Mou Hitotsu No Birthday

The day I tell the boy I like that I love him,

That will be my new birthday

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So apparently, my parents, who are extremely unsocial, have decided that instead of inviting people over for my sixteenth birthday next month that they would much rather prefer to have my party on the same day as my grandmother’s annual Easter party (We’re not very religious, so the celebration is very much casual). I’m not entirely sure what to think of this. The  people who usually come to my grandmothers parties are my second cousins, my great-aunts, people who aren’t in my normal circle of family, so I will be celebrating my birthday with these people. Not too bad, but these extended family members haven’t celebrated my birthday since i was five (Little Mermaid party FTW!), so they’re supposed to give me birthday presents, which is going to feel weird.

It’s not that i don’t want presents (if you can name a more pleasurable simple pleasure than ripping off shiny wrapping paper and tying your hair up in the leftover ribbon, I’ll give you the world), but I have no idea what to ask for. My mother always told me it was in bad taste to ask for money, since it’s not personal enough, and I can’t ask for clothes, because I’ve had too many clothes that were given to me not fit (not to mention I have very specific tastes). So what to ask for?

I asked my mother for a Red Ipod Nano (fourth generation), and I asked my grandma for a purse I’ve wanted (which i will describe in later detail), but other than that I have no idea what I would like. I’m the type that has to walk through a store to know what I want, I can’t name something off the top of my head. I do want something with Charmmy Kitty though. I find it hilarious that Hello Kitty has a pet cat.

NOW.

The Bag.

But more importantly…

the characters.

Sugarminuet are a pair of sister bunnies, both of which are ballerinas.

This may have just done me in. I love bunnies, and ballet, and roses! Not so much sisters, but that’s okay. These characters are spin-offs of the considerably less cute “Sugarbunnies”. They already have tons of merchandise, all in a whimsical, ribbon and lace ballet theme. Which brings me to…

The Bag.

Ahhhhh. The Bag. This bag… it’s incredible…

Well, some may see it as tacky, but I have a thing for novelty bags, or just ones with cute characters on them.

I’ve given up on finding a bag to match everything, so I’m going a tad out of the box on this one. The blue goes with nothing I wear, but whatever.

Next thing on my list is to track down  a Swan Lake-Themed bag. I saw ones years ago and thought $30 was too much to pay for a bag (how young and dumb. It was a very large bag, too). The same thing happened with a Jem adn the Holograms shirt Hot Topic had two years ago. I thought it was too expensive. REGRET.

And now I’m too old for a Jem shirt. Bleh.

Does anyone watch “Just Say Julie”? It’s a music/comedy show from the 80’s, featuring valley girl Julie Brown. It’s hilarious. Especially one episode, where she tries to prove that blondes are dumb.

 

Bye.

WAIT: This is Mina’s post. I’m writing in pink temporarily because the red has been hurting my eyes.
