getting into the christmas spirit

one day late. i don't care.

It begins with stealing the tinsel off of the trees at my school.

While I was cleaning, I found these horrendous doodles from December last year. 

what the first one says:

"Hey Sophie, we should get into the Christmas spirit."

"We should grow antlers."

what the second one is titled:

Sophie's Christmas Dream

a Yule greeting card for Audrey. we were researching winter solstice holidays and somehow Yule became our theme for this year. 

This was my family's Christmas card this year. I know the quality is awful, but it features my unicorn-bulldog, me in cat ears holding up a clock with cats on it, my brother and a ceramic pikachu, and my father giving a disapproving look. The text reads "happy winter celebrations," "we hope you survive the mayan apocalypse," "dad, kid,the the other kid and the damn dog." 

I.. I come from a strange family.

it's the end of the world as we know it

 ...and THIS guy is prepared ^

He even gave me tips on the best places to go during a zombie apocalypse. We settled on the Midwest being the most advantageous place to be:

• extreme winters and summers (zombies can't deal with extremes)
• low population 
• agrarian towns
• lots of open space  
• abundance of Walmarts 

I wore my sparkle crown to school because sometimes I am a sparkle princess with sparkle powers.
It's doubles as my end-of-the-world tiara.

Two of my friends got married not really today (the groom took my sparkle crown). More details on this later.

Twice people spilled my cup of generic salty snack mix today.
My response?

"It's okay, it's not the end of the world."

I know, it's crude. But classes were short today and I did this during graphics.

leg casing accessory things (a review on some tights i recently purchased)

I own and wear a lot of skirts and dresses and because I'm too lazy to shave with that comes owning a lot of tights. Every single pair of tights I own is ripped in some way or another, so I bought three new pairs at Daiso. 

The thing about these Daiso tights (Daiso is a Japanese 100 yen store; in America it's a $1.50 store) is that they run extremely small. The regular black tights were a L-XL size and they were sagging on me. I  had to wear shorts over them because I felt like an [extremely feminine] gangsta whenever I walked. The first day I wore them out my dog jumped on me, thus causing that lovely gash on the right leg.

The second pair are fishnets, but it's hard to tell in the photo. I didn't realize how subtle the fishnet pattern was, but that makes me feel more comfortable about wearing them out. Although they were only a dollar fifty, they're very thick and well made. 

Here's a close up: 

This last pair are leggings, and as you can see, I can't do leggings. Or patterned tights. The picture makes them look a lot less bad than they look on me in real life. 

They're always so pretty in the package but on my legs they make me look like a lizard monster. I think it's time for me to give up my dream of being able to wear tights with patterns. 

and uh.. that has been my opinion on cheap wearable leg accessories.

I'd also like to mention the best app ever created.
It's called Cat Effects.
just look. 

"watchu want"

Hello, there~
I'm in the mood to blog tonight which is really strange for me because I'd usually rather take a nap or eat sesame sticks than publish my life to the internet.

So Christmas/other winter celebrations and my birthday (the day before Christmas) are coming up, and a lot of people have been asking me
"watchu want"
"watchu like"
and I never have an answer for them.

so I was inspired to draw this:

It's not true, of course.
Well I don't think it's true. But you could argue the opposite. It's been done.
but really i like tons of things

Something I noticed today is that all (or the two that I have access to) foreign language textbooks have really odd pictures in the chapters about visiting the doctor.
Here's one from my friend's Spanish textbook.

it kind of just..irks you, right?

And this guy was in my French textbook.

super-cute

In preparation for the holiday season, Audrey (because she is LITERALLY MY ONLY FRIEND and the ONLY PERSON WORTHY OF BEING MENTIONED IN EVERY SINGLE BLOG POST OF MINE /sarcasm) and I went to a hippie center to make ornaments out of old magazines.
The ornaments turned out to just be a really bad mess, so we had fun with the magazine pictures instead.

Here's me being super seductive.

Speaking of being attractive, I think this photo will nicely wrap up this post:

my loyal subject kavya

Have a wonderful day (:
