Come up to meet you, teℓℓ you I'm sorry. You don't know how ℓoveℓy you αre.

Long Division//Death Cab for Cutie
UGH GAH THIS SUCKS SHIT AND I MADE IT IN A RUSH CRAP I HAVE TO MOW THE LAWN SHIT SHIT SHIT AND SOME LITTLE IDIOT WILL REPORT ME FOR FUCKING SWEARING BUT I DON'T CARE.
 
First off, thanks, Polyvore, for including my previous set in your homepage/top sets collection again. That's the 3rd set already... I never expected that to even happen, heh. So, thanks. That's pretty awesome.

Miranda, here you are. I know I said an hour ago that it would take a few days, but I got inspired. Somewhat. But just be warned; according to astrology, Pisces has some of the worst fashion sense: http://derpastrology.tumblr.com/post/27406293780/signs-and-their-sense-of-fashion-from-best-to-worst
And since I have a lot of Aquarius influence, I'm like half Pisces, half Aquarius. And look where Aquarius is, herp de derp.
First off, I'm so glad that you're even considering cosplaying one of my favorite characters ^_^ Now, we just need a certain person to be the Sweden to your Finland... you know :D
Keep in mind, these aren't the exact clothes. They're just suggestions. You have no idea how long it took me to find fucking men's clothes. So, let's guide you through this set. It was partly inspired by the extra episode of the Nordics and Finland's character sheet (someone uploaded character sheets, and Canada and Finland were on the same page-you know me; I had to like it on Tumblr: http://hetaliaconfessions.tumblr.com/post/14835693951/jemmalep-finland-and-canada-character-sheets)
On the left side is your basic outfit:
-Jeans (normal jeans, straight leg, medium to dark wash; no skinny jeans or colored jeans or skinny colored jeans, like the hot pink ones you wear from Hot Topic-like men's jeans. I was going to suggest dress pants, but you said you were looking for somewhat casual)
-Dress shirt (you know, like those white shirts guys have to wear during concerts-or a white shirt with a collar will work fine, if the long-sleeved version is too hot)
-Tie (this is optional, but I put it there, because I was looking at Finland's character sheet, as well as the extra episode, and I thought it'd be a nice touch)
-Beret (you asked for me to include that, so there)
AND NOW, FOR YOUR OPTIONS. Since I imagine Finland with a sweater of some sort when casual (because it's pretty cold up there-I have a friend from QZ who can attest to that), you have options. Go to your right! Clockwise, from the plain sweater vest...
-Sweater vest (in case you don't want to be too hot; I found one in blue, because of Finland's military uniform-it doesn't have to be plain, it could be argyle as well)
-V-neck sweater (again, I saw this on the character sheet, so why not? For this, you can wear a T-shirt with a collar under it instead of the long-sleeved dress shirt)
-Argyle sweater (argyle is the design with the diamonds; I got this from the extra episode. Again, you could wear a T-shirt with a collar)
-Sweater vest with argyle pattern (not pictured, because I couldn't find one-if you find one, good for you)
To sum things up, if you choose a long-sleeved sweater, wear a T-shirt with a collar. If you choose a sweater vest, then wear a long-sleeved dress shirt. Oh, my God. Remember the Queen Bee of 7th grade? His sweater vests xD
BUT WHAT ABOUT SHOES? Okay, I tried my best, so forgive me.
-Leather dancing shoes (this would be my ideal option, in imitating men's shoes-unless you can find some shoes in your size-that would look like men would wear them. However, since I know you don't have them, I tried something else...)
-Flats with socks (FASHION FAUX PAS! I know! I don't like this option, either, but my brain is frazzled, and unless you can think of anything better, so be it. Wear your black flats with black socks, and hope that your jeans are long enough to cover most of your feet)
 
I tried my best. *dies and resurrects again*
 
By the way, for anyone who remembers... I got a "job" and I had my first day of work today. It was mindlessly boring-just filing hundreds of papers. And I'm doing the same thing tomorrow, I think. But it was okay. Not the worst, not the best. I don't mind doing some menial, mindless office work.
I've nothing to say, other than I'm going to be so screwed if I don't mow the lawn right now.

As you said that, someone else's tears dripped down my dry cheeks. Just be friends, all we gotta do is just be friends. It's time to say goodbye, just be friends. All we gotta do is just be friends, just be friends, just be friends...
Just Be Friends//Luka Megurine (English lyrics, as sung by Amanda Lee)
I should be writing right now. I feel really guilty for not, but what can I say? I don't have the motivation. But tons of ideas.
*clears throat*
Our dearest Suri/Jadelyn is leaving us D: NOOOO!!!!
@kennedybrock: I WILL MISS YOU SO, SO MUCH. But you already knew that. Seriously, though, you're a wonderful and strong person <3
 
This set was inspired by Kelly, once again, and by the vocaloid song Just Be Friends. Yes, I'm getting into vocaloids. Don't judge me! Even though this came from the person who said they hated them a few months ago. But I digress. The dress/tunic seems like something Luka would wear, and the flats/leggings are kinda what she wears in the video. Here: (it's in Japanese, with English subtitles)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoPzP-MwcLI
It's supposed to be a really, really sad song, but it sounds upbeat... oh, well, that's the case with vocaloids, isn't it? And if you don't like vocaloids, here's an English version with piano, by Amanda Lee. I love her version so much, she's such a great singer.

Last night, I was trying to see how many members were on Polyvore, and for some reason, I stumbled upon this huge argument about copyright infringement and clipping. It honestly gave me a headache. But it just made me lose some of my faith in this website. We, as members, may not use these sets for commercial reasons, but the photos and works of art we use in our sets are made by other artists who put their time into making them. And what? It's here without their permission.
I know I'm being a hypocrite. I've made sets before without knowing about the copyright. Hell, this set is probably filled with photos that the owners didn't say could be used. It just made me really sad, though. These artists do have a right to their art. Even though I spent thousands of hours on my sets, the items I used for them were made by others, too.
So I don't know any more. The argument died down over 2 years ago, but it's just... yeah.
 
