to be enshrouded with a giant scarf, and worst of all, I couldn't taste much and it hurt to eat.

(A sort of birthday present?! *Grrrrrrrr*)

Nevertheless, I still pursued my birthday plans, and on the day it was lovely, cold and rainy. (No sunlight, rain is quite lovely weather for me) , and mom and I went out and got a lovely marble mud cake (My first actual bought cake, before my sister or myself would make cakes)

Here it is :)

(I did however try to make a chocolate cake and it went well until our hell of an oven burnt it.)

Considering I wasn't at all feeling well, most of the day was spent just sitting around watching Doctor Who and Young Dracula <--A new TV series I've become interested in...

In the evening we ate fish and chips/pizza for dinner, then I opened my gifts:

A glass cup with a candle and flowers (My favorite present)

Nutritional chocolatish bars. :)

Shampoo, for my birthday? Lol

Mass pile of presents and paper.

Energy drinks? God knows I don't need that XD

My Medieval folklore book finally arrived in the mail!

Mom and I with the cake. :)

I found silver candles and was veeerrry pleased! :D

Derp Face

:)

After that we lit sparklers and popped party poppers, then watched 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' (<--A cute movie, plus young Johnny Depp + Orange hair = WIN) and X-Men. :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day we went to see my Grandma, she was really happy (More happy than I've ever seen her) She kept giving me hugs and kept singing 'Sweet Sixteen' with the emphasis of 'Never Been Kissed' <---I have to admit that's true...

Then I lit a couple of candles on the pieces of cake that we brought, and Nanna and my parents took great happiness on singing happy birthday a couple of times.

After that it was pretty much over, but even though I didn't have any friends over, it was still special for me. :)

Also, on facebook one of my ex-friends sent me a birthday card and we chatted a bit...Honestly, it was nice hearing from her again, she was the friend I really missed most.

Oh, and the lovely Amy (Stripy Tights and Dark Delights) also wished me happy birthday, made me feel really special. :D

That about sums stuff up.

Farewell!

Babybat-esque Post

Greetings!
I've not been posting much lately...and as shy as I am about discussing 'Babybat Blues' I figured people might like to read about it anyway, as outfit posts are practically gone...my camera is dead.

It's my 16th birthday coming up, and a few months till I'll be Goth for a full year (Oh my gawddd :P) and most people don't care about how I dress now.

But I was kind of annoyed the other day, as I had nothing else to wear so I pulled out an ancient blue shirt and mom and dad stared at me for a bit, then mom went raving on about how "You're wearing color, you look so pretty, blah" and as much as I suppose that's a basic comment every Goth gets if they wear color, it still was kind of irritating, and made me think of 'Just a phase' comments, and how my parents may now hope that I'll go sliding back to the silly teen who wore plaid flannel shirts and brown or blue jeans.

I'm aware that they're quite alright with my decisions, but it's difficult hearing such things non the less.

And also what's saddening is that my only friend I have (Yes for some random horrid reason I've had three friends leave me) is now avoiding me because of my 'looks'. <--She wants me to Scene my hair, wear skinny jeans and lighter makeup. 'And to lay off the black' <---UGH

We've known each other for years and for the sake of our friendship I've tried to wear color and untease my hair when I visit her, but her and her whole family keep looking at me like I'm some kind of a freak.

What's also disapointed me is that I don't think she'll come to my birthday party, as I think she's kind of nervous being around our house. As much as I try, my room is dark paradise with all the spiderwebs, Gothy pictures and dark colors. The coffins on the window don't help! <---As much as I would love to throw pink covers all over all the decor that's just not easily possible. :(

I would explain to her, but she's quite determined in her assumptions and as her family are church Christians (Not to mention her mom influences her SO much) they even think Halloween is 'The Devil's Day' or something like that.

Hey, I'm 'Christian' (<--Sort of, no church though.) but I hate being called that because it automatically stereotypes me...So if anyone asks I say 'I'm a missionary.'

Okay, well I'm awfully sorry for this complaining rant, but to be honest (Although I'm not inclined to ask for help) I could use some encouragement from you lovely bloggers...I really consider you guys my friends. :) And I know how all of these complaints are so so common among babybats, but that doesn't make it any easier.

And just for fun: About a week ago I couldn't resist the urge to go back and listen to some Emilie Autumn music, and to my surprise one week later I'm constantly listening to her music, ALL THE TIME, and completely loving it! I particularly like the Opheliac album, although I also like some of the Enchant and Fight like a Girl stuff.

Just thought you'd like to know of my 'conversion' xD as a few months ago I was saying how much I disliked EA's stuff. Not anymore! :D

Anyhow, could use encouragement atm.

Farewell!

Random/Bat Fit Update

Greetings!
Again with a Bat Fit post. :D, but I guess I'll include a few other random things, it's been a while since we had a Baby bat post or suchlike.

I know some people hate seeing posts talking about someone's daily life, but I personally love reading about what other people are up to, just saying. :D

I'm turning 16 in less than a month, so I'm quite busy trying to pull my slack together, so far things have been going well, even though I got into a massive fight with my sister the other week, we've gotten over it and she's moving house so I can resume piano playing again. *Makes excited face*

And for those who wish to know: My depression has gone away for the most part, and I'm involved in a lot more things like knitting, cooking and sewing, as well as more steady exercise. (THANK YOU BAT FIT :))

And as for self esteem issues, I've become more comfortable wearing 'Goth' clothes and not caring what random folks think, and the other day I forced myself to wear a miniskirt, boots and a spaggheti strap top, and every one said how slim I was, haha. (If you've seen my photos you probably know I am quite conservative.)

Speaking of slim, here's the Bat Fit update!

I weighed myself yesterday and WHOOP I LOST 4 KILOS!! Not to mention I'm now having to wear a belt with pants that haven't fit me for 3 years, and I've gone down a cup size or so in bras! (10H is now 10G or double G...Not sure yet) *Hugs self and squeals like a retarded pig*

I'm in no way thin, but at least my legs don't wobble when I try to wear a swimsuit <---Mom likes to tease me about it every time we go to the pool. :P

Well, that's about all for now. I ate massive amounts of potato chips over Easter weekend, so I need to dash to the pool.

Farewell!

Ps: I studied several GED practice tests for preparation, and to my surprise all six tests I took I got 100% on. (Besides the Math test. I'm a trash bin at Maths. :() I doubt I'll have this kind of luck in the REAL thing, but it's nice to know that I've got a chance. Still, got two years to go...

Interview with Dani

Greetings!
I'm happy to say that today I was interviewed by the lovely DaniDeathbiscuit of Confessions of an Australian Goth!

You can find the interview here: Interview with Dani

Ps: I have a feeling I'm going to be teased for the goth crush section. :D But that was back during my first month, so no big deal. xD

Farewell!
