Sooooo this blog is a bust

Filling out a self love diary, is not my cup of tea....if I drank tea instead coffee. I have been beyond insane lately, a hundred memories have gone by that I have not written about. I was in Big Bear for a while, with one of the greatest girls I have ever had the pleasure to know. I've lost and gained friends, I've realized that I seriously have many guy friends. And of course the holiday madness.
But mostly I have learned how extremely socially awkward I am.
I really really am!
Even the boy I am in love with was posted as awkward, which is in fact, fantastic.
I do not completely care about this because I am usually in situations in which I don't need to be social. My two best friends allow me to hide from the world without repercussion or needing to get out. I love them. I love them beyond any doubt, seriously without them I am not positive I could have lived this year.
And that is a hard thing to admit, extremely.
It's amazing, truly that I can admit that I think about self destruction and homicide at least once a day. I am recently learning that this isn't normal. I had this misguided vision that it was and that people just pretended to be happy about things. But I was misguided, some people ARE truly happy and I am the one who pretends that they aren't.
And whether those people are happy putting others down or only caring about themselves or being pretentious prissy assholes, they are still happy. Who am I to judge them? If I don't want to be judged then I shouldn't hate on anyone else's happy, no matter how they find it.
But I am getting off subject, my happiness is slowly coming, and strangely I've been feeling (mainly due to holiday trauma) that I am back in high school. Where I am dealing with my emotions, with ideas floating about life and who I should be, it's all there except without the shitty buildings and boring classes. Oh and the forceful lime lights at time.
"high school counts for jack shit" (Tate, swoons) and that's the truth, but that weird hierarchy that all the school specials complain about, is real and when you leave school it goes from a hierarchy to these weird overlapping ven-diagram groups in which a few stragglers like to dip their toes in other circles and let everyone assume that they are well rounded... they aren't, not really. They are just people with hobbies and interests.
And those circles have smaller circles in them that have the same effect. Do not listen to what people tell you, those circles matter, and you have to remember them in order to survive. Individually they don't count, they are just an afterthought, but in the big picture when your going to clubs or work or social activities, they do. Remember this: peoples interests and their hobbies, minor things that you remember about the circles that they are in, will make them happier than shit.
I've learned this through, well, through testing but in a bigger part through people doing it to me. I love when people remember things that I've told them about myself. My happiness has been stemming from the people closest to me remembering me, as well as my own realization that they have always remembered me, and that is part of the reason I love them so much.
They remember me, and sometimes that's all I've ever needed.

What I've been up to

Mostly I've been making cameos, I originally started to simply make them for myself, because I wanted cool Bela Lugosi ones and the lady that used to sell them on Etsy.... Well I can't seem to find her any more. So I started to make them for myself, but them people saw them and said hey! You should sell those! Which I thought was a great idea because I had ideas for ones that I probably wouldn't wear but I'm sure someone else might. (Like Batman villains, or My Little Pony ones). Here are the first set that I made for myself (the next set are much more colorful)

I'm really excited for, what I'm calling; my collections, the Metal Mania ones are the hardest so far, picking bands that I think would sell, and trying to get the album covers people will recognize. But because I am a self deemed metal head, I refuse to do bands that people say they like but don't. Like the Ramones or Kiss or something like that. (I mean seriously, how many people knew love gun was a kiss song before that guy on Role Models said something?) Unless, I get asked to make those, I probably won't. Call me biased I frank don't care, I am, it's whatever. If you want me to make you a cameo with something I don't like I will, for you, but I won't mass produce them. Cause that is just perpetuating the stereotype that you actually know what your wearing, but you don't and that isn't fair to those of us (like myself) who do know and care about stuff like that. Let Walmart sell you a Misfits shirt even though you've never heard of horror punk or Danzig, but I will not mass produce that. Like I said if you want one and you ask me I'll make one for you, no extra cost and I'm not going to quiz you or anything (because obviously you asking means you or someone around you likes that band or character or the art work or something, so I'm cool with that) but don't try to tell me to make more for others, if those people want them they can ask too. It's no big deal. If they don't ask then they really didn't want it, did they?

But anyway, my upcoming trends will be a mix of horror movies and kid shows and music. I'll post links on all my sites when I'm ready to sell them :)

Slump days

So I've been spending a lot of time just chilling on the couch and going out to clubs with friends. It's been really nice and I'm taking my time lounging around because I've been in a bit of slump lately.

 Mostly I've been listening to random demo songs from metal bands, and reading these magazines. They are actually from the UK, because Americans don't seem to really be into extreme metal like black and death.

 I stole this chair from my dad and placed it in my room so that I can read in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. It's worked out great, not to mention it's pretty comfy.

Otherwise, I've just been being fatt on my laptop and Gameboy. Looking up Pokemon strategies and whatnot. Lmao.