Today, I spent a good 3 hours listening to Alexander Rybak and his songs. They are pure magic, guys. He is my newest obsession. And not to mention, he's really, kinda cute ;) I found him because I was reading this Hetalia drabble (of course -.-) and they had lyrics to his song Fairytale. I got curious, and looked it up-turns out, this was the winning song in Eurovision 2009, for Norway. AND IT IS PERFECT. It had the record for most votes in the history of Eurovision (well, until this year, with Loreen's song Euphoria for Sweden, which I have to listen after this song).
Now, I'm getting really interested in Eurovision. Did you know that ABBA and Celine Dion got their careers started with this competition? Next year, I'm definitely gonna try and catch the broadcast online. But here's the link, if you wanna listen to Fairytale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtj3k_thBE4
(by the way, I know very few of you know about Hetalia, but Finland won in 2006, with Hard Rock Hallelujah by Lordi. I just find it funny that if you listen to the song, and look at the character in Hetalia, you would be completely surprised. Finny looks so cute and innocent and is a self-described "delicate flower" and then this song just hits you)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M6px6Ynm90
Listening to Euphoria right now, and it sounds like a song they'd play on the mainstream radio stations where I live, but it's pretty okay. Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5qURKt4maw
 
Other than that, I have nothing to say. I went to Miranda's house, and we had a lot of fun... playing Kingdom Hearts (or rather, me watching and her playing), voice dubbing mangas, reading smutty fanfics (and me trying to write a very, very smutty story), watching YouTube videos, drawing, and just talking about shits and giggles, really. I love going to her house-we can basically do whatever we want, and her mom is okay with it (as long as we don't burn down the apartment)
Today is my grandfather's birthday. If he was still here, he would've been 82. Rest in peace, Ông Nôi.
 
I'm somewhat scared for school to start, even though it's over a month away. It's not like my first year there. I got that done last year, and high school is so much better than junior high, if you ask me. 10th grade is creeping up... For me, I don't like it, because in most of my classes, it's the same people over and over. I either have 11th grade classes (chemistry, algebra 2/trig) or AP classes, which are almost impossible to get into if you weren't in it before (English, history). The only regular classes I'll be having are French 3 and computer graphics 1 and 2, and gym class. Maybe study hall, but no one ever talks then.
I also won't have any classes with Miranda, because she's not in advanced classes, she takes Russian, she's doing advanced studio instead of computer graphics, and health instead of study hall. I think she signed up for a different gym class than I did. We'll be lucky if we even have lunch together.
But then again, we only had lab together last year and different lunch times-we still talked every day and we're still really close. I mean, even in the summer, we talk almost every day through Tumblr or Quizilla, and we go to each other's places every other week.
Still scared, though. I want to meet new people, not stay with the same ones my entire time at high school.
Also, my parents are pushing me to join clubs, so I'm thinking of doing biology and creative writing. Miranda's doing creative writing as well, along with Korean culture club and the LGBTQ club at our school. I've always wanted to join the LGBTQ club, but I'm too scared.
Anyways, that would mean less Internet time after school. But maybe it's time to spend less time writing fanfics and talking to online people, and get out in the real world. Even if it sucks.
Well, since I'll be a sophomore, that means I'll get to see my freshman friends! And Genna finally passed 8th grade, so we'll finally be in the same school for the first time in a year... lame, but it's hard when you don't live near each other, and you hang around different crowds. So I'll be going with her to freshman orientation-which I was planning to do anyways, for our other friend Kayla.
The problem is, on the first day of school, I know Genna's gonna want to hang around me and my friends. I don't have a huge problem with that, but is it evil to say that I'm scared she won't fit in? She knows my friends, but still. And then the other thing is, she's kinda jealous of Miranda. I don't blame her. I see Miranda way more than Genna, and truth be told, I think I'm closer to her now than Genna. Plus, their styles are somewhat like each other, so there's that. I don't want to be caught in the middle of my friends again, for the thousandth time, but it's hard. And it's just hard, too, because they're my closest friends, and I want them to get along. Genna's never gotten along with my other friends; I can't say I'm best buddies with her friends. Still.
Reyna, I'm not worried about, because we'll still have English together (and very likely, history, since there are only two AP classes) with Skylar, and that'll be nice. We're like the Asian trio (kinda like me, Suri, and @patr0nus ^_^)
p.s. HI INES. I'm glad that we're both somewhat back! I'm not here permanently, either, but it's summer, so why not? Hehe :D
As for my guy friends, I don't have many anymore. I think the only guy I consider close to me is Matthew. And I really hope that we can be closer next year. You've no idea how happy I was when he finally accepted that we were friends (April 30th, will always remember that)-after 3 years! I don't like him, nor will I, but still. I'm glad.
Maybe I should just say hi to him this week or something. Just pop in, and be like, "Hi, Mrs. ___, is Matthew home? I just wanted to say hi!"
"..."
"...okay, bye!"
Yeah...
Love you all!

