Life, Lately.

(This is an update since New Years.)

My dad, (my best friend...) just passed away on January 8th, 2012. Not sure if I've already updated you, but yeah... He passed.

Things got a little more bright, later in January, and then everything went crashing down on February 27, 2012...

But yet, I am holding on. I decided to stop whining about things as much as I can-- And hopefully I stay true to that.

That is all.

Life.

I went to the arts & crafts fair downtown yesterday. And though I didn't like 99.9% of the art there, I loved 100% of the people. Everyone made it safe to be artistic, creative, eccentric.... And to be yourself.

I loved it.

And for once, random people complimented my outfit continuously. Many people liked it...

OK, here are five stories of the arts fair, and how it affected my life.

1. I met a woman at a booth.
She loved my outfit and complimented me, and I said thank you. This was after I bought one of her rings that were $3.00... she was sooooo kind. And the woman she was with had the best glasses! They had checkered frames. The checks were black and white, and the lenses were circular, like John Lennons.
What I learned from it??? Well, to help others by supporting their art (like me buying her ring), and then they will support yours (my fashion.)

2. I met an amazing musician.
I was walking down the street of booths with my guitar... Yes, I was carrying an acoustic this whole time, because I wanted to play on the sidewalk. But anyways, I went to the side of the road. My friend, Annie, tuned my guitar while a woman looked on. She eventually spoke up, and said she played bluegrass. I liked her immediately. I then told her about how my music teacher taught me blues, though she said blues and bluegrass were completely different. This is when I told her that it didn't matter, because I still learned to appreciate the bluesy sound of a soulful guitar... she liked me a lot, and wanted to play my guitar a bit later, but she was busy and eventually decided not to.
What I learned was that we have more similarities than differences.

3. I met an amazing girl.
Her name was Kuan/Quan/Kwan... she was sooooo beautiful. And she just said hi and was so warm to me. She seemed fascinated by me, somehow. I don't know why... no one has ever showed that much interest in me. But she did. And I took the same interest in her.
She was working for a man who sold clothing. My friend Annie knew him, so therefore Kwan and I were tied together through friends. Kwan talked to me about music and how I should go to open mic at Funk'n'Waffles... (Which I will totally do...)
And then, the most touching, amazing, riveting, lifechanging thing happened...
She exposed the artistic side of herself to me.
I think this is the most vulnerable side, also... But she took a camera out, and took pictures of me... I noticed it a few seconds after she had started clicking, but I just smiled... And she had a pretty good camera! You know, it was a Canon. And it was official, with its straps and lenses... She was a professional photographer!!!
And she was interested.. in me.
I then looked away and acted natural as she clicked away. I wanted to give her some candid-looking shots. So I looked nice and natural and let her make art....
And what I learned from this is that I am special. I can get by, with a little help from my friends... And that they come in all packages. Even cool ones that would normally intimidate me.
Because as long as I'm confident, I can make friends with the coolest of the cool.
And Kwan was just about as cool as they come, in my book!

4. I met an amazing man.
I don't know his name... But let me tell you something. He was SO KIND. I walked into his booth of clothes that he makes. I commented on his art, and he was touched. But before I even COULD comment on the wonderful art & clothing, he commented on my fashion. He said I should go to San Fransisco. The intersection of Haight & Ashbury. Where all the kindred spirits drop acid.
But anyways, he was amazingly kind and he was a freebird. Annie and I talked to him about the earth, o-zone, government, greed.... Everything. I got to know the man. And though he portrayed a concerned soul, a sense of optimism spread throughout the surroundings. He was truly soft.
What I learned was that I am worth the wait of childhood. I should wait until childhood is over. I shouldn't give up.... I should wait, wait, wait... wait until childhood is over and things get better.
And I learned how optimism can save the day.

5. I met an amazing chef.
Her name was Gwen... check out Gwen's Grill or Ruby's Soul Food. Ruby is Gwen's mother........
Gwen was a kind woman who served up the BEST burger I have possibly tasted. So juicy, and hearty.
But the food didn't matter, because it was mainly the conversation we held.
She was so cool and kind. She gave us paper towels to hold our food in as plates. Because it was "old school" as she said it. This was funny.
But the thing is is that she was soooo cool. She constantly talked to us, but she was interesting. Most people can't talk a lot without being boring. But she talked about so many things she was positively captivating.
She seemed to have a lot to say.
She even gave me her card, and that I could play guitar at her new restaurant any time!!!
What I learned from her is that there are amazing opportunities, and that there is a little hope within all of us.

What I learned from all these people???
Life is worth the wait.

SOWWY!

Annnnnd.... To top it all offf..... MY MOM GOT ME DONUTS!!! ^o^ {♥}



And THAT is pretty much why my life rocks...!!!! <3

Slang Knowledge is Power!

I learned somethin' newww.

I was searching on GOOGLE to see "kawaii neko" but it turns out it means something other than "cute cat."

No. It does NOT mean something dirty. You hentai.

Anyways, I searched for it on the urbandictionary and found outtt:

A kawaii neko is one who comes to japanese class dressed as if he/she were going to an anime convention.

There was more to it, but my computer worked like a monkey on crack. So ohhh wellll.....

I guess that's all I have to share: what "kawaii neko" meant, and that my computer is a drug fiend.

buhbye.

Dreams.

So. True.

I soooo wish I was in NYC right now. The traffic, noise, music, neon... everything. I want to start an art career there, or fashion. I'm split in between... But I know that whatever I wish to do, I can do it!

I am so incredibly bored with life right now. I want some passion for living right about now.

But I'm glad I at least have a sense of humor through all this. Dwindling as it may be.

Sooooooo Yeah.

I might go to NYC this summer though... Wooooot! You're jealous..? Good. Because I'M GOING TO NYCCCC! IM GOING TO NYCCC! *singsong voice*

Heehee.

