The Girl With Blue Hair: 'I Will Be True' (From Lips of Lying Dying Wonder Body #1)

I hadn't really shopped in a while until this week, when I bought 5 pairs of plugs (I believe I wrote about it a few entries down) and then went to Great Northern with Manda and we found some good sales. I also found out Gertrude Hawk's Hot Fudge Sundae truffle is tasty for 3 seconds, then tastes like vom. No lie. Later that night, we went to a party with Eddie in Pinegate South. It was a really good time; we drank quite a bit, I pet a cat (of course), we went skinny dipping later, drank moar, and fell asleep at Manda's. =D

I started blacksmithing yesterday! I went to my grandparents' house, pet/held Popeye (the one-eyed cat that lives next door) for a while, helped fix the lawnmower, and made dinner (vegetable and beef stew + peaches and cream for dessert). But before dinner, my grandfather showed me how to straighten metal on the anvil with the hammer, the rhythm, safety stuff, how to curve metal, etc. I pounded some iron into a curve and then straightened it a couple of times, and it was really fun; I'm super stoked to do it again soon. :D

Oh, and I have a fucking unhealed sprain in my wrist. I'm pretty sure it's from falling down the stairs a few weeks ago. I went to the doctor today for various reasons, that being one of them, and she said I have to buy a hard wrist splint to avoid unnecessarily bending it. :( Shit sucks. Ah well, at least it'll stop hurting!

Things I already have for moving in:

Desk (thanks to Tommy's generosity)
Bed (thanks to Nathan moving into a smaller place and not being able to own a queen size there)
10 photo frames from Christmas 2007 that I just...never filled; this will be super helpful for my decorating
Full-length mirror (found next to David's car when he helped me move out of the dorms)
Quilts + pillow cases
My makeup toolbox, recently cleaned, reorganized, revamped

Things I need or want to purchase/find on Craigslist/get at a garage sale once there:

Record player - I'm sick of owning vinyls and only being able to play them at other people's houses. Granted, we have a record player but it's heavily used and from the 60s/70s, and it definitely needs a new needle. Not to mention the fact that shipping that shit would be hard.
Sheets
Plug box (preferably wood; I need to line it with felt or velvet)
Dishes/silverware
Dresser

Things I have recently bought:

3 pairs of plugs from Steel Navel (close-ups in the entry below - picture of all the new plugs together)
2 pairs from GT: 7/16" df wooden hearts (!!!) and 7/16" trans purple Kaos eyelets
H&M organic sweater; originally $30, sale for $5
Three pairs of H&M lace unmentionables (I don't particularly like the word "panties"); originally $8 each, got them for $1/pair
Victoria's Secret tote; originally $20, sale for $4.50
Victoria's Secret eyelash curler; originally $16 on sale for $4