But we know that whoever holds the reigns, nothing will change. Our cause has gone insane.
United States of Eurasia//Muse
I am listening to The Resistance (full album) on YouTube right now, and it is perfect. Absolutely perfect. I think this is my favorite song by them, but I also love Undisclosed Desires, Stockholm Syndrome, and I Belong To You.
I am so, so sorry for my ranting two days ago. I don't know what got into me. Actually, the reason I started ranting was because this fan account (you know, those accounts fangirls make of their favorite celebrity, and they pretend to be them) tagged me in a set. Just a list of straight tags, one of those lists that I absolutely hate. So, I got sick of it, and I said (this is verbatim)-"I don't mean to sound bitchy (so I'm sorry if I do), but why are you tagging me?"
Honest question. Why am I being tagged?
And the girl blocks me, and replies, "@lost-in-senseless-dreams , It Was An Accident I See (: But, im Famous and Dosn't Wanna Start Problems Becasue if I Do ' I Can Lose My Career ...... So, Im Ending This Conversation Here -.- Before Things Get Crazy !"
Exact words, m'dears. And honestly?
I just started laughing.
Do you honestly fucking believe that I'm going to believe you're a famous person? EL OH EL HELL NO. Just the fact that you blocked me for that... I don't even know, guys. And you can't even spell right... if you're going to cosplay (yes, I said cosplay; deal with it) as a celebrity, then take on the spelling/grammar of a 20-something year old. You type like you've never seen an English class. It's just hilarious. I'm not gonna list the person or their set, but feel free to message me and ask.
It just reminds me more of why I don't go on Polyvore as much anymore.
*coughs* This was inspired by @obliviate and her sets, because Kelly is awesome and... just, yup~
I GOT MY YOUTUBE VIDEO UP :D (link-only)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyBbuHmdLzw
(apparently, according to some of my 'Zilla friends, like Libby and Allie, I'm cute and adorable... um, thanks! Not what I was going for, but nice to know I'm glompable!)
Yes. The Scientist, by Coldplay, with piano accompaniment. I transposed it into B flat major/G minor, so it doesn't sound like the original. I look like a fat squirrel... :/
So in about an hour or so, I'll be off to Miranda's house! Thank goodness. And we shall spend the night reading smutty Hetalia fanfics, reading and voice dubbing yaoi mangas, and writing... you guessed it, fanfics! We're writing each other SuFin (Sweden x Finland) one-shots. I'm writing something romantic/bittersweet/historical, while she's going out with the smut. Hurray for lemons!
*looks at above sentence*
Oh, dear. Lemons have rotted my brain.
But people, you should be happy! Why? Well, the wonderful Ines (@patr0nus) has come back to us! SHE IS MY WIFEY, HANDS OFF. *looks at sentence* Sweden and Finland... *snickers*
Hetalia has ruined me.
But anyways, I just want to hop on over to where she is and glomp her right now :D SHE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD! So glad you're here!
And I just saw that Breanne-chan (@all-we-believe-in) is going on a vacation of sorts. Have fun, m'dear! You and I are both going on trips to see our friends, heh. Hurray for breaks from family :D See you when we get back!
Okay, I'm done. I need to work on a fanfic, pack my things, and do some laundry.
Oh, one other thing. My little sister, May, had her friend Faith over today. So I walk downstairs, and May's like, "Sissy, guess what?"
"...what?"
"I'm teaching Faith multiplication! And I'm giving her homework, too!"
"...WHAT?!"
Yeah, you know you live in an Asian household when your little sister is teaching her friend math and giving her homework.
Me: Mom, is she seriously giving her homework? Really?
Mom: Well, she's being a good friend!
Me: Oh, then I must be a /horrible/ friend for never giving my friends multiplication homework.
Yeah... I don't even know anymore. I know Kelly already saw this, but I just had to say it again.
Now I'm gone, for real. Hasta la pasta!
...stupid Hetalia obsessed brain.

I'm not one of those who can easily hide. I don't have much money, but boy, if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live...
Your Song//Ellie Goulding
By the way, this is a few weeks late, but thank you for the 1,000,000 set views! I honestly never thought I'd even get this much, much less 100 xD You all are wonderful people, and I love you. Seriously. IT'S COOKIE TIME!
Yeah, Anh is too lazy to make a good art set. So, she made this half-assed set yesterday and today. Enjoy le horrible cropping! Warning: ranting ahead. Feel free to skip.
 
Heh, no, that's not what I'm here for, to make a set. I have a lot of writing inspiration, but not the motivation to actually write. On top of that, I'm slightly pissed, but for various, small reasons.
 
1. YOUTUBE Y U NO LET ME UPLOAD?!
I finally made my cover of The Scientist! After almost a year of promising that I would, I did! And I look like a fat squirrel in the video. I really do not kid. But it sounds better than it looks, promise.
But... Firefox keeps crashing on me every time I try and upload it. And I know it'll take hours and hours from my camera... So, I'm trying to convert it into different formats. The first conversion was even larger than the original -.-' And the second conversion's not even done yet. Hopefully, it'll be smaller. If not, I'll just upload tomorrow. No biggie.
 
2. Sleepover?
I'm either going to Miranda's house tomorrow or on Friday. I'd prefer Friday, but my mom's like, "If you go on Thursday, I'll be home on Friday to pick you up, and then you can spend time with me. And on Saturday, you can spend more time with the family!"
Haha... no. That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid with my plan with going on Friday night, Mother dearest. It's bad enough with 2 extra family members and about 3 more coming in 2 weeks. But really? It's already hard enough avoiding you.
I know I sound like a spoiled brat, and you're probably thinking, "You should want to spend time with your family! Some people don't even have their family to spend time with!" Yes, I realize that. I am mentally beating myself up for ranting this, I really am. But my temper is so hard to control around them, that it takes every single ounce of self-control to not snap and yell at every single one of them, even when they're making reasonable offers. Every. Single. Ounce. And it's just my family, guys.
I really wish I could fast-forward to my last summer before college. Or to the time when I'm already at Miranda's house.
 
3. Random Tagging
Since it's summer, I have more time to go on Polyvore-and I do, usually on my iPod. I usually only comment on Kelly and Breanne's sets, to be quite honest, since they're the two that I'm closest to on this site. Otherwise, I don't expect to get tagged that often, right?
Wrong. I can't tell you how much I HATE it when I see a notification in my activity, it's a person tagging me, and I go to their set-only to see one of those stupid ABC tags. Or even worse-just a list of people tagged, so that more people will see their set.
I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this, but do you know how irritating it is to go to a set, and to see that you really had no purpose in being there? I'm gonna tell you now: it's a waste of my time checking it, and I'll never fill out any of those tags. I know I'm being bitchy. I apologize.
If you wanted for me to actually read something, then by all means, tag me! Or if you wanna talk, just send me a message (or better yet, comment on one of my sets, because I respond quicker to comments). I think that some people might agree with me. Others may not. It's your opinion, and I'm not gonna try and change it.
Anyways, what irritates me even more is people who just tag lists and lists of people in their sets, so more people can see it. At least with the ABC tags, you're supposed to tag people. I can get that. But when you just do those lists, here's what I spell in my head:
A-T-T-E-N-T-I-O-N W-H-0-R-E.
For goodness sake! People will look at your sets if they like them! Don't force them to do it, or just lead them there like that! If you want someone to look at your set, then maybe you could message them. That's a little more personal than just tagging them, I'd think! When I go to one of those sets, and all I see is just people being tagged... what the hell am I supposed to say or do?
You want the attention? You want the viewers? Fine, I'll be blunt: make good sets. Put the damn effort into it. By tagging people just so they look... there's no effort in that. If we had the tagging function when I first joined, I could've tagged 50 bajillion people and I would've gotten a lot of views. Maybe a few comments. But not because I put the effort into my set.
If you make a good set, it WILL be discovered. I promise you that. There's going to be someone who sees it, and likes it. And then one of their contacts will see the set, too, and like it. Maybe they'll comment or even add you as a contact. But it will happen.
You don't have to tag so many fucking people to do it.
Or again, send someone a message. It's more personal, and it shows that you took the time to do that, just for them.
My last point: if you must absolutely tag a bunch of people, then please, tag people you've personally talked to before, or people who are friends with you. I'm not going to tag someone I hardly know, because that's just irritating them. And besides, I'm more likely to pay attention at a person I've talked to before than to some random stranger.
 
