I THINK THIS HOLIDAY BURNING THING IS TURNING INTO A HABIT.
At least i got something done today. Done by my standards anyway.
Cleaned my house
( for lack of anything better to do, and because i wanted to do a room tour post, but my room is constantly messy.) after waking up at 3. 10 solid hours of sleep. OHYEAH THAT'S RIGHT. 10 HOURS. Probably my body's not-so-subtle way of informing me that i'm not sleeping enough for a teen. WELL, SORRY, WAS WATCHING DRAMA.
In the first place, sleep is overrated. Why sleep when there's the (limited) internet?!
Shit i have no life.
ANYWAY. I managed to deco my ugly ass usb stick today. It's an old Sandisc 8 gig cruzer micro, and there are much cuter ones on the market, but this has been with me for so long i couldn't bear to throw it away/stop using it. Not to mention it's unbelievably reliable, even while my laptop was being a raving bitch a couple of months back. SHUT UP. I'M SENTIMENTAL. So, it started looking gross last year when i lost the protective cover for the body and the plastic cover started yellowing. YEAH, IT'S THAT OLD. Then i prettied it up a little.
The centrepiece i like to start all my deco projects with.
The end product.
I think there's something off with my camera's colour balance. The crystals are a lot more bling IRL. SWAROVSKI NEVER FAILS TO DISSAPPOINT. I'd reccommend Swarovski crystals to any decoden artist, they're so much better than cheap plastic flatbacks.
MORE SHINY DECODEN STUFF WOO WOO WOO. *ROLL* It's very cathartic. Better than beating up some hapless chap on some street corner. Imagine the crime rates if everyone thought decoden was cathartic.
BFF steals your boyfriend? Bling the gun/knife and forget about killing them both in the process
Boss fires you? Bling your laptop and try not to smash it on his/her head.
Neighbour having a freaking rave at 2 AM in the morning? Bling your speakers. Hours later when you're done and their party isn't over, BLAST AC/DC LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. It's not like their stupid techno music or incessant giggling and screaming can compare to AC/DC.
Get flamed on a forum? BLING YOUR MOUSE AND NAPALM THE OTHER MOFO. LIKE A BOSS.
Skank calls you fat? ----sorry this one must punish. Pour cheap plastic crystals in her food
(not Swarovski please) and watch her choke to death.
I think this became a how-to-exact-vengeance-after-blinging list.
Anyway, here're a couple of pictures of my other blinged stuff. Been itching to get my laptop done cause even though it's pink and sparkly, there aren't any Swarovski crystals on it and that makes me sad.
My fake-blackberry Nokia E71. Loved the plush heart so much, i used it as a centrepiece, but after a couple of months it's become a little flat and dingy. The downside of using cloth in decoden i suppose.
This is my camera. Didn't deco the entire thing cause i like the colour. The crystals on the lens rotate when i turn on the camera. I WILL TAKE A VIDEO ONE DAY. IT IS
THAT COOL.
Here're the materials i use; there are actually 2 variations of the deco princess glue. The one in the pink packaging is quickdry, i bought the one that takes a longer time cause i'm fickle and have butterfingers. Accidents always happen, the extended drying time gives me a chance to fix those accidents.
Little bits and pieces i've collected over the past 2 years doing decoden. Running low on smaller Flatback crystals though. Need to restock when i get back to Singapore in November.
Sometimes people ask me why i have such time and money wasting hobbies.
1. When my stuff are shiny, i lose them less easily.
2. It's better than spending my nights drinking and passed out in alleyways. At least blinging is tangible, those dollars you're drinking away at the club or bar? intangible.
In other news:
Heading out to town tomorrow with Yogi cause I THINK WE ALL NEED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND BREATHE SOME OUTSIDE AIR.
Bro outing FTW.
