I've been wanting to update for a while, but lately I haven't had a lot to say. Life is ticking along, not a lot of any great interest has been happening. I don't think anyone really wants to hear me wax lyrical over skirts and my newfound love thereof, and I haven't been thinking of much else XD



Oh, I added someone on MSN that I didn't really want to - I don't really know why I didn't put my foot down and say no (I did once, but then he came back and was like, "I insist!"). I have nothing to talk to him about, I don't really like him a great deal and he's made himself an enemy of a few of my friends. I think he only added me so he could tout me as someone 'on his side', otherwise I have no idea why he wants to speak to me - I'm honestly not that good at things like MSN. I go through phases where I'm chatty, but mostly I'm pretty quiet because I have nothing to say.


Uh, oh! I added a bunch of fat positive blogs on Tumblr, and they all reblog themselves! It's not like I have a problem with that or anything, but it gets a little overwhelming, haha. And then I have a bunch of punk ones, which are all quite political (obviously, I guess). My Tumblr dashboard used to be cute things and pretty landscapes, now it's like, fat women, politics and the occasional cupcake. And lots of zombies.

I want to hear about your skirts! You've been sewing some, right? You should take some pictures and show off your handiwork. :3

Some of the Tumblrs I follow reblog each other all the time, as well. It gets a little silly sometimes. XD

I guess I'll make a post about them at some point then xD And yeah, I've been making my own - I don't actually wear any skirts that I haven't made myself... Which I've just realised, neat!

I'd unfollow some, but in general they all post awesome things as well as the endless reblogs, so I have no idea who I'd take off XD

You are definitely the coolest. I tried to sew a pair of trousers for myself, once, but I got distracted halfway through and never finished them. Probably too ambitious a first project, anyway. I've always kind of wanted to be one of those cool people who make/mod their clothes, though.

Late reply is so laaaaate!

I have heard that trousers can be ridiculously hard to do - I think it depends on what type, like pj pants and (so I've heard) harem pants are easy enough, but anything that's more fitted is apparently very awkward. One woman in my sewing class started a pair, but they gave her a ton of problems.

Making and modding your own clothes goes SO MUCH BETTER when you have a sewing machine, otherwise I think you generally get stuck cutting up t-shirts and stuff, which is fine, but does get boring after a while, ahaha.