Ugh. I'm done. Excuse my foul language. Or not. Do what you'd like.
 
I don't even like tea. But I love this picture. And I really have nothing more to say. Well, actually, I'll edit this set tomorrow and put the link to the YouTube video, if I can. My next cover will be Your Song//Ellie Goulding. But that might not be for a while.

Fell in your opinion, when I fell in love with you.
Falling//Florence and the Machine
 
This set was to mainly procrastinate on writing out a bunch of contest entries and fanfics.
@all-we-believe-in, sorry to be a bother, Breanne-chan, but um... have you started on your part yet? It's been a month since I posted, and I don't want to rush you, but I'd like to know, hehe :)
Sorry. I don't feel like putting the effort to make an art set. Why do all my fashion sets look the same? :/
Anyways, how has your summer been going?
Mine has been... eh. My grandparents came from Vietnam, and they're staying for a few weeks. They don't really bother me, but I'd rather be home by myself, you know? Otherwise, I've been writing fanfics like crazy-or rather, thinking up plot bunnies. I've not the inspiration to actually write out the words. And speaking of my writing (which has gotten worse), I have a troll.
That's nice. Not.
So yes, my last 4 stories have all been down-rated severely, like there are multiple people giving it 1 star. Usually, I don't mind, because that's the person's opinion. I'm not one to influence that. But when it's 4 stories in a row, and I know that they're not /that/ bad, then I know it's a troll. And they're doing it over and over, because if it was just one time, then the ratings wouldn't be so low.
Is it petty to say that I care about ratings? I hardly ever get feedback, so the ratings are all I have to go by, you know? I probably need a slap of reality, but...
Hopefully, I'll be able to go to Miranda's house for a sleepover. I'm trying to convince my mom to let me stay for 2 days, and she's like, "But I'll miss you!"
"Mom, she stayed with us for an entire weekend in Pennsylvania."
The reason she won't let me go is because she's trying to keep an eye on me. More than necessary. Like she's trying to control everything. But it's not like I can tell her, "Mom, I like going to my friends' house more than them coming here, because they don't have an annoying little sister, and we can actually stay up past 11 and go online and watch shows and eat junk food until 5 in the morning. And they don't have a bratty little sister for an alarm clock at 9 in the morning. On a weekend."
Good grief.
If anyone cares, I am back on Tumblr, but I changed my URL to http://a-senseless-dreamer.tumblr.com. I'm gonna delete all my previous posts and I already unfollowed everyone (except a few people from QZ and two people from Polyvore).
On Tuesday, my dad signed us up for family tennis lessons (*gags*), but he made me go by myself. And it was the wrong day-all adults. Nonetheless, I was in the intermediate/advanced group, with this kinda cute coach (that was only 3 years older! He was a senior when I was a freshman?!), and the other women were like in their 40's, and I'm 15. What the heck? Either way, I beat the shit out of them in singles.
So I don't know if I'm going back next Tuesday. We learned that we might have had the wrong place, too, so I don't know...
I got my report card in the mail a few weeks ago, and I was so happy that I started crying. Or maybe it was because I was excited that I actually cleaned my room. But here are my grades (so fucking happy!)
AP English: Finals-94, FSM-92 (I actually got an A on the finals?! What an improvement from the B+ on the midterms! AND I PASSED WITH AN A FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR :D)
AP History: Finals-95, FSM-96 (my teacher said the scores were 75-95, or there was a 98 in there, and guess what? I GOT THAT FUCKING 95!!!! THE HIGHEST SCORE?!?! *dies* AND I PASSED BOTH OF MY AP CLASSES WITH A'S!)
Geometry: Regents-100, FSM-97 (HOLY FUCKING HELL CRAP, I GOT A PERFECT SCORE ON THE FUCKING REGENTS?! OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! This is big, because my algebra regents was a 92, and my midterm was a 90. WHAT NOW?!)
Biology: Regents-97, FSM-97 (Coolness. I'm not really as excited, because it's my strongest subject and my favorite, but still happy)
French: Finals-99, FSM-99 (One point from a perfect finals because of my speaking exam, but I'm still extremely happy. And I got a 100 in the last quarter!)
FSM is short for final school mark-so, my final grade in that class, overall. My last quarter GPA was 96.857, and for the entire year-96.929. Not bad at all :)
Sophomore year, I'm kinda excited for. I have harder classes, because everyone says chemistry is really hard. Also, I have my AP history exam next year, so my teacher is really gonna crank out the info. Good grief... I don't wanna go back to doing outlines! Nooooooo...
But, I'm taking these two computer graphics courses, which have to do with Photoshop and photography, and I'm really happy, because I waited years to do that. Still doing AP English, Algebra 2/Trig, and French 3R. I might be doing net sports, if my schedule is accepted-so that means tennis, badminton, and volleyball. Happyful.
I don't really have many plans this summer. I couldn't volunteer at the library, but I might be working in my parents' professor's lab at the public health university-you know, doing some errands here and there. But I don't mind.
I also plan to see Miranda more. Jake and I have made up since last year, and I'll visit him more. But he wants us to hang out with Michael... and frankly, I just don't want to see him. Too many bad memories. There's going to be trouble if we do. I'd rather leave him in the past. And I don't want to miss him anymore. Even though I've been missing him for over a year. When will this bullshit end? *sighs*
Urm, that's it. I've been procrastinating long enough. Off to do a Canada story!

