Me and my Music

   I've always loved music. But, y'know, who doesn't? I like the silence in my life being filled. I love rain on my roof while listening to Metric songs in acoustic. Sad songs calm me so much, and make me feel floaty and calm whether I'm angry, happy, sad, whatever. Angry songs like Paramore got me in a certain mood, then got me out of being angry. I consider this kind of music an outlet. Certain bands give me a nostalgic feel, especially Metric and Badly Drawn Boy. Along with those two, The Decemberists enchant me with their calming yet disturbing songs.
   Once I got into J-pop, I forgot about my favorite music. I let the anime and vocaloids swallow me whole and take away my other pleasures. For that year, I started longing for something. I kept thinking back on 'the good old days' where I spent less time on my dad's laptop, which I used 24-7 then. The J-pop was also a part of this longing. I longed for before I let my fascination destroy my interests. I somehow, unconsciously, told myself, "This is it. This is your new music. You can't listen to that anymore." But although I still like J-pop, I don't let it get all over me like that anymore.
   I begin to wonder if I'm the only one who this has happened too. Now I love listening to all my favorites, and I no longer judge based on a song's language. That helped me a lot. Now I no longer feel the longing for nostalgia. Why? I have, through many ways- music being just one of them- became my past. Not in a scary way, but I've taken my past loves and joys and mixed them with my modern ones. I spend less time on my electronics and more time filling sketchbooks. I make bad mix CDs and crush on boys who obviously like me. I've written my own handbook, and I don't need anyone to rewrite it for me.

Looking for a Seifuku

   As you can probably tell by the subtitle, this is a boring fashion blog. Therefore it's a good idea to start fashion blogging! (Just so you know, this may evolve into other life skills, too, but for now it's fashion only.)
   Well, the point is, seifuku have been popular on tumblr lately, and I really want one. If you don't know, a seifuku (pronounced say-foo-koo) is a japanese school uniform. I'd been looking around for one for ages almost, and then I remembered that bodyline makes school uniform fashion stuff as well as their other things. So I went on bodyline, and looked in the uniform section. However, I could not find the sailor suit type seifuku that I'd been looking for. I did, however, discover one very nice seifuku that was sailor suit style, but it didn't exactly look like what I wanted.
This one, that is next to the block of text. You can see that it is pretty nice quality, and still has the same type of collar, but it's plaid and therefore not as recognizable as the sailor seifuku.
Then I looked at the cosplay section, and found these:

   I'm thinking of ordering the plaid one in red, and the one Venus is modeling (last one) in navy... Or "nav" as bodyline is calling it. If I do, I will be sure to post a review! ;)
