Health.

So lately I've been trying to get healthy under a tight budget.
Healthy eating typically isn't difficult to me, because my mum is pretty health conscious, and she cooks most of the meals. I mostly watch what I eat. I'm not trying to restrict too much, because if I ever want to eat a regular meal again, I know I'll continue eating regular/big portions and I will gain a lot of weight. I've been playing a lot of DDR, and trying to do exercises at home (since I am too paranoid to go to the gym alone.)
I mostly mean my hair and skin. I've stopped using products on my hair. (except shampoo and conditioner) I use olive oil to moisturize, although I still use my flat iron. I want to continue straightening my hair. For a moment I thought maybe I'd go all the way natural, but it just wasn't for me. I'm just not used to my natural hair being the way it is right now. I'm used to ramen, which I don't have anymore. :(
I've been working really hard on my skin, though. As I type I have an oatmeal-egg white-honey mask. (1 egg white, 1 tablespoon of honey. Whisk the two until frothy. Add finely chopped oats until it makes a paste.) But let's backtrack.
I said I want my cuteness back, and I'm going to get it back! I was getting my daily intake of lolita and other kawaii things, when I read about "Lolita Skin Care" on a forum. It gave this recipe(1/4 cup water, 1/4 olive oil, Sugar until paste) for body scrub. I tried it and it worked SO WELL. (body=dry winter skin). So, this inspired me to move on to other things, especially because this scrub didn't work on the skin on my face (combination skin, ech.)
So I tried washing my face like normal and then doing an egg mask. (1 egg white, whisked until frothy. Apply to face. Wait until completely dry [10-15 minutes?]. Rinse. 1 egg yolk, apply to face. Wait until completely dry [same]. Rinse.) It didn't do much for me. (I think it was the egg yolk... orz)
So today, I went all out. Before I took a shower, I started boiling water. When I finished, I lowered the heat a bit and started making my concoctions. Oatmeal-egg white-honey mask as well as a simple scrub: baking soda-water scrub. Water, add baking soda until paste. When I was done making them, I put the pot of water on the table, held my face above the pot and covered my head with a towel. (Like a little steam room. XD) Did this for ten minutes. I had to kinda lift the towel up on the sides to let some out, because obviously it was kinda hard to breathe. After this, I rubbed my blackheads gently with toilet paper. Put on the oatmeal mask. Let it sit for ten minutes. Rinsed. Then I scrubbed my face with the baking soda scrub, and left it on for two minutes, tops. Rinsed. Applied toner. Moisturized where it was needed, and voila! My skin feels fantastic. XD I hope it stays this way.
I plan on doing this once a week and exfoliating with the baking soda like every other day. Hopefully I will look and feel better soon!

Food and Video games.

I LOVE BLAZBLUE. M y fav rite arac er is A akune. I wish I had my own 360 so I could play it all day. It's a fighting game, but there is an actual storyline. Like, you know when you play a fighting game there's just like vs. player 2 or vs. cpu [arcade mode]? And then the CPU is just like HERES THIS GUY LOL ROUND 1 FITE!!!!!!!!1 ?? You know? This game [in story mode] has like a little "animation" for each round. It's not really a flowing animation, it's a background with the involved characters changing expressions and poses and stuff, but ya know. LOVE IT.
I'm kinda late with the BlazBlue love, but oh well.

Anyway, lately I've had this insatiable urge to cook and bake. And my mum is like ssslllllooooooooooooooow doooooooooooooooooown and I'm like fuck you! and I kick her in the face with my ENERGY LEGS. And I really really wanna open that tea house LIKERIGHTNOW. Oh well, more time to practice and plan, right? :3 I need to talk to a dude who's smart and can help me with that.
What else? I need to start playing pokemon again so I have motivation to draw more gross pokemon. WHY AM I SO UNMOTIVATED TO DO EEVVEERRYYTTHHIINNG. Is that a disease? Cure it. I feel more fat now, on a similar note. Like, I can feel my double chin there. All like gelatin. Squigglin' around, trying to make me look uglier. :( and my tummy shows through almost all of my shirts now! Great.

I am naturally slimey

Hahahawhaw, I'm just sick. woohoo, maybe I'll make up for all the time I spent NOT drawing! Expect another entry/and edit on this one later.
Yesterday was the scout dinner, I'm proud of you eagles! X]It was fun.
Someone asked me if I had ever modeled and I laughed and everyone at the table looked weirded out that she asked that.
I got a kiss on the hand from a kid. On the topic of hand kissing, why does everyone DO that now!? When Eric first did that to me, it was so special and romantic, he was my Tuxedo Mask! He was the only one that ever did that to me. Now people just do it all willy nilly. It's not special anymore. :( What is this sudden outburst of hand kissing?

Anyway, I've been thinking about cosplaying because NYAF is in September and I want to be READY, YO! I've been thinking about:
Kaname Kuran from Vampire Knight
A.B.A from Guilty Gear
I would LOVE to be Zappa, [he's my favorite!] but he has muscles. Although I just saw a cosplay of him by a chubby guy, and I don't think I'd be worse than that. Everyone knows I love to be squirmy so I know I could act the part.
Gimpi from GaiaOnline (Gaia is coming to NYAF, but if there are a lot of Gaians I will consider it!) Gimpi requires a ton of work (the skin! D:) so I might not do this, but I do love Gimpi so!
I would love more cosplay ideas because I'm not super duper excited about any of these ideas. (Kaname is very beautiful so I might not live up to expectations, A.B.A wears a short skirt + has a huge weapon and Zappa is muscley.)

I need to go to the gym, I need to call Planet Fitness about this because when I go to pay for it on the website it tells me that it doesn't cost anything, and I don't want to put in the credit card information not knowing what I'll be charged. I mean, maybe I'm retarded and I just don't understand it... if you understand it please tell me.
So yes, gym so I can be back in shape! Eating properly is never the problem for me- it's the inactivity. So I can definitely lose the weight in time for NYAF if I sign up soon.

That's about it. :O
