Washington DC ~ Part 1

This past weekend I took a little trip to DC!

I got to visit my friend George and check out some of the sights!

On Saturday we went to the National Mall and checked out the Air and Space Museum! The last time I went I was a kid so it was very meaningful to me. It's a great museum and I highly recommend it! I especially loved the picture collection and the exhibit about how public flights changed over the years, from uniforms to amenities to furnishing!

We faced the cold and walked down the mall to the Washington Monument which was beautiful in the setting sun. By the time we reached the Lincoln Memorial it was dark! The monuments were so pretty at night!

SexPot New Stock!

Here I show off the new SexPot Revenge items at Tokyo Rebel!

Happy New Year!

A new year a new start!

Well...not completely. I would never want to start my life fresh. Despite the attraction a clean slate brings I would never want to erase the memories, good and bad, that helped build me to who I am today. While I've had a tough year I've also had the best friends, the greatest times, the funniest laughs, and lots of new experiences!

I wasn't going to have a resolution this year, because stating it just for New Years is silly, I should want to do these things anyway. So after thinking

here is what I came up with:

- Procrastinate less

- Give my all to school and the upcoming exhibit

- Don't be afraid to be myself! Be outspoken!

- Keep up my Japanese

- Go back to Japan in Summer!

- Learn some more makeup tricks

To start this year off with a bang I got all dolled up for work New Years Day!

Nicole's Fantasic Dolly and Sheryl wig! I felt so adorable haha I'm not usually girly but I couldn't resist!

Happy New Year everyone! Give this one your all!

Snoww

Snow has hit hard here in Jersey! We got about 25inches near me!

I broke 2 shovels shoveling out it was crazy!!! Also it ruined my plans on Monday(when it was full blast) so as much as I love snow I was a bit annoyed. George came over yesterday and we built this snowman though XD;;

Also a pic of me at Nicole's last week, she put me in her Fantasic Dolly OP:

You can't tell here too much but man was it baggy in the chest XD;;

Pledge

So I'm totally in love with Gazette's new PV and song Pledge, and well the whole single. Pledge is really moving to me and I reminds me of Cassis but like with a more matured musical taste. I can't explain it really. The acoustic near the beginning really reminds me as well as the guitar solo switch off, but it really goes well in this song. The guitar solo between Aoi and Uruha is really emotional and well played. To me it sounds like old style mixed with new to create this ballad. The lyrics and mood are inspiring to me and I can relate so well at this point in my life.

"The thing I realized　

only after I hurt you

I was looking for the number of faults in you　

when we should have looked at each other

Our days were buried in small lies　

So that we can fight the doubts

Our hearts know the meaning of losing each other　

This second winter is standing still

You are lost because you cannot see tomorrow　

Raising your voice you were crying

Without being able to find any words I just caught your tears

Wrapped in loneliness the days soaked both of us

We were repeatedly looking for understanding　

I can feel it deeply once again

It's no lie when I said that I felt eternity

I will certainly be by your side

I don't need "I love you" anymore

If only you'd stay forever by my side

I want to be broken by you

Who exhausted your voice by crying

All the words from the beginning to the end were said to you

So that you won't let go of these arms

The same dream that stood by our side washed us both away

The small lies change their shapes and dissolve into a white breath of air

So that we won't forget the meaning of losing each other　

It doesn't matter how many times my heart is stabbed

I leave this "goodbye" right here and move forward

I won't lose you once again

So that we can assure ourselves of our love we both had to see sorrow

Even if we both end up vanishing tomorrow　

It's okay to not cry anymore

Someday we will change into two people that pass like the seasons

Even if there will be nights when you will be frozen from sadness

Don't forget

Nothing will ever end

In a deep dream"

Dec 4

Today me and Justin decided to go to the Natural History Museum! It's so big and full of interesting things - but the best part is going with a friend to take it all in! I had gone a long time ago really briefly so it felt new to me. The have a large dinosaur exhibit and the floating planets are also really cool! I definitely recommend going at least once!Especially since it's only a 'suggested price' you can just give a small donation of your choice instead of their over priced 'fee'. Hey poor art college student!

After we met up with others and headed to flushing for of course - Purikura! However to our disappointment it was closed! Instead we just goofed off and enjoyed a yummy Shabu Shabu dinner!

Dec 3rd

Work was nice today! Talked to some fun people and also decorated the store for Christmas!!

I also put new SPR pictures up!

I put tinsel up on the the shelves and put fake snow and presents in the window! =D

After work I met up with Justyn and his roommate Kevin to see the big Tree in Rockerfella center!

And after we went to Fridays after a failed attempt for Justyn to take us to Goodburger XD;;
