BEYOURPET

Today I decided to take some photos to put in this entry, because I feel like I haven’t been doing that as much lately and I miss it.
I haven’t been doing a whole lot new since my last post. Trev’s V-Day gift video game finally came in the mail yesterday, so I spent a big chunk of the day playing that, oops… And I’ve been watching some Guide to Life to cheer me up more, because it’s so funny and she’s so cute.

Today has been more productive. I applied for a job, took photos of stuff I’ve been needing to take photos of, caught up on some emails (although I still have a lot to catch up with ), edited some videos, and did some chores that needed doing… Hopefully I can get some book writing done later, too.
But tonight I’m going to dinner with Trev for some work dinner. So I have my hair up in rag curls and need to go get dressed after I post this entry. Should be nice.

Last night I painted my nails, and I like them a lot so I took a photo. The photo really doesn’t do them justice because the glitters sparkle so nicely and the pink is much more pretty in person. They look like princess nails to me. 

Today I decided, since I was already taking photos, to take a photo of a little V-Day gift I gave Trev. I know it’s March now, but I never showed it…
It’s supposed to be me, hurrhur, holding a Valentine that says “I’ll be your pet”. 
I made this little paper frame for it (that is not supposed to be a permanent frame but just as a card presentation okk) out of construction paper and an old book. Kind of like my heart garland, I used the left overs and some color hearts.

And this is the owl I made for him for our anniversary. It’s done in charcoal on drawing paper. It’s really quite big, 18×24. I need to find a place or frame for it because at the moment it is sleeping on top of my bookshelf and falls down with a slight breeze from shutting the door…. The problem with giving art gifts to the boyfriend you live with is that instead of it disappearing to their house after they’ve opened it, it just winds up back in your own art room, taking up space… Haha.   But it’s really just because I don’t have a good place to store this art stuff at the moment. And we don’t want to hang anything on the walls anymore being that we’re moving… Hopefully in the future I can build myself a little painting shelf of some kind to store unframed works…

Here are some photos I took today. It has been raining so nicely on and off all day. I love rainy days, they’re my absolute favorite. They automatically make me feel twice as happy, or add happiness to a day that doesn’t yet have any. I wish I could have spent it a little more lazily though, I want to spend a rainy day writing and drawing. Maybe tomorrow.

It was raining so hard that the creek flooded again (like in the entry I posted before).

My reflection in the glass door, I’m wearing a romper and rag curls.

Oh I almost forgot, I posted an “Outside My House” tour the other day! My house is too messy right now to do a full tour, but I thought this would be fun.

Some other stuff I wanted to post was about what I’ve been liking lately.
I’ve been reading A Little Princess, and of course since I’ve seen the movie about a bazillion times, I always picture in my mind these characters and aesthetics. I love this movie, and the book is just as good, too. It’s been helping me stay inspired for my book writing, because it has some similarities…

I also have been obsessing over Rule of Rose, the Play Station 2 game. I decided to finally buy it, after trying to find it for download or for super cheap somewhere and realizing it was not going to happen… It was more than I would ever normally spend for such an old game (and used!), but I figured “I’ll sell it back” and just decided to go for it. It’s a pretty unique and rare game, and I think it will help me a lot with my book writing inspiration (if that gives you any more clues as to what it’ll be about, haha)…
Here are some screenshots of both. You might be able to view them larger if you click them.

Spoilers to the movie A Little Princess (1995) and the game Rule of Rose for PS2 (2006).
Although can it really be called a spoiler when they’re that old? Still, I don’t want to ruin anyone’s fun…
(These are just screencaps anyway)

(Most of these A Little Princess screencaps were taken from Eras of Elegance.)

Most of the images were taken from Rule of Rose Wiki, which is a very in depth community site all about the game. Definitely worth checking out if you’re as obsessed with it as me and can’t actually play it at the moment…

The music is actually quite good too. Violin creepy kind. I love good game music. I literally downloaded the Silent Hill soundtrack, haha.

And speaking of writing and books, I posted a video of my book notes of so far. It’s nothing exciting, or at least, it’s probably only exciting to me. But I have a notebook full of little notes and doodles and ideas and writing and character drawings! Even a paper doll I’ve made (and still need to paint). I also have pages of notes on my computer. I’m so excited about all of this!

Well, that’s it for now. I must go get dressed or I will be late for a very important date!
