Wow, I really didn't mean to be gone that long! I guess Christmas kind of took over everything and I completely forgot about this blog. My bad, I'm sorry!
This is only going to be a short entry as I have loads to do today, but I will start posting again properly soon. I promise! I will have some bjd (Ball Jointed Doll) stuff to talk about! ^^

Christmas Market!
So, today I went to the Christmas Market in Bury St Edmunds. This is the first time I have actually been completely happy with a Lolita outfit I've put together, so I would be interested to know what you all think!

Hello again, Mr Rickman...
So, I have finally watched all of the Harry Potter films and have nearly finished the first book and will soon be onto the second one. Why did I leave it so long, you may ask? Well, if I am honest when the booked first came out, I wasn't too bothered as it was a children's book, but when people said I should give it a go... well, I just didn't like her writing. (Sorry to JK. Rowling and her fans). And so I put it away and didn't give it a second thought.
Then of course came the films. Now, Alan Rickman is my favourite actor. I have always thought he is the best thing since sliced bread, and I still do. (I was the weird teenager who instead of having posters of boybands on her wall, had pictures of Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, Luc Besson, and Bill Nighy) So why did I not go see the films at the cinema? I guess I was worried that I would really hate Alan Rickman's (and then when he finally came along, Gary Oldman's) character, or that the films would be awful and I'd be really disappointed.
And then came the Fans.
I have come across some scary fan-girls in my time... but Jesus Christ. Now, I am not saying that all HP fan-girls are batshit insane, but from what I have seen a lot of them are. The only scarier ones are Twilight fans, but I digress.
It was the horrifying fan-fiction/art and down right obsessiveness that scared me away from this series. And I know what you're thinking, if it was so bad I didn't have to look, I could have just ignored it. And yes, I did to the best of my ability, but with the internet being the weird beast it is, these things do pounce on you from time to time, and I will admit, sometimes I am far too curious for my own good.
But, after some coaxing from my friends, I finally watched all the films and I must say I really enjoyed them. A part of me is a little disappointed that I didn't go to see them at the cinema (apart from Deathly Hallows Part 1, which was rather spectacular on the big screen) but it was rather fun to be wrapped up in blankets on the couch with my housemate and making silly jokes/shouting things at the screen.
And of course, Alan Rickman.
Oh dear lord that man! Well done, Harry Potter, I fear you have gained yourself yet another Snape fan-girl. I sort of (ish) understand why the fans are so... out there for this series. It really drags you in and makes you care for the characters, which I was rather impressed with. It was a given from the start that I would be giving Mr Rickman my full attention whenever he was on screen, but I wasn't expecting to be quite so enthralled. I could listen to that voice all damn day and even the way he moves is fascinating. I do love a good dark, mysterious, complicated character.
So there you have it. The Potter Bug finally got me. Be it a little late, but still. I am very much looking forward to Part 2 in July, despite Part 1 making me cry like a big jessie!

Loli Ramble
I must admit, I am not very good at keeping journals, as I find I have a lot to say but when it comes to putting these thoughts down on paper I have great difficulty. Honestly, I am not sure why this is as I can write a piece of fiction with ease, but my own personal thoughts? Nope, sorry, not happening.
So apologies to those of you who may find this annoying, but most of my entries will be written in a rambly round about way in which one hopes I will get to the point, but I very rarely do.
What has been on my mind today? Well, I guess it's something that a lot of young women think about. My weight. Currently I weigh just under 10 stone and I am still unhappy. I remember back when I was a teenager I never really moved over 8 stone and hovered between 6 and 8 up until I was 20. Now I am nearly 26 I find that I keep bouncing between a size 10 and 12 and hovering around 10 stone. I have only just after a year of hard slog managed to get down to 9 stone, but then the weight just starts piling on again.
The worst of it, is that I am rather short (5ft 4ins) so I look even bigger than I actually am most of the time, which just upsets me further. Adding the fact that I love Lolita fashion and all those frills look to add even MORE weight, I am at a loss.

Oh Hai Christmas!
So, tomorrow I will be in Bury St Edmunds for the Christmas Market and I can't wait! I will be wearing my spangly new Carousel Dress (Bodyline) and the most beautiful little carousel earrings you ever did see bought for me by my wonderful housemates. I am such a lucky little loli! <3
I hope to have lots of photos taken, so fingers crossed I'll have something pretty to add to this rather sparse looking journal at the weekend!

A Fresh Start
My old blog got so bogged down with stuff that I really didn't want to associate with anymore, so I have started fresh. I am looking forward to joining communities and chatting to people that I want to, instead of doing what was expected of me.
I like pretty Lolita dresses, big burly Saiyan men from Dragon Ball Z, writing fan-fiction, listening to J-Pop and eating steak. There we go, that's pretty much me in a tiny nut-shell. Of course there is far far more to me, but I am sure those of you who wish to read my blog will find that out as my little piece of the universe progresses.
Take Care!