Anyways, I'll post something uplifting later. ^-^"

Buhbye, kawaii friends.

Awesome Movie--- FACTORY GIRL

OK. So I basically found a reaally awesome movie! I always have been a fan of Andy Warhol's art, but now I've found a movie about the lives behind the scenes...

Enter FACTORY GIRL.

Though seemingly kiss-ass to Warhol and Sedgwick at times, it usually paints the cruel portrait most of the time; Scheming, coniving, and all-around mean!

However, I am almost done watching it. I'll try to report back later on how it was. :)

But I have enjoyed it so far. "So far" meaning 90% of the movie. It took me 3 days so far to get there though, considering I have been crazily busy. Shall I explain?

Well, I might NOT BE GOING TO JAPAN! I swear, no words can express my grief... But it's somewhat okay, because we WILL be going next year, meaning that the American dollar will be worth more when we shop in Tokyo..... YAY FOR AVANT GARDE CLOTHING! ^_^

Hopefully everything turns out great with traveling... But I know it will..... I'm just thinking, "Hey, why not NYC this summer instead of Japan?"

This is a logical thought. Why? Because I live in New York State, Duh. ^_^;;;

But GUESS WHAT! I bought some orange and yellow synthetic hair... I will TOTALLY MAKE IT INTO SOME FAKE HAIR PIECES! To be more specific, though... FAKE DREADLOCKS!

Yayy.

I guess I'm done nowww ^_^;;;

Tales of Stale Sushi...

Basicallyyy...

I made sushi a week ago. And no, I didn't make a normal amount. That makes too much sense.

Instead, I had to make a really large amount. 10 rolls of futomaki, to be specific...

NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM!!!!

Soo.... Since I get flustered/confused easily, I tossed 'em in the toilet... Flushhh.

Yeah. That was about it for today... Except for the fact that I am extremely bored.

OH!! And I'm crocheting a little amigurumi bear now! Kawaii deshou?!

Anyways, Gotta go.

-Mika

Whoa--- A post with no media?

True, true. I decided to just update about my life.... With no pictures!!

Must be the end of tha worllddd... Oh noes!!!

Anyways;;♥;.. I basically am nervous lately. I mean, I've got the regents coming up, and I might just get them done and over with without studying much... Why? Because I simply am lacking credits... I wasn't in 'real' school for a while, meaning I was HOMESCHOOLED.

Yeah, I was a sheltered little nerd. Teehee;

But anyways... I basically just might get a GED and then go straight to college afterwards. I probably will make an online buisiness to get me started financially. I've already been starting to create little felt creatures... I could start selling crochet creations, also...

...Me? ...Possible mogul? Teehee. I hope so!

But basically, I'm just really confused with my future... let me write down all my possible occupations:

-Graphic Artist?

-A model for D.I.Y. clothing lines?

-Chef?

-Internet mogul? (see above thoughts with crochet and felt... ha.)

-Hair stylist?

No clue.
But whatever I do, I plan to...
S-U-C-C-E-E-D!!!!


OK. I'm done with that thought...Hah.


Another thing going on in my life is my mom's birthday! It's finally here! We're going to a restaurant tonight. Forget dinner, let's go straight to DESSERT!!! Nom nom nom.... yummyy!!

I'm also knitting a scarf now. If it matters, it has orange and white stripes. An homage to JUNO, my faaave movie. ♥ ♥

I think I'm just blabbering now, though. So buhbye<3

Best Movie Evarz? {SPOILERS AHEAD}

My favorite movie: JUNO... Movie most of my friends dislike: JUNO.
I have no clue why.
Some of my friends say that the reason they don't like it is that it is, and I quote, "Too Dark." And that confuses the hell outta me. I do see how it can be labeled "dark," but how is an unexpected teenage pregancy a happy time? Beats me.
My companions also thought that the situation of Mark leaving Vanessa was the darkest part, though I just call it the "conflict" in a story. I mean, there had to be some sort of wreckingball towards the otherwise easygoing story!
Some other critics have said that it lightened the topic of a unexpected pregnancy. I only have one thing to say... don't take everything so seriously. I have a few friends myself that have dealt with a teenage pregnancy, and they LOVED the movie.... They happen to have it on DVD, but I digress. :)
But what about KNOCKED UP? They seemed to loooove that sexist pig-fest. I swear, that was so sexist it must have made even Don Imus blush. Or throw up, considering it was so disgusting with it's unintelligent innuendo.
And I know all this from the previews. I can't even stand to watch that pile of crap stacked in a DVD case.
But all in all, I believe movies that empower women and are actually funnier than KNOCKED UP tend to spur critique.
That's okay, women will be equal to men one day. And when they do, call me... we'll throw a party. Full of stereotypes and sexual harrassment towards men. :)

Sugar Sugar Cupcakes!

Boredom can consume man and turn him insane. However, Boredom made me make cupcakes today.
Sugar = better than madness.
Yahoo. Here we go!
FYI: This was my first baking project... woot!

{That's the batter and stuffz up there! ^-^}

{OMG Midget Cupcake!!! Like a Midget Muffin, but bettarz!}

That's after I baked 'em. And without further ado, the FINISHED, FROSTED PRODUCT!

{Frosted-y goodnesss.}

OH SNAP!!! I bet you no other cook could pull that pink frosting off QUITE as I did.

I mean, I'm just keepin' it real!!! :)

I love cooking now.

Hope you enjoyed as much as I did.... But I know you didn't, because you didn't get to taste them...

But they're crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside... The cake is sweet, so is the frosting!!!

You wish you had skills like me. Oh, you wish...

Teehee.

Well, have a great weekend and Happy Memorial Day if I don't post until then.
