So... wow, I haven't posted in such a long time, haha. A looot has happened since my last update. The fiance and I are no longer together. We had a good run, and it was a lot of fun, but we eventually had to go our separate ways. I'm good, I'm happy. :]

I got my GED about a month ago, and I've applied for college. It's a huge step for me, because, honestly, I didn't see myself going this far. I really thought I was completely hopeless. haha, guess not! I'm going to major in English, minor in education, with a special interest in Japanese (although, tbh, I'd rather study Korean). That's a mouthful. haha!

If you follow my numerous youtubes, you'd know that I've been working on music with my boyfriend. Our band is called Divided By Toast (for now!) and while we've been MIA for quite a few months, we'll hopefully start up again soon. My other youtubes have been neglected as well, but I want to get back into making videos for sure.

On to more important things... I LOVE WORLD OF WARCRAFT!! CAN'T WAIT FOR CATA. MIGHT HAVE A STROKE. :] This game has turned my life into a sexy whirlwind of blood elf hunters and paladins. I wish Taurens were prettier... Cause I love druids, and my friends have forbade me to join the dark side (which is actually where I started out this time around... >>).

Well... I guess that's about it... <3

Soooo. :] I got a hair cut~~ I like it a lot, buuuut. The thing is, my fiance' doesn't like short hair. And he made me cry, that hooker. He didn't mean to or anything, but he just made it seem like it was this huuuuge ordeal. Come to find out, he was only joking and once he saw how upset I was, he told me that I'm the most beautiful person in the world and nothing I would ever do would make him see me differently. :D I love that boy.

My hair is angled downwards from the back. I started out just wanting some layers, because my hair is thin and really fine, so it looks flat constantly so layers make it, like, ba-bam. Buuuuut, after she took off an inch or so, I was like, heck. I might as well do something cool. :] I feel really good about it. But I can't waaaait to try out extensionsssss. haha!!

Outfit:

I went to Kenpo (kind of like karate) in that outfit. With two inch heels. lmao! It was a lot of fun!! But other than that, nothing really happened today... So... on with the tutorial!! Leopard print nails!!




In this tutorial, I will be using three colors from the Sinful Colors line. White is for the base, black is for the spots, and a nice peachy color to fill in the spots and make them stand out more.




Start out with your base. I used two coats, but it's your preference.



Dab lightly with the edge of the black nail polish brush. Make about half of a circle, and in random patterns on your finger nail.



Fill in the half circles with a small dab of the peachy color. You're all done!! :]

Soooo, for the past few days, I've been studying up on hime (or princess) fashion. It's just very cutesy, frilly, pink and white clothing and accessories. I've always really loved cute stuff (yes, I'm still on a hello kitty kick. haha) and bows and ribbons. I feel like it doesn't matter how old you get. You can always look cute. And I don't mean cute as in attractive. I mean cute as in PRINCESS. :D Who doesn't want to be a princess??




What I'm wearing today is not hime fashion. ]: I just thought I'd tell everyone what I'm into these days. When I get my job, I plan on buying a bunch of cool cutesy stuff! I can't waaaait to make money! <3333

Comments have been fixed!! For some reason, the embed comment feature didn't work. ]; So, the comments are now in a pop-up window. Thank you to everyone who has emailed me! :] It means a lot to me, and you can continue to email me as often as you like. I check it very often!! But now you don't have to go through the trouble!! Hopefully this site starts getting more traffic soon...

COMING THIS WEEK!! Cheetah print nail tutorial, with pictures! :]

So, my life has been pretty uneventful (besides moving out of my dad's house, did I tell you about that?) the last few weeks, hence my not posting daily. I might have a job by tomorrow. *crossing of the fingers* I can't believe they don't allow makeup and fingernail polish! What will I doooo? I love painting my nails and doing my makeup!! D; And I have to take at least one of my rings off, and I can NOT decide which one to get rid of. They're all pretty important to me. I think I'm just going to take them all off, except for the engagement ring. ]: It makes me feel uneasy to do that, though.

I miss my mom, like, a lot. I'm going to call her tomorrow. She doesn't even know I've moved. I've been here for weeks. I need to get on the ball, yo. For serious. And I need to go spend the night at her house. gaaaaaah. I've got so much going on. This is crazy.

So, the new video is up on youtube. You should check it out.


I swear, I get comments fixed soon. For now, email me at carissalecates@gmail.com

This is absolutely crazy. I'm crazy. Insane. Out of my mind. Sometimes, I get like this. I got like this in the summer. Everyday, I drove myself insane, and I feel it again. I feel it in my chest, like I can't breathe, but I'm breathing too deeply. Like my heart is beating too fast to accomplish anything. I don't know why I do this.

They say crazy people don't know they're crazy.

This photo was taken by John. :D
So, this is my first post in a whiiiiile. haha I really thought I would keep up with this. But lately, I've been coming home from school a chillin' like a villain. You know? Anyway, about this picture. This is my boyfriend and I, on Valentine's day. We're cool right? We don't go out. We get our pictures taken. lmao! I think the rest of this week will be dedicated to the pictures we took on this night.

About V-Day~~~ Everybody slept laaaaaate. haha! Then, we hung out for a while before Jacob had to go to work. And we slept some more haha. Such lazy people. Finally, later that night, we took a walk to Ling Ling's to get some grub. It was soooo cold and Vince kept telling me to run but my pants were too big! haha!! We ate in the living room, and then got our pictures taken. After that, we went into his room to watch a movie, but I passed out. haha! They tried to wake me up to tell me to get up (it was getting so laaaate~ I was so tiiired~).

It wasn't exceptionally romantic, and I know Vince wanted to do something more lovey-dovey, but I think just being together was good enough. I had so much fun just sitting around doing nothing. :] I see a wonderful future ahead of us, and a million awesome-amazing V-days to come.