Love and kisses,

DIY how to turn a metal band shirt into a fitted dress

So I was trying to explain to a friend how I have been recreating my t shirts and then I went to youtube to find a tutorial that showed everything I'd done but I couldn't find one that I liked. So I decided to make my own. Now without further ado I am going to show you how to turn a cool band shirt into a sexy metal vixen mini dress.


1. Start with any shirt that is at least two sizes bigger than your normal size. (a men type of shirt is preferable, it works better in my opinion.)

2. Turn your shirt inside out and put it on yourself.( A lot of people want you the cut the sides here, but don't do it, because it is much easier to just mark it without cutting it.)

3. Pinch the sides of your shirt until you can feel your body, then mark the sides (I do it with a piece of chalk but a marker or safety pins or something works just as well, you need to see the lines though, so marking is crucial)It is a good idea to make the markings near your chest because that tends to be the biggest part of you.

4. Now that you have marked the sides, draw a straight line down the sides to the end of your shirt like so.

 5. Stitch up the shirt along the line you just made, I like to do it with a sowing machine because it's faster, but if you don't know how to use a sowing machine you can hand stitch it.(BTW, you need to stitch up to the sleeve seam line that is naturally on the shirt, so go from the sleeve seam to the bottom of the shirt)

 6. Put your shirt back on after you've sown it, to see if you like that fit and to see if the stitching will pop or not.(I suggest trying it on inside out and then normal side out a few times to test it.)

 7. If you like the fit, then take off your shirt and cut away the access fabric off the sides. (In the picture the access would be on the right of the stitch line, the left of the line is your dress DO NOT CUT THAT, you will ruin your shirt)

 8. Now you can cut the sleeves and neck line of your shirt.(some people cut the bottom as well and that is up to you but I think the fraying gets annoying)

 9. Flip your shirt back out to show the logo. The end product should look like a regular tank dress. Then wear and party!

I hope this was a fun little project. :)


Love and stitches,

Why My Little Pony Friendship is AWESOME

I know.... I know! You already know that this show is the greatest one ON EARTH. But I'm going to tell you what my friends have come up with, it's actually ridiculously rad.

As with all cartoons, there are quite a few adult themes within the show. The ponies of course battle issues of friendship but other problems also include forms of racism and class separation. A picnic brought out a comparison of Equestria (the empire in which the ponies all thrive) to that of Plato's Republic. There are classes, earth ponies are the ones like Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack, ones that have no unicorn horn or wings are the bronze class. They often do low level jobs, Apple Jack runs an apple farm and Pinkie Pie is a baker and often throws parties for people. Then there are the Pegasus ponies which are the ones with the wings, like Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash is a racer above anything else but the other winged ponies that you see through out the show are often the silver class, that is that they are warrior types or officers more often than not. And then the gold class are the unicorns, and not just because horns are randomly more special than wings but because the unicorns have magic!

 The gold class for Plato did the high end brainy jobs with included politics and knowledgeable arts. Rarity and Twilight Sparkle are often using their magic to help them do things. Rarity is a fashion designer and Twilight Sparkle is a historian of sorts, at the end of every show she sends a letter to Princess Celestia about the day and what she has learned about friendship for that episode. Oh and Princess Celestia and her sister Luna Moon are not only unicorns but they also have wings, and they are drawn different to show their superiority to the rest of Ponyville (the town in which our favorite ponies live). So beyond the awesome power of friendship the show often preaches about finding you place in the world, I mean take a look at the Cutey Mark Crusaders, who every time they appear are trying to find their special talent in hopes that the marks that are on their flanks will appear (Because you only get that awesome picture on your leg when you discover your place in the world). But in between finding your special talent you also seems to have to understand your place in society. Which is a real down to earth Platonic ideal, that everyone learns their place and stays there for the good of society.

After you see the philosophical ideals and the class variation in Ponyville, you'll notice as the ponies travel and other ponies from Equestria visit Ponyville, that some ponies have problems with other four legged creatures. For the ponies all other animals seem to either be subservient (even dragons! Twilight Sparkle's assistant is Spike the dragon.) or they aren't equal in some other manner. As in when the group was transferring an apple tree to the apple orchard out west, they learned that the settlers there had taken the buffalo's sacred running grounds. It is felt that had the buffalo been ponies this wouldn't have happened but because they were a different type of four legged creature some thing that they considered sacred was cast aside as unimportant and was taken in order to serve the ponies. Also, when a Zebra comes to Ponyville Pinkie Pie has a hell of a time of accepting her. Which shows a strong color of racism within the pony world. Even though, a zebra is mostly a horse with stripes. 

The adult themes in the show are beyond the brightly colored ponies on the screen. They transcend the human ideal to show that these problems arise within every society. In a cute awesome, way the ponies show us not only how friendship overcomes all things but more importantly how tolerance and compromise can help every situation. Besides, they are BRIGHT COLORFUL PONIES and they are awesome.

So now that you see why ponies are awesome...

Love and hoof bumps,
