PRETTY HATS

one of my favourite things about thursday & crafty deafcat was that zara gave me one of her beautiful fascinators! "think of it as a late birthday present!" she said. (my birthday was exactly 5 months ago on thursday..) what a lovely lady. i simply adore her hats. she said when she feels sad she likes to try them all on and walk around the house being all fancy.

i also tried on my 2nd favourite fascinator of hers, the love birds. i want to get married in it. fortunately she said she can make me another one if it sells before that happens. i think it will. how could it not, it's gorgeous! (excuse my face & hair)



my absolute favourite fascinator of hers though is the marie celeste ship hat! to my infinite sadness though, someone's bought it off her etsy. but again, she said she's gonna make more, different ship hats in the future. happy happy. maybe eventually i'll either come up with a worthy idea for a photograph, or even the cash to buy one <3

CRAFTY DEAF CAT

thursday night i attended CRAFTY DEAF CAT, a little craft fair my friends sara & zara had organized. vampire sushi had a little stall too, and we did well. i did take a picture of my stall / chair but it was all blurry and horrid so no picture of that. & my secret crafty project..

apparently there is going to be another one on 16th DECEMBER. anyone who's not too far away & can make it, mark that in your calendar!

SOUTHAMPTON CRAFT & ZINE FAIR

last saturday me and carl got up stupid early and got on a train to southampton via london town to table at southampton zine fest. which went alright. we were both just very very tired. i've been putting off posting the photos because i wanted to say something but.. it's all gone. but it was nice to get out of medway, hooray!

the only picture of our table. it was a bit of a hideous mess, so i didn't really bother..



steve of rumlad zine wearing the headband i made on the train. he had a table with isy morgenmuffel & hannah southcoast right next to us.



somehow i didn't manage to take any other pictures until clearing out time.. lots of people were still tabling on sunday so they just left their tables as they were, ready for the morning.

CRAFTY DEAF CAT

tomorrow night is the night of the first ever CRAFTY DEAF CAT, a little craft fair at the deaf cat coffee bar (Penfold House, 10 High Street, Rochester, Kent ME1 1PT) from 6pm til 8pm. VAMPIRE SUSHI DISTRO will be there (well, really is just me with the zines & some of my crafty bits and bobs..) as well as few of my friends with their fancy crafty things! there will be coffee, cake and fairylights too. i'm rather looking forward to it. a little nervous though, i'm going to leave certain issues of your pretty face at home.. i should go and knit & embroider like mad, right now! get the fuck off internet. i just need to put some more harry potter on the ipod (and maybe sneak in some miley cyrus..) and i'll retire to knit in bed. also, must get distro orders ready. i've been very naughty with them..

F L O R I D A

this is where carl drinks his tea from starting today. mmh, crunk juice.

NEW HAIR

i bought winifred a newold wig from a nice lady on thisisblythe forum. it arrived in the post the other day. it was a good post day, i think i got two packages of zines too! i think the fringe might need a bit of a tidy up but i reckon it was a bargain at £3.50 + postage!

ps. i've been listening to miley cyrus all night & loving it <3 i'm quite gutted i forgot to watch hannah montana in 3D on sunday afternoon, but i guess it's ok since the goddamn 3D glasses don't work for me anyway, just give me a headache.

FOUR EYES.

me and carl went to southampton on saturday for the southampton craft & zine fest, which i will post about later. down the street from the art cafe the fest was in there was a shop called beatnik emporium which was a half vintage shop and half fancy dress shop. i found the kind of cat eye glasses i'd been looking for for ages. £3.95, a fucking bargain. i just need to get some lenses in them. the lady at specsavers told me last time i went to get my glasses tightened (i keep knocking into things..) that i need new ones, the old ones are getting a bit brittle after two & a half years of constant abuse. my goal is to do it before february and all the zine fests. save up for some eye care.

i should really get off the internet and do some crafty things for thursday. knit some bows to go on headbands & embroider some still secret projects.

FINNISH HARRY POTTER COVERS

i personally think they're the best ones. at least i like them better than the UK ones. possibly because they are hilarious. harry's got quite an epic quiff and all! i think dolores umbridge, or pimento as she's translated, is particularly spectatular on the cover for order of the phoenix. i've decided i want to own all the books in both english and finnish. (i think i've got all but first two in english..) must ask mummy to keep an eye out for cheap copies for me.. it's hardly likely i'll find any in charity shops round medway. i wish.

PS, by the way this is my copy of harry potter and the half-blood prince:

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

i'm drinking blueberry and pomegranate juice from my new-old ravenclaw glass. carl has the slytherin one.

that's all i have to say.

FIVE YEARS

tonight is the fifth anniversary of our first kiss. it's been a good five years ♥ i just made a mix of songs that remind me of carl & stuff.

anyone else but you the moldy peaches
our secret beat happening
adolescent song of mindless devotion the lucksmiths
give him a great big kiss the shangri-las
baby i love you the ronettes
i wanna be your boyfriend the ramones
new rose the damned
good weekend art brut
panorama surferosa
(angry kids of the world) unite tiger tunes
your love is mine holly golightly
love is like a bottle of gin the magnetic fields
love on the dole the libertines
centrumi tv-resistori
anyone else but you michael cera and ellen page

i uploaded it on 8tracks.com but for some reason it doesn't work.


"you're a part time lover and a full time friend
the monkey on you're back is the latest trend
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

i kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
i kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

here is the church and here is the steeple
we sure are cute for two ugly people
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

the pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
so why can't, you forgive me?
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

i will find my nitch in your car
with my mp3 dvd rumple-packed guitar
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

du du du du du du dudu
du du du du du du dudu
du du du du du du dudu du

up up down down left right left right b a start
just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

you are always trying to keep it real
i'm in love with how you feel
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

we both have shiny happy fits of rage
you want more fans, i want more stage
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

don quixote was a steel driving man
my name is adam i'm your biggest fan
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

squinched up your face and did a dance
you shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
i don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
but you

du du du du du du dudu
du du du du du du dudu
du du du du du du dudu du
but you"

"anyone else but you" by moldy peaches

for some reason, that pretty much sums it up for me.
