Once upon a time, my nose bled.

Concerning my real life: I did absolutely nothing today. I made plans and then turned into "Shanna" [quote by Muffin] because I was hanging on the couch surrounded by pillows. [For those of you who don't obsessively watched Meet The Barkers: Shanna, Travis Barker's then-wife, basically just sits around all day. She sleeps til about 4 and does absolutely nothing.]

Well. I did something. I had a nosebleed. Yesterday while taking a shower I had my first nosebleed in this house. Today I just broke it again, I guess. I’m known to get nosebleeds easily when it’s hotter outside, I’ve had this since I was a little kid. I also get nosebleeds when it’s supercold, or during exams. Well, it makes for some funny stories!

Once upon a time, I was back!

I’m back from my mini holidays! I don’t know how many blogs are titled that I’m back, but whatever. This counts! I was away from Saturday until Monday night, and it was all pure adventure! I love it. I didn’t get to go on a real holiday this year, but I consider those 50-something hours as holiday enough!

While I was away, Muffin took care of my Poupée Girl, and so here are the last few "Daily Pupe"s!

And then I was back and did it myself again. In the time I went away, there was a new event and the dolls are now on a cruiseship! There are new items in the shop, special event items… ah, I so addicted to Pupe now! I think I’ll be busy updating new items into my closet [my own stuff, not the doll's] for a long time, haha, so I’ll be blogging about this often, too. But I won’t let it dominate my blog, so this will be all on Pupe for today ;)

Apart from playing with Pupe, I have more interesting news: I have new hair! Two wigs, to be exact! I find it quite cute, and loads of fun! Muffin has always said that long hair looked good on me, but I don’t want to give up my mohawk and funky colours, so no chance that I would grow my hair long anytime soon! Though I would get jealous of the models in the GLB with the nice hair to go with their supercute coordinations. I decided to get a wig to make everyone happy, but I couldn’t pick and they were cheap, so I ended up with two! Here’s some evidence of how I look with semi-long hair! Enjoy \(*ˆωˆ)/

I had fun with my basket, so I made a little gif, haha!

And last but not least, the other wig!

Well, that was it for today, hope you like my hair as much as I do ヾ(ˆ∇ˆ)

Once upon a time, I was in doubt.

When in doubt, waste your time!

Okaaay, so the original plan was to go to Castlefest tomorrow. But I was doubting so much, for so long, that I have decided against it. Now that this one doubt is out of the way, I still have a few others. But have no fear! Because I know exactly what to do in situations like this. [Situations where I just don't know... or just don't want to make a decision]

I have found new love for Pupe!

Yes, you might let your eyes wander off to the right side of the screen, the second sidebar and oh! What’s that? A little widget with a doll-like flash animation? Yes, my friends, that doll is my Poupée Girl ["Poupée" is French for "Doll"]. Well, what is Pupe and what is that doll?

Pupe is a place for girls with a love for clothes [like me] to show off said clothes and have some sort of online wardrobe. Which is awesome for girls who are addicted to the internet [like me] and want to show off things they have in their [sad] real lives. But the great thing is, you don’t just get to upload photos of your clothes and connect them to the respective brands so you can see other clothes by that brand, noooooooo.

You also get your own doll! Which is awesome, because then you can put clothes on your doll! [And girls love to play around with different outfits and styles, so once you have a few items, the possibilities are endless!] But to earn clothes, you first have to earn ribbons! And you get those ribbons by… yes, uploading photos to your wardrobe. It’s not really as simple as that since there are a few more things that come into play with Pupe, but in general, that’s the gist.

I hope I explained that well enough. You should just look around the site, it’s easy enough – even if a lot of it is in Japanese o_O – and just because it’s so easy means it’s so addicting. Well, I’m not as addicted as some girls are, considering I’ve had my Pupe account since March and only now have been busy with it for so many hours straight, but I think I can very well be getting addicted anyway.

So now that I’m finally getting to upload my clothes separately into my online wardrobe, I’ve been planning to make this blog also a bit more of a style-blog. I’ve always liked coming up with something to wear to go out, and lately I’ve been asking Muffin to take photos of those outfits. My plan was to upload the photos on the right day, but, you know me! So I don’t really know how that will turn out, yet. But it’ll be good, I promise. What I was actually thinking was that maybe I can post my Pupe outfit to make up for it. A daily snapshot of a Pupe is easily made and shared. I want to see if I can do that, maybe not daily but at least semi-daily. This post is the try-out!

My Daily Pupe 080801

Love for green! A summery outfit [I'm barefoot today, so I gave my Pupe cute nailpolish] with a new dress, a new purse and a new ribbon! Finally my Pupe’s head looks a litttttle bit like the real me! Lol.

I cheated though, because this isn’t really my daily snapshot for 080801, but I had already done mine for the day. Then I got all these new cute items and decided to make this one. So now I’m using it here! Yay.

[Holy wowzers, I just did an "add media" with the new Wordpress... I haven't done that since eh... 2007. I always used external media, like Flickr. But ah! There's a Flickr option here too now! Amaaaaazing! I love it.]

But hey, I’ve been rambling on about nothing for much too long now, I have things to doubt about and I have to finally get my act together, [and upload some more items] so I’ll talk to you tomorrow again I guess! Ciao! Infinite x’s and o’s!