Stereo Hearts//Gym Class Heroes.
WARNING: brutal/offensive rants ahead (depending on how open-minded you are)
Yes, this is still Anh speaking, not some weirdo. I've decided that I'm really too nice sometimes... it's time for some of my more honest opinions.
No, I don't even like this band, let alone this song. But the lyrics fit. And the chorus is catchy.
Anh's attempt to make an art set after over 4 months: epic failure.
The last day of school is tomorrow. Finally. Now I can focus on my writing, at last -.-'
Right now, though, it's almost midnight. The only reason I made this set is because:
1. I felt nostalgic
2. I'm going to use this set for one of my fanfics (by the way, I'll probably post the link once I have it up in a few days)
3. Just because.
This was inspired by @head-over-heels and her set:http://www.polyvore.com/grass_splendid_evenings/set?id=36169981 (now isn't that gorgeous?)
I just wanted to thank all of you that noticed my set from last week. Really, I love reading all your comments. YOU GIVE ME HOPE FOR THE WORLD :D
Lately, all I've been wanting is for school to end. For my parents to leave me alone. For inspiration to come back. Or rather, my flow of words. I have all the ideas I need. Breanne-chan (@all-we-believe-in) knows this.
And it's midnight. Welcome to the last day of freshman year, Anh.
Truth be told, 9th grade wasn't all that bad. True, I did get into a fight with one of my closest friends (Matt), but it's okay. I realized he wasn't worth it. And I made a bunch of new friends, as well as learned some things in school. High school will not bite, if you don't let it.
...Kendra (@ten-uto, I'm talking to you :)
So, you know, don't be afraid.
 
Something that really irritates me is YOLO. Seriously. Can I just ban it from the American (and online) language forever? IT'S SO DAMN FRUSTRATING.
True, it's not as bad as the others I've heard. "You only live once." So true. But to shorten it and tack it on at the end of every fucking sentence/paragraph? Dude, you ain't cool if you do that. Just saying.
OVERUSE, PEOPLE. It's not good for your health. Just like with the word legit. I can't stand that one, either. Use the fucking complete word, legitimate! If you say something is legit, it does NOT make it sound automatically cooler.
In fact, I think that anyone who overuses phrases like "legit" and "YOLO" talk like valley girls. And that just decreases my respect. I'm being brutally honest with my opinion, folks. Because lately, I've come to the full realization that I'm too nice online. Or rather, I don't express my /full/ opinions on things, for fear of making people mad. But you know, it's my life, and really? I don't mean to offend anyone. I really don't. These are my opinions.
Something else that annoys me. People making collections and asking people to fave all the sets in it so they can increase their number of faves-in exchange for something. That's stupid. Yes, I fucking said it. People will like what they want to like. Don't force them into doing it just for a favor. In fact, you wanna do a favor? Make them a set. Or write something for them. Put some more thought into it than just pressing a button. Really, I just think that's attention whorey.
Why am I ranting about this? Oh, well, I found a set that said the person was open for set requests, and I was like, "Okay, why not? What do I have to lose?" And then I see that there's a collection filled with their sets... and you have to like the collection, as well as all the sets in it, before you can request.
That's idiotic. Again, you want faves? Improve your sets. Or something-but don't ask people to just fave it for a favor. Come on, really?
Hey, I told you that this was going to be brutal and slightly offensive.
But then again, this is what you get for running on an average of 5 hours of sleep on the last week of school. So be it.
Effects of sleep deprivation on Anh: she gets pissier, moodier, more blunt, and less caring of what anyone else thinks.
 
So, um, yes. How have you all been? Excited for summer, or winter, depending on where you are? And your opinions about my ranting? Don't be shy; just don't be rude without reason.
~Anh :)

Grapevine Fires//Death Cab for Cutie
Have I mentioned that DCFC is my new obsession now? Thanks, Miranda, thanks.
So, I bet that none of you really noticed my absence. It's all right, I'm just another little insignificant profile here, and I don't care much.
Feel free to call me a hypocrite, after saying I'd never log on. Well, I lied. I've been checking up occasionally (as Breanne and Kelly know), and do you want to know the truth?
I've been pretty happy since I left Polyvore. Well, my mood has lifted. But I keep getting nostalgic, so I come back every once in a while.
It's summer. I have more time to do what I want. But, at the same time, I have to entertain the thing known as my family. I shouldn't call them a thing. But it feels like a burden, to have to be responsible for them or something.
Summer Plans:
-Volunteer at the local library. My mom will sign me up while I'm at school this Friday, and most likely, I'll be working in the shelves. I've always imagined my first job in either a bookstore or library, organizing books. Now it's coming true. Except I don't get paid. But that's all right.
-Write more fanfic. As you've probably not noticed (except for Hailey/raelakay and Breanne/all-we-believe-in), I've been on Quizilla for the past few months. It's great, actually. I've made some good friends on there (most of them older than me, but oh, well), and they've been really supportive (and funny). So far, I've written for mainly Hetalia, with few OHSHC in between.
-Watch more anime. I swear, if I keep going on about Hetalia to my friends, they'll clobber me. So I'm planning to watch Black Butler and Angel Beats, and a few others. I also want to rewatch Code Lyoko (even if it's in French) and I want to see Legend of Korra.
-Work on a new (Hetalia) series with someone here on Polyvore. You know who you are ;)
 
Yes, so it seems that I've turned into a complete Hetalia fangirl. I am. Not as obsessive as some that I've seen, but still. I've also grown to be obsessed with DCFC. Seriously. I mean, I still love Coldplay, but after hearing their songs a million times, it gets old.
 
On a darker note, I've told my mother about my suspicions about depression. This was a few months ago, actually. And it was only about a month ago that we went to the doctor, and she asked me if she could tell him. Then, he asked me a bunch of questions, and I answered (honestly).
After that, he said that he recommended that I get counseling.
Again, I know that Breanne and Kelly know about this, since I've told them. But I'm scared. Just a little. But perhaps, I'll be able to go in with a slightly open mind?
Miranda says that she's proud of me for telling, and that it's not as bad as I made it sound. She gives me hope for the future, that girl (and a lot of headaches from her ditziness and her fake arrogance-but I still love her).
 
Hmm. I'm hungry.
Seems like I've lost my touch on here.
And speaking of which, what happened to the design? It really sucks :/ I could barely even use the Editor, because it's changed so much! Egads, people!
 
If anyone bothers to read this, can you please stop sending me group invites? It's damn frustrating, and I barely even go online anymore. Really?
 
