New week, new rules

I think.

More like new month, new rules...but you get it. It is a Monday, after all.

Since I haven't posted as often as I used to in the past few weeks, I've decided to do something...pretty easy. Sure, this blog is meant to be about my steps to get out of the babybat phase and whatnot (even though, in my personal opinion, I'm pretty much out of it...?), but there's just nothing I can do about that right now. I'm literally stuck working on my education right now. No compromises, whatsoever. Just...no.


SO I'm going to start at least once or twice or however-often-I-can-spare-it-a-week entries of my observations and whatever else comes to mind...which...is pretty much what I was doing before, isn't it...? Whatever. After all, I've had some pretty weird things happen to me and seen some strange things in the past weeks...

For instance, I have literally seen at least one unnatural redhead/female with red dye in her hair a day. I say "female" because the age range varies. What is with all the red?? Is it a new fashion statement...?? I started noticing this about two weeks ago...

And you won't believe what happened last week with all of these....! Okay. So I literally (hmm, I seem to be using that word a lot today...) wear the same thing every other day of the week. Same clothes. Same pants, amiss the fact that I have four pairs...So I don't know why I'm suddenly attracting the attention of all of these men...and older ones at that!! Last week, maybe Wednesday or Tuesday, was the worst. I was just around the corner from my house, coming back from school, when a guy in a van pulls up and waves at me. I don't think anything of it...random friendly person is random. So whatever. Halfheartedly waved back. Was that a bad move? The damn jerk had the nerve to come BACK AROUND the block just to pull up and ask me if I needed a ride. Now I know this was a bad move: I said no...and asked why. That...I don't even. I wasn't thinking, I really wasn't. But I was morbidly (dangerously...) curious. And he said he asked because I was cute.

I damn ran 'way. Heard the nut say "Sorry" as I skedaddled. Pfft, my ass, he was sorry.

And then a day or so after that, I was called "pretty lady" or someshat by some random passer-by as I was walking from or to school...and to make it worse, there's this guy who is apparently related to my upstairs or downstairs neighbors and he's been "Mmm~"-ing at me lately if he's around when I come home. WHAT THE HELL?

Needless to say, I now walk with mace on my keychain.

'Course, if I had it my way, I'd be walking around with that and a baton. I have to get me one...whenever that'll be...

Today, a rather...interesting encounter (quote-on-quote) with an older man happened today. I missed my bus from school, so I was...the only one waiting for one. This older Caucasian man I've never seen before comes over and asks if the bus came by. I said we missed it. After a moment or two, he suddenly, out of the blue, tells me

"Why, you look like you're dressed for Halloween!"

...With a smile on his face. And pointy teeth. Hmm. They looked natural. Miss Halloween wasn't in a good mood. Otherwise, Miss Halloween would have said something wonderfully snarky. Instead, Miss Halloween glances at him and ignores him. But inside, Miss Halloween was doing the boogie. He complimented me! HE REALLY DID~!! At least, I take that as a compliment. At least for now. After hearing it a few hundred times, it may become tedious and annoying...but I'll savor it for now~!!

...Though I don't understand why anyone would say that. One day I'll show you the outfit I'm wearing...

*Ahem* My brother calls me an aircraft missile launcher. In other words, I really don't like compliments. That doesn't mean I don't...hm, like them from time to time. I'd just rather not hear them. Weird, I know...

Ah, well. I'm actually at the local masjid (the place where Muslims pray and congregate, etc). Usin' the Wi-Fi since power is out at home.Yep. That is another reason why I've been so quiet...

I plan to make another picture-heavy post showing more brands I like...and hope to have in my inventory one day...but that probably won't happen anytime soon. Who knows.

In the past weeks, I've been listening to Paralysed Age and Clan of Xymox. Oooh~ I LOVE Xymox!! Definitely one of my favorite bands. But in the past half a year, I've been obsessing over Insane Clown Posse and Turmion Kätilöt. Do not get me started on these two bands. *Shakes head*...OBSESSED. OBSESSED I TELL YOU!!

...But BUCK-TICK rules all...
