  • Hello Kitty Freak

    Hey guys. :) As many of you know, I am a Hello Kitty Freak.
    This weekend (Saturday) my sister, some friends and I are going to an anime convention. I don't feel like wearing a cosplay (costume of an anime character) but I am going to dress up as...

    the ULTIMATE HELLO KITTY OBSESSED FREAK.

    Yup. :) Basically, I am going to wear all the Hello Kitty junk I can pile on at once without feeling too hindered, lol.

    So far I am wearing:

    - Red HK t-shirt
    - Blue HK PJ pants
    - Pink HK flip flops OR Black & pink HK slippers (may alternate for comfort)
    - Black HK watch
    - Pink HK slap bracelet
    - 2 HK rings
    - Green HK barrette
    - Red Devil HK necklace
    - 1 HK keychain
    - 3 HK plush keychains
    - 1 HK plush whose arms clip on to... whatever
    - white HK short sleeved hoodie
    - HK socks (possibly, they have holes in the toes so maybe not)

    Additionally, I painted my nails pink, with little HK faces on the thumbs/big toes and "I <3 H K" on the other 4 nails. I will probably draw whiskers on my face, and I am going to carry a blue HK purse that my sister made me. I have like 8 other HK purses but I like this one best 'cause it's big and easy to get in and out of and whatnots.

    Inside the purse:
    - HK water bottle
    - HK wallet
    - HK Nintendo DS case (within which is my pink DS with HK skin and HK headphones)
    - HK change purse
    - HK notepad & pen
    - HK chapstick
    - HK nail clippers
    - HK bandaids
    - HK button (on purse)
    - HK guitar pick (I'm bringing my guitar for funtimes)

    I am thinking of carrying my HK hand puppet with me.
    I have some left over HK Valentines cards, so I am going to 'spread the gospel' of Hello Kitty by handing them out to people and asking them, "Have you found Hello Kitty yet? She loves you!"

    My fingernails are freaking adorable by the way. :) ADORABLE!

    I decided against wearing my bathrobe because it is really hot, covers a lot of the rest of the stuff, and isn't very flattering. Not that being entirely decked out in Hello Kitty is.

    The only thing non-Hello Kitty I will have on my will be my cell phone. My old cell phone had a Hello Kitty faceplate AND phone charms, but my new one has neither interchangable faceplates NOR a place to attach charms! D: But it IS hot pink. I am thinking of slapping on a sticker. The guitar may suffer this fate as well. That wouldn't be a problem if my dad had gotten me that freaking HK guitar for Christmas like I asked! D:<

    Yes, this post is entirely Hello Kitty related. The sad part is, this isn't even half of the Hello Kitty things I own.

    Yay! :D

  • Hey guys. :) I guess I just had a 24-hour flu thing, 'cause it's gone already! Yay!

    I got sick at like 6 in the morning and was throwing up but by 10 I was just kind of sore and fever-y for the rest of the day. My mom brought me some Saltines and 7-Up and Pepto and Tylenol PM, lol. I woke up today feeling great! And I didn't go to any classes yesterday but I did catch up on my French workbook... and beat Gardenia in my new Pokemon game, hahaha.

    I was bummed - no American Idol last night! D: Silly Obama, speaking during my favorite show... I'm guessing it will be on tonight. But my roomies and I did get to watch Biggest Loser! We usually watch American Idol and flip to Biggest Loser on the commercials, so it was nice to see the whole thing this time! But ANTM is on tonight, so I hope American Idol doesn't interfere with that... grr. Silly TV schedules! I watch too many TV shows, lol.

    Anyway, the good thing about being sick is that you lose weight... hahaha. Just kidding. But yeah. My scale says 205.5 right now, but I'm not gonna change my ticker until I can get a more accurate weight tomorrow. :)

    b - banana & water

    l - healthy choice & black beans w/corn

HW: 217 LW: 162 CW: 214 (May not be accurate if I forget to update it, see ticker on page.) I don't really support eating disorders or unhealthy eating habits, but it's your choice and I will friend anyone who is friendly, motivating, and not completely crazy or self-hating.

The Basics

I'm Gigi.
It actually is my real name (or nickname) - my full name is Virginia.
I'm a 19 year old college student.
I'm a Spanish major, minoring in French and also studying Chinese.
I want to be a translator.
I love my languages so you'll see hints of them in here often.
I am going to study abroad in Spain next semester.
I'm very in love with pets and animals.
I'm a little girl inside a grown woman's [fat] body.

The Issue

I've been overweight since I was probably 10 years old.
When I was little my mom used to call me 'Skinny Mini.' Hah.
On Dec. 31, 2006, I made a resolution not to eat fast food.
It turned into starting Weight Watchers.
By May, 2007, I'd lost 30 pounds.
Since then, I've gained over 50 pounds.
I feel awful and frustrated, but I know I can do this again.
My first weight loss Xanga was ginnybug. Please comment if you knew me on there!
I'm 5'3".