It's been raining really hard for a few days, in short bursts. And I just ran home in the rain about an hour ago. Just when it was raining extremely hard, and I got soaked. Fun, right? No.
All the teachers have decided to pile a shitload of homework in the last two weeks. What the hell?
History: 4-page paper due tomorrow, in-class essay tomorrow, outline due Friday, outline due Monday
English: grammar test tomorrow, important paragraph due Friday, project due Tuesday
Biology: actually, I have nothing, since I just presented my project today
Math: practice regents due Friday, textbook assignment due Friday, practice regents due Tuesday, practice regents due next Thursday (last day of school!)
French: nothing, we're just reviewing for finals
Drawing: chalk pastel self-portrait due next Thursday
Ain't it grand? And to make things better or worse, I'm taking a road trip to Pennsylvania this weekend, with Miranda. Right after an award ceremony for the National French Exam (apparently, I was one of the regional winners). She's going to help me write a Russia fanfic, but I'm not going to have much time to do homework. I wonder how this weekend will go.
Plan for today:
-Finish overview of quiz results (since I'm making a Hetalia quiz) and email documents to people (since I need a lot of beta-testers, I asked Miranda, my in-real friend Reyna, and some people from QZ, like Libby, Crianna, Alice/Chloe, Maria, San-san (because I don't know her real name), and Ice Cream (because I don't know her real name either).
-Possibly post America ficlet
-Work on 4-page paper and start Friday's outline
Yup. *nods nods* I probably should've put this on QZ instead of here, where no one knows what I'm talking about.
 
Strike that, Miranda just sent me a message. So I'll deal with that, too. Oh, that adorable redhead... speaking of which, she made me the most adorable Canada drawing ever :D (inner Hetalia fangirl really coming out now).
 
Constant Death Cab for Cutie on YouTube. What now?
 
And for some reason, I've been hooked on The One That Got Away//Katy Perry and Call Me Maybe//Carly Rae Jepsen (the video for this... way too funny). Also, I've been really into Christina Perri's A Thousand Years and Ellie Goulding's version of Your Song, as well as Starry Eyed.
I'm actually learning how to play Your Song on the piano, just like I learned The Scientist//Coldplay. Going great so far :D
 
So, how have things been going for you?
Love always, Anh.
 
p.s. If I should ever come back full-time, it will be on a different account, under a different username, and probably under a pseudonym. And only two people will know that it's me. Just sayin'

Well. It's been a while since I've made a set. About a month, actually.
First off, I have an announcement: I am quitting all battle groups. So if you're a mod, and you haven't kicked me out yet, I unfortunately must drop out. I can't balance the time to write fanfics and to make sets, and until I can, I'm not doing battle groups.
@l0ve-is-the-m0vement: I'm sorry, Bethany, but I can't do the collab that you've been tagging me in. If you can't find someone to do it, then I'll do it for you, but after that, I'm not going to be able to participate :(
Second order of business: I won't be on as often. Like I said, I can't balance my time with writing. The only reason I'm even making a set is because quizilla.com is down, and I'm pretty pissed >.<
Third: Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! I really appreciate it, especially @obliviate, @all-we-believe-in, @patr0nus, @desironi-rhymes-with-macaroni and @hiroki :D
Fourth: I really don't want to talk about my life. I just... don't. So I'll write it in bullet format.
-I have told my mom about my suspicions about depression. Breanne, I already told you about it, but... yeah. It was kind of scary, and I'm not sure if I'm glad that I did it...
-I went to California all last week, and got yelled at a lot for going on the Internet on my iPod. And my dad thinks I have an addiction... the only thing I admit being addicted to is self-expression. That's it, plain and simple.
-Right now, I'm kind of frustrated with everyone, and I really want to scream for no reason.
-Because of the vacation, I missed school yesterday, and already, I have a lot to make up. One day missed in elementary is nothing. A day in middle is... eh. But a day in high school is forever to make up.
-Yes, I still like that Asian in my history class. But Jake told me that he suspects that people are setting us up. If I haven't made it quite obvious that I like him, then he still doesn't know. Either that, or he's doing a fabulous job of hiding it to be nice to me. And if he's hiding it, then I really must thank him for it... at least he's sparing my feelings, a little.
-However, he's still really nice to me. Today, we kind of talked before class... and before we talked, I played the stalker-creeper girl and followed him around because I had nothing to do after lunch.
-Rachel... she's been getting on my nerves. So I've been trying to avoid her as much as I can. She senses it, I think, but I don't think she knows the full extent. I'm still nice to her, though. It's just that I can't stand her for long periods of time.
-Uh, that's really about it.
-By the way, I know that barely anyone has joined my story challenge, but it's open until April 2, so... yup!
 
Breanne, you know how I've gotten you basically addicted to Hetalia? Well, for your birthday (which, for anyone else, is March 11th, so get your cake ready!) could you fill out this form below? Please make it based off of yourself, and the big surprise shall be revealed on your birthday set :) You can make a set with the completed form, or you can send it to me in a message, or you can even make a Tumblr text post-I just need it ASAP.
One of the nice things is, you can even use your Croatia OC, because with this form, just pretend that you're one of the characters/countries.

Wait... time for RP!
-Yup, another world meeting... Italy's annoying Germany, America is going on and on about his idiotic ideas, France is groping England, and Russia is terrorizing the Baltic Trio. Assuming every country is there, who would you sit next to and what would you do?
-France invited you to his house for "dinner" but you know he means more than that. What do you do?
-You're at Spain's house, and as usual, Romano's being all pissy at something he said. What do you do?
-You and the Allies just found out about um, Germany's secret, and they send you in to get info out of him. How would you react, and what would you do?
-No one will let poor Canada speak up! What would you do about it?
-Some of the countries invite you to go drinking... would you go? And also, you know that England will be there, and you know he'll be a drunk arse in the morning. What would you say now?
-How would you get Japan out of his isolationist bubble, if you had to?
-Hungary keeps talking about yaoi and is thinking up some yaoi pairings of the countries. Would you talk with her, and if so, who would you pair up? (yaoi is guy-guy pairing, like Germany/Italy)
-Optional (only if you know about the Nordics): Finland invites you to stay with them-who would you hang out with and what would you do?
 
That's it!

