  1. Mine are brown, but I kinda wish they were icy blue or light grey. Just something a little more... VK. I've always been a bit squeamish about putting contacts in, especially since I saw a girl nearly have to go to A&E because her contact rolled into a part of her eye it wasn't supposed to. Anyways, enough of that gruesomeness. Here is my eye.

  2. I have mild autism and ADHD. I don't so much mind the autism - in fact, I personally really like it because it allows me to be creative/imaginative, plus I'm not high-functioning so it's relatively easy to deal with - but the ADHD is a bitch when I'm trying to do homework and it's taking me hours longer than it should. It really affects my sleeping patterns, which are bad enough as is. For some reason, I've always had trouble sleeping. I've developed some sort of breathing issue which isn't helping much. I went to see the doctor about that today, and she didn't find anything wrong with me during that appointment (which thankfully means it's most likely nowt too serious), but she wants to do blood tests in two weeks to see if I'm anaemic. Not sure how that's gonna work out, seeing as I'm actually too light to donate blood. Not really a disability, but I'm 4'11.5" and I weigh 97lbs, and I have a very fast metabolism. I can manage it (97lbs is petite for my height, but not underweight), but I have to eat a lot if I want to stay healthy and not have my weight fluctuate.

    Oh, and I have chiari malformation (the bottom of my brain pushes down onto the top of my spine, which isn't nearly as deadly as it sounds), which means I can only spin once or twice on a spinny chair before I get dizzy. Runs in the female side of my family. Also, it means I can't swim (I don't even float, I just sink *.*) or ride a bike. Being born with a fuckton of dislocated bones (the worst being my right hip) didn't help matters much either. My bones are alright now, but they crackle and crunch a lot and it's kind of gross if you're squeamish about that kind of thing... but hey, I can touch my head with my right foot, so that's something!

    Also, I have anxiety but it's not that bad.

    Whew! That's pretty much everything.


  3. I love Lolitashow, but I don't own anything from them because my poor bank account T_T it's not that they're badly priced, because they're actually pretty reasonable (for the most part). It's just that I have a long wishlist on that site and I know I'd get addicted to spending all my money on it.

    As for clothes I do actually own, I mostly just go to Primark/H&M because they're close-by and affordable, but I haven't really bought any new clothes in bloody ages. Not that I really need to. I also go to Claire's whenever I feel like some new accessories.

    Also... the Hatoful Boyfriend official merch shop. X)

    Really always enjoyed Moran's single/album covers. I love their L'oiseau blue single and their All Time Best album covers.

    Was actually gonna mention Moran. Their album covers are gorgeous :)

    I also like the limited edition version of the GazettE's Beautiful Deformity.

    If I think of any more, I'll mention them.


  5. Well, this came much earlier than expected! I still haven't finished those fizzy soda sweets from last time. I have a grand total of five things to review this time, and they look good!

    So, fun fact about me; I can barely read Japanese at all without my little guidebook, and nearly everything on this packet is written in Japanese, so the only way I could find out which company made this was by looking on the back and finding their website URL. Anyways, they're called Coris, and these sweets - as written in English, thank goodness - are plum-flavoured chews. They smell quite nice and they look kind of like little light pink gumballs. They're not gummy, but they're soft and they taste pretty sugary. I give them a 9/10!

    These ones are made by Morinaga. They look and smell... odd. Okay, so they don't look bad, but they're not like anything I've ever come across before. Before even tasting them, I can tell they're apple-flavoured, because... well, look at the packaging. Anyways, they're actually not bad. I think they're tiny apple chunks in Rice Krispie and nut squares (or oblongs), and they're unusually addictive and sweet. I give them a 7/10.

    My, my, is that some dark chocolate I see? I absolutely love dark chocolate (which is odd, as I usually hate bitter things), so yippee! It's a big crispy dark choc fish made by Meito. Unusual design choice, but cute. It tastes a little different to other dark choc I've had before; probably because it's crispy, so it's not as rich. It's also got this smooth, bubbly chocolate inside... basically, it's like someone took a Quaver, coloured/flavoured it like an Oreo, then filled it with Aero and shaped it like a fishy. Anyways, it's good. My only criticism besides the lack of richness would be the fact that it's just one big fish and not loads of little ones, so if you're not the sort of person who likes to shove things back in the packets for later, you've gotta eat it all in one go. Thankfully, I am that sort of person, so I give it an 8/10.

    Next up is a packet of crisps from Calbee. They kinda remind me of those stick potato things I reviewed in the first post, so they're... not great. Not awful, but not great. They're kind of bland and they have a vaguely sweet aftertaste and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Not much else I can really say about these... I give them a 5/10.

    Last but not least, we have an adorable little train! I know my laptop camera's kinda crappy (I don't have a good quality camera... or even a smartphone, because they always break on me -_-), but if you look reeeeaaaal close, you can see little people in the windows! How cute is that? Now, it says Azusa on it... whether that's the name of the company or a reference to the Japanese train company Azusa, I don't know. I looked on the bottom, but all the writing was in Japanese. Anyways, it kind of reminded me of a Pez dispenser before I even opened it, and after opening it, I can see why I thought that. It's long, and it rattles, and it functions kind of like one, too. You open it at the back first and take out this little baggy of tiny chocolate balls, then you empty them out into the train. You then push open the little flap thingy on the bottom and tip them out! 10/10 for design and 6/10 for taste (they're a little bland), so I guess that's an 8/10 overall? Or am I being too generous in my reviews? Maybe.

