GC from a parent point of view, I like the first one better. She can wear it lots plus it's more "pink" than the second (which is cute but in a different way), more in keeping with the HK theme. But both are really cute and I'm sure will work.

I had no clue about the world in my mid teens. Heck, I'm lucky I was expected to go to college, I guess, most of the girls where I lived thought graduating from high school was more than good enough.

Dentist was fine. He was actually able to preserve 3/4 of the teeth, so he sort of popped out the part that had the crack (which is the stuff MY NIGHTMARES ARE MADE OF, literally, I have tooth nightmares more than any other kind) and I'll have a porecelin "fill-in" in the back there.

Doscovery of the day. Listening to music on the iPod real loud while the drills and stuff are going REALLY helps! Also, gives a sense of the time. It only took like one song for each step of the process. So it didn't feel so endless.

I am taking a half mental health day this afternoon. I kind of wish I didn't have class, but I do and there you go. Enjoying having the house to myself.

This dress [link] seems more costumey, but I kind of like the idea that she could actually wear the outfit after Halloween. What do y'all think

Plus the color is "cranberry" so I'm guessing it's less pink than it appears.

Hello Kitty compound

Behind the electrified fence and countless guards, those at Tokyo’s branch of the evil Hello Kitty empire produce more and more mind-boggling merchandise; thousands of them working away whilst the phenomenally famous feline silently looks on.

I think I got the habit of using(most of) my real name because Table Talk was my first posting board and Mary Beth had a Thing. But my family calls me Chica anyway, and I have no shame. Sometimes I think about pseuds I might use, but, eh. Especially because my pseud on match was that of sexual victim Angela Frandina. Which I found hilarious, but sweet Italian guys were always telling me I should be more careful and not put my name online that way. At least until they were like "You don't like that, do you?"

Hello Kitty compound

Dude. I so need to get my ass to Tokyo...

Whenever I hear the word "compound" I think of scary militia types. Whenever I heard "Hello Kitty" I think of weird scary mouthless anime thingies.

To me, the Hello Kitty compound would probably be a hell on earth.

In the grim future of Hello Kitty, there is only war.

But it's an awfully cute war. With less yelling and screaming.