I really love this song, and this band.
Unfortunately, this may be one of the last sets I'm making for a while.
You see, I got my midterm grades back yesterday and today, and here are my grades. S=semester grade, Q=quarter grade, M=midterm grade
French: S-99, Q-98, M-100 (a pleasant surprise)
Math: S-96, Q-98, M-90 (geez, my mom is going to yell at me for this, but at least it's still an A...)
Biology: S-96, Q-96, M-96 (okay, not too bad...)
And here comes the bad parts.
English: S-Don't know, but I'd guess a 90 or 91, Q-95, M-86 (MY PARENTS WILL KILL ME WHEN THEY SEE THIS)
History: S-Don't know, but I'd guess a 95 or 94, Q-95, M-89 (Again, MY PARENTS WILL KILL ME)
As you can see, I got B's on two of my midterms. This is the first time that's ever happened. And if I get a B on my report card, quarter grade, semester grade, or midterm, I get grounded for a month. Seriously.
So far, the report cards haven't come yet, and I'm planning for it so that they'll see it after this Saturday, because I have a birthday party for my friend, Kayla.
But I have such a headache from stressing out over it.
My friends, they all tell me, "Anh, that's a good grade! You did good!" but I know better. Honestly, if it weren't for my parents, I'd be okay with anything above an 80. They don't understand. None of them do.
And my parents JUST gave me a lecture about education and college and stuff two days ago... and my sister didn't do so well on her math, so we're both in probation for math.
This is what happens when I'm grounded:
No TV, no computer (except for homework), no phone, no birthday parties or stuff like that, will probably have to do algebra every day, iPod and possibly mp3 player taken away. Oh, and probably, I'll get a lecture.
The only thing that affects me on that list is the algebra, but that's easy enough. I rarely watch TV, I have computer homework every fucking week (plus, they can't monitor me after school), I don't use the phone, I rarely get invited out anywhere, and I can live without the electronics.
Still, I hate having to think about this.
It might be worse, because I told my mom after one of the midterms (it was either biology or math) that it was easy, and she said that I had better do good on them. I highly doubt I said that about the English or the history (because really, they were hard), but still.
I'm not the worst-I mean, a few kids in my history got in the low to mid-80's. Rachel got a 79 (ouch...), but in my English class, as far as I know, I have one of the lowest grades. Only one other person has a grade lower than me...
The only things that I think would lessen the effect of the grades are that:
-Both history and English are AP courses. So yes, they're supposed to be much harder.
-My parents don't place AS MUCH importance on these subjects as they do science and math. And, as you can see, I did okay.
-I got a perfect score on the French. But that doesn't really matter as much.
But I'll still get grounded, no matter what.
On the (somewhat) brighter side, if they don't count the midterm grades, I'll probably end up with straight A's again for my quarter grade, and with A's for my semester grades in all of those subjects. Midterm grades are counted separately.
Sometimes, I really do wish my parents were like other American parents. Or at least, willing to accept what I accept for myself. But no, they don't. Quite honestly, when other people impose their expectations on me, I automatically enlist low expectations for myself. But when they don't, I put high expectations for myself. Seeing as I'm getting a lot of imposed expectations, I have relatively low ones. Form of rebellion, perhaps? Maybe...
 
And, to make things worse again, Matt is still not talking to me. But, I asked Rachel to ask him for me, and she told me.
Apparently, he's annoyed with me because I smack him too much.
Which is true. I do end up poking and hitting him and slapping him a lot, but jokingly, most of the time. I have an extremely hard time showing my emotions.
But it just adds to my headache. And every day I show up to school, I just want to cry and not talk for the entire day, because my head hurts and I just want everything to be all right, and for everyone to be happy. Even at my own expense. And really, I just want my friend back. I don't have many friends-I don't like opening myself up to new people often, and the few I have are extremely important to me.
This is exactly what happened last winter.
I just hate myself and everything so much. More myself than anyone. Sometimes, I just want to die. Don't take that as a joke.
And this feeling... it's not going to go away for a long time.
Or maybe it will.
The main cause of my headache is mostly my grades. Once the birthday party passes and they find the report card, I'll tough it out. Fine, ground me. Just get it over the fuck with. I won't even celebrate my birthday because I just don't care that much.
And really, how badly do I want him to be my friend again?
I mean, I may get on his nerves because of what I did, but he's been a real d0uche to me, too. First, writing out and constantly teasing me about the Canada incident, then blackmailing me with the fact that I liked him, and now, just ignoring me with no warning at all?
He might have been sending signals that he didn't like it, and he's joked about it many times before. I probably didn't notice or took it as a joke. But you know what? A real friend would say something. I mean, Miranda and I, we tease and annoy each other all the time. Most of the time, it's in good humor, but when one of us has gone too far, we don't hesitate to tell each other (or in Miranda's case, she'll rarely get into one of her moods-usually short-lived-and then tell me). Even with Rachel-she'll tell me when I need to stop, and I'll tell her when to drop it. And the same thing with Jake, even though we're not friends anymore. If I told him to stop, he would, and he'd tell me when I went too far.
But maybe, it's just harder for guys to admit things like this. That makes more sense now.
I know I sound like I'm having a conversation with myself, and perhaps I am, but I need to reason this out with words.
Ultimately, I'm going to give him some time to cool off. Tuesday, last week, 1/24, was when it started. So I'm going to give him a month. The Month of Silence, and it will end 2/24. Since that's during my break, I'll just end it when I come back.
That is, if I decide to.
One thing about Tauruses: normally, they are peace-loving people, and will rarely get into arguments. It takes a lot of effort to get one mad at you. However, once you have, it's going to be war. And you're probably going to lose.
He may have told Rachel that he was ANNOYED, but I know what it is. It's a declaration of war.
*sighs*
I just don't know if it's going to be worth the effort to try and salvage what I've ruined.
Of course, I'm going to apologize to him about it. That's the least I can do (and the least that he deserves). But after that, well, I just don't know.
Miranda says I can do better. But he did make me happy... when he wasn't teasing me.
I don't want to have to open my heart to other people again. I'd like it to stay closed off from the world, and impenetrable. That way, I don't ever have to be hurt.
Wow, that sounds profound and naive, doesn't it?
Better safe than sorry.
You know that saying, "It is better to have love and lost than never to have loved at all?"
Well, now I'm not so sure how much I think that's true.
Maybe it is better to not have loved.
 
On the (slightly) brighter side, I talked to Jun Min and Mohammad after history class today, and asked them about their midterm grades. Mohammad started bragging about how he got a 94 (that fucking annoying little brat), and Jun Min said that he did pretty badly-an 85-but that his parents expected him to get something in the 80s and so, he was grounded a month ago. Oh, and as I was walking to lab, I passed by him and I didn't say hi to him, like I usually do (because I just came from study hall, and I was tired, and I didn't think he'd notice), but he said hi to me kind of quietly when we passed by each other.
Well, my mood after that was cheered up considerably.
 