     

    My favourite shipment is still the last one with only three items. Here's hoping the next one can top it!

     


  6. The time has come yet again! This time, I only have three things to tell you about, but they look good! I can sort of tell just by looking at them that they should be sweeter than last time.

    The company who makes this is Muscat, in case you were interested (I shoulda put which company made which sweets last time... oh, well). Not sure if they're the same company who made the grape gummies from last time, but when I opened them up, they had a very similar smell. Obviously, these ones are also grape-flavoured... and grape-shaped! Like the smell, their taste is also pretty much identical to the grape ones from last time. I am almost certain the last ones were made by Muscat as well. As with the last grape gummies, I give these an 8/10 and my friend gives them... nowt. She's not here. I'll save some for her.

    Kanro made these. The packaging says the orange ones are orange soda-flavoured, the blue ones are soda-flavoured and the reddish-brown ones are cola-flavoured, so as you can imagine, they're quite fizzy... not that I mind. They're not the kind of fizzy that makes your face scrunch up and your drool hang off your chin *cough cough* Toxic Waste *cough cough cough*. The orange ones are my favourite. Anyways, these are amazing. Exactly what they say they are, and absolutely delicious. 9/10.

    Good ol' Meiji! I don't even think it's possible to go looking for Japanese confectionery without coming across Meiji at least once. As is evident from the packaging, it's some chocolate pocky. Quite basic, but more often than not, the simplest methods are the most effective. This is no exception! Never before have I seen such thick pocky. There's just so... much... chocolate... ahem. Also, I like how it comes in three separate little pouches of three sticks so you don't feel tempted to eat them all at once well, I do, but shh. Anyways, it's another 9/10 from me!

     

    I was very pleased with this fortnight's shipment! Hopefully, the next doesn't disappoint. :)

     

    P.S. I'm supposed to wear glasses but I wasn't while typing this, so forgive me for any typos.

     


  7. Don't get your garters in a tangle over this, it's just a meme I made in less than twenty minutes. I say this because there are some people who get super pissed when anyone even so much as suggests that a Tanuki rumour is fake. Seriously, look at the language used by the moderators of some of the translation blogs... "fuck you" this, "your opinion doesn't matter" that -_-

    And on that note, I'm going to bed


  8. A couple years ago, I confessed to someone whom I was deeply in love with, but he rejected me and I still haven't been able to forget about him. I have these off days when I just sit and think about what could have been, why it wasn't, etc. I've had two boyfriends since then, but neither relationship lasted for very long (at all) because they just weren't my type and I ended up feeling uncomfortable and unhappy, so I ended both relationships on good terms. Anyways, I've heard these things saying the difference between loving someone and being in love with them, and they basically said that loving someone is when you want to see them grow/develop, when you want to be there for them, etc, and that being in love with someone is when you're more infatuated with them/get butterflies around them (that's not to say you can't care about them, though). The thing is, I love several people, but I don't want to be with them, because I tend to see those people as more familial kinds of love (even though they're not actually in my family), whereas I've only ever been in love once, and that was with the guy from a couple years back. As I mentioned before, being in love with someone is not to say that you don't actually care about them, because you can have those feelings of infatuation and not take it to unhealthy levels. I feel like nothing will ever make me as happy as I was back then, even if nothing came of it, so is it really that bad if I just want to be in love with someone? As long as I'm honest with them about what I want and how I feel, is it really that bad? People might say "it won't last", but there is the possibility that it could, and even if it doesn't, is there anything really wrong with that? Also, I'm not sure if this is TMI, but there is also the case of me being really frustrated in terms of... well, you know. Begins with an "s" and rhymes with "rex". I've never actually done it, or even kissed someone, and again, I have these off days when I just sit and think about how much I want to "alleviate" my frustration with someone. I'm not sure if it ties into my other off days. Basically, I'm not sure if I want to be in love or if I just want to... you know. Either way, I know that with the guy from before, I didn't just want the latter. I really did care about him, and I'm not sure if I'll ever feel that way again. I remember going to a convention in November, and I felt so, so happy when I was there. I knew I could just be myself there, and I felt really comfortable and at home. Seeing one of the people I love in a familial sort of way there helped too. Of course, that only meant I felt like crap the next day because I realised that I never actually feel like that in my day-to-day life, as I'm sure most other people do. I'm not surrounded by people I feel like I can be my true self around, and that hurt. I hadn't felt that way since I was in love. I'm not depressed or anything, but I am upset. I don't even know why I care so much about this, but I do, and it feels like there's not a damn thing I can do about it.

    Sorry this was so venty. What do you guys think?

    I can deal with the first word, but not the second. I have never cringed so hard saying a single word before in my life.
