My birthday, Itazura na Kiss, and LOLITA!!

WOW, it's been a long time since I posted on here XD I guess I have a lot to tell everyone ^-^"" Well, it's finally arrived: in a little more than a week, I will officially be an adult 0_0" It doesn't even seem possible XD Well, that's how it is, though XD My birthday's Friday the fifth of October, and this year I'll finally be eighteen! I'm so happy to be able to vote, and to be an adult ^-^
The second thing: Itazura na Kiss! 
Itazura na Kiss is an anime about a girl (Aihara Kotoko (said, as always on here, family name first, given name second)) who's... well, to put it bluntly, rather stupid. She's fallen for Irie Naoki, the cool, smart, hot guy in her year at school, who also happens to be good at sports. But when she confesses, she gets turned down immediately! He didn't even accept her love letter, which she'd put lots of effort into writing and making the script beautiful, and making sure there were no grammatical or spelling mistakes (everyone should follow her example: MAKE SURE NOT TO HAVE SPELLING OR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN WHAT YOU WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO READ!! XD). But when her friends come over for a pity party (they don't call it that, but that's basically what it is), there's an earthquake and her's and her dad's new house falls down! Well, who better to call in a situation like this than an old friend? So, her dad arranges for them to move in with his childhood friend, Iri-chan. Iri-chan happens to have a wife, and two sons - ONE OF WHOM IS IRIE-KUN!!! Now that Kotoko-chan and Irie-kun are living under the same roof, will she have a second chance? Well, you'd have to watch the anime to find out, wouldn't you ^-^ And trust me, it's not an anime you'd want to miss. In the beginning, it's completely shoujo anime - complete with a stupid high school girl falling for the smart, slightly mean, cool high school guy. But there are a lot of things in the anime - PARTICULARLY later in the anime - which are definitely not just for little girls. At times, the anime seemed a little pointless, but later on you realize that all the creators were really trying to do was to wrap everything up so that everyone had some kind of happy ending. In fact, the ending was so sweet that I couldn't help squee-ing horribly all through the epilogue montage XD Luckily, no one was around to hear me (it was after one AM) XD So, who would I recommend this anime to? Well, as usual, EVERYONE, but especially people who enjoy both shoujo and josei. Yes, those are both meant for women, but that doesn't mean that only women would like this anime. There are many elements which I'm sure could appeal to both male and female audiences ^-^ So, Itazura na Kiss gets a HUGE thumbs up, about 4.5 stars (it did seem like it shouldn't have continued in some places, after all), and ninety percent (which is the same as 4.5 stars... XD). All in all, a success of an anime ^-^
Lolita!!
Finally, on to the last topic!! XD Lolita clothing (specifically, MY lolita clothing XD). Well, remember those bloomers I mentioned at the beginning of summer? Yeah, those still aren't done XD And unless someone else finishes them, they probably won't get finished for a long time. I had meant to do a lot more sewing, and learning how to sew, over the summer, but one thing led to another, and suddenly it was the school year again, and I was in crunch time for auditions and colleges XD So, those won't be finished... probably ever XD However, I have found a wonderful, PERFECT seamstress. She's a girl in my school, in the same year as me. She's already made herself a few steam-punk outfits, and when I told her I was trying to learn to sew to make Lolita things for myself since buying them is so expensive, she offered to make me a dress. All I have to do is buy the fabric for her, and show her a picture of what I want (I can sort of design stuff, but I'll probably just find some dress I want her to copy XD). So, you may be getting a picture of me in a wonderful Lolita dress soon-ish ^-^
Well, that's everything ^-^ I hope anyone/everyone who's actually sticking around for this every-once-in-a-while blog sticks around for the next time I get inspired enough by an anime or fanfic or by lolita clothes to write XD