That is all. Now I must do my history homework and biology project.
And tomorrow, I'll probably face another day of hell and feeling like absolute shit.
 

 

 

And if you've gotten this far, congrats for you.
 
I can't stop the magnetic attraction between my pure white nails and the living canvas of my skin. And they combine to make something even more painfully needed.
Someone stop me, please.

The morning is for sleeping. Through the dark streets, they go searching to see God in their own way. Save the nighttime for your weeping, your weeping.
Cemeteries of London//Coldplay
It's the song that's currently playing right now, okay?
 
Anyways, I've uploaded the three fanfics I've written onto Quizilla, and again, my profile is http://quizilla.teennick.com/user/lostinsenselessdreams/profile
I forgot that we could use capital letters... whoops :/
So far, someone's actually seen my first one and gave me a 5/5, which makes me pretty happy to see, but with Quizilla, it's really easy for someone to give you a 5/5, because most people who rate just do that. At least it's been viewed, though. Even if some of those are my views.
I made my drunk Italy brothers story and the Canada story into a series, called The Babysitter Journals (except with special letters). And I changed my icon from a creepy question mark into Germany with a mustache.
"MOOSTACHE! Ahahahahaha, you look so very stupid with a big, bushy moostashe, like some hipster at high school party!"
That is my favorite line, right there.
Oh, and I started going through my favorite authors and adding stories to my favorites, and I finally found the quiz I was looking for! I lost it, but then I found it ^_^
http://quizilla.teennick.com/quizzes/18361104/are-you-more-suited-for-veneziano-or-romano
Tee hee. Maybe I should unleash this Hetalia energy on Rachel to annoy her on Monday. That is, if she's being bitchy. If not, I'll leave her alone.
Or maybe I'll do it to Matt. Considering if I'm going to talk to him.
Ugh. I can't believe this is happening... again.
This is basically just like deja vu, except instead of Michael, it's Matt.
Why do all my best guy friends abandon me? Especially around this time of year?
At least I know how it feels and how to deal with it:
-Ignore him at all costs
-Avoid him if I can
-Occupy myself with my other friends
-If I feel that the mood lightens up, I'll try to talk about it with him.
-Try not to let the overwhelming feelings of guilt consume me (though, I always have feelings of guilt, so this is a toughie :/)
-Keep my head in perspective
-Don't complain about it too much to my other friends (or just to Miranda, basically)
*sighs*
Way to start off, huh?
Well, @all-we-believe-in, remember how I told you I'd make it up to you by writing you a fanfic with Spain? Here we go! I'll also post this on Quizilla, under The Babysitter Journals. I got the idea for this last night, when my mom made me shovel the driveway at 7 at night -.- I don't know how much of this actually sounds like Spain, since in most fanfics, he's portrayed as a womanizer.
p.s. Don't ask me why this takes place where it does, unless you can figure out why I chose this place.
 
Snowman Weather, by Anh
 
Snowflakes fell and descended gently onto the cold ground, and the cold air nipped at your skin. Footsteps crunched in the snow behind you, and you turned around to look into bright emerald eyes.
"Mi querida, it's quite cold out here. Why did you want us to come out?" Antonio tried not to shiver, while Romano stood slightly behind him, hunched over, cramming his hands into his pockets with a grouchy face-even more grouchy than usual.
"Well, I need to clear the driveway, so I thought I'd ask my favorite Spaniard to help me," you replied, "and of course, Romano," adding that after you glanced at the moody Italian.
"C-can't we go back inside already, Spagna? It's so fucking cold outside!" Romano burst at Antonio, "You know what, fuck this! I'm going by myself!" He marched his way to the house, and you sighed as Antonio ran after him.
Couldn't he take a little coldness?
You picked up your shovel, and started pushing the snow out of the driveway. Tossing the snow onto the grass, you noticed how the snow stuck to the other snow, and you grinned. This was the perfect kind of snow for your favorite winter activity.
"Lo siento, [Name], but Romano is not in a good mood today, because of the cold weather. I'm not used to this weather, myself, either," a smooth voice said. You smiled at the tall man, and said kindly, "That's all right, Antonio! I mean, it must be really different in Spain than it is from here in Canada," picking up another shovelful of snow and tossing it.
"Ah, you shouldn't have to do such hard work like that! Let me help you," and he started to shovel the driveway alongside with you. He shivered as the wind picked up, and you felt so bad for him that you took a step closer and hugged him. His cheeks flushed, but he hugged you back.
He was about to put his face in your hair when you, a little shy that you were so close to him, suddenly pulled out of the hug, and dropped your shovel on the ground. "Hey, Antonio, let's make a snowman! I bet that will make being out here more fun!" you called over, and he couldn't help but smirk a little.
"Weren't we having some fun with what we were just doing?" he thought, as he walked closer to you, where you had already started to roll the first ball of snow. You pushed and rolled the ball all over the ground until it grew large enough for your liking. He had already started to roll the second one, occasionally patting it with his gloves.
As you two began to assemble the snowman, Romano looked out the window from inside. He began to feel jealous that you two were having so much fun, and so, he threw on his coat, gloves, and boots, and ran outside, braving the cold. "Hey, I wanna help you guys, too! No fair!" You turned around, and saw the Italian running as fast as he could in the snow. You had just been in a pleasant conversation with Antonio about holiday traditions, and was a little disappointed when you saw him.
"Of course, my little Roma! Here, this is how you start a snowman," Antonio replied cheerfully, and started helping him make his own snowman. You could hear the pleasant lilt of Antonio's voice mixed with Romano's childish complaints as you stood next to your finished snowman. Romano was so much like a little kid, and Antonio his father.
"HEY! Get back here, you Spanish bastardo!" Antonio laughed as he ran away from the fuming Italian, snow dripping from his face as he chased him. You giggled, and ran after them with your own snowball to try and resolve the fight... or start one of your own. Antonio looked back, and saw you running after them. He could only smile wistfully.
He was going to have to leave Romano in Italy next time he visited.

Ah, I can't wait to go ice skating with Miranda! But I have to finish coloring my drawing of us... whoops! I have a few hours, though. And then we're going to dinner ^_^
Why are all of my sets turning so pastel and girly? Huh...
